Hello,

Need some help here... I am a newbie... I had rooted my phone to unlock and use data while traveling in Europe with the below instructions... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2046439 .... worked great!

I installed VRBLK3 (last update) before I received the VRBMF1 OTA update last night which automatically updated my phone. I am faced with error saying Unauthorized Software on phone, goto Verizon.

I am unable to boot into Odin Recovery Mode, but I can boot into Odin mode. I am unable to perform any steps to flash my phone again and then load the latest update manually via Odin.

What am I missing here? Thoughts? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jason

Your bootloader wasn't unlocked correctly and the update sure did mess up it up as it updated while you are rooted.

You can odin it just takes time as soon pull out the battery as soon as you out it in hold power, volume up and home. You should get into odin so you can flash a stock image.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] airtrons:
I have the same problem. I haven't run the update, but it has downloaded. Either with buttons or through rommanager, I can't get into recovery mode (I have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed) . I keep deferring the update.

What are the steps to flash a stock image?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
Use the ODIN program and then download the stock image from rootzwiki (or here at XDA if its posted)

Plug your phone into the USB port of a computer and then run the ODIN program. Then post the entire .tar package in the PDA section after your phone gets recognized (you'll need to boot into download mode, which is volume down+power+home).

Read the guide over at XDA for a better explanation. Here's the URL.

I can get into Odin Download Mode, but I can't get into Odin Recovery (it gives me error in upper left corner ... SECURE FAIL: KERNEL).

When I get into Odin Download Mode and I hook it up to my laptop, it doesn't recognize the device even though I have the drivers loaded on my laptop.

Thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Surge1223:
It should still work. Check the USB drivers in device manager.

Similar Problem

OK, so I've just been deferring the update. Just wanted to know if there is a way to get the update without having to unroot my phone first. I'd really rather not run through the motions of doing the whole unroot-reroot process but this update is bugging me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skbgiants:
I was rooted (stock), took the OTA (a no no but did it anyway) this locked the bootloader and i lost root.

I used this one click to unlock bootloader, gain root AND install TWRP custom recovery and it worked FLAWLESSLY!

I believe I just got soft bricked with this method. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
what? how is that possible? what were the steps you took? where did things go wrong?

if you can get into odin you should be ok. just flash the stock image and use the one-click method. but be careful i am reading about the one click casual method causing hard bricks on some devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iamme216:
I followed everything. started the update, it reset and i got a "system software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest verizon wireless store for help." About to go in and odin now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
sorry about that bro. that process worked for me and a buddy of mine flawlessly. are you able to get into odin mode?

I deleted that post. I really still don't understand what went wrong. I have used these apps successfully MANY times in the past.

let me know how it all works out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iamme216:
Just went all the way back to stock. Had to erase everything. Luckily I have most of my stuff on my SD card and my TiBu backup so not all is lost. Sucks I ended up having to do what I didn't want just for an update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RipRip:
That's interesting. The same exact thing happened to me. I was rooted, running stock, accepted the ota, lost root but it left the bootloader unlocked.And then the next time I powered up my phone I saw Verizon had given me an unlocked icon and it says custom under it. I originally rooted my phone using that one click casual so now I'm really not sure if I should use it to root again. Any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
If you want root, then root. Preexisting root tools still work on the latest VRBMF1 ota. You can check if you're still rooted by downloading Root Checker from the store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skbgiants:
Seriously use this tool. Works great!

Create a text archive called, for example, 91userinit (with nothing at the end, not .txt only 91userinit). Paste it in /system/etc/init.d and set the permissions in the screenshot.

Reboot. If not works, download NStools and, in settings, tick on use init.d scripts. It shoild work after reboot then.

You can do also flashing KKernel r2. I'm using it and it's so good if you make a good liveOC ;). I hope I'm useful foe you!!

if you can enter 4ext recovery, then connect phone to computer through usb

and from 4ext recovery choose toggle usb storage option

then you can put a new rom in sd card and flash through 4ext recovery....that should work

hope that helps. :)

Hey there, just a heads up I have been flashing many roms on my Sensation. But last night, when I flashed Insert Coin I got a White HTC screen in booting and it got stuck there!

I can get to recovery by removing battery, putting it back on and pressing volume down and power button. I have a 4ext recovery, smartflash enabled, un-rooted (obviously), S-on, H Boot version - 1.27.0000 and my Sensation model is z710e.

I tried flashing other roms like ARHD 7.2, Viper e.tc but it gets stuck at the white screen!

What to do now? How to solve it?

I tried to install drivers through HTC sync but it wont connect to my phone as I'm stuck in bootloader. This means that I can't install the "boot.img" to open command window there to further follow through the instructions.

In this case, what do I do?

★★UPDATE 09/25/2013★★

Samsung releases two new premium colors!!

Samsung officially announced the S4 will come in new colors: Blue Arctic, Purple Mirage, Red Aurora, Brown Autumn, Pink Twilight, Gold Brown & Gold Pink. Red Aurora (16GB) is already being offered at AT&T for $199.9 w/ a two-year contract. Asia will most likely receive the new colors first, then Europe & then (hopefully) us in the U.S, but probably not until late 2013. Will keep everyone updated when more info is released. Looks like I'll be putting my white one up for sale, if we get these :fingers-crossed:

Update

Arctic Blue is now available in the UK with the following companies: Vodafone, EE, T-Mobile and Orange. Other countries & companies not confirmed, yet.

Purple Mirage (Sprint Exclusive)- Coming to the U.S. this fall. "Just in time for school"

Red Aurora (AT&T Exclusive): Now available.

Brown Autumn (Verizon Exclusive): Now available.

Pink Twilight released in Taiwan. Other countries not confirmed, yet.

Do u have any post?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] oscarthegrouch:
Spending hundreds of dollars to get a different colored phone that you already own? If you have the money to throw away, then go for it. In this day and age, that doesn't sound very practical. You will have to pay full price for the phone. Even if you successfully sell the white one, you're going to have to pay hundreds out of pocket to change phones. All the more power to ya if you do I guess. Good luck getting a refurb if something breaks on the colored one. If they can even get a replacement, it'll take weeks to get another if it isn't a popular color. With my e4gt, black could be gotten in a week. White took at least twice as long. Knowing sprint, it wouldn't be financially smart to offer a bunch of colors. You'd most likely have to order it online because the stores wouldn't carry it because it's not a high demand item.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ifly4vamerica:
Good news will be getting one of these for the other half, she is a pink freak. Well worth the money IMO. Might be hard to replace but she can always use her white one if she needs to. Of course something better may be out by then also so who knows.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] P1NK13P13:
Agree to disagree. I'm not worried about it as much as you are. The phone just came out & people are willing to buy mine. With that being said, I won't be spending as much as you think I would be. Hundreds out of the pocket to change phones? Are you dealing with some blackmarket "Sprint" dealer from Detroit? My Sprint doesn't charge to switch phones or port numbers. It really comes down to IF Sprint will even have the color I want. I can see them definitely stocking purple, but I highly doubt they will offer the other colors. In this day & age, people jump the gun every time a new iPhone or Android comes out for whatever their reasoning may be. I will be getting a new S4 based on the color. I'm a girl. It's what I do. Everything is online lol. I preordered my current S4 online :p

Exactly, not a big deal. I'm a pink freak, too lol. Everyday there's a new, bigger & better thing out. I'm stuck in this contract for two years & I'm going to get a phone I'll be happy with for two years, even if that means spending a little more for happiness.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
It won't cost her a dime probably. Maybe tax would be the main difference in price. You can sell these phones for retail used.

Plus if she gets a pink one and had to have it replaced and they don't have any refurbished then she just gets a brand new one. They can't make you wait. I've gotten brand new ones many times when they don't have refurbs.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] oscarthegrouch:
What is this phone full price, 650? With contract renewal or new line, maybe 250 or less if you can find it on sale. I got mine for 199. Let's say you used your upgrade on the one you have now. As far as I know, if you want another phone, you have to pay full price. There's the option of upgrade now. I forgot about that one. Say you got your phone a couple of months ago, you have 22 months left until you can upgrade without paying additional fees. I have no idea what the upgrade now cost would be. I'd be surprised if someone could get 300 for a used s4 in working order with clean ESN.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
300? Lol try 600 easy. I know our my buddy who is the manager at my local Verizon store got 600 for his in less than a day.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crucial_leo:
Here's some shots I took when Samsung was holding an event, I was told by the Samsung people that Sprint should get the purple s4 mid July so I guess we will wait and see.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] P1NK13P13:
I only paid $150 for mine new. No matter what, I'm making a profit so I will barely make a dent in my purse to pay for the pink one lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ifly4vamerica:
Besides 600 bucks isn't that much to keep the other half happy. Then we sell her old one for let's say even 400 bucks. That makes it 200 bucks out of the pocket. She spends more than that on a pair of shoes she wears twice. I call the phone a bargain. Nothing wrong with paying good money for something you will enjoy. Its all about what it is worth to the person buying it.

colors options are always cool, i like my white one just fine tho...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eskomo:
I hear you on the shoes thing. Shoes and clothes. My girl can easily spend 600-700 on clothes at the Buckle every few weeks. Most of it she only wears once and never again, either given away to her friends(if they are small enough) or pushed to the back of one of her closets.

No matter what you get for the phone its still going to off set the cost of a new one pretty much. Do what makes you happy and ignore what others think. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] oscarthegrouch:
I wonder what the Sprint buy back value is for a s4? Purple looks cool but I can't see myself going more into debt just to change a color. Right now I'm working full time, still broke most of the time, and car in desperate need of multiple repairs. FML.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sweets55:
Buy back is a joke sell the phone you'll get probably at least 400.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] P1NK13P13:
Don't do the buy back. Like he said above, it's a flat out joke. Craigslist is an easy $400+ for our phones. It's best to sell it on Craigslist, Amazon, Ebay or Swappa.

Every iPhone user who gets their hands on a S4 ends up wanting one.

Sprint stores everywhere have these already BTW. Not sure where you read that they wouldn't be coming till this fall at. Sprint always gets phones fast. And it will be much faster from here on out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CCallahan:
Just talked to the same Sprint store to re-verify what they told me yesterday when I was in the store. They do have them in stock and ready to sell right now (yes the S4, not the S3). Pic or no pic doesn't change the fact that it has been verified at least 3 times now by different stores. Your choice to believe it or not but doesn't justify you calling us liars (my pet peeve). Seems a very silly thing to get worked up about so I'm out. :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] P1NK13P13:
Nobody is getting worked up over this. It could be as simple as a misunderstanding. However, I'm not calling anyone a liar. If you have something to stand for, do it with legitimate proof. Otherwise, you will get a backlash. Hello duh, internets. I did reread Sprint statement & it was released on the 13'th, however it won't become available through their website until tomorrow.
