I have been hitting the install later for a couple days now and my daughter picked up my phone and installed it (9 years old told not to touch phone).
I have rooted my phone on V8 for Wi Fi tethering but now it does not work.
Can someone IM me the noob directions to revert back to the V8 or point me in the right direction if there is a noob version out there..
I have come across so many threads but you have to be a rocket scientist to understand them.
Need a noob dumbed down version on how to get back to V8 please

Can't go back to ZV8. Have to go back to ZV7 then re-unlock and re-root.

i think what op wants is to not have to lgnpst back to zv7 every time he softbricks.
I'm confused... does that mean once you get back to ZV7 the phone has to be rooted, then load the rooted ZV9 version, or once to ZV7 one has to update to ZV8 then re-root then load the rooted ZV9? Where does one fine ZV8?

pretty much. if you try to update i think it just goes straight to v9. i have yet to find v8 firmware anywhere except for a flashable zip which you need to be unlocked for anyways.
Re: Rooting software version zv9
PM me and i'll get you the instructions to downgrade and obtain root. Its rather easy. Cant post here due to the links being proprietary LG software I believe

Yes you can root zv9 on this link. Guide has instructions for rooting and unlocking zv9, it is a little bit further down but is there.
Or you could just flash the rooted version.

1 try boot to recovery and do wipes cache/data then boot
2 try flashing fw for your country and model

In my case flashing the modem did not do the trick unfortunately. I had to go to comand prompt to make it work. If ibfind the link where the procedure is written down ill pm to you
Flash the modem from the firmware you had on your phone before you flashed DN3 rom,that should solve the issue.
Gud luck.
Last night I downgraded my phone from 4.3 back to 4.1.1 and it worked fine. So after the 4.1.2 OTA update started and my phone rebooted. Since then it has been stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen and will only boot into download mode. Does anyone know any way to force it into recovery mode.
What model? I317m or i317?

unfortunately due to you being on official its a one way street. LOCKED bootloader, there is no downgrading. Now i believe I read on the s3 forums that if you can reflash the current official bootloader and rom you 'might' be able to boot, suck part is I dont think anybody has posted it yet.

No, I'm not trolling. Nothing to troll for. If there are issues with this downgrade on the OTA 4.3, I highly recommend following Milkman00's advise.
I think there is some confusion here.
I was on the stock 4.3 and tried using ODIN to undo the bootloader. It didn't work. Not only did it not work, but it rendered my phone unusable. It claims that there is a firmware problem and to use Kies to restore the firmware, which cannot be done currently as the latest firmware in Kies is <4.3.
DO NOT USE THAT METHOD. Long story short is that I now have a Note 3 because I broke my Note 2. :/

Ouch! Hopefully, thanks to you and joedeuce, the rest of us on the official ota won't go down the same path.

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.

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.

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
