No matter what the mod... my phones reception is bad so it is going to be exchanged. First Verizon wants me to try 4.0.4 IMM76K... not to mention I need to send it back stock anyway.
I have searched a lot of threads and decided maybe we need to have one for just that?
Can someone reply or even start your own thread instructing us mere mortals on how to get it back to normal for an exchange?
I "think" I have a backup of my stock phone from when I rooted it but even if I don't... how do I make it completely stock again?
Thanks in advance!!!

I am a Mac user. I was having issues with my Gnex and I need to complete revert back to stock because no matter how many times I wiped, my phone would continue to use the last rom I installed. Even wiping and flashing a new rom over top of it, I would still have all my pervious apps installed and I would get a ton of force closes. Gapps wouldn't work properly either. I found this on YouTube and it is not my work but I give credit to this guy because he is a live saver http://youtu.be/RaFKppw5SME Works with both Verizon and Sprint Galaxy Nexus devices.

There is mskip's toolkit on the development section, although the use of toolkit is generally frowned upon since if something broken, you don't have a clue of how to fix it since it does everything for you, IMO you'd be better learning fastboot, since if you mess up you'll have to learn to use it eventually, this is coming for someone who have used a toolkit and messed up (from my own stupid fault), ended spending my evening learning fastboot and all that, been doing it manually ever since and no problem have been met.
It's still your choice though, if you really want to use the toolkit then just hop to the development section and get it yourself.

Hey everyone,
I have rooted my GS3 prior to US Cellular's update to android 4.1.2, but after the update, every rooting method I have tried has failed. I almost bricked my phone the other day attempting to use a toolkit.... It tripped teh flash counter apparently and my device status was "Modified" instead of normal. I downloaded the Samsung update tool for the USCC GS3, and did a manual update after i discovered that my prior rooting attempt tripped the flash counter, disabled my Wifi, and caused me to be unable to download an OTA update.
The question is this...... what rooting method shoudl I be using for the USCC Galaxy S3, running 4.1.2? I'd love to be able to block ads again....... and I'd like to stay with the base OS if possible (not flashing it atm)'
Thanks in advance!

Using that method should would, oldest method and always proves true. Like always, you're responsible for everything.
Tripping the flash counter doesn't matter... I have never had USC reject warranty service, and I don't use any counter reset tools.
Unfortunately, XDA isn't the best place to find support for USC phones... Do a Google search for TeamUSCellular and go there for detailed step by step guides.
Then, look carefully at some of the ROMs here on XDA... Several of the ones that use Aroma support multiple carriers.

Root build 4.1.2?
Newb here,
Has anyone had any success in rooting the US Cellular SCH-R530 with build 4.1.2? I donated to the Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit cause but after an auto update the most recent build listed for US Cellular is still 4.1.1.
Thanks!

No I didn't 'ready' it but I did read it and that post was from a week ago. So I am following up as a lot can happen in 1 week. Either way, TeamUSCellular does not have anything on it at all. But thanks for all your help. I am now regretting the fact that I donated to the development of the toolkit. I guess if this isn't a good place to find help on US Cellular phones then there shouldn't be any US Cellular phones in the toolkit, but yet there is....hmmmm.

Ops I had a type O oh well (I need to slowdown sometimes LOL). Try to PM the dev of the toolkit he might be able to help you out.

I think you need to look a little closer.
Go to Forum, go to the SG3 Development forum, go to SG3 Guides & Tutorials, then the 5th topic down is what you want (How To Root Jelly Bean LK5 & MB1).
It takes you step by step and even provides links to the files you need.
I just used this last week on a friend phone and it worked fine.

Hi, I'm getting a galaxy s3 tomorrow. I was just wondering if someone would give me a run down of anything I should know. My last phone was an inspire 4g. I don't know what a modem is. I was wondering what people are talking about "tripped flash counter" is it important? What is it? Any thing else like that, it would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to the the dark side!!! Well the tripped flash counter is a Samsung can check to see how many times your flashed a non Samsung kernel on the phone using Odin or heimdall. Its important to have it at 0 if your sending your phone back to Samsung for repairs or if your exchanging for a new one with att.you can look up chainfire on xda. He has a app call triangle away which is can reset the flash counter.if you find his thread on xda he explains the flash counter a lot better. The only other important things I believe you should know is you can flash some T-Mobile galaxy s3 roms (search the thread to make sure tho), as you may know every phone is different so some kernels may work for you others may not and the root method is different from HTCs so read the stickes and theards or find a update to date video on how to root. I hope you enjoy this beast of a phone!!! Once again welcome

Thanks alot! I have one more question. The "casual" root method..will that install cwm or twrp or 4ext? And lind of recovery? Or dobi need to do that separately?

Since you'll be getting the att model look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2042775 ape made an excellent tutorial for beginners when it comes to rooting the s3. it has pictures and he even package a root kit follow the instructions and you should be fine. Before trying make sure you have a good understanding of it first. I believe it even helps you install cwm. Once your Rooted if you want twrp just download its either goo. Im or too manager I don't remember from the android market and install twrp from there. Once again if you run into a problem search the thread first because more then likely someone had that same problem or you can message me and I will try my best to help you and guide you through it. Like i said before there are turns of tuts ane vids out there to help you

The best thing you could do right now is read up and understand these different processes and procedures. There are many who don't and find themselves on this forum with broken, sometimes unfixable phones.
Look over the link in my signature. It can guide you from start to finish and ensure that you cover all your bases as safely and smoothly as possible.
Cheers

Unlike your HTC you have to try really hard to brick a Samsung phone...other than that make backups of your EFS, IMEI, and keep a nandroid of rooted stock ROM on hand and you are good to go. Like more Galaxy S phones its fairly fool proof and if something happens you can get out of it. Don't flash anything for the international version. I prefer TWRP for recovery because its user interface is a lot better but to each there own.
