Security on rooted device - Galaxy S III General

I just got a message from "Redbox Instant (beta) by Verizon" that reads
"Sorry. For your security, we can't let you continue because your device is rooted. Rooted devices increase risk to you and to us. That's why we can't let you enter your credit card information, make a purchase or stream movies."
Anyone know a way around this?
Thanks

unfortunately there's no way except buying a code.
Use samsung galaxy s unlock on the market, it's free and easy.
U tried it on Galaxy S Plus? Working?

Reject ICS Upgrade?

Howdy!
Quick question - I'm getting ready to buy my Note from Amazon, however I don't want to upgrade to ICS (sounds like too many bugs right now). How do I keep the upgrade box from popping up? I don't want to accidently say yes. Will it keep asking me to upgrade every few minutes?
Please keep in mind that this is straight out the box firmware. I don't plan to root or anything of that nature.
Thanks!
You can turn off auto update, and checking for new versions in Settings.
This belongs in q&a!!!

(Q) changing imei on the phone

Hi everyone, I am from Greece and I am studying at turkey. The problem is that turkey wants to register the phone imei with my passport in order to work with their companies.
I have registered last year my last phone I had, the xperia mini st15i with its imei and now that I am in vacation in greece I took the nexus 4.
The things I want to ask is that can I change the imei of this phone?
If I change will the phone has any problems? And my last question for someone that is from Turkey or if someone knows, if I put the xperia's imei in this phone will it work with the turkeys network?
I really need help with that guys, I hope there will be a solution. Thanks a lot for the community help you are providing

changing IMEI is illegal in most (if not all) countries.
you won't find any advice or help about such things here on xda.
In my country is not illegal. I just need answer for my questions, I don't want help fir changing it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Might not be illegal (which in itself is dodgy as hell) in your country but as it is almost everywhere else in the world it's not allowed on here...
I know my friend, I will not change it.
Let's take it otherwise, I am just curious and have some questions. I'm nor telling that I will change it.
Does anyone knows answers for my questions so I can give away my curiosity?

No, and I've reported this thread to be closed as it's banned on here...
Thread Closed, any discussion regrading the changing of your imei is strictly against XDA rules, now may i recomend that you don't ask this question on XDA again please.
Thanks

Hey guys, so I heard that there's a removal sim that I can use on my Sprint S4? I'm planning on leaving to Canada for a couple of weeks and would love to use my phone over there if possible... Anybody got any ideas on how I could do it?
Thanks in advance!

I looked and I didn't see it! I've seen them before, but that was a couple months back before I knew I was going and now I can't find them. I figured they were deleted or something......

Call sprint and ask them to unlock it. Then pop in a Sim card and I'd you don't get "error no Sim" stuff then you are good to go.

Help from the Comunity to Sim Unlock

SOLVED UNLOCK FOUND
THANK YOU VERY MUCH kmani.k78 & aalyatim AND ECS87, AND THE REST OF THE PEOPLE THAT PUT SO MUCH EFFORT INTO THIS!!!
I have experience doing sim unlocking (I found the sim unlock method for the LG Optimus 3D).
I bought one of this phones to try to unlock it.
What I have found so far:
-The uicc unlock is preformed by Sprint OTA (over the air) by sending a network message to the phone to init the unlocking function.
-This message can be sent by generating a fake message and using a software DFS CDMA to comunicate to the device modem and generate the secuence.
-This was done to the Sprint Galaxy S4 but now Samsung implemented a signed encrypted package for the S5.
-By default, domestic networks (Tmobile and ATT) are locked even though sprint unlocks the uicc
-This can be overriden easily once we unlock the uicc
What I need to continue my search:
-a EFS and NVRAM Backup of a phone that had the uicc unlocked
-a App Log for the uicc unlocking state (a phone that is eligible for unlocking by sprint and activate the application log to monitor the unlocking process)
INSTRUCTIONS for the App Log
Because we only have one chance and I don't want to let it go. Please please if you are eligible for a Sprint unlock contact me and we will set up a live meeting so we can setup your phone before hand (root, increase log buffer sizes, etc) and preform together the unlock process. Also because I have not seen the unlock process I don't know if the device will reboot or what happens and I don't want the logs to be overridden or deleted in the process.
INSTRUCTIONS for the EFS and NVRAM dump
If you already unlocked your phone and have an active sim slot, because you went through the process of calling Sprint and they agreed to unlock your phone.
Download the following tool:

Select the option Backup partition for LTE device.
Any help would benefit the entire comunity.

Actually root is not required for the logs and NVRam but it is highly recommended so we can get all the information possible.
