Has anyone able to flash the Verizon G7 to the stock rom by chance?

Hello there, I have my stock T999 4.3 rooted and unlocked (not factory unlocked) to use with other network.
I would like to know if i flash and use one of the custom ROMs (T999) available here will lock my S3 again? Thanks.
When I first rooted my S3 I was looking for ROMs to try. I remember coming across a link to download the stock Rogers ROM with the bloatware removed.
For the life of me I am not able to find it again now that I would like to go back to the stock ROM. Does anyone know of a stock Rogers Canada ROM for the S3 (i747)?
Thanks,
imcndn
Depending on your bootloader, you may not be able to flash a de-bloated ROM if the de-bloated ROM flashes an older bootloader.
The boot loader is I747UCUEMJB
Do you have an i747 or i747m? Only the i747 (at&t version) has an mjb bootloader and flashing a Rogers ROM onto an i747 may or may not work well.
can canadian lg g3 users flash a stock d855 custom rom for example?
In theory we should be able to flash our extracted lp modem then other variants rom then our canadian lp rogers kernal.
i just want to confirm before i go ahead and flash

You will brick your phone unless your on D855. Isnt the Rogers variant D852?.
Kernel wont boot since it will give you boot certification verify error
You wont be able to get cell service as well
In simple words, please dont. Ive seen countless threads from Canadian people who have fully bricked their D852 because LG Flash Tool told them to flash a D855 firmware while updating
Hello everyone! I'm not really new to this Android rooting and unlocking bootloader stuff (I did this to my previous Xperia phones) but I'm "new" with it now because I'm now an LG user. I currently own the D855 Global variant.
So here are my questions:
1.) Is it necessary to unlock the bootloader to flash custom ROMs? Or is root enough? (I rooted my phone yesterday and installed TWRP with AutoRec for D855 users) I'm kinda interested with the Cloudy G3 ROM.
2.) Is it necessary to unlock the bootloader to flash custom kernels?
3.) What does bump mean? I haven't heard this term before.
1) No, you do not need to unlock your bootloader on lg g3 to flash Cloudy ROM or other custom ROMs.
You are not even able to unlock the bootloader on this phone currently. If you already
flashed TWRP go get your Cloudy ROM and flash it with TWRP.
2) Again no. Like I said you are not able to unlock bootloader on this phone currently.
But you will be able to flash custom kernels because they are BUMPed.
3) And finally BUMP is a way of signing boot image so it could be booted on LG bootlader without the bootloader itself being unlocked. All XDA ROMS for LG G3 I found here are already prebumped so you are able to download them and flash immediately.

Thank you so much! Another question tho, if I flash any stock based custom kernel, how do I get back to stock if in any case I would want to?
Before flashing anything you should always do backup with TWRP or other custom recovery you already have. If you did your backup there, just restore it that way.
In case you did not, you are able to use LG flash tool and flash stock kdz files.
Also you could backup your boot.img(kernel that is...) using app like Flashify and restore it with it if necessary.
And again I recommend doing a nandroid backup with TWRP before flashing anything at all.
I know the answer is 99% NO but still how did this person do it? Does the galaxy use a different "kind" of bootloader that allows this?

has anyone with a rooted (but locked bootloader) G4 actually tried the latest flashfire with a G4 custom rom like resurrection?
I tried lollipop genisys and its way faster

You can install Roms with locked bootloader.
I have CamUIX installed, which is based on the original rom.
I am not 100% sure but I know that you can not install custom roms which use a different kernel (any cm rom).
So it wouldn't be very useful :/
By the way, the rom in the Video is also a Touchwiz based rom
Sure you can... You can flash ANY rom that is compatible with stock kernel... Locked bootloader is only about signed boot.img and recovery.img not about system.img
oh interesting.. is there any custom G4 roms that uses stock kernel? i'm hesitant beacuse i have a h812 which has a locked bootloader and none of the roms that i see say that they can flashed for h812
it looks like genisys: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/bl-lock-ul-android-6-0-marshmallow-t3459260 uses stock kernel..? will it work on my H812 if i flash with flashfire?
You can flash custom system images ONLY also on lollipop ONLY. Boot.img and recovery must be signed by lg to load with locked bootloader, they obviously arent so cant do a single s**t really.
