Hi guys,
I have looked at numerous threads and just can't find exactly what I need or maybe I'm too dumb/too much of a noob to understand what I need, I am on CM10.1 nightlies with CWM and I can no longer flash the nightlies. It gives me assert fail messages. After some digging, I think the problem is that I need to update the bootloader as they no longer support the ICS bootloader (I am assuming I am on ICS bootloader, how would I know?). But then I couldn't find the latest bootloader and how to install it. Is that even the problem? Any help is appreciated or even if you can point me to the right thread, that would be awesome. Thanks for the help.

I'm not 100% sure what the problem is, but I'll take you through step-by-step of what I'd do if my phone were giving me this problem.
Double check the md5sums of the CM10.1 Nightly Zip: It doesn't seem like this is the problem, but it's always the first thing I check.
Update your modem/firmware/baseband: I know the most recent build of LiquidSmooth require you to be on baseband MD4. You can get it over on Freeza's thread. The file you're looking for is:
MD4 Firmware:
MD4 Firmware/modem/baseband update
MD5: EEEAFDBE59CF9C5B492B1A591EC92D02
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All you have to do is wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash this Rom in your recovery. Reboot and now you're on MD4.
Update your Recovery: I normally run the latest and greatest TWRP, but others like the stability of some of the older builds. I'd flash the latest 2.5.0.0 TWRP from Naddict's thread.
Those would be the first three things I'd try.

Yes that most definitely was his problem, the new cm10.1 nightlies require the md4 firmware update because of the bootloader.

i have samsung epic 4g touch i have rooted this fone with Touched By S4 Rom for rooted Epic 4G Touch(GB27) rom
but the main problem is phone is getting restarted abruptly can any one please guide me to install latest / stable kernel with stock / stable rom also the data pack is not working in that Touched By S4 Rom rom please help me
following are the screen shots of my cell fone
Your data is not working cuz you have an ICS modem, you probably need to install the one click stock to correctly partition your phone as TBSGS4 is a very stable ROM. Your Software and Baseband versions are both FI03 so you need to do the one click to use Jelly Bean TouchWiz. Find it here- http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=166

What he is saying is that you have to first install the Jelly Bean system, and then re-flash the TBSGS4 rom, as this insures that you are on proper operating system for that Rom to work correctly. He included a link that has step by step directions on how to do it.

Yes, follow the directions in the link, boot it up, use Mobile Odin to flash a custom recovery (kernel in .tar format), then reflash TBSGS4.
I mean everything you are wanting to know is actually in the first 4 posts of the Touched by S4 ROM thread... You really need to read up about what you are doing and understand it as well. There are plenty resources at your fingertips, use them. All the information is already posted many times in the threads here, you can't expect people to post it over and over again, it is your job as a user to search. I told you your problem and linked you to all the relevant information to solve it, the rest is up to you.
I'm trying to help out a friend and update his Galaxy S3 SGH-I747. He originally had cyanogenmod installed but he restored his phone back to stock and flashed a stock recovery back to the phone. When he tries to do an OTA updated it downloads but fails to install? His current android version is 4.1.1 but his baseband is I747UCUFNE4 which if im not mistaken is for android 4.4.2 what would be the easiest way to get his phone updated to the stock 4.4.2 software?

Thanks, I had found the last link (....2789917) by doing a Google search (i.e., searching within the forum was less successful).
Hey bmoliver and BWolf56,
I am in the same boat as your friend where my baseband (bootloader) version is I747UCUFNE4 but the software version is stuck at 4.1.1. AT&T is identifying a OTA update, downloading but the update is failing.
I tried the method described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789917. But when I am trying to flash MJB bootloader, it is failing. I read elsewhere in this forum that downgrading from UCU to MJB is not really advisable.
I am stuck in 4.1.1 and my phone is half functional at the moment with the camera, nfc, bluetooth not functional :crying:.
Was your friend able to get this resolved bmoliver?
I tried searching for a I747UCUFNE4 md5 file that I can flash using odin (just a hope that it might work) but could not find.
It would be great if one of you can point me to it.
PS: I am a complete newbie to this entire thing and so far from what I read, my phone is probably soft-bricked and am hoping that someone would guide and help me get out of this.
EDIT: One more thing that I observed is when I am trying flash something in the download mode, I get the error and "sw rev check fail fused 3 binary 0" and it fails
Thanks,
CJ

You don't want to downgrade bootloaders, that will brick your phone.
You'll have to flash NE4 with Odin (or a NE4 custom ROM through custom recovery) to get your baseband and software matching.
The thread you linked should work if you follow it to a T. If something doesn't work, let us know and be specific about what happened.
Thanks for the info BWolf56,
Sorry for asking a trivial question (just getting accustomed to the lingo used here) .
When you say I should follow it to a T, are you just referring to follow all the steps.
I tried two things
1. follow each step, but failed at step 3 since I was trying to downgrade my bootloader.
2. I jumped from step 2 to step 6 and tried to flash 4.4.2OTA.zip in recovery mode but that also failed. I dont remember the exact error I got, I can try it again to give you more details if you think it is safe.
Thanks

If you jumped to #6, you didn't flash a custom recovery, which you need to flash the OTA.
I did install TWRP 2.6.3.1 which I am guessing is the custom recovery (as part of step 2) and then I tried to flash the OTA. Am I missing something here?

Sounds like you'll have to use Odin to flash Stock.
Your build.prop is most likely borked (or has been changed to something it's not). d2u is not a variant of the S3, nor does it exist.
Thanks a ton for helping me identify the problem.
I just have to look if a stock file to flash using odin is out there somewhere.
I will post in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789917 to see if enewman17 or someone from the community have a tar or md5 file that I can use.
I will try that and update on how it goes.

There isn't a NE4 stock for Odin. I just noticed the post hasn't been updated in a while.
I though I could find it on Sammobile.com but they have LK3 as their latest too.
Since you somehow have the 4.4.2 modem, you can not flash anything older than the 4.4.2 firmware. Currently there is nothing that you can flash to fix this. Normally, I would say to flash an older modem, but if Odin is seeing it as already updated to 4.4.2 (SWREV 3), and the only thing you have that is 4.4.2 is the modem, flashing anything older will likely hard brick.
You need either the full stock firmware, which there is not one, Thanks AT&T!, or a recovery flashable firmware for 4.4.2. Enewman17 has this, but it will not work for you because of how the modem is flashed. For some reason, he has it patching the 4.3 modem rather than including the full updated one like with the other partitions. If someone makes the same thing, but with the already updated modem, you could probably flash that. No guarantees though. Running 4.1.1 firmware/bootloaders with a 4.4.2 modem is a scenario which is highly unpredictable, so anything you try to flash might cause more problems, we just don't know.
I've PM'd enewman17 to ask if there was a specific reason he updated the modem the way he did. If there is not an issue doing it like i mentioned someone can try to make a new package like that for you to try.
Thanks Doc!
Hopefully enewman17 can come up with a solution for this.
Just an information which I was not able to completely comprehend but maybe pros like you or Bwolf56 will be able to.
I opened Kies and this is what it says.

This is the latest firmware.

Any thoughts on how do I get the PDA and CSC updated (not even sure what exactly they are)

Ok, enewman17 just put this together if you want to try it. This includes the full NE4 stock firmware minus system, kernel, cache and recovery.
So flashing it will preserve your current Rom, kernel and recovery, but will otherwise fully update your base firmware/bootloaders to NE4.
This should be perfectly safe to use, but seeing as it is untested, I cannot make any guarantees that it won't make things worse. (I wouldn't post it if I thought it would, but there is always the possibility)
Flash from custom recovery such as TWRP.

What bootloader is on your phone? You need to confirm that before proceeding. If you have a 4.4.2 bootloader and you use the 4.3 restore procedure, you could brick your phone.

Yes, that is 4.3. Make sure you read the instructions very carefully. Flashing is always risky and there is always a chance that you wind up bricking the phone.

Yes, but any more risky than flashing to the Carbon rom I just loaded?
Normally, flashing custom ROMs such as Liquid and Carbon do not flash a modem or bootloader. If something goes wrong, you can boot back into recovery and re-flash or flash a different ROM.
Flashing a stock ROM desktop Odin usually includes a modem and bootloader change. I believe changing the bootloader is the most crucial part to get right.
Hi there, first time poster and I want to thank the OP for the great efforts, write up and support!
I have a rooted ATT SGH-i747 that OTA soft-bricked on the way to 4.4.3 - I was able to get the phone back up and working with the 4.3 .zip and ODIN 3.7 following your thread, and then restored most of my data - but now my phone won't connect to 4G, it's wifi only, and Baseband version is "unknown"
I am assuming I should continue to update to 4.4.2 but I don't want to do further damage...
Any advice on how I can get back on ATT 4G or what my next move should be?
FWIW, I have CWM and TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery -v5 installed on external SD

Is the baseband still unknown? If it is, you should determine the bootloader installed on your phone. Sounds like a mismatch between the bootloader and modem.
Thanks bro you just saved my life and my fone's life
thanks a lot bro i was so pissed that i installed the cm 11 and i hated it and when i tried to go back to stock i just coudn't i tried all the methods the odin version it always failed and said that nand write error so i just gave up hope and thought that i would go to the shop in the morning and get the sw changed then at the very last moment i saw your post and i said why not give it a try and i was surprised and equally shocked that it was this simple to flash this rom thanks again bro and stay blessed

Hello all,
I was wondering if I can upgrade the radio and bootloader to COF8 without running a 5.1.1 ROM. I am rooted with Ktoonz kernel with firmware AOC9 with 5.0.2 stock ROM.
TIA.
Bob
Once you upgrade bootloader , you can only run 5.1.1. Not sure about ONLY upgrading radio.
Thank You for the reply..
So once I ODIN the new firmware, I need to load a 5.1.1 rom before letting the phone boot up to the 5.0.2 rom?

You cannot boot a 5.0.2 ROM once you are on 5.1.1 firmware. That's the way it is as far as I know. There is no downgrade possible once you are on 5.1.1
Personally, I have no issues with 5.1.1. Great ROMs now. Great battery life. I personally do NOT care about Knox or the ability to run Samsung Pay. Just my 2c.
Thank You.
SO.. Once I start the firmware upgrade.. I must immediately load a 5.1.1 rom.
1. Upgrade the baseband... dont re-boot.
2. Upgrade the Bootloader... dont re-boot.

I won't tell you what ROM to choose. Yes, coincidentally I am using the Xtrestolite rom with the alliance frameworks, but I have a lot of other favorites both on TMobile as well as the International galaxy S6 or S6 Edge roms. The key is the kernel which gives you root. The International ROMs as well as the Tmobile ROMs all work with the latest Unikernel version 6. Once in a while if you run into the no call audio issues, simply flash the latest no call audio fixes. I don't have links right now but most of the OPs on these ROMs will list the no call audio patch files basically to have Tmobile as well as Canadian variants work universally. So yes, simply use Odin to install the latest OF8 bootloader and modem, which I am on. Then flash any 5.1.1 ROM of choice followed by the version 6 Unikernel and boot up. Boots can take up to 10 minutes so do't be concerned you may be bootlooping.

Odin should say pass if a successful flash. Plus use the three button method....Power, home, volume up to boot to recovery and see TWRP. Best way to do the TWRP verification is to use three button, Pwr, home, volume down and hold to get to the first bootloader screen, then when you cancel out using volume down immediately hold the powr, home, volume up to get to the twrp screen. Make sure you have a 5.1.1 ROM of choice on your Phone along with the unikernal and before you upgrade, so that you have something to flash
If you are unsure about any of this, there are a slew of FAQ's on this stuff. So make sure you fully understand what you are doing and having the files in place PRIOR to doing anything. Like all the OPs state here, I'm not responsible for anyone bricking their phone or doing anything that makes their situation a now aht do I do to fix xyz issues. As long as you have the latest Odin mentioned in various OPs here, are comfortable with the process of using ODIN, testing their setup to make sure that your phone and cable and opertaing system have proper drivers to see your phone when in download mode etc, this should not be a big deal. That said, I don't know the level of your expertise in doing this so all I can do is warn you to check and double check you have everything in place before proceeding.

Post #8 details install guide for Tmobile users. This whole thread is a great guide for installing firmware and a 5.1.1 ROM. I'm not making a ROM recommendation since that's a personal issue, but this is a good starting choice so you should look at this thread and possible use this as a good guide for how to do stuff, including having this ROM on board you phone as a starting point. Just offering you everything I can think of before you jump in.
Thank You So much. Im gunna go for it.
