[Q] Soft-bricked (i think) i9300 S3

Hello, I have been searching for 1 day now for a fix before I post this, Earlier I tried to get my stock ICS 4.0.4 S3 from dubai to become rooted and I managed to screw up..
I used the samsung GS3 toolkit and i straight away went and dpressed the international gsm option, which is 4.0.4 and build first 6 letters were the same but last were different (they were PING)..
I pressed option 2 (Root my phone) and then i pressed number 3 which is ALLINONE [flash insecure boot recovery etc.] I pressed clockwork mod and super user and it said it would create a tar file to flash in Odin..
It said usb debugging must be on etc and i followed all the instructions but somehow my phone got soft rooted and I can only go into download mode.
I have tried to use ODIN to flash a stock rom (823mb) but I have no luck I get the error message FAIL and on the phone on the download mode it says in red - unsupport dev_type.......... and I have tried everywhere to find a fix for this.. I am in a country with slow internet so it takes me like 3 hours to download a stock rom but i am sure i downloaded the right one for my device(XSG for united arab emirates).
I tried my best to explain and find a solution sorry if there was already a post on this but i couldnt find any after searching this whole time and thank you. I will try to give more information if necessary.

What does all the info on the screen in download mode say?
What was the file name of the rom you downloadefld?

You have AT&T (SGH -747) model, not international (I9300) and the file you downloaded is for international version.

So i found a quick solution and I am posting here in case anyone has the same problem as me in the future,
I downloaded the right files in the S3 toolkit and then pressed the root option 2, and then pressed number 3 ALLINONE.
I pressed the recommended options TWRP and SuperSU and then it created a tar file, I can't access ADB so from there i just went on Odin and used the file that was created and pushed it through.
Thanks for your help guys

(Q)help to root and install cwm recovery on note 2 running official 4.3 from india

I am unable to install cwm recovery on stock 4.3.
please guide me step by step..
or please upload a video please. ..
I tried different different methods but could not able to complete the job.
My knox warranty shows void, but phones status shows official and counter shows 10...
please help me.. devolopers..

I'm in the same boat, having unwittingly taken the OTA update to 4.3. The long and short answer is that our boot loader is locked; we can not install another recovery (CWM, TWRP, whatever) unless an exploit is found.
So far, the general consensus seems to be that that isn't possible.

can we Downgrade from 4.3 T0 4.1.2 And After that we can 9h stay prerooted 4.3 firmware?

The new bootloader does not allow one to downgrade. So, you cannot. Im from India too, and I too have the new bootloader. However, I have installed a custom recovery and im switching ROMs easily. My status says 'custom', and the custom binary download says '3 counts'. Does that mean when the counter clocks '10', its an end for flashers? Please provide a pic of your download mode screen and attach here for further reference..

What I did when I was on stock was, I flashed cf-root first. Then I flashed twrp via odin. You can also try a newer odin version. The latest is 3.09.

You can flash cf-root on 4.3 then boot and go to playstore update supersu and open. It will display a message if you want to update the binarys hit the normal way and then hit disable knox.
Then you can flash your recovery

AT&T Galaxy SIII Downgrade from CM11?

I'm trying to downgrade my i747 from CM11 back to stock AT&T firmware but I'm unable to. I've done hours of searching and reading posts, coming up with dead ends.. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I can't seem to find an official original AT&T image, I did find a "rooted leaked" image.. but when I try to flash it with Oden it fails and the phone says "SW New Check Fail: Fused 2 > binary 0"
I ran the triangle away, tried a few different roms... I can re-image CM but not anything older. Is there a thread that explains where I can find the proper AT&T stock rom and roll back from CM11?

If you have the stock 4.3 bootloader, you cannot use Odin to flash a stock AT&T 4.3 ROM because AT&T never made a flashable 4.3 ROM available. AT&T only made 4.3 available as an OTA update to an existing ROM.

Thanks, so what are my options if any? I installed the CM11 through their http://get.cm site so I'm not sure what exactly they're doing but the end result is I have CM11, ODIN for the updater, and CWM. Can I downgrade to an older version then and just perform carrier updates to 4.3? If not is it safe to flash some other third party ROM? Or am I stuck on CM11?

Boot into download mode and let us know what it says on the screen. This will help us determine if you have the 4.3 bootloader on your phone.

Download mode says:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SGH-I747

I'm thinking of trying the approach that I found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Unless any reason's why I shouldn't, it seems people have been successful with that pseudo 'stock' build.

Based on your download info screen, you have the 4.3 bootloader and the link you provided would be a good choice.
If you didn't have the 4.3 bootloader, you could have flashed a stock 4.1.1 ROM via Odin. With a 4.3 bootloader, you cannot use Odin.

I tried that link but the flash failed..
format() expects 3 args, got 5
E:Error in /external_sd/ATT_i747_UCUEMJB_StockRestore_CWM_2282014.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted.
Ugh..

Status 7 errors can be caused by using an outdated recovery.

I have 6.0.4.7 installed and downloaded the ZIP that says it's for that version but I keep getting the same error.

Maybe the ROM download is corrupt?

Did you verify the MD5 of the zip you downloaded? I haven't seen any other report of this not working as it is the definitive solution for returning to stock 4.3.It's possible your download wasn't complete or, as Audit suggested, the zip was corrupted in some way.

I downloaded a different recovery as suggested and was able to flash that way. I'm finally back on the pseudo-stock AT&T firmware and aside from one strange popup everything seems to be working great. Thanks for the help everyone,

Are you flashing via Odin or from CWM? Philz Touch can be flashed from either (i.e. the zip for flashing from an SD card and tar for Odin).

I assume you can boot into download mode so use the latest tar version of Philz to flash recovery. Philz is based off the latest CWM.
https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/
Place the file in the PDA box, don't check anything except F.reset. Flash the file, once you see reset in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, boot into recovery.

You're able to flash and you still don't have the right recovery? What do you see in the recovery screen? Is it the stock recovery?

First you'll need to know which bootloaders you're on.
Get terminal emulator and type in:
Code:
su
getprop ro.bootloader
That will tell us which version you have to flash.
Stock firmwares can be found here or on sammobile.com

hi guys,
has anyone successfully rooted 5.1.1 with this method?
I'm using e500h, followed all the steps and stucked at Samsung logo after installing supersu.zip.
what I did...
1. Upgraded to 5.1.1 via odin using India firmware.
2. Flashed twrp, no problem found.
3. Flashed the latest stable supersu, stucked at Samsung logo.
4. Flashed the lastest beta supersu, same problem.
Even if I installed supersu via Play, it said the phone must be rooted manually first.
Now I'm back to kitkat
Any idea guys?

I too had that problem. I flashed 5.x and 4.4.2 back and forth few times, wiped/formated everything and factory reset (while you have 5.x and TWRP) including hard reset. For some reason, it went ok and I'm able to use Kitkat again.
I think it may not be the proper way to do it. I just tried every possible thing that I can think of.
I also tried Kingroot, not working. Bummer!

Someone please email chainfire the boot.img or kernel.img he may listen to us and update cf-auto-root ?

Its not recovery fault its SAMSUNG. normal root flash will not work on stock anyhow and even chainfire knows it. this is the same issue were S6 Edge suffered too. its security which checks any modification in system partition on boot and if found it wont allow system to boot thus causing bootloop and at no way recovery is at fault!

New build is UP!
KINDLY DO NOT FLASH SUPERSU IT WILL BOOTLOOP DEVICE!

Hi,
I dont think so SuperSU will work on 5.1.1 but many have said that Kingroot works so you can try that but CM is pre-rooted so anyway its possible

hi guys,
has anyone successfully rooted 5.1.1 with this method?
I'm using e500h, followed all the steps and stucked at Samsung logo after installing supersu.zip.
what I did...
1. Upgraded to 5.1.1 via odin using India firmware.
2. Flashed twrp, no problem found.
3. Flashed the latest stable supersu, stucked at Samsung logo.
4. Flashed the lastest beta supersu, same problem.
Even if I installed supersu via Play, it said the phone must be rooted manually first.
Now I'm back to kitkat
Any idea guys?
