T999 JB 4.3 update - UVUENC2 Firmware
Samsung And T-Mobile have released the next update UVUENC2 for SGH-T999.
EDIT - @mrRobinson has a Root66 version of UVUENC2. That version is KNOX Free. So my recommendation is to visit his thread and using that firmware instead.
WARNING - The following steps are only for those who had accepted the previous 4.3 Update UVUEMJC or flashed it from Root66 thread.
Essentially with the newer updates to the Odin, version 3.09 makes the process pretty easy to those who are familiar. This does work even if you have custom Rom and Custom Recovery. Both of which will be destructively replaced by the new firmware. So take a Nandroid!!! Those with Stock firmware UVUEMJC, please take a Titanium Backup of all the essential stuff to external SD. You have been warned.
1. Obtain the Stock update UVUENC2 from SamMobile Link.
2. Download the CF-AutoRoot zip file for D2TMO by @Chainfire.
3. Obtain Odin 3.09 from here. Do not run Odin.
4. Take a backup of important stuff and put the phone in Download Mode.
5. Connect the phone to the PC and let the drivers install if not installed already.
6. Execute Odin as System Admin and then choose the Stock Firmware as AP (AKA PDA in prior versions).
7. Make sure F. Reset Time Option is Checked but Auto Reboot option is unchecked.
8. Complete the Odin flash process.
9 Once that's successful, make sure the phone is still in Download mode.
10. Again Click AP (AKA PDA) and choose the CF-AutoRoot zip previously downloaded.
11. Make sure F. Reset Time Option is Checked but Auto Reboot option is unchecked.
12. Complete the Odin Flash process.
13. When it is successful, Disconncect the phone and pull the Battery. Boot the phone to Stock Recovery and wipe Cache as well as Dalvik if there's an option for Dalvik. (My Phone does not have stock so don't remember)
14. Let the phone boot normally and enjoy Rooted Stock update. Profit !
You can use Root Checker App from Play store to confirm Root. If for some reason it failed, update the binaries of the Super user app. Upon launching that app, it may prompt for the same.

This is perfect, bro! Thanks for the guide!
Is there a flashable file for just the modem?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes There is. @Synthetic.Nightmare Posted in this post.
Any chance we can get the boot.img or a flashable UVUENC2 kernel file? Some of us are having issues with wifi and it might be bc of the conflicting MJC kernel and NC2 modem

Care to try this out for me?
It's the UVUENC2 boot.img & kernel modules: [REMOVED FOR NOW]
EDIT: This one works: modified UVUENC boot.img
Totally agree
Is very frustrating dont have ROOT on T999UVUENC2.
My T999 was updated from 4.1.2 to 4.3 T999UVUENC2 directly and was a big mistake I alredy loose my root and cant instal CM11 by any way since I cant disable KNOX.
Heeeelp
Solved

Okay so first of all the zip file gave me an assert failed (error 7, something about writing raw file to block7) but i got round that. Second of all wifi works like a charm now but, third of all, SELinux is set to enforcing instead of permissive.

I'll check it out. I basically just merged a 4.3 TW install script with what I use for harkness, didn't test since I tend to stick to aosp. I think I might know what I forgot to change though. Would you mind telling me the last thing the installer says (I.e. "installing modules..."), just to help me be sure?

It installs the modules but then gets stuck at extracting boot.img. The exact error is:
assert failed: write_raw_image("/cache/boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7")
Does that help? :good:
Yes. That's exactly what I needed.
Went ahead and decided to just go ahead and install TW for some time just to get it working right.
This one should work. Tested and tried on the latest DanDroid.
I've repacked the ramdisk so that androidboot.selinux=permissive (you can check this via terminal by entering
cat /proc/cmdline
after "su"...without quotes), though the settings still seem to show selinux as enforcing.

problem with UVUENC2 update
I am on T Mobile, and received the UVUENC2 update on my SGH-T999 Samsung Galaxy SIII. But I believe that resulted in my S3's wifi radio becoming unstable-- on multiple hotspot sites (including my very reliable SSID at home), it is regularly reporting that is disconnected due to "the internet connection on this wifi site is unstable/slow" when in fact, I know that is not the case, at all. What I have to do now to correct this temporarily, is to restart my S3. But it will eventually repeat this annoying (and erroneous) "unstable/slow" wifi error reporting & disconnection. Just thought I would pass this along, since I noticed this problem with mine, specifically and only after I got this update-- the wifi connection on my S3 was working fine historically, til then.
Would this work on the videotron gs3? the baseband is different

No it will not. Even the bootloader is different.
Damn well thank you, i'll try something else
I updated to 4.3 UVUENC2 from the OTA upgrade I got from tmobile, but I can't flash a root66 version of this because it's not released yet.
My question is, I thought you couldn't just use CF-Auto-Root with a knox-enabled firmware? I thought the root wouldn't stick? Or am I misinformed?
I'm debating whether I should wait for root66 of UVUENC2 or just do your method...
Is this good to use on the t999L also?

Hi. I have a SGH-T999 and I have tried to install the STOCKORAMA v2 rom, which uses the AROMA installer, but it keeps giving me the status 7 error. Also in the aroma installer you can check your system info and for some reason its showing my gs3 as SCH-I535, which is the verizon version. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this. By the way when I go to about phone in my regular ROM it shows it as SGH-T999

Is it a port? Why do you need a port now that we have 4.1.2? Use Wicked and be done with it.
I was reading for some fixes, it mentioned that I should update my boot loader to the newest one? Where would i get the latest version of the bootloader for my phone? Does this make any sense to anyone? Thanks for the replies.

Stay away from bootloaders unless you want to end up with a nice shiny brick..........
Even the developers do their best to stay away from bootloaders as much as possible.
The issue that you are having has nothing to do with bootloaders.
Here is a sure way to fix error 7 issues as well as other problems.
This guide will get your phone back up and running properly
Easy and sure way fix your problem - Here is s step by step guide to have a fresh start with the newest official Jellybean firmware:
This rom is the official Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 Jellybean 4.1.2 Touchwiz firmware with the benifit of being pre-rooted.
Download the newest pre-rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 Jellybean v4.1.2 rom: T999_UVDMD5
After downloading make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the
file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.
Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file
Here is the link for Odin: http://d-h.st/Q14
Download ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app)
Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin
Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted
Turn off your phone and boot into DOWNLOAD MODE (Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)
Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.
You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)
Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.
Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)
Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.
TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.
If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.
Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!
Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.
You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.
Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!
(It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)
Good Luck!

The post above has NOTHING to do with AOSP/AOKP/CM10 roms.
It has all to do with Odin flashing the Samsung Jellybean 4.1.2 pre-rooted stock rom.
Hey, don't take my word for it... Check it out, click on the link and see for yourself.
This step by step is a very good way to start all over with a clean fresh start with the newest official samsung jellybean 4.1.2 rooted rom.
It's excellent for those people who are experiencing a lot of different issues, problems and difficulties .
But as I always say, everyone is entitled to their own suggestions and opinions here in these xda forums.
P.S. Does this XDA forum have a feature where we can follow users around to different threads and keep tabs on their posts?
If so let me know how to do it, it sounds like a lot of fun. LOL
^^^ You know that if you Odin the latest pre rooted rom it will update your bootloader as well?
Ps: to op, if you don't want to odin and start from scratch again check this out. Don't flash of you don't feel comfortable. I did it and it updated my bootloader with no problems.

I actually just figured it out, I think I had the verizon version of cwm installed on my phone so when I would try to install certain roms it would give me that error. Thank you for the replies though.

You are right, if all you do is flash an official stock rooted Galaxy S3 Tmobile T999 Jellybean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 Odin flash rom
then you won't be having any problems commonly associated with flashing bootloaders at all.
But the OP of this thread was talking about and asking where he can find a "bootloader" to flash.
That's why I posted that by doing what he was asking about would be a sure way to end up with a nice shiny brick! LOL
I have a Samsung Galaxy II, SGH-T889, for T-Mobile. I installed a stock update 4.3 (T889UVUCMK7) from sammobile.com
I used Mobile ODIN. My device updated "without" problem. However, it can't turn on Wi-Fi!!!
Can some one PLEASE help me?
Reapply the update. Did you do a CRC check prior to applying?

What is a CRC?
I've applied this update over and over, many times with the same undesirable (Wi-Fi) result.
Before applying the update, Mobile Odin asks me if I want to perform a MD5 check. I always say yes, and even tried a few times by skipping it. Perhaps that's what you mean?
The MD5 checks the validity of the file. Seems like it's valid if it passes. Have you tried another source for the file?

Update the bootloader or wifi patch or devlik kernel
Search the posts, many people had this issue when flashed the 4.3 stock ROM only and stays on 4.1.2 bootloader. The ways to solve it:
-- update to 4.3 bootloader(which has Knox, not recommend) or
-- flash the Wi-Fi patch (search for it) or
-- flash devlik kernel (best solution)

The problem is, I am not an advanced user. I have no idea how to do any of those things. Also, during the last Re-applying the update, in attempt to fix ti, my Mobil ODIN and SuperSU wont open anymore!!!
The phone turns on, but I have no Wi-Fi and now I have no more SuperSU nor Mobile ODIN
Mobile Odin does not install the bootloader so if you want stock 4.3 you will need to use the pc Odin.
You really should research what you're doing as there have been three options suggested to you all of which will work. So you need to research them and decide which one works best for your needs
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Not that hard~
If you can flash ROM(as you mentioned in this post), then solution 3 is not much different than that. Just find the devlik kernel(as indicated in the post), flash it then you will have your wifi/data back as normal.

*MEXICAN USERS, PLEASE SKIP TO PART 4*
The following is for Canadian Note 3 users - model number N900W8. Please do not attempt the following on ANY other device (including the N900T). I am not responsible for your phone or any damages, so perform at your own risk.
[PART ONE - UPGRADE FROM 4.3 TO 4.4.2 STOCK]
1. Download the following Stock TelCel (Mexican) 4.4.2 files.
http://pc.cd/7kH (AP - System)
http://pc.cd/gXH (BL - Bootloader)
http://pc.cd/K7H (PIT - Repartition)
2. Download the following Canadian modem and CSC.
http://fs1.androidfilesharing.com/d0ed8bf1a29d2c01 (CP - Modem)
http://fs1.androidfilesharing.com/6cb078fbe8a64316 (CSC - Carrier Specific Code)
3. Download Odin 3.09.
http://fs1.androidfilesharing.com/7625af2fbef08abc
4. Backup important files to your computer and boot into download mode (hold HOME+VOLUME DOWN during boot).
5. Plug the phone into your computer, preferably with the cable that came with the phone.
6. Open Odin 3.09 and load the 5 files you just downloaded into their corresponding spots.
7. UNCHECK Re-Partition. Make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are CHECKED.
http://i.imgur.com/f5vVc5h.jpg
8. Click start and wait for it to finish.
*Notes*
-This will factory reset your device.
-There has been some controversy over whether to leave Re-Partition checked or unchecked. Try unchecked first, then checked if it doesn't boot up.
-If you are having problems, try booting into recovery (hold HOME+VOLUME UP during boot) and factory resetting your device and restarting.
-If you boot and find bloatware from a different carrier or something isn't working, open the dialer and type *#272*YOURIMEI# and change your CSC to the appropriate carrier. This will factory reset your phone.
-We have the ability to revert back to 4.3 (flashing stock 4.3 rom in Odin), but the method isn't concrete. You should be ready to stay on 4.4.2 if you are going to flash it.
-If you are having issues writing to the SD Card, take a look at this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617921
__________________________________________________
[PART TWO - ROOT AND CUSTOM RECOVERY]
1. Download Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root file.
http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip
2. Load into Odin 3.09's AP section and flash in download mode.
3. Download BigBiff's N900W8 TWRP recovery OR Chenglu's CWM recovery.
TWRP - http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/hltecan-recovery.img.tarCWM - http://d-h.st/users/xiaolu/?fld_id=31963
4. Load into Odin 3.09's AP section and flash in download mode.
*Notes*
-Assume this will trip Knox warranty to 0x1. Some users have reported otherwise, but just be ready for it.
__________________________________________________
[PART THREE - CUSTOM 4.4.2 ROM AND KERNEL + WIFI/NFC FIX]
1. Download your favourite custom 4.4.2 rom from the N9005 forums.
2. Download custom (N900T) 4.4.2 kernel.
Custom (CivZ) - http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=12054Custom (Wootever) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581888
3. Download the WIFI/NFC fix (NB7 Source)
fs1.androidfilesharing.com/2a941b72c218c505
4. Place files on SD card. Some roms are known to wipe your internal storage.
5. Boot into TWRP Recovery and wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache.
6. Install custom rom, kernel, and WIFI/NFC fix, then reboot.
*Notes*
-A custom rom alone will break WIFI and NFC, follow these instructions to install a custom rom and fix connectivity.
-The stock kernel caused connectivity issues on custom roms, use CivZ's custom kernel
__________________________________________________

this is probably more wishful thinking than any real hope of it having happened yet - but I have to join the hordes to ask the one question - has anyone flashed on TMOBILE Sucessfully yet? (Intellectually I am sure I know the answer - but I feel compelled to ask the question just the same)..

I'm downloading the files. I found the tmobile modem in bin format, will that suffice or will I need to find the tar?
Anyone have a link?

Apparently you can flash a modem.bin with Odin...give it a quick google.
I didn't know this and used Cygwin64 Terminal to convert it to a .tar
EDIT: Here is the T-Mobile Modem as a .tar.

I'm trying to help out a friend and update his Galaxy S3 SGH-I747. He originally had cyanogenmod installed but he restored his phone back to stock and flashed a stock recovery back to the phone. When he tries to do an OTA updated it downloads but fails to install? His current android version is 4.1.1 but his baseband is I747UCUFNE4 which if im not mistaken is for android 4.4.2 what would be the easiest way to get his phone updated to the stock 4.4.2 software?

Thanks, I had found the last link (....2789917) by doing a Google search (i.e., searching within the forum was less successful).
Hey bmoliver and BWolf56,
I am in the same boat as your friend where my baseband (bootloader) version is I747UCUFNE4 but the software version is stuck at 4.1.1. AT&T is identifying a OTA update, downloading but the update is failing.
I tried the method described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789917. But when I am trying to flash MJB bootloader, it is failing. I read elsewhere in this forum that downgrading from UCU to MJB is not really advisable.
I am stuck in 4.1.1 and my phone is half functional at the moment with the camera, nfc, bluetooth not functional :crying:.
Was your friend able to get this resolved bmoliver?
I tried searching for a I747UCUFNE4 md5 file that I can flash using odin (just a hope that it might work) but could not find.
It would be great if one of you can point me to it.
PS: I am a complete newbie to this entire thing and so far from what I read, my phone is probably soft-bricked and am hoping that someone would guide and help me get out of this.
EDIT: One more thing that I observed is when I am trying flash something in the download mode, I get the error and "sw rev check fail fused 3 binary 0" and it fails
Thanks,
CJ

You don't want to downgrade bootloaders, that will brick your phone.
You'll have to flash NE4 with Odin (or a NE4 custom ROM through custom recovery) to get your baseband and software matching.
The thread you linked should work if you follow it to a T. If something doesn't work, let us know and be specific about what happened.
Thanks for the info BWolf56,
Sorry for asking a trivial question (just getting accustomed to the lingo used here) .
When you say I should follow it to a T, are you just referring to follow all the steps.
I tried two things
1. follow each step, but failed at step 3 since I was trying to downgrade my bootloader.
2. I jumped from step 2 to step 6 and tried to flash 4.4.2OTA.zip in recovery mode but that also failed. I dont remember the exact error I got, I can try it again to give you more details if you think it is safe.
Thanks

If you jumped to #6, you didn't flash a custom recovery, which you need to flash the OTA.
I did install TWRP 2.6.3.1 which I am guessing is the custom recovery (as part of step 2) and then I tried to flash the OTA. Am I missing something here?

Sounds like you'll have to use Odin to flash Stock.
Your build.prop is most likely borked (or has been changed to something it's not). d2u is not a variant of the S3, nor does it exist.
Thanks a ton for helping me identify the problem.
I just have to look if a stock file to flash using odin is out there somewhere.
I will post in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789917 to see if enewman17 or someone from the community have a tar or md5 file that I can use.
I will try that and update on how it goes.

There isn't a NE4 stock for Odin. I just noticed the post hasn't been updated in a while.
I though I could find it on Sammobile.com but they have LK3 as their latest too.
Since you somehow have the 4.4.2 modem, you can not flash anything older than the 4.4.2 firmware. Currently there is nothing that you can flash to fix this. Normally, I would say to flash an older modem, but if Odin is seeing it as already updated to 4.4.2 (SWREV 3), and the only thing you have that is 4.4.2 is the modem, flashing anything older will likely hard brick.
You need either the full stock firmware, which there is not one, Thanks AT&T!, or a recovery flashable firmware for 4.4.2. Enewman17 has this, but it will not work for you because of how the modem is flashed. For some reason, he has it patching the 4.3 modem rather than including the full updated one like with the other partitions. If someone makes the same thing, but with the already updated modem, you could probably flash that. No guarantees though. Running 4.1.1 firmware/bootloaders with a 4.4.2 modem is a scenario which is highly unpredictable, so anything you try to flash might cause more problems, we just don't know.
I've PM'd enewman17 to ask if there was a specific reason he updated the modem the way he did. If there is not an issue doing it like i mentioned someone can try to make a new package like that for you to try.
Thanks Doc!
Hopefully enewman17 can come up with a solution for this.
Just an information which I was not able to completely comprehend but maybe pros like you or Bwolf56 will be able to.
I opened Kies and this is what it says.
Firmware information
This is the latest firmware.
Current firmware version: PDA:LK3 / PHONE:NE4 / CSC:LK3 (ATT)
Any thoughts on how do I get the PDA and CSC updated (not even sure what exactly they are)
Thanks

Ok, enewman17 just put this together if you want to try it. This includes the full NE4 stock firmware minus system, kernel, cache and recovery.
So flashing it will preserve your current Rom, kernel and recovery, but will otherwise fully update your base firmware/bootloaders to NE4.
This should be perfectly safe to use, but seeing as it is untested, I cannot make any guarantees that it won't make things worse. (I wouldn't post it if I thought it would, but there is always the possibility)
Flash from custom recovery such as TWRP.

Use the old Xposed Installer v2.6.1 with TW 4.4.4, and you can directly install the xposed framework within the app.
Just a heads-up for anyone having trouble flashing any of these. I tried several times and re-downloaded the modem and the full firmware. They failed multiple times in multiple versions of odin(for me). I gave up on the modem but kept working on the full and it finally took but I was stuck at t-mo boot screen more than once and it wouldn't fully boot. Finally I flashed the newest twrp before taking any other measures and it finally booted.

In case it gets stuck at T-Mobile boot screen after successful firmware flash, just hold the power button till your device turns off,
Then go into stock recovery by using power+home+volume up button and do a factory reset.
It should boot fine.

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to list that I did that also. For me at least this S4 was very stubborn to take on this flash. I was mostly posting so if anyone else ran into this so they wouldn't panic. All is well now though. It came around eventually.:good:
I searched this out because I'm looking for a Stagefright fix for the S4 (my wife's phone). It looks like the other ROMs were last updated prior to Stagefright, so I expect they are not fixed. However, I'm OK with stock as long as it is rooted.
Are there any issues with rooting? I read in this article that T-Mobile put a SetUID restriction on the kernel and the normal process for TWRP and SuperSU doesn't work.
The author was writing about the UVUAMDL firmware, and offers a link to download a patched MDL kernel with the restriction removed.
Since this thread is about the UVUFOK3 (a later version), it seems likely that the SetUID restriction still exists. However the article also says "MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON UVUAMDL build OTHERWISE THIS KERNEL WILL BREAK THINGS IN YOUR PHONE!" So does that mean "UVUAMDL only - nothing newer or later" or "UVUAMDL or later"? No way to know since the article has not been updated since UVUAMDL.
Has any one successfully rooted the S4 after installing this firmware? (M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_TMB)
Is the kernel provided in M919UVUFOK3_Stock_Kernel.zip already "fixed" to remove the root restriction?

Nothing is modified as it is a stock package, stock kernel is only required if you flash some custom kernel and wanted to go back to stock by just installing the kernel instead of full ODIN.
This is what I always use to root:
1) Install latest TWRP via ODIN
2) Boot into recovery
3) Flash latest SuperSU zip using TWRP.

a103, when you say "flashed a custom ROM", do you mean a different ROM than the one in the OP of this thread? (since this one isn't really custom) If a different ROM, which did you flash? I didn't find many options that contained the OK3 firmware.

The phone currently is running Wicked V8 custom ROM, so I think I need to flash everything. What are the steps for updating all three; firmware, kernel, and modem? Is there a particular order to flash them in Odin?
I read in another place that the firmware contains the Modem so I wouldn't need to flash the modem in addition to the full firmware (M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_TMB.zip). Is that true in this case? Does it include both modem and kernel?
Edit - After searching out how to open tar.md5 files I can now see that the full firmware does include the kernel and modem files. So installing that one should sufficient to update everything.

a103, did you have any of the problems reported by technut above? Was it a smooth process of flashing?
Here's what I think has been said:
0) Before starting - copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip, Titanium Backup APK, and Titanium Backup data onto ExtSD card.
1) start phone into download mode, Use ODIN to flash M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_M919UVUFOK3_HOME.tar.md5
2) restart into stock, let it stabilize.
If any problems or stuck on Tmo screen, restart into stock recovery and do factory reset
3) once booted into stock FW, power off.
4) restart into download mode, use Odin to flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-jfltetmo.tar
5) boot into TWRP
6) install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
7) reboot into Android - phone is now rooted again and ready to go.
8) restore user apps (not system apps or data) from TiBu, restore TiBu XML data for SMS and call logs, etc.
