Would it be ok if i updated to a 4.4.2 TW rom with NB4 modem(odin) and wanted to go back to a 4.3 could I simply just restore my backup without any problems? Thanx!

If you use a custom recovery to flash the ROM and Odin for the modem only, you should be ok to just restore a backup. If you were to take the official 4.4.2 update though, then no; you'd be stuck on 4.4.2 thanks to Knox.

Help please

I flashed the new rom for galaxy s3 i747 baseband i747ucuemjb ver. 4.3 and rooted it but everytime I try to use romtoolbox or superSU I get the security notice. I did some research and I believe this is due to KNOX... how would I remove knox? i tried to use terminal to do it but terminal wont allow me to use su commands at all...
Thanks in advance
Removing Knox goes way further then just an apk file my recommendation would be to use the 4.3 Roms provided By loserskater

Yeah I agree you need to Odin back to stock 4.1.2 or you need to just do it

NO!
This is terrible advice and will brick your phone. Do not for any reason try to downgrade from MJB 4.3 to any 4.1.1 ROM.
Allrockedout, be sure to know what you are talking about before you advise others to brick their phone!

and where can i find the stock image? and kies doesnt read my phone either
I would odin flash back to 4.2 to avoid Knox if you don't have it already. Sounds like you were already flashing custom Roms.

thanks for software but where do i place it? phone, pda, or csc or all 3?
Let's start over for a minute. Give us a few more details. Are you on official 4.3 or a or a custom rom? Are you rooted? Can you get into download mode?

Wow. Samsung told you to root? To bad you don't have that in writing.

i was on stock software and that is when everything went wrong i ended up flashing google play edition 4.4 and my wifi and data started to working but this was late at night when this finally happened i went to make a call this morning and it didnt do anything. i flashed wicked v9 figuring that would fix it and i went to make a call and it did not work. so i came on here to see if i could find a solution and your have been the most help oh and i checked my pda phone and csc and they are i believe pda: me7 phone: mk2 and csc: me7 with that link you gave in odin do i have to put it in the phone the pda or the csc?

I'm on 4.2.2 can flash 4.3 roms

So I'm stock rooted if I flash 4.3 ROM well can I still go back to 4.2.2 and do I need to flash mk2 modem?

As long as you DON'T update the bootloader to 4.3 you can go back to 4.2. Just flash with recovery. You'll need to update the modem to mk2.

I actually just did mine too a few days ago.
Since you're already rooted, and you havent updated to 4.3, go to this link,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544612
Flash the modem onto your phone.
After you've installed it, you can flash any rom you want from 4.2 to 4.3 and 4.4.
Its as simple as that. I had a hard time figuring out what I had to do, but all you need to do is root, install that modem, and then you can flash all you want.
No good
