[Q] Soft bricked galaxy s3 4.3 please help - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Today I tried to root my AT&T (d2att) (SGH-i747) just upgraded to 4.3 yesterday. I am completley stock no root no custom recovery. I don't know what happened but it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again." I can't go into recovery,it won't let me. I ordered a jig (don't have it yet). It says this-
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: yes (5 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
warranty bit: 0
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
So can somebody please help? I have download mode but recovery is a no go

bump please help phones been bricked for more than a day now

There is no Odin package for 4.3 OTA so you will have to install an Odin packaged custom recovery such as twrp then install a 4.3 ROM or higher via recovery. 4.4 KiKKat will work too.

Hey guys I had a similar problem when I flashed a cf auto root file to the new ota. (sorry if that's a little noobish ) the way I fixed it was in kies being that stated above it's hard to get a Odin flash able 4.3 firmware. So I went into kies>tools>firmware upgrade/installation, (or something along those lines) a heads up you'll need your serial number and model number. Put all that in and it will tell you to put it into recovery mode (they really mean download mode not sure why they call it recovery) then plug it in and it'll download 4.3 and flash it to your device and voila! Not sure if it applies to you but it put my phone into safe mode. A reboot fixed that! I hope I helped you guys! Also another warning you will loose all your data.
Cheers!

Bump!
I am using the GS3 Toolkit v7.5.1 on a Sprint SPH-L710 totally stock untouched ROM.
I kinda made an alteration by adding the TWRP Recovery v2.6.3.1 for this Sprint GS3 variant, and renamed it to the TWRP recovery included with the Toolkit i.e. TWRP 2.5.0.0
Now while going through the Root/Recovery (ALLINONE) option, when Odin comes up, it sends the boot.img fine, but is now stuck on sending down recovery.img.
But I don't know enough about Odin or the GS3, to know if I can just shut down Odin, and it'll trigger the phone to reboot and I can not be sneaky, replace the original recovery, and try again?
This is what my phone says on the "Downloading..." screen
Code:
[COLOR="Red"][B]ODIN Mode[/B][/COLOR]
Product name: SPH-L710
Custom Binary Download: [B][COLOR="Green"]No[/COLOR][/B]

Can I shut down Odin, and manually reboot the phone to the Download mode, and repeat the process?
PLEASE Help!

[Q] Firmware upgrade encountered an issue

I have an SGH-1747 on AT&T. I already had the OTA 4.3 update on my phone and I wanted to simply wipe all of the apps off so it was a fresh 4.3 install as it was running slow. I went into the settings and did a factory wipe thinking that would wipe it back to original 4.3 but when it rebooted it hung on the AT&T screen.
I went into Recovery mode and wiped everything to factory refresh from there hoping that would fix it and it made it worse. Now when I reboot i simply get the Firmware upgrade encountered an issue and it asks me to use Kies to go into recovery mode. I did that multiple times and it never worked. Simply kept failing.
I am able to get into Download Mode but I can't seem to find a ODIN version of the 4.3 that I can try to flash it back to. I would love to go back to a 4.2 version if that would work but I stopped before I made it worse. In download mode it says
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (2 COUNTS) - Early on with 4.1 i had flash up to 4.2 using ODIN but i have on official AT&T release since
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL

QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

Any advice out there? I am thinking I soft bricked my phone but I am not sure?
PLEASE HELP!
There is no stock 4.3 AT&T ROM that can be flashed via Odin. You cannot downgrade the bootloader to an older version.

Thanks for the info. I actually got it fixed by giving in and going to best buy and the Samsung guys actually were able to flash it to a fresh 4.3 image. They knew it had a non factory image on it in the past based on the counter but they still did it. I'm all fixed now which was awesome.

Did you say it was recognized in Kies but firmware recovery failed? If so, and you were using Kies (not Kies 3), we may assume the last system update was not older than Android 4.1.1. I'll suggest you try these steps (in that order),i.e. if one doesn't work, try the next step ..
1. Try booting into recovery mode and doing a hard wipe/reset
2. Download the correct stock image from the thread below and flash via Odin. If you need help with flashing via Odin, please let me know
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 or visit Sammobile.com to download the correct stock image.
3. Open Kies. Do not connect the phone yet. Go to Tools => Firmware Upgrade and Initialization. Enter your phone model name (SGH-I747)=>OK and serial number. Check device information inside the battery compartment. Wait for firmware download to complete and you are prompted to connect the phone and follow the rest of the on-screen instructions.
4. Contact the vendor to find out what they did wrong and see what refund options you have
Ok, so I also wasn't able to get into recovery.
I decided to flash cwm via odin. After it flashed the phone rebooted and turned on normally. I have turned it on and off like 5 times and everytime it boots normal.....But, there is still a problem... baseband version is Unknown and there is no IMEI Number.

Oh, it's 4.3. Perhaps even better because you may be able to flash the 4.3 restore image. Your baseband/modem is corrupt or missing which is why it's showing the no baseband message.
Please see the thread below for the complete 4.3 stock restore image. Download the stock restore image and flash via custom recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Or you may just flash the 4.3 JB modem via custom recovery since you have custom recovery working. The modem zip can be found here ...

I suggested custom recovery and not custom ROM. The idea is to get your phone back in working order first. Flashing a complete stock restore image should do it. Please refer to the thread I forwarded earlier. You should be able to flash custom recovery (like CWM or TWRP) to your phone via Odin and then use the custom recovery to flash the stock restore image.

Knox Warranty Void 1 (HELP !!!!!)

Guys,
I have not kept up with Samsung phones and am totally lost. A friend brought me an ATT Note ii that to their knowledge had been rooted. When they tried to do an OTA update, it screwed up and now when i go to download mode, here is what is says:
ODIN MODE
Product name: SGH-I317
Custom Binary Download: YES (10 Counts)
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1
RP SWREV: A2
When I try to load a stock rom via Odin, it will go all the way to the end before it errors and show in Red "unsupported"
I would appreciate any help you have on this. I am totally lost but if anyone can fix it, you guys can, Thanks in advance
after doing a little research, i was able to load TWRP recovery, a pre-rooted stock rom of 4.3 and the 4.3 bootloader all though ODIN and got the phone back up and running. My next question is, with my knox warranty showing 1, what are my options as far as roms go? Am i stuck with the stock 4.3 ?

There are 4.4.2 ROMS in the Android Development threads. Remember to do backups before flashing

I'm in the same boat here...would you mind telling me how you were able to do this, and specifically, where did you find the rom and bootloader downloads?

If you can get into download mode, can flash 2.8.1.3 twrp via Odin.
Download the latest TWRP from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/t0lte
Copy a custom ROM to your external SD card.
Flash TWRP via Odin. Boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, flash ROM from external SD card, reboot.

Cant install TWRP after CF auto root bootloops phone, HELP.

I had 4.4.4 and flashed cf-auto-root trltrespr-smn910p. It said successful and auto rebooted into a bootloop. I tried downloading the twrp-2.8.7.0-trltespr.img.tar with odin3_v3.10.6 and no twrp. I unchecked autoboot, un plugged usb, battery for 10 seconds still nothing. Another problem is i lost the screenshot of the device info. Ive searched and triedwhat i could find but im at my whits end.
Try the NK2 stock tar. Backup internal sdcard (if you can) and wipe everything but extsdcard.
What you describe sounds like your bootloader is one of those that can't be downgraded. Have you ever been on Lollipop? {If so, you won't succeed getting it back to KitKat unless it never updated past OB7. In that case, you would have to Odin or KIES update to stock OG5. And root would only possible with kernel exploit on Beastmode kernel.}

Ugh, Ok I downloaded the firmware file OG5 from sam mobile and it fails? Ive tried
N910PVPU4COG5_N910PSPT4COG5_N910PVPU4COG5_HOME.tar.md5
N910PVPU1ANK2_N910PSPT1ANK2_N910PVPU1ANK2_HOME.tar.md5
twrp-2.8.7.0-trltespr.img.tar
I just moved and Im using a 3g connection in the evenings until we can find an internet company that works out in the country so this is really frustrating.
Im lost on what to try next? Any other suggestions???
A week has past; are you restoring a nandroid from TWRP recovery and booting that?
If so, what is your bootloader? Use galaxy tools or save your TWRP log to sdcard and read it; the bootloader is near the bottom.
Reasons for OG5 tar failing could be that the tar wasn't extracted or you don't have a stock kernel installed. Try that or describe your current setup regarding bootloader and kernel.
Have you tried to update through KIES?
What Odin or KIES failures are you getting?
Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
Sorry, I have 3 other company phones so Ive been using one of those. We just moved ourselves and my irrigation and landscape company, still no home internet. Life is tough right now between work and 3 kids with all their activites. I had responded but I see it didn't go through so if you will let me start again and maybe we can get this brick working.
I use odin3 v3.10.6. Ive tried to use the cfauto flash and it will not stick. Ive tried to download the stock tars above and they don't work. I cant get to a custom boot with everything Ive tried. I cant find more than the above tars to download to the phone. When I go into download mode the phone says
Odin mode (high speed)
product name:sm-n910p
current binary: Custom
System Status: official
Reactivation lock: off
knox warranty void: 0x1 (4)
qualcom secureboot: enable (csb)
rp swrev: s1, t3, r1, a4, p1
secure download : enable
udc start
so what should I try now? Im begging for mercy on this thing...
And I don't get fails, Odin says all threads succeeded 1 / 0 fail
Not sure I follow without a text of Odin and version you're flashing.
Had a guy in the forum last week that could get Odin to flash but phone kept boot looping and TWRP wouldn't flash a zip. Finally flashed CWM but still looped. I believe what he finally did was Odin flash stock tar with no auto reboot, factory reset in recovery (may have been Philz CWM), flashed Odin stock tar with auto reboot enabled. Pull battery for thirty seconds prior to stock tar flash.
