Hello all,
First post here so appreciate you bearing with me a bit while I adjust to a new forum....
I recently tried rooting my phone to get around VZW's block on wifi tethering, increase battery life, etc, etc. (normal reasons for rooting). I have very little experience in rooting phones so read a ton of threads in this forum as well as through other websites to try and learn as much as possible.
Unfortunately, I installed the latest 4.3.1 update on my phone (via OTA) so this only made the challenge greater! I finally found what I thought would be sufficient for my needs and followed the instructions here to root my device:
Root Verizon Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 on Android 4.3 VRUCML1
Everything seemed perfect on reboot, but I recently noticed my wifi wasn't on and when I tried turning it on, the button goes to "on" and then immediately back to "off". Since I don't want to burn through all my data, I am trying to find a fix for this wifi issue. I think I have 2 options at this point:
1) fix the wifi problem 2) un-root the device and get it to stop showing "custom" OS installed so I can file warranty claim with VZW. Right now it shows the custom screen on boot-up as well as in ODIN mode and I have read this should be changed to make sure warranty covers my device...
Anyone have advice and some instructions on which solution would be easier?? I tried getting the "custom" to disappear, but once I un-rooted the device, it went back to "custom".
