[Q] Unable to flash Stock ROM

I bought a T-Mobile Galaxy S 3 LTE with model number SGH-T999L. I used Odin V3 1.85 to flash TWRP recovery and CyanogenMod 10.0.0.
Everything went well but my camera doesn't work. On launching the camera, I get a "Can't connect to camera" error and it quits. The same behavior is observed when using other camera apps. I tried the instructions in this thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239414) but it did not fix my problem. I now want to go back to my stock ROM. I successfully downloaded and flashed stock recovery using Odin. However, Odin fails when I try to flash the stock ROM obtained from the samsung website. It gives me a "write failed" error and stops. Any tips or suggestions to help me out would be appreciated. Thanks

Is it supposed to use T999 firmware?

Only odin flash T999L firmware. I dont see it released yet at samsing-updates.com though.
Maybe samfirmware.com? I can look later.

Why not reflash the stock ODIN flash rom and make sure it all works ok for you, that will tell you exactly what the problem is.
If the stock rom is working properly, then there is only one thing left which is the culprit and that is the CM10/AOKP/AOSP
or PORTED roms which many people seem to like flashing.
The CM10/AOKP/AOSP and ported roms are excellent if you are a developer or if you like to do a lot of experimentation with your phone.
So the thing to do now is reboot your phone to recovery mode, do a "Factory Reset", "Wipe Cache", "Wipe System" and "Wipe Dalvik".
When that's done Open Odin and put the stock rooted T999 Tmobile Jellybean 4.1.2 into Odin's PDA slot, go into download mode
and once you see Odin is connected to the phone start the flash. Have patience for the phone to boot after its done flashing.
Here is the stock rooted Odin flash T999 Tmobile Jellybean 4.1.2 rom that you can download if you like: T999_UVDMD5
Official JB Firmware - Latest JB 4.1.2 Firmware
My suggestion to you is to only flash Samsung T999 Tmobile stock based Jellybean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 roms in the future.
But who am I to say whats best..... This is just my personal opinion...... Which usually is not worth a dime. LOL

Sorry, but untill we know more about it, I would not flash T999 firmware onto the T999L.
Its only been out a day and tgey are different model phones with different hardware.
If you decide to try anyway, please post your results

I am a newbie. I thought the T999 was the same as the T999L. That would explain why Odin doesnt flash stock T999 onto my device. Can anyone here post a link to the stock SGH-T999L ROM?

Just did a quick check and I dont see that the firmware has been made available for download yet.
If you want stock I would flash one of the stock based custom roms via recovery for now.
Out of curiosity, what is your current baseband version?

I had the same issue with the same phone. Got it 2 weeks ago haha. Did you happen to make a backup first using CWM Recovery? If so, you can just restore that backup and you'll have your camera functionality back. It's pretty annoying switching back and forth from CM10.1 back to stock just to take pictures but Rom manager makes it pretty quick and effortless.

Actually now that I think of it, they prob wont release the original firmware. Seems like the first build is never available, only when an update is released do we get firmware we csn download.
I am working with another member on getting something going for the T999L, but right now we are stuck until a verified safe method of rooting is found. (Dont want to flash a recovery or cf autoroot w/o knowing it wont screw something up)
Itll happen, but we just gotta be patient.
Just reread the op and see that you say you flashed TWRP. So you were able to initially gain root without any problems?

I used Odin to flash Clockwork Mod recovery first. I did not like Clockwork Mod's interface and reflashed with TWRP. I had no problems to gain root with either of these methods. I also tried Cyanogenmod stable 10.0.0 and then 10.1 RC2 without any problems. As far as I can tell, all apps work except for the camera. One word of caution though. As you can see from my posts, I am new and dont know what I am doing. I might have just gotten lucky since my device is still unbricked. I had only one "scary" moment during the entire process. I used TWRP to wipe my phone clean and was stuck with no OS install file. ADB sideload did not work since it could not recognize the device at that point. Luckily, I had a micro SD card lying around and was able to put in a new OS install file using my laptop and then TWRP was able to handle it.

Wish I had made a backup! Could you zip up the files contained inside "/system/cameradata/" folder and post a link here? It would help me and anyone else with the same problem restore the camera's functionality. In case you want to try it out, follow the instructions in this link but using the files from your stock backup

Good Luck!

How did you get Cyanogenmod installed on the t999l every time i try it aborts with status 7

Mine was failing with this same error. I reverted back to stock, re rooted, then downloaded the flash directly to the phones internal storage. Worked like a champ. I think in my case, there is an issue with the SD card, its kind of old.

You reverted to stock on the T999L? please exspain how that was done

Re flashed stock ROM using Odin. I believe I got the file from Samsung's website, but I'm not positive of that. I do know its huge, over 1 gig. If you need help with the re flash I know there are already how to's on here about that, so I won't go into it here.

[Q] Boost mobile galaxy s3 not workig after flashing a rom

This is my first post. Whenever i try to flash a sprint version of any rom on my gs3 from boost my LTE doesn't work. The only way my data will work is if i switch it to CDMA which means no 4g. I even tried dialing ##72786# to reset my data connection but that didn't work either. Does anyone know of a solution to this?

I was wondering did you flash stock Sprint rom first? Also did you have to do the MMS fix? I am trying to flash a custom rom for my mothers new S3 but I am not really too sure about it since it is on Boost. If I wanted to flash back to stock, would I just use the stock Sprint firmware again? Did you flash 4.3 or an earlier version? I heard that the new 4.3 update has the Knox built in like the newer devices but not too sure if what I read was correct

That's correct. If your data doesn't work you'll have to change your APN settings since most of these ROMs are for the sprint s3 and not the boost mobile. I flash ROMs a lot and sometimes the data work so I won't have to change my APN. If you need help with that I can help

thanks very much for your reply, you are the right person ive been looking for about a month now. i have downloaded a sprint stock rom JB 4.3 from sammobile for which id be flashing to my new boost mobile s3.
the essence here is am in Ghana with this device and obviously i have to change carrier because i cant have boost service here. My phone is still fresh in box and locked for that matter (only upgraded to JB 4.3 OTA). I would just like to unlock it for NAM configuration any help? Do i realy need to flash a sprint rom first?
version (*#1234#)
AP: L710VPUBMK5
CP: L710VPUBMK5
CSC: L710SPTBMK5
PLS HELP ME UNLOCK THIS DEVICE

I really don't know how to unlock a phone but I wouldn't mess with your phone since you did the OTA update to get 4.3. You have Knox now and that's bad to have. You can mess your phone up and void your warranty if you do anything with that knox

4.3 clean root on SGH-I317M on Build JSS15J.I317MVLUCMK5

Ok so this is what i did to root my Telus Device SGH-I317M on Build JSS15J.I317MVLUCMK5
I started with a factory reset from backup and reset dont think this is necessary but nice to do with a clean isntall
once that was done i turned off the device and booted into download mode volume down + home + power
opened ODIN 3.09 and added the CF-Auto-Root-t0ltecan-t0ltevl-sghi317m.tar.md5 to the AP section. then clicked start. once done the device restarts back to normal and the root is applied, but during that KNOX detects it and disables it from working.
plug device into computer and ran Kies 3 and ran a firmware upgrade and initialization. took about 20 minutes.
once phone started you will notice superSU is no longer on your system.
TEST FOR THIS PART... PROBABLY not necessary but i did this and this is what happened.
run KNOX and allow it to Install. once done it will ask you to add passwords and at the end it will say it is not compatible with this device or whatever. KNOX has now terminated its warrenty or what not and will not install.
i did not have an update for superSU on Google Play but i DID have the update on Aptoide. so i updated it and ran the program.
program told me it was no longer on the device saying the libraries or whatever were not there.
so i ran Odin and ran AP again and ran it once it was done phone started and no messages and superSU worked.
because now that you factory loaded from kies for some reason it knows you attempted it the first time that now knox will not work
not quite sure how that works or if its even relevant. but when you see in the download mode it says warrenty void 1 or whatever and the knox crap its all disabled now i am guessing because i got no problems or messages once i finished it all
so step by step.
STEP 1. put in download mode and run odin 3.09 load AP and make sure Auto reboot and F. reset time are the only ones with check marks and then click START.
STEP 2 Once device reboots you will get errors and knox blocking it. this is normal. (for me it was anyway) open Kies 3 and do firmware upgrade and initialization. depending on internet connection this could take some time. you may be able to Odin the firmware but i chose kies 3
STEP 3 Once system restore from Kies is done open KNOX and install it. should fail and say not available for this device. (happened on my device)
STEP 4 either run aptoide and download the update for superSU tho you dont see it, its still there. open that will tell you to re do the root process again.
STEP 5 run odin 3.09 load AP and make sure Auto reboot and F. Reset Time are the only ones with check marks and then click start.
STEP 6 once device has started download root checker from the google play store and test. should say success.
i did at first after i root checked it with success i rebooted the device and started it up then opened superSU asked me to download binaries i pressed back by accident and then it said knox detected would you like to try and disable knox. select yes. and then success
you are rooted and no more notifications.
THESE ARE THE STEPS THAT I DID TO ROOT MY DEVICE FOR THE SPECIFIC MODEL AND BUILD so results may differ from others. so far its worked on my SGH-I317M TELUS phone running virgin mobile sim
Hope everyone else has as much success as i did.

If you just want a custom rom all you really need to do is update the bootloader or already be on 4.3 official then just boot into download mode use Odin 1.85 to flash twrp recovery wipe your data and flash the rom you want. Or just update to official use chain fire auto root and just update supersu it will disable Knox.

Thanks but I am not that keen on getting the official rom. For one I hate using kies, it was a mess when i tried to update with my old s3, so I have not used it at all. Plus I have tons of stuff on my current phone that i would need to restore after things are done.
Also, i'd rather not having to deal with knox if i can, even though the phone is out of first yr warranty period. I have always used custom roms on my note 2 and s3 so i will leave at that for now.

The main reason to use a custom rom is to remove all carrier related stuff on your phone. It also let's you add different mods and features you want. For example you can use the note 3 roms. Pretty much turn your phone into a note 3.

Right now you just need to flash the rom then devil kernel and the 317m modem. Don't worry you won't brick. I would wait for tomorrow to flash because it will be updated and it might have all the options for the 317m. I have a 317 myself

alright ill wait till tomorrow. and hopefully i find a detailed description on how to do all this. ive only ever ran the s1 because it was bricked had to run all the modem the pda and pit or whatever a long time ago so my minds gone all fresh on the rooting and flashing roms. ive only ever run stock roms. but for 4.4 i want to get it on my device because i love the group play video and the screen recording and the other few things that are awesome on the note 3
unless there is a way to get all that on the 4.3 note 2 firmware that would be awesome as well

i317m - no mobile data with CF-auto root zip file in odin
I guess I have done enough reading to be dangerous. I wish there was a comprehensive glossary for this stuff.
Anyhow - through ODIN I have flashed CF-Auto-Root-t0ltecan-t0ltevl-sghi317m - and today I have no mobile data.
Where could I find an image to go back to the original phone and start again? It is an i317m Note2 from Bell

Where could I find an image to go back to the original phone and start again? It is an i317m Note2 from Bell
Thanks

If you're rooted can you flash a custom rom and see if that fixed your issue?

Have to take my phone in for diagnostic test tomorrow. what is the proper stock rom t

I'd prefer one that doesn't involve KNOX

The best thing to do is flash back to stock MG2(if you're on Boost/VM) or MD4 if you're on Sprint, via an Odin Tar. Before you do that, if you're rooted, run triangle away, then flash. That will wipe everything except your sd card, including root. There are tars of both floating around. Try android forums if you can't find them here. Good luck.

dont forget to tell them NOT to update your phone to mk3...... if you plan to re root and what not.
also diagnostics can be run on any revision so which one you load doesnt really matter other than for the keeping up apperances. but i can tell you from personall experiance that 1> they dont have to update to do the diagnostic and 2> most wont bat an eye even if your running LEN and best place to get stock rom one clicks is from rwilcos12's site

Use a full restore as it will crash constantly since you are coming off cm or aosp. Also remember you will need to be on md4 to flash back to custom once you diag. Is done so its kind of time saving just to Odin the MD4 1 click full restore then just go in.. BTW why are you going in for the diag any way? Don't worry about loading any apps other than what you'll use as I have had them full restore my phones to "fix it"

i can't use the one-click since I have a Mac, so I'm going to have to use Heimdall (always an adventure). I can't receive texts, and Sprint has no clue why, so they want me to have diagnostics run. It's really weird, i can make and receive calls, send and receives MMS, use my data to surf the web, etc. and even send texts, but I can't receive them.

Happened to me once when i was with att. Funny thing was it was caused by Verizon categorizing my number as a landline. I guess we uses so many of Verizon's towers that it completely screwed me up lol.

A little while ago I was intrigued by rooting my phone and possibly trying something different. At the moment it is rooted and I ran into a few problems. I have no idea what I am doing but I have a fairly good mind set as long as I am taught by doing. I am mostly hands on with this and reading anything at this point isn't helping. When I rooted my phone I ran into a few issues but managed to fix a few things on my own. Gallery stopped working but got that fixed and snote does not work now. I am assuming it will not work due to Knox. I guess what I am looking to do is understand fully the ways to flash the proper things and how. So far all I have done is rooted using cl auto root then I found a stock Rom which I flashed after and so far no other than snote. At the time I wanted to obtain note 3 apps like air command. Now that 4.4.2 or whatever is coming out I am stuck at what to do. I am also trying to learn and do it the right way. Slow is good. I appreciate the reach out and thanks again.

No worries.
Let's start with KitKat, the next version of firmware to be pushed out whenever ATT feels like it.
The phone needs to be totally stock, non-rooted, no custom recovery, all the original apps. If it's not, the Over The Air update will fail, Usually not a problem since within a week or two one of our gurus gets the files and builts a flashable zip file.
When you flash a ROM it usually with just contain the /system directory. That's the guts of the ROM. Has the apps, ROM properties, it's where the super user command lives.
You can download a ROM. Use unzip and look at the files in there. If a zip file has kernel.img or modem.img the builder has included the modem file, which drives network connections. And the kernel file, which I consider the heart of the ROM.
There are two main custom recovery options. TWRP and CWM.
Here's a good guide for TWRP.
http://www.addictivetips.com/android/what-is-twrp-how-to-install-use-it-on-android-devices-guide/
Explains flashing. backing up your ROM, restoring, etc. A must read.
Here's a guide I wrote that explains how to got back to the original stock ROM the Note 2 shipped with, and getting it back to the 4.3 OTA.
Another good read. But I may be a touch biased.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618447
Since you did the CF-ROOT, you know how to use ODIN, You can flash TWRP from ODIN. Instructions are in my guide.
As Knox hosed up Note 2, I doubt it. If you want to practice, read the TWRP guide. Then read my guide, go to Post #3. Do option 2. You will flash TWRP, then download one of the stock ROMs built by one of the gurus I mentioned above.
That will get you rooted and should fix your SNote issues.

I know at this point it will fail as I am rooted and if one try to do an update it says I messed with it. I will read your guides above and see what I can make of it. Using Odin was fairly simple but still curious as to which place to put the files in Odin and is it better to put files on ex's card, sdcard or do it from pc

A majority of the flashes in ODIN require the files in PDA. Any deviation from that will hopefully be stated in the instructions.
I'm not sure what you mean by this ?

Are you still talking about ODIN? If so from PC......

Yes sorry... I have mobile Odin as well which if I am not mistaken allows you to do the same. Or is it strictly for seeing what you have flashed?

Not sure. I strictly use the PC version. Like what's in my guide. The ODIN 3.07 I think I posted.

Before I go to far here. I just wanted to clarify a few things. I have ai317m which is Rogers Canadian note 2. I am not sure if this makes any difference or not with twrp or the toms u were referring to in your guide. I guess for now let's see if I can get it back to stock so I can for now get back to New Jurkat update. I meant to mention since I had flashed a stock Rom after cfauto that the battery and speed has been great. I can run like 2 to 3 days without charging.
Anyways I am looking at guide now and trying to figure out which one I am supposed to use. Oh and I believe I have twrp installed already just fighting to get booted into it. Been giving me a hard time.

Just realized your guide is the same one I have been using. It has made the most sense to me. I guess the issue screwing me up is finding compatible roms for my phone. Also when I install this rom to 4.1.1 am I losing what I have or will it all remain. Then update to 4.3

The 4.1.1 will torch everything. What are you looking to save? Apps ? If so use like Titanium Backup or Mybackup Pro to save them off.
Save them to external sdcard.
As far as what is a compatible ROM, everything under the AT&T Galaxy Note II Android Development is good. There are different flavors. Stick with stock to start off with.

Backing up using TB pro.... Have found one other issue besides snote not working and that is I cannot copy add or change anything on exd card. This is even after I had to format it earlier when I did a clean wipe a few days again. I am doing a sync to drop box and one other online drive. When that is done I will try to do another backup to PC. What's correct way or best way getting into teepee or should I even worry about it. Should I just flash Twrp and then flash 4.1.1 and then update to 4.3?
