Hello, and thanks for being there!
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3, from Verizon, no longer connected to Verizon, since having retired the phone.
Running the original ROM, but rooted the phone using TowelRoot, easy-peasy!
There is no SD card, and have removed the SIM card, for the purpose of ridding the phone of everything and anything Verizon, but have discovered the bootloader must be Verizon-issued, since the splash screen upon booting is all about Verizon.
Methinks I will need to install a new operating system on the phone in order to truly get rid of all Verizon references, but I need some basic, basic, basic education first, on the topic of root, ROM, bootloader, etc, etc.
Can you point me to threads where a rank noobie can get an education on the basics?
Thanks in advance for your help; me appreciates it!

You can start with > Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III General > [REF] Understanding the basics before rooting your S3. There's a lot of good information there.
You can find that guide and more like it in > Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III General > Samsung Galaxy S3 General Sticky Roll-Up Thread

hi! im new in android iwant to know that is it good for me to install custom rom in my i9500 if it is then tell me how!!
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. It's definitely fine to install a custom ROM on your device. However, being a beginner you'll need to do a lot of reading to familiarise yourself with the device and the process of unlocking it and installing custom firmware. Don't rush into it, people who rush end up bricking (destroying) their phone, take your time and do a lot of reading so you're sure that you know what you're doing before you actually attempt anything. You'll find the Galaxy S4 device forum here:
Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G, i9506
Good luck!

To start, I love this forum. You all have saved me and taught me so much. Thanks
But I have searched all over and am not finding anything to work. I know that I'm needing some professional help lol.
Currently have a soft-bricked galaxy s3 us cellular (SCH-R530). Phone was rooted and I can still access CWM thru the VolumeUP+PWR+Home on boot. I still have access to the download menu. Other than that the phone hangs on boot on the Samsung Galaxy s3 screen.
Here is the information I have found And tried pertaining to this phone. My biggest hold up is that alot of the downloads have been removed, as this is an old phone.

As far as I can tell, they're the same device, and therefore because the US Cellular version doesn't have a dedicated section on XDA, it defaults to being here.

What Guide do I use for Galaxy S4 SPH-L720T 5.0.1
I have rooted the phone before or so I thought but apparently something didn't take.
I have tried to find what guide to use but there seem to be so many variables and I am a bit lost on the phone terminology that I can't find the information I am looking for.
I am just looking for a guide that gives me step by step for this version
thanks

finally i got Android Marshmallow on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4, but the "THEME-ENGINE" is missing, i mean i wanted that feature & i thought that it would automatically come with Android 6 but its missing, likewise the phone icon/button on lockscreen is also missing, so if you dont mind please suggest how to have it without ROOTING Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
thank you for you concern

Hello
Thank you for using XDA Assist.
Samsung made Theme Engine missing at Note4 and S5 Marshmallow releases and, unfortunately, without rooting, you will be unable to accomplish your desire.
