[Q] Trying to downgrade from 4.4.2 (Cyanagenmod 11) to 4.1.2 stock (T999UVDMD5)

As you'll soon discover, I'm a noob. I stupidly took the OTA update on my Samsung Galaxy S3 T-Mobile T999 from 4.1.2 to 4.3. Since doing so mine and my wife's phone (did the same thing to her also) gets in a mess after being connected to the car stereo bluetooth and prevents outgoing calls unless the phone is rebooted.
So to try to solve this, I rooted the phone and installed CM 11, so now I'm on 4.4.2. This didn't help the issue either and instead is worse at connecting to the bluetooth.
I want to get my phone back to the stock 4.1.2 rom, which I got from sammobile (PDA T999UVDMD5) or at worst back to the 4.3 stock rom (PDA T999UVUEMJC).
This morning I tried to flash T999UVDMD5_T999TMBDMD5_T999UVDMD5_HOME.tar using ODIN 307 but it failed almost instantly with an Fail! Auth message.
I also tried to flash CM 10.1 zip on my SD card using ClockworkMod Recovery v 6.0.4.5 but again it failed almost instantly (sorry I didn't take note of the error).
So now I'm back to CM 11. So any suggestions for how to get back to either of the stock roms?

If you are getting errors in both odin and cwm, it sounds like it is a root issue. In other words, it sounds like the apps are being denied access to root and therefor cannot flash. Both odin and cwm are able to generate logs so you can tell the reason for the fail. Personally, I would recommend flasing twrp recovery instead of cwm since it seems to simplify alot and is a little better for our device. Without knowing exactly why the flash is failing, i would just recommend to try and re-root the phone again.

Did you put the phone in Downloading mode before connecting to the Odin ?
Do not try to flash 4.1.2 ever. It will brick your phone.

Yes the phone was in downloading mode. I couldn't find any posts that thought that I would brick my phone for sure by downgrading so I thought I would try. Could I go back to the 4.3 Stock ROM with some degree of confidence?

Yes you can go back to 4.3 Stock.

So I'm now back to Stock 4.3 by doing a flash via Odin. I did (stupidly) try to then go back to 4.1.2 again using Odin having put the phone in USB debugging mode first but I still got the same Auth Fail error.
Thanks for all the help.

You cannot downgrade like that once you have updated to official 4.3 firmware, no offence but why would you try it even after Perseus said not to? Anyway if you want to go back to 4.1.2 so badly just download a 4.1.2 ROM and flash it in recovery

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll just quit while I'm only slightly behind now and remain on 4.3 Stock. I appreciate everyone's help and suggestions.

Downgrade from CM11 4.4.2 to 4.3 on I747
I went from 4.3 stock to CM11 on my i747 but i didnt like the update. So i am trying to go back to 4.3 however whenever i try to install the 4.3 zip file thru twrp or CWM, it fails. As far as i know there is no odin file for going back. I tried to flash rogers 4.3 file through odin (thinking i would flash at&t modem later) but that also failed.
I would appreciate any help on how to install 4.3 once 4.4.2 has been installed on an i747

You seriously need to do some reading

For One, you are on the wrong forum. This is for T-Mobile's S3 not AT&T. Second, Like @passtheknowledge said, you really need to do significant research and reading here on XDA.

Please Read through this Thread. For Future Reference, all Odin Files for S3 in general are looked up by unique Keyword Root66. That thread is the right place for you to post errors or issues. If there's no 4.3 image for your phone there, you can post a request as well.
For your immediate Problem, there is a an alternate ATT StockMod Rom by @saranhai Please see this thread. Pay particular attention to the mandatory requirement of flashing a particular modem beforehand.

Tmobile Odin Fail

Hello! I am new to this forum but I am in a little fickle.
I have the Samsung Note 2 TMOBILE and couple weeks ago, I updated to 4.3 through regular OTA. I then rooted and flashed Cyanogenmod 11 and thus, voided my Samsung Knox Warranty bugger thing. I then attempted to go back to stock by flashing stock 4.1.1 through Odin and it worked! I tried to do OTA update again but I realized that the Samsung Knox Void kept me from reaching update services... So I was stuck at 4.1.1 Stock. From there, I was able to flash other custom roms and everything worked.
However, this is a problem for me. The 4.1.2 update from Tmobile was what enabled LTE on my note 2. So right now, I have the old baseband(?) that does not allow LTE. I even attempted to flash a non-knox 4.1.2 (which allowed LTE) through Odin and everything worked until the last second, where Odin is supposed to flash PASS..... It flashed FAIL and I was unable to update my baseband(?).
I was wondering if there is another way to enable LTE by updating to 4.1.2 in any way? Or is this completely unable due to the Samsung Knox?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you! Before I mess anything up, I just have a couple more questions. Do I just have to find the 4.1.2 modem? Or even 4.3? I already have CWM and am rimming cm 11 4.4.2. Does this mean I must downgrade first before I attempt to flash a modem?

It looks like you already have the MK2 modem installed. You don't want MDL for TW4.3 or AOSP 4.4.x builds.
Your Build ID: Build JDQ39.M919UVUAMDB will change depending on which ROM you flash and has nothing to do with the modem.

From what you posted, you are already on 4.2.2.
Also, when you say WiFi isn't working... do you mean it won't connect? Does it connect but you don't get any data? Are you getting the "connection unstable" warning? Could try using a different kernel.

In that case, I would say to go ahead and download whichever 4.4.2 ROM you want to run from either the Android Development or Original Development section. No TouchWiz ROMs are 4.4.2 so that means no WiFi calling if that's important. Grab a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM, etc) if you don't already have one. Make a backup of your current setup via recovery, then follow the installation instructions for whichever ROM you choose to go with.
You already have the correct modem for using 4.3+ and I see no reason why your WiFi issue should persist through a different ROM. I'd say you're ready. If you do still have WiFi issues once you update, try using a different kernel.

Alright, I will give it a try and reinstall KOT49H【4.4.2】Danvdh and see how it goes. Of course after doing a backup.

After flashing to stock I have no data/cell phone reception

I used the mobile Odin method of flashing back and I also used triangle away before I did this if it's worth mentioning. So after struggling with getting back to stock all day I finally make it happen I put my SIM card back in and notice I am getting no cell phone reception. WiFi works but without WiFi I can't do anything data wise. I contacted t-mobile support and they found no issues with the SIM card
Anyone have ideas on what I can do to fix this?

Anyone? I'm kind of stuck here

Ok so more info, I used this unroot method and followed it very close:
http://www.androidrootz.com/2012/10/how-to-unroot-samsung-galaxy-s3-no.html
I'm guessing this is what is causing the problem, I flashed the modem from UVDMD5. Only the modem I could not get anything else flash on odin so it was only the modem. So if I had to guess its a problem of getting the right modem back on the phone.
(On a side note, will I ever be able to get my phone back to 100% stock/able to get official updates,ect? Is it even possible?)
Edit: As far as the baseband goes it says "unknown".

I have no idea what that version is. I Suspect its the dreaded UVUEMJC. You will need to flash UVUEMJC Modem for T999 from this thread.
EDIT- Yes its indeed possible to go back to complete stock in order to receive Stock updates. After your IMEI is restored, you can use KIES to go back to complete stock. Please realize, you can also get latest update from Sammobile.com and flash it via Odin

Dont know if you remember but I am the guy you helped in the other thread get unrooted. I was the one having trouble with it getting stuck at "system" when I was trying to get back to stock with the firmware from sammobile.com. Do you think it would be ok to try it again now that I'm on stock?

Don't recall the conversation. But there is a easier way to unroot by removing SuperSU after you get your IMEI back.

Also so how do I go about flashing a different modem without being rooted? Do I just do it through odin like I did before? Or will I need to reroot/get a custom recovery?

If you don't have custom Recovery, then use mobile Odin to flash the Modem.
Better yet, please flash UVUEMJC Firmware via Odin again.

You don't flash a modem that way. It can brick.

[Q] No Sound after updating to 4.4.4 NK2

Hello all, I need some help. I bought a used S4 from a local person here. It was on an old update, Version 4.3.
I rooted it, did not take the OTA. installed custom recovery and flashed latest NK2 via philz touch, at first the WiFi wasnt working, so I installed the wifi fix/NON-HLOS.bin via odin. I also installed Modem.bin to upgrade to the latest baseband of NK2 also. This is when the trouble started, I probably messed up.
Currently both baseband and build are now NK2
I've downloaded NK2 TAR and flashed them back to t-mobile stock in an effort to fix, I used triangle away, cleared the counters, flashed stock NK2 in odin. Still no sound through the speakerphone. It was working before I did all this so I don't think its a hardware issue, Anyone have any ideas? Best I can tell is its probably the NON-HLOS.bin I flashed. Is there a correct one I can do, or anyway I can fix this? I've tried all I know with my limited knowledge of this phone. I had first flashed modem.bin i found here on xda, but i think my mistake was flashing the LTE/NON-HLOS.bin. probably is an older one for my bootloader im on? not really sure. I have also tried these with no success. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55373341&postcount=22
Any help is appreciated! Thanks so much!

You only need the modem bin if you are staying on an older bootloader, that was your mistake. Check what bootloader you have right now and you need to match your NON-HLOS to whatever bootloader you currently have

I will try this, I guess I'm confused exactly how to find out what bootloader im on, and where to find the matching NON-HLOS.bin file for it?
EDIT: used Phone info app from play store,
bootloader is MK2
baseband says NH7
PDA is NK2
CSC is NK2
Anyway to just update to the latest? Or whats reccomended version to stay on here?

Well you can re-flash NK2 firmware. Sometimes you have to flash a couple times for it to fully update everything

Ok I Odin'd NK2 several times, still no joy so I ended up using Fenny's guide to return to complete official stock on 4.4.2, then took tmobile's OTA updates and got back to 4.4.4 NK2 official, now bootloader says official samsung, status says official.
Bootloader: M919UVUFNK2
Baseband: M919UVUFNK2
PDA : M919UVUFNK2
CSC : M919TMBFNK2
EDIT: FIXED! Ended up a terrible coincidence, I took off and reseated the speaker on the back and it worked! Thank you so much for your help and pointing me in the right direction serio22 its much appreciated, I hit thanks for ya!
Still no sound, As far I read there are only 2 bootloaders for this device, so Im pretty sure I'm on the new one since it mentions knox on it.
I suppose its possible the hardware happen to fail at same time as all this? Seems like a crappy coincidence, but I dont know what else to try. Any other ideas? Everything is stock/official non rooted and up to date at this point.

Cool thanks posting what worked for you
