Unzip and put file into PDA in ODIN and flash away! If you need ODIN, it is attached below.
*WARNING* DO NOT CHECK RE-PARTITION OR ANYTHING ELSE. ONLY AUTO-REBOOT AND F. RESET TIMER SHOULD BE CHECKED.
If you need more information about this file and what it is/what to do with it, read the stickies at the top of this forum to learn more about ODIN and what it is used for. This file is provided mostly for people who like me who prefer to odin a stock rom and tweak it themselves. It will also prove INVALUABLE from here on out for when you need to unroot your phone (send into t-mobile/samsung, just want it un-rooted).
IF YOU WANT ROOT:
I also attached the latest superuser and CWM recovery for those who want to root.
Put the recovery.tar in the pda slot and flash for CWM recovery.
Then install the attached superuser inside CWM recovery to have full root!
FYI: It's a known issue that superuser usually does not "stick" on the first try. This is with ANY ROM for our phones. Just keep flashing it (usually 2 to 3 times)until it says installation complete.
THIS WILL NOT AFFECT YOUR DOWNLOAD/FLASH COUNTER (+)

NO, it clearly says ODIN on top.
Mr. X is making the flashable zip.
Powered by the SGSII

Nope i believe Mr. X is making that as we speak. This is for a full ODIN flash.

rooted?

Can't wait for your link, can I use CWM to flash? Is the firmware already rooted or
factory fresh one?

Wow you guys...just wow...
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Will be factory fresh. Will be like any other stock rom, not rooted. Root it via odin like we have always done for all of our roms. I think it's best to just leave completely intact so we always have an option to get our phones back to 100% factory. The CW flashable zips and rooted custom roms are on their way.

You should've seen this coming dude ! Lol

An odin file is just that: an odin file. No offense if you knew what an ODIN file was you wouldn't be asking.
Whenever the upload finishes in 15 minutes or so, i will make a short description to go with it.

In addition to the fact that this flashes a kernel modem and recovery which pass and do not trigger the flash count. All i need to see to consider this official. If thats an issue for you then http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1639

Never said it was an issue. I am saying the only reason this does not add to your counter is due to the fact that it is Signed by Samsung for installation through Odin. It is in fact official due to this fact but is not confirmed an official OTA as of yet thus not being the official final release that will be OTA until we confirm this information. It may or may not be, just correcting this information to what we know until further notice.

Well even if there were updates made to it before it was pushed out i think its safe to `say this will be the go-to tar for unbricking and what-not. Highly unlikely Samsung will make another tar after this. I mean other than this the only other legit odin tar for the phone is the LEN tar and look how outdated that is. Plus the modem thing. The phone refuses to flash any modem that is not LEN. (or LJ7)
LF9 LG2 LG8 and LI3 will all fail when attempting to flash with odin. This and the first LEN are the only ones to pass on that. And this comes with a new recovery as well. Which also wont trip the counter. Which means the tar contains signed images in it, unlike the other leaks. Just too much that points to this being the one. Regardless I guess we'll see but in the mean time, call it what you want. Or ask sextape i did link that tar at the bottom of my post.

So will this wipe everything? And if I read right, it comes with a recovery too right?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

New Recovery yes. As far as wiping I cant confirm. Seems like half said yes other half said no. I cant specify because i flashed it with Nand wipe checked and I repartitioned so naturally mine was wiped regardless. If your worried about it wiping then uncheck auto-reboot and pull the battery when its done. Leave it off for a few seconds and you should skip recovery when you turn it back on.

yo guys does it matter what rom we are on or can we just run the .exe? im on miui right now. should i go back to a tw rom first? thanks guys
ps ive hardbricked one s3 when i first got it like a dumbass so i just wanna make sure!

Dont think it matters i would boot into recovery and do a wipe first tho

Need some help guys!?

My friends has a gs3 he purchased on release day and rooted it. The past week he accepted two ota's which broke his root. So I'm trying to root it for him but here's where the confusion kicks in. On sprints website it actually show these updates are old and not new and there's two more recent ones he never got pushed to him. Right now the phone is on LG2 and won't update any further. What do I need to do to be up to date with root. Should I just look for a way to root this build or try updating it. By the way I haven't seen any root methods for this build which is why I'm asking. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds :beer:

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

The method he used to root it in the first place should work again. Try that.
Then once it's rooted again go to this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099
Download the file "LI3 STOCK WITH AUTO COUNTER RESET" in the first post and flash the file in recovery. That will put the phone to 100%stock, unrooted, on the latest build.
From that point, if he wants to, he can reroot the phone and install the latest TWRP recovery. After that, tell him not to accept any OTA updates. Come back here to the development forum and someone will have the update in flashable form so that root isn't lost.

Yup thats the most easy way of doing it. you say ur not rooted but do you have custom recovery? If so then re rooting before the flash wouldn't be necessary.
It will not wipe data however its recommended that you do. granted it will probably work just fine if it being installed over top of a stock Rom. Then to keep root/recovery just follow the instructions in the post

I'm not sure if he has a custom recovery but I'm assuming if he was able to accept ota's and install them fine he must have stock recovery. I'll have to check and see a lil later as he's at work now.

Sprints update system sucks......As for odin, you select the file you want to flash and click start......pretty stupid proof if you ask me. There is a .tar for the most recent update and the jellybean leak available in the development section.

Yes it is stupid proof but it also makes you have to take an extra step to reset the count. On my phone I just deal with the Odin OC which don't mess with your counts and come rooted then mobile Odin for the rest. Never have to worry about a flash count. But anyways thanks for all the help guys! I'm going to try and get this done tonight. Even though we both going for the note 2 in just a matter of days

Samsung launches firmware update for Galaxy S4

Once the firmware is installed, users will have the ability to offload their app installs to the SD card. That's especially important for 16GB device owners who were upset to find that they had just 9.15GB of usable space on the device's storage. Moving apps to the SD card can save some of the needed space. Samsung has also found a way to squeeze another 0.08GB of space on the device's drive, according to SamMobile, which was first to report on the news.
In addition to handling the storage issue, the software update for the Galaxy S4 includes a host of fixes and improvements, including the ability to record HDR video and a fix for the purple effect users were seeing when scrolling through pages.
Source: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57587984-94/samsung-launches-firmware-update-for-galaxy-s4/

I though this was for the international version only?

I believe the update is for German version of S4 only.

Nah, T-mobile DID send me the update, the very day i purchased my phone, like May 7th or 8th, I had the incremental update that i noticed changed my transparent notification bar to like charcoal black. I had noted the dates as April 26 before the update, and May 6-7 on the newer update.
It's just I decided to try CF Auto-Root, once i realized i just wanted things back to the way i had it, yes, I BOUGHT triangle away, ran the reset flash counter, saw my status on rom read custom, so i flashed the official stock tar by odin and now it says i'm on official.
Issue now is, although my counter is at 0, and the status says official, won't ota to may 7th. I will try Samsung Kies though.
Edit: Even Samsung Kies Reports i'm up to date, which, i suppose I am for the most part, but still not up to date with the incremental May 7th release.

Which official tar did you Odin? If it was the MDL build that is the may 7 update so that's why your phone would say up to date.

I got so used to seeing the kernel get updated whenever a new update rolls out on my old phone that I had no idea the may 7th update didn't bring a newer kernel.
Yes. I have MDL on baseband/modem and on the build number. Thing that was throwing me off was paying attention to the kernel version as Friday, April 26, also, i could of sworn the homescreen status bar isn't supposed to be transparent, but mine is, looking back at how it wasn't transparent before last time i was on the may 7th build, now that it's transparent on some things, i just got really confused. might of been the old background i had before, seeing to it that it's clear on homescreen now, and charcoal black when i open settings.

What I did to get an I9505 Odin build on my M919 was just flash the firmware, wait for it to fail at modem, then odin flash the UVUAMDL modem. Reboot and everything is perfect (except the Samsung Knox modified notification, of course).

[Q] Sgh-i747 official 4.4.2

Hey, so I have a Sgh-i747 (s3 American version).And it seems like at&t is starting to roll out the 4.4.2 for almost two months now and I never had the update. So I went to the Samsung firmware site to check if I can download the 4.4. 2 from there and just flash it by Odin, I did find the firmware there but it said it's for. Canadian model). So I am asking if I can flash my phone with that firmware? I hope to get an answer.

Everything you need is in the General section. There are 3 or 4 threads that will help you update. Enewman17's seems to have a good success rate so id start there.

Can you give me a link please?

err on the side of kindness

That's just the rom I think which is fine. But if you want to fully update, this is one of the threads I was referring to.

There's another by enewman17 right next to it (for now) that would also work.

Do you know if Newman's method trips Knox or the warranty bit? I am trying to get back to 100% bone stock so I can get the OTA update, but I want to leave my warranty intact at 0.

Thx I'll give it a try right away!
Does it include the latest TouchWiz?

You'll need Odin if you don't wanna trip.

Using ODIN doesn't trip it? Didn't know that, good to know. What version of ODIN do I use with enewman's 4.3 tar file in order to not trip my warranty bit?

Use Odin 3.07 or 3.09.

I used ODIN 3.07 and flashed enewman's 4.3 tar file with it and it worked like a charm! I am back to 100% bone stock now and can get the OTA. It didn't trip my warranty bit or anything else. Everything in download mode says "official" and 0. Thanks DocHoliday!
