Went to JB, want to go back but stuck on boot now

I recently went to a Jellybean ROM and would like to just go back to stock for the time being (rooted if possible). I've flashed the stock rooted .tar from mrobinsons thread. Get the samsung logo, the at&t animation, and then a white samsung logo that pulses blue, and a pulsing blue LED.
I've found a stock PIT file and tried to use that in ODIN with no luck. Also downloaded a stock md5 file from sammobile for this device and tried flashing that.
Whats the best way for me to get back to an AT&T ROM?
Thanks, wasn't able to find any real info as far as being stuck at this particular point in the searching/reading that I did

Hey guys, same thing happened to me. I was on JB roms and was really fed up with all the issues and i've decided to go backt o tstock. I had a reflex of going through odin as for my other Galaxy S 2, it was the way to revert back to stock. Now i'm also stuck on logo, i also just confirmed i lost CWM. So i dont know what to do...i dont have custom recoevry anymore, and i tried to flash stock unrooted rom with no success. Any suggestions?

Never mind, i went into stock recovery, did a factory reset, wiped cache and it booted me back to the OS

Do NOT use the QCOM Toolkit to Root the AT&T JB release!

If you try to root using the method in the toolkit it will screw up the phone and you will have to revert to stock using Odin. The phone will try to boot up but when it reaches the AT&T logo it will go black and the notification light will shine blue forever until you reboot.
If you did try to root using the QCOM Toolkit and you hit this snag use these links to revert back to stock/JB stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031840 ------ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

I tried rooting the new JB release using qcom and when I try to do as you stated odin just hangs at setup connection. Any ideas how to get around this?

Same here on Bell. And I didn't even have to factory reset coming from Serenity 1.2

I was running aokp for last 7 months and wanted too return to stock to try stock att 4.1 jb update this is what I did .first I have to say that I used root66 and although it worked I was seeing a few little issues. My camera was very dark looking and colors seem to be washed looking and also sound was low. I didnt really notice it much but from what I could remember my phone when I first got it was fine. So what I did was downloaded official jb from the sammy site and. Again re wiped my phone again and flashed with Odin stock rom. And wow what a difference I had forgotten what iI was like to have everthing work perfectly on my phone ..dont no why people hate tw so much..I rooted this time my self. And decided to stay stock for a while till 4.2 get all the bugs worked out..in all stock is running awesome great batterylife super smooth never a fc at all super fast camera and so on..good job. If you want perfect stock is great..

LTE Not working on Telus

I recently had to manually enter my IMEI when I lost it. Now whenever I turn on data it shows LTE but it doesn't work. If I switch back to 4g it works but obviously on 4g speeds and not LTE. Is this something wrong with the APN Settings? Any input?

How hard did you look for a solution?
What have you tried so far?
Are the APN Settings correct for your carrier?
A few threads back(about 50; last posted in on the 13th of February) there's one named
"Injected IMEI SGH-I747 stuck on Edge network Please help get LTE back"
there is some good info there.
Check it out.
I do not know if that is compatible with your phone or not but there is good info there. You can always ask them if it is safe for your phone.

I am curious what rom you are on?
What did you do to loose your imei?
You're on Telus? If you are have you tried flashing a stock image through Odin? (the non AT&T phones have official firmware images released)
If not it wouldn't hurt to try, just remember if you have ever been on the 4.3 OTA bootloader (I think it is MJ5? For you non AT&T guys) you can only flash 4.3 with Odin and if you never were on it you can flash whatever you want.

I've googled alot and searched. Couldn't find much.
Yes the APN settings are correct.
Okay I'll check it out.
I'm on the 4.3 Pac-Man ROM, Used Quantum and stock and still no LTE. This problem occured while I was using stock.
I lost my IMEI because I flashed the wrong carrier stock file.
Yes I have tried flashing back to stock and it's the MK5 bootloader I believe, which I have.

Hey there,
I clicked on the link that you provided (not for the files, but for the thread). I noticed on *that* thread, it was for i747M. Is this/your thread exclusively for i747? I don't want to chance it and brick my device due to a variant mess-up.
Thanks for publishing this info. =)

The link is if the i747m but I used the same process just with the i747 files.

From the threads I have been reading, NO, you can not unlock using this.
This procedure will allow you to downgrade your ROM to 4.1.1 while leaving you on the 4.3 bootloader. To unlock using the free method you must be on completely stock 4.1.1. Completely stock, including the bootloader, which would be LK3 for the i747, I believe.

no you may not be able to unlock as unlocking would result in a bootloader issue

Why don't you give it a try and let us know? I think as long as you installed the 4.1.1 modem, you will be able to unlock you phone.

i wasn't able to. i actually traded my s3 for a s3 running 4.1.2 and on that one i just downgraded and then succesfully unlocked that one. sadly i don't have either anymore because the one running 4.1.2 was having speaker issues. i now have a vivid and wish i wouldn't of traded lol.

I was able to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.1. I do have a few questions though...
1. S3ModedRom.tar: Is it for the I747 or I747m?
2. Modem file: Is it flashed through TWRP or CWM?
3. How do I go back to 4.3?
Also...for those wondering if you can FREE UNLOCK: NO. I get only a blank service menu
Input on the above questions will be greatly appreciated. Especially the 3rd question

All of these files are for i747 only and modem is flashed via recovery of your choice

Any ideas on going back to 4.3? Im currently downloading Samsung Kies. Any objections to that?

Followed the directions from a rooted 4.3 install and everything worked flawlessly. Thanks!!!

[Q] Stuck on rooted stock 4.1.2 firmware and I can't seem to do anything about it.

I'd love to update my firmware to KitKat but nothing I do will let me update it. When I do an OTA update it goes to 27% and then fails (I've tried this multiple times and it ALWAYS fails at 27%)
So far I have tried these other methods:
Installed (and uninstalled/rebooting my PC) Kies multiple times and tried various methods of upgrading it through there like trying download mode, which the phone didn't even recognize because it stayed on "Connecting" until it timed out, but it says I'm on the most current version which is total BS. I then flashed this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644) via Odin to see if that would help updating it OTA but it didn't. It still stopped at 27%. I've done a few factory resets and tried each method again after each time. Still nothing works.
Is there anything you can suggest to help?

What bootloader do you have ??
If you have either the official 4.3 or 4.4 loader. ..The flash will fail because those bootloaders cannot be overwritten. ..g

I did a factory reset before flashing that ROM via Odin.
My firmware is only 4.1.2 so I'm pretty sure I don't have either the 4.3 or 4.4 bootloader but I don't know which I have for certain. I do know I used the rom I linked to earlier to root my phone when I first rooted it. ChainFire AutoRoot if that helps.
I was looking at installing SaberKat 1.5 because it sounded like a good option due to the lack of bloat and a few tweaks.

Okay. ..
If you have the 4.1.2 loader that isn't the problem. ..
I'd just flash Zens 4.4.2 rom...and then you can retain your 4.1 loader... (good)...
Locate the TWRP recovery thread in development. ..and flash the new recovery via Odin....then flash Zens stock 4.4.2 rom....and done...g
Here ya go...see the first page of the thread. ..
Once you have TWRP...you can flash the rom above. ..or any 4.4 build...
