Does anyone have the zip file of the new OTA download for 4.3 by any chance? Trying to fix a soft bricked phone and want to flash the newest stock rom back to my SGH-I747........thanks in advance
It's not the full Rom. It's a patch to the previous firmware.

Hey guys,
I'm trying to go back to a stock Touchwiz ROM from CyanogenMod 10.2. My only problem is, I can't Odin back to a stock from because the only Odin compatible file I have is 4.1.1 which my phone will no longer go to since my baseband was updated after trying a former 4.3 ROM.
Can anyone link me to a 4.3 ROM that I can flash in Odin? I'm asking because most of the ROM's I'm finding that are 4.3 require you to be on a TW ROM before flashing their ROM. Thanks.

This link is useless for me as it does not have a 4.3 stock rom listed in their official firmwares. They have only up to 4.1.2 which I cannot Odin back to since my baseband was already updated.

|ROM|Bootloader|Kernel|Modem| AT&T Official 4.3 MJB |24 Nov 2013| There you go all stock. make sure you hit the thanks button for everyone (not my files I just found them)
You cant flash this in odin but can use TWRP or CWM. will get you back all stock. Good luck...

Do I have to be on a stock rom to use this? I'm currently on Quantum V3 and I don't have access to a stock rom to revert to since my baseband was updated.

No you don't have to be on the stock rom to use that, but the bootloaders are for 4.3 so if you haven't updated yet this will update you.
You can flash any rom you want to as long as you do not mess with the bootloader you will be OK. I do not know if this work on anything besides an at&t phone using it on anything else is done so at your own risk just the same as using it.
What about the recovery? any way to get a stock recovery image?
I was watching a video online on how to flash back to stock, and that brought me to this forum, and the topic of Quick Return to UNROOTED STOCK WITH FLASH COUNT RESET
I was going to download that .zip file but then I saw the warning DO NOT FLASH THIS IF YOU HAVE UPDATED TO MK3 (4.3)
What 4.3 is it referring to? The stock 4.3 that Samsung pushed out recently?
Yes, the stock 4.3 update

So is there a way to unroot the 4.3? I used CF Auto Root but now need to unroot or reflash a stock ROM. Is this possible with 4.3 and Knox?
Dear Experts, Need your help.
Look at the attached pictures.
I successfully flashed official 4.4.2 (M919UVUFNB4) through OTA
Since then I had google play store issues. "Could not communicate with google severs" for more than 2 days.
So I decided to get the stock 4.4.2 reinstalled. But it would need Stock 4.3 to allow OTA 4.4.2 to pop.
* So tried to go back to stock 4.3 using ODIN. This is where things got messed up.
* ODIN downgrade failed. Could not boot
* So I flashed OUDHS-Recovery-jfltetmo-1.0.3.3.tar using ODIN. Successfully flashed and booted.
* Installed CWM recovery 6.0.4.4
* Flashed "jfltetmo_M919UVUEMK2_Stock_Deodexed.zip" successfully and booted.
* Tried to go back to stock 4.3. Failed again.
Right now my phone is working without any issues with deodexed 4.3. Look at the attached pictures.
Let me know how can I get back to Stock 4.3
or
how can I update my phone to Stock 4.4.2
Appreciate your help!

Wrong section man but you can't update to stock 4.4.2 w/o the .tar (unreleased atm) and you can't go back to stock 4.3 because of Knox. All you can do is flash a 4.4.2 custom ROM and wait for the .tar for 4.4.2 to be released.

You can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2679913. It's a completely stock flashable zip.
I will say that I haven't tested it yet (will do so later), and the Dev warns that things might break. So you have been warned. But if you're already on the 4.4 boot loader from the OTA update, its worth a shot. Just make a nandroid so that if you get any errors you can go back to what you have now.

Good to know, hopefully I won't have the same problem but who knows. It's annoying to me that I don't have a way to completely start fresh but that's what happens I guess when you jump the bandwagon so early lol

There is a way to get a fresh install of the 4.4 NB4 OTA. We've been using the process for the I337 for a while now since AT&T stopped releasing the full tar files. I recently picked up a used M919 for the unlocked bootloader and have been able to follow the same procedure to get the fresh re-install of NB4.
I will put together the needed files and post a link but all thats needed is to place the OTA zip in your ext sd card and then flash the MK2 system, modem, recovery, and cache images using odin. The phone will not boot at this point but you then go into recovery and flash the OTA zip from there.

I am on firmware 4.3 that I rooted a while ago. I would like to unroot 4.3 however I cannot figure out how. I thought I could flash stock 4.3 via Odin but there are no .tar versions of 4.3. Help?

Do you have the full stock version of 4.3 or the modified (unrooted) version? You can check your phone's settings and build number to see if it's MJB or MJ2. You can try unrooting from the SuperSU app. The definitive solution to unrooting is indeed to flash a complete stock image. An Odin flashable *.tar file was recently developed. There have, however, been reports on outcome. You can flash custom recovery to your phone (either of CWM or TWRP) and use the instructions in the thread below to download and flash a complete stock restore.

I need above STOCK 4.3 for my i747. It now has a Rooted 4.3 with CWM Recovery Mode. I need to get it back to Stock with Stock Samsung Recovery so I can then do the OTA update that is out to 4.4.2. Assume reason I can not get this update to install as phone is now is because it is rooted and does not have Stock Recovery. It downloads the update but will not install the update after download and reboot. Does this sound correct as to why I can not get OTA to install?? Thanks for help on this and send me the steps to get it back to Stock 4.3 with Odin and version of Odin to use. Not sure if need to do wipe/factory reset and wipe cache before you would install Stock 4.3 .tar file in Odin. Hope to hear from someone that has Done this before so I know it will work. Thanks Guys
