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.

Hello experts ! i the unlocked version of the note 2 n7100 and running android 4.1.2 stock rooted with CWM recovery i downloaded pheonix 15 custom rom did a full wipe and flashed the rom but the phone gets stuck on samsung galaxy note 2 screen then reboots directy into recovery! what am i doing wrong ? should i flash MJ5 bootloader in odin before ?? and when i restored my nandroid backup the cellular didnt work until i flash ariza patch to get my imei back ! plz help and thx in advance
Yes, flash the MJ5 bootloader to avoid any problems. And make sure that you have the latest CWM version. I personally recommend TWRP, latest version also. You should be set with that.

hey just repaired my note 2's bootloader it took me forever and lots of work so im afraid to brick it again is there a safe official way to update to android 4.3 im currently running a rooted 4.1.2 stock N7100XXDMB5
Hey gang, I'm stuck. I wanted to start my phone up back from stock to sell it to my friend and he wanted it not rooted. So I went to Odin and did all the steps correctly but it keeps failing. Ok last night I was able to use it and I did all the set up and even installed the update on my phone and now its on 4.3 over the air.
I wanted to put the S3Rx rom to show my friend what you can do with the phone but I can't install it because Odin keeps failing. The only thing I've noticed different was that the phone has now this "knox" app. I don't know if samsung made it harder to root your phone or what with this 4.3 upgrade.
Can someone help me solve this? what I want to do is just root my phone again. Any clues?

I don't know what you mean about cf-auto root. I even tried the other method up the installing the twrp.tar file and using Odin trying to flash the Knox removal zip, and nothing seems to work.
I don't understand I used to do this all the time and it never gave me problems. I used to do this to clean out my phone with so much junk that it was chewing up my storage space.
If all you want to do is remove Knox then flash a recovery with Odin, and flash a stock ROM like stockmod 4.3, its also pre-roooted.. You cannot do that with Odin
Edit: also if you ever want to restore to stock or use root66 you need to flash the 4.3 tar versions, nothing below or it will fail everytime.. Things changed with the 4.3 official update

You can't flash ROMs in Odin, only firmware.. If you want to flash a ROM you need to flash it with a custom recovery

oh ok, so do I get the stock firmware and then put that through odin? then after reboot run a recovery to flash a rom. The hard part is trying to find a up to date firmware. I don't know where
The firmware is already installed on your phone, you don't need to flash it again.. now just flash a recovery with Odin and then flash your rom

I'm using rom manager and I keep getting "an error occurred while flashing your recovery" but then I was looking into TWRP and it says that I must root my phone. I thought I was rooted after using a recovery in Odin
If you already flashed a recovery in Odin then just flash your ROM in recovery.. If you haven't flashed a custom recovery, flash it in Odin, then reboot to recovery and flash your rom

Because you need root to flash a recovery with those apps

Ok, I am trying hard to get this and all I'm getting is frustrated with x amount of attempts. This is where I am: I'm on 4.3 Device status: Custom
Build: JSS15J.T999UVUEMJC
with this I can't get to flash a rom. I was trying to flash the S3Rx 3.0 aroma but whenever but it just won't and whenever I try to go to recovery through Rom Manager theres an era.
I guess I'm stuck with this so called stock 4.3 without any special features. I'm going to give it another try with another rom and see.

I've never used TWRP. I don't even know how to get it. If I do go to Rom Manager it says "you must root your phone for Rom Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su".
thats what I get when I go into Rom Manager.
when I pick ClockworkMod Recovery it asks for either 2.x or 3.x+ I pick either one and it says that it has been set up to use your existing recovery installation. then I tap OK and when I get out of app and go back into it, it says there is an update available for CWM I click at it and then it does the installation at 100% then I get "an error occurred while trying to flash your recovery"
So basically I have no recovery that can flash any roms. I really appreciate your help and patience. I'm just going insane here I honestly believe its that upgrade I got OTA to 4.3 because all along before I had 4.1.2 and gave me no problems. I think what it was is that when I used Odin to unroot my phone I did all the installation to get back to stock, then I was wondering about updates so I went to the menu and tapped on the Software upgrade and then it was upgrading (500 and something megabytes) then it reboot and it was 4.3
You need to download the recovery from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/d2tmo and flash it with Odin.. Keep in mind that this will trip the warranty counter just to let you know, and you cannot reset it.. After that you can flash the ROM

My s3 i747 come with 4.1.2 and the bootloader is locked, how unlock the bootloader?
i want downgrade to 4.1.1 but i can't, any idea how to make the downgrade?
Which phone? Carrier? You may be able to use Odin and firmware from samfirmware.com.

S3 I747 at&t, i can flash the firmware 4.1.1 although this blocked the bootloader?
From what I have done with my Canadian s3, which is an i747m, I can downgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1 with no problem via Odin. The bootloader is not locked. As far as I know, the only bootloader the could be considered "locked" would be in the stock 4.3 ROM. Once your phone is on 4.3, you cannot downgrade the bootloader.

You won't brick. I've downgraded several times. You're most likely to brick with 4.3, and not 4.1.2, 4.1.1, or 4.0.4.

Since you're on 4.1.1, you should unlock your phone using the free method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529200
Then use Odin to go back to 4.1.2, install Philz, wipe, and then flash your ROM. You can only use the free method when you are running stock 4.1.1.
It will always say enabled on stock.
You cannot Odin back to 4.1.2, and probably not OTA either. You can only sideload an update.zip through adb or flash a 4.1.2 Rom.

Because everytime I flash a rom, everytime I'm doing a call the screen goes black and can't do anything, I flashed 3 roms (AOSP, MIUI and AOSB) y the three of them gave me the same problems. I heard that I needed to update the Bootloader but I want to be 100% sure before doing it

Did you edit the updater script in the custom ROMs to get them to install? If you didn't have to edit the scripts and the ROM installed, your bootloader supports the ROM.
Did this happen when you were on stock a ROM? I have tried Validus and Cyanfox and never has this issue. I was using the 4.1.2 bootloader with each ROM.
Hello all...

Are you saying the MrRobinson's ROM isn't rooted ? Did you try the version 2 he posted ? I know that the first one had some issues.
If you are on 4.1.2 and only use PC odin for flashing then you can flash this stock rooted, knox-free ROM I uploaded here.

This ROM will not update your bootloader and you can switch back to 4.1.2 using PC odin.

Because I would like to flash some cm Rom.
Your phone is already on 4.3 bootloader and there is no way to downgrade that.
But you can still flash any 4.1.2 ROM'S as long as you do not flash the bootloader. Almost all custom ROM's come without bootloader so you should be able to flash them via CWM,TWRP or mobile din.
