Went to JB, want to go back but stuck on boot now

I recently went to a Jellybean ROM and would like to just go back to stock for the time being (rooted if possible). I've flashed the stock rooted .tar from mrobinsons thread. Get the samsung logo, the at&t animation, and then a white samsung logo that pulses blue, and a pulsing blue LED.
I've found a stock PIT file and tried to use that in ODIN with no luck. Also downloaded a stock md5 file from sammobile for this device and tried flashing that.
Whats the best way for me to get back to an AT&T ROM?
Thanks, wasn't able to find any real info as far as being stuck at this particular point in the searching/reading that I did

Hey guys, same thing happened to me. I was on JB roms and was really fed up with all the issues and i've decided to go backt o tstock. I had a reflex of going through odin as for my other Galaxy S 2, it was the way to revert back to stock. Now i'm also stuck on logo, i also just confirmed i lost CWM. So i dont know what to do...i dont have custom recoevry anymore, and i tried to flash stock unrooted rom with no success. Any suggestions?

Its hard to say, I rooted my phone successfully, then using Odin i tried to flash a rom using a guide i found now Im stuck with this.
I was hopeing to put lighting rom on or something "fast"

So after you rooted it did you boot it up and it worked? What kind of file was the rom that you were trying to flash using odin? You should install a custom recovery, I prefer twrp and it's very easy to install. And what is this lighting rom? Never heard of it
And what guide did you follow to flash a rom in odin?

I didn't boot up, it wont boot now. im not sure the file type im a noob. sorry i cant tell you more. im at the download mode screen should i try to flash a rom?

You may need to try and use odin to put the stock firmware back on and root it again. I don't think you can flash zip files using odin. You use a custom recovery. Search YouTube on how to root your phone and install a recovery. If I understand you right, you rooted it and immediately tried to install a zip file using odin which you can't do.

This thread has the factory firmware with root already in it. That should work. Follow the instructions and make sure it boots up before flashing any roms. Then search on how to install a custom recovery, how to make a backup, and how to flash a new rom. There are plenty of directions or there and resources to help. And YouTube really helps.

i might have jumped the gun odin say it passed no failures. but how long dose it take for the phone to boot seems to be staling on the start of when it says Samsung

Go to the market and install root cheaker....and if you are rooted then go to the market and get goomanager, hit menue install open script recovery, , then that should install a custom recovery to your device...you can access it by turning phone off then holding volume up home then power till samsung screen shows.. then on e twrp boots hit backup, and back up to sd...onnce thats done then,,,,, u need to read some more:beer:

In my case flashing the modem did not do the trick unfortunately. I had to go to comand prompt to make it work. If ibfind the link where the procedure is written down ill pm to you

Flash the modem from the firmware you had on your phone before you flashed DN3 rom,that should solve the issue.
Gud luck.

working downgrade!

Ive made a downgrade that brings you from the 4.3 ota to 4.1.1. the downgrade works but it has the 4.3 bootloader. just flash it via odin, then set it up and then you wont have sound or signal. to get that you must flash the modem file and voila it works. if you want toot just flash chainfires root and then flash recovery via odin. i am currently using this downgrade now with working everything. credit goes to santij07 fro his helpful thread

2. set up phone
3. flash cf autoroot via odin
4. flash open recovery or that of your choosing via odin

Hey there,
I clicked on the link that you provided (not for the files, but for the thread). I noticed on *that* thread, it was for i747M. Is this/your thread exclusively for i747? I don't want to chance it and brick my device due to a variant mess-up.
Thanks for publishing this info. =)

The link is if the i747m but I used the same process just with the i747 files.

From the threads I have been reading, NO, you can not unlock using this.
This procedure will allow you to downgrade your ROM to 4.1.1 while leaving you on the 4.3 bootloader. To unlock using the free method you must be on completely stock 4.1.1. Completely stock, including the bootloader, which would be LK3 for the i747, I believe.

Why don't you give it a try and let us know? I think as long as you installed the 4.1.1 modem, you will be able to unlock you phone.

i wasn't able to. i actually traded my s3 for a s3 running 4.1.2 and on that one i just downgraded and then succesfully unlocked that one. sadly i don't have either anymore because the one running 4.1.2 was having speaker issues. i now have a vivid and wish i wouldn't of traded lol.

I was able to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.1. I do have a few questions though...
1. S3ModedRom.tar: Is it for the I747 or I747m?
2. Modem file: Is it flashed through TWRP or CWM?
3. How do I go back to 4.3?
Also...for those wondering if you can FREE UNLOCK: NO. I get only a blank service menu
Input on the above questions will be greatly appreciated. Especially the 3rd question

All of these files are for i747 only and modem is flashed via recovery of your choice

Trying the bootloader after further thought. Since odin bob7 wont flash in odin i doubt the BL will. Unless maybe using the BL partition only in odin. Im actually not even sure at this point as samsung did a number on us.

This is a no go.
Background:
Buddy was rooting his phone and thought his build was OB7 but apparently it is OE1. He loaded up TWRP (wiped everything w/out backing up) tried to flash a custom ROM, no go (it boot loops). He then tried to ODIN back OB7, no go, fails.
I searched for him and found a backup nandroid [email protected] . I inserted it in the TWRP folder and under backups and tried to restore, no go.
Question:
Is he stuck until and OE1 tar is available?
