Noob Verizon GS3 question

In the past i have rooted other phones without wiping the phone, however, from looking at the root methods for the Verizon GS3 It looks as though you have to flash a rom in the process of rooting it. Is it possible to root the Verizon GS3 without wiping data?

So If i flash the stock rooted rom using this method once the phone turns back on i will not notice anything has changed other than it now having root?

Yep, that's how it was for me. I was worried I would lose my data too, but I was pleasently surprised.

Since your not changing roms to a custom one but instead going stock to stock modded, you can dirty flash and you will be fine.
A dirty flash you don't loose your data.

Using the "Root66" method in the Verizon Development forum does not require a wiping of user/application data.

Not the first screen shot of Verizon saying they will unlock the bootloader, and this is one of a few places I can post.

Your phone is most likely fine, you just don't have the patience to fix it yourself.

You're in the Verizon s3 forum, ask this question in the i9300 forum, the phones are completely different.

And you manually Odin to 4.1.2 with full firmware?? It's not possible to downgrade...Anyway, try to Odin again with PIT file and full factory firmware. Also make a backup of the IMEI folder before you do it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117
If still not working you need to replace your SIM card(free from your provider) and call your provider to reprovision the card, just like when you first brought the phone.

Grrr HANGOUTS!!!!! MMS Issues

Before the new 2.1 update they were jus black boxes.
And the only fix ive been able to find is going into Recovery (TWRP) and clearing the cache.
When i do then i get this.
I had this issue on a Rooted version of the Stock ROM. Then i tried Beanstalk and had the same problem. Now im on this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-stock-goodies-nexus-5v-1-t2596173
Not sure what the name of it is buts a Stock version. And as you can see I still have the same problem.
AHHHHHH Its driving me crazy because everytime i reboot I have this issue and then have to boot into recovery and clear the cache.
Going into Apps and clearing the cache and data of the app does not work either.
I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it samething.
I tried using a different messaging app. Same thing.
I looked at the APNs and there are like 8 of them for messaging (AT&T)
The default is the 1st one. I changed it to the 2nd to last one and had the same problem. And it keeps going to the 1st one when i clear the cache.
Please HELP!!!!!!! Its driving me nuts!!!!!!!

Try to flash stock factory images then.

Check and see if your imei is showing 0's. If it is your screwed unless you have an efs backup
