[Q] Is there a way to return to stock 4.3 OTA?

I need to give my AT&T S3 to my Mom. Is there a way I can have my phone return to stock condition (no root,stock recovery,data wiped) on the 4.3 OTA? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

If you are already on TW either 4.1.1 or 4.3 then just ODIN back the 4.3 update.

You can only Odin 4.3 on an I747M if you're on AT&T with an I747 there is no .tar.md5 yet thus no Odin and there is no flashing backwards. If you try to overwrite the bootloaders with an older version you get a hard brick. When you try to flash an older firmware let's say 4.0.1 for example it will contain bootloaders, a kernel, a rom and a modem and it will hard brick the phone.
The thread you linked is for a 4.3 leak and runs mj2 bootloaders which is older than his current version of MJB. Also the thread you linked doesn't have any odin flashable files in it. Those are .Zip files flashable through a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM.
This could have been really bad for someone if they even tried what you linked. Locally it takes 2-4 days and $50.00 to get a phone Jtag'ed.

[Q] downgrade from 4.3uvuenc2 to 4.3uvuemjc can brick my t999?

Hi guys
I have my t999 running the last ota 4.3 (uvuenc2) and want to install this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501303 who require to run 4.3 uvuemjc modem.
As far as i know downgrading from 4.3 can brick the phone, but if Im downgrading from 4.3 to this previous version of 4.3 I have the same risk of bricking the device?
I already rooted my t999, install custom recovery and disable knox, but when installed uvuemjc modem the phone lost the network signal, so went back to previous modem and dont try to go further until got more info.

Downgrading with custom ROMs won't brick you.. You also don't need to downgrade the modem, leave the modem alone and just flash the ROM

[Q] How to upgrade(noob question)

I have a rooted Galaxy S3 SGH-T999. Currently I'm running Android 4.1.1 Jellybean. I would like to upgrade to 4.3. I just need to know what steps to follow to do so. I tried to download Odin and for some reason I have not been able to locate a good copy. I do have Kies Air but I'm unfamiliar with which way I need to go. Please point me in the right direction so that I can upgrade my device.

Odin won't work with kies installed. Uninstall kies then follow one of the Odin guides to update.

Thank you for the link!

You guys have been great. Thanks. One last question from this Noob. What steps do I need to follow so that I will not brick my Galaxy S3? I know I need to backup my phone. Do you have a suggestion on what I should use to do that? I assume once that has been done I just follow the steps that I saw on youtube and use Odin to add the upgrade.

Once rooted, get terminal emulator installed from the store. Then enter this:
su
reboot nvbackup

If you wish to backup user data then use Titanium Backup Root or My Backup Root app from Play Store.
Do Note, if you follow the Odin update correctly, the user data will be undisturbed.

Okay great! Thx guys. I think this may have been for not though. I have not been successful in finding a 4.3 ROM that will work with my baseband T999UVDLJC.

If I recall right, I had Liquidsmooth 4.3 on LJC bootloader. I most definitely had LJC Baseband / Modem/Radio up until Kitkat. In January changed my modem to UVUEMJC

That is good to know. I'm sorry about my noob questions. So do I use Odin & download any 4.3 ROM and then flash the modem? I'm not sure how to proceed now.

Flash modems in recovery just like a rom.

help with unlock and root...please..

hello i have a tmobile s3 shg-t99 4.1.2 baseband version t999uvdmd5 and would like to know best way to root and unlock it so i can use it with at&t..

You don't need to root it, but if you want to root it anyway I suggest flashing root66 firmware.. Unlock thread is in general, you will need to downgrade to 4.1.1 LJA firmware for it to work.. You can also just flash the LJA baseband in custom recovery and then continue with unlock procedure.. Up to you

Rooting is no problem.. And yes you can flash the LJA firmware in that thread, or flash LJA modem with custom recovery

Na NI3 is metropcs' version of nh7. But Yeah you can

I've been having issue with LTE causing my mobile connection to drop on AT&T with my M919, is there anything different about the MetroPCS modem that might alleviate the issues that I'm having?
