So I'm not sure what went wrong or where but with in the last couple of days, I rebooted my phone and in loaded into odin with "could not boot normally." I could get passed this is using odin to flash some rooted images but no matter what I try, I can not get the bootloader unlocked. I can get root, recovery, and custom roms. However, every method I have tried won't unlock the bootloader and every reboot after a flash other than a stock rooted image will reboot into odin with the "could not boot normaly."
All help is appreciated.

You have to an unlocked bootloader to get recovery installed. So if you can reboot into a custom recovery then you have an unlocked bootloader

True, but my Qualcomm Secureboot is always Enabled. And when I flash a rom and reboot during the rom, it goes to Odin saying could not boot normally.
I did try Hero's softbrick method and I got the same results. It's like the unsecured aboot doesn't stick. Do I need a to facepalm myself somewhere? I'm seriously lost.

Ignore that Secureboot enabled message. It will always say that no matter what. It's been discussed that its a bug. Hang on and I'll link u to method of unlocking and rooting works no matter what. Doesn't rely on unsecure aboot images either
This works everytime. I recommend flashing the stock Image AND STOCK BOOTCHAIN or recovery won't install. Those are listed at the bottom of the tutorial. If you are on stock just install the stock bootchain

Alright, thank you. Hopefully this hold because getting stuck in odin is beginning to get annoying as well as being on a stock rom the last few days.
I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.
I've recently flashed the modified ML1 modem from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788313 and tried both using 4.3 Wicked Sensations and 4.3 MOAR. Phone was working great with either one until just normally restarting the phone, it would get stuck on the Samsung Galaxy SIII logo. My temporary fix was to go back into TWRP, wipe everything, and just reflash either rom but once in a while my phone would randomly lock up and I'd have to restart the phone to run into the same problem.
So I tried using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 this guide to maybe fix the problem but ODIN keeps failing when flashing the vzw.root_66.tar. I've used this once before and it worked, but this was over a year ago. Do I need to do something differently because I've technically updated my phone?
Now I'm in a situation where powering on the phone, it gives the unauthorized by verizon wireless msg even when holding the vol up and home keys but I am still able to access download mode.
Thanks!

This should fix it:

Then just be careful not to let it update, root with casual, install ez unlock version 1.2, and install a custom rom promptly.

I had a similar issue caused by trying to flash a bad rom. I tried to do an odin flash of the VRALEC file and it succeeded but the flash of the root66 failed due to a bad cable. Now i'm getting the unauthorized message. I downloaded the firmware from the link but I'm curious what the steps are for flashing it. Do I need to flash something else first or can I just pop that file in to ODIN and flash it and be back up again?

Not sure without actually seeing the code, your card may be mounted as a read only type and it prevents any kind of writing to it. Hero wrote a guide for that problem, it's on the old roll up thread.

Sweet I got it. It was actually as simple as just disconnecting the USB cable and pulling the battery. After that I turned the phone back on, entered download mode and it flashed perfect. Thanks for all your help.
I ran the causal root applet on a new SG3 on 4.1.2. Ran root, the unlock script and installed TWRP. Booted into recovery and I got the error for a locked bootloader. I used download mode to get back to the stock rom and then used E-Z unlock to unlock the bootloader. Was able to boot into recovery this time but TWRP read internal and external memory as 0mb, unable to make a backup, and gave a no OS error when went to reboot. I updated TWRP with TWRP manager but the problems are still persistent. Phone boots fine and reboots fine at the moment.
I'm not sure what to do now though. I'm at the point were I don't care if I get stuck with the OTA update but I'm afraid that will brick the phone. I'm not sure what went wrong with TWRP, since this is the second S3 I've rooted.
Any sugestions? I'm afraid to use odin or try anything else since the phone currently works fine. But I'd prefer to not have to sleep in fear it might force the OTA update while I'm asleep and wake up to a bricked phone.
I tried searching, the best I could find is that newer versions of TWRP can't read the memory on a 4.1.2 rom, but the problems were there when I originally started with the recommended version.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.
Try to use cwm or philz and see if you have the same issue.

Can you install a different custom recovery over one using the causal applet? I was planning on trying to reinstall TWRP but I wasn't sure if I had to do it a certain way like through odin or Using the unified tool kit?
Thanks for the help so far!

No.
Download latest philz touch recovery d2lte zip, then flash it in recovery, then reboot recovery.
Then check and see if you're getting a similar error message.

OK.
Then download the Odin version and flash through that. Then boot the phone into recovery.
Or download ez recovery, and the latest cwm image file, and flash through that from your rom.

I tried CWM and the stock recovery through EZ, both gave the same error as TWRP, unable to mount /
I'm really confused as to whats wrong. At this point I don't care if I get stuck with the OTA 4.3, but I don't want to try to update it with the recovery still not reading either my SD cards.
Any Ideas?
Are you sure of your phone model? I believe it puts it on the screen in download mode and also on a sticker under the battery. I'm mostly curious because you mention that this is a new phone with 4.1.2. Are you trying older versions of cwm as well?

I'm pretty sure, has all the verizon bloat and logos, also I'm pretty sure the causal applet bricks the international ones. I don't remember the version of twrp that the causal script flashed, but I tried that one, the most recent one, and 2.5 i think from EZ recovery. The stock recovery from EZ has the same issue now though which is what really confuses me. at the moment I have root dissabled and the bootloader is locked and its back with the stock recovery, it still says custom when i reboot the phone though.
Few days ago tried to update my galaxy to 5.1.1. from 5.0.2, just succesfully. Than i installed TWRP and Wicked firmware and from SuperSu downloaded binary for root and restated my phone. It was a last moment i have seen it booted. After that i tried so many times to flash every firmware(original for sprint) in the XDA and Odin failed. Recovery doesnt work and phone doesnt boot at all, Just download mode. Have i any chance to ressurect it?
thats what he saying while trying to boot: Kernel is not seandroid enforcing custom binary locked by FRP lock(this is what blocking flashing)

My mom's phone, after what I guess it was trying to install the latest OS seems to be unable to stop restarting.
It's not a full boot loop because it goes back to the phone set-up (1st attempt to get back to working is hitting factory reset in recovery) since I knew for a fact that wiping the partition leads to the phone being lost., but after some time, it goes to back the bootup screen.
It also something, right after the dimming the lights on the T-mobile sign will go blank and says that the time and date are being auto set.
