I think I have found an eBay listing. http://www.ebay.com/p/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-SCH-I535-32GB-Pebble-Blue-Verizon-Smartphone/115121001 And an auction...

Surely someone that browses/lurks the forum has one. Perhaps start a mod could create sticky or someone start an RnD thread ect to draw attention?

My SCH-I535PP's (prepaid GS3) chip# begins with 15. Would this possibly be relevant to users with the prepaid model? Edit: Wasnt sure if cid is unique to each manufactured chip or to a model, which is why I blocked it out.

If your kernel build date is before June 2014, towelroot. If it's after that or towelroot says it's not supported, kingroot(not to be confused with kingoroot). You can use http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/supersu-please-t3110954 after rooting with kingroot to replace the...

You may be able to use a mouse or keyboard via an OTG cable to enter the pin.

Ah I read "swift" as Swype and my Prepaid Verizon GS3 came with Swype preinstalled. I have an idea, perhaps try the Verizon repair software "repair" the device to back up data while in Odin mode? I don't recall if it will require a password or anything.I don't believe it required USB debugging...

Take a look at this, https://www.nowsecure.com/blog/2015/06/16/remote-code-execution-as-system-user-on-samsung-phones/ may be able to remove the pin. Sorry if discussion about this isn't allowed or frowned upon. Seems like a pain and it may not work for the s3

SSH access may let you transfer some files on the device to another machine. (Assuming that it will connect to known wifi networks while locked)

With HDDs I know it's possible as I have done it before. The only issue is not overwriting the data when reinstalling a operating system ect. Flash is abit dififfrent but still doesnt overwrite deleted data as soon as its deleted. If you're willing to try it on your gs3 first then go for it...

Do you have busybox installed?(Not the installer app, the binary executable(s))

If you couldn't flash a recovery using Odin then you're probably right about it being on one of the newer versions(your phone), the boot loader got locked up tight and the only recovery we have available is Safestrap. This is a tough one. I'm no expert by far, take what I'm saying with a grain...

I'm running the stock prepaid rom, not superlightrom, sorry if there's any confusion there. When I tried out superlightrom (quite some time ago) it appeared to work fine (excluding wifi/data and nagging about no SIM card being inserted, nothing like what you're describing) and I went back to stock.

Did you wipe cache/data after installing? Other than that I can't think of anything that would cause that

Safestrap 3.75 had support for AOSP roms (wifi/data didn't work for them either) and 4.0 dropped support for that (there is currently no point). Read the thread for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797314

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-verizon/development/rom-superliterom-v1-0-i535vrudne1-t2805797/post53919312 If you're going to try flashing an i535 rom and then the i535pp modules let me know how that goes, can't test as I won't be able to do anything till the weekend. If that's the...
