Is it possible, or will this just brick the phone?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
If you took the OTA to 4.3 you cannot use Odin to go back to previous versions. You can root and flash any version you want, as long as you aren't trying to go backwards with the bootloader, aka mk3 bootloader > md4, etc.
As metalfN78 said, yes it will brick your phone If you use Odin. You can flash ANY version through recovery though.

Damn, I didn't accept the ota on my s3, but my wife did

You can still flash previous versions of Android on hers, just not with Odin. As long as you are using a custom recovery and flash roms then it is alright.
But won't custom recovery/rooting trip the Knox warranty bit?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
Yea
Oh well, that'll teach her to not accept ota updates unless she checks with me first

Did you make a backup of your stock rom? If so.. Restore it. If not, either Odin back to stock with one of the Odin packages in the development section, or find a tw rom you like and flash it.

No, those are otas which patch existing builds. If it says UVALH2-UVALJ4 then you have to be fully stock H2 to use it. If youre sendiing the phone back you want to Odin flash one of the official builds, not the root66 ones. Also triangle away first in case your counters been tripped.

Well for starters there is no update.

once you use triangle away you have to factory reset it to return to stock

And no worries man, usually when there is a firmware update we will get our hands on it and have a ROM set and ready to rock before the download from kies would even finish

LMAO!!!! so so so true...
Ive never ran across this problem before with the s2 or 3. Im on the stock injected firmware and want to be able to get updates without having to odin back to stock or flashing a different recovery. How would one go about this? Sorry for thread jacking but figured others will have this question. Thanks.

The previous answers cover it. I went back to stock on my S 3 for the last official ICS update, but was really a WOT. Don't have to ODIN back to stock unless you want to run on stock.
You would probably see an Odin update (which will install the firmware and and Modem when a simple ROM flash would not) pretty soon after it is OTA'd, and you could use this and not have to have the hassle of going back to stock to get it. If it is not a complete ROM, you will have to be sure you are already updated to the firmware that the OTA would be updating.

I am looking for a guide to see if its possible to Unroot and go back to Stock 4.3 (M919 Model)
I am not 100% sure if downloading the Original M919UVUEMK2 and running through ODIN will do it. So I am kind of Paranoid on taking further action towards going back to Stock Firmware via ODIN seeing how I have not spotted anything. I've only seen Guides that show how to do it with 4.2, which doesn't the bootloader or something Block Downgrades?
I don't really care about the KNOX Flag, I just wanna go back to stock.
Please and Thankyou!
Odin will work as long as you never updated to the official 4.4.2 firmware
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
Sweet, so it doesn't matter at all if I'm on a custom 4.4.2 ROM correct?
Otherwise thanks for the tip man!
Nope! Just remember to factory reset after you flash it and back up your files

I don't care about warranty anyhow but my phone has the knox tripped. My question is how to get past the boot sequence when it complains about the kernel.

It shouldn't get stuck there, can you explain what you did?

Right now I have stock rooted nb4. If I put non stock rom on it stops and wont boot past Samsung screen. So I went back to stock and rooted. This knox bootloader crap has me considering selling and getting a HTC.

That has nothing to do with Knox bootloader.. what ROM were you trying to flash, and did you factory reset?

He's right about not having to do with knox. You either are forgetting to factory reset, not flashing a kernel(or the right one) or flashing the wrong ROM for our device.

Hello,
I was wondering if there was any way to root the new i747mvlufnh2 firmware and if it would trip any counter?
Would towelroot work or cf autoroot?

I just tried Towel root and get a "Phone not supported .. ?
Towel root won't work. Just flash the SuperSU package in recovery. Use the ones from my signature. The latest 2.02 is having problems.

I should just install the Superuser_2.00.apk ?
If you used towelroot to root, yes just install the app. Otherwise you will need to flash one of the zip files.

Can anyone pull a flashable modem from I747MVLUFNH2 ?
I'll try to post them in my 4.4.2 modem thread sometime today. Have to download each full firmware to get them though so it may take a little time.
Unless anyone wants to extract the Non-hlos.bin from the firmware and just upload that for me!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T999 using Tapatalk
extract the who from the what and bring it where ?:banghead: lol. still such a freakin newb-head.
err on the side of kindness
Starting with the full firmware .tar.md5 file, extract with 7zip and you'll see all the different partitions that are flashed when you flash with Odin.
NON-HLOS.bin is the modem.
Tz.mbn - Trust Zone
Rpm.man - resource and power management
Sbl2&3 - secondary boot loader
Aboot.mbn - application bootloader
Boot.img - kernel
I don't need that to be done now though. I started the downloads earlier so they should be waiting for me when I get back.

I was answering a request for the modem. Is that what you're asking about or are you still asking about root like in your op? Did you try my earlier suggestion? Flash the SuperSU update pkg in recovery.

Yeah still about root, how do I flash the file? Odin? Will it trigger the flash counter?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using XDA Free mobile app
You flash via custom recovery, which you'd have to flash with Odin.
A custom recovery will trip the warrant bit. There's no way to root without doing so.

Ah there used to be I think. Anyway my 1year warranty ended 2 days ago so tripping the counter should not be a problem right?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using XDA Free mobile app
Nope. If its out of warrany it doesn't matter at all. There used to be root66 firmware which didn't trip it, but the latest versions had mixed results. And the 4.4.2 builds aren't out....yet. You can wait to try that if/when they are ready, or you can root via recovery as mentioned earlier.
New root66 will be worked on, but I can't give a solid eta as I'm not the one doing the work. Not promising anything either.
