Hi, I have a galaxy s3 (SGH-i747M) with Telus and I would like to install cyanogenmod because touchwiz in a total bull****. Unfortunatly, my phone is «acting weird» and I can't install it.... I succeeded in rooting the phone, installing superSU and clockworkmod recovery but I can't flash the rom! When I want to flash it (cyanogenmod version stable 10.2.1....), I get the deadly error 7! I read that some people resolve this issue by updating their baseband, but I'm a little lost when it come to that.... I also tried to flash the rom with cyanogenmod installer, but even if the program said the install is a success, my phone encountered a unknown error and just reboot with a «clean» version of touchwiz. (This was not due to Knox, I desabled this crap when I install superSU.) Please, help me! (I softbrick my phone twice and hardbrick one previously, now he's ok but I don't want to trash it ...)
Here my phone info:
Android 4.3
Version baseband I747MVLUEND2
Kernel 3.0.31-2140838 [email protected] #1
Version number JSS15J.I747MLUEND2
I recommend flashing Philz Touch via Odin, boot into recovery, wipe, and flash a Kit kat custom ROM.
If you soft brick the phone again, you can use Odin to flash a pre-rooted ROM from XDA.
What recovery are you using? TWRP or Philz touch are your best options. make sure recovery is up to date.

My phone is a i9505, rooted and with latest Philz recovery. I flashed [ ROM ][AROMA][4.4] KitKat KangBang v1.0.3 [Nov, 13 2013] from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524837.
Now i have this problem: i lost root, i can't reboot in recovery mode and my phone is now turned from the international version (9505) into TMobile US version SGH M919 so i can't downgrade or upgrade anymore.
Tried to reflash Philz by odin but nothing changed: everytime i try to enter recovery mode the phone keeps booting KitKat KangBang v1.0.3 (almost perfectly working).
What have i to do? Flash original firmware by Odin, then root and mod recovery?
Is so what kind of original firmware should be used? International 9505 or TMobile M919 one?
I'm scared to brick my device and i'd like to have it back to 9505.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.

If you can access Download mode (Odin Mode) then you have no problems. If you're too scared to try out flashing back to original, let Kies do it for you. Install Kies and choose "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization". It will ask you for a specific Model number, You should write GT-I9505 and then it will ask you for the serial number, and then it would ask you to switch to download mode and it would download the latest stock rom for your device and flash it.

King regards!
This is very simple if you want it to be. Flash using the instructions at the link then do a factory wipe from stock recovery, flash again to stock and do another factory wipe.
For the flash to stock, just head over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267895
Follow the instructions and that will re-flash T-Mobile stock everything.

Hi guys!
I have here a samsung note 2 gt-n7100 from Globe telecom (philippines) which has the following software details:
Android 4.3
Baseband n7100xxuena1
Got this OTA from the time it was released..
The problem is i have tried flashing recovery both cwm and twrp but it doesnt seem to get installed, i flashed 6 times already by odin. And whenever i boot my fone to recovery I still get the stock recovery from samsung. Do you have any idea whether the phone is locked and prohibited from any flashing?
I am trying to root and install custom rom but still no lock. I am really stuck.
I already have installed a custom rom to sghi747 and i9305 before so im not a newbie to most procedures.
Can anyone help / enlighten me?
SOLVED guys
1. downloaded and installed stock from for n7100 (singapore) via Odin
2. flash Philz Recovery
3. Flash Mr.Luong custom rom.
Hello, I wanted to root and install TWRP then a KitKat ROM that's NOT altered or one that's been running and is a proven daily ROM. I haven't messed with Roms or phones for some time so I got all the info I need up to the ROM and I cant seem to find a stock rom. Any ideas?
Thanks!

This is the latest NE1 4.4 stock firmware (france) from sammobile uploaded to a different host by an user for faster download speeds,extract the zip file you'll find a .tar.md5 file flash it via ODIN.Then you can just install custom recovery via pc odin (use philz 6.26 ot 6.41 initially and once you get a custom recovery successfully installed you can switch to twrp) now once into philz recovery flash supersu 1.99 from this post flash it right after you flash your recovery ,your phone should be rooted.Few things that you need to do is uncheck auto reboot in odin when flashing the recovery,after flashing philz you should manually enter it by pressing the right combination of buttons ( volume up + home + power) and then flash the supersup 1.99 zip file right away. (place the supersu zip file in sd card right after you flash the 4.4 ROM and before you proceed to install custom recovery)
Philz touch
twrp
NE 1 Stock France
Unclear
singhpratik87, I'm a little unclear on the sequence your proposing me to go through to install a ROM. I thought you installed;
1) Superuser ...... Done!
2) ODIN Custom Recovery (TWRP) ...... Done!
3) NE1 4.4 ROM ..... Downloaded moved to phone but not installed...
Ok here are my concerns, I'm on a AT&T 1317 phone will this ROM work OR would a custom ROM be better? Next, what is Philz touch?
Thanks,
Soggy

See you didn't mention that you were on AT&T,unfortunately it wouldn't work you got to wait for your carrier to release the update. My explanations were pretty straight forward but now it doesn't matter anymore since you don't have the international note II GT N7100. The rom was supposed to be flashed via ODIN not SD CARD (it's a stock rom not a custom rom).And the steps are (for future reference) flash stock rom via odin, then flash philz via odin(uncheck auto reboot in odin),manually enter into recovery mode , flash supersu 1.99(or whichever is the latest) , reboot phone , DONE.
Philz touch is another popular recovery used by note II users .it's based on CWM with advanced features.
singhpratik87..... What custom ROM out there is equivalent to the 4.4 kitkat for a AT&T I317 Note 2 running 4.3? Those would prob be better anyway....
Also this other recovery you mention is it better? Like I said I have been out of messing with phones for a few years Thanks!

None in the International Note II forum that would be compatible with AT&T as far as 4.4.2 is concerned.There's no development for 4.4.2 in your a&t note II thread?
why don't you check out this thread which is specifically for your at&t branded note 2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2-att/development
Hello, I recently just updated my Rogers SGH-i317M to 4.3, which then downloaded a system update which put it at 4.4. I was running Jedi X20, which is based on 4.1.2, when I first tried updating, I flashed the "4.3param_tz" file in odin, and was left with an error screen saying I need to recover using Kies, so I downloaded the official release, flashed via odin, and thats how I got to where I am now. I want to try the "Ditto Note 3" rom, "Sky Note Air 4.3", "Mean Bean" and "Beanstalk". My main question is, can I just start flashing these roms like I was before on 4.1.2, or do I need to use the specific kernel listed on their page? Before you needed a specific kernel to run a touchwiz rom or an aosp rom, so is it still the same? Or can I use my stock 4.4 kernel and try both aosp and tw roms now? If so could you point out the kernels I would need? And educate me on anything else I should know about before flashing 4.3 and 4.4 roms, (I'm not worried about warranty), this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time in reading this and helping me out, much appreciated!!
Regardless of where u are, I'd Odin to Rogers stock KK 4.4.2. Then Odin Twrp recovery, boot into twrp recovery and flash SU v.1.99. Finally choose your rom and flash away. This way you are on the lastest KK 4.4.2 Bootloader and KK Modem/Baseband.

I did all that except flash SU 1.99, so I tried flashing SKynote Air and it didnt work, upon restarting my phone it said no os is available. So I tried restoring from the backup I made of the official 4.4.2 Samsung rom in twrp, didn't work. Tried Odin, didn't work. Then I tried flashing the Skynote rom again and it worked. So I'm afraid of flashing any other roms now.
Hello all. I just received a galaxy s3 from my sister in law running 4.4.2. I am aware I can't downgrade the complete firmware using Odin. The phone it's rooted. My question is what can I do with this thing as far as playing with roms and what not? Can I only install 4.4.2 based roms? Can I even unroot? I have been rooting and installing roms for years now but never have a phone felt more unfriendly before this. Thanks in advance.
Is the phone running stock 4.4.2?
You can install a custom recovery to the phone, copy some custom ROMs to an external SD card, and try out a bunch of ROMs.
Yeah its stock 4.4.2 rooted with clockwork mod recovery. Do the roms have to be 4.4 or 4.4.2 based? Tried cyanogenmod 4.3 and failed. I pretty much would like to flash via odin to go back to stock unrooted but 4.4.2 was over the air. Got 4.3 via sammobile but that fails. Kies won't show my device for firmware recovery. Shows it as normal to sync.
What error did you get when trying to flash CM10.2? Is your CWM up to date?
I would have assumed that CM10.2 would be comaptible with your KK bootloader and modem.
Do not make anymore attempts to flash 4.3 via Odin. This could result in a bricked phone because a KK modem on a 4.3 bootloader cannot be fixed using any method available on XDA.
Yeah I'm aware of the boot loader and modem downgrade issue. Tried odin once and just left it as is.
Is your CWM up to date? What error did you get when trying to flash CM10.2?
I don't remember the error. According to Rom manager, my recovery is up to date
What version is the cwm? I prefer to manually flash a custom recovery instead of relying on ROM manager.
Cwm 6.0.4.7. I've always used rom manager except for my galaxy nexus. Flashed with windows terminal and fastboot.
Since CWM is up to date, try flashing the most recent CM11.
Older cm roms, and any older roms should run fine on NE4. Some may not flash though, such as cm10. This is because the updater script doesn't include NE4 as it wasn't out when the rom was built. If you edit the script to make it flash, any of the available roms should run just fine.
As it stands though, the easiest thing would be to do as audit13 suggested and flash cm11. That and most other recent roms should flash just fine w/o any extra work.

well, after downloading the most recent cm11 nightly and gapps, rebooted into recovery and wiped. when trying to flash cm11, sd card not mounting. couldn't mount, restored a backup only to be greeted to a display that would not go to sleep and a fury of app and processes stopping pop ups. settings-accounts-backup and reset-factory data reset-etc did nothing but ask for a password. did it through recovery to a perfectly working phone with baseband version: unknown, IMEI: unknown, IMEISV: unknown. flashed the NE4 modem Doc posted in another forum, no dice. same message from cm as before. this time i remember. it was a bunch of basebands not including NE4.
And getprop ro.bootloader says NE4. first said unknown but maybe i typed it wrong.
Got it all back running. tried the S3Rx NE4 aroma zip that would end with installation aborted. found enewman17's post on updating using a stock-rooted 4.4.2 zip after flashing Doc's modem zip. all is well! So thank you DocHoliday77, and thank you enewman17!
Glad you got it working!
