Hi Guys,
I am asking this question after 3-4 days of searching on XDA... here it goes....
I updated my T999 via kies to 4.3 ... hate it, it has knox which doesn't let me root properly. I tried going back to previous android versions, tried with odin but its not letting me, it gets FAIL error . Tried to install a custom rom " liquid smooth" get error 7" . Seems like I cannot flash anything .....
Long story short, if there is any way to flash a custom rom "i.e. liquidsmooth" on my SGH-T999 which is on Official firmware 4.3 - which has knox in it. I want custom rom without any knox in it.
Thanks in advance :good:
First you need to Root and install custom Recovery. Please get into Download mode and try to flash custom Recovery. If that succeeds then please flash ATT Insecure Kernel.

Here is a noob question, will flashing an ATT insecure kernel would get rid of know, & then i can install any rom?
No it won't remove Knox. You need Knox Remover for that. The insecure Kernel only allows you to get stable Root.
Hi, Thanks a lot for your reply
As of now I have successfully removed Knox
However even now I cannot install a custom rom, first i got status 7 error, therefore i removed asserts from the rom but now I am getting error saying Installation Aborted, tried with both CWM and TWRP but error persists.. Any idea how to overcome it?
Thanks!

Use another Rom. Liquid had some issues with certain bootloaders.
To Get Bootloder, install GetProp from Play Store and look for ro.bootloader.

Please can you first update TWRP to 2.6.3.1 ? Then try Liquidsmooth again. If it fails, try Slim Bean 4.3

Hi, I updated TWRP tried flasing rom, no vain,
reflash firmware, tried liquidsmooth 2.0 was stuck at liquid smooth logo for one hour, reflashed back to 4.3
:crying:
You can flash any 4.3 Rom. The new Bootloader will prevent you from flashing older Roms.
Any attempts to flash older bootloader will hard brick your phone.

Hi im new on this forum and I would like to have some tricks and tips cause I just rooted my phone yesterday and it seems more difficult to find information for my phone I have a galaxy s3 on 4.3 sgh i747m with Rogers .... Is it me or there is just a lot more stuff made for the i9300... I have tried to find ROM'S and tricks to put CWM recovery but it's harder to find information !!
to put CWM recovery I saw a lot of stuff saying download rom manager and install CWM recovery with this app but they offer me a version of CWM recovery for a galaxy s3 (metro cps) they doesn't say if it's made for a sgh i747 so im really scared to do something wrong if I install this version of CWM recovery ..
Could some one help me maybe with website limks or a guide for beginers noob like me or this forum seem's to be really good with some people with knowledge
Before my galaxy s3 I had a Jailbreak Iphone 3gs a year ago but Rooting an Android and putting stuff on it is not really the same thing it's far away from it!
And does it matter if put some stuff on my phone made for at&t sprint etc.... even if those are sgh i747
Hey,
I am running CM11 d2att and CWM d2att on my i747m and it works perfectly. It has been so long since I did it that I can't remember the exact steps that I took, so I would do some more research. Everything I needed to know was on these forums somewhere.
I believe the rough steps I took were:
- Root
- Install CWM (d2att)
- Update bootloaders (i747m)
- Flash d2att rom
But I can't remember exactly, so do some research before you go ahead!
You can install pretty much whatever you'll find in these forums except for bootloaders and modems.
There are specific bootloaders/modem for the i747m vs. i747.
The rest, unless explicitely specified otherwise, is 100% compatible between i747 and i747m.
As for your recovery script, I would suggest installing TWRP instead of CWM.
TWRP is more user friendly for people that are new to Android and both are usually supported.
For this, go to the Play Store, download and install the "Goo manager" application.
Once installed, open up the app, hit the menu button and select the "install recovery script" option.
It will automatically select/download/install the correct recovery for your phone and ask you to confirm before doing so.

I recommend not updating your phone to any stock 4.3 ROM. A stock 4.3 ROM will install a 4.3 bootloader which cannot be downgraded and may cause problems when trying to root or get back to stock.
Some newer ROMs require an updated bootloader in order to install and boot. I am running a 4.1.2 bootloader on my i747m and don't have any problems installing 4.4.2 ROMs.
Rooting gives you access to the system files and does not unlock you bootloader.
For installing custom ROMs, I use Philz Touch which is based on CWM. I have tried TWRP and I was getting errors when flashing custom ROMs. I was able to flash the same ROM using Philz Touch without a problem. TWRP is more user friendly but doesn't work as well for me.

Your post says youhave 4.3 on your phone. Is it a stock 4.3 ROM?
d2att (i747) is the AT&T version of the s3. Canada has the i747m.
The bootloader does not need to be unlocked in order to install a custom recovery or to root like Motorola phones.
The bootloader is software that an OS works with in order to function as a phone.

yes its the 4.3 jelly bean stock rom
but can I put any custom rom for my model the i747 or 747m ? The carrier doesn't have any importance ?
Any warranty left on your phone? Installing a custom ROM will void your warranty.
If you want to install a custom rom, copy the ROM you want to the internal or external SD card, install Philz Touch recovery, boot into recovery, wipe cache, Dalvik, install the ROM, and reboot.
You can install any ROM for the d2att as long as the ROM supports the phone's bootloader.
How I know which bootloader I got? If I have the 4.3 jelly bean I have a 4.3 boot loader?

Since you have TWRP installed, you not flash custom ROMs. Look around for a ROM you like, download it to your phone's SD card, boot into recovery, wipe cache, Dalvik, flash ROM, reboot.

He meant you CAN flash custom roms.
As long as the rom isn't packaged with a modem or bootloader you can flash any AT&T rom as you please.

so i have a rooted at&T galaxy s3 on the latest stock firmware which i guess is 4.3. i tried flashing resurrection rom which was kit kat and it failed. so i restored my back up and the phone would get stuck on the splash screen. so i formated the whole phone and forgot to save my backup to my sdcard. twrp now says that i have no OS installed and also says i am not rooted anymore. im scared and need a little assistance. i just want to get it going.
Just flash the latest TWRP, copy a custom ROM to your phone, boot into TWRP, and flash it.

i bought a micro sc card reader and transfered a superuser zip and an old 4.3 beanstalk rom. it flashed fine last night. i used my phone all day and downloaded the latest 4.3 beanstalk rom and just tried to flash it and it FAILED. This is the second time i had a flash fail. I tried flashing that old beanstalk rom again and it failed too! what the heck???? my battery is a little low.....does twrp have some kind of safety built in where it wont flash if bettery is low?
ok...so i flashed cwm because im more familiar it than twrp. then i flashed an old slimbean 4.3 rom i had. everything worked fine and the phone booted up perfectly. i dont want slim bean so i rebooted into cwm and tried to flash the newest 4.3 beanstalk rom and it failed.....why?

no its not based on kitkat. i flashed an older version of cwm via odin. i figured i could just update it with rom manager. i tried to update cwm to the latest verion and it fails everytime. so...i downloaded root checker from the play store and it says im not rooted. i need to fix this lol
im running a custom rom but yet root checker says its not rooted...hmm
Flash the latest Philz and. Validus as I know that is a rooted ROM. Personally, I don't use ROM manager.

Rooting is not needed to flash another ROM. Just boot into recovery, wipe, and flash another ROM.

There is no stock ATT 4.3 ROM because ATT only released 4.3 as an OTA update. Do not flash any 4.3 firmware (even from sammmobile.com) unless it has been compiled for installation via Odin. Check the development threads for firmware that can be flashed via Odin.

cf-auto root, or flash SuperSU with custom recovery.
T999LUVUBNF4 Root
Hey, I've been trying to root my S3 running the T999LUVUBNF4 firmware, but I'm having trouble. Towelroot doesn't support it, I haven't seen anything about a Root66, and I've heard mixed reports on CF-auto root. Does anyone know if there is a workable solution yet? How would I go about flashing SuperSU? Thanks.
Okay I've recently just flashed the root66 firmware that gave me supersu and all that.
My question is... Where do i go from here?
How would i proceed to
1) Install TWRP?, which version as well? Is 2.8 d2tmo fine? Can i have some instructions whether i use TWRP manager(goomanager doesn't seem to exist anymore) or do i have to go into download and flash through odin 3.09?
2) Installing a custom rom? I want to install Paranoid Android 4.6 beta 5 for D2lte but i'm not sure how to go about it. I have already downloaded the rom itself but not sure how to proceed from here. Also, how would i get the working and latest version of Gapps? (Also, can you tell me how to install Cyanogenmod 11 for d2lte as well?)
3) What are some cool apps to get?
4) Which root apps/roms/softwares will brick my phone? I'm never sure which thing will work and which won't.
5) how do i install xposed?
6) How do i remove all the bloatware? and how would i got about flashing through my phone without using the computer? is mobile odin compatible with my phone?
My phone is the SGH-T999L and i have no idea if i have a locked bootloader and how i would go about and bypass the limitations of this locked bootloader

Please don't post the same thing on multiple threads. Not being rude but it doesn't help at all
Rooting SGH-T99L with T999LUVUBNF4
I've read most of the more recent posts, and it is still unclear to me how to root my T999L which is already on the T999LUVUBNF4 baseband and build. I've seen references to cf-auto-root (like serio22 above), but the T999 (which I believe works for T999L) is based on T999UVALEM, which is 4.0.4 ICS. I certainly don't want to downgrade that far. The latest firmware on the first page of this Root66 thread is T999L_UVUBNC1, and there was a post indicating better reception with the newer modem, so I'd rather not downgrade that either. If I flash T999L_UVUBNC1 will my baseband remain intact (BNF4)? Or should I wait for a pre-rooted T999L_UVUBNF4? Or is there a better way altogether to root my T999L/BNF4?
Also, for other n00bs reading this, it's pretty clear that towelroot doesn't work on BNF4.
Thanks!!

When flashing directly onto blank partition, I got some error about missing build.prop, and so decided to try flashing on top of stock ROM.
Stock I have installed as Flash PureStock Rom + Secure UVAMB7 Kernel (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43772060&postcount=3) -- again, in multiboot -- and tried installing OTA on top of that. Got "error executing updater binary in zip"

slimkat v9 to stock tw
Please help me. I have a sgh-t999. I want to know is it safe to install stock tw t999_uvuenc2. I'm currently running slimkat v9. My baseband is t999uvuenc2 and my android version is 4.4.4 i really want my s3 to revert back to stock. Ive been asking to the roms posted in this unit if it safe to direct flash but i havent got a good advice. I really want the stock touchwiz. Pls help me.
Which firmware to use
After I un-bricked my SGH-T999 with the debrick image sdcard ( YAYYY), I was able to boot with the stock 4.3 rom again.
I reflash the root66 4.3 firmware hoping it could get the correct boot image back in place. However it got stuck at the Samsung logo.
So I went into stock recovery and did a wipe/factory reset. Now I can still boot with the debrick sdcard but I am back in JellyBean (4.1.2 T999UVDMD5).
Which firmware should I flash 4.3 or 4.1.2? And did I miraculously downgraded my firmware ( I thought it wasn't possible) ?

You still have M919 bootloader, so just flash a recovery with Odin
Edit: the only thing that you updated to 5.0 is the system and kernel

New Phone, Who dis?
Hello, Huskied here, And I am requesting help installing this Nougat safely on this Galaxy S4 on T-Mobile.
Keep in mind, This is still on 4.4.4 KitKat, Haven't installed an update just yet, unrooted, and it's a SGH-M919 type.
Build Number KTU84P .M919UVUFNH7
any help would be appreciated.
Here's what I would do:
Flash the latest stock ROM from Sammobile.com with Odin;
Flash twrp for the m919;
Save the rom and appropriate gapps to the phone's internal storage or sdcard; and
Flash the custom ROM, flash gapps, reboot.

Thank you. And one more thing, Some ROMs require LP Bootloader. Where can I get that?
Flashing the latest stock ROM will give you the latest bootloader.

Tried today, Couldn't find any stock ROM for the jfltetmo. Found a bootloader that's supposed to boot the ROM I would like, Failed and could only boot into recovery until I restored 4.4.4.
Any thoughts?
If the phone baseband is running these latest fok3 ROM, that is the newest bootloader for the phone as indicated here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s4/SGH-M919/TMB/
Btw, that nougat in the original is not for the m919 so don't flash it as it may hard brick phone.
