[Q] problems with attempted root - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I recently attempted to root my phone (epic touch 4g) with the odin method and the EK02 kernel files with ACS. The thing was successful according to odin, and i have the super user app. I had an HTC Evo previously and have experience with rooting etc. I loaded up a terminal app, and tried 'su' and it says its unknown. I downloaded a 'check root' app, and after running that is says that i do NOT have root. Have i missed something? Does anything have any suggestions? Here is my info:
android version: 2.3.4
kernel: 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EK02-CL704398
Baseband Version: S:d710.10 S.EG30
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.EG30
Hardware Version: D710.10
Please let me know if you need any more information from me. Thanks in advance for the help!

You might have flashed the modem update but not an actual root. Flash sometthing that has busybox/root and CWM5

Have you tried "autoroot"

[Q] Help updating baseband

Is there any method to update the baseband on the AT&T Galaxy S3 (SGH-1747) via clockwork mod. I know this can be done via Odin but the usb connector on my phone is behaving properly and randomly disconnects the phone at times. I am currently on baseband version 1747UCLG1 because I have been running a custom ROM since the 4.0.4 stock build. I need to update because the latest AOSP ROMs are not compatible with my baseband version. The baseband version I need is version I747UCDLK3. Thanks in advance for your time.
Just flash zip file

It's not your baseband that needs updating it's your bootloader. Completely different things but they share the same name.
You can either revert back to stock and let your phone officially update itself via Kies or search around the CM10.1 development thread for some Odin flashable files that will update just your bootloader and a couple of other behind the scene firmware.

[Q] Baseband Version & IMEI Unknown

Hi all,
Ran into some issues with a new phone, hopefully someone can help me out. I've been reading and tried a few things, but no dice. I purchased an unlocked AT&T Galaxy S3 off Ebay, then proceeded to install CWM recovery, take a nandroid backup of stock (v4.0.4), and installed CM 10.2. Upon inserting my T-Mobile sim card and trying to configure the phone, it complained about me needing to insert a sim card and I subsequently noticed that both my Baseband Version, Network, Mobile Network Type, My Phone Number and IMEI are reporting as Unknown.
I've tried restoring my nandroid backup to stock, same items are reporting as Unknown. Trying to flash several stock images with Odin results in 'SW Rev Check Fail: Fused 2 > Binary 0'. I'm guessing this is since CM 10.2 is v4.3. I've tried using NV-items_reader_writer to read/write the IMEI, but it won't connect, complaining 'Phone does not accept SPC. SPC is not correct.' I've run Triangle Away under CM 10.2 with no change to Odin results.
Currently, Download Mode reports:
SGH-I747
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable
Warranty Bit: 1
Bootloader RP SWREV: 2

Does anyone have any suggestions on next steps?
I have never been able to run cm 10.2. I have tried several times and always get the Sim card error and no signal. I don't know about the imei or the baseband, because I didn't check mine. I am on at&t and have the newest boot loader and modem. I just flashed a different ROM and my phone worked fine, but like I said I don't know what my baseband and imei showed.

Is the model # sgh-i747 according to the phone's label located underneath the battery? Did you try using Odin to install a stock ROM?

correct, the model number is sgh-i747 as shown underneath the battery. i've tried flashing several stock 4.1.1 roms using Odin, but each time i'm greeted with:
Odin Log:

do you have any suggestions on stock roms to try flashing? i think i need 4.3 for the bootloader(?) to allow it, and as far as i can tell there isn't an official 4.3 image for AT&T's i747. perhaps i'll give the 4.3 leak a try, or try flashing a non-CM rom as bellifritz suggests.

Actually cm11 works fine for me as well as quantum. If you want a stock ROM I can find a link to the thread with the stock debloated 4.3 at&t ROM that I am running.

Look through this thread. Scroll down to where it says Roms and the one marked debloated is what I'm running. There is an odedex version and a deodexed version. I'm running the odexed which is closer to stock but without all the at&t stuff.

Thanks for the link. I actually have an i747m and do not want to go near 4.3 because of Knox. Also, I can go back to stock, reset the counters, and keep my warranty.
I am able to install CWM and every 4.4.2 ROM I have tried installs without a problem.

Your phone is an i747 so you should stick with stock AT&T ROMs. There is a stock 4.04 on samfirmware that you can try.
here's what i flashed to fix it:

Something is not right with all that. The only reason you should have that dialogue about fused and binary stuff is with the new 4.3 bootloader, but 4.0.4 firmware is ICS. Be careful what you flash until you know for certain which bootloader you are using.
Galaxy S3 ATT Baseband IMEI Unknown
I have a samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T (I747). AT&T pushed Kitkat 4.4.2 update last night and after installing my phone was stuck at AT&T logo. AT&T says warranty is over, so they can't do anything.
I flashed JB official stock ROM and then multiple other ROMs but my Baseband and IMEI shows 'unknown'.
WIfi connection is working fine, but no network connection. Desperately need help...
Install terminal emulator from play store and enter this:
getprop ro.bootloader
Post here what firmware build it returns. Also which Rom exactly that you are currently running.
Firmware: I747UCUFNE4
It's currently running Android 4.3, Build: JSS15J.I747UCUEMJB
Try flashing one of the KK touchwiz roms. Might be that running the 4.3 rom is giving issues with the NE4 modem. If that doesn't work you may just need to reflash the modem. (You didn't flash the 4.3 modem did you?)
I think i flashed CWM_I747CUEMJB modem. is it good or bad?
once i flash KK Touchwiz ROM, do i need to flash modem also? if yes, which one?
Actually, since you are already on NE4 firmware, but you said you may have flashed the 4.3 modem, that would most likely be the cause of your issue. Try just flashing the NE4 modem and hopefully thatll take care of it for you. I just uploaded it, see below:
NOTE TO ALL!!!!!!
WARNING!!!
WARNING!!!
WARNING!!!
DO NOT FLASH THIS MODEM UNLESS YOU ARE ALREADY ON THE UCUFNE4 FIRMWARE!!!!! THIS WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF FLASHED ON 4.3 FIRMWARE!!!!!!!
THIS IS ONLY SAFE TO FLASH IF YOU ARE ON 4.4.2, NE4, I747 FIRMWARE AND BOOTLOADER!!!
ATT_GalaxyS3_UCUFNE4_Modem
maybe a stupid question, but because of your warning just want to confirm:
the terminal command returned the type of boot loader which is NE4. do i need to confirm the firmware also, if yes, how? or is it the same?
Checking the bootloader confirms that you are on that same firmware. So if it said you have the NE4 bootloader, you also have that firmware so you are safe to flash.
---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------
And its never a stupid question when making sure you fully understand something like this prior to flashing! If in doubt.....ask!
Thanks a lot! it worked. my Baseband and IMEI are back and it's connected to AT&T network.
But the moment i flash modem, WiFi stops working. I tried it multiple times, WiFi works after flashing JB ROM and stops working after flashing Modem. When in settings i try to turn the WiFi on, it turns off automatically.
There is also constant security information: "The device has detected an application attempting to perform action that are not permitted. These actions have been blocked". This also happens on wifi-on action.
Open the SuperSU app and it will ask if you want to disable Knox. Tell it yes and those security notifications will stop.
For wifi, if you are running a 4.4.2 rom, you will need ktoonsez' kt747 kernel. If on a 4.3 rom you need the MJ2 kernel.

Reverting back to stock on my ATT S3

Hey all, I have CM10 on my S3 but I am wanting to go back to stock touchwiz, preferably the latest and greatest version. Could anyone point me in the right direction. I imagine I need to odin some software in place but wanted to make sure I didnt brick anything in the process or set off any flags. Thanks!
whats your bootloader and modem ?

Android 4.3.1
Baseband is i747UCDLK3
Kernel 3.4.66
CM Build is 10.2.1-d2att (Feb 3rd 2014)

Hope that works. Thanks!

If you're on the LK3 bootloader and baseband, the simplest way to get to 4.4.2 would be to flash back to stock 4.1.1, unlock it using the free method if the phone is still locked, and run OTA updates until you are running the latest TW.

Thanks all. I was able to get it working successfully. Only thing is I cant seem to go past 4.3 via OTA. When I check for OTA (for 4.4.2) it says none exist. It wants me to try again in 24 hours but is it normal for it to take some time? Thanks

Update 4.12 to 6.01 "safe??"

I have a friends tmo note2 running 4.12 w/root&twrp.is it safe to flash a current 6.01 rom.or should it be done in steps.any tips appreciated.thnx

I recommend installing the latest bootloader and modem before flashing a custom MM ROM. Easiest way to update both would be to flash the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com.
im running Revolution Remix, i didnt like Oct-M it was too dull, and I haven't tried any other. RR is a good daily driver, I was already running the current OTA 4.3. There is NO OPTIONS for kernel support on the Marshmallow ROMS, you must use the kernel that comes with it, and there is no overclocking options. That being said, it runs 1000 times better than the stock 4.3. I recommend you use TWRP. You can do this very easy by rooting with KingRoot, downloading the TWRP App, install, and reboot your recovery to flash your ROM, no USB needed, no confusing guides, no catch. Kingroot>TWRP>Wipe>Flash>GAPPS>Boot. You should be running the latest OTA when you do this. Bootloader is already unlocked unlike Verizon.

Also, do a nandroid backup before you do anything.

* N910AUCS2EQE1 * Full 4-File Odin 6.0.1 Firmware *

Hello!
Here is the full N910AUCS2EQE1 Odin manual update to 6.0.1 for everyone to enjoy. You can flash from any current version you have now it doesn't matter whether you are on 4.4.4, 5.1.1 or 6.0.1.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120742009
If for whatever reason you want to downgrade or don't like this build, you can safely downgrade to any of the below versions without any issues. After you flash a lower android version using Odin, phone might get stuck on AT&T logo. If that happens, all you need to do is boot into recovery and do a factory wipe/reset and phone will boot right up after that. Make sure you backup your data when upgrading or downgrading firmware so you don't loose any information..
