Then just put a recovery and flash ROMs, you don't need to root first

That's why I'm saying to get the stock ROM tar file and use Odin to factory restore your device. If you use Odin it overrides custom recovery

its the one for odin, has bootloader, pda, phone, csc, those staff,
The one in the post I gave you should only be placed in the PDA section of Odin and you flash it from there and we will see if that works. Make sure you right click and rename the file by removing the .md5 label leaving only the .tar making it Odin flsshable

Yeah try stock Rom from above post, most likely it should work,
if not try flashing CWM recovery through odin.

cant root after factory repair

i had my phone rooted before i had to send it into the factory for warranty work. I get it back and do a clean wipe as i did before i sent it in. I have rooted it according to odin but then it says its not rooted.
I have tried every method that has been on the sites and have spent the last 4 hours trying to get my phone to root and nothing at all.
I tried to root on different pcs with odin and still not a damn thing. I searched and use the guides on the site but the phone wont take a root for anything. sense i cant get it to root anymore should i sell it and buy a new one? IF anyone has ideas im open to it. pic is me trying to install cm.

So did you flash the rom from the link? Rom there already root injected and you can also use Odin from link provided.

Bootlooped into CWM

My phone keeps restarting into CWM no matter what I do. I already had it factory reset beforehand and now I'm wondering how to get it back to normal.
I don't have USB Debugging Enabled either (I remember turning it off for no apparent reason) so I don't know how to activate that either... when my phone only loops into CWM.
So.. what I remember doing accidentally was that I said yes to the following: "Root access possibly lost. Fix?" forgetting that I had a UN-ROOTED phone to begin with. So now that it fixed that Root access or whatever, I'm stuck into reloading this forever-loop-into-CWM.
Is there any possible solution to get me back on track..?

Great!
...now.. how do I do that exactly? (I'm still a complete newbie at this)
and I forgot to mention this but I cannot transfer any file to my phone whatsoever. My computer will not recognize my phone as an 'external storage' because it's stuck in CWM.
So in other words, ODIN will not recognize my phone ever.

Failed at Odin

Hey gang, I'm stuck. I wanted to start my phone up back from stock to sell it to my friend and he wanted it not rooted. So I went to Odin and did all the steps correctly but it keeps failing. Ok last night I was able to use it and I did all the set up and even installed the update on my phone and now its on 4.3 over the air.
I wanted to put the S3Rx rom to show my friend what you can do with the phone but I can't install it because Odin keeps failing. The only thing I've noticed different was that the phone has now this "knox" app. I don't know if samsung made it harder to root your phone or what with this 4.3 upgrade.
Can someone help me solve this? what I want to do is just root my phone again. Any clues?

I don't know what you mean about cf-auto root. I even tried the other method up the installing the twrp.tar file and using Odin trying to flash the Knox removal zip, and nothing seems to work.
I don't understand I used to do this all the time and it never gave me problems. I used to do this to clean out my phone with so much junk that it was chewing up my storage space.
If all you want to do is remove Knox then flash a recovery with Odin, and flash a stock ROM like stockmod 4.3, its also pre-roooted.. You cannot do that with Odin
Edit: also if you ever want to restore to stock or use root66 you need to flash the 4.3 tar versions, nothing below or it will fail everytime.. Things changed with the 4.3 official update

Ok, I am trying hard to get this and all I'm getting is frustrated with x amount of attempts. This is where I am: I'm on 4.3 Device status: Custom
Build: JSS15J.T999UVUEMJC
with this I can't get to flash a rom. I was trying to flash the S3Rx 3.0 aroma but whenever but it just won't and whenever I try to go to recovery through Rom Manager theres an era.
I guess I'm stuck with this so called stock 4.3 without any special features. I'm going to give it another try with another rom and see.

I've never used TWRP. I don't even know how to get it. If I do go to Rom Manager it says "you must root your phone for Rom Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su".
thats what I get when I go into Rom Manager.
when I pick ClockworkMod Recovery it asks for either 2.x or 3.x+ I pick either one and it says that it has been set up to use your existing recovery installation. then I tap OK and when I get out of app and go back into it, it says there is an update available for CWM I click at it and then it does the installation at 100% then I get "an error occurred while trying to flash your recovery"
So basically I have no recovery that can flash any roms. I really appreciate your help and patience. I'm just going insane here I honestly believe its that upgrade I got OTA to 4.3 because all along before I had 4.1.2 and gave me no problems. I think what it was is that when I used Odin to unroot my phone I did all the installation to get back to stock, then I was wondering about updates so I went to the menu and tapped on the Software upgrade and then it was upgrading (500 and something megabytes) then it reboot and it was 4.3
You need to download the recovery from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/d2tmo and flash it with Odin.. Keep in mind that this will trip the warranty counter just to let you know, and you cannot reset it.. After that you can flash the ROM

Root i747mvlufnh2

Hello,
I was wondering if there was any way to root the new i747mvlufnh2 firmware and if it would trip any counter?
Would towelroot work or cf autoroot?

Can anyone pull a flashable modem from I747MVLUFNH2 ?
I'll try to post them in my 4.4.2 modem thread sometime today. Have to download each full firmware to get them though so it may take a little time.
Unless anyone wants to extract the Non-hlos.bin from the firmware and just upload that for me!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T999 using Tapatalk
extract the who from the what and bring it where ?:banghead: lol. still such a freakin newb-head.
err on the side of kindness
Starting with the full firmware .tar.md5 file, extract with 7zip and you'll see all the different partitions that are flashed when you flash with Odin.
NON-HLOS.bin is the modem.
Tz.mbn - Trust Zone
Rpm.man - resource and power management
Sbl2&3 - secondary boot loader
Aboot.mbn - application bootloader
Boot.img - kernel
I don't need that to be done now though. I started the downloads earlier so they should be waiting for me when I get back.

You flash via custom recovery, which you'd have to flash with Odin.
A custom recovery will trip the warrant bit. There's no way to root without doing so.

Ah there used to be I think. Anyway my 1year warranty ended 2 days ago so tripping the counter should not be a problem right?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using XDA Free mobile app
Nope. If its out of warrany it doesn't matter at all. There used to be root66 firmware which didn't trip it, but the latest versions had mixed results. And the 4.4.2 builds aren't out....yet. You can wait to try that if/when they are ready, or you can root via recovery as mentioned earlier.
New root66 will be worked on, but I can't give a solid eta as I'm not the one doing the work. Not promising anything either.
