Stock Samsung recovery for AT&T galaxy s3 i747

Stock Samsung recovery pulled straight from stock firmware and packaged as a Odin flashable tar file. I decided to do this for those who may want or need to flash the stock recovery. I have tested this and worked fine on my phone. I am not sure if it will work with any other carrier besides AT&T so if you try it do so at your own risk and if it works report it and I will add any other confirmed carriers that it works for. I am not responsible if you brick, melt or blow up your phone so don't cry to me lol...
Below is the link to download the tar file. If anyone wants to make a cwm flashable zip feel free to and post a link to where it can be downloaded....
Edit....
It has been confirmed that this will work on Bell devices also...

Odin mode or download mode is for flashing a new firmware. I mainly posted this stock recovery for the ones using a custom recovery like cwm or twrp and just wanted to flash the stock recovery back so they could update their phones via a OTA update. If you are running a recovery like cwm or twrp and your phone tells you that you have a ota firmware update available it will not let you install it with a custom recovery. To update via a OTA update you must have the stock Samsung recovery. So now anyone using cwm or twrp can just flash this stock recovery download everoot from the play store for free then run ever root update their phone run ever root again and never even lose root privaledge on their phone....

Has anyone tried it on a canadian i747m yet ?
I'm not willing to be the first one to try it out as I can't afford to brick it due to software incompatibility. :/

Thanks for posting this Gary! And good to see ya here, we gotta get the remaining skyrocket crew to join the dark side lol
Does anyone know if stock recovery is required to perform official OTA updates with the S3 on AT&T? I remember needing stock recovery for updates to the S2 Skyrocket, but I'm not sure if anything's changed with the S3 (and I did see a Rogers user say he was able to get the jb OTA while using TWRP for recovery, so maybe it isn't necessary?).
EDIT: Also wanted to mention, in case anyone is wondering, this .tar does work with Mobile Odin Pro. Just used it successfully.

From what I've heard yes you do need the stock recovery to ota update on the s3. Again I hadn't tried it but that's what I hear anyway.
Oh and its good to be here. I still have my rocket. Its used for highly experimental testing and flashing lol.. I've soft bricked it three times since I've had my s3 in less than a month lol. I just hope my next experiment whatever that may be isn't my last lol...

As far as I know the stock 3e recovery has not changed, it's the same for any build number for the S3. The stock recovery is on a partition separate from the rom so it shouldn't matter which build you're on.
(99% sure on this but someone please correct me if I'm wrong)

Stock 3e recovery? Not familiar with this, so research seems in order. Thanks.

Stock 3e recovery == Stock Samsung recovery
However, I'm still curious to know if the stock recovery is indeed the same for any build number / variant of the North American GS3...

Anyone know if this triggers the counter?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747M

It did not trigger my flash counter....
And I also agree with skrambled I think the stock recovery is for all builds of the S3

No tripping of the flash counter either.

this stock recovery, will it "upgrade" my phone to 4.3? as in make all the adjustments already made go back to new? asking because i accidentally upgraded what i think was a Knox security thing that crashed my SuperSU and now i cant even start it.

4.3 clean root on SGH-I317M on Build JSS15J.I317MVLUCMK5

Ok so this is what i did to root my Telus Device SGH-I317M on Build JSS15J.I317MVLUCMK5
I started with a factory reset from backup and reset dont think this is necessary but nice to do with a clean isntall
once that was done i turned off the device and booted into download mode volume down + home + power
opened ODIN 3.09 and added the CF-Auto-Root-t0ltecan-t0ltevl-sghi317m.tar.md5 to the AP section. then clicked start. once done the device restarts back to normal and the root is applied, but during that KNOX detects it and disables it from working.
plug device into computer and ran Kies 3 and ran a firmware upgrade and initialization. took about 20 minutes.
once phone started you will notice superSU is no longer on your system.
TEST FOR THIS PART... PROBABLY not necessary but i did this and this is what happened.
run KNOX and allow it to Install. once done it will ask you to add passwords and at the end it will say it is not compatible with this device or whatever. KNOX has now terminated its warrenty or what not and will not install.
i did not have an update for superSU on Google Play but i DID have the update on Aptoide. so i updated it and ran the program.
program told me it was no longer on the device saying the libraries or whatever were not there.
so i ran Odin and ran AP again and ran it once it was done phone started and no messages and superSU worked.
because now that you factory loaded from kies for some reason it knows you attempted it the first time that now knox will not work
not quite sure how that works or if its even relevant. but when you see in the download mode it says warrenty void 1 or whatever and the knox crap its all disabled now i am guessing because i got no problems or messages once i finished it all
so step by step.
STEP 1. put in download mode and run odin 3.09 load AP and make sure Auto reboot and F. reset time are the only ones with check marks and then click START.
STEP 2 Once device reboots you will get errors and knox blocking it. this is normal. (for me it was anyway) open Kies 3 and do firmware upgrade and initialization. depending on internet connection this could take some time. you may be able to Odin the firmware but i chose kies 3
STEP 3 Once system restore from Kies is done open KNOX and install it. should fail and say not available for this device. (happened on my device)
STEP 4 either run aptoide and download the update for superSU tho you dont see it, its still there. open that will tell you to re do the root process again.
STEP 5 run odin 3.09 load AP and make sure Auto reboot and F. Reset Time are the only ones with check marks and then click start.
STEP 6 once device has started download root checker from the google play store and test. should say success.
i did at first after i root checked it with success i rebooted the device and started it up then opened superSU asked me to download binaries i pressed back by accident and then it said knox detected would you like to try and disable knox. select yes. and then success
you are rooted and no more notifications.
THESE ARE THE STEPS THAT I DID TO ROOT MY DEVICE FOR THE SPECIFIC MODEL AND BUILD so results may differ from others. so far its worked on my SGH-I317M TELUS phone running virgin mobile sim
Hope everyone else has as much success as i did.

If you just want a custom rom all you really need to do is update the bootloader or already be on 4.3 official then just boot into download mode use Odin 1.85 to flash twrp recovery wipe your data and flash the rom you want. Or just update to official use chain fire auto root and just update supersu it will disable Knox.

If you can't find a Odin modem I would update to official then re root and flash away.

Thanks but I am not that keen on getting the official rom. For one I hate using kies, it was a mess when i tried to update with my old s3, so I have not used it at all. Plus I have tons of stuff on my current phone that i would need to restore after things are done.
Also, i'd rather not having to deal with knox if i can, even though the phone is out of first yr warranty period. I have always used custom roms on my note 2 and s3 so i will leave at that for now.

The main reason to use a custom rom is to remove all carrier related stuff on your phone. It also let's you add different mods and features you want. For example you can use the note 3 roms. Pretty much turn your phone into a note 3.

alright ill wait till tomorrow. and hopefully i find a detailed description on how to do all this. ive only ever ran the s1 because it was bricked had to run all the modem the pda and pit or whatever a long time ago so my minds gone all fresh on the rooting and flashing roms. ive only ever run stock roms. but for 4.4 i want to get it on my device because i love the group play video and the screen recording and the other few things that are awesome on the note 3
unless there is a way to get all that on the 4.3 note 2 firmware that would be awesome as well

i317m - no mobile data with CF-auto root zip file in odin
I guess I have done enough reading to be dangerous. I wish there was a comprehensive glossary for this stuff.
Anyhow - through ODIN I have flashed CF-Auto-Root-t0ltecan-t0ltevl-sghi317m - and today I have no mobile data.
Where could I find an image to go back to the original phone and start again? It is an i317m Note2 from Bell

You can load a custom recovery in Odin and flash a custom ROM.

Annoying, but not that hard to fix. You have two or three choices. If you made a backup, you can restore that from recovery mode.
You could go to download mode and flash a stock ROM onto the phone, then root it again.
Or you can go with a custom ROM as the poster above suggested. You generally need a custom recovery for that, so you'd go to download mode and install a custom recovery first. Followed by the custom ROM. If the custom ROM is a tar file, you'd also flash that with Odin in download mode. If it is a flashable zip file then the custom ROM would be flashed after you boot to the custom recovery mode first.
If flashing a stock image, ensure that it is a version 4.3 AT&T image. Trying to flash an earlier version will do bad things to your phone.

As far as I know, there is no stock 4.3 AT&T image available because one was never released by AT&T. However, I think there may be some 4.3 based ROMs that can be flashed.
Mobile Odin can also be used to flash an image since mobile Odin does not flash a bootloader or modem.

It can be painful to be an AT&T customer at times. If a full factory 4.3 ROM wasn't released, the OP could still flash a properly formatted backup of someone's stock AT&T 4.3. But it would of course be easier to adopt a custom ROM as you suggested. One choice would be S3Rx 3.0.

Thanks for the help. However I tried to flash several 4.3 stock based roms and got nothing. I had an older s3 with a busted screen so I took the mother board out and put in this. I then flashed twrp and rooted. Im on the ota 4.3 and would really like a custom rom. Im currently on the hunt.

You didn't give us nearly enough details to really know what you tried, let alone why it might have failed. AT&T is much more restrictive than most carriers and is locking their bootloader, so you have to be careful not to flash someone else's bootloader or a pre 4.3 version.
But since you have a rooted phone again.. installing a custom ROM wouldn't be hard to do.. I gave you a link to decent custom ROM that would work for you. Or you can browse other custom ROMs if you prefer. There are detailed instructions in the thread to guide you. Basically confirm that you have one of the listed AT&T bootloaders and modems, download the custom ROM to your phone, boot to twrp, do a "factory wipe", then install the custom ROM (flashable zip file) from the twrp install menu.
.

Try Philz Touch recovery instead of TWRP. If it doesn't work with Philz, let us know the error messages you're getting.

Can you post a link where I can find custom roms for att i747. Sorry for the noob question I have looked and cannot find one. Thank you. Im on rooted ota 4.3 with twrp currently.

Any luck?

Yes I have cwm and titanium back pro, busy box pro, and a few other goodies. So I made me a backup and flashed 4.4.2. I'm playing with it now. It seems really solid and way better customizations. I'm about to head over and give the developers thanks. Thank you as well for your advice.

Nah, just open up Odin, connect your phone to your computer, download CWM, PHILZ or TWRP tar file, click on PDA, choose the tar recovery file you just downloaded, and flash it. That's all. Very simple. Then you can go into recovery and flash custom roms.

First, calm down, I can read. Second, you are solely responsible for your own device. Third, Saferoot is only for root, it has absolutely nothing to do with recovery. Flashing a recovery through Odin will allow you to flash custom roms, which is what you asked how to do. No need for Safestrap.

Help Updating (Sorry for noob question)

hey guys have been out of the modding life for a long time now since HTC Amaze came out on market and ive had nexus' (galaxy nexus) since then. i had a quick question. my sister passed down to me a S3 T-Mobile one. its on 4.1.1 and i had at the time put in CWM long time ago as i was gonna flash custom roms but never got around to it (i did this with the help of a youtube video.) now i have this device the Volume UP button doesnt work which is essential to go into download mode... how would i go about updating this to the latest 4.3 Firmware? if there are any detailed steps id really appreciate them. Sorry i know it sucks to get noob posts like these but i have done a bit of research and i cant seem to ask the right questions on google! thanks
btw just for though im switching from nexus 4 to s3 just cause i dont need the power from the n4 and i just want the s3 screen

so i think i found the piece i think its here: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/T-Mobile-Gal...cement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4d14d4fdbd&_uhb=1
is there a demo on how to do it or should i take it to Pacific Mall and get someone to do it? how much would it cost anyways?

You only need volume up to enter recovery.. volume down is for download mode.. anyway there are apps that can get you to download or recovery mode as long as you are rooted.. you could do that meanwhile or just wait till you fix the button.. really all you have to do is flash a 4.3 rom and modem in recovery, no need to update the whole firmware

Being on 4.1.1, itd probably be a good idea to update the firmware. Thats just my opinion though.
You can root without volume up working, and or flash roms like serio said.
As for fixing it though, if you are good working on electronics and have good manual dexterity, you could probably do this yourself. But the advantage of taking it to a shop is if they screw it up theyd probably have to replace or reimburse you for it.

what if i want to flash cyanogenmod11? is there any step by step? i dont want to brick this phone
do i have to update baseband?

First thing is to get rooted. Easiest way is to flash the root66 firmware via odin. Now decide if you want to use cwm/twrp recovery, or Mobile Odin to flash your rom.
If you want to use recovery, use goo manager or rom manager from the store to install the recovery. Then from the app choose reboot recovery and flash your rom. Factory reset after and reboot. Thats it.
You may need to update your firmware to at least 4.1.2. I think cm had issues running on older firmware.

isnt cm going to be 4.4.2? hwo do i update ? im fully rooted and running CWM 6.0.4.5 Touch ^^ dont know about TWRP but ive been using CWM for the longest time before so i trust it

If you want to skip updating firmware, just flash the rom from cwm. If it errors out youll need to update to at least 4.1.2 (official or root66) via Odin.

flash the ROM and the 4.3 modem, as well as a custom kernel or at&t stock kernel modified by DocHoliday77 to get WiFi working

Go to the firmware thread stickies in development (and linked in my Sig). Download the 4.1.2 firmware (or 4.3 if you choose, up to you), and flash using PC Odin.
Mobile Odin, while awesome in its own right, cannot update your boot loader and other important parts of the firmware needed by CM.

Or am I remembering wrong? Wasn't there issues with running newer CM roms on pre 4.1.2 firmware? Isn't that what started everyone using the boot loader asserts in their scripts?

I think it was just pre JB but I'm not sure.. If that's the case then flashing 4.1.2 firmware is a safer bet

Yes, as long as you don't care about the knox counter being tripped

If you didn't buy it from T-Mobile then it doesn't matter

As long as you don't try to flash older firmware or bootloader then Knox is really no big deal.. You can still root, flash custom recoveries and ROMs with it
