Did you try to install another ROM,it might work out,there are many other ROMs with marshmallow,you should try that or if it doesn't work then use adb to flash a rom

Verizon devices with newer firmware than 4.3 and up have a locked bootloader, you can't flash TWRP or custom ROMs and you can't unlock the bootloader, you also can't downgrade to an older version with unlocked bootloader. You're stuck with locked bootloader, anything you try to get around it will only brick your device.
If you can get to download mode, flash your stock firmware in Odin.
If that doesn't work you may need to use an unbrick.img to boot from sdcard to fix the device.
Or you may need to send it in for a JTAG service.

Sorry about that, could you elaborate more on my options? What do you mean by flash my stock firmware in Odin (sorry if thats sounds stupid i dont know about this) And what unbrick.img?

You just said you flashed your device with Odin, why are you asking about how to flash your stock firmware, that's what you already did isn't it?
As for the unbrick.img, you need an unbrick.img pulled from a working device with your model number and your same stock android version (4.4.2), then there is a method for using that unbrick.img to boot from sdcard.
This information is here at XDA in the Verizon S3 forum if you take the time to look.
If you don't have sense enough to research your device model before you flash anything custom or if you don't know what you're doing and how to fix things when they go wrong then you should leave your device alone because flying by the seat of your pants and just assuming you can flash whatever you want is only going to cost you a lot of money in the end. You're lucky you didn't hard brick your device, that can't be fixed even by Samsung, if you had done your research you would know that. I suggest you stop where you are and start reading everything you can about the Verizon S3 i535 and what you can and can't do with it.

Installed New update, soft brick. Need an official signed rom

Anyone know of, or or have a link to a factory rom (hell any rom would do at this point) that I would be able to flash with the stock S3 recovery? Just trying to unbrick my phone. Story of what happened below:
I'm running stock 4.1.1 rooted touchwiz. I wake up this morning to a notification saying I had an update on my phone. Should have definitely waited but without thinking I went ahead and updated, which of course soft bricks? The phone. (boots up, and but hangs at the 4Glte, flash screen)normally this would be an easy fix, I could Odin back to stock or something but I'm down in Mississippi till Monday for training and do not have access to my pc.
I can access the factory recovery on the phone but that's it, have no clue where CWM is. I've tried flashing some backups but the factory recovery says that it's not a signed package or whatever. Anyone have any idea how I can get this sucker booted up and running using just an android tablet?
What about reflashing CWM so I can access my backups? Could I somehow flash CWM with factory recovery?:

first of all you can't flash anything on a stock recovery hence the need of a custom recovery. Second you don't accept the OTA when rooted as it can cause the exact issue that you have. Last there isn't a way to fix your problem via another android device that I know of.
U are going to need a pc and then u will need to download Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1165122&d=1340993443 and u can get the official software from here on XDA http://hotfile.com/dl/182822657/9f6...WBLK3_381038_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5.html this is the 4.1.1 software. Here is a link to some official pre rooted software http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436 all of these software's you can install though Odin just look up here on XDA on how to use Odin and you will be fine once your phone is up and running again then you will need to get you a custom recovery. Then you can access your backups.

He was asking if he can use an android tablet to fix his phone. He doesn't have access to PC at least until Monday it says so in his post. I wasn't even criticizing you at all. Unless he knows someone with a PC in Mississippi or someone here knows how to use one android device to flash something on another android device he sadly will have to wait until he gets home to fix his phone. You didn't do anything to be criticized for trying to help all I did was point out the info that you missed without personally attacking you making it a critique.

hey all, I've been reading , downloading etc for hours trying to get back into my GS3.. i was as usual roaming around and saw a post that said something to this effect "do ya need to get back to stock?" and figured yes i need to so i jumped in with both feet ..i had my boot loader unlocked and for some reason locked the darned thing remembering it was locked before i rooted and then i get the screen that says ie: "System software not authorized ~~~~~~~~~~~~" with a yellow triangle over it with an "!" mark in it..
all would have been ok except the line up of the way to do things was kinda outta line.. after i had locked bootloader "which is the way the GS3 came" i thought. at any rate i am now where i said i was and if i can be helped it would be appreciated.. and no repeated.. next time i'll read their whole line up first.. so help me if ya can and i am game right now for about anything ..

[q] please help. :[

So I have my HTC One S, I tried flashing a custom rom a while back and it just simply didn't work, i don't remember a lot of details this was a while ago but I've been doing a bunch of stuff recently to try and revert back to stock, I just want to use an RUU and go full 100% stock again, these are my getvar details in the picture.
So my question is, how the hell can I get this phone running again? Should I find my stock RUU or could someone walk me though how to possibly get back using a stock rom or something? Please note i have no access to anything, I can't even seem to access the phone storage via usb.
Also I attempted to use this RUU "RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_BM_2.40.666.1_Radio_1.09ts.50.02.04_10.08g.50.04L_release_280275_signed"
before posting here, not sure if this tells anybody something but I figured I'd post it, if anyone needs anymore information please ask me and I'll try to find whatever you need.
I can help. Maybe.

Bootloader unlocked?
Is there a recovery installed?
Custom kernel?
S4 or S3 processor
Custom rom installed or attempted to install

If you haven't updated to the latest stock rom through Verizon's updater software ("About Phone" -> "Software Update") then you should be good. If that is the case, you can download the stock odin .tar file that contains the phone's original firmware, and flash that with odin (plenty of guides in this forum). After that, you have the option of either keeping the phone stock or modifying it with root.
Edit: It seems to me that the bootloader wasn't unlocked; when you do return to stock, do remember to flash the unlocked bootloader!
Hope that helps

You can use odin to fix this issue and just update the firmware. If you want to root, don't update it past 4.1.2 and use s3 tool to root and the ez unlock to unlock the bootloader. Just follow the directions on the links.

Kyocera Brigadier screen black with back light.

I bought a new Brigadier off ebay. Phone is new and never used. The build date was July 2014 and KK 4.4.2. I should have paid more attention to the numbers. After the KK update my phone boots up but does not show anything after the Kyocera screen. It is black with the back light.
This is what I did. I put my SIM card in the phone to check that I can activate it. Then while I was testing out the phone. It downloaded the first update. I do not remember what the number is. The phone had never been used. It was new. I might be able to look it up for update history on big reds site. I did not do the do the update. After seeing it was done. I turned it off and put the SIM card backing the Turbo. After doing some research on rooting. I found that Kingroot (5.0.4) is best, then found this app I can use to remove Kingroot. Last night I was playing more with the phone and then rooted it too. I rebooted it, hotspot my turbo, downloaded root checker, confirmed root, then undated. Phone is at 80% life. Phone shut off and then I let it do its thing. When I came back, the screen is black with the back light on only. I can touch the screen and feel/hear the vibration. I can soft boot, hard boot, and reboot into stock recovery. I did a factory wipe after I read in how to boot stock recovery. Yes, did nothing. I do know that KK updates can kill your phone. My Droid HD maxx is dead. On that phone, the led light lights green up and the computer does make a sound when connected but does not show it. I have no idea if this has a rsd lite and file to flash. I did not change anything in the system at all. I did not think that Kingroot would mess with my phone if I did the ota. I would then buy this app and remove it. I was waiting for internet to be installed today to further mess with my phone before using it. I do not know how to pull info off my phone.
I know more about Motorola Droid phones. This is phone is new to me. I did do a lot of research out there and mainly on XDA. I have the option to return the phone for a full refund. I would like to see if I can fix the phone before hand. I have till this weekend to send it back.

The update you did was a stock update, correct?
You said the device was rooted and then you did the update, correct?
That's where you screwed up, you can't do stock updates on a rooted device, you have to remove root, have stock recovery and have an unmodified system partition before doing the update.
You should have done the update and THEN rooted the device.
Now just do a Google search for:
"How to unbrick (your model number)"

Yes and yes. Okay. I know with droids when I was bootloader locked and rooted. I was fine updating. There was a change on loosing root. It's all about learning. I will try to find out how to unblock my phone. Thank you for the response.
Have you came across the ota .IMG file?
I was able to power my phone off. I connected the phone to my computer, installed the software, and tried the repair part. Failed on downloading. Version on my phone is 1.102VZ.
I found more info on xda refuring to the http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=597313&st=3680 site. I am not able to do anything with my phone now. Cannot get it to boot in recovery or even have my pc see it. The verizon apk sees it where I can still try to repair or update. That is it. I am going to send it back for a full refund and be done with this phone. Cannot spend weeks trying to fix this right now. Thanks all for the help.
Update. I got my phone into Fastboot. I was able to get phone into twrp recovery. How ever, I am not able to find a img I can flash to my phone then I will be able to use my phone. Ones I have found are twrp back ups that I have no clue how to flash. I downloaded Rom_5.1.1_3153LR_Modem_3153LR_E6782 and I hope to see if I can flash it or not in twrp. I still do not understand Android_SDK and how to use it. I am not sure if I can use twrp recovery from the Kyocera Brigadier E6782 Toolkit v1.2 I downloaded from the http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=597313&st=620#entry35662165 or not. All I am doing now is trying and seeing what happens. If anyone knows more please share.
I was able to flash the Rom_5.1.1_3153LR_Modem_3153LR_E6782 and my phone booted up and went into the optimizing but it is in Russian. I am further than I was. Need to find out if this is changeable to English and it all works. Yes, I do know that I will not flash anything than 5.0 now since the bootloader is locked or it can be unlocked with a code. Phone is up and running. I need a 5.1.1 US now.
It is not in Russian. It is in vietnamese. But I still need a clean 5.0 full rom.

You can use the TWRP backups by choosing the restore option in TWRP then selecting the backup file and it will restore the data in the file to your device.

I will try that. I have to get it into fastboot and that can take a few tries. The firmware I have on it has no verizon apps. It is a mod by someone. I am going to try original firmware 5.1.1 firmware. Downloading right now. it is a .rar file. Making head way witch is good. I am learning for sure.
I got into fastboot mode. I tried to go into twrp using the Kyocera Brigadier E6782 Toolkit v1.2 as I did before. Now, I am stuck at the Android screen and it will not go into twrp. Ahh.

That's because of your now locked bootloader, can't use TWRP with locked bootloader.
It's a little late now, you need to slow down, if you had done some searching to see how to use TWRP backups(the information is literally everywhere in every device forum here, it works the same for all devices), you would have been able to restore one of those backups, you'd have the device fixed and you wouldn't have a locked bootloader, that bootloader limits your options now, it leaves you only the option of finding the correct stock firmware.

I never knew it was unlock. On the Android screen it had a 1 at the top left corner and it is still there. I am trying to find the correct firmware and flash it. I am able to see my phone in the adb file I used to flash twrp on my Droids. I have done a lot of research and and the 4pda.ru site. I am sent a lot of pms out to XDA memebers and got nothing back. I have posted a lot and hope someone would replay. I am trying trust me. I flash the wrong one. If I brink the phone, O well. All I can say is I am not trying to give up. Not sure if I can flash a rom or a twrp back up in adb or not. I would like to sit and read up on all of this. Then I could have a better understanding and then may play more.
How can flashing the Rom_5.1.1_3153LR_Modem_3153LR_E6782 even lock the bootloader? Eventhing I read talked about it being locked. It says in the box, Failed (remote: bootimage: incomplete or not signed) when I try to boot it into twrp.

How can flashing the Rom_5.1.1_3153LR_Modem_3153LR_E6782 even lock the bootloader? Eventhing I read talked about it being locked. It says in the box, Failed (remote: bootimage: incomplete or not signed) when I try to boot it into twrp.

It locks the bootloader because when you flash the Firmware it upgrades to a different bootloader, one that is locked, it's coded into the firmware, it is intended to verify software signatures at boot, if the signature isn't what it's looking for it won't allow the software to load. Your TWRP, for example won't boot because it doesn't have the right signature, only your stock firmware has the right signature and there isn't a way to fake it. Your only chance of using TWRP is if your bootloader can be unlocked, not all bootloaders can be unlocked. It's a security measure installed by the manufacturer or your carrier to prevent flashing and modding the device, it's pretty effective and has become very common on a lot of devices since KitKat. It was implemented because they got tired of replacing devices due to the user modifying them and screwing them up, modified devices technically void the warranty but if screwed up enough they can't tell it has been modified, thus, they've been replacing devices that they weren't obligated to replace, they know this and are trying to put a stop to it.

I messed up a great phone I was looking forward of using. I thought I had it all lined up. I read a lot and thought I understood things. Can it befixed? By Kyocera only I say. I wanted on 5.0 is while I flashed that rom. I did not know it was a custom one. I truly feel bad that I messed up a great phone. I am going to stick with Motorola Droids and HTC for me wife. I am up very late trying to figure this all out. I am going to stick with things I know even though I love a challenge and learning. Thank you for the help, yes, I should have slowed down but everything was going great. Live and learn.

When some, lose some.
For future reference, when you want to update or modify a device, try doing some research into what NOT to do or what can go wrong with that particular device and how to fix it if it does BEFORE you focus on what CAN be done on that device and before you actually do anything to the device. Cover the bases, ask questions, search for issues others might have had when they modified their device.
Remember, just because something is available for that device, doesn't mean you can use it. Things change from android version to android version and this stock firmware to that stock firmware for a device, such as whether the bootloader is locked or unlocked, among other possible differences that can turn things into a train wreck.
Android devices are all different and are not all done the same. What and how it is done on "this" device is not the same on "that" device.

Please Help Me😭

I was trying to root my phone but i failed, doing so many wrong steps,now my samsung a7 is bricked, i cant charge it and i cant power it on, i also tried connecting it to a pc but the pc cant recognize it, any advice please to fix this? I really dont know what should i do now, thank you so much guys.
Can you talk us through the steps you did.
Is usb debugging enabled?
You may be able to use the samsung flashing software to recover but if you missed 1 or maybe 2 steps and have now wiped the device fully then you need to RMA. No os then no proof of your actions for a warranty claim to be rejected
enter download mode and flash firmware from Odin3

Im really sorry but i was actually not hard bricked, i thought i was hard bricked and i eventually got it turned on, so here is the whole story, i was about to root my phone and i watched a tutorial on how to but for some reason i trusted myself and didnt watch the video so i got into this situation, i enable USB debugging and OEM unlock( it deletes all of my files like a factory reset) i didnt know that i have to paste the magisk and the magisk apk to my phone and i flashed the bootloader thing from the tutorial i watched and then after that i decided to watch the tutorial and to my surprise the tutorial paste the magisk, so i panicked, i dont know what to do and i thought i was stucked at the downloading process so i decided to search more while panicking and i found that tenoshare Reiboot and Ult has this feature that will exit you to the downloading and now i tried them both but it failed, and i panicked more because now my phone just wont stop bootlooping so i just decided to drain its battery because its built in, i also tried flashing twrp but it cause me more panicking because it kind of glitches more so good thing i tried to go to downloading again by connecting to a pc and it worked, and the good thing is that the file i downloaded has a recovery flashable thing so i flashed it again, i escaped the teamwin bootloop and now i tried researching more causing me to figure it and i think i need to download the firmware again, but here is my biggest problem, i dont know the original place of the phone(i only know the country because its like a phone given only to me) i also dont know what is the original patch security of my phone( idk if its safe to just download the latest of the firmware) thank you for any advice

All you need is the correct firmware for your specific model number for your specific region/carrier and the firmware must have a binary that is equal to or higher than the binary of your currently installed firmware. The binary is indicated by the 5th character from the right in the firmware build number. Find that character in the build number of your currently installed firmware and compare it to the same character in the build number of the firmware that you want to flash. If the binary of the firmware that you want to flash is equal to or higher than the binary of your currently installed firmware then you can safely flash it, if the binary is lower than the binary of your currently installed firmware, you will not be able to flash the firmware that has a lower binary.

Hi, i just wanna know if i want to root my phone, is it important to unlock bootloader? And if yes, how should i do it in a samsung a7? Thanks!
Hi, i was planning to root my samsung a7 but i have a question that i dont know the answer, if OEM Unlock is enabled, USB debugging is also already enabled, why my OEM unlocked says bootloader is already unlocked even thought its still blue and not gray? Do i need to void my warranty and make OEM unlock colored gray or is blue enough? Thanks for all advice
