[ODIN] [ROM] [STOCK] N900TUVUBMI7 | 4.3
ODIN only fully stock the way it is out of the box.
Just in case something gets fudge up while your rooting

Will this revert everything back to stock? I mean will root be lost, and Knox reset? I've been reading some posts that just rooting the phone makes you lose the ability to get OTA updates. I actually can confirm as all I did was root, and now checking for updates says my device has been modified, and I can't get them.

Hmm. I know this is so far in the future I'm sure, but I wonder if just having Knox changed will prevent OTAs. Just curious really, so no need to rush to a fix for Knox. LOL

Latch on to a good developer and buy him a beverage every now and then and Official OTAs will lag behind what is released here in these forums.

Hey thanks for the file saved my ass after a botched recovery install. I hope someone can post this file up on another website because last night i tried to download using the slow (NONE PAY) method at http://www.filefactory.com/file/5u0ud54hxu3l/N900TUVUBMI7_N900TTMBBMI7_TMB.zip
and waited four hrs (at 3am) for the download to fail with a server error after 4.5 hrs. So i felt better to pay the website for their unlimited speed downloads. Well that was a crock of S*** because i still had to wait for over an hour to complete the download. I hope someone will post this somewhere where it can be easier to get so you don't suffer my grief.
I do want to thank deeznutz1977 for the file because without it I would still be stuck in a bootlopp at startup after installing twrp recovery that apparently has some real issues. Thanks for saving my bacon deeznutz1977.
when you apply via odin is this PDA or PHONE?

I just bought my SGS3 yesterday and still going under battery calibration, first cycle. Question is should I wait to complete the battery calibration before rooting or go ahead and root?
I'm coming from a Vibrant, so I know about rooting, just don't know if its a better idea to get the calibration done right first before rooting.
I would just go ahead and root it. I rooted mine on like the 2nd or 3rd day

I just rooted my phone anyways! Ah, I guess I have been misinformed and been trapped in my old ways, Vibrant ways. lol. Had another question, will removing any of the T-Mobile crapware mess with the full functionality of the stock rom? I remember for the vibrant, removing certain apps caused the phone to force close repeatedly and crashed the phone.

You don't need to wipe anything before rooting. You just need to make sure you back up your stuff in case the worst of the worst happens.

Wildchild made a good rom v 32 stable and stock based off of new update
A couple of weeks ago, I went on Sammobile and installed a leaked OTA that I thought didnt carry any problems with until now. I Installed the UVLI1 verson. Now yesterday, I just found out that I will not be able to get any OTAs from T-Mobile since my modem number is changed. So I tried to Install the UVALH2 update so I can get back on the offical modem but its not letting me install it! Im 100% stock. No root or anything. I need help please.

One more noob question.... How do you know if your phone is unrooted? I Flashed the previous update and cleared my cashe and wiped my data and now my device status is normal. does that mean that im not rooted anymore?
Glad you're learning some of the basics but you should definitely read before you start going to sammobile and installing leaks. You should be glad that your phone isn't bricked.

Learning is what happens when you do something that you don't have the knowledge to do. If I said I knew what I was doing before I started flashing, I would be a liar. That being said, a smart person learns from other people's mistakes. Read a lot.
It's simple. Basically, never flash anything that isn't made for the SGH-T999. And if using Odin, always use PDA.
Since you are rooted, get Terminal Emulator from the Play Store. Run it, and type: su <enter> reboot nvbackup <enter>. This will backup your IMEI data, so it can be restored should it ever become corrupted. You will only need to do this one time.
Follow these instructions, and it's pretty much impossible to hard brick.
You want to check root status? Why do you need another app from the Play Store? Just open Superuser/SuperSU. It will tell you if the binaries are present/updated. Though, the presence of a su app is generally indicative that you have root access.
Rooted my phone, now server tells me updated aren't supported because the phone is modified. I know there probably aren't any updates yet, but still want to know how to get around this just in case there is, thanks!

Entirely up to you, honestly it isn't that hard to make a backup of all your apps with 'Helium' and restore onto the stock rom, etc. It's the challenge everyone faces when flashing ROMs. I would wait until there's an update and see what changes it brings before reverting. But you will want to download the stock .tar for instances you need to go back to stock.
Is there a way to root the device again and still maintain having all blotware removed? Or will it add back all carrier and third party apps?

All official updates are complete with bloat, the only way is to install the update and remove the bloat afterwards or wait for someone to release a debloated rooted build.

Just wait. When an official update is released a debloated version usually appears on the forums that is prerooted and ready for CWM/TWRP.
I'm also getting the same message. Is it because super user is installed or because of my custom recovery? Or both? If I remove super user will it work? Or would I also need to flash the stock recovery?

It's because we rooted, but uninstalling it won't reset it because of the ticker, anything installed after the factory condition will show it as custom.

There is no official stock (yet) so your stuck like that
But if your rooted in the first place why does it matter you can install any firmware/software updates yourself

Will the app "[root] Triangle Away" will solve this problem?
if you tried to downgrade your phone back to an earlier version and soft bricked it after having upgraded your phone to the new OTA, Use the odin tar from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=22379
flash that with odin 3.09 and you should be good. i messed up a customers phone because i didnt know about this stupid knox bootloader crap but luckily after tons of searching and bad tars, i remembered sammobile's site and used their tar image and boom its alive!
does your bootload still have knox or has it tripped it with this tar?

Ok guys, new to this phone, just came from an xperia z. I've been doing some reading and i'm a little bit lost.
So far I have my phone on 4.2.2, never been updated, and i have it rooted and running clockworkmod as a recovery.
I have a few questions before I do anything, i've been reading about KNOX and i'm a bit confused. Does KNOX come back when you update to a different rom? When I fired up SuperSU for the first time it asked me if I wanted to disable KNOX features, and it did so successfully. My question is, is there anything to look out for before updating?

If you update via OTA, your bootloader will come with a KNOX counter, which cannot be reset at the moment. If you flash anything when you have that, it will trip the counter and your warranty is voided.
I'd suggest flashing a 4.3 or 4.4 rom if you wanna update it, then flash the MK2 modem to get normal signal.

Ok, I do not care about any warranty, I take care of my electronics. Not trying to be rude, but i wanted to clear that up. I know warranty is out the window at this point.
So I can update to just about any rom, but i would have to flash the MK2 modem right after to fix signal problems?
Sorry for so many questions, but i guess I am a bit late getting into the S4 game.
Yes, that's right. Beware of potential issues though, some people have reported the modem didn't stick when they flashed it. It went fine for me and most people, but I just wanna give you a heads up.
And somehow flashing rom with Odin always causes issues for me. TWRW is the best!

I'm not planning on flashing roms through ODIN, just the modem.
So if i flash this now, its SUPPOSED to stick onto the phone even if i fluctuate through different roms?
Also, if i install a rom that says knox-free i would be able to flash it no problem right?
Yes. You only need to flash the modem once. All the custom roms on here are KNOX free, so no worries there.

Great. Thank you for the help! I just flashed the modem and its showing mk2 in the baseband version, so i guess it went through. It had the 4.2.2 bootloader, not the 4.3.
So just to clarify, now that it has this installed I'm free to install any custom rom I want?

Anyway, you might consider installing Mobile Odin from the Play Store. I've flashed a couple roms that caused my baseband to show as unknown and using MO to reflash the MK2 modem was insanely more convenient than using Odin on my PC.
