if update to stock 4.3 rom it will put Knox on your phone. if you aren"t sure what that is, seach in the q&a thread and read up. but if you dont care about it, you can always just flash the rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099 and let your phone update itself to latest rom. or this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541900 has stock 4.3 rooted and unrooted.
^^^^ that... Read about knox first before anything, trust me if you have no idea what it is please read up on it first, dont need you bricking your phone and crying on here lol

Hello,
I am currently rooted through odin I guess. I got rooted through the computer. A program rooted my phone I think it was odin. Anyways I have flashed jedi 12 and new modem before. I did not like it. I went back to my stock rom with root. but the modem stayed the same.
I am currently in 4.1.1 with baseband T889UVBMB4 which was the updated modem. what I want to do is keep root but update to 4.1.2. I want to keep stock rom if possible with new themes flashed (if possible)
Please help

There is already a stock 4.1.2 rooted update.zip file available to update with.
i have same issue,however kies indicates 4.1.1 is up-to-date.
any suggestions for kies issue?
Right now 4.1.1 is up to date I called att they said they found a bug in the internal software so they stopped pushing the update out but it'll be back soon.

Of course. And after promising the update after advertising it they halt it. And they put out no official posting of this that I could find. Or the person you talked to is full of it because they don't know why you have not got it and don't want to bother or don't know how to figure it out. The last is the most likely.
Now of it is true about the bug I wonder if they will push the bug free version out to everyone again.

when i connected my s3 to kies it says my 4.1.1 is the latest firmware
so did att stop rolling out the update?
You updated via Kies? I believe AT&T is only updating OTA, not through Kies.
Also, I was pure stock, but rooted. The update failed. It left my phone half updated and I couldn't get it to update, even after unrooting. This appears to be what happened to most rooted 4.1.1 phones on AT&T.
I had to flash back to stock via Kies in order for the update to work.

I was on 4.1.1 rooted and updated to 4.1.2 via OTA. What method did you use to re-root your phone?
Oh I'm sorry. Since this is an AT&T forum I just assumed.
I'm sure in a worse case scenario you can just flash it back to stock. I choose to use Kies because then I didn't have to download the correct firmware like you do with Odin.
The flash counter still says 1, but the Device Status did reset to Normal. Of course I lost root.

Rooting for 4.1.2
I'd love to know a proper way to root without tripping the counter on 4.1.2. I rooted the other day and now it wont let me turn on my wifi. Good thing the phone was only a month old lol, new phone is already on the way from AT&T. Any help is greatly appreciated as I have searched and googled already.

I don't think rooting enables tripping the counter. From what I understand, Tripping flash counter occurs when you flash a custom recovery on jellybean. Best method is to just reset the flash counter when you are going to unroot your phone by using the TriangleAway app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114

If you are returning, you must use Odin to flash the stock rom. No worry we are all noobs, some just know more than others.

So by flashing a custom 4.3 knox free....I can still odin back to stock 4.2, triangle away, unroot and be good for warranty issues?
In other words theres nothing to worry about with flashing a 4.3 rom so long as I just go back to 4.2 and use the correct procedures to do so......with all the scattered info I was kinda concerned about trying 4.3
If you are planning to return it, why not flash the OTA version of 4.3 via Kies just before you do and be done with it?

Im not sure im ready too...
The more I read here about the ota the more confusion I see...
I am confused about warranty, knox and all that...I have been around a long time and have owned all the gallaxy s phones and flashed em all but this new ota has me concerned....atleast with 4.2 I "know" ill not have any issues with warranty returns.
I dont have plans to return it....im thinking into the future a bit....
....I guess what im asking is....if I go to 4.3 can I easily odin back to stock 4.2

Yes. Flashing a custom 4.3 rom through recovery (not odin) without the knox bootloader is like flashing any other rom. You can go back to 4.2 for warranty purposes just like any other time.

Ah. OK. I must have misunderstood the meaning of the thread's title. I thought it meant you wanted to return to MDL before returning the phone.
Sent telepathically
I'm planning on upgrading to another phone so I'm trying to get this counter on my phone reset to 0, then unrooting.
Right now I am on the latest version of Insanity ROM Android 4.3 MK2 Baseband .
I tried resetting the counter using TriangleAway earlier, but I noticed I needed to be on a stock Samsung kernel.
So I found one (and this same thing happened when I tried to flash a stock rooted ROM with MDL) on XDA directly for the T-Mobile S4, only to find out that after flashing, it wouldn't get past the black screen after the SGS4 logo comes on.
Luckily, I restored back
I know how to unroot and everything I just want to ask before I do this,. Can I go ahead on using Triangle Away on my current rom? And then do the unrooting process?
If you took the OTA 4.3 you are Sol. If you still have the MDL bootloader you can Odin the MDL stock image then root and triangle away and then unroot. You will be good to go then.

No, I never had it updated when I bought it from Tmo as Android 4.2.2 . So you're saying with even with the current custom 4.3 Android & custom kernel that I have right now I can Odin the MDL? (Unroot, Root, TriangleAway, unroot?)

Yes. If you never took the OTA and only flashed the mk2 modem you can absolutely Odin the stock MDL ROM and root, triangle away then unroot (in that order) You'll be good to go then. Just make sure you're binary found is at 0 by booting into download mode when you're done.

I'm having the same problem when I got my s4 I didn't know anything about Knox or all the other headaches that come with rooting this phone!! But me being me as soon as I opened the phone I updated it to 4.3 then rooted it not knowing I wouldnt be able to return to stock! Even tho I did backup my stock rooted phone my phone will not let me restore to it so I've been stuck on beanstalk 4.4 but really want to go back to stock rooted cause of the camera!! Haha.... I'm new to the s4 so I'm still learning more about it I had an s2 before this and that was all cake walk flashing and what not. I just want to know if Odin is an option for me to return to stock or not?? I think I backed it up through lies before ota 4.3

From what I've read in other threads you cannot downgrade bootloaders so if you took th OTA you can't go back to 4.2. From what I understand it will brick your phone. If you are already 4.3 and rooted you have already voided your warranty. You may as well Odin the stock 4.3 and root again so you can flash other Roms since you are stuck on 4.4.

I rooted my friends Tmobile GS3 a few months ago and I need to unroot it. I have looked and searched everywhere for the unroot to 4.3 and i cant find it. I dont understand why it is so hard to find, im not a noob and i had the same problem with my sprint GS3 till someone posted the file for me. I would grately appreciate it if someone could post me a link to the file and a step by step, from the things I have been reading it seems like there is more to do than just flash the tar in Odin . So just to be safe if someone can add a step by step for me that would be great. And if necessary stock recover? Thanks guys Hope someone can help.
Just flash the stock tar in odin, or in your superuser app there should be an option to unroot.. But I would go the Odin way and just start fresh

If rooted and on 4.3, knox is likely removed, so if you want to be 100% stock official, just Odin flash the 4.3 firmware and thats it. Factory reset if you have any other issues beyond.

I cant seem to find the tar anywhere, could you possibly post a link for me?? And you said if i flash the 4.3 stock unrooted tar it resets knox automatically??
Sticky thread in development.
Knox isnt reset, as you calked it. Its just included in the firmware so you will be fully stock.
