You are in the right place. This root method is very detailed for beginners. Feel free to use either method though. As far as flashing ROMs I'd have to tell you to read the thread and make sure it's built and compatible with your d2vzw/I535 Verizon SGS3. This phone has a locked bootloader from the factory, rooting will allow you to unlock the bootloader so you can load custom recovery and ROMs. Enjoy and welcome back to Android!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] furrelkt:
Thank you and Q

Thanks!! Glad to be back. AND Thank you for your reply!! 1 Q though - I see D2VZW like " d2vzw/I535 Verizon SGS3" and I can't find that referenced anywhere on my original box or in the phone... what does that mean? Sorry for the n00b Q.. it's been a while ... hahaha

Edit: I am guessing ... as long as the ROM that i want has I535 in it.. ie. I535VRBLK1.. does it matter about VRBLK1??

I am confused on these models please...

FurRelKT
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eMpTy43:
D2VZW is another model name for the VZW SGS3, don't know where it comes from but it's in the build.prop file (which is a lot of phone specifics)

The VRBLK1 is that particular build, you are correct as well... for the most part if I535 is in the file name it SHOULD be ok. Just read each thread, most OPs make it very clear which model their mod or rom is for.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rword69:
Does this work with the latest 4.1.1 update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BigErnM:
No. You'll have to use on the available guides for rooting the JB OTA update. See here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2046439 and here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762709.

does this thread need to be locked now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Nope because the information is relevant AND it states which builds that it works for in the OP. It just so happens that this does not work for JB is all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
im not saying this should be locked but there is way too many guides floating around...all its doing is confusing people. why on gods earth would anybody want to flash bootchains and all that mess to root jelly bean when you can simply place rooted k3 by mrRobinson in the pda function of odin and be done...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eMpTy43:
Some folks just like a rooted stock ROM. Not everyone has the same preferences and this guide serves those who just want to root a stock ROM. I'll update the OP if things for this method are updated to work with the JB OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
I understand that and I think your guide is great...however this method no longer works for jelly bean. The easiest method is to use Mr.Robinsons Root66_VRBLK3 odin image. You can flash a no wipe or full wipe version in the pda slot of odin, within 8min your booted up into official rooted stock 4.1.1 jelly bean. This was the first method to obtain root for the gs3 and is easier...any method released since has just caused confusion.

flash root66 in odin and be done...rootdebug exploit does not work on jellybean. you would have to flash back to ics firmware then root. which makes no sense because root66 is all in one.

So I was just about to change wallpapers and noticed a "download wallpapers" button within the wallpaper menu under display settings. When clicked it loads some BS website: http://activefun.telstra.com.

Anybody know how I may have gotten this adware/bloatware crap? I must assume its not from synergy but I was having keyword issues using Google and couldn't find a good answer. I guess Telstra is/was a cell phone/software maker.

A tad off topic but there are some very bright minds here. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PetRiLJoe:
I noticed it on the last Synergy I flashed just before R420..i think it was R373 before I went R420. I I think I remember the developer listing the wallpaper link removal in the post with the update and download link for R420.

I thought it was something he added from another carrier that anyone could use by never checked it out as a service.

It shouldn't be there in the latest revision of Synergy. But either way is there a problem? Hope that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voxigenboy:
the initial root "RootDebugfs.bat" has been running for nearly 30 min now. looks like it keeps trying to do stuff but is constantly doing that 'adb server didn't ack - failed to start daemon". regardless though, it does seem to continue on to the next step.

just wondering if the 15 min thing was accurate or not and if it's supposed to do this.

[EDIT] and nothing... it finally got to a point asking "uid and gid should both be 0. Are they? <y/n>: , yet the phone is still sitting there at the main screen.

and just to verify, all the steps were followed correctly. i am on windows 7 64-bit(heard there might be an issue with adb and this os)

Out of date...

This thread is extremely outdated as it covers the ICS ROM. Jelly Bean 4.2.2 is the current ROM for the SGS3. I'd recommend looking into CM10.1.2 at your own risk (read and learn before you mess around). Aside from that you could try Scott's ROM or searching around for a Verizon SGS3 Jelly Bean WiFi Notification fix

Either of the first 2 look nicest. But I would personally recommend the Trident Aegis case. Its dual layered, incredibly strong and it won't ever fall off your phone. Comes in many colours, including straight black if you want it to match your suit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hypertek:
Can't go wrong with neutral colors - black , white , gray etc. I dont think anyone will care about your phone, it could add a bit of personality to yourself, like a tie. As long as you don't have some little kiddie case lol

As the title says. I would like to scale auto brightness so it isn't so bright when using the phone in the dark. I was using an app but you have to turn it on for every reboot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] davtse:
I have exactly the same problem, but lux autobrightness solves that for me. only problem is that if u want it to auto start, u have to enable it to be in persistent mode, which leaves an icon in your status bar. other than that, i am very pleased with the way it works,
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattfox27:
Ya auto lux from the market works the best, i was very skeptical about an app from the market to control brightness but it really works good, the factory auto setup is TERRIBLE.

Try AutoLux it works very good.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavenparticle:
I have installed the XenonHD few weeks ago so i am not using the most updated version.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1667442

today when i am using the phone as normal, it suddenly rebooted.

when it is started, it didnt show any launcher screen or wallpaper but it required me a password to start up the phone.

It shows " Type password to decrypt storage".

As i remember there is a button for activating the encrypt storage function in the system setting/ rom setting.

I am 100% sure that i didnt press it. This function is activated somehow after the sudden reboot......

Is there a way to get the password or extract the data from the phone before i flashing a new rom.....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billchen0014:
maybe you should try wiping dalvik cache, or just randomly try to unlock, eventually it should ask you what your google account is, and you should be able to unlock. or else you have to do this: make a nandroid backup, then, flash a new rom, use titanium backup to extract the apps and their data from the nandroid. hope this helps.

MMS problem on ICS

I had the same problem after updating to ICS. The solution which I accidentally found was to go to:

Setting > More > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > click on the left soft button and select Reset to default. That's it!

I noticed on a friend's SIII that while looking on his APN there was only one bullet shown by the first APN. On mine there was one bullet on the side of every APN. When I hit Reset to default, these bullets dissapeared and only one was left.
[HTC Inspire 4G] aybarrap1:
Please forgive me if this has been asked but I have looked extensively but have not found a definitive answer (maybe I overlooked something or just did not quite comprehend). I know attn1 warned against downgrading DHD/Inspire 4G if it came shipped with GB (for using AAHK). However, when I got my Inspire 4G it originally had Froyo and was updated to GB via RUU from HTC website. My phone is currently rooted and S-Off which I did after the HTC update to GB. Can I run a HTC Froyo RUU safely and do I need to downgrade HBOOT first then flash? If it is possible, where can I get the stock RUU for the Inspire 4G with the H+ update? I have not found anything on the HTC website and what I have found elsewhere was for the DHD. Once again, if this has been answered I apologize in advance and would only ask for a point in the right direction (obviously Google only got me so far).
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
There is no ruu for that version. Just the original froyo ruu. The first update was just a small OTA. You are safe to downgrade though and don't need to change your hboot. It's only gb shipped phones that will have issues. If you want froyo with the ota you will have to do some heavy searching.
[HTC Inspire 4G] aybarrap1:
Thank you.

Thanks for the information. I was not sure if I was interpreting what I was reading correctly or not regarding downgrading. I figured finding the OTA update would be a big issue. Perhaps I will forestall downgrading after all since I was counting on data speed to some extent. I was actually planning to test something with froyo and it is the only reason why I was entertaining this whole idea at all.

Here’s the bamboo case I purchased on Etsy. I had to sand the base down a little for it to work with my Philips speaker docks, but other than that it's perfect.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Classick206:
What's with the hate on wooden cases? Unless someone can provide proof or situations where wooden cases have caused some sort of excessive overheating/burning... there's no reason it's a stupid idea. I have seen MUCH more ridiculous cases posted by people on this website. Tacky colors, cheap materials, hideous design concepts... how are those any less stupid than a wooden case? People pay thousands of dollars to have wood floors installed in their homes yet in order to improve its look yet it's a stupid idea to pay $40 for a case? Grow up kids.

Could you please provide a link to it or maybe provide a brand name? I'm not familiar with Etsy at all. A quick search on the site only found me a clip on back case similar to that one. Yours looks like its a slider and provides much more protection. It looks great and I'd definitely buy it if it's still available on etsy.

I also found some on eBay but I really hate buying from there especially when it comes from overseas since I almost got ripped off for an "OEM" Samsung Flip cover once before.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Markeee:
o

ok
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
about the only cases that can't break when dropped are the rubber/silicon ones.

ANY other case "CAN" break when dropped but it will still do its job of protecting your phone.

except for rubber cases I treat cases like helmets. one time use. a good hard impact means replace the case. period. if its structure if compromised you might not find out till the next time you drop it.

Attached is two cases I bought (of many I have on the way) the MOMENT I saw the bamboo case it was a no brainer I had to have it.

THEY ALSO have bamboo cases of the "pop on" variety lot thinner less large etc..) but I want the full wrap type.

I LIKE bright colorful and exotic. I am the one with orange and blue cases on my phones :)

the stitch case is a no brainer non optional HAD to have it.

I LOVE exotic cases. and wood is just cool. $22 for the wooden one (their were cheaper but I preferred this design) $11 for stitch.

if I end up liking the bamboo case I am going to order a "plain" one and get something custom lasered onto the back.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] elementaldragon:
Aluminum/Metal cases also generally have one major drawback that you would probably not have with a material such as wood or silicon/TPU cases..... that being signal degradation. Plus, if you ask me, just about any wooden case looks a lot better than most metal cases... ESPECIALLY the cheapy eBay ones. That one aluminum bumper that is in another thread that costs like $90.... THAT is a nice metal case. But then again.... it doesn't protect the back of the phone much.

The case itself looks great, and feels very solid, much more than I expected. I'm not convinced on the color combination though. I thought I'd like it better. My s3 is white, maybe other colors would look better.
