I was trying to flash my s3 back to 4.1.1. It failed when I was using odin. Now, I get the message Firmware encountered an issue..
I downloaded kies 3 but my phone will not connect to it.
Iv tried many different things and odin keeps failing after a couple lines.
What can I do?

Does your phone still boot? or do you have a Brick?
If it still boots Leave it alone. you can flash any rom you want to as long as there is no bootloader in it.
If you already bricked it, is it a soft brick or hard brick?

When I insert the battery and power on it has a message saying " firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
above that in the top left it says
odin mode
product name :sgh-1747m
custom binary download: yes (1count)
current binary: samsung official
system status: official
qualcomm secure boot: enable
warranty bit: 0
bootloader rp swrev: 1
This is all it does. I can get into download mode. But everytime I try to flash it says failed.
This is 4.3 touchwiz? or 4.3 custom rom?
If custom, I encountered a similar issue where going back to Odin failed. Trying to turn on the phone and going into recovery mode let "Firmware encountered and issue". I had also encountered the problem of Kies not connecting. It would say "connecting" but nothing would happen.
Can your phone boot in download mode?
If yes, you should be able to recover the firmware with Kies.
You may need to use the previous version of Kies and not Kies 3, as I think Kies 3 is only for 4.3 android touchwiz versions. If you had touchwiz 4.3 from the OTA, you may be stuck as I think people have had problems trying to go back to 4.1.
In Kies go in Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation. You will need to know your phone's model and serial number. They can be found behind the battery.
Follow the steps and you should be able to go back to 4.1.1.

Its 4.3 touchwiz ota last week.
I will try kies instead of kies 3. With kies 3 it just says connecting, wont connect. When I do the Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation. I type in my model and it just closes.
Im downloading kies right now...
Oh also, I had encountered the closing problem when in Windows.
I was able to not have the random closing problem when using Kies on a Mac.

Kies has be installed and when I click on tools- Firmware Upgrade...
I type in the model and it says "Please check the model name and enter it". I click ok and it goes back to the main screen, nothing happens.
when i open kies and plug in the phone it says "connecting".... 5mins has passed..same thing..
Hm, yeah it's odd.
I had the same issue with the main screen saying connecting forever, which didn't matter for upgrading the firmware.
Do you have the att version?
I'm assuming you put SGH-I747 for model?

My fix
I'm not an expert but I had the same problem due to the 4.3 release. You can't go back to an earlier release because the new boot loader is
locked. Nothing worked until I googled and located the exact .pit file and flashed it in Odin. I was rather desperate by then as I had a two day old
phone, lol. Kies doesn't have the newer release so I don't think you can use it. I used cwm mod recovery and flashed to a rooted stock 4.3 rom.
Hope this helps or someone can help more.

I just thought about it you have to go back with the 4.3 because if you do succesfully flash anything older you will Hard brick your phone, right now you should be able to recover with the 4.3 odin file.

You have to register for their site to be able to download. in the search bar about 1/3 page down on right type in SGH-I747M then find your carrier and download the appropriate file.
After that if you still dont like 4.3 you can flash whatever rom you want in CWM or TWRP or atleast thats whats been rumored. I have no clue I like 4.3 and havent had any issues with the rom I had a hard brick that I caused and recovered.

It's failing at sboot because you're trying to downgrade on a secured bootloader. You can't downgrade. You can only use the latest stock firmware.
This is the stock 4.3 image for use in Odin http://www.mediafire.com/download/7viivd985s7cp8l/L900VPUBMK4_L900SPTBMK4_HOME.tar.zip
To get into download mode use vol down, home, power. You'll need Odin 3.07 or 3.09. Put this in the PDA or AP tab. DO NOT MESS WITH ANYTHING ELSE IN ODIN.

Based on the OP, the phone is currently running Verizon's 4.1 which leads me to believe the bootloader has not been updated beyond 4.1.2 since recovery mode is accessible; therefore, I think flashing 4.11 or 4.1.2 stock roms would be fine.
As always, it's best to check the installed bootloader before proceeding with any more flashes.
I used the stock firmware from here to downgrade my Bell s3 from stock 4.1.2 to stock 4.1.1.

As you'll soon discover, I'm a noob. I stupidly took the OTA update on my Samsung Galaxy S3 T-Mobile T999 from 4.1.2 to 4.3. Since doing so mine and my wife's phone (did the same thing to her also) gets in a mess after being connected to the car stereo bluetooth and prevents outgoing calls unless the phone is rebooted.
So to try to solve this, I rooted the phone and installed CM 11, so now I'm on 4.4.2. This didn't help the issue either and instead is worse at connecting to the bluetooth.
I want to get my phone back to the stock 4.1.2 rom, which I got from sammobile (PDA T999UVDMD5) or at worst back to the 4.3 stock rom (PDA T999UVUEMJC).
This morning I tried to flash T999UVDMD5_T999TMBDMD5_T999UVDMD5_HOME.tar using ODIN 307 but it failed almost instantly with an Fail! Auth message.
I also tried to flash CM 10.1 zip on my SD card using ClockworkMod Recovery v 6.0.4.5 but again it failed almost instantly (sorry I didn't take note of the error).
So now I'm back to CM 11. So any suggestions for how to get back to either of the stock roms?

If you are getting errors in both odin and cwm, it sounds like it is a root issue. In other words, it sounds like the apps are being denied access to root and therefor cannot flash. Both odin and cwm are able to generate logs so you can tell the reason for the fail. Personally, I would recommend flasing twrp recovery instead of cwm since it seems to simplify alot and is a little better for our device. Without knowing exactly why the flash is failing, i would just recommend to try and re-root the phone again.
Did you put the phone in Downloading mode before connecting to the Odin ?
Do not try to flash 4.1.2 ever. It will brick your phone.

You cannot downgrade like that once you have updated to official 4.3 firmware, no offence but why would you try it even after Perseus said not to? Anyway if you want to go back to 4.1.2 so badly just download a 4.1.2 ROM and flash it in recovery

Downgrade from CM11 4.4.2 to 4.3 on I747
I went from 4.3 stock to CM11 on my i747 but i didnt like the update. So i am trying to go back to 4.3 however whenever i try to install the 4.3 zip file thru twrp or CWM, it fails. As far as i know there is no odin file for going back. I tried to flash rogers 4.3 file through odin (thinking i would flash at&t modem later) but that also failed.
I would appreciate any help on how to install 4.3 once 4.4.2 has been installed on an i747

For One, you are on the wrong forum. This is for T-Mobile's S3 not AT&T. Second, Like @passtheknowledge said, you really need to do significant research and reading here on XDA.

Please Read through this Thread. For Future Reference, all Odin Files for S3 in general are looked up by unique Keyword Root66. That thread is the right place for you to post errors or issues. If there's no 4.3 image for your phone there, you can post a request as well.
For your immediate Problem, there is a an alternate ATT StockMod Rom by @saranhai Please see this thread. Pay particular attention to the mandatory requirement of flashing a particular modem beforehand.
Hello, I have a bricked SCH-i925 Verizon. I'm trying to update the rom from odin. It uploaded the file to the device, but what keeps happening is when it gets to write nand it fails. I'm doing it from the odin menu (power+vol down). What might I try to get it to work? I'm using win7 and odin 3.07. I go the majority of them and tried them all, but all do the same. I'm flashing I925VRAMK1_I925VZWAMK1.

Nope she's bricked. Even with the stock rom Odin fails to flash. I think it's the locked bootloader that's why it won't work. Verizon is a useless company.
In the begin I rooted my S4 On the MDL baseband (4.2.2) and had OUDHS recovery installed but i decided to to install Wicked_v10 (4.3) which required for to update to the 4.3 modem and i followed these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544612 i followed all the steps with Odin BUT it said that it fail to Update.And it well reboot its self say back to download mode saying "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again" so basically my phone was Soft-bricked i manage resorting it back use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628 And soon enough my s4 was back alive:fingers-crossed: But only one problem now i take a look in my setting and i was on the MK2 Baseband As you can see in the screenshot and on top of the i get the error my notification bar saying "The device has detected an application attempting unpermitted actions and has
stopped loading. To protect your device, it is recommended you reboot." So im stuck now and i dont know what to next :crying:

According to the screenshots you uploaded, you are not on MDL firmware. In fact, you are on MDB firmware. MDB was released when the T-Mobile Galaxy S4 came out. Use Odin and flash the MDL firmware (use that same restore thread again, but do NOT download the link that says Stock Tar, instead download UVUAMDL Official TAR). Flashing this should restore the baseband version from MK2 to MDL.

I'm not sure. I actually used that tutorial to upgrade my baseband and it worked just fine. Another person also had this issue as well. I told them that it could have something to do with the custom binary counter. Apparently, the phone prevents you from flashing unsigned items if the counter is high. You can reset it with an app called TriangleAway.
