If you can ODIN without issue then nothing's ever really lost. Worse comes to worst you just have to redo all of your rooting again.
If you connect to your pc does adb recognize it? If so can you push your saved files to the sdcard internal?

im doing odin but its been on the same process for the past hour.. seems like its stuck
That picture's too blurry for me to make out anything, but it doesn't look like you have auto reboot and f. reset time ticked? They need to be.
Exactly which file are you dumping into the PDA section? You should try the latest version of ODIN, 3.07.
Also, why does it say epic 4G?

looks like you put the complete stock ROM back on, with no root injected.
As long as you reroot and have a backup from before you should be able to restore.

honestly idk if i wanna root again haha.. this stock uvalh2 is fast and smooth!!!
So I got a GS3 today. As of now I've had it for less than 20 hours. I was trying to install google wallet on it and i rebooted it and now it won't go past the "samsung galaxy S III" logo. I can get it in to download and recovery just fine, but when I try to flash the stock rom, it says installation aborted, and trying an update prompts "Failed to stat "/system/build/prop" no such file or directory" which was a file I messed with according to directions posted here on xda. I need to fix this. I'm getting really frustrated because I just canceled my other phone. after getting this one so I'm screwed right now. I wasn't wanting to spend my day off fixing my brand new phone but I guess I brought it on myself.
I'm ok at using odin, I can get it in to download mode... I just need to know what files to put where and I need it to be stock. PLEASE HELP!

Thanks. I was panicking and knew what I needed to do after a while but still couldn't find the right file. got it fixed, need to root. Also want to upgrade to 4.1 but I think i will wait for ota. I for one actually like touchwiz. I do need to reinstall google now and I'd like to get wallet working but what matters is that the phone is now functional again.
Glad you got it fixed there are some touchwiz leaks out look in the stickies and yes you will have to install Google now

Got my JB update today, I was rooted stock before, and the install went fine without any problems.
After the update, my Quadrant score went down dramatically, from 4500 (stock rooted ICS) to 3700 JB.
So I did a factory reset and all hell breaks loose. I dont seem to have 4G anymore, although the 4G signs is showing on the top. Play store, Maps, Navigations, etc wont load (maybe since I dont internet it wont load?). After noticing all these problems, I did another factory reset.
And now I cant even sign in to Google.
Seriously, I never thought an OTA upgrade would mess up my phone.
Can anyone shine a light my way?
Thanks.
I had a similar problem with the OTA LH2 on a rooted stock ICS , I couldn't connect WIFI, a lot of apps weren't working properly. After 4-5 factory resets, still no go. My only option was to use ODIN and reinstall the complete firmware that way, and all was back to normal. Im pretty sure this happened because of OTA over a rooted device. Worth a try I think.. Good luck.
Odin the update like above then enter recovery and wipe again, sucks you got a messed up download.

Unzip the odin file, turn the device off, holding volume down, home button and then the power button, the phone should go into download mode, start odin up, connect the phone via usb, hit the pda option, then browse to the file you downloaded and unzipped, the md5 file should be the only file showing up, select it and hit start.
Phone will auto restart upon completion.
Edit: Don't use that file, use this: https://hotfile.com/get/179444770/50a3b770/48ddf5f/T999UVDLJA_T999TMBDLJA_TMB.zip

Is that file the stock rooted JB OTA? I downloaded the root66 stock rooted OTA: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426451
But the file that I downloaded has *.7z thus unrecognizable by ODIN's PDA option.
I will download your file now and give it a shot.

Ok, I downloaded the *.7z file, extracted, flash it through ODIN and get my wifi to work, and my 4g to work for a brief moment.
Then my 4g stopped working again, and i notice that when i go to Status option in the setting, my device is listed as Modified, whereas for a few minutes after i flashed, it was listed as Normal.
When my device was listed as Normal, my 4g would work, then it switched itself to Modified and it seems that Samsung or Tmo locked my device.
Ugh, I am so bummed!
Modified ststus is jusy becsuse your rooted. It goes away if you revert.
It shouldnt have any bearing on your data though.
What does it say for baseband, network type, and is your imei there?

I am on stock ICS (Android version 4.0.4)
My baseband version is T999UVLEM
I rooted my phone when I got it at launch, and then put off all the incremental updates until official JB was released for Tmobile. Now that it's released, I'd like to update to. What is the proper way for me to do this? Flash through odin I assume? Will I still be able to keep my root or root the device after JB is installed?
Thanks in advance, I just don't want a nightmare situation like the OP if I flash incorrectly

Thanks for that, it pretty much covers all of my questions.
One that I'm still wondering about though, is can I go straight from rooted UVALEM to the latest JB firmware? Or do I flash back to stock UVALEM and THEN flash JB? Or do I need to flash each incremental update before finally finishing off with JB?

Or they can use the regular firmware file, flash it via mobile odin which roots it for ya, without the hassle and is much faster, I used it so I can say clearly it did an excellent job.
Note: if hotfile is too slow and there are no alternatives, I can upload the full firmware odin file to dev-host for everyone.

I always use mobile odin pro. My favorite app! But not everyone wants to pay for it and the free version doesnt have EverRoot.
I usually recommend it, but too many people were updating today so I wanted to stick with what everyone should be willing to do!
Ive already got the stock fw hosted from my account if that helps.
Was one of the first things I did after release. Check the firmware thread in my sig for that Plus more!

Have you gotten back into twrp recovery yet?
If youre stuck in a bootloop which it sounds like...hold volume up home button and power until device turns off and once you see samsung logo let go.
Did you make a back up before you flashed? If so restore it and youll be fine. If not then you need to remember this...always always make a backup. Every thread on here says make a backup before you flash.
And btw I dont hate noobs. We all were at one point and I remember how stressful it can be when you're unsure of what youre doing amd think youve bricked. Pm me if you need help. As long as either you can get into recover via the method I said above or alternative method is plug you phone in your pc, open up cmd prompt in then folder you put all your android root files. (Hold shift and right click in a blank space in the folder, then go to open command propmpt here. Then type in:
adb reboot recovery
That will also get you in recovery.

I'm running completely stock 4.1.1 at the moment. Do I have to use the version 4.1.1 or can I use the 4.1.2 for videotron ?
I follow the directions from the same page right?
I ask because I've already tried doing this with instructions from here and it ended disastrously .

Phone crashed twice then could not get out of download mode.
I ended up finding a stock rom from sprint that I flashed with ODIN.
My counter is now at 9 I believe. I just want to make sure this will work because I don't want to have to go through the bs all over again.
Any insight as to how to make it even easier than it already looks would be greatly appreciated thanks.
4.1.1 or 4.1.2, either is fine. download the root66 file for your phone.
Extract the root66 tar file from the .7z file you downloaded.
Put phone into download mode [ with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ], connect to computer and open Odin.
once in odin click the PDA field and select the root66 tar you downloaded.
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.
click start and
when done let phone reboot.
If you have issues flashing with Odin please ensure you are using the microusb cable that came with the phone, users have had issues using other cables.
you can stop here if you just want root.
If you want to flash custom ROMs, download ROM manager from play store to flash the clockworkmods recovery.

For the T999V and T999L, its best to not use Rom Manager or Goo Manager. There are a number of flashables that will only flash if you are using the d2tmo (T999) recovery. Using one of those apps will install d2can or d2ltetmo.
Easiest way is to download either TWRP or CWM (both are good, its up to you which) and flash in Odin right after you flash root66.
You'll want to download one with the .tar.md5 extension. Flash in Odin the exact same way you flash the firmware.
You don't have to do this, but its better for broader compatibility.

I flashed WICKED but no luck . The camera wouldn't work and couldn't connect to the network either maybe I'm doing something wrong . The phone is rooted but I've flashed 2 Rom now and no luck . Does anyone have a link for Rom that are just for the T999v model? Maybe I'm not looking in the right place.
If you flashed your stock kernel the camera wouldve probably worked. If you can't find one, ill make a zip for you a little later. Its usually tge kernel on stuff like that.
An no there are zero roms built only for the T999V. Everyone else has been doing fine with what's available.

Is there a rom that you would work on my phone that you could recommend then
please. it is greatly appreciated.
Just look at the ones that seem to get the most discussion. As far as I was aware, wicked worked fine for just about everyone, so I'd say just try another with similar features you want. If it doesn't work maybe another T999V user can give you a clue as to what you might be missing, if anything. I haven't tried most of them so I'm going by what I hear others say. There are several very good ones to choose from. I'd just start trying them each for a few days to see if any work well for you.

When I flashed a rom different from the stock rom I also had issues with the camera.
Option 1:
- You can try dialing *#34971539# (don't forget the * in front) and then selecting your Phone/CAM FW Ver Check
- Once you do that, a little box on the bottom will tell you your Rear Camera Firmware. You have to make sure that they match. If not, you can install the proper firmware (look around on the forums, I know its there)
- Extract the file to the root of your storage and then after that dial *#34971539# and select the second option. This should write the firmware onto your phone
- Exit out and then redial *#34971539# again and select the Phone/CAM FM Ver Check and see if the firmware are both matching. If they are, reboot the phone and it should work again
Option 2:
- If you are running a different rom and stock kernel, the camera may not work so you should probably flash the ktoonsez kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871946) I ran into this problem and after installing this kernel and changing my firmware my camera worked again
I hoped that help you out

Sorry, but Ive got to correct a couple of things here. This hasn't worked since at least a couple of updates ago. The firmware write option is locked. Also, you said to extract the file? Do you mean the option to perform the fw dump? This doesn't create a file you can see, use or flash that I've ever found. Not sure what you mean by this. Sorry it just doesn't make sense.
This is the correct way, if it were working.
Chose Cam to Phone FW Ver Check, if the camera firmware is older than the Phone firmware, then you would choose Phone to Cam FW Write. Thats it.
The dump, I believe basically created a fw img dump on one of the underlying partitions. No one ever reported finding it.
Anyway, I believe it was when we updated to LJA that we lost the ability to update the camera firmware. Also, the camera FW is not the device firmware, just so you know.
If you know something different I'm glad to hear it, I'm just not sure what you are trying to tell people to do...

I flashed Dandroid this morning and am loving it so far.
Completely trouble free. The only thing I ask is how do I keep all my apps that i've bought ? Or do I just have to keep downloading them from playstore ?
