I swear I have tried that hotfile link a million times. I want to unlock for T-Mobile and am having the worst luck. could someone help a brotha out?:highfive:
If your trying to unlock your I317, then you just have to downgrade your modem if your ROOTED.
The J2 original modem that came with the DEVICE when it was first released! Is what you'll need. Then after the unlock just update your modem to the latest release!
Because you have to DO it thru the recovery! I prefer twrp recovery...

I am running a cleanrom I believe that to be based on the international firmware ...are you sure simply flashing the modem will suffice? can anyone verify a rom and modem combo that the dialer code unlock method will work on?
I was running the 4.1.2 recent update, so I flashed the J2 modem and unlocked. Then I flashed Cleanrom 5.0 but still have the J2 modem. So yes, you can run Cleanrom with the 4.1.1 J2 modem.

Hey guys, I've been searching for a couple hours now and have came up empty handed.
I'm trying to find a stock rooted ROM for my Sasktel i747m (baseband/bootloader= MF1] . I already have the Odin-able version but i don't have access to a computer for a few days so i am looking for a flashable zip that i can flash in cwm recovery? I know these type of zips exist for the us carriers....but has anyone made one for the Canadian versions???
any help or links would be great..
AGAIN, I'M LOOKING FOR A FLASHABLE STOCK ROOTED ZIP FOR sasktel I747M (BASEBAND MF1) THAT I CAN FLASH IN CWM 6.0.4.7 RECOVERY...NOT ODIN.
Thanks!

did you ever solve this issue? I was wondering the same thing, wanting to flash back to rogers 4.1.1/2 and them back to Quantum to fix the minor LTE issue. I was considering mobile ODIN.

Do you have the i747m? If you do, you can try flashing a stock ROM from sammobile. Not sure if you can use Odin with a 4.3 bootloader.

yep, i'm on the i747m with the LK4 bootloader, so I think that's 4.1.1? Ideally, I was hoping to just use CWM to flash everything - stock rom, then back to quantum, but I hadn't found a flashable version of stock rom for CWM yet. I will check out sammobile, though, thanks.
I never did find a zip...I ended up odining back and then making sure i made a stock rooted nandroid before going back to aosp...
ok so i know there are several threads about it but i want it to be clear for me and anyone else that has questions.... i know i posted multiple times but those threads are wanting custom recoveries...
i have the MJB firmware and am wanting to update to the FNE4 firmware....What zip package can be used on the E3 aka stock recovery and stock rom without any custom flashing at all.
i don't want to flash a custom recovery due to warranty.....so which zip floating around can update the phone...
i tried the ota and it failed for unknown reasons multiple times and would just like to flash in recovery....
The only ota that's flashable from stock recovery is going to be identical to the one that failed when you tried to use the software update.
Odin flash 4.3 firmware, factory reset and try again.
OK but is there one that's flashable is my question?

Yes there's a thread in general. Title starts with [Download] I think.
Li know and you have several files up also there is the op so which is flashable with full stock

OK thank you very much doc....sorry for the hassle....I'm sure others will benefit from it as well.....thanks again

Not a problem! Better safe than sorry! I know it can get confusing with so much different information in each thread!
I was able to restore to 4.3 MJA and then use the OTA download (renamed to update.zip) from the other thread here and used stock recovery to update.
Just a note: Once you update you can downgrade to 4.3 but you need to use the NE4 modem from here on out. Older modem firmware will result in the device getting no signal.

so restoring mjb on top of fne4 WONT result in a brick?
Sent from my ATT Samsung Galaxy SIII using TapaTalk
I Odin'd 4.3 on top of NE4 (with NE4 bootloader and NE4 modem). Did not brick.
The only issue I had was that I need NE4 modem to get a signal on the NE4 bootloader (bootloader won't downgrade)
Unfortunately I didn't fine an NE4 modem zip around here yet so I updated back to NE4 to get the new modem and my signal. Rooted NE4 /w towelroot and then installed a rom of my choice.
So now I have the NE4 bootloader + modem and a kitkat rom of my choice.

WARNING!!!!
Do not flash a 4.4.2 modem if you are running 4.3 firmware (bootloaders)!!!!
This will cause a permanent hard-brick!!! There is no fix!!!
The only reason anyone should need to flash one of these is if they had flashed a 4.3 or earlier modem for whatever reason. Once updated to 4.4.2 firmware, ONLY that matching modem will work. Flashing anything else will result in no signal and most likely an "Unknown" baseband and IMEI. If you flashed an older modem, you will need to flash back to the 4.4.2 one and these will all come back.
This has happened a number of times already, and continues to happen still. So I figured I would put them in a separate thread to make them easier to find.
Flash from the recovery of your choice, or Mobile Odin. The updater-script for these includes an assert that should prevent flashing on anything that does not have the correct bootloader.
Full Disclosure: I do not have an I747 or I747M, and as such, I am unable to test any of these. I have full confidence they will work as expected though. (I have been doing the modems for the T999 for a couple of years now). Still, you should know they are currently untested.

These modems will only work if you have updated to the latest 4.4.2 base firmware and bootloaders. The ROM you are running is irrelevant. If everything is currently working, you have no need for these.
I need this files to repair Unknow baseband and IMEI null in my I747M VLUFNE6 4.4.2
Another link please.. this link dont work..

And did you try any of the afh mirrors?

Hello Doc, I have an issue trying to upload the modem on my sgh i747 because when I downloaded the CWM modem gives me Error 7 and dont let me upload the modem actually I have I747UCUEMJB and 4.4.4 slimkat, but my bigger problem is the imei, baseband null. helpme please all the night I wastryng many solutions and I am so tired now.. thanks
You probably never updated your firmware to 4.4.2.
To know for sure open terminal emulator and enter this.
getprop ro.bootloader
If it says MJB, you haven't updated your firmware yet and flashing this modem would permanently break your phone. If it is MJB, flash the same firmware via Odin and factory reset. That often fixes the imei problem. If it does not, pm me for further help with it. Can't post those instructions here.

Thanks for keeping the support for this phone going. I have the latest bootloader ..uemk5 for my Rogers sghI747m.
I tried to flash this and got a status 7.
I have been using the ..UEND3 Modem up till now.
You need to update first or this modem would permanently brick your device. MK5 is a 4.3 build. I think the latest Rogers is NF2. You cannot flash this modem unless you've already updated. And then you won't need this. I released these because some mistakenly flash the older 4.3 modems after updating and find it won't work, so they needed a way back.

No Cell data after root and new rom and recovery.
Hi,
This is a repost from the S3 help forum as the OP here seems very knowledgeable about modems and bootloaders. Excuse the redundancy.
I was given a used ATT I747 s3 which had stock 4.3 , modem/bootloader mjb, and knox. I rooted, removed knox and installed slim 4.4.4 rom, lean 4.4.4 kernel and latest philz recovery. All running ok
including cell calls to/from phone, mms, apps and wifi data. Same modem/bootloader (MJB), IMEI accurate after upgrade. However ATT cellular data will not connect and or transmit and/or receive using att, phone or lte APN.
Any help/thoughts appreciated?
Could be the rom. I've been hearing about a lot of connection issues on cm/aosp based roms lately. Try flashing back to stock to see if it works.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Nevermind I re read. Did it work before you installed lean kernel?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using XDA Free mobile app
In my upgrade process, the first thing I did, after the recovery had been updated to Philz, was install slim rom and lean kernel together and at the same time. That was when the problems began. They went away when I reinstalled slim rom only (without lean kernel). Everything now ok. Hope that helps.
I'll start by saying I'm very much a noob but read and read as much as I can and have been following quite closely a lot of the s3 development so anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
It seems in the past few months a lot has changed with kernels and compatibility has broken numerous times. If the dates of the releases of kernel and Rom aren't quite close then some commits in the rom could break data, wifi, etc. If your running the latest nightly Rom make sure your using a recent kernel. Always just make a backup before flashing custom kernel and then you can revert right back if the kernel breaks anything.
Hope that helps...

You need to be running the latest 4.4.2 bootloader and modem to work with the latest custom ROMs.

can you send me information on what bootloader to download and modem?
Easiest way to get info about your phone would be to install the Samsung info app from the play store. The app will tell you the bootloader and modem on the phone.
I have a Canadian Galaxy S3, on 4.1.1 DLK4 Official. I rooted it, and have TWRP.
I want to upgrade my rom to a CM12/13 but of course with root and custom recovery, OTA updates are blocked.
I need newer bootloaders and modem to run the newer android versions.
Should I install them now, while on 4.1.1, and then flash CM12, or should I sequentially update each of the AT&T firmwares until I get up to 4.4.2?
Do official roms have the bootloaders and modems in them and install them automatically?
Should I use the Kies restore method?
The Canadian and att s3 phones are not the same model number. Don't flash an att bootloader to your Canadian phone as this may brick the phone.
Flash latest stock rom from Sammobile.com, flash twrp, flash cm.

Okay, but i can use AT&T roms tho?
The i747m will work with d2can, d2lte, and d2att Roms.
Is it safe to flash straight from 4.1.1 to 4.4.2 using a sammobile rom? will i brick due to Knox bootloader and modem?
Can I flash it using TWRP?
If someone could link a tutorial that would be very helpful.
I keep reading stuff that says to flash the newer bootloader before flashing a 4.3 firmware, and some that say the opposite. Others say that people should incrementally update.
I want to go from 4.1.1 original with Root and TWRP, to CM13.
Thank you.
Yes, you can flash the latest stock 4.4.2 rom from Sammobile.com directly to your phone. No need to do anything other than backing up your data.

Now I just need to get the balls again to use odin. Flashing the custom recovery using the Universal Tool Kit that had step by step walkthrough was adrenaline rush enough LOL.
I could also use Kies, as that has 4.4.2 OB3 (telus), and also has "emergency firmware recovery" feature if a brick ever happens. Though ideally the only time boot.img gets flashed is only with Full Stock Firmware files.
I find kies to be unreliable when I have tried to restore firmware so I always stuck with Odin.
