[Q] Trying to understand why I cant instakk KitKat

Been fooling around for weeks now trying to install 4.4 on my T999V (Videotron)
I rerouted my phone several times, updated to the last firmware and bootloader multiple times and I am just unable to install KitKat (CM11, CarbonRom, Mokee, etc.). I tried TWRP, CWM and Philz recovery
I can install any CM based 4.3 or TW 4.3 without any issue.
Here is some info I generated to help you help me
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME - SGH-T999V
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (6COUNT)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty BIT: 1
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 1
Recovery log (cant post outside links yet): https :// dl. dropboxusercontent. com/u/58113995/philz_recovery. log
Let me know if you require more details
p.s. I dont care about tripping the flash counter

I should add that since I am under EML2 firmware, I noticed that I am loosing ROOT after reboot.
Flashed the remove KNOX script, (obviously reflashed SU 1.93)
first boot I have ROOT but if I reboot again I loose it

Please flash a different Recovery. Preferably latest TWRP. After that try Liquidsmooth or Slimbean for T999.

Will give that a try after work and report back

I just want to confirm that Iwas able to install Liquid Smooth.
Dont know why CM11 or Carbon would fail.
Thnx for the help

Which Liquidsmooth?
I was struggling with T999V as well, I was wondering which Liquid smooth you installed and if you're having any problems, does HSPA+ work and maybe you even got LTE now?

Unrooting from CM 11 after a previous stock 4.3 OTA update - NAND Write Fail!!

Hi Guys,
I have an unlock code from AT&T and I want to use it from the Stock ROM. I am currently running CM 11 nightlies.
I tried the standard method of using ODIN from PC to flash stock ROM. It doesnt seem to work. I am always stuck in ;NAND write Fail'.
Before installing CM a while ago I updated OTA to 4.3, and based on what I read everywhere this seems to have something to do with the issue.
Any help on how to proceed will be great.
I am using ODIN 3.07
Downloaded Stock ROM from sammobile.
This is what my download screen reads.
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (2 Counts)
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty Bit: 1
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2
SW REV CHECK FAIL: Fused 2 > Binary 0
Thanks!

Once you have the 4.3 bootloader, you cannot use Odin to install a stock AT&T ROM. You can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486

Thanks! I will take a look. Hopefully I can unlock my device at some point.

Was able to unlock based on the lead from post #2

[Q] Stuck at sboot.bin when flashing... what to do?

Hi there, I have been trying to change my rom today. I did so long time ago, but today when I updated found out about KNOX and its restrictions.
After updating to Phoenix 4.4.2 rom, I can't change ROM; the only one that succeded was N7100UBUFND2_N7100ZTOFND2 (official)...
Now when I try to install any other rom I find a "sboot.bin... error" at ODIN.
What to do? I already tried changing from official 4.4.2 to one without SNOX; tried applying Dr. Ketan patch with same error; even Dr.Ketan's multitool doesn't work.
I've been spending all the day reading through the forums without good results.
Also, in Download Mode, it shows:
Current Binary: Official
System Status: Custom
Knox Warranty void: 1
AP SWREV: A2
What can I do? I don't like Samsung's Official Bloatware and I NEED my phone for work...

Solved: Just had to install any rom with new bootloaders. No downgrade is possible. Installed one without knox and voila.

Attempting to flash stock rom

I've been trying to unroot and go back to stock for a couple of days now with no luck. I was running latest Omni and TWRP. When I try to flash via Odin it says FAILED then reboot hangs on Samsung GN2 screen. When I go to "Downloading..." screen it shows:
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1
AP SWREV: A3
SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 1

I wish I could help but I am having a similar issue. If you have had any success with this please let me know what you have found. Good luck!

Y`all need to ODIN flash a firmware version that does not have the boot.IMG. You most likely have a firmware version that has a locked boot loader.
MK6 or the latest NE5 are such animals.
You also need to add more info for people to help. Like where Odin failed, why you are flashing back, what version of Odin, etc.
Makes it easier to tell you a possible solution.

I had no issues coming back to stock after running pretty much all the 4.4 AOSP roms, going to sell the device so I wanted to sell it stock.
I was on the MC3 or LJ2 bootloader, not sure which one but I rarely, if ever, change radios. I first went back to TW 4.1 using Odin and following the steps on this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275844

Sgh-747 bricked

I was trying to change the firmware of my S3 but in the middle of the process the computer went off. Now is bricked showing the KIES message, when a try to go back to stock using the only official firmware that is in Sammobile it says AUTH error.
The screen of the S3 in download mode says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD:NO
CURRENT BINARY:SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
WARRANTY BIT: 1
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
It was running the 4.2.2 that I got via OTA but I can not use the same because I do not have access to the recovery mode. I think that if I could find a .tar 4.2.2 I could solve the problem. Please guys I need your help on this. Any suggestion o way to solve?

Were you running 4.2.2 or 4.4.2? I thought the AT&T SGS3 (i747) went from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 to 4.3 to 4.4.2 for official ROMs. The 4.1.1 stock ROM on sammobile was the last full release, all since have been updates. The WARRANTY BIT: 1 output would indicate it was on at least the 4.3 release if not one of the 4.4.2 releases; NE4, NJ1, or NJ2.
While I am waiting for a reply I will search to see if any of the devs created a 4.4.2 stock tar, I have seen in done with an older version, but it is a rare occurrence.

Simplest way to get the phone up and running would be to flash TWRP and then cm11. By booting CM11, you could determine the bootloader and modem. Once these two things are know, you may be able to flash an updated bootloader, modem, and ROM from TWRP.

To be sincere I am not pretty sure, I think it was 4.4.2. I can not enter to recovery so installing the last one through it is not an option.

If you can get to download mode you could do as audit13 suggested and flash the TWRP.tar.md5 (custom recovery) with Odin or Heimdall and then flash either CM11 as he suggested, or one if enewman17's stock 4.4.2 roms.

thank you all guys. I installed TWRP then CM11 and now is back! I appreciate your help. Have the best wishes and Merry Christmas! Greetings

Yeah, I was about to suggest flashing twrp but glad to find that you have fixed it. I used this same method to recover a galaxy tab GT-P6210 a while ago
