Hello, this is a bit embarrassing seeing as how this is my first post here on XDA.

My issue is that I rooted my 4.4.2 Verizon SCH-i535 galaxy s3 and I bricked it. I know, I was extremely stupid for trying to do this while half-awake at 2 in the morning LOL... but i ended up with a screen stating that "this device has detected a software not authorized by verizon wireless, please go to a branch to get help"

When I use Odin to try and flash any ROMs, this is the result:

Code:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> ODINRecovery.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

good luck
