Firm-where? and debricking I747U - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

So I have a bricked I747 it had the 4.3 firmware update on it and now I am looking for the 4.3 stock update to load into odin and I cant find it.
it seems like everywhere I go I eather cant download it or is not there All I need is the 4.3 I747UCUEMJB file but it is nowhere to be found so where the heck is it?
does enyone know? if so pleas post on this thread this is the most aggravating thing ever!

This is the very reason why we rooters must be careful about having our phones with the latest firmware.
There is no 4.3 I747UCUEMJB firmware to flash through Odin. AT&T never released it. The best that you can do is flash a 4.3 custom Rom from the general or the development sections.

[Q] Upgrading a rooted M919UVUAMDB

I'm rooted with a custom recovery running M919UVUAMDB.
So if i get it right. Only way to upgrade is to
Odin to stock.
Upgrade and break root.
Root with upgrade.
Re Flash upgraded stock.
Pretty much. Or you can use Skies to do recovery to the lastest firmware, then root again.

Been searching for last hour or two and this is only thread I've found this specific topic. Just got S4 today coming from a GNex so somethings are new to me.
Is there a detailed instructions somewhere on how to do this?
I'm also rooted on M919UVUAMDB and trying to figure out the best way to upgrade to MDL so that I can re-root again.
Install Kies. Under Tools setting, select recovery and put your phone to download mode. Let Kies do the rest.

Thanks for clarifying. Just to double check, would cwm recovery affect the kies firmware recovery process?
No. Kies would wipe it off during recovery process and install the latest firmware.

lol I've searched around too, but made my own conclusions. ahha
Not attempting to promote any particular roms but Wicked v2 is running mdl update with the mdb modem and radio and smoother than silk on s4, Revolt requires manualy updating with setuidremoval but has a great writeup how to do so as does Infamous S4, I personally can confirm Revolt and Wicked are working flawless as long as the minimal theming currently in both is fine with you.

[Q] Is there a way to return to stock 4.3 OTA?

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.

Going to stock/unroot

How can I unroot my samsung galaxy s3 AT&T phone that is running 4.3 stock mod rom
Depending on what bootloader you have it might be possible through mobile Odin. I would double check before doing anything. I was able to do so recently via mobile odin. I downloaded the stock firmware which you will find on these forums and flashed.

you where on stock 4.3 if I understand correctly whit Knox and the you flashed the stock 4.3 trought odin and it work?
Of course it didn't work, because there is no stock 4.3 to flash though Odin. AT&T never released the firmware.

4.3 downgrade

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.

i don't guarantee anything. but this was the only thing that didn't brick my phone.
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

help with unlock and root...please..

hello i have a tmobile s3 shg-t99 4.1.2 baseband version t999uvdmd5 and would like to know best way to root and unlock it so i can use it with at&t..
You don't need to root it, but if you want to root it anyway I suggest flashing root66 firmware.. Unlock thread is in general, you will need to downgrade to 4.1.1 LJA firmware for it to work.. You can also just flash the LJA baseband in custom recovery and then continue with unlock procedure.. Up to you
