I have a wind t889v, I am stuck on stock after taking a 4.3 OTA update, i rooted and flashed the 4.1.1 modem from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061031 so that i could unlock my phone, but now I am stuck with this old modem since there is no link there for the 4.3 version. Does anyone have a link to the wind t889v 4.3 modem?
EDIT: I am going to try flashing a stock 4.3 wind rom for now, but how can i upload files to my phone? I have installed kies and kies3 but neither seem to detect it, and windows explorer does not show my phones storage. I have had to transfer files through my mega cloud folder in order to get them on my phone, but that is going to be a pain in the ass for a 907mb rom...
And my next question: How do I know what roms are flashable for the t889v after taking that stupid 4.3 update? I found this guide but its for a verizon note 2. I am rooted and I am hoping there is some customized odin flashable firmware for me

all roms are flashable while on the 4.3 bootloader. you will need to install a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP, etc). here is a link to the modem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554226 you can flash this in said recovery

Oh alright, I suppose I can give it a shot. But I have been told its not possible to flash anything other than stock factory 4.3, for example here:
Baenwort said:
If your phone has factory 4.3 you can not downgrade to a lower version as the KNOX functionality that is built into the 4.3 bootloader will prevent the flashing of a prior version.
You can still root with stock factory 4.3 but you'll need to either trip the KNOX counter or use one of the more involved methods. Is there a reason you are trying to flash such an early version?

what that is referring to is the bootloader. which currently can not be downgraded. install a custom recovery and you can flash rom zips not images. most roms do not have a bootloader in the zip so there will be no conflict

thanks you were right, i used the unified android toolkit to install twrp and it worked. so can i just flash any rom for the t889? because i believe i read that only touchwiz roms work. if thats true i havent seen many roms that i can use.

N7105, i317, and SGH-T889 ROMs are usually OK. Don't flash another device's modem. There is a whole mess of ROM options out there.
Make certain your APN is correct in other carrier designated ROMs. Don't flash recovery from automated recovery installers as they will not put the correct version in unless you are on a ROM with the correct build prop settings for the SGH-T889 (if your using a Tmo US device).

So I flashed DN3, it was for n7105, its an AROMA installer. I jsut realized that thats what you meant when you said dont flash automated installers. It required that i flash an n7105 modem to complete the installation. Can i fix my build.prop after? How do i flash this rom without using AROMA? aaah

I was more referring to ROM Manager and Goo Manager. ROMs that flash modems are atypical. Usually they leave you with a choice to install one of a couple choices or leave it as is. Sometimes they don't.
You may be able to find the 4.3 modem appropriate to your device around here somewhere. That will work much better than the 4.1.1 if you can get it to stick.

You could mobile Odin the stock image from sammobile or the root66 to flash everything but the bootloader. Kies recovery could maybe work. T889V is stubborn with modems IIRC. Teshx had problems with this very problem quite sometime ago IIRC.
This fits in my "this is a problem" category, backup and save your data.

yeah i did some wiping in recovery and managed to soft brick my phone, then using pc odin to flahs a stock image got my phone back to life and showed signal bars again, then i flashed the custom recovery back on. so at least i know i can save my modem when i do this again. i then tried replacing the modem.bin files in the dn3 istall zip with t889v modem.bin files, tried reflashing it with the new modem.bins but it still gives me the no network symbol instead of signal bars.

I want to flash back to stock rom 4.1(cant recall if 4.1.1 is the newest one or not) in a similar manner to how I flash to custom roms such as:
MAKE A NANDROID
Boot into recovery
Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache
Flash ROM
Reboot
I'm currently on PA ROM stable. So here are my questions
1) Can I flash like this instead of going through ODIN and losing root etc
2) Can I keep my root and flashing this like a custom rom, but in actuality a stock rom
3) If this is possible can ATT stock rom work on Roger's i747m, i suspect it would as long as i dont touch the modem. Not sure if there will be LTE issues.
I couldnt find anything on XDA or google, it seems that all stock revert it to original setting and no root.

It's just that I noticed this part of the forum referred to AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus, I wondered if they would be interchangeable.
A lot of the ROMs out there like CM10 and AOKP support ATT but can be ran on canadian i747m's, so thats why I was wondering if ATT stock can run ok on i747ms

I think it would be for the most part, would just have to change the modem (I think?).
Either way, always safer to go with your carrier's.

Typically, if you flash an att modem on a Canadian phone it will destroy the imei. I would think that the same would be true for Canadian modems on Att s3's.

Based on the OP, the phone is currently running Verizon's 4.1 which leads me to believe the bootloader has not been updated beyond 4.1.2 since recovery mode is accessible; therefore, I think flashing 4.11 or 4.1.2 stock roms would be fine.
As always, it's best to check the installed bootloader before proceeding with any more flashes.
I used the stock firmware from here to downgrade my Bell s3 from stock 4.1.2 to stock 4.1.1.

i wouldnt flash the bootloader just to to be safe though. id flash the recovery from the root forum and then install a cm or aosp ROM.
or open the tar and make sure there are not bootloader related files i forgot all of them but one is mbl. something and 1,2,3 theres a post on here how to check i just dont know where
SpellingHello,
I rooted my 4.1.2 SGH-T999 by CWM , then unlocked it by downgrading the modem , unlocking and then upgrading to 4.1.2 .
When I checked for OTA updates the phone says" my device has been modified. software updates are not available. "
How can I get back the option of getting the OTA updates? If so, will I lose root? And also while I am on 4.1.2 is there any things else I can do that are simpler to do than when on 4.3?
Thank you.
May I suggest first reading up on the serious issues caused by accepting OTA updates. If you still really wish to go down that path, then use Odin to go back to stock before accepting OTA.

I guess since the phone is out of warranty and kind of old, it probably won't get that many updates in the future. In that case, I can leave everything as is.
With the configuration I have now: Unlocked at 4.1.2 , CWM 5.5.0.4, how do I update the phone to the latest one available on this site? Do I use odin ( PDA and which flags ) , or load it in SD card and run it from recovery? Doing either one, do I lose root or not, and how to get it rooted again, same way I did it the first time.?
Thank you guys for your assistance , this is the first time ever I am making changes to a phone.
StockMod Rom comes as a Zip. Put it on SD card and Flash via CWM. That's not CWM's latest version.
So if you keep getting errors (Status 7) while trying to flash, then you will need to update CWM.
Latest is 6.0.4.5 over here. Alternately, get Rom Manager to update as well.

Would I lose unlocked if I flash the modem and use Stockmod or Stockmod Custom ROMs?
Do these ROMs come with WiFi tethering?
I am slowly learning, Installed ROM manager from AP store, and updated the CWM to the latest..
I have to flash the modem first, should I reboot then Flash Stockmod or do both one after the other?
Thanks.
I believe StockMod will support WiFi Calling. You will have to try and find out. As to the Modem, you can flash both one after the other and that's fine. When it comes to modems, I personally reboot after a modem flash to see how the signal is like.
Sometimes, some of the modem don't work well in my geographical area. If the modem is a precursor to the Rom, then I'd flash the modem, then check and then flash the rom. After Rom is up and running, I may go back to original modem.

The reason I asked is because on the development page where the Stockmod is , it says to " Flash T999UVUEMJC Modem
Flash ROM , Reboot and Enjoy "
My other question was about sim unlocked. I downgraded modem, did the unlocked routine, upgraded back to 4.1.2 modem. Now if I flash modem and ROM, would the SIM Unlocked status stay or I have to unlock all over. The whole reason I got here was to unlock and root for WiFi hotspot.
Thank you again for walking me through this.
The phone will stay unlocked despite change of modem or Rom. You can try flashing the rom directly without the modem. I don't think there may be issues. Of course you can flash modem if it didn't work. Put the modem on your external sd when you download Rom.

Your modem is probably lost or corrupt. You may try downloading the modem from the link below and flashing via (custom) recovery.

Your modem is probably lost or corrupt. You may try downloading the modem from the link below and flashing via (custom) recovery.

Why don't you try a full (stock) firmware restore then? If you have MJ2 , you can upgrade to full stock 4.3JB. I also learnt from a very reliable source that you can Odin safely to 4.1.1 from the (modified) MJ2 as long as you don't have the MJB bootloader.

That's a bit of my question, I'm, not sure what firmware I'm on currently, how can I check?
OR which one is the newest, I can flash from anything to the newest one correct?
I'm ready to do that, but worried on what bootloader I have, and which to flash to safely.
I've seen a lot of old guides, dead guides, 404 DL links, etc :/.
I just don't want to flash anything incorrect in my attempts to repair it, and brick it. :silly:
Boot into download mode and tell us what it says on the screen. This information will determine whether you have a stock 4.3 bootloader on your phone.

No bootloader info on there?
That's all it says on download mode.
It looks like you are running the stock 4.3 AT&T bootloader. I based this conclusion of the fact that your warranty counter has been changed to 1 from 0.
I suggest installing the latest version of Philz TOuch via Odin and flash a custom Kit Kat ROM. Try that and see if the modem works.
BTW, you should use the mjb modem as other modems probably won't work.

I've tried flashing a few different ROMs and Modems w/o any luck, I'll try specifically an MJB modem and see what's up.
Mind linking to a thread w/ more info about Philz Touch for att i747? What exatly is this?
Edit:
Seems like Philz Touch is a custom recovery? Why install this when I have latest TWP already?
Edit:
Flashing MJ2 bootloader via TWRP right now, seeing how that goes.

I recommend Philz Touch because it is easy to flash it using Odin. I used to have TWRP and had problems flashing ROMs. Once I switched to Philz, I didn't have anymore problems.
The best modem in your case would be the mjb version. Even though the Canadian and US versions of the s3 are identical hardware wise, the bootloaders and modems are not interchangeable.

I've used TWRP for a long time/flashed many files without issue, thanks for the suggestion.
So what exactly would you like me to flash though (links would be nice if you could)?
As I've said, I've already tried various ROMs/Modems etc, the problem is deeper than that.
Edit: Flashed MB2
All of the same issues still occur. :'(
SOLVED:
Flashed Firmware:
I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5.zip (I guess this is what you were telling me to do all along huh?)
All good.
Thanks everyone!

Maybe I had issues with TWRP because mine was outdated or perhaps it's just my phone, I'm not sure. I use TWRP on my Nexus 4 and it's perfect.
Glad you got things working:good:

I flashed the same firmware with Odin and was then able to successfully root and flash my s3 with 4.4.2 PACman. Was having the same issue before this where I had no service, no sound, and YouTube, etc.. wouldn't play.
I have an s3, it's broken from what i can tell, it sometimes rings someties outs out calls but it's not fuctioing correcyl. It was completely stock.
Its a rogers i7147m on 4.42 I factory rest it, still not working properly so I tried to use old FW only to realize after i soft bricked it the knox must have locked the bootloader.
I install a Verizon rom (the only one that seemed to work in Odin) and it booted without wifi, I then reinstalled an AT&T FW for specifically for teh i747m and it booted no WIFI I then installed a rooted Rogers i747m via CWR and it wouldn't boot I then tried the rooted FW with Knox and it worked BUT no WIFI, I would at least liek to get wifi on this and use it as a mini tablet,
now I want to try to revert it to a non rooted Rogers to get it all back to normal, the only way i can get a rom into this is via CWM odim fails on boot and all the roms I download are in zip and within them an MD5 which CWM doesn't let me install.
Anytips? I have the stock rom ready to go but it's in odin format
What can i do? And is the wifi issue a kernal issue? how can i at least resolve the wifi problem.
Thanks

Although this area is for the i9300 s3 I would think installing a Verizon rom on a at&t phone is the cause of all your issues I would think.
Sounds like the efs may be corrupt. Either was this is the wrong section for you. Flashing anything here will brick it.
I will ask a mod to move it.
Also you need a rom zip to flash through CWM

Rogers SGH-i747 is nearly identical to AT&T's SGH-i747 - as a matter of fact, I believe they can still use each others' ROMs.
So this is the right spot for it to be.
Look for a d2lte common CWM or a d2att version and you should be okay.
