issues with downgrading at&t galaxy s3 from 4.3 to 4.1.1
I flash these all the time, but I think this is the first time from 4.3, is this the issue?
I tried odin 1.85 and 3.04 3.09 with same error on odin screen of the phone, error is as follows:
( SW REV CHECK: FAIL FUSED 2 > BINARY 0 )
I can still boot up to 4.3 normally, just cant flash back
Any one know how to fix this?
my odin screen also shows
custom binary download: no
currenty binary : samsung official
bootloader ap swrev: 2
qualcomm secureboot:enable
Once you have the 4.3 bootloader on your phone, you cannot downgrade it. You can only downgrade the ROM, not the bootloader.
Hi
I tried downgrading my stock i747m(fido) from 4.3 to 4.1.1 to unlock it but now i'm stuck at download mode
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD : nO
CURRENT BINARY : Samsung Officual
SYTEM STATUS : Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT : ENABLE
WARRANTY BIT : 0
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV : 1
i tried to recover it through kies but it didn't worked !
what can i do !!! HELP!!
solved the problem by reinstalling stock fido 4.3 rom with ODIN

FYI, you cannot downgrade your 4.3 KNOX bootloader to a 4.1.1 bootloader hence, the error.
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

Did you say it was recognized in Kies but firmware recovery failed? If so, and you were using Kies (not Kies 3), we may assume the last system update was not older than Android 4.1.1. I'll suggest you try these steps (in that order),i.e. if one doesn't work, try the next step ..
1. Try booting into recovery mode and doing a hard wipe/reset
2. Download the correct stock image from the thread below and flash via Odin. If you need help with flashing via Odin, please let me know
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 or visit Sammobile.com to download the correct stock image.
3. Open Kies. Do not connect the phone yet. Go to Tools => Firmware Upgrade and Initialization. Enter your phone model name (SGH-I747)=>OK and serial number. Check device information inside the battery compartment. Wait for firmware download to complete and you are prompted to connect the phone and follow the rest of the on-screen instructions.
4. Contact the vendor to find out what they did wrong and see what refund options you have
Ok, so I also wasn't able to get into recovery.
I decided to flash cwm via odin. After it flashed the phone rebooted and turned on normally. I have turned it on and off like 5 times and everytime it boots normal.....But, there is still a problem... baseband version is Unknown and there is no IMEI Number.

Oh, it's 4.3. Perhaps even better because you may be able to flash the 4.3 restore image. Your baseband/modem is corrupt or missing which is why it's showing the no baseband message.
Please see the thread below for the complete 4.3 stock restore image. Download the stock restore image and flash via custom recovery.

Or you may just flash the 4.3 JB modem via custom recovery since you have custom recovery working. The modem zip can be found here ...

I suggested custom recovery and not custom ROM. The idea is to get your phone back in working order first. Flashing a complete stock restore image should do it. Please refer to the thread I forwarded earlier. You should be able to flash custom recovery (like CWM or TWRP) to your phone via Odin and then use the custom recovery to flash the stock restore image.
I recently flashed a combination rom then stock from Sammobile in order to try to bypass FRP lock I repeated this a few times and both the combination rom and stock flashed fine but after flashing the same combination rom Its not working now the phone is stuck in factory binary and Odin will not flash any version 7 stock roms(I got all my roms from SAMMOBILE) I always end up with SW REV CHECK FAIL: (abl)Fused 4 > Binary 2 on my phone screen or something similar. If I use Prince comseys version of odin I end up with a dismatch error instead of rev check. If I flash an 8.0 stock rom it will complete quickly but the phone still boots into factory binary. Any help?

Solved. I was using the combination rom FA70_G955USQU4ARE1 with a V4 bootloader. I used odin v3.13.1 and flashed verizion G955USQU4CRE9 from Sammobile including the bootloader and it fixed my phone.
