New Galaxy S3 Paper weight

[pbarch1]

Well after waiting for more than 3 months, several days ago I finally rooted my phone. Backed it up, installed CWM and EZ proceeded to downloaded the latest CM10 nightly only to get a triangle warning to take my phone the the nearest Verizon dealer, That um-authorized software had been installed on my phone.
I think it's hopeless, any ideas?
Thanks

Have you tried restoring the phone back to stock?

Forgive me if this is an obvious or dumb question, but I gotta ask... you did run ez unlock (not ez recovery) and unlock the bootloader right? B/c that sounds like an error related to the bootloader still being locked.

Here are a few thread in here that should point you in the right direction, please make sure to read up on what you are doing.

If the bootloader is still locked, I believe you should still be able to get into download/odin mode (home + volume-down + power) and flash the factory image through Odin.

haha, dang dude lol what ya like more of the HD with the S3 besides camera?

It really came down to the camera - the older my 3 kids get, the more important that becomes.

I'm in a strong 4G area, so reception isn't an issue (since Moto supposedly is better in that area). Obviously they're two completely different experiences - both from a hardware and software standpoint. But the S3 has so much dev support thanks to the unlocked BL, I can make the software do whatever I want.

As nice as the battery life was, it's not bad on the S3 (I can get a day no problem), plus I have a backup battery/charger if absolutely needed. Honestly the S3 is more pocketable and more ergonomic, but doesn't feel like a solid tank either.

So all in all, lots of unimportant (to me! ) differences aside, it came down to the camera. Plus it should be about as future-proof as they come with 2gb of ram.

Your not bricked. Same thing happened to me last month after I accidentally relocked my bootloader on a pre rooted stock rom. You need to get in Odin mode as suggested and Odin back to stock.

Same thing happened to me last week.

Did it pass through odin? Also, are you sure you flashed a stock unrooted verizon GS3 file?

It did finally pass through Odin. I had tried to go back to stock with a a file that I had DL'ed a few days ago, apparently that was the problem, I downloaded a new stock image and bingo.... all is good.
Again, thanks for all the help.
