4.3 downgrade - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

well. they said it could not be done. but i did it. i downgraded from 4.3 to 4.1.2. and so far everything is working. i used mobile odin pro. loaded the stock 4.1.2 rom but loaded the modem from 4.3. i have a working phone, sound and network.lets see how long it will work for.
and just let me add virgin s3 sgh-i747m

As far as I am aware it was never said this was not possible with mobile ODIN. Desktop ODIN is the issue because it attempts to downgrade the bootloader which is what bricks the phone. You can bypass the bootloader with mobile ODIN so therefore no bricking.

this is correct.

well maybe someone should post a thread about it. like i did. not something that is 377 pages long and a noob like me wont understand. keep it simple. basic directions and links to downloads. its good that you showed a link to how to use mobile oden. but some people don't understand half this stuff. i'm still learning the basics but could not take 4.3 any longer so i took a chance. bricked my phone 20 times trying different stuff and posted what i finally got to work so others can find it easier.

So i can flash 4.1.2 but without downgrading my bootloaders right? Where can i found a 4.1.2 stock rom without bootloader? Or better yet how about 4.1.1? Is it possible to flash this versions without changing my MJB bootloader?? Good thread by the way

i found some of my files here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
and the rest i downloaded from sammobile
the way i did it is i loaded the old stock file 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 in mobile odin but i loaded the modem file from the 4.3 that i got from link above. it will not change your bootloader but will give you a mix of 4.1.1 and 4.3. make sure you also select to root devise well updating. and use mobile oden pro. it's well worth the $5.00. it took me all of 2 min. fyi you have to load both roms to your sd card on the phone. and back up your phone first. it wiped mine when i did it.

just make sure your phone is rooted first. i downloaded the root66 4.3 on my phone with odin then copied it as well as the stock 4.1.2 to my sd card.

Have you tried to sim-unlock after downgrade? I also have one S3 with 4.3 and I really want to downgrade to unlock, but not sure if unlock would work without downgrading the bootloader

[Q] Upgrading from 4.2.2 to custom 4.3/4.4

Ok guys, new to this phone, just came from an xperia z. I've been doing some reading and i'm a little bit lost.
So far I have my phone on 4.2.2, never been updated, and i have it rooted and running clockworkmod as a recovery.
I have a few questions before I do anything, i've been reading about KNOX and i'm a bit confused. Does KNOX come back when you update to a different rom? When I fired up SuperSU for the first time it asked me if I wanted to disable KNOX features, and it did so successfully. My question is, is there anything to look out for before updating?
I'd have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546024

If you update via OTA, your bootloader will come with a KNOX counter, which cannot be reset at the moment. If you flash anything when you have that, it will trip the counter and your warranty is voided.
I'd suggest flashing a 4.3 or 4.4 rom if you wanna update it, then flash the MK2 modem to get normal signal.

Ok, I do not care about any warranty, I take care of my electronics. Not trying to be rude, but i wanted to clear that up. I know warranty is out the window at this point.
So I can update to just about any rom, but i would have to flash the MK2 modem right after to fix signal problems?
Sorry for so many questions, but i guess I am a bit late getting into the S4 game.
Yes, that's right. Beware of potential issues though, some people have reported the modem didn't stick when they flashed it. It went fine for me and most people, but I just wanna give you a heads up.
And somehow flashing rom with Odin always causes issues for me. TWRW is the best!

I'm not planning on flashing roms through ODIN, just the modem.
So if i flash this now, its SUPPOSED to stick onto the phone even if i fluctuate through different roms?
Also, if i install a rom that says knox-free i would be able to flash it no problem right?
Yes. You only need to flash the modem once. All the custom roms on here are KNOX free, so no worries there.

Great. Thank you for the help! I just flashed the modem and its showing mk2 in the baseband version, so i guess it went through. It had the 4.2.2 bootloader, not the 4.3.
So just to clarify, now that it has this installed I'm free to install any custom rom I want?

I take care of my S4 too, and I still avoid Knox like the plague. I'm sure the next person to own this phone will appreciate it.
Anyway, you might consider installing Mobile Odin from the Play Store. I've flashed a couple roms that caused my baseband to show as unknown and using MO to reflash the MK2 modem was insanely more convenient than using Odin on my PC.

[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.

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.

Does Odin have a option to do a full wipe/factory reset?
That may be the only option.
He must have used the wrong root script, like AT&T or Sprint root.

You need either 4.3 or 4.4.2, MDL is 4.2.2, it'll never flash, so flash 4.3 or 4.4.2, you can only flash 4.3 if you had that firmware before you attempted to root, if you had the latest update you need 4.4.2!!

I fixed my phone..I bypassed the "SEANDROID EFORCING" screen..I had 4.4.2 before I tried to root..but since I bypassed it took me back to 4.2.2..and since then I've been getting issues on the phone such as: The wifi doesn't work and my mobile hotspot doesn't either. I can't update my android version since it tells me my phone was modified. But umm yeah.

How did you manage to get it to 4.2? As far as I know downgrading from official 4.4 firmware WILL brick your phone. There's no way around it. I'm very curious to know how you did it! Thanks in advance!

When I was in 4.4.2 I wanted to root it (of course) but I used the wrong baseband version/file so it messed up. Then it gave me like some type of warning saying (SEANDROID EFORCING) Warranty Bit: Kernel
I told my bro to fox it and he did, idk how he did it but he did. I search up on youtube SEANDROID EFORCING and I guess thats how he managed to save my phone.

That's what happens when you flash a 4.2.2 ROM which you can still do.. that SEANDROID message doesn't prevent anything so there is nothing to bypass.. If you're ok with 4.2.2 then I guess you're good but personally I would prefer to be at least on 4.3.. All you have to do is follow my previous directions
Edit: you could also just flash a 4.3 or 4.4.2 ROM

I'm good on 4.2.2, just wondering if 4.3 will fix my Wifi issues. If not there is no point in going to 4.3

Just go to sammobile.com. You have to register, but it's free.
Once youve upgraded to 4.3 (by OTA or Odin or Kies) im not certain you can flash anything below that. So you'll need to find the MK7 Firmware (sammmobile) and use that.

No odin for pre-4.3 roms after the knox bootloader is installed. Odin will puke as it tries to install the older bootloader.

Does the phone boot? If it does then you can use Mobile Odin to flash a firmware.
If you have a custom recovery then you can flash a Rom.

Mobile odin will work for but won't touch your bootloader. You can use the tar files from sammobile easily.
