NEED HELP with unlocking verizon galaxy s3 bootloader..:)

Ight guys like the title says I need help on getting my gs3 back to where I can unlock my bootloader.. when I had first got the phone I was able to root and unlock and then as u all know about Verizon forcing update on our phones it happened to mine.. so I went ahead and rooted the phone with no problem and then downloaded the ez-unlock and it says that my bootloader is unlocked but it doesn't let me lock it but anyways I downloaded the cm10 nightly and gapps and when I flashed it and when I rebooted it it went to a message saying that I have downloaded a unauthorized software and that I had to take it to Verizon... so I did the whole system flash think and went back to stock the. Rooted again and the ez app tells me that my bootloader is still unlocked so I powers off and went to the downloading thing on boot up and at the bottom it shows a quadcomm secureboot. Enabled is they why I cant flash cm10??

Yes, if you have an older version or wait for them to update the current one.

Just look at the version number and Google it, sometimes older builds will pop. Good luck

Right now it's version 1.3. Is that the bad one?

If that's what's in the play store, than yes. Look for an older version

Download it and see. It will not hurt anything if it doesn't work.

1.3 is the broken one. 1.2 works.

Sorry to bother you I hope you were able to get your phone working. If so how did you do it? I have downloaded several files, apps, and programs, and I have been searching all over the internet,but I can only enter download mode. bootload will not work it shows the blue letters, but goes black afterwards, and then reverts back to the verizon lock screen. I have Odin, and I have downloaded
USB DRIVERS
VLAREC,
ROOT,
CWM6023TouchVZW.tar.md5,
VRBLK3_Bootchain.tar.md5,
VRLE6.bootloader
PLEASE HELP IF ABLE. TY

If you have taken the 4.3 OTA, you cannot unlock your bootloader. Any attempt to do so will brick your device. If you have already attempted it this thread will most likely help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586319

If you already bricked it you can download a debrick file, download the 16 gb pit file or do a factory restore from scratch. I was able to get rooted, and unlocked on 4.3 with my S3 let me take a look back at my files, and I can tell you which ones you need, and how to fix your issues.:good:

This. ^^
I used 1.2 on my VZW GS III with 4.4.2 and it got bricked upon reboot. And from what I've seen it was as soon as the 4.3 update and I believe a recent firmware update, as well. If you have the latest firmware and at least 4.3, don't use EZ-Unlock at all unless you want to go through hoops to possibly (no guarantee) get it working again.

[Q] Unlock Bootloader

I'm sure this has already been posted but I can't find it. If so I'm sorry and please just link me to it. I just picked up my Verizon Galaxy S3 about an hour ago. I rooted it using "RootDebugfs.bat". After rooting I installed ClockworkMod ROM manager then installed the ClockwordMod Recovery. Then I downloaded CM10 Stable using the ROM Manager and installed the CM10 Stable ROM. After the phone got done backing up my system and installing the custom ROM it rebooted to a screen saying
System software not authorized by Verizon wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help.

When I try to boot into recovery I am given the same message. I can boot into ODIN mode though and am just wondering what I should do. I have ODIN3 v3.07 installed. I just don't know where to go from here.
Thank you in advance for any advice/help given and once again I'm sorry if this has already been answered somewhere.

mobile odin is not yet supported for 9500, but you can simply flash either modem or any other files via flashify on both 9500/9505

hmm
EDIT.. yeah I think I have that wrong, apologies OP..

Hello yes mobile odin pro will work but it is easier to flash through recovery on the i9500 follow link to modems currently i9500 is the only version that can flash modems in recovery

I wasn't sure if aptoide was a pirate app store or not. one thing I've read says it's used by developers, other things say get paid apps for free.. if it's the later, this wasn't the best place to put that link.

Do note that if your phone has the nasty habit of sometimes not booting up when charger is plugged in, it will fail and you'll have to flash a new stock firmware with odin.
This happened to me yesterday.. Very nasty.. Recovery wouldn't boot neither except for download mode.

That's the problem. It broke my recovery. It couldn't boot anything up except for download mode.

everroot ?
while I'm here, was wondering if everroot works with all the things Samsung has done to make rooting more problematic.. it's gonna be a while before I flash a stock fw to find out for myself and I don't have a laptop to use on a regular basis..

@Tab stuck on boot screen

First of all sorry if this is wrong section feel free to move to relevant section.
I have a @tab 10 dual core. We got them at work and now the company have gone bust so can't send it back.
It is stuck on the main boot screen I have used the rockbatchtool to reflash the firmware still no joy. At work we had the 13.3 version as well and they sent me a versus tab firmware for that and it worked on the 13.3 @tab, so I have tried the same for the 10 but no joy just a white screen.
I can't force cwm on there as there doesn't seem to be any way of getting it into boot loader as there are no volume buttons.
Does anyone have any idea or if I posted it to them they could have a play in the UK
Thanks

find original firmware for your tab or any similar tablet and flash it
otherwise your tablet is of no use.

I have done that.
Got the original firmware and flashed it back on and still same sticks on @tab boot screen.

[Completed] My nandroid backup doesn't work?

I made a nandroid backup. I wanted to restore it, but after I did my phone got stuck on the boot logo. I restored my phone again and tried to use titanium backup to get my app data back, but when I tired, titanium backup would just crash while I was restoring it (I got no error or anything.) Then I tired to use nandroid manager, but it would get stuck trying to restore certain apps. So do you have idea on what I can do to fix this?

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Unfortunately, sometimes nandriods get corrupted. It sounds like that may have happened in your case. You're most likely going to have to start over with your device. But you didn't post any information on your device so I can't help you specifically. Can you provided that information?

Thanks for the reply! I have a Samsung Galaxy s4. I'm on Android 4.4.2. My model number is SGH-1337M

If your device is not booting into the os you'll most likely need to flash the stock firmware in Odin. If you're not sure how to do that you can get additional help here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320430

I did. It wouldn't boot once I tired to restore my nandroid backup so I had to do a factory reset.

Flashing the stock firmware in odin is not the same as a factory reset. Odin puts the entire OS back on your device. Please use the link I gave you where experts on your device can help.
