Hello,
I've got a little problem. I need to downgrade my m919 from 4.3 to 4.2.2, because i need 4.2.2 to unlock this phone, z3x does not support 4.3. Arleady I have 4.3 official installed, and I've heard that there is some problems during downgrade, and I dont want to brick this phone. Is there any solutions to downgrade to 4.2.2 ? I was looking for answer but didint find it.
Thank for a help.

Unfortunately that cannot be done, once you have upgraded to 4.3 MK2 you cannot downgrade.
But there are plenty of excellent custom roms which are 4.3 MK2 that you can flash.
NOTE: if you have flashed the official Tmobile MK2 4.3 Odin flash firmware/rom OR if you
have allowed the OTA update and or if you upgrading using KIES and your phone is not yet
rooted and does not have any custom recovery or custom rom in it then you don't need to worry
about your warranty, it will stay GOOD as long as you do not ROOT the phone and as long as
you do not flash any custom recoveries, roms or kernels.
Good luck!
I don't need excelent roms, i need to downgrade, because the Z3X doesn't support 4.3, and i cannot unlock this phone. Or is there any other ways to unlock this phone @ 4.3?
btw. Even if I would flash again stock 4.2.2 via odin and i would restore via CWM image from 4.2.2 it woudnt work?

Get an unlock service. You'd have to pay for that since I believe the 4.3 kernel has the CSC codes removed. No way to downgrade from 4.3 BL. Good luck.

If a level 1 CSR denies your claim, ask to be transferred to the loyalty department and let them know you will be travelling with your family and you would like to use your phone overseas. From several years of experience, they will e-mail you the unlock codes for each phone in seperate e-mails within 24-48 hours. Just remember, be polite if they first deny your claim.

I need to unlock my phone.
A step by step guide will help me big time. I updated to the newest update which is 4.3 but then people were saying if i downgrade it'll brick my phone. Is there any way to downgrade?
You need to be on a completely stock 4.1.1 ROM, including the bootloader. Since you have updated to the latest 4.3 ROM, you would have the 4.3 bootloader on your phone and this bootloader cannot be downgraded.

You are stuck as there is no way for you to revert to prior roms. You heard and read correctly...if you try and revert your phone to a version prior to 4.3, it will be nothing more than an expensive paperweight (bricked). If the phone is an AT&T model, call AT&T and see if they will give you the unlock code.

Just waiting for them to send me the code, hopefully they will :| Thanks for everyone that replied
I didnt see this on the other thread about sim unlock for the original t-mobile S3 so my apologies if this method has been posted before.
I have tested this on SGH-T999L aka theLTE version of the S3 for T-Mobile. I did this on 4.1.2 and it will more likely not work on 4.3. I havent tested it on T999N (Metro PCS version) but if someone does and it works, let us know
1. Go to https://towelroot.com/ and download towelroot. Install it and run it. Now you are rooted.
2. Install RegionLock Away
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470551
3. Run it and grant root and reboot and now you are unlocked.
Optional step
4. Update through Kies to 4.3 and it will work despite being rooted (Device Status shows "Official" if rooted through towelroot). Update fails if you do it through the settings so this is the only to update besides odin/flashing
I test it an AT&T Straight Talk and everything was working with LTE
Thanks! I had run Region Lock Away to confirm it was safe to try a while back, but was never able to test if it actually SIM unlocked the device. If it worked on 4.1.2, I think there is a good chance it would also work on 4.3. This needs confirmation though.
Also, SIM unlocking is permanent, so it should remain unlocked regardless of how you update or if you flash any custom roms.
It may also be possible to unlock 4.3 this way, I suggested a couple people to try this but they never replied with any feedback so don't know if it worked or not. This method works on the S4 with 4.3 but I think you have to downgrade the modem if I remember correctly, or it may only be needed for 4.4.2. The same might apply here
I am guessing that you need to have a stock based ROM. I attempted it with Carbon ROM and got "Could not locate CSC data!"
Yup, gotta be stock to unlock, whether you are using a dialer code or any other methods.

So, StockMod or S3Rx should work?
Not sure tbh. The dialer has to be unmodified stock. And I'm not certain if one of the system apps like keystring or factoryapp, or one of the others would be needed. Some custom roms debloated these, not sure about those two. (They probably didnt, but I can't say for sure. ) you could try it, but if it doesn't take, try flashing stock with Odin. Root66 should be ok if you do

The patch returns with Successful on S3Rx. I will have to wait til I get home to test it with another Sim card to see if it actually works.

Does not work on 4.3 build NC1.
I get a hold of alot of phones and work at cell phone repair shop so i always try to find ways to unlock them instead of wasting money on unlock codes. On the S4 you have to downgrade the modem and sometimes roms on 4.3/4.4 to unlocked them. So if we can downgrade the modem, i think we can unlock on 4.3.

Well, it wont brick, but downgrading the modem simply just doesnt work. No signal or anything. That's why the free unlock no longer works on 4.3.

Hi i'm attempting to unlock my Brother's S4 for him. I haven't unlocked anything manually in nearly 2 years back when I did my EVO. But his phone is currently 4.3 and it's M919. The couple guides that I found that seemed simple enough require I be at 4.4.2. But my problem is when I try to update his phone manually, it will update it to 4.4.4, which is clearly newer. So my problem is, How do I go about this? Is anything available for 4.3 that I didn't find yet or is there something i'm missing?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks
No unlocking with Tmobile.
Read the threads. ???
Pp.
You trying to carrier unlock? I just did this last night mine also came 4.3 there are some great guides that explain how to do this. Basically you need to download the stock 4.2.2 firmware and flash it in Odin then you need to flash the UAV modem file then you can get into the service menu and unlock(this did not work for me) if this doesn't work you need to root then install regionaway apk and this will region and carrier unlock you this worked for me. Next you need to flash stock 4.3 or 4.4.4 its been over 10 days since you made this post so if you still trying to unlock your brothers phone reply here and I will find the guides and post them.

1) the SGHI747 comes with unlocked bootloader. (bricked my first trying to "unlock" it. lol. now anyways).
2) do you know your current bootloader/modem version ?
3) you know this is the att thread , right?
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
Its running the bootloader for 4.4.2 it was already upgraded to kk all ive done sofar is to root it and flash a custom 4.4.2 rom on it.
Yes its the att s3 its actually a friend of mines phone hes on tmobile but his mother is on att from which he got the phone from.
I had no problems doing this to my note 2 but this s3 seems to be a little bit more finicky
We talked to att customer service just a few minutes ago and they said his mom needs to be the one to fill out the form online which is an option.....but he really needs his phone up now and att csr said it will take another 3-5 days to get the code.....I jist figured I could do it easily and faster lol since i am a flashaholic and unlocked many of the other GS phones
I have found a thread about a modified downgrade firmware to odin back to 4.1.2 that will allow me to unlock from there....

well if bootloader is NE4 or NJ1 all i've ever read says that to downgrade will brick the phone. but..... if you can get to 4.1.1 there is a code to enter from the dial pad that will unlock. if someone has found a workaround to downgrade that would be awesome. save a lot of people a lot of trouble. if you dont mind please post results and the link to the thread.:good:

I'm also on KK. My device is a I747M. I tried the 4.1.1 downgrade few minutes ago. The Service mode code works but one option is not available because modem cannot be downgraded.

Hmm not good.....yea im on ne4 and was hoping that worked....guess my buddy is going to have to go the other route.
That was the way I was planning to go....downgrade and use the menu code
Downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.1.1 i747
does any tried downgrading from this? 4.4.2 to 4.4.1
im using i747 kitkat 4..4.2
can i downgrade it using samsung kies3?
In order to unlock, you need to be running the 4.1.1 bootloader. Once the phone is running a 4.3 or higher bootloader, you can't downgrade the bootloader.
Thats where Sammy pisses off its main users
At&t sent him the unlock code but its not working and also has the warning that if you try 5 or more times that the device will be permanently locked to at&t.
Any ideas there?
Are you getting the prompt to enter the unlock code? Are you running a stock dialler?

Hello,
I just bought my first Galaxy device (had a CDMA LG for a while, and I have a Nexus Tablet), and I am looking at how to get this new phone set up right. I bought my i747 retail, so I was unable to unlock it. However, now I'm struggling with finding the right method for upgrading, rooting, etc. I know nothing about knox or any of these Samsung intricacies. Could someone please give me a little guidance on how to go about getting to the OS and status that I'm looking for? This is what I've done so far:
Came unrooted with 4.1.2 stock rom
Unlocked using legit unlock code
Tried OTA updates, but none were available (must be because of unlock)
Rooted w/ ODIN using 4.1.1 file based of MrRobinson method. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426)
Now I keep getting popups like process. ... .acore,media, etc. stopped.
I'm looking to ideally get a custom recovery (either CWM or TWRP, whichever is better) and either kitkat Touchwiz or possibly kitkat nexus stock (I read somewhere that it was possible). Also, i just bought it, and have the code still, so I don't mind deleting everything if needed. Regardless, I'd like the ability to get it back to pure stock with no flash counter (I have a manufacturer's warranty I want to use if need be).
Could someone please just give me a little guidance? I'm pretty capable with rooting, etc., so you'd only need to lead me to other threads, etc. that will take me where I want to go. Thank you very much.
Before flashing or doing anything else, confirm the bootloader on your phone. Download and install the Samsung Phone Info app from the playstore and post your bootloader.

Well, the bad news is I already flashed using MrRobinson's instructions, and now my phone is barely workable, as things like process.android.media and Touchwiz keep crashing. I was able to install the info app though, and my bootloader is listed as I747UCDLK3. Thanks again though, and let me know what else you need from me.
I recommend starting over by flashing the stock AT&T 4.1.1 firmware from sammobile. Once flashed, boot the phone and make sure your phone is sim unlocked. If it isn't sim unlocked, unlock it using the free method or your unlock code.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-I747/
After sim unlocking, run OTA updates until you have the latest stock AT&T ROM on your phone. Upgrading the phone's bootloader and modem is the easiest way to do it for someone that is new to the phone and custom ROMs.

Thank you, but wouldn't OTA updates install Knox, which would basically void my warranty if I tried to flash anything after that? And, I've checked for OTA updates twice, once on 4.1.2 and on 4.1.1, and both times it said my software was up to date.
I spoke with StoneyJSG about my situation, and he suggested that I go to stock 4.1, root w/ saferoot, then flash a kitkat custom rom without Knox through TWRP. That way, I could use triangle away and flash stock unrooted if I needed to send it in.
Although, I'm not sure if I should do that, as I thought I read that you need to update the radio and bootloader first before you can install a custom kitkat rom from jelly bean, but I'm still not entirely sure how that works.
The most recent release of many custom ROMs will not work but you may not have a signal without an updated modem and you should not be running updated modems on an older bootloader. Doing this could brick your phone.
With a rooted system, OTA updates will not work.
Thank you again for helping walk me through the minutia around this phone.
I think I have a much better understanding of everything now. I read the following article on Knox (http://omegadroid.co/wanted-knox-void-warranty-0x1/) and with an understanding of that, I get now that there is no way to load any custom rom on 4.3 or higher without losing my warranty.
So, basically my options are to stay at 4.1 and flash whatever, using triangle away to erase my tracks. Or, I could update to 4.3, but only be able to use saferoot/towelroot, otherwise I'd trip the warranty void. But, if all I did use was towelroot (no custom recovery or rom), then I could just unroot the phone using the full unroot option in SuperSU and send it on in for service if needed, right?
Also, I did unroot my phone and did a factory reset, so it's back at 4.1.1 and unrooted. Yet, I still do not see any software updates available from Samsung. I even plugged it into Kies, and nothing (http://i.imgur.com/E0xPGpf.png). Does anyone know why this could be? Does it have something to do with my not having a carrier for the phone yet? I'm sorry for all the questions, but I do appreciate your help.

What is your cell service? If not AT&T, you will never get OTA.
Whether you get OTA can vary from carrier to carrier and phone to phone in my opinion.
I have a Rogers HTC One X that gets OTA updates from HTC even though I am on the Bell network.
I have a Bell S3 that is running on the Rogers network and it receives OTA updates from Bell even though it has a Rogers sim card in the phone.
I have a Telus Moto G running on the Bell network and it received the Telus KK OTA update while connected to the Bell network.

Well, I have an AT&T model which I unlocked and will be putting on Cricket at the end of the week (when my plan month is set to end). Right now there's no SIM in it, and I've been doing everything over wifi. I looked up whether the carrier had something to do with the OTAs, and I was told that Samsung sent the updates out, not AT&T, so I figured that the carrier info was irrelevant. I now wonder what my options are.
Can I manually flash 4.3 stock without tripping the knox warranty void?
Does Towelroot/Xposed framework trip the Knox void flag?
If I can update to 4.3/4.4 and root without tripping the knox flag, I might just manually update and just run towelroot and xposed to modify my OS the best I can until my warranty runs out.
If I can't root it at all once I'm on 4.3+, then I'll just sit on 4.1.1 for a few months until I can't stand it anymore and just void the warranty anyway.
Thanks again everyone. This whole knox/binary counter thing is not something I dealt with on my CDMA LG or Nexus, so I was totally in the dark about how it all worked. This is also my first GSM phone, so all those intricacies are new to me too. Once I know about manually flashing stock and running towelroot/xposed, I think I'll be in good shape.
Flashing the stock 4.3 ROM should not trip the counter as long as you do not need to install a custom recovery to flash it.
Apparently, the latest KK stock ROM cannot be rooted using Towelroot.
If you want a custom ROM, use one that will work with a 4.1.1 bootloader and modem. Once on 4.3 or higher, it's a little harder to recover from a soft brick.

Excellent. If I did flash stock, i would just use ODIN, then factory reset to wipe the caches. And that's good to know about the KK rom, as I would probably update straight to 4.4 if at all (I've read a lot of bad things about 4.3 on the S3), but not if it means I cannot root safely and cleanly.
I'll check out the custom roms for 4.1.1. I know that flashing the rom and/or a custom recovery will trip the binary counter, but I can just use triangle away to clean that up. Do you know if there is a list of custom 4.1.1/4.1.2 roms somewhere, or do I need to scour the older threads here?
Thank you very much audit13 (thanks to StoneyJSG and pre4speed as well). You have been immensely helpful and really brought me up to speed on everything surrounding S3 customization. Needless to say it's way more complicated than what I've dealt with from LG and Google/Asus. (I mean, i could root my nexus with a single click using Wugfresh's toolkit)
4.1.1 is the only complete stock ROM that AT&T released for flashing via Odin.
4.3 ROMS and higher were prepared by XDA members for flashing in either a custom recovery or Odin.

Oh, so what other way can you flash a stock rom, if not through ODIN or a custom recovery? Regardless, it seems as though I really should not dive into 4.3+ until I'm ready to concede that my warranty is over. There are just too many potential pitfalls and headaches.
On the lighter side, I've found a few 4.1.2 based custom roms that have some promise. I'm going to post them here in case anyone has opinions on them, or if someone else in my situation sees this thread and wants to go custom 4.1 too:

I was also torn when I got my s3 that was running 4.1.2. I downgraded to 4.1.1, sim unlocked the phone, used it on stock 4.1.2 for about a week to make sure everything was working, hardware wise, upgraded to stock 4.4.2, installed a custom recovery and a custom ROM. I wasn't too concerned about the warranty since I got the phone as a free upgrade and had no intention of using the s3 as my daily phone. I kept it as a backup until my niece needed and phone and then it went to her. It's been over a year and there are still no problems with the phone.
