I'm trying to downgrade my i747 from CM11 back to stock AT&T firmware but I'm unable to. I've done hours of searching and reading posts, coming up with dead ends.. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I can't seem to find an official original AT&T image, I did find a "rooted leaked" image.. but when I try to flash it with Oden it fails and the phone says "SW New Check Fail: Fused 2 > binary 0"
I ran the triangle away, tried a few different roms... I can re-image CM but not anything older. Is there a thread that explains where I can find the proper AT&T stock rom and roll back from CM11?
If you have the stock 4.3 bootloader, you cannot use Odin to flash a stock AT&T 4.3 ROM because AT&T never made a flashable 4.3 ROM available. AT&T only made 4.3 available as an OTA update to an existing ROM.
Thanks, so what are my options if any? I installed the CM11 through their http://get.cm site so I'm not sure what exactly they're doing but the end result is I have CM11, ODIN for the updater, and CWM. Can I downgrade to an older version then and just perform carrier updates to 4.3? If not is it safe to flash some other third party ROM? Or am I stuck on CM11?

Boot into download mode and let us know what it says on the screen. This will help us determine if you have the 4.3 bootloader on your phone.

I'm thinking of trying the approach that I found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Unless any reason's why I shouldn't, it seems people have been successful with that pseudo 'stock' build.
Based on your download info screen, you have the 4.3 bootloader and the link you provided would be a good choice.
If you didn't have the 4.3 bootloader, you could have flashed a stock 4.1.1 ROM via Odin. With a 4.3 bootloader, you cannot use Odin.
I tried that link but the flash failed..

E:Error in /external_sd/ATT_i747_UCUEMJB_StockRestore_CWM_2282014.zip

Ugh..
Status 7 errors can be caused by using an outdated recovery.
I have 6.0.4.7 installed and downloaded the ZIP that says it's for that version but I keep getting the same error.
Maybe the ROM download is corrupt?

Did you verify the MD5 of the zip you downloaded? I haven't seen any other report of this not working as it is the definitive solution for returning to stock 4.3.It's possible your download wasn't complete or, as Audit suggested, the zip was corrupted in some way.
I downloaded a different recovery as suggested and was able to flash that way. I'm finally back on the pseudo-stock AT&T firmware and aside from one strange popup everything seems to be working great. Thanks for the help everyone,

Are you flashing via Odin or from CWM? Philz Touch can be flashed from either (i.e. the zip for flashing from an SD card and tar for Odin).

I assume you can boot into download mode so use the latest tar version of Philz to flash recovery. Philz is based off the latest CWM.
https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/
Place the file in the PDA box, don't check anything except F.reset. Flash the file, once you see reset in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, boot into recovery.

You're able to flash and you still don't have the right recovery? What do you see in the recovery screen? Is it the stock recovery?

Update - so i was able to get the phone to boot up, installed root and TWRP, installed the note 2 modem but still baseband unknown. From i can understand so far is that its a Tmobile note2, my idiot friend tried to flash the n7100 SW on it, now its showing unknown baseband/IMEI. Is there a fix for this?

I have note 2 but how to find the pit file, mine is active note2 korean version
Hi, let me first begin if there is any problem with my threads. And I want to thank XDA for letting me ask this question, im pretty much a noob from the start..
So, I recently got a replacement S4 (surprisingly from a faulty device on swappa that had warranty) and it was already updated with 4.3 MK2, I have used chainfire's CF-Auto Root and have gotten root and also have installed a custom recovery (CWM.) My problem lies when I want to flash a Custom 4.3 Rom. I have downloaded HyperDrive RSL12 (Mostly because of the note 3 features) and the required files for it. But when I go into recovery and try to flash the rom, the recovery would take a couple of minutes to do something and then say that I can't flash this rom (I saw something under the line of "bad" but I have tried again and again to redownload the rom, so I honestly don't think thats the issue) but this happens to all of the roms I want to install, and I'm not sure if it has something with the KNOX bootloader that came with the phone, but honestly, any help I get is much appreciated! I would gladly give more info to who will help me and I would do almost everything to either install custom rom or 4.2.2 stock!

hmm.....i mean that is a possibility, i'll try rerooting again, but say if the problem doesn't lie in rooting, what other problem would be associated this?
I'd try a different ROM. That one was first for the international version I believe.
Also, you could try a different recovery. Twrp or Philz. Or just a different version of cwm. Which is what I use.

You can't install stock 4.2.2 since you've updated to the mk2 bootloader (or any room base on 4.2.2). Did you check the md5 of the download file?

I'll be honest,I have no knowledge about md5 in general, but normally would the mk2 bootloader prevent me from installing a modified stock 4.3 rom or a 4.3 custom rom in general?

What version of TWRP are you using? It may just be me, but I spent all last night trying to flash Hyperdrive, Wicked, AND WarpDrive 4.3 and kept having all sorts of problems. Baseband being reported as unknown, no service, phone app FCing, Settings->About Phone->Status would crash settings, WiFi wouldn't connect for anything in the world. I literally spent about 5 hours wiping, flashing, and wiping again. I couldn't even restore an old backup of HyperDrive I had. I started thinking, I recently updated TWRP to 2.6.3.1 and everything was working fine before. I reverted back to 2.6.3.0 and I could restore my backup; I could now flash the 4.3 TW ROMs and get the correct Baseband to report, it all worked right.
TL;DR
Try using an older version of TWRP.

You can go to http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jfltetmo and download previous versions of TWRP. The .img files are flashed by using the dd command in a terminal emulator and the .tar files are flashed in Odin.
Some people aren't as lucky with TWRP as I have been; I've never had a real problem with any of the versions I've used. Some people have only really been able to use 2.5.0.2, so I would say to give that version a shot.

Are you able to browse through the zip file on either your computer or a file browser on your phone? If you can't look through the directories within the zip, you have a bad download and will need to re-download it.

As long as the file you download does not downgrade the boot loader. ROM zips will not do this unless otherwise noted. Flashing tar files through ODIN can brick your phone if you downgrade Android version number because tar files reflash every part of the phone, including bootloader.

You're correct about the downgrading the bootloader part since i have learned my lesson the first time, but as far as flashing the rom is concerned my recovery will not flash it and i get the broken android as the background and my recovery says the installation was aborted. I am using philz touch recovery 6 btw.

You should be also getting a status 7 error, because the bootloader you currently have (MK3) is not listed as one of the "approved" bootloaders in the updater-script for any 4.3.x ROM based on AOSP. You will need to go into the updater-script and modify one of the lines to match your bootloader, or get rid of the assert lines altogether. Any KitKat 4.4.x ROM's will have your bootloader listed, so this is not necessary for the newest ROM's.
How would I do that? Is there a tutorial I can follow

Can you please post the link of the stock ROM and give a detailed guide on how to do flash it because I have the same problem?
Edit: Also please specify the Odin I need to use to flash.

The latest T-Mobile firmware can be downloaded from here: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s4/firmware/#SGH-M919
After downloading, unzip the file once using a unzip program such as 7zip.
You will need a Windows PC and Odin: https://odindownloader.com/download/odin3-v3-07

It's been a very long time since I have flashed a Samsung s4. There's always a risk that something goes wrong. Best advice: be prepared to try again with different methods if the instructions don't work for your phone.
