hello, I bought this i747 in its current condition. I know nothing about its history.
when I power it on it goes to the phone, !, comp screen saying firmware upgrade encounter an issue, select recovery mode in kies.
in the top corner it says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
WARRANTY BITS: 0
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
Now when I connect to kies and run emergency firmware everything loads on kies, then gives an error, and
underneath BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2 it says: SW REV CHECK FAIL: Fused 2 > Binary 0 in red.
If this phone fixable? Any help would be appreciated.

Did you say it was recognized in Kies but firmware recovery failed? If so, and you were using Kies (not Kies 3), we may assume the last system update was not older than Android 4.1.1. I'll suggest you try these steps (in that order),i.e. if one doesn't work, try the next step ..
1. Try booting into recovery mode and doing a hard wipe/reset
2. Download the correct stock image from the thread below and flash via Odin. If you need help with flashing via Odin, please let me know
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 or visit Sammobile.com to download the correct stock image.
3. Open Kies. Do not connect the phone yet. Go to Tools => Firmware Upgrade and Initialization. Enter your phone model name (SGH-I747)=>OK and serial number. Check device information inside the battery compartment. Wait for firmware download to complete and you are prompted to connect the phone and follow the rest of the on-screen instructions.
4. Contact the vendor to find out what they did wrong and see what refund options you have
Ok, so I also wasn't able to get into recovery.
I decided to flash cwm via odin. After it flashed the phone rebooted and turned on normally. I have turned it on and off like 5 times and everytime it boots normal.....But, there is still a problem... baseband version is Unknown and there is no IMEI Number.

Oh, it's 4.3. Perhaps even better because you may be able to flash the 4.3 restore image. Your baseband/modem is corrupt or missing which is why it's showing the no baseband message.
Please see the thread below for the complete 4.3 stock restore image. Download the stock restore image and flash via custom recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Or you may just flash the 4.3 JB modem via custom recovery since you have custom recovery working. The modem zip can be found here ...

I suggested custom recovery and not custom ROM. The idea is to get your phone back in working order first. Flashing a complete stock restore image should do it. Please refer to the thread I forwarded earlier. You should be able to flash custom recovery (like CWM or TWRP) to your phone via Odin and then use the custom recovery to flash the stock restore image.

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
warranty bit: 0
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
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!
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

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.
Could someone please direct me to the latest AT&T stock image with root access? I flashed another one last night, and I'm not happy with the results. I can't flash CWM and SuperUser doesn't work, I will flash the latest AT&T stock with Odin. Thanks.

If you have the 4.3 bootloader on your phone, you cannot use Odin to flash a stock AT&T phone as it may brick it.
What bootloader is on your phone? How did you try to flash CWM?

I'm not sure. When I'm in Download Mode, this is what I have:
ODIN MODE

QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

When I plug my phone to my PC, it doesn't recognize it. I can get into recovery (CWM) though. I flashed CWM with Odin.
You have the 4.3 bootloader; therefore, you cannot use Odin to flash a stock image because AT&T did not release a full 4.3 stock ROM. The 4.3 ROM was made available as an OTA update.

I tried that but the installation aborted in CWM. When I plug my phone in to my PC it doesn't recognize it. I have to take out my SD card to load files into the phone, which obviously isn't working. In CWM, when I "choose zip from internal SD card" I see this:
- 0/
- legacy/
- obb/
When I select '0', I see all the menu choices. Did I eff up or lose my internal storage? I can't load files onto it. Can flash files to my internal via command prompt window?
Can you get into download mode? If you can, use Odin load the latest tar version of Philz Touch from here: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2att
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

Yes, sometimes stock images won't flash because the bootloader version is lower than the one you have.
