I haven't ever flashed any TW roms. I'm switching over from an AOSP rom. Do I need to flash the modem and bootloader first or can I just flash the rom?

I guess it depends on your device, the AOSP ROM you are coming from (ICS, JB, or KK), and what modem and bootloader you are currently on. For the d2att either the MJ2 or MJB bootloader and the MJB modem will work. If you have one of the Canadian devices the modem and bootloader required will be different. (MK5 ??)
You may also need to flash back to a stock rom before going to S3Rx in order to get the partitions reset. You can verify this in the ROM thread, I think I saw it there.

I'm on PA, AV 4.3.1. I'll probably reflash the stock rom and the MJ2 bootloader and modem. Then flash the new rom. I'll read through the rom thread too during lunch.
Thanks for your help.

Yes i did look. and that is only for the SGH-T989 and not the SGH-T989D and gives me no service.
To make it work with the T989D you have to flash an ICS stock ROM and then flash this radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857979

Once your device is unlocked you can use odin to flash back to the stock 4.1.2 rom and radio.
Keep in mind if you use odin to flash to stock ICS it will replace twrp/cwm with the stock recovery. It will also replace the current radio with the stock radio. You may want to consider flashing this rom from twrp/cwm instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844657

I think you can flash any ICS ROM and it should work but to be safe flash the UVLH1 ROM and radio (search of the development sub-forum will give you results)

How did you install 4.3 bootloader, did you upgrade from 4.1.2? Can you point me to the instructions for the same?

Why? Did you already flash a 4.3 rom? Just restore a nandroid.
No it is updated officially to 4.3, so has the new bootloader.
So can't reverse the bootloader, but the question is can I install 4.1.2 based rom now?
All I did. Was odin the rooted stock 4.1.2 put on cwm and flashed rom

This should do the trick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540998. I have reverted from CM11 this way. And helped a couple others. The only catch is that you may run into an issue after the flash with the Wi-Fi toggle not working. This can be fixed by flashing this kernel: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23196940996968860. There is no bootloader attached to this ROM, so fret not about the bootloader issue.
As you are already on the MJB bootloader, this should work for you as well.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47816011&postcount=18. I myself have not used this ROM but loserskater is a major figure here and his work can be trusted.

Are you currently running a 4.3 rom with a 4.3 bootloader? If you are, don't try to flash any ROM that tries to downgrade your bootloader.
You can flash a stock firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-I747M&pcode=BMC#firmware
Did you ever have your wifi working?
The development for the AT&T I747 has been discontinued by the developer. Thank you for your support.
WARNING: YOU COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE! The possibility is very real. Samsung made it difficult to update the firmware with the introduction of Knox. I have provided the files but I highly suggest you don't use them, its dangerous and seriously you can brick your device. There is always a chance things may go wrong. As always, you take responsibility for what you do with your device, you should know what your getting yourself into. If you don't, STOP! Please do not flash this!
Beware of Dragons, please exercise caution!
These are full firmware updates!
* I did try to safeguard you from bricking your phone.
* The install scripts will fail with an error 7 if your bootloader doesn't pass the assert check.
* If it does fail... you are probably on older firmware and it is not listed in the assert check.
* I suggest you double check your bootloader version and if it is older then the latest Odin update available on http://www.sammobile.com/devices/specs/SGH-I747/ Update to DLK first then just take the OTA's to get updated.
Not sure what firmware version your on? Install Phone Info *Samsung* https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo In the firmware list, all bootloader, baseband, pda, should say I747XXXXXX If they all match then its safe to flash the next firmware set. If your on mismatched firmware proceed to flash the set that matches what bootloader your on.
Directions:
*Update the firmware incrementally. NOTE: If your firmware is MJ2 or below, it is safe to flash any previous firmware without fear.
*Flash the zips in a custom recovery like TWRP, maybe even flash the zips twice.
Also when I flashed these I would have been using an older version of TWRP probably 2.7.0.0
*Do a full reboot between firmware updates. If your using Touchwiz roms don't go to far without updating the ROM or it probably won't boot, so before you reboot you should also flash the corresponding ROM. If using CM or something you shouldn't have an issue.

enewman, I had no luck flashing when I was already on I747UCUFNE4. I have a backup that will take me back to 4.1 (I think). I won't be able to use this option from that ROM, because that ROM is not "on MJB bootloaders and modem" which is a must for this solution, correct?

You can't downgrade your bootloader from ne4 or mjb... Any attempt to do so will brick your device.

If I am on 4.3 rom, with mjb modem and bootloader, can I flash this in prep to flash the stock odex/root 4.4.2? (and still have data/wifi working on 4.3)?

Yep, but you would need to use KT, Dkp or the leaked mj2 kernel to get WiFi on tw 4.3 roms. Aosp is not an issue.

Ok, so on 4.3 TW you would need a custom kernel for wifi if you are on NE4 firmware, but on 4.4 TW you would need custom kernel for wifi if on MJb firmware. Lame.
I'm cautious since my experience with the mostly stock or custom 4.4.2 has not been stellar.
---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------
I'm curious to know if anyone has seen improved performance on the new firmware with the stock odex rom enewman17 posted? As in, would the stock kernel perform smoother than kt ?
