Dumb question. So I'm rooted.Can I use other carrier roms? Also have the boot loader unlocked and carrier unlock. Does that mean I can use this phone on another carrier if I ever left Verizon??? Thanks

Yes it does but be carefull cause if the rom has a modem thats not verizon the phone will catch it and youll get the yellow triangle

Is there a way to unlock my sim so I can stay with t-mobile but use any AT &T phone.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
You don't unlock the SIM card, you unlock the phone itself to use a different carrier other than the one it was locked to . (IE- Samsung Vibrant is locked to T-Mobile, unlock it and you can use a AT&T SIM card in it and it will run on AT&T)
Is there anything I can flash on my sgs3 I'm picking up shortly to take away the att branding? I have looked for a solution but cannot find a clear answer for my question.

You mean flash a different Rom? or do you mean remove the att logo from the back?

Flash. I can easily order another back, but I want rid of carrier branding (ie. Boot logo etc.)

You could flash Canadian software. There is no branding or carrier bloat at all. Totally Samsung,

I've heard about phones that can't relock the bootloader after unlock, or that keep track of the number of rom flashes, as ways to tell if you have rooted(and thus voided your warranty). Are there any checks on the S3?
Yes

Yes. There is a custom flash counter

Just flash a stock recovery and the flash counter will be reset

Which phone do you have? I don't think is that easy on the S3.
Thanks for your help. Hopefully by the time I have the cash in august it'll be even easier to root without upping the count.
I just picked up this phone today. And just rebooted and it said custom unlocked. I've seen another person say this too. However I'm wondering if anyone knows why. I don't plan on rooting till I can unlock the bootloader too and more custom roms come out.

No idea. I have the same image as well. I rooted though.

So you picked it up from Verizon that way? If so boot in to download mode (power on holding the volume down button, then press volume up) and see if Write protection is Enabled. You'll have to pull the batter to get out of download mode.
Update I checked it again now and haven't rebooted or done anything still. And now it says official. This is so weird... I'm not the first to see this either. Maybe the device is randomly unlocking and locking the bootloader. Cuz I rebooted like four total times. And once it said unlocked custom. And checked status a couple times and it's always official but that one time. Previous post. I just picked up the phone today. Haven't rooted yet either. I don't wanna root until bootloader and roms and everything are set to go. I hate stock but it is what it is for now.

Up this still makes no sense what if I need to bring to Verizon I'm bone stock and it sometimes says custom on reboot and in device status as well. Both change. I know I'm not the only one. And I'm not rooted or anything. Bone bone stock... Should I return?..
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
No I'm not bs. I've had it say custom unlocked on rebooting once out of like the four times total. And this will say original or custom randomly certain times of the day? Like the phone unlocks the bootloader and relocks at different hours?

That's bs, take it back........Even if you plan to unlock the boot loader down the road, you don't need to be dealing with the inconsistency of the stock boot loader locking and unlocking itself when it feels like it.
I saw another person with the same issue but I think was rooted I've had it for a day. I don't want to return it if other people have the same issue. I need more feedback.

I have had this issue as well. Mine was related to flashing a debloated rom after rooting. I ended up getting a new phone from verizon, just acted like I had no idea what was going on.

Has your new phone had any issues yet. Any signs of it. Should I try and exchange?

Seeing how there are a few people with this issue and probably people that have it and don't even know. This may be just a software bug which is why I'm hesitating to exchange and get a phone worse off.

If your running any aftermarket kernels or kernel mod apps and have the "set on boot" active, it will trigger the custom logo.

Ok guys, I've looked everywhere so don't flame me please, lol. My wife needs to return her phone cuz it won't hardly charge. How do I get back to stock? Meaning, where do I find the stock Rom, how do i do it etc. Thanks in advance for the help.

Even if the phone is rooted. If it's an actual charger port issue then Tmobile would replace it anyways. I think. But first return to STOCK by flashing the RUU. (I would give you a link but I'm sure you will find it faster on your computer then I would on my phone).
I'm never too sure though. I think there is a way to change the bootloader to-day "LOCKED" but idk what it was.

Someone on here made a mod that reset the lock status flag. Maybe that can help.

I'm looking for it. I found this. But it might just be the relocked status

Hey have you flashed correct RUU.??
Bcoz many people tried it and it is worked for them very well..
Try again.
No issue of relocked.
Bcoz relock status will be shown if you lock your bootloader through oem lock process.
Try to follow next step...
