I'm glad I found this thread because I thought I was going nuts. I've been having the permissions issue with my M8 for a while now and it's infuriating. I tried wiping the cache and if that doesn't work a RUU will be next. I don't understand why they would let this be such a problem across...

That is what may finally push me away from Verizon. I can't get service in my house anymore. It was bad when I moved but after the FCC told them they need to sell some of their towers it got much worse. I rarely get texts and I have to walk up the street to maybe get signal and even then it's a...

The new SIM isn't working so I have to come to the conclusion that I might have to retire the S3. The charge port is a bit wonky, the power button is possessed and the phone doesn't owe me anything. I have a M8 as backup but that thing is also possessed and resets permissions constantly. I could...

Well the issue is still present on OctOS so I have a new SIM on the way. Hopefully that works because I'm sure any replacement S3 they ship out to me will have their craptastic relocked bootloader so that's not going to help. I have the GF's old S3 but sadly she updated it and now the bootloader...

I have a feeling it might be the same issue cyanogen had with verizon's network and the s3. I'll take a look at OctOS because this is getting quite annoying. Thanks!

I keep having network issues. I'll get it to work in the metro area where I work. Then I'll go home to the woods where I get 0 signal and about midway through the weekend I loose all signal and then it won't connect ever again. I'll get it to connect through some voodoo and it will work for...

Turns out It takes almost a week and a mixture of 3-4 guides here. Some Odin, some Casual, some TWRP flashing and luck. FInally I'm back to where I was before I hit the wrong button.

I've been trying to flash the first 2 but only once did I get a PASS after the flash I went to flash the second one and I got reset. I've tried it for hours but I can't even get it to pass again. I'm kinda stuck now. I can root and install TWRP for some reason but I can't get the bootloader...

Well it's obious that I can get root, install TWRP but for some reason casual will not unlock the bootloader. I can't seem to find the old thread nor any files to just unlock the bootloader. I know somehow I did it last night as I saw the unlocked screen it's just damned if I can do it now. It...

This doesn't make sense. I installed TWRP but it still says the same as above leading me to think my bootloader is not unlocked. I don't get the unlocked boot screen either. How can I install TWRP with a locked bootloader?

So I'm now having issues with the bootloader. ON the download screen it says custom binary download yes (5 counts), Current binary samsung official, system status official and secureboot enable. Pretty sure that means casual didn't work. I have root but not bootloader. Is there another option...

More info: I am on 4.04 so the bootloader should not be locked. The phone is beat up and the USB connector is wonky. Only a few cables will work and I have to make sure it doesn't move or it will disconnect. It does mention that the secureboot is enabled in download. I've had it rooted...

I noticed after taking one of the lineage updates I lost root. I tried to reroot with odin and managed to pork my phone quite good. It took me until about now to get it rooted, unlocked and finally TWRP loaded. Recovery was fighting me the most. Refused to install in odin. I finally got a...

Is anyone else seeing a lot of random reboots? It could just be my device as it's the preorder one I got way back in the day and have had power button issues before.

I just tried to uninstall My verizon and their messenger app with root uninstaller and it didn't work. I'm going to wipe and flash again to see if I missed something in the aroma installer. No dice, still there. If I change my CID to not be verizon would it not load the verizon B.S.?
