Hello major Android world. I come to ask for help about a problem that occurred at my Android phone Galaxy S3 I535 4.4.2 (I535VZWDNE1) . Last time I wanted to go through rom manager pro to install CWM above. Obviously the TOUCH release was offered to me. And once accepted, there was an error when downloading this one. I repeat this action several times but the error still occurs. I finally installing the CWM (no touch). Once the phone start in recorvery I get a message like :
<<system software not authorized by verizon wireless galaxy s3 >>.
Help me solve this problem. well thank you to all

You can't solve this problem. You are on 4.4.2, the bootloader on your phone is locked, and it cannot be unlocked. You cannot install CWM or any other custom recovery. Your only option is safestrap and a couple of ROMs you can flash if that is your end goal. There is a safestrap thread here in the Galaxy S3 forum. Find it and you can read up on it. For starters, you may have to flash the full 4.4.2 factory tar file in ODIN.

I recently user rooted my device per the forum excellent instructions but now am unable to to update the firmware for the android OS. When I get the popup notifying me that an upgrade has been downloaded, I go through the drill of rebooting to the Odin screen and then reboot but am then advised that the upgrade failed and something about using Kies. I user rooted the device in anticipation of installing Ubuntu but haven't done it yet. I intended to be able to dual boot depending on what I am working on. I use the android OS most of the time and it works ok but will not upgrade itself. I have searched the posts regarding the inability to upgrade android when the system is rooted but haven't found anything that I understand or that tells me whether or not it is even possible to upgrade the android OS when user rooted. Can anyone answer the question succinctly and if it is possible point me to instructions on how to do it. Any help is sincerely appreciated.

Hi. That's right, you can't make OTA official updates anymore if you rooted the tablet.
You can however download the new firmware version from sammobile (official non-rooted) or some custom version from XDA, then flash it with odin or mobile odin (for official), or CWM (for custom "zip").
Here's a tutorial for Galaxy Note, but it might work for your tablet too - anyway it gives you an idea of how that can be done. The written procedure is here.
going through the same issue...
I am having the same troubles as the person who started this thread. I rooted my samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 from the instructions that I found on this forum. I also installed ClockWork Mod recovery as per the rooting instructions. Now that I am hearing that I will be unable to update to jelly bean (official) because I rooted my device what can i do to work around this problem?
What if we reboot into Clock Work Mod recovery and use the option to restore device to stock firmware? If we did that option it would restore the tablet back to its factory resetting and then could we upgrade to Jelly Bean using the "software update" option?
Or is downloading a firmware from sammobile the best option?
I am really not sure about what to do next...
Hope to hear some kind of response on what to do next...
You can get JB stock from sammobile and flash it with odin. Or you can get a custom JB rom from xda and flash it with cwm. There's nothing complicated about upgrading, both ways are good. I would pick the second one, this way you stay rooted.
Dear all,
I'm in serious problem now. I'm using Samsung Galaxy Note II - N7100 and I'm from Malaysia.
For my country, the Android 4.3 not yet released but I had flashed my ROM to the India ROM which released last few days ago.
And after tested for few days, I found there is some issue and I tried to downgrade it to 4.1.2 but it failed. Until at the end, I end up my device with soft brick. I lost my IMEI number previously and now I successfully get back.
FYI, sorry that I'm newbie and I don't know that the KNOX security prevent to downgrade until now I know it.
Now, I have a device that is rooted. FYI, I didn't root the device but it rooted itself and also now I'm in trouble is whatever official ROM I tried to flash, it will be failed. I had tried to flash back to Android 4.3 with ODIN but it show me failed. Only one ROM that is allowed which is the ROM that come with my phone, Android 4.1.1.
One more weird thing is that I did do Factory Reset, Wipe Cache and Partition but when it goes into the Android interface, I could still see my previously connected Wi-Fi SSID there. It seem doesn't delete at all but for other things like my files, all are deleted.
I had tried many method to unroot the phone, reset the binary count and etc. But all my efforts were in vain.
I using ODIN to flash my phone. Please, Please and Please help me. I really had no idea what to do.
I'm very depress now. Please help me.... Please....:crying:
As i don't know anything about knox security or something like that, i don't really know how to help, but i found a link which could help you eventually....especially now, where you are rooted.
Good luck :thumbup:

Hi guys.I am new to forum so i didn't know where to open this thread.Also i have checked internet for a solution but never seen a dumb thing like this before in my life.So even google search engine couldn't help me about that.
One of my friend has purchased a device from dubai.it is an original device of i9505 with snapdragon 600 processor.I am personally using an i9500 octa version btw.my friend told me to check his device after he had problems with gsm service+wifi for 3g doesn't connect(or connect and drops fast) so i went to check his device.i have used some system info tools and benchmark softwares to identify the device is ok.but NO IT WAS NOT OK.all of the system info tools says that the device is i9500 but it has snapdragon processor.some idiot somehow managed to write i9500 rom to i9505 and it is working with problems.i have checked camera both ok frontal and rear.and other device properties working good as well.i should expect that it should even fail to boot but somehow working with great deal of no phone service+3g problem(phone service sometimes work i really don't know how it works or how it fails).
So i decided to make things right.Which is put the right original galaxy s4 i9505 rom to that device.i have checked sammobile and found germany version of kitkat.
general info : device is rooted.it says it has Wanamlite rom 4.2.2.
My Try list:
1)downloaded odin 3.09 and followed the instructions.(used the official rom given from sammobile.)and put the mobile to download mode(i couldn't do it with volume down+home+power button cos it is not working)but i thought i was lucky cos that custom rom had an option when i push the power button/restart/ it says there is a download menu so i choose that to put the device to download mod.after that i was hoping odin will do the job.but it FAILED DUE TO WRITE PROTECTION ENABLED on device.
2)i tried to setup cwm recovery to device(which i figured out later it was already on device but i didn't know it was there).downloaded rom manager from playstore.and i thought it would work.rom managers says i had 2 recovery programs or rom managers on the phone 1 is cwm and other is teamwin recovery.also rom manager asks me to update or upgrade cwm but it does't recognise the device cos it is i9505 with i9500 rom and rom manager couldn't identify the device as it should be.so cwm update doesn't work.also i couldn't get to the user interface of cwm which is already on the device no matter what i do.also i know old version of cwm will not make it happen for what i need to do if i was able to get in the user interface as well.i think teamwin is blocking cwm.
so on rom manager i decided to use the team win cos there is no other option for me there which puts the phone after a restart to recovery mod,the user interface works ok there but teamwin also FAILED TO WRITE THE ROM(i think it is an old version too)i couldn't say the exact version of cwm cos the device is not with me and i forget the version but team win i asked to my friend just yet and he said TWRP 2.6.00 is on it.
3)CWM i can't even get to user interface,i really don't know how to with team win there.So yeah i couldn't even give a try.
4)I am stuck.and i don't know what to do.
general user profile about me: i have a general understanding of computers,but i haven't written any rom to galaxy s4 before yet i found myself in a situation i can't handle.someone screwed up an i9505 with a i9500 rom.
ANY HELP FROM ANYONE will be very appriciated.
i have managed to upgrade tw recovery with flashify to final version but in odin still write protection is enabled in the download mod.so odin again failed.btw after upgrading tw with flashify i lost my ability to get into operating system.i just have tw recovery on the screen atm.
the rom file i tried is this one I9505XXUFNB8_I9505VFGFNB3_I9505XXUFNB8_HOME.tar.md5 which i have downloaded from sammobile.
I9505XXUFNB8_I9505VFGFNB3_VOD.zip vodafone version it says for uk.
now i have a screen of tw recovery when the device opens.strange thing is i have 2 versions of tw recovery installed at the same time.when i press volume up+home+power tw version 2.6.00 loads.
or when i open the device with only power button tw recovery 2.7 loads.no operating system yet.
i tried I9505XXUFNB8_I9505VFGFNB3_VOD.zip with tw. it gave me an error of md5 not found and failed.
what now?
anybody around there to help?
another note : i don't know if it is important or not but it says the product name is sghi337.checked google it says at-t network.is this a useful information or what to identify the problem?
all i want is any rom to make the device work again with fully functioning.
after having twrp 2.7 i tried some roms had md5 error,so after a search i wanted to try wanamlite rom wanamlite-xxufnbe-v2-4-android-kitkat-4-4-2-xposed.after installing wanamlite rom it has asked me to reboot.so i did reboot it.it had adam kernel 2.1 version.
i was expecting the device will reboot but thanks to at&t for making odin useless + making twrp useless as well.it had a message on the screen and it was written ''samsung custom'' with a locker logo open.i thought i have to wait for the first boot and be patient and after waiting about half an hour still nothing.(on the left up of the screen written red : kernel)i checked more than maybe hundreds of threads to find an answer about at&t sghi337 galaxy s4 and some ppl say i have to change the kernel.and some say i have to change it to at&t kernel i searched again for an at&t kernel i found a file name KT-SGS4-TW-JB-ATT-06-06-2013.zip.then i gave a try to that.but suddenly i realized i have lost the ability of booting to twrp 2.7.all i have left with is twrp 2.6.00 when i press volume up+home.still lucky to have it.i used that kernel reboot and got a message on the screen ''system software not authorized by at&t''.then i started searching again ppl say about loki doki.downloaded the file and flashed it on at&t kernel this time it showed samsung logo appeared and the boot sound which you know all of us familiar with and samsung led was blue.the led was like it is a pounding heart coming on and off.this should be the first load of the rom i thought again and waited and got no result.it didn't load again.failed failed and failed many times.
i also tried this file named MDOB-KERNEL2STOCK-LIB.zip.flashed it no result again.failed.this result was another strange thing.it was showing samsung custom logo boot it with sound and then turn the device off after 10 seconds.and repeats the process.reboots sounds and reboots again and again.
questions :
1) do i have a bootloader locked device?since i can't use odin to flash anything.(odin version 3.09) and if i have what can i do to fix it?
2)since i only have twrp 2.6.00 how can i upgrade it to 2.7 back with twrp.i mean twrp update using twrp.
3)with twrp 2.6.00 i used wanamlite rom kitkat version.and it says it has flashed it.but can it flash roms succesfully enough like 4.4.2?if it says it flashed everything is ok? or it misses some important features to make the rom work.what is the maximum capability of twrp 2.6.00.Do i have to try roms like 4.2.2?
4)about kernels with at&t i337 galaxy s4 what can i do?what should be the reason preventing the rom load successfully?if i have access to twrp does it mean i don't have to mess with bootloader cos i have already passed that step and got an interface for loading roms?i mean everything is ok with bootloader if i have twrp installed user interface? and after flashing a rom do i have to use the specific kernel coming with the rom or can i use any kernel for the device like stock kernels(doen't allow me to load) with loki doki or some kernels with loki doki?
i am so helpless,please enlighten me with your knowledge.any moderators or any developers can answer me?or help me?
stuck in the middle of nowhere.please help.
Getting some progress at the end!!!
Since twrp 2.6.00 is the only option i have,or i can say ''was the only option i had'' i knew i had to get an android user interface for upgrading my recovery.after a bit more search i found slimroms for android version 4.2.2 just to make the device run,and it is already loki patched.so yeah that rom flashed as lightspeed and loaded extremely fast!that worked!!! i have downloaded aptoide market since it was lacking google apps.and downloaded flashify to upgrade the version of twrp to 2.7.01.from now on i believe i can find my way to whichever kitkat rom that is loki patched would work with this recovery support.
THANKS TO SLIMROMS for making downloadable and flashable small sized roms and tnx for the guy whoever found the loki way to make it possible.Also great thanks to TWRP team!!!
PLEASE NOTE THAT : Why did i write this after no reply or no help or no messages to this thread?Because i have figured out my way reading,trying and hard pushing after failing a lot but i found my way with xda developers threads out there even no one ever replied for help.I mean thanks anyway :cyclops:
When in doubt, flash to stock ROM and proceed from there.
you mean to tell me u cant enter download mode? ask someone to press the 3 buttons together to enter it and flash the firmware specified for that S4.
Hey, so basically I'm in a situation where I have no idea what to do.
I recently just got a new phone, and am going to give my Samsung Galaxy S3, SGH-T999V model - from Wind Mobile to my Dad. Basically, when I first got the phone - a couple months after, I decided to try Rooting it, and I did, successfully. Since I didn't really know what to do with my rooted phone, I decided to unroot it - then tried rooting it again some months later, but it didn't work successfully. Basically my phone wasn't rooted, but I had the "Team-Win" recovery on it.
I wanted to bring my phone back to it's original state - and have the stock recovery on it. After some Googling, my solution seemed to be to flash the stock rom for the SGH-T999V model onto my phone using Odin. And I did that - and it worked successfully. But I still couldn't check for OTA updates or anything, it said my phone had still been modified in an unauthorized way.
Now that I need to give the phone to my Dad, I have to format the device and erase everything. This is where my problem starts. When I try to format it (using the Stock recovery), I see a bunch of error messages, with the Android logo falling down in a kind of dead way. I reboot my device, and nothing changes.
It still has all my data, and everything on it.
Sorry if this is the wrong area to post this (I'm relatively new to the forum), and if my problem doesn't make much sense - I've tried being as detailed as possible. Could anyone help?
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Flashing the stock firmware should show you to get ota's. This should have everything you need,http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/samsung-galaxy-s3-sticky-roll-thread-t2344125. Also, you can ask further questions here,http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/help-thread-galaxy-s3-question-t2690307

Hi,
The first is to apologize for the language used, and the length of the text. I am from Spain and my level of English is low, so as it was a fairly long post I used Google Translator and I know that makes it very literal translation ...
I write this post to see if anyone can help me or give some idea ... I explain the problem.
I own for some time ago the Tablet, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012) . He has always liked to try new ROMs, so far without much trouble, but .... I tempted fate a lot.
At some point, after changing the Recovery and ROM, to test Marshmallow, the WiFi stopped working, which is a problem in a device of this type, you lose a lot of functionality.
I have tried many ROMS, about 10, and none of them work properly. It is true that some seems, makes the attempt, working. But it does not work.
I have also tried different Recoveries (CWRM, TWRP, Stock, HigOnAndroid, ....), and I have not gotten the Tablet WiFi work.
With all these tests, entering DOWNLOAD mode, it indicates that the device model is the Note 10.1 GT-N8000, the model without WiFi. And when you install a ROM, and go to Settings/Info, the system said that the Tablet is the GT-N8000 model.
This has led me to perform multiple tests:
A- Flash several ROMS by Recovey, usually used the TWRP.
B- Change Recovey installed by Odin 3.10
C- The last thing I have tried, is back to the original ROM and Recovery by Odin 3.10
All these attempts, multiple, have thrown me the same result. The WiFi does not work, and continues to indicate that is the model GT-N8000
The questions are:
1 - Is it normal, even the GT-N8013 model DOWNLOAD mode appears as the GT-8000?
2- Is there any way to get back to its original state, GT-N8013, with WiFi?
3- What Recovery would be most appropriate? (I once used the TWRP)
4- What ROM for this Tablet is the most appropriate? (This question is very personal, I've always liked Omega Rom)
What model do you have .
Samsung Galaxy Note (2012) Gt-N8013

Hi, WiFi isn't working because you probabily stay with a older bootloader but with 6.0. When you flashed the MM rom, your tablet at which version of android was? Maybe i think 4.4.x if WiFi doesn't start. You need to update the bootloader into marshmallow or try look on the thread where you found the rom if there are some modem updates. By the way, if you want to get the stock firmware and install it on your tab, first go in sammobile site and download the firmware ( pay attention to version 4g / without 4g ) and then put your device in download mode->connect to odin-> on "PDA" load the firmware you downloaded -> start -> wait 10/12 mimutes and you will have the tablet as you bought for the first time.
And check if the rom is right for your device( because when kernel is different if the device start it can have some issues like WiFi )
Hope i help you
If i helped you, remember to click the thanks button!
