Thanks! I'm actually in the same situation as OP.

Here's my situation: My warranty bit was set back in the days of 4.3 but when I took the 4.4.2 update (As you know the flag is gone from the download screen) and my system status says Official. I am thinking of trading in my phone for an upgrade if I can get them to. (Or just buying a phone...

While JTAG isn't the most user friendly can it be used? I thought I heard someone say that JTAG will no longer work to overwrite the bootloader. Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Free mobile app

Under settings -> security -> security policy updates. I think it's for SELinux Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Free mobile app

I just had something interesting happen to me yesterday. I'm on 4.4.2 Rooted and Youtube wouldn't connect to any videos and Netflix would stutter every 5-6 seconds. When I booted my phone I had the custom lock which was not there since I've upgraded to 4.4.2 and rooted. In the...

The Bugs\Exploits they are showing have already been patched. As of right now there is no known bug\exploit for the S3 4.3 to 4.4.2. So we just have to wait to see if someone comes up with one. Until then the bootloader is locked.

You should watch this video: The Story of (In)-Secure Bootloaders They talk about how they've used bugs in bootloaders to install custom kernels. The S3 is one of the phones they talk about. They talk about where the bootloaders are installed. One of the methods they've used was using an...

I used to get those all of the time, but on 4.4.2 I haven't gotten any yet. I've been on kitkat a few days now. I used to also get the message when I had on data and Wi-Fi. Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Free mobile app

Yeah that seems good. When I installed, I messed up my bootloader and everything. So I just used the Verizon repair application and it installed Jellybean for me and I OTA installed KitKat. Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Free mobile app

When you upgrade to KitKat 4.4.2 you can use TowelRoot. That's how I've rooted my phone. And yes try unrooting anf then taking the upgrade. Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Free mobile app

I also installed the Verizon USB Driver that showed up when your phone is in install mode. I was also on windows 7 and went under Start->Devices and Printers and made sure the modem showed up. It's labeled 8 thousand something I believe. Here's the files from the phone when it's in install...

I had the same issue. I used the Verizon repair app and let it install 4.4.2. I too was stuck on the firmware error screen. Another problem I had was my sub was faulty so I had to have it half in and half out of the port for it to work. Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Free mobile app

I think it's NC1. The newest Kitkat is NE1. Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Free mobile app

Can a JTAG really remove the boot loader lock so I can use custom roms? If so I'd be interested in studying what it takes. Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Free mobile app

I downloaded the zip from: Here And I installed the GoogleHome.apk. For some reason I was unable to install the other 2 apks. Then just because I tried the launcher and so far it works fine. I didn't even copy any files to the system/lib like it says. It installs but I didn't follow the...

Google says it's not compatible; but I have downloaded the apk and installed it when I was on 4.3 ML1 and it ran fine. So it should work on 4.4.2 but don't quote me on it. I'll try it now and let you know.

Yeah I'm planning on it. I just had to wait for ML1 to download. Thanks everyone for your help.

Me personally no. But I don't know if Xposed, TowelRoot or others did.

Yeah. I'm trying to figure out why. I used Titanium Backup, TowelRoot, Safestrap. I'm trying to see if any of those is causing the error.

I hear people saying you have to be 100% stock to update. I was wondering if maybe I still had some files left over from SafeRoot\GeoHots Root, or Safestrap that is causing the error. I just tried to install from update.zip manually using recovery mode and got the following: error in sideload...

Yeah that's how I've been trying to update it. I'm wondering if it could be because I froze some apps with Titanium backup. I unfroze everything and unrooted and even factory reset. Here is a snippet of a log I got from the update process: Verifying update package... I:comment is 3317 bytes...

I rooted mine and installed ES File Explorer and told it to use root. Then I clicked show hidden files and I found the update.zip.

I have a few files here. Here is a snippet of what I've found so far: Verifying update package... I:comment is 3317 bytes; signature 1778 bytes from end signed len : 419569452 sha1 : 419569472 6166a2c2 e7e3004f 59c5b22a 3f0c3478 da627d54 61 66 a2 c2 e7 e3 00 4f 59 c5 b2 2a 3f 0c 34 78 da 62 7d...

Shouldn't I be able to just install it from OTA though?

Has anyone been able to install KitKat successfully yet? I can download it but I have trouble installing it. My Post

I'm trying to upgrade my SCH-i535 to KitKat but every time I try, I get an Unknown Error occurred when I try to install it. I've unrooted and even factory reset. Last night I updated from ML1 to NC1. Now I'm tring to update to 4.4.2. I have no problem downloading it OTA. Kies freezes when I tell...

What part are you stuck on? If you want I can help over IM. Just let me know which Messenger if you want to.

You do not need to extract debrick.bin. In win32diskimager select your device then click the blue folder icon. Then underneath the file name change the "Files of type:" from Disk Images to *.* by clicking on it. After that the file will show up...

Diligent enough? So have you had to recreate the SD card multiple times to get it to work? Luckily my last phone the LG Thrill 4G was able to use a piece of software to unbrick it. Even when the phone was only showing up as an OMAP device similar to how this is showing up as HSUSB FIXED: The...

I need help too. Just like OP I didn't know that 4.3's bootloader was not un-lockable yet. Here's how I bricked my phone and what I've tried so far. ROM: 4.3 Verizon (Stock) Rooted with SafeRoot CWM Recovery was installed. I used EZ Unlock and it reported Success to unlocking the bootloader...

OMG! OMG I fixed it! WIth your help! Though I didn't use the guide, it did provide me with the key piece of information I needed! Here's how I did it: 1. Install OMAP Drivers. 2. Hold down the VOL+ button and plug in the USB. The OMAP driver doesn't need to appear in the device manager. Just...

Ok so I installed the OMAP driver amd started start_fastboot.bat With holding down the VOL+ Windows makes the sound of a device connecting and doesn't do the disconnecting sound. Which is good. Without holding the VOL+ it plays the connecting and then 3 low beeps (Unrecognized Device). But...

Found a flash tool. Disregard this post.

Try this. Warning this will wipe all of your data! Ok now onto something you should try. To get to the Factory Hard Reset: 1. Turn off the phone. 2. Hold down the Volume Down button and the Power button at the same time. 3. Click Factory reset when the menu asks you if you want to. Let me...

[Q] Possibly Unbrickable I just recently rooted my LG Thrill 4G with ICS 4.0.4. When I was trying to install Clockwork Mode Recovery I used a program that had two options. (Looking for the program name now.) It had "Install" and "Recovery Install" The recovery install was for another phone I...

Glad to help.

I only got to a menu to wipe my device once. I tried many times and the time I got to it it only had one option which didn't seem to help. byetimmy: Did you try using the tool I suggested in my post?

I got the KDZ_Flashing_Software.zip from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191698 Install the msxml from the zip then you can use the B2CAppSetup program. Hope it helps. ;)

Hey everyone. I have the LG Thrill (P925) from AT&T. I'm used to changing roms and trying new things. Well today I get a text from AT&T saying ICS is out, so I go and download the LG Mobile Support Tool like the text says. The first few times don't work. I got stuck at the LG boot logo. (I...
