[angelisawesome]

If i were to put a t-mobile rom on my verizon s3 is it possible for me to brick it? And if i do can Unbrick it with a restore? I wanna flash a t-mobile rom so i can get sms messaging in my phone cause i have it with t-mobile and only the data works.

There would be a great chance of you messing up or bricking your phone because of discrepancies between the ROM (which is meant to run on the T Mobile variant, which has different radios than the Verizon S3) and the hardware.

You can certainly unbrick it using Odin, the program used to restore and factory reset phones on PCs as long as you can find the stock Verizon ROM to flash and reset the phone.

It won't work though for the simple reason that VZW locked their GS3s to never work on US GSM carriers such as ATT and T Mobile to discourage people from leaving them.

Solution to the problem: sell the S3 to someone who wants one for Verizon; use the profits to purchase a Nexus 5.
