ye, it is tmobile version i am tired and made a typo - corrected thnks and gnite

my phone came with this firmware. is this just posted to revert to stock if on a custom rom or is there other significance?

Has anyone tried flashing yet?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

So this must mean we can flash fash back to stock with odin if we have problems.

yup! this is our fall back ROM. now we need a triangle away to reset the counter!

It Works
I decided to be the test monkey on this one.
I had a nandroid backup of when I screwed my system so badly it just boot looped repeatedly. Restored that with cwm, verified it was still hosed, unpacked this zip, used odin to burn the .tar.md5 to the phone as PDA, rebooted.
It does some gear chunking while booting the first time then reboots - don't panic yet! On second boot it does some more rebuilding, then 'WELCOME!'
Bonus: CWM now sees the actual external sdcard as /sdcard and can find things like roms and backups on it. Edit: This CWM finds .zips on the sdcard, but doesn't seem to know how to backup/restore.

So is this for un rooting our phones?

What do you mean "This CWM" ? The tars we're talking about in this thread are completely stock from samsung, there is no CWM in these... please elaborate.

After burning this with Odin I ended up with a CWM that I didn't expect - and I've never seen one that actually recognized the external card. However, with all the things I've been trying it's quite possible I ended up burning a boot image I forgot about. I need to try reburning this and see if anything changes, but can't do it right now.

Mine stock is T999UVLEM, whats the difference between the two?

does this restore everything, including stock recovery, but resetting the counter?

Strange - I had kind of a weird experience with this. I flashed via Odin as usual (as I've done a 100x before) and when it rebooted, it still had remnants of the previous rom I had installed. I didn't get the "welcome" screen as if I was starting from a new factory rom. but at least it got me back to step 1 and I could flash the Lean 2.1 rom again to repair my screw ups.

[Q] HELP!!!! D2TMO encryption failure

ok so last night I decided to try out the encryption option on my t mobile t999 and all went like it was supposed to. It rebooted a couple times like it said it would then when it rebooted to put in pin I entered the pin it started decrypting. I left it for 4 hours well it wouldn't work so I pulled battery and retried and left it go well it hung for hours. I proceeded to try a factory reset and it kept failing at the /data "cannot mount"... I tried wiping the internal SD it too failed. so now im trying to odin the "official stock" image it keeps getting hung at the "NOH-HLOS.bin" for HOURS anyone with anything please help me out

Can you boot into the system at all? If so can you install any apps?
Are you rooted?
If yes to all try Mobile Odin to flash, may be able to work around the problem....im not sure.
Otherwise try using goo or rom manager to install recovery and then flash another rom.
Not sure any of thatll work, just some suggestions.

I think what you mean to ask is, In download mode you get failed errors in Odin trying to flash a stock fw and encryption errors when flashing a rom via twrp. Post your pics of errors you are getting in the thread hopefully someone has an answer for you. iv'e been trying to help but im baffled, seems nothing will write to his internal on the phone. is this considered a brick even if you can still get into download mode or recovery?
EDIT: here are pics of errors twanskys204 is getting in odin and twrp. even after factory reset or wipes of caches from encryption error still no boot.

If your using a PIT file, tick "re-partition" in odin. It will 100% wipe the device. like factory. That should fix your error.

Edit sorry wrong question

Part of your problem is your flashing att firmware on a Canadian carrier phone. Try the right firmware. They are close, but not close enough.

Okay that being said. I can get into cwm. I see my external no internal. When I flash dagr8s rom it says complete and boots to Samsung splash screen then it gives me that encryption issue.. I'm at the point where I think I'm out of a note 2 but I don't know I'm 16 days into the purchase... Of well I guess this was an 800 dollar mistake on my part. To all the newbies out there plzz plzz read and understand b4 u flash.

No, the link is for a Captivate thread on encryption errors. It says that in the first sentence of the OP. The thread link is merely to help point you on a direction to start looking for what happened. It is not posted with the intent to offer a solution, merely more information.
Also, did you flash Canadian firmware on your Canadian phone, instead of Att firmware on your Canadian phone?

Ok first off in Odin. You only want that file in the PDA section.
Did you make a nandroid of your stock rooted before flashing dagr8's ROM? If so restore that. If not. Download a stock rooted one and get your phone working again.
What link did you DL his ROM from? Mine kept failing and had success from mirror 2
Also did you follow all the instruction about root??? It says make sure repartition isn't- IS NOT - checked!!!!
Edit: after rereading I see you were already rooted. If our can get to recovery. What about a data reset. Might work

Thats correct re partition needs to be enabled when going to stock when using a .pit file in odin. The i317m was released oct 30 so hence the reason he had it longer as I do the same

Well, they were released on the 9th. so impossible to have it that long, unless you have the Bell?rodgers version. Not sure when those came out. Also. SORRY for trying to help. it didn't look like you followed any of the instructions. reading the post I linked you too, doesn't have you flashing 5 files in Odin at any time.... EVER! If you truly want to unroot your phone..... READ AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! It helps so much. We were all noobs once, just read and reread.

Not that I know of. If you can get to download mode you are still OK. Can you get into recovery?
If you can this is the Att stock image recovery. This should be the only file you need to get back to a working phone. I didn't see one for bell/Rogers.

Lost Recovery During Flash

I have the TMO S3. I was attempting to flash the latest Deviant Xone rom when this happened.
Ok, here's my Monday dilemma.
I just deleted the old file, and downloaded a fresh one (this new version). I had also went into recovery and had did a wipe of system and rom. I had just cleared the cache twice, when the TWRP screen popped up. The phone then rebooted, and only gets to the "deviant" boot screen.
I have tried to boot back into recovery, but it just gets to the TWRP screen, then reboots back to system, but still only gets to the deviant boot screen. I have done numerous battery pulls trying to get into recovery, but I think that for some reason, the phone has deleted my recovery.
Where do I go from here?

Use the links in my signature to either reflash TWRP with Odin, or flash CWM.

It's in his signature like he said, and in the forum discussed a many times. It shouldn't have deleted your recovery either way, haven't seen much of that. This is a great detailed explanation, just use T-Mo firmware, odin packages are the same though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722686

Yea, that's what I'm doing now. Just making sure I understand what I'm doing before I attempt to do it.

Ok, the first thing is when I connect to odin, the box that is supposed to be yellow is green. I still went ahead and did the procedure and it did say pass in the box. But the pc is not seeing the phone.
Also, when the phone rebooted, it rebooted to that Deviant boot screen still.

what are the buttons you are pressing? Did you see my first post I made in the thread you posted in originally?

Vol up, power and home buttons. It does go to the recovery logo ( Teamwin ), but then reboots back to the deviant boot logo screen.

Odin CWM. If still happening, Odin stock rom.

That was it. For some reason, my phone wasn't accepting TWRP, but CWR worked. It's flashing the older version of Deviant now. Big Thanks to you and the others for your help. I'm still puzzled though why it would just delete itself like that though.

Could have definitely been the file then, wonder if that is a known thing with the ODIN twrp...

Not sure, but until I know, I'll stick with CWR though I like TWRP much better. Even so, I installed my original TWRP through Goo, and not through odin. I didn't do that until about 3 weeks after I rooted.

In any case, thanks to you as well. I've already flashed the latest Deviant, and in the process of reinstalling the apps through TB. Now my next quest is to try to find a stable kernel. I'm hoping that yesterday was the result of a bad download, as I did download the rom during that slow time goo.im was having. It took almost 45 minutes. It may have gotten corrupted during that extended period.

You are talking in circles, it's impossible for ODIN to display "PASS" if the pc is not recognizing your phone . LOL

First, if you would have read the posts, the issue was resolved.
Next, also if you would have read, you would have saw that I said the box that was supposed to be yellow. The pass box is never yellow, but the smaller one under it when you first connect.
Now I don't mean to be rude or anything, but maybe you should learn to read before commenting. There are any number of adult educational programs.

Hey fellow XDA-ers
Quick question. There are a lot of threads about ppl who have managed to get their SGH-T989D into "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in KIES & try again"
Lots of the response thread deal with either flashing the stock rom or another rom or a recovery or something. But that's not my question.
My question is this: Is data that was previously on the device still intact? I can tell you that no attempt to flash the device was made.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, as long as it happens while install is in progress u can get it back, most of the time what happens is a bad flash with Odin or still having kies running in background while using Odin, happened to me, like an idiot I moved, phone fell from desk and unplugged itself mid flash, I was able to flash twrp and when it rebooted it was right where I left it, contacts apps everything, now if ur flashing a rom with Odin maybe not as Odin wipes the phone when flashing a rom, but this mostly happens to ppl when trying to root and install a custom recovery, which is a very easy fix, maybe I'll post a how to.....
