Fixed: Flashed MA7 with root, flashed custom recovery and flashed LJC modem and am now able to flash to boost
Rooted with CWM, then flashed CM 10. Did not back up ever. I want stock GS3. I'm planning on selling it soon so i want it back to what it was before, but keeping the CMW is fine. Thank you.
Check out the unroot procedures in post #2 of my guide. The I747 link is on my signature.
If you want to remain rooted with a custom recovery, simply flash the stock-rooted firmware in the Android Development section with Odin and so a factory reset
Dear Experts, Need your help.
Look at the attached pictures.
I successfully flashed official 4.4.2 (M919UVUFNB4) through OTA
Since then I had google play store issues. "Could not communicate with google severs" for more than 2 days.
So I decided to get the stock 4.4.2 reinstalled. But it would need Stock 4.3 to allow OTA 4.4.2 to pop.
* So tried to go back to stock 4.3 using ODIN. This is where things got messed up.
* ODIN downgrade failed. Could not boot
* So I flashed OUDHS-Recovery-jfltetmo-1.0.3.3.tar using ODIN. Successfully flashed and booted.
* Installed CWM recovery 6.0.4.4
* Flashed "jfltetmo_M919UVUEMK2_Stock_Deodexed.zip" successfully and booted.
* Tried to go back to stock 4.3. Failed again.
Right now my phone is working without any issues with deodexed 4.3. Look at the attached pictures.
Let me know how can I get back to Stock 4.3
or
how can I update my phone to Stock 4.4.2
Appreciate your help!

Wrong section man but you can't update to stock 4.4.2 w/o the .tar (unreleased atm) and you can't go back to stock 4.3 because of Knox. All you can do is flash a 4.4.2 custom ROM and wait for the .tar for 4.4.2 to be released.

You can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2679913. It's a completely stock flashable zip.
I will say that I haven't tested it yet (will do so later), and the Dev warns that things might break. So you have been warned. But if you're already on the 4.4 boot loader from the OTA update, its worth a shot. Just make a nandroid so that if you get any errors you can go back to what you have now.

Good to know, hopefully I won't have the same problem but who knows. It's annoying to me that I don't have a way to completely start fresh but that's what happens I guess when you jump the bandwagon so early lol

There is a way to get a fresh install of the 4.4 NB4 OTA. We've been using the process for the I337 for a while now since AT&T stopped releasing the full tar files. I recently picked up a used M919 for the unlocked bootloader and have been able to follow the same procedure to get the fresh re-install of NB4.
I will put together the needed files and post a link but all thats needed is to place the OTA zip in your ext sd card and then flash the MK2 system, modem, recovery, and cache images using odin. The phone will not boot at this point but you then go into recovery and flash the OTA zip from there.

I need above STOCK 4.3 for my i747. It now has a Rooted 4.3 with CWM Recovery Mode. I need to get it back to Stock with Stock Samsung Recovery so I can then do the OTA update that is out to 4.4.2. Assume reason I can not get this update to install as phone is now is because it is rooted and does not have Stock Recovery. It downloads the update but will not install the update after download and reboot. Does this sound correct as to why I can not get OTA to install?? Thanks for help on this and send me the steps to get it back to Stock 4.3 with Odin and version of Odin to use. Not sure if need to do wipe/factory reset and wipe cache before you would install Stock 4.3 .tar file in Odin. Hope to hear from someone that has Done this before so I know it will work. Thanks Guys

Everything you need is in here. I hope this helps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789917
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>
mobile operator name: <blank>
mobile network code: <blank>
So it would seem I have a mis-match of versions, where it seems all should be the same..
Would it be safe to flash to MJB following this thread?

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.

Thanks for the response, Stoney :good:
I have CWM and TeamEpic v5 on external SD, so a version of custom recovery is there (CWM 6.0.2.3) - but do you have a link to enewman17's NJ1 .zip /recovery?
As far as freezing the updates in the future, yes. I tried to keep the OTA push from happening, apparently not ardently enough :crying:

Not a problem, glad to help when I can. I THINK this is the link you need: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/general/ucufne4-to-ucufnj1-update-t2941792
You might want to post in that thread asking if it works when you are already on NJ1 though, or get a hold of enewman17 via PM or something.
SOLVED!
enewman17 posted NJ1 modem .zip here, and now me has modem and cellular service again!
Question: can I update the thread tag from [Q] to [SOLVED] myself?
