I have an SGH-1747 on AT&T. I already had the OTA 4.3 update on my phone and I wanted to simply wipe all of the apps off so it was a fresh 4.3 install as it was running slow. I went into the settings and did a factory wipe thinking that would wipe it back to original 4.3 but when it rebooted it hung on the AT&T screen.
I went into Recovery mode and wiped everything to factory refresh from there hoping that would fix it and it made it worse. Now when I reboot i simply get the Firmware upgrade encountered an issue and it asks me to use Kies to go into recovery mode. I did that multiple times and it never worked. Simply kept failing.
I am able to get into Download Mode but I can't seem to find a ODIN version of the 4.3 that I can try to flash it back to. I would love to go back to a 4.2 version if that would work but I stopped before I made it worse. In download mode it says
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (2 COUNTS) - Early on with 4.1 i had flash up to 4.2 using ODIN but i have on official AT&T release since
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
WARRANTY BIT = 1
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
Any advice out there? I am thinking I soft bricked my phone but I am not sure?
PLEASE HELP!
There is no stock 4.3 AT&T ROM that can be flashed via Odin. You cannot downgrade the bootloader to an older version.

Thanks for the info. I actually got it fixed by giving in and going to best buy and the Samsung guys actually were able to flash it to a fresh 4.3 image. They knew it had a non factory image on it in the past based on the counter but they still did it. I'm all fixed now which was awesome.

Today I tried to root my AT&T (d2att) (SGH-i747) just upgraded to 4.3 yesterday. I am completley stock no root no custom recovery. I don't know what happened but it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again." I can't go into recovery,it won't let me. I ordered a jig (don't have it yet). It says this-
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: yes (5 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

So can somebody please help? I have download mode but recovery is a no go
bump please help phones been bricked for more than a day now
There is no Odin package for 4.3 OTA so you will have to install an Odin packaged custom recovery such as twrp then install a 4.3 ROM or higher via recovery. 4.4 KiKKat will work too.

Hey guys I had a similar problem when I flashed a cf auto root file to the new ota. (sorry if that's a little noobish ) the way I fixed it was in kies being that stated above it's hard to get a Odin flash able 4.3 firmware. So I went into kies>tools>firmware upgrade/installation, (or something along those lines) a heads up you'll need your serial number and model number. Put all that in and it will tell you to put it into recovery mode (they really mean download mode not sure why they call it recovery) then plug it in and it'll download 4.3 and flash it to your device and voila! Not sure if it applies to you but it put my phone into safe mode. A reboot fixed that! I hope I helped you guys! Also another warning you will loose all your data.
Cheers!
So, I'm not a complete noob to flashing roms/rooting devices. I flashed cm 11 to my s3, and decided I wanted to go back to stock via Odin. For some reason when I tried to turn on my device it was still showing the cm 11 splash screen and wouldn't proceed any further. It isn't technically bricked. I guess this would be classified as a boot loop to the nth degree. I tired to boot in recovery mode and wipe the cache partition and all user data to the same cm 11 robot taunting me. When I tried the process (flashing stock vi Odin) again to possibly fix whatever might have been a miss, I got the error message on the download screen "secure check fail: sb12." On the download mode screen it also says I am running the official system rom. I don't know what steps I need to take from here to get my phone to actually boot via the stock rom. Has anybody else had this issue or similar? Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
Is your phone a i747? If you are you running a stock 4.3 bootloader on your i747, you can't use Odin to flash back to stock unless the ROM was specifically designed to be flashed in Odin.
What is shown on the screen in download mode?

I was under the impression the rom I was attempting to flash was indeed intended for Odin. It is the SGH-I747.
The download screen states,
Product Name: SGH-I747
Custom Binary: Custom
System Status: Official
Qualcom Secure Boot: Enable
Warranty Bit: 1
Bootloader AP SWERV: 2
Here is an added bit of fun, in the midst of the process I accidentally checked "Nand erase all," in Odin at one point.
Based on the information provided, your phone is running a stock ATT 4.3 bootloader. The CM11 splash screen is still showing up because the flash did not actually happen. You're lucky your phone was not bricked in the process of using Odin. I recommend not using Odin to flash a ROM that tries to alter the bootloader.
I recommend flashing a custom recovery such as Philz Touch in Odin and flashing a different KK ROM such as Valudis.

My next question would be how can I move the zip files I download to the internal storage of my phone to flash them through Philz Touch?
Have you tried using kies?

I did. It said the the device couldn't be updated, or something to that effect.
Kies will not work without a stock recovery or a rooted phone from my experience.
I would be surprised if kies can restore your phone as ATT never released a full 4.3 stock ROM. ATT only made 4.3 available via an OTA update.

I don't know about AT&T, but I'm on Telus in Canada and I used kies to revert back to stock 4.3 with CWM recovery and phone rooted, and it worked no problem.

So, I know there is a "thanks," button but I feel like that would be a little too informal for how much I appreciate your help! I downloaded ADB to move the rom (I went with AOKP because it was the first one that worked) to my phone, flashed it using TWRP and...BAM! We are back in business. Thanks for the direction, I thought I had a nice, new, shiny brick on my hands for about two days.

Canadian carriers use the i747m while att users get the i747.
The Canadian carriers did release a full 4.3 ROM unlike att who did not.
I've been trying to unroot and go back to stock for a couple of days now with no luck. I was running latest Omni and TWRP. When I try to flash via Odin it says FAILED then reboot hangs on Samsung GN2 screen. When I go to "Downloading..." screen it shows:
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1
AP SWREV: A3
SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 1
I wish I could help but I am having a similar issue. If you have had any success with this please let me know what you have found. Good luck!
Y`all need to ODIN flash a firmware version that does not have the boot.IMG. You most likely have a firmware version that has a locked boot loader.
MK6 or the latest NE5 are such animals.
You also need to add more info for people to help. Like where Odin failed, why you are flashing back, what version of Odin, etc.
Makes it easier to tell you a possible solution.
I had no issues coming back to stock after running pretty much all the 4.4 AOSP roms, going to sell the device so I wanted to sell it stock.
I was on the MC3 or LJ2 bootloader, not sure which one but I rarely, if ever, change radios. I first went back to TW 4.1 using Odin and following the steps on this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275844
Guys,
I have not kept up with Samsung phones and am totally lost. A friend brought me an ATT Note ii that to their knowledge had been rooted. When they tried to do an OTA update, it screwed up and now when i go to download mode, here is what is says:
ODIN MODE
Product name: SGH-I317
Custom Binary Download: YES (10 Counts)
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1
RP SWREV: A2
When I try to load a stock rom via Odin, it will go all the way to the end before it errors and show in Red "unsupported"
I would appreciate any help you have on this. I am totally lost but if anyone can fix it, you guys can, Thanks in advance
after doing a little research, i was able to load TWRP recovery, a pre-rooted stock rom of 4.3 and the 4.3 bootloader all though ODIN and got the phone back up and running. My next question is, with my knox warranty showing 1, what are my options as far as roms go? Am i stuck with the stock 4.3 ?

There are 4.4.2 ROMS in the Android Development threads. Remember to do backups before flashing

I'm in the same boat here...would you mind telling me how you were able to do this, and specifically, where did you find the rom and bootloader downloads?

If you can get into download mode, can flash 2.8.1.3 twrp via Odin.
Download the latest TWRP from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/t0lte
Copy a custom ROM to your external SD card.
Flash TWRP via Odin. Boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, flash ROM from external SD card, reboot.
I was trying to change the firmware of my S3 but in the middle of the process the computer went off. Now is bricked showing the KIES message, when a try to go back to stock using the only official firmware that is in Sammobile it says AUTH error.
The screen of the S3 in download mode says:

It was running the 4.2.2 that I got via OTA but I can not use the same because I do not have access to the recovery mode. I think that if I could find a .tar 4.2.2 I could solve the problem. Please guys I need your help on this. Any suggestion o way to solve?

Were you running 4.2.2 or 4.4.2? I thought the AT&T SGS3 (i747) went from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 to 4.3 to 4.4.2 for official ROMs. The 4.1.1 stock ROM on sammobile was the last full release, all since have been updates. The WARRANTY BIT: 1 output would indicate it was on at least the 4.3 release if not one of the 4.4.2 releases; NE4, NJ1, or NJ2.
While I am waiting for a reply I will search to see if any of the devs created a 4.4.2 stock tar, I have seen in done with an older version, but it is a rare occurrence.
Simplest way to get the phone up and running would be to flash TWRP and then cm11. By booting CM11, you could determine the bootloader and modem. Once these two things are know, you may be able to flash an updated bootloader, modem, and ROM from TWRP.

To be sincere I am not pretty sure, I think it was 4.4.2. I can not enter to recovery so installing the last one through it is not an option.

If you can get to download mode you could do as audit13 suggested and flash the TWRP.tar.md5 (custom recovery) with Odin or Heimdall and then flash either CM11 as he suggested, or one if enewman17's stock 4.4.2 roms.
thank you all guys. I installed TWRP then CM11 and now is back! I appreciate your help. Have the best wishes and Merry Christmas! Greetings

Yeah, I was about to suggest flashing twrp but glad to find that you have fixed it. I used this same method to recover a galaxy tab GT-P6210 a while ago
