Has anyone posted a stock 4.3 rom that can be used in Odin? I'd like to refresh my phone completely but I don't think I can without Odin to flash the stock recovery + image.
This can be flashed if I am not mistaken. But this is for the SGH-i747 model specifically. Not so sure about the SGH-i747M.

Actually, afraid this won't work the instructions tell you to flash it manually via CWM or TWRP. I'm looking for a .tar that can be flashed using Odin which comes with the stock recovery etc.

There isn't an Odin flashable for i747 of anything past 4.1.1. Thank AT&T for screwing us.

My misunderstanding. Then no, there is no 4.3 image for your device. Sorry bud.
Given that the first ND8 rom is out there now, I'd thought it would be a good idea to write up the steps you need to take BEFORE you can proceed to flashing your first ND8 rom.
Steps to take/verify before flashing an ND8 rom
Check your bootloader version. If you are not on the ND8 bootloader, any ND8 rom you flash will brick your device.
You can check your bootloader version by running the following command in a terminal emulator app/shell on your device. Adb shell will work as well if you know how to get that going.
Code:
getprop ro.bootloader
If the version string it returns ends with "ND8" (no quotes of course), you are golden and you can skip to STEP 5. Otherwise continue to step 2.
Oh no. You ARE NOT on the ND8 firmware so you need to flash it before you can safely flash your first ND8 rom. Head over to THIS thread and flash the stock tar using ODIN (or a similar program) ON YOUR PC. Mobile ODIN will not just fail to flash it properly, but may leave you with an inoperable device aka brick. Don't try to take shortcuts. Following the instructions in the stock tar thread for how to flash the tar. NOTE: The restore tar MAY or MAY NOT wipe your internal storage so back up your information as necessary.
After flashing the stock tar, head back here and move on to step 3
Download a custom recovery tar (I highly recommend Philz touch, works for flashing kitkat roms well with the greatest consistency. Grab the latest tar HERE)
Flash the recovery tar with ODIN (or a similar computer program such as jodin, heimdall, etc) the same way you flashed the stock tar.
Now you can flash your rom. Yes, it is slightly tedious the first time, but once you are on the ND8 firmware you needn't repeat these steps the next time you want to flash an ND8 rom :good:

Devs and others, I encourage you to refer all ND8 flashing questions here to keep things centralized and have one set of info from one person versus multiple from multiple people.
Have fun flashing!
It definitely did wipe my internal data, so be sure to backup to your SD card or off-device. I fortunately had most of it backed up, but I think I lost some pictures.
Is there any way to upgrade to rooted stock ND8 without losing data? I'm rooted stock MK3 and I don't think I've ever installed the Knox boot loader. My boot loader came back as MD4.

The only chance for you is if you're rooted Odexed. You'd have to unroot, flash the stock Knox MK3 bootloader, kernel and recovery, and then accept the OTA.
There is NO way to run TouchWiz 4.4.2 without the Knox ND8 bootloader.
And if you don't know one way or the other, I'd say there's more of a chance you're DeOdexed than Odexed, which won't work at all for the OTA.

I've been itching to move to ND8. I'm currently on MD4, with no knox. With all this talk of knox, is it really that bad to have?
I'm on Ting, so I buy my phones outright and don't have phone insurance. I have my old SGS2 as my insurance. Its my understanding that the main issue with knox is if you downgrade your bootloader, it'll hard brick your device. Otherwise, you can still flash ROMs and what not through custom recovery just like before, regardless if its MD4 based or AOSP. I don't think i'll ever need to send my phone to Sprint/Samsung for warranty/repairs/ect. or downgrade bootloaders (never felt the need to). If I sell my phone, I'll just odin the stock ND8 and be done with it. Are there any other downsides to having a bootloader with knox?
So just to be clear if I follow those 2 steps above I then can flash any ND8 ROM, I got that, but will the phone still be rooted? Why do I ask? Well if you keep reading the ND8 Full Restore thread bilgerryan posted to flash CF Auto Root, then recovery, so I am just a little confused. Here.
Unfortunately the OP in the ND8 thread never updated the initial post to include all of the requests that followed, like listing the MD5 and attaching the root instructions that were posted. I am pretty sure I got the answer to my questions by reading the thread again, but I can see how things get confusing fast. So keeping root is a 3 step flash.

I may have asked this in another thread, and if so, I apologize (I've been horribly sick) but is there any way to ODIN through WIFI or something? The MicroUSB port on my phone is destroyed and I can't afford a repair. I am rooted, with a custom recovery, on the MD4 bootloader, and would like to move up to an ND8 based KitKat ROM, but obviously the broken port is causing a bit of a problem.

Hi CNexus. I appreciate the guide. I seem to have run into a bit of an issue though.
I was on 4.1.2 (rooted Sprint L710) and decided to flash this update. I used Odin 3.09 and flashed the stock ND8 as per step 2. Everything went fine and it booted up without any problems so I went back into download mode and flashed the custom recovery you have linked in step 3. Odin gave me the big green "PASS" and the phone rebooted. Again no problems so I transferred the rooted stock rom (this one) to my SD card, turned the phone off and went to boot into recovery mode.
Here is where the problem is. When trying to boot into recovery, I get to the screen that says something like "booting recovery..." and then the screen just goes dark. Nothing happens as long as I hold down the buttons. As soon as I let them go the phone boots up like normal. :/
I repeated all of the steps again thinking maybe something (maybe me) messed up the first time. Same issue. Recovery won't load but the system boots just fine.
If you, or anyone else, have any ideas I would greatly appreciate some help. Thanks.

To boot into recovery u have to let go of the volume up, home button, and power key all at once when the "booting recovery" screen appears. If you're still holding them down when the "booting recovery" screen disappears, you're phone is going to start up like normal.

Today I upgraded with 4.4 kit Kat stock tar, then flashed philz 6.008 again through odin, rooted ,debloated ect. My question is can I upgrade/flash philz 6.00.8 d2spr to the newst philz recovery through recovery? Or do I need to odin a recovery again.

You can flash any recovery from your custom recovery. The first one is just Odined because you can't flash that from stock recovery.
Old Philz had separate SPR and LTE builds. The SPR ones aren't built anymore and you can flash the latest LTE one just fine, that's what I use.

Your modem is probably lost or corrupt. You may try downloading the modem from the link below and flashing via (custom) recovery.

Why don't you try a full (stock) firmware restore then? If you have MJ2 , you can upgrade to full stock 4.3JB. I also learnt from a very reliable source that you can Odin safely to 4.1.1 from the (modified) MJ2 as long as you don't have the MJB bootloader.

That's a bit of my question, I'm, not sure what firmware I'm on currently, how can I check?
OR which one is the newest, I can flash from anything to the newest one correct?
I'm ready to do that, but worried on what bootloader I have, and which to flash to safely.
I've seen a lot of old guides, dead guides, 404 DL links, etc :/.
I just don't want to flash anything incorrect in my attempts to repair it, and brick it. :silly:
Boot into download mode and tell us what it says on the screen. This information will determine whether you have a stock 4.3 bootloader on your phone.

It looks like you are running the stock 4.3 AT&T bootloader. I based this conclusion of the fact that your warranty counter has been changed to 1 from 0.
I suggest installing the latest version of Philz TOuch via Odin and flash a custom Kit Kat ROM. Try that and see if the modem works.
BTW, you should use the mjb modem as other modems probably won't work.

I recommend Philz Touch because it is easy to flash it using Odin. I used to have TWRP and had problems flashing ROMs. Once I switched to Philz, I didn't have anymore problems.
The best modem in your case would be the mjb version. Even though the Canadian and US versions of the s3 are identical hardware wise, the bootloaders and modems are not interchangeable.

I flashed the same firmware with Odin and was then able to successfully root and flash my s3 with 4.4.2 PACman. Was having the same issue before this where I had no service, no sound, and YouTube, etc.. wouldn't play.
Hey guys,
I was running Cyanogenmod 11 for a while which I installed using the automatic tool online. During the summer I flashed Dirty Unicorns but I have issues with the camera and random rebooting. I just got a Galaxy Gear for Christmas and I've read that its only compatible with touchwiz roms.
I'm trying to go back to stock and I am ok with losing my root access.
I have an SGH-1747m on Baseband I747MVLUEMK5 and my service provider is Bell. The android version is 4.4.4 currently. Whats the easiest method to do this? I've read some concerning information that going back to an earlier version of android will soft brick your phone, but I believe the most current Bell firmware is still in Jelly Bean.
Is it as easy as downloading the correct firmware and flashing it using Clockworkmod Recovery?
Thanks
You should download the stock ROM from sammobile.com and flash it in Odin to get back to stock.

Also, before flashing should I make a backup with Clockwork Recovery or any other program? Will Clockwork Recovery still be present after flashing with ODIN?

Yes, flash the latest firmware for your phone. Be sure it's firmware for the i747m and not anything else. Always make a backup if you ever screw up or want to go back to where you are now. You will lose everything by flashing the stock firmware with ODIN, even clockwork mod recovery.
Thanks. When I made a backup before going to Dirty Unicorns I used Clockwork Recovery. If Clockwork will be deleted by flashing with ODIN, how would I utilize that backup if I needed it? Should I use another program to back up?
EDIT: I flashed it and everything went smoothly. Sincere thanks to everyone who gave me help!

So I was on nh7 prior. Flashed the modem file in Odin.
Went into twrp 2.8.3.. wiped. Installed rom, then kernel, then booted into system. Wifi didn't work.
Any suggestions? Do I need to wipe dalvik after the kernel install?

SGH-M919 on 4.2.2 stock rooted -> Update via latest CWM = soft brick (stuck on Samsung boot screen)
-> 4.2.2 stock via Odin -> installed TWRP recovery -> installed your posted 4.4.4 NK2 ROM = no wifi
-> installed posted NK2 Modem -> installed posted kernel = still no wifi
-> Reverted back to 4.2.2 via backup + NK2 modem= regained wifi

It's the kernel causing it. Don't know why. Keep the stock kernel or flash a different one. No one has provided a log cat with errors

Pardon my noobishness, but I always follow the guides and normally install w/e I am told. How can I revert to the stock kernel? I originally tested after flashing your custom ROM, and before the new kernel and it still didn't work.
Received a replacement S4 from SquareTrade today (last one broke), and it shipped with stock 4.4.4/NK2. Can I just flash this ROM/firmware in Odin? Or did I have to be rooted already?
You suppose to flash twrp recovery in Odin. Then flash this rom in twrp.

You need to root with cf-autoroot in Odin first. Then Odin whichever recovery you prefer.

The one on Chainfire's site only says it's for NH7. I'm on NK2, is that one still fine?
I should know this...it's just been a while lmao. Thanks

Be fine. Or just skip cf auto and flash a recovery, flash supersu package, or flash recovery and flash a rom. Cf auto root is a waste of time if you're just gonna flash a recovery

Awesome. Thought I needed to root before flashing a custom recovery. So the only difference is my Knox counter will be tripped right? Oh, and the SGH-M919's boot loader is unlocked by default as well, correct?

Cool. Thanks again, man.
Is there a unrestricted hotspot hack I can flash with this rom?
I'd like an answer to this too if anyone knows.
I'm on an MDL bootloader with NK2 baseband.
Hey all. I'm not sure this is the right thread but I do believe it's related. I've posted similar questions in other threads so bear with me if you've read some of this before. I'm just having trouble getting responses...lol. So, I'm trying to help a friend who bought an s4 and hooked it up with metro pcs. After he got it connected, he brought it to me. I used odin to flash oudhs recovery and then I flashed the sickness rom (the guy I'm helping ONLY wants unrestricted tethering, btw). The rom would not boot--stuck at boot screen. I then tried wiping everything in recovery and restoring the stock (which I had backed up, of course). That will not boot either (ugh). So, I now plan to use Odin to flash the stock .tar. I found one here in the forums BUT then I found another stock .tar in the Metro PCS thread. I'm not sure which I should flash--I'm leaning towards the Metro one since the guy IS on metro (if someone knows better, please let me know).
Question now is, after I flash the stock .tar, what is the SIMPLEST way to unrestrict the guy's tethering (if possible)? I'd REALLY appreciate a little help. Even if it's just pointing me to a thread that might help. Also, if anyone can explain why the Sickness wouldn't boot, that might help as well.
Thanks in advance!

Shabby's cwr is so extremely out of date. You need to use newer recoveries. I prefer twrp.
If you look in my nh7 stock base thread or my afh account you'll find a tethering mod for tmos nh7 which should work on metros nk2
