Hey just wondering if I should do the update to stock 4.3 OTA or not. I've been looking at the root66 knox free 4.3 and it sounds good. Any Issues with it? or stock OTA? I've read mixed reviews, and am now confused. Also if I do install root66 on this wind t999v, am I required to install the stock OTA 4.3 update for it to work? Or am I in a better situation if I just install it from 4.1.2? Also any basic instructions on what I would have to do to install root66 would be much appriciated. I'm technologically inclined, just been out of the cellphone moding scene for quite some time, and just want to ask before I start asking how to unbrick. Thanks in advance.:good:
Knox Free Root 66 is always preferred over Stock update. The instructions and all the necessary files are in the Root66 Thread.
In short you need Odin v 3.xx Need to have the Drivers installed for your phone. Make sure Kies is not installed on your PC. Put your phone in Download mode and then connect to pc. Flash the Root66 file and you are done. There are several tutorials on Youtube for how to use Odin.
Note - For your Knowledge, please read on the 4.3 and its locked bootloader.
The root66 works fine on the wind phone and disables knox. it doesn't trip the flash counter so warranty is still intact if you had to flash back to a knox-rom. once you get into custom roms', the flash counter gets tripped though.
i just installed the 4.4.2 likewise rom, and it is smoooooooth. lol. it's not official though.

because you cannot downgrade from 4.3 firmware.
Hey guys,
I got a I747 I want to give to my mother as a gift.
I downgraded 4.1.2 to 4.1.1 and ran the secret menu unlock to unlock the sim card, that worked perfectly.
Now I want to update this out of 4.1.1 to 4.4.2 but I cannot find a stock firmware to run on odin anywhere.
Do I need to go to 4.3 first? Is there a stock firmware for that?
SamMobile stops at 4.1.2... OTA obviously doesn't work.
How Can I get this done..

You can just flash stock 4.1.2 firmware from sammobile and then run OTA updates.
I also found this on sammobile: Canada (Bell Mobile) (Black Edition), Version: Android 4.4.2, PDA: I747MVLUFNE6

Will it work though.
I have it already on my pc, I updated my wife's with it.
If I update to 4.1.2 will OTA come? Even with the I747(not the I747m) on the Bell network?

I have a Motorola Atrix from Bell. I flashed it with stock ATT firmware and received OTA updates from ATT over wi-fi.
Since you have the i747, start with stock pre-rooted ATT 4.1.1. This will flash the stock recovery, radio, and bootloader. Run triangle away, flash a stock unrooted ATT stock 4.1.1 ROM, and take the OTA updates.

Ok, so I guess it wasn't clear, my bad.
I have 4.1.1 stock firmware on my att 1747. It has never been rooted.
I run the Ota and I got an error, now it tells me "Your software is up to date".
Can I flash a bell i747m 4.4.2 image onto this i747 or will it brick?

You can flash i747m firmware on your phone but DO NOT flash the radios or bootloader from an i747m to an i747 and vice versa. Bricking is a really possibility if you do that.
Do you have a custom recovery? If you do, you will need to install a stock recovery.
Try resetting the phone (wiping cache, data) in recovery or through the ROM itself.

Alright, I have the stock recovery. How do I not flash the radio and boatloads when using the firmware from sammobile?
You cant. You cannot flash another devices firmware. Odin wont let it happen and if it did youd end up hard bricked due to mixed firmware. For example your sbl1, modemst and param partitions (plus others) would be i747 and youd be flashing sbl2, sbl3, rpm, etc from an I747M.
The only thing you could use are the system partition and kernel, nothing else. There are two ways to accomplish this, one is to build a rom from the firmware and flash that. The other is to flash with mobile odin, but that requires root and youd still have to be very careful.
Another priblem I see you encountering is you cannot run 4.4.2 without 4.3 or newer firmware. It will not boot otherwise.
You need to go to the General section and follow one of enewman17's tutorials to get to either 4.3 or 4.4.2. Personally, I dont see any other way you will be able to accomplish it.

Alright, based on Doc holiday, and others they say It cannot be done and from my experience I beleive them.
Thank you,
It's very difficult to do this when others are giving bad advice.
So for the record, cannot flash i747m firmware to i747.
Thanks!
The annoying part here is I can do it with my m7, I just flashed the Dev edition onto my Bell m7 with no problems.
All devices are different in many ways. What is perfectly safe to do with one brand or model can brick another.
And I wouldnt call it "bad" advice... I've seen audit13 and others helping lots of folks with very good advice. We all make mistakes and we all have more we can learn about these devices. No one knows everything about this stuff and shouldnt let that prevent them from trying to help.
Those who are trying to help are doing so with the best of intentions and tell people what they think could be the best way to solve a given problem. In cases like this one, its easy to see how anyone would think its ok to flash different firmware between similar models based on being able to do so on other devices they are familiar with. (If I had gone into those forums I wouldve been telling people the opposite and ended up being wrong there.)
All I can say is chalk it up as a new lesson on a different device, and I hope you still appreciate that someone was trying to help.
@audit13 I hope none of this discourages you from helping. Ive seen plenty of threads where your advice was sound and appreciated, and I am glad you have been around to help so many people out!
Now, back on the problem at hand... if you want to be running the latest 4.4.2 kk, you will have the option to use the OS (/system and kernel) from either the I747 or I747M firmware. But first you must fully update to a minimum of the 4.3 MJB firmware for the I747. Once you have this running for your base firmware/bootloader, you can then run the Bell or AT&T (4.3 or 4.4.2) system. (I hope this is making sense!)
So first, update the full 4.3, MJB, firmware via Odin. (Theres a thread in General with the file, ill post the link in a min).
If you want to update to 4.4.2 firmware, you can then follow enewman17's tutorial to do so via OTA.
You can then either stay with that, or use Mobile Odin to flash ONLY the system and kernel from the Bell firmware.
Let me know if any of that needs better clarification! Also let us know what your ultimate goal is. From the options you have, where do you want to end up?

Ok, here are some links.

After updating with the 4.3 firmware, you can first try using the official ota to update. Then, if that fails you can go to enewman17's thread and try his method.

Hi, sorry this is probably a noob question but I've been reading through the forums and got confused how to update my rooted s4. Normally I would just install the custom rom with the update but it seems like this isnt the case right now.
I'm currently on 4.2.2, rooted, and have wicked as my rom. How would I update to 4.4.4? From what I understand there is a new modem and firmware... something to do with NH7? Can someone explain to me what NH7 does. Thanks for all your help!
NH7 is the newest firmware based on 4.4.4 and it is recommended if you plan of using 4.4.4 tw roms. To update it just download the NH7 firmware from general thread and flash it with Odin, after that you can use cf-auto root to root, or if you're just planning to flash a ROM then just flash recovery and then flash ROM.. If you care about tripping your Knox counter then just know that flashing recovery or rooting will trip it

You mention that you want to update and that under normal circumstances you would simply flash the an updated custom ROM... yet you say you've read it isn't that simple, right?
You are correct, it isn't THAT simple, but it is ALMOST that simple. Being as that you are still on the old 4.2.2 pre-KNOX bootloader and all, you can flash and flash and flash all day long and a single use of Triangle Away is all you'd need to still be able to revert your device back to 100% stock, both firmware AND flash counters if you ever needed to for some reason. If you use Odin, Kies, or take an OTA update you will lose that ability. Anything you flash once you go through official channels to update will trip your KNOX counter... and that cannot be reset. The problems you've read about simply flashing an updated custom ROM is that you will have problems with data.
The data drops can be avoided by flashing the newest modem, which would be NH7. Understand though, that method only updates your GSM modem; your LTE modem would be unaffected. This would only be a problem though if you are having trouble receiving LTE where others with the same carrier can get it with no problem. If you aren't having any problems with LTE, then I would recommend to simply update your GSM modem and use the custom recovery of your choice (ClockWorkMod, Philz Touch, or TWRP) to flash any of the ROMs in the T-Mobile GS4 Android Development section.
To update your GSM modem, follow the instructions in this thread. That thread is for updating to the 4.4.2 NB4 modem, which that modem would actually be all you need; but if you wish to have the NH7 modem, just use the modem.bin ONLY file from this post instead of the modem package included in the tutorial thread. After that little bit of work, you can flash any Android version you want; from 4.2.2 all the way up to 4.4.4... AOSP, TouchWiz, or the Google Play Edition ROMs.
So from what I understand...
1. Update the modem not firmware
2. Flash ROM
So I don't need to re-root?
You are correct.
No need to re-root.

T999LUVUBNF4 Root
Hey, I've been trying to root my S3 running the T999LUVUBNF4 firmware, but I'm having trouble. Towelroot doesn't support it, I haven't seen anything about a Root66, and I've heard mixed reports on CF-auto root. Does anyone know if there is a workable solution yet? How would I go about flashing SuperSU? Thanks.
Okay I've recently just flashed the root66 firmware that gave me supersu and all that.
My question is... Where do i go from here?
How would i proceed to
1) Install TWRP?, which version as well? Is 2.8 d2tmo fine? Can i have some instructions whether i use TWRP manager(goomanager doesn't seem to exist anymore) or do i have to go into download and flash through odin 3.09?
2) Installing a custom rom? I want to install Paranoid Android 4.6 beta 5 for D2lte but i'm not sure how to go about it. I have already downloaded the rom itself but not sure how to proceed from here. Also, how would i get the working and latest version of Gapps? (Also, can you tell me how to install Cyanogenmod 11 for d2lte as well?)
3) What are some cool apps to get?
4) Which root apps/roms/softwares will brick my phone? I'm never sure which thing will work and which won't.
5) how do i install xposed?
6) How do i remove all the bloatware? and how would i got about flashing through my phone without using the computer? is mobile odin compatible with my phone?
My phone is the SGH-T999L and i have no idea if i have a locked bootloader and how i would go about and bypass the limitations of this locked bootloader

Rooting SGH-T99L with T999LUVUBNF4
I've read most of the more recent posts, and it is still unclear to me how to root my T999L which is already on the T999LUVUBNF4 baseband and build. I've seen references to cf-auto-root (like serio22 above), but the T999 (which I believe works for T999L) is based on T999UVALEM, which is 4.0.4 ICS. I certainly don't want to downgrade that far. The latest firmware on the first page of this Root66 thread is T999L_UVUBNC1, and there was a post indicating better reception with the newer modem, so I'd rather not downgrade that either. If I flash T999L_UVUBNC1 will my baseband remain intact (BNF4)? Or should I wait for a pre-rooted T999L_UVUBNF4? Or is there a better way altogether to root my T999L/BNF4?
Also, for other n00bs reading this, it's pretty clear that towelroot doesn't work on BNF4.

rooted Windmobile 4.4.4
anyone have 4.4.? for wind mobile what ever is the new one stock that is rooted ?
I tried flashing UVDLJC - UVDMD5 (latest OTA update) using Multiboot Recovery v2.2 - (twrp2.8.3.0)
When flashing directly onto blank partition, I got some error about missing build.prop, and so decided to try flashing on top of stock ROM.
Stock I have installed as Flash PureStock Rom + Secure UVAMB7 Kernel (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43772060&postcount=3) -- again, in multiboot -- and tried installing OTA on top of that. Got "error executing updater binary in zip"
What am I doing wrong?

slimkat v9 to stock tw
Please help me. I have a sgh-t999. I want to know is it safe to install stock tw t999_uvuenc2. I'm currently running slimkat v9. My baseband is t999uvuenc2 and my android version is 4.4.4 i really want my s3 to revert back to stock. Ive been asking to the roms posted in this unit if it safe to direct flash but i havent got a good advice. I really want the stock touchwiz. Pls help me.
Which firmware to use
After I un-bricked my SGH-T999 with the debrick image sdcard ( YAYYY), I was able to boot with the stock 4.3 rom again.
I reflash the root66 4.3 firmware hoping it could get the correct boot image back in place. However it got stuck at the Samsung logo.
So I went into stock recovery and did a wipe/factory reset. Now I can still boot with the debrick sdcard but I am back in JellyBean (4.1.2 T999UVDMD5).
Which firmware should I flash 4.3 or 4.1.2? And did I miraculously downgraded my firmware ( I thought it wasn't possible) ?

i have rooted and unlocked galaxy s3(i don't know if it is t999 or i747)the imei and boatloader are for t999 and the android build is i747mvldlk4 4.1.1 official rom and i want to flash new rom but i don't know what i have to flash (t999 roms or i747)please help me....
What does it day in download mode? What about the baseband/modem version?
Best way to know for sure is to install terminal emulator and enter this:
getprop ro.bootloader
You may simply have a T999 running on an I747 based rom. The two are very compatible when it comes to custom roms.
Since it sounds like you are on pretty old firmware, you will probably need to fully update it before flashing a newer rom. Just remember to only flash firmware for your model device. So if it's a T999 do not flash I747 firmware. Once updated you can then flash custom roms from either device.
(Also check the sticker under the battery to see what model it says)
baseband:t999uvdmd5 and modem board is msm8260a
What about the bootloader?
boatloader:t999uvdmd5
And just for good measure, check the sticker under the battery.
You are currently running on T999 base firmware with an I747 based rom, so you can be pretty certain you've got a T999 model.
You'll want to flash one of the two latest firmwares for the T999. (NC2 or OH1 if I'm remembering correctly) (note that some roms may not flash on the newest OH1 firmware if they have been updated recently, so you may want to go with NC2 to make things a little easier for now.)
After flashing your firmware, flash a custom recovery and then from the recovery flash your choice of rom.
Hope that helps and good luck!
thanks so much for help....but i want to ask about the files which i need to download when i flash nc2 firmware please(do i need to download any files for modem and kernel or this files are downloaded automatially with the firmware file??
When you are dealing with firmware, it includes everything, unless otherwise stated. Download and unzip the firmware package. Then flash the .tar.md5 file with Odin. Back up data first of course, just in case.
Doing this will give you a fully updated, stock, unrooted device. Reroot using Towel root, or flash recovery then a rom if you choose.
If you haven't already, I suggest reading the first few posts of my firmware thread (sticky in dev section). There's already a lot explained there.
does flashing t999uvuenc2 relock my mobile network..and if that will happens what can i do to unlock without code
Once the phone has been unlocked via code or the free method, the phone should remain unlocked after flashing ROMs.
Yup, the unlock is permanent. You can safely flash firmware, roms, etc.
ihave flashed cm12.1 d2tmo on my t999.but the features of camera like full HD video recording and face detecting were lost..can I restore them on this rom
