Fantastic news! It worked!

For step 1 -- I installed the original stock image using the computer version of odin. Thanks to the helpful tip above.
Step 2 - OTA updates all the way to jelly bean with no more errors!

Can't wait to hear how this works for you. I am a bit hesitant to do this on the gf's phone. If it was mine I likely would. But since its hers I might just take it in to Verizon and make them replace it.

Thank you kindly. I'll try these out and let everyone know how it goes!

Will installing jb this way trip that counter?

Realize you've already done it, but I would believe that "no", this would not trip the counter since it is an official signed image. I have no evidence to actually support that claim one way or the other though.

Wow. Good for you man! This does make it awfully tempting to do this on the gf's phone because I read the steps and it doesn't seem too difficult.

Does this make any difference on doing future OTA updates? (if anyone knows)

As long you don't root or muck with the phone then ota will work.

Yes OTA updates worked just fine after installing the original stock image. =)
