Hi,
Got an GT-I9300 from Amazon just to discover that is a SGH-I747M but tweaked to show it as a 9300.
Now I'm stuck in 4.04 and can't upgrade to 4.1.2, tried stock 747m ROM but odin upload fails. Ofcourse Kies upgrade is not available.
Any way to solve this?

You sure you don't have that flipped? An I9300 that shows as a 747m

Before you attempt to flash anything, download an app to verify which processor or amount of ram you have. If you flash the wrong thing, you'll end up with a nice shiny paperweight.

I'm pretty sure is a 747, if you check the screenshots I posted, the phone has 2 cores (vs 4 of the 9300) and more RAM than the 9300.

Yes, check the posted screenshots. Says hardware is 747
Your links aren't working to for me to see the pics but if the hardware is i747 then you will only want to flash i747 ROMs. Its a fairly simple matter to edit the file descriptors to change the information that shows in the about phone menu. I have been seeing alot of this from recent Amazon S3 purchases, sounds like some kind of scheme to make more money.

Just replace the spaces in the original post links
I've tried with 747 roms without luck, thats why I'm asking what I should do in this case
I'm pretty sure that I'm not the first wanting to have the correct ROM
Ahh silly me, didnt notice the space
Anyways, it has the correct gpu/chipset to be an i747, so your suspicions are correct. The next question is what isn't working when trying to flash to stock? Error codes etc.

Dont worry. I put the space because this forums blocks links for new users
Software update with OTA simply says "error processing". -> i.imgur. com/0ALVRSd.png
Over Kies gives the message I posted on the first screenshot
I can't remember the exact error on ODIN, I'll take a look and post

Yeah, similar issue here. About Phone says i9300. When I booted into download mode, it said SGH I747. When I tried using GooManager to install a custom recovery, it detected the phone as 'd2can'. I'm bewildered.

I would recommend following the steps in this thread to verify the hardware is infact that of an i747, if so use Odin the flash a stock i747 rom of your choice.

Except 4.3 stock unless you want to be there for a while(can not downgrade) and face a whole world of hurt if you are not using your exact carriers modem/bootrom.
So guys is there any solution? I can't flash stock 747 ROM via odin or kies. I'm stuck on 4.04 forever?

Hey, i was trying to unroot my phone and reset the counter using triangle away but now my imei number is changed and my sim card doesnt work...please someone help me.....what should i do
Which ROM you have installed? Have you tried to flash official stock rom again? If no, try to flash and see.
If you are on MF2 or ME6 ROM, then you might need to restore EFS backup.. Anyways, give us more details so that we can investigate futher.

Why? When I was an admin in a big forum like this, requests like yours never ceased to amaze me. This is a public forum, not a private messaging service. How can anyone else learn from any of it if its parts are deleted every time something's resolved!?!
It's a selfish request... in exactly the same way that someone saying they'll PM someone to privately continue the discussion, when said discussion is guaranteed to contain information from which others may benefit, is selfish. I'm not saying you're selfish, or calling you a name or anything like that. I'm simply pointing-out that maybe you didn't think it through before asking a mod to remove the thread. It's participants aren't the only ones reading and learning around here.

Which rom are you using? Check that.
Do you have Odin flashable stock rom? If not download that, then you can flash the whole rom with Odin or from there you can extract the modem file and flash with Odin. The process is not actually easy if you have never done it before. Or you can search for the specific rom modem which is flash ready and download and flash that. The easiest method would be to flash stock rom altogether.

I think I didnt make my clear, I meant what ROM did your phone originally come with, which modem or baseband version, do you know that? Was it international rom or country specific? The rom you flashed later didn't have the right modem version that is why you are in this mess, find out which rom your phone came with and then download that rom then you can either flash the whole rom or extract the modem file and flash that.

I also had the same problem with my wifes s3. I had to unroot, rest binary counter and so on. I then took it to Samsung and all they did was flash the latest stock rom from our carrier and it fixed the imei problem. if only I researched it here first would have saved me a lot of trouble. a thread such as this one would have answered all my questions. plz don't delete this thread.

Okay so I want to flash back to stock but I realized that my bootloader is not the stock one. I flashed the modem to the newest one before. My bootloader is I747MVLUEMK5. I've heard people sat that i cannot go back to stock just straight flashing with Odin now that I have a different modem. What procedures do I need to take to flash back to stock?

That is the correct one, Backup everything you need off your phone as Odin will wipe everything. nLeaving an external SD in is OK, but the internal memory will get wiped.

I've only used stock and CM11 so far since 4.3. The I've not tried Liquid Smooth but Grievous ROM is pretty good. It's the ROM currently on my wife's phone. It is white themed Touchwiz which was my biggest selling point.

I don't think that is compatible with the i747m no?
Oh and also, let's say I want to get Liquid Smooth onto my phone but I currently have Quantum. Do I have to flash back to stock with Odin and then install the Liquid Smooth ROM? Or can I just go and wipe the system now in recovery without going to stock and then install Liquid Smooth in recovery?
Grievous is compatible with the 747m. Im on 747m Bell. You just need to flash a modem and kernel to get data and wifi to work. As far as liquid smooth, you do not need to go back to stock. Installing the ROM and then wiping should work. If you do find that you ever flash a ROM and have WiFi issues, kernel is likely culprit. No data is usually due to a modem. These seem to be more often with new ROMs and most development based off AT&T phones.

Did that rom flash a bootloader? I woukd imagine it did but might be worth double checking. Dunno if.it.would.make.a.difference or not though either. If all else fails and you cant do.it for.free a good.option is GalaxSimUnlock - will yell.you if.it can be done before you pay fot it and its cheap. I used it on an s2 and woukd recommend it
try it on the older rom
I managed to root 4.1.1 and then ran but it still doesnt let me unlock. Im going to try an even older ROM tomorrow. Hopefully it will work.

The ROMs that contain the correct radio are all going to be on sammobile.com
It's just a case of finding the correct file and knowing what to look for. I'm trying out the XXALIE, still downloading...
Look on sammobile.com and start typing '7100XX' or '7100XXA' and you should start seeing relevant ROMs. Report back if you find one that works please, I'm sure the information will help others like me.

If I remember right, once on 4.3 you can no longer use the free unlock method. You will have to buy a code online. If you have a T999, you can try flashing the 4.1.1 modem and see if you can do it though. You wont get any signal if you are on a 4.3 rom until you flash back to the 4.3 modem btw.

You dont need to be rooted, but you do need a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) in order to flash the modem. I never made any odin flashable packages for the modems, only recovery flashable.
Just so you know, flashing a custom recovery will void your warranty if its still valid and you care about that.
Thanks bro, I don't care about warranty.... So all I have to do now is flash a recovery then flash the modem, hmm wonder if anyone has ever got it to work like that before tho.... If it doesn't tho can u recommend a cheap unlocking site please

All I remember for sure is that on 4.1.2, samsung patched against this unlock method, but we were still able to flash the 4.1.1 modem and unlock. In 4.3, you cant use an older modem or youll get no signal, but Im just not sure if you can still use the free unlock method that way.
Ebay had several very cheap options at one point. Also, http://gsmliberty.net has/had(?) a promo where if you posted a video of yourself unlocking using their method they would refund you your money, essentially making it free. Not sure if that is still valid though.

There were several mentions of specific sellers that only charged a few bucks in the unlock thread if you want to dig in to find them.

Any 4.1.1 modem, as long as its one for your model device. If you wanted you could see if flashing a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 rom would make a difference, but as before, I kinda doubt it will.
When we were updated to 4.1.2, and found that the unlock method was patched, all we had to do was flash an older modem. Didnt matter what build it was from.
agree

i guess this way is ok.
use rom 4,1,1 and the modem for rom 4.1.1, phone should work fine, hope someone can try this way. and tell us the result.
Please I tried to downgrade my galaxy S4 from t-mobile and I bricked it(already fixed it), but I need to downgrade it to unlock it. I tried every way I found here but I keep bricking it
I believe you are suppose to flash the 4.2.2 modem, root, the run regionlockaway, and reflash current modem.

I'm having trouble finding the modems
Confirm the model number in download mode, then do a google search for the appropriate firmware, extract the modem, and flash it?
I'm not sure but you maybe able to use other m919 roms for extract the modem to unlock the phone.

It seems I talked too early but this problems more easy.....my dialer and messaging app are slow af but I'm wondering if I can re-flash the stock 4.4.4 firmware even if that's the version I currently am? Because think I the problem is the modem that I flash had problem

Yep, I re-flashed the stock firmware and it works?
After downgrading the modem, I always recommend reflashing the latest rom from sammobile.com in Odin followed by a full wipe in stock recovery.

Here's regionlockaway
Here's the link:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_V3a99HuE-tNzUtaEVTN0hDRkE/view?usp=sharing
Both have the same files.
1. Unzip and flash 4.2.2 modem with Odin(CP Button).
2. Open RegionLockAway and follow the instructions.
3. Once RegionLockAway finish flash 4.4.4 modem.
It's better if you're in stock(if you wanna be sure nothing happens).
Any leads on the Mobilicity or Wind modems?

My s4 is presently "soft-bricked" after downgrade attempt. Would really appreciate some help to fix it.
