I want to flash back to stock rom 4.1(cant recall if 4.1.1 is the newest one or not) in a similar manner to how I flash to custom roms such as:
MAKE A NANDROID
Boot into recovery
Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache
Flash ROM
Reboot
I'm currently on PA ROM stable. So here are my questions
1) Can I flash like this instead of going through ODIN and losing root etc
2) Can I keep my root and flashing this like a custom rom, but in actuality a stock rom
3) If this is possible can ATT stock rom work on Roger's i747m, i suspect it would as long as i dont touch the modem. Not sure if there will be LTE issues.
I couldnt find anything on XDA or google, it seems that all stock revert it to original setting and no root.
Thanks

Well i must hang my head in shame for not being able to find this.
This is a good way of flashing a "custom" stock rom without odin and keeping root.
Have you heard of any issues (LTE or any other) with ATT stock on Canadian i747m?

It's just that I noticed this part of the forum referred to AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus, I wondered if they would be interchangeable.
A lot of the ROMs out there like CM10 and AOKP support ATT but can be ran on canadian i747m's, so thats why I was wondering if ATT stock can run ok on i747ms
EDIT: in beerdroid's link he did enter "**WARNING!** All information and attached links are for the I747 and I747M ONLY!"........so I'm going to assume that the ATT stock rom can run on i747m's without issue.

I think it would be for the most part, would just have to change the modem (I think?).
Either way, always safer to go with your carrier's.

Good find. I had forgotten about that one.
Typically, if you flash an att modem on a Canadian phone it will destroy the imei. I would think that the same would be true for Canadian modems on Att s3's.

We have an AT&T device however it does not install any of the rogers applications. The AT&T apps are completely useless to us as the device is unlocked and in Canada. I am going to have to root and then install the other firmware I assume. Can someone point me to the download.

Yep, I've never tried it but I have tried the other one I listed and its a great ROM. Since I'm not sure if he wants just a blank slate or a custom ROM I linked both.
I forgot to mention to flash the VLDLK4 modem is going custom ROM.
I would like to load the Rogers rom to the phone..... its the easiest place to start for me. Once that is done then I can root the phone and load AOKP or CM.... Do I have to root before loading rogers rom or can i just use odin? If I load the Rogers ROM does that remove all the AT&T stuff?

hold on dude. is your s3 running the stock at&t firmware now? if so, you dont need to flash the rogers firmware onto it just to go ahead and flash an aokp/cm rom over it again. just think about what firmware/rom you would prefer running on your device and go from there. custom or stock?
If you just want something completely custom in the vein of aokp or cm then just root or flash rogers prerooted in Odin to avoid tripping flash counter and then install custom recovery.
Never saw if you were rooted already. If so just flash an at&t custom ROM and use rogers APN.

Hi!
I got a SGH M919 (T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4) and I just can not find a stock Samsung ROM for it.
How do I debrand it and bring it to a non-branded version of ROM? I don't prefer custom ROMs so, is there any stock Samsung ROM out there which I can flash on this to get rid of the T-Mobile branding and all its apps?
p.s. I am not sure if this question has been raised before because I browsed through the forums but could not get an answer.
Short answer, yes. You could flash the international I9505 firmware. Just make sure modem and kernel is that of tmobile.
Yes the question have been raised before.

1) i9505 has the same hardware as the m919 so flashing the firmwares won't brick your phone. The radios, modems, etc, those are all different, which is why you need to flash a T-Mobile kernel after you're done flashing the i9505 firmware.
2) You are already on the MK2 modem/bb. You can flash one of the MANY kernels available. Check here and look for the threads that have the [KERNEL] tag in it. Simply download one of them to your phone, go into recovery, click on "Install zip from sdcard" and click on the file you downloaded. Most of the threads have instructions on how to do it if you're not too comfortable.
3) No, unlock is not firmware based. Flash any roms you want, just make sure you flash a tmo kernel afterwards.
Good luck and hope that helps.
Worth noting; whatever ROM you decide to flash, make sure you use a custom recovery to flash and not Odin. The Odin images for other carriers will likely brick the device because they come with the modem, radio, etc.

You won't have to worry about it if you're installing the ROM by itself. It won't be affected. As long as you just install a Tmo kernel and the ROM of your choice, you'll be good. The modem and etc are separate unless for some god awful reason the Dev decided to throw it all into one zip. I have never seen this nor do I think it even exists. When installing the ROM you won't have to worry about the modem. Dude, just make sure to do a backup and you'll be fine. Good luck

If the file ends with tar.md5 it's an Odin package and should be avoided. If it ends with .zip though it's CWM-flashable and, speaking for XDA's ROMs, won't include modem, baseband, bootloader, etc.

I actually prefer stock samsung ROMs over customs ROMs so I downloaded the one I mentioned from samfirware.
Now as for flashing a T-Mobile kernel is concerned, I was going through the kernels on xda and they all seem to be custom with tweaks done to the hardware clocks, etc. Is it possible to flash a 'stock' T-Mobile kernel on the 4.3?
Btw, I am not able to flash the stock ROM (in .zip format) that I downloaded from samfirware using CWM. It gives me this error: "Installing update... Installation aborted." How do I flash a stock ROM downloaded from samfirmware (using CWM)? I am being advised not to use ODIN (due modem etc issues), so what do i do? I reiterate, i don't prefer the custom ROMs.

Samfirmware downloads are in zip format and you have to extract them to get the .tar.md5 file. That .tar.md5 file HAS to be done through Odin. You can't use those in CWM. The CWM ones are the ones you find on these forums.

The point I'm trying to get across is to not use Odin to flash anything that's not specifically meant for your device. It looks like he's trying to use the stock Odin-flashable firmwares for the i9505 which would be bad... Any of the CWM-flashable ROMs in the i9505 (not i9500) are good to go.

You are absolutely correct. I don't think he understands the difference between the two... :crying:
Um, guys, my question still seems to be unanswered: since samfirmware roms are not cwm flashable, WHERE do i find non-odin flashable stock rom? Is it even possible? I downloaded samfirmware stock rom because of the very first reply to my thread which mentioned it.
And my second question: is there a stock t mobile kernel i can use instead of the custom 'tweaked' ones?
Forget about the firmware you downloaded from sammobile it will brick your device go to the i9505 section here in XDA and download one from there and then flash it in CWM then the Tmo kernel and your done.

Im sorry, but i dont have any experience with the ROM you want to use.
kinda surprised about them asking you to flash a kernel, most of the other ROMs for i747M, you dont have to flash a kernel.
I've been using CynogenMod for a year now and nothing else, i haven't had to deal with bootloaders or kernels.
But the instructions for that ROM are a little bit confusing, maybe you should ask for some help on that ROM thread.
Im still new to this as well, and im not comfortable with giving you instructions about this. i hope someone can help you with that.
However i know for sure, that you can ONLY flash i747m modems. Sometimes people try out different ones (older and newer) if
one of them doesn't work.
I assume that you have rooted your phone already. If not I would recommend to read and follow Mr Robinsons thread to flashing the Canadian I747M. Worked great for me. The MJB is not for this phone. It will brick if you install that bootloader on a Canadian 747M.

If your phone has factory 4.3 you can not downgrade to a lower version as the KNOX functionality that is built into the 4.3 bootloader will prevent the flashing of a prior version.
You can still root with stock factory 4.3 but you'll need to either trip the KNOX counter or use one of the more involved methods. Is there a reason you are trying to flash such an early version?

what that is referring to is the bootloader. which currently can not be downgraded. install a custom recovery and you can flash rom zips not images. most roms do not have a bootloader in the zip so there will be no conflict

N7105, i317, and SGH-T889 ROMs are usually OK. Don't flash another device's modem. There is a whole mess of ROM options out there.
Make certain your APN is correct in other carrier designated ROMs. Don't flash recovery from automated recovery installers as they will not put the correct version in unless you are on a ROM with the correct build prop settings for the SGH-T889 (if your using a Tmo US device).

I was more referring to ROM Manager and Goo Manager. ROMs that flash modems are atypical. Usually they leave you with a choice to install one of a couple choices or leave it as is. Sometimes they don't.
You may be able to find the 4.3 modem appropriate to your device around here somewhere. That will work much better than the 4.1.1 if you can get it to stick.

I flashed the wind 4.1.1 modem with mobile odin but i still have a "no network" icon. ill try to find a 4.3 wind modem and flash that. hopefully i havent bricked my modem, i thought this rom would be cross compatible. damn...
EDIT: I used mattlowry's 4.3 wind modem above, but still "no network" icon (the one that looks like a no smoking sign. not really sure what to do now. i was told this rom would work but i guess not. hopefully if i flash back to a t889v firmware i can get my modem working again....
any advice?

You could mobile Odin the stock image from sammobile or the root66 to flash everything but the bootloader. Kies recovery could maybe work. T889V is stubborn with modems IIRC. Teshx had problems with this very problem quite sometime ago IIRC.
This fits in my "this is a problem" category, backup and save your data.

yeah i did some wiping in recovery and managed to soft brick my phone, then using pc odin to flahs a stock image got my phone back to life and showed signal bars again, then i flashed the custom recovery back on. so at least i know i can save my modem when i do this again. i then tried replacing the modem.bin files in the dn3 istall zip with t889v modem.bin files, tried reflashing it with the new modem.bins but it still gives me the no network symbol instead of signal bars.
Hey guys
I installed a nightly of CM11 a while ago and it broke my LTE. The consensus is that you need to install a stock-based ROM, then flash back to CM11 to get LTE working again.
I have flashed an MK5 modem, but am unsure of my bootloader compatibility with the current TouchWiz ROM's out there.
I am on the MF1 bootloader (Canadian phone). Do I need to upgrade/downgrade my bootloader to install any of these TW ROM's? Or can I just flash between TW and CM11 to my heart's consent?
The ROM's say you must be running a 4.3 modem and bootloader...but I can't find any info on whether or not MF1 is a 4.3 bootloader or not?
Thanks,
Elliott

I haven't tried cm11 yet but using c-rom I had these problems. under settings-mobile networks-preferred network type, check to see the right network is selected. If you don't have these options then my apologies.

MF1 is 4.1.2. The latest Canadian bootloader is MK5 (Which you can't downgrade from).

Well usually you need the same modem as your bootloaders. Some of them are really picky so having the MK5 might be why your LTE isn't working.
You can grab the stock ROM in the general stickies and flash it with Odin though (make sure to backup) if flashing a 4.1.2 modem doesn't fix it.

Okay. What I'm most concerned about is flashing a 4.3 TW ROM with the bootloader that I have. Is having a bootloader from 4.1.2 a bad thing? Or can I install all ROM's with MF1?

Only the downgrade is dangerous, you can upgrade without any problem. That being said, you could just flash the stock 4.1.2.
And if I flash a stock based ROM will it upgrade my bootloader to one I won't be able to downgrade from?
Any suggestions for ROM's?

It depends which one you decide to flash. You can flash stock 4.1.2 just like you could flash 4.3 (which you can't downgrade from).
