Let's start by saying that I'm an idiot. An idiot without access to a PC. There we go, that's out of the way now. Alright, so I went online and used Towelroot to root my new (Verizon) Galaxy S3. (Rootchecker confirmed that I have root access) So, I decided to try to install a new ROM. Here are the steps I took:
-installed Rom Manager from google play
-downloaded a ROM for lollipop (5.0?)
-followed all setup prompts in rom manager
-pressed the buttons in the mod manager to install a rom from the SD card
So, here's my problem: The system shut down and tried to load recovery. An error message popped up saying that there is software that is unauthorized by verizon, and to take it to the nearest verizon store. I cannot do that because I have no money for repairs (as it is rooted), and my parents will absolutely KILL me if they find out that I screwed up my new phone. So far I have been able to start the phone by entering download mode and pressing 'cancel', but I cannot factory reset my phone at all because the error prevents me from entering recovery mode. I just want to have this thing reset.
Please give help in the terms you would use to help a 5 year old. I am a COMPLETE noob when it comes to techy stuff.
