I want to flash baseband update (LK3 over LH9) for I747 before rooting and flashing new ROM. Someone suggested rooting first and then flashing update from recovery. Will that preserve root? I understand baseband is in a different partition. Thanks.
Yes, it will. It's just firmware for the radio, nothing else.

So, you want to have the latest baseband in place before you install a new ROM?
Save a step and do that at the same time you're rooting the phone by flashing one of the rooted stock images from here. It's just easier.
To answer your question, though if you're *just* flashing the baseband through recovery, it will preserve your current ROM, data, etc.

So instead of flashing LK3 zip via Odin, I flash root66 LK3 image in Odin, install ROM Manager and do what I always do: install recovery and then go into recovery to flash ROM and Gapps. Almost too easy...like using CF Autoroot is.
Thanks.
You don't flash Gapps with a stock ROM...

He means flashing Gapps after the custom ROM he's planning on installing.
If you are going custom, just root, install TWRP, reboot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, Factory Reset, Format System, flash ROM, flash Gapps, flash modem. No reason to do all this other unnecessary nonsense.

Did this and all went well...except my primary router is now "not in range" while the extender down the hall is connected.
Found issue. For some reason, phone caused router to revert SSID to router's ID and also change key. Only realized this when I saw new wi-fi that had fabulous signal strength but SSID I'd never seen before. Changed SSID and key to original and all is well. Need a drink.

[GUIDE] AT&T CWM-flashable UCALG1 update | no wipe, leaves root and universal search
I've put together a zip file with the I747UCLG1 AT&T OTA update that can be flashed using CWM. This file
does not trip the flash counter
preserves root
does not include the Google search update to remove universal search
does not wipe /data
does require removing all themes and modifications
Standard disclaimer: I am not responsible if this bricks your phone, destroys your IMEI or kills your kids.
Prerequisites: You have to be on stock I747UCALEM for this to work. It may be rooted, but all the standard AT&T and Samsung bloatware must be there with no modifications. It's okay if some of the apps are frozen with Titanium Backup. You must not have any other mods or themes applied. The updater will check this stuff and abort if anything is wrong. I personally restored a nandroid backup I made right after rooting. If you didn't make one, you can use Odin and the instructions here to go back to stock.
To apply it:
Boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup.
Go back to AT&T UCALEM rooted stock if necessary (see above). If you're already on stock UCALEM but have framework-res.apk modications applied, you can flash this zip to restore framework-res.apk to UCALEM stock.
Make sure CWM recovery from clockworkmod.com is installed. The recovery from Team Epic will not work. You can get a zip file to flash in your current recovery to install v5.8.4.5 from here. Use one of the first two files; the ones that start with "recovery-clockwork". After you flash the zip, restart recovery through the "advanced" menu. Your recovery should say "ClockworkMod Recovery" at the top and not "CWM-based Recovery".
Put one of the zip files from below on your internal or external SD card.
Boot into recovery
Wipe cache and dalvik cache (optional?)
Flash the attached zip
(Optional) Go to Backup and Restore, Advanced Restore and restore the /data from the nandroid backup you made in step 1. If you used a nadroid backup in step 2, this should restore your data and apps. If you used Odin to flash the rooted UCALEM image, this step isn't necessary.
Reboot
Open Settings / Application Manager. Choose All tab. Click on AT&T Software update. Clear "Clear data". If you were getting OTA notifications before, this will prevent them from recurring. After doing this, your phone will know it's up-to-date.
This worked for me. I checked that my flash counter is still at 0 and Google search is still finding local stuff like apps. I still have root.
DOWNLOADS:
I747UCALG1_OTA.zip: This is the full OTA, with kernel and bootloader. You must be using the stock UCALEM kernel for this to work.
I747UCALG1_OTA_No_Bootloader.zip: This is the full OTA without the bootloader.
I747UCALG1_OTA_No_Bootloader_No_Kernel.zip: This is the OTA without the bootloader or the kernel. You can use this if you're already running a non-stock kernel.
I747UCALG1_OTA_Bootloader.zip: This is just the bootloader. You can apply this along with the "no kernel no bootloader" zip above in case you want everything but the kernel.
MODS:
This process requires the stock framework-res.apk, so at this point you'll need to reapply any mods you already applied. Here are some mods that I've rebuilt against LG1. Both are zip files you can apply through recovery.
Tether and Cell Standby Fix: This includes the mod to enable native Bluetooth and WiFi tethering from here and the fix for the incorrect reporting of Cell Standby time from here.
Tether, Cell Standby Fix, Increase Autobrightness: The same as above, but also with a mod to bump up autobrightness levels from here.
No Increasing Ring: This removes the increasing ringtone volume. The mod is from here.
OTHER PIECES:
Kernel: The UCALG1 kernel and kernel modules.
UCLG1 Modem: Just the modem from the OTA.
UCLEM Modem: The modem from the stock UCALEM firmware.
UCALG1 Bootloader
UCALG1 Bootloader (no checks): This is the LG1 bootloader will all the checks for AT&T ROMs removed from the flashing script. This can be flashed even if you're running a non AT&T ROM, but only flash it on AT&T phones!
UCALEM Bootloader
UCALEM Bootloader (no checks): This is the LEM bootloader will all the checks for AT&T ROMs removed from the flashing script. This can be flashed even if you're running a non AT&T ROM, but only flash it on AT&T phones!
LIST OF CHANGES IN OTA:
A full list of the files and partitions changed by the OTA is attached to this post.
Only 10MB? Wonder what they updated... not much need for it for me, Im on AOKP, but downloading anyways, and thanx button hit TWICE LOL

Did you remove Flipboard or install an update?
You have to be on stock UCALEM. The OTA applies binary patches to a bunch of apps (including Flipboard.apk), so they have to be in a specific starting state for the OTA to apply correctly.

I don't think I understand. You're already on UCALG1, but you want to apply the OTA to go from LEM to LG1? Why?
If you do want to do that, you do need to flash the rooted LEM tar through Odin. Then follow the rest of the instructions in the OP.

Yup. It includes everything except the Google search update, recovery, and (optionally) the bootloader.
I"m a bi confused too, but from a different perspective.
I am completely stock; got upgraded today to UCALG1. I am interested in rooting (and then possibly applying a kernel from this forum), but not sure which method I should use based on teh fact I am now on lg1.
Odin back to pure stock working fine.. some of my apps fore close though

I think there are only two ways to get rooted LG1: Start with rooted LEM and use OTA Rootkeeper to keep root when you apply the OTA or use the method in the OP. In your case, you'd have to Odin back to the rooted LEM to get root, then if you want to go back to LG1, follow the OP steps.

Depends which method of rooting you want to use. If you are interested in the method that does not trip the counter, then yes you would flash that through ODIN (which will technically revert you back to UCLEM with root injected) and then apply the update in the OP here and in the end you should be on a a rooted UCALG1 w/o a tripped counter.

I currently have Stock 4.2.2 Rom - S-Off - Rooted - TWRP
How can I get to the newest Stock 4.3 (Radios, etc) ?
Is it easier to just flash stock recovery, then take the update, then flash TWRP and superuser back?
Or has someone made the update into a root-friendly flash-able zip yet?
Thanks in advance if this is a dumb question, but I wanted to ask so I get it right the first time.

So I can just flash these with no loss of data? Or do will I need to restore data after I flash the rom?
My plan would be:
1) flash "Odexed Full ROM"
2) flash "2.10.605.1 firmware"
That should put me latest update stock right? (I might need to re-flash superuser)
I can flash all of this through TWRP?

You cannot flash the firmware in twrp.
It has to be done following the instructions in the post.
I would do firmware and then the rom.
Put the rom on your internal storage before flashing the rom.
Flash the firmware as instructed, then in recovery flash the rom, reboot.
Do not try to reboot in between, it wont work.
If you do it in that order you won't have to wipe, you will be on the latest OTA and have a rooted boot.img.
Supersu is installed already. You can prevent it from updating or flash the newest one here.
Read the OP and post#2 and follow it you should be fine.
Yes you want odex coming from full stock...
Thank you for all of the help santod040 !!
Your files and instructions worked perfectly.
I'll make sure to check in on your threads when the 4.4 update comes around.
SpellingHello,
I rooted my 4.1.2 SGH-T999 by CWM , then unlocked it by downgrading the modem , unlocking and then upgrading to 4.1.2 .
When I checked for OTA updates the phone says" my device has been modified. software updates are not available. "
How can I get back the option of getting the OTA updates? If so, will I lose root? And also while I am on 4.1.2 is there any things else I can do that are simpler to do than when on 4.3?
Thank you.
May I suggest first reading up on the serious issues caused by accepting OTA updates. If you still really wish to go down that path, then use Odin to go back to stock before accepting OTA.
Flash the stockmod rom.

I guess since the phone is out of warranty and kind of old, it probably won't get that many updates in the future. In that case, I can leave everything as is.
With the configuration I have now: Unlocked at 4.1.2 , CWM 5.5.0.4, how do I update the phone to the latest one available on this site? Do I use odin ( PDA and which flags ) , or load it in SD card and run it from recovery? Doing either one, do I lose root or not, and how to get it rooted again, same way I did it the first time.?
Thank you guys for your assistance , this is the first time ever I am making changes to a phone.
StockMod Rom comes as a Zip. Put it on SD card and Flash via CWM. That's not CWM's latest version.
So if you keep getting errors (Status 7) while trying to flash, then you will need to update CWM.
Latest is 6.0.4.5 over here. Alternately, get Rom Manager to update as well.

Would I lose unlocked if I flash the modem and use Stockmod or Stockmod Custom ROMs?
Do these ROMs come with WiFi tethering?
I am slowly learning, Installed ROM manager from AP store, and updated the CWM to the latest..
I have to flash the modem first, should I reboot then Flash Stockmod or do both one after the other?
Thanks.
I believe StockMod will support WiFi Calling. You will have to try and find out. As to the Modem, you can flash both one after the other and that's fine. When it comes to modems, I personally reboot after a modem flash to see how the signal is like.
Sometimes, some of the modem don't work well in my geographical area. If the modem is a precursor to the Rom, then I'd flash the modem, then check and then flash the rom. After Rom is up and running, I may go back to original modem.

The reason I asked is because on the development page where the Stockmod is , it says to " Flash T999UVUEMJC Modem
Flash ROM , Reboot and Enjoy "
My other question was about sim unlocked. I downgraded modem, did the unlocked routine, upgraded back to 4.1.2 modem. Now if I flash modem and ROM, would the SIM Unlocked status stay or I have to unlock all over. The whole reason I got here was to unlock and root for WiFi hotspot.
Thank you again for walking me through this.
The phone will stay unlocked despite change of modem or Rom. You can try flashing the rom directly without the modem. I don't think there may be issues. Of course you can flash modem if it didn't work. Put the modem on your external sd when you download Rom.

My ATT SGH-i747 was rooted and running 4.4.2 until an OTA this past weekend soft-bricked the phone. Phone would boot to a blank screen but still allowed access to download and recovery modes, thankfully.
With help from this awesome forum, and a stock 4.3 flash via ODIN, thanks to enewman17's epic efforts and thread , the phone is back, but now won't recognize the SIM - and baseband version is "unknown" - I suspect I need to now go up to 4.4.2 to get the hw recognized by the sw. Went to ATT and they put a new SIM in but to no avail
CWM recovery is gone, but I can reload that easily enough...
Do I need to just flash the modem, or is the bootloader involved too?
Is there a single flash or .zip that will get the ROM (incl CSC and Modem) up to 4.4.2 in one shot?
I never really wanted to go this deep but here I am so now I'm looking for advice or direction as there are so many directions to look... thanks in advance!
Mismatch in firmware
Digging deeper, using Phone Info *Samsung*, I have noted the following
bootloader version: I747UCUFNJ1
baseband version: <blank>
pda version: I747UCUEMJB
csc version: I747ATTEMJB
skip a bit...
modem version: <blank>
hardware revision: <blank>

So it would seem I have a mis-match of versions, where it seems all should be the same..

Your modem (baseband) appears to have been compromised in the process of downgrading from Kitkat. You could try either of the following solutions...
1) Flash the UCUEMJB modem via custom recovery to return you to complete stock 4.3. You can see the modem file here ....
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319197285
2) Do a complete stock restore to 4.4.2. You can find the stock update zip via the following thread ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/general/ucuemjb-to-ucufne4-firmware-update-t2808654
If you can reflash the 4.3MJB modem, you can check to see if you can get an OTA update to 4.4.2. Using Option 2 requires you to be on complete stock 4.3 so this may not work if you currently don't have the baseband/modem. I would strongly advise you stick to the custom recovery flashable files for now and avoid Odin. You would, however, need to restore custom recovery via Odin.
Hope this works for you.

Thanks for the detailed reply with links, Larry :good:
So I guess my plan of actions will be
1) re-install custom recovery w CWM to my external SD card as was previous
-do I *need* later version of CWM? Previous one of mine was 6.0.2.3, IIRC, that is what I can easily flash back to the phone
2) install .zip (from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319197285) via CWM
If that doesn't work, I was interested in the S3Rx ROM vs. a stock 4.4.2 ROM - is there any way to go straight to a custom 4.4.2 ROM or should I get the modem working in 4.3 first?
Lastly, Where can I find a later version of a CW Recovery Touch .tar to flash via ODIN? (third stoopid noob question in this post, I know...)

You aren't the first to have this issue. This is why I am still on NE4 and did not take the OTA to NJ1. The update is pointless anyway, all it does is patch the kernel so towelroot won't work anymore aside from updating the bootloader.
Since your bootloader is NJ1, that is your firmware which cannot be downgraded. If you try, you will brick. You have to work with NJ1 files here only. Sure you can flash older modems, but stick to NJ1. I suggest using ODIN to flash a custom recovery, then use enewman17's NJ1 .zip file in said recovery to reflash all the NJ1 stuff. Then do a complete factory reset. You might need to flash stock recovery to do the hard factory data reset, as I am not sure if it can be done in CWM or TWRP.
In the future, I suggest freezing the update and not upgrading until people on here do it and report how it's working or rather not working in this case.

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.

The latest version available for my baseband is 4.3. Will I run into problems going from 4.4.4 to 4.3?
Flashing in Odin will flash everything, including the bootloader and modem.

Thanks. So if I'm understanding correctly I just flash the latest firmware released by my carrier (4.4.2)? Is there anything else to watch out for when choosing the firmware?
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!
