Im trying this now.. I managed to get twrp back so I at least have some recovery. How do I flash this mdf file do I just use oden and clikc the pda button? Also twrp sais no os installed does that mean there is no os and I can go back to 4.1.1 and upgrade to 4.3?

First you can't go back to 4.1.1 if you were on official 4.3 you will hard brick the stock mjb is located here, http://www.samsung-file.com/index.php?dir=/Model_I/I747_(SGH-I747)/I747_Firmware/I747_Android_4.3 after d/l you should be able to flash it with Odin, I use 3.07, only because I am more familiar with that version, but should restore you back to stock, when I have had to recover in the past I usually have Odin reformat during flash, then it boatloads and I go into recovery and reset, then it boots fine

OK, I downloaded the 1.36 GB one is that the correct one?

I just looked band you need to DL them all and use Odin 3.09 and place each file in it's respective location I did not realize they were there as separate downloads

I tried downloading those files but its telling me to register and pay

Like I just said just flashing the one file will not work, the files at the location I gave you are separated so you need to download each of them and put them in their respective place Odin 3.09, I wasn't aware that this site set the downloads up for use with 3.0.9, so follow the link download the other 4 files and put them into their respective place in 3.0.9 and reflashing, then if you get bootloops turn off phone restart (volume up, home and power) gets you to recovery wipe data and cache and then restart and u should be fine

I'm not sure exactly how to do this. all the files say the same thing but the end of the file has 001-010 and the file type is 001-010. Do I flash 001 with bl then 002 with ap then 003 with cp and just keep going down the list?

Look at the first 2 letters of the file on the download site it tells you where to put them, AP goes under ap in 3.0.9, CSC goes in CSC slot, BL goes in BL slot, CP goes in cup slot and the last file is the pit file and goes in the pit section, then flash the file and it should reboot when finished, if it boot loops then disconnect, hold Power button till it shuts down remove battery reinstall battery hold volume up and home press power button boots to recovery, in recovery wipe data and cache then reboot

It doesn't happen quickly. If I recall correctly, it took 12 minutes once for me to flash back to stock with just the PDA file.

Phone Bricked! Help

I was using root unistaller to unistall a regular unistaller app from the play store, and this somehow bricked the phone. Now the phone only boots to the "Samsung" text and just hangs there. I have looked for hours on the forum and found a thread that said this is no big deal, just flashing to stock rom should fix the problem. But I could not find how to flash to stock rom, or exactly which ROM i should use. Could someone please show me a step by step guide to how to flash back to stock rom? At this point I don't care if I lose any data, I just want the phone to boot. I am coming here as a long term iPhone user, is there anyway to just "restore" this phone?
Google download mode. Then connect usb to phone. Then install rom vía Odin.

I know how to get to download mode, but doesn't odin require .tar roms. The only stock rom i could find was in zip format. If you post a link to an Odinable rom, that would be greatly appreciated!

What carrier do you have service through? Make sure whatever you flash is for that carrier. Using Odin will flash radios, boot loader and all. Boot into your boot loader screen and fast boot the img file from there.

I am on AT&T, i managed to post in the right section . Which image file do u speak off? Any kind of ROM i find is a zip file that extracts to a bunch of files. I put one these zips on my sd and launched phone into stock recovery, then went to update from external storage and navigated to the zip file of the stock rom. The phone thought for a while then spit out this error message: "E:signature verification failed". Could you please link me the image file you speak of?
Used the link in this thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34101245#post34101245) to download the tar files and odin to flash. Seamed to have worked, I wonder if this was the right stock rom for my phone...

Please help no operation system

I Trwp wasn't working for me everything I did it would say something simulating something then wouldn't work....so I went to Rom toolbox and flashed touch can...and factory reset it...andvcwm won't let me look at my ad card and even if I use my wife's phone and put a Rom on it it will still say no files found...so do I have to use Odin and what file do I need to have...Please.... Please...please...help...thanks in advance...
P.s...can I just flash a stock Rom tar file or what do I do...I'm bugging out I need.to have my phone in working order...

yes it needs to be in download mode and you need a tar file. It sounds like a bad SD card. Keep the file on your pc. Plenty of rooted and stock tar files around...

[Q] Please help with flashing

Hey sorry if this is the wrong thread im new to this forum :laugh:
So today i decided i wanted to root my phone and overclock my s3
im currently using t999v i believe and thought that maybe i could overclock using Siyah Kernel ( so stupid of me )
i found out the hard way that it doesnt work and now my phone loads up the samsung logo and then the samsung galaxy s3 and than a black screen with a blue led.
i can get in to cwm based recovery but when i try to wipe everything and factory reset it just goes back to black screen after the samsung logos.
please dont bash on me as i know this is enough punishment for not reading enough but any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you

If you're flashing in Odin and it's not working, you need JTAG to unbrick your phone.

Open Odin and connect your device

2. Load the PIT file in the PIT section
3. Tick Auto-Reboot, Re-Partition and F. Reset Time.

This is where I posted, you can find some information there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260948
Like "freakboy13" said, "If you can get into DL mode, you're golden." Don't worry it just takes patience and you have to keep trying.
1. First, you want to find a stock ROM only (normally 836MB zipped and around 1.42 unzipped)
2. Make sure you're using a domestic ROM, not International and make sure you're using your model number. Do you have AT&T? if so search for - SAMSUNG SGH-I317. If not search for the one you need.
3.Flash it using Odin. I used Odin 1.87 I believe, I didn't have to use 3.07.
4. Let us know how it goes. I had to do it twice and it worked so be patient.

This is accessed via kies.
You should do a bit more reading before attempting to use odin. Using odin is not for newbs. Dont just dl apps snd flash stuff with out understanding whats going on. Mobile odin goomanager is great, just know whats actaully going on.
What you a should do is go back to stock via efr. Heres my guide with pics.

I found that if I tried to odin a recovery (I was using team win) it will work again. First you need to pull the battery and get it back into download mode. Then try to install recovery via odin. It didnt give me root nor a custom recovery but it brought me back to a non brick phone.
Download stock firmware, put your phone in Odin mode and flash that. Then you will need to flash the cf file again for root

You wont have a restock for a warranty swap. But it really isnt warranth when you caused it.

What version of odin are you using? and what do you have checked? Auto-reboot should be the only one checked and you should be using odin 3.9

Yea I actually tried Odin 3.7/3.8/3.9 I also tried unzipping .tar directly to the C:/ drive instead of desktop. In case of any administration issues.
But in the end I was able to put in the model and serial number into Kies, put phone in download mode to get firmware from Kies.
The funny thing is, just by me trying and unsuccessfully rooting the phone. I tripped the Knox warranty 0x1. Odin only 25% uploaded Cf-root before failing. Lol

Odin the stock 4.4.2 file to the phone. Then root it after since Knox is already voided.

You shouldn't have to use Kies. just follow these steps. 1- put your phone in download (odin) mode. 2- connect it to your computer and run odin 3..09. 3- The only thing that should be checked is 'Auto Reboot' and as far as files it should say 'TMB-N900TUVUCNB4-20140305155920. Once you extract the file (I just put it on my desktop so it was easy to find) Then it should be about 2,178,541 KB in size....so like 2.1 GB. Choose that file after extracted and click the option of AP. His start and you should be back to factory settings, then worry about re rooting your phone. . Does that make more sense?

I should of read your title more carefully, is your phone still bricked? Or are you just trying to root it now?
