Here is the pre-rooted stock 4.1.2 firmware for T999: UVDMD5
Here is the official stock 4.1.2 firmware for T999 which is not rooted: UVDMD5
Both of these firmwares are Odin flash only.
Good luck!
Pre-rooted meaning before root? Or it's already been rooted?

I have a t999 that has slimkat on it. I rooted and installed slimkat awhile back. I'm wanting to go back to stock. the only stock rom i found on here so far is not a rom at all. it's an exe file that tries to install a ton of adware, malware and trojans (according to symantec).
Does anyone know where to find a stock rom? Also, I currently have the t99uvuenc2 firmware, so it needs to work with that, I guess. I don't know how to change that, but if someone can point me to the directions on how to get this thing back as close to stock as possible, that would be great.
Follow the link in the first post to sammobile.com and download the latest firmware from there. Then download Odin 3.07 or 3.09 and use the program to flash your phone back to completely stock.

Thanks, audit13. I'm back to stock with no issues at all. I'm fairly new to this, so I must have misunderstood something up at that first post. I'm all set now though.
im trying to install latest stock ROM for sgh-t999L but always ends up failing on odin. At sbl2.mbn then it says AUTH FAIL
Hello,
I am a noob and trying to unlock SGH-T999 currently on 4.1.2 . Reading all forums, I learned that I have to downgrade to 4.1.1 . Also I read that I need to downgrade the modem , unlock , then upgrade the modem. I also managed to root the phone.
My problem is locating the files, everywhere I find is full spam and etc including Sammobile
I appreciate if someone can provide me a link that I can find the two modems I need.
Thank you in advance.
The only thing you need is to downgrade the modem.. You can either do a full downgrade to 4.1.1 or just downgrade the modem to LJA.. I don't know where you have been searching to locate these files but everything you need is in the development or general threads
Edit: they're all in the development thread and stickied

Thank you very much, I located them on development thread. Before I was on other sites that would end up being spam or all kinds surveys before they give the download link.
Just to clarify, I use the odin to flash the 4.1.1 ( Nov 2012) LJA modem, and after unlocking , I have to revert back to MD5. Is this right?
Also I see LJC modem for 4.1.1 ( Jan 2013 ) . Which one is better to use ?
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
No, you use custom recovery to flash the modems.. And I would flash LJA.. LJC was kind of iffy for some.. If you don't want to use custom recovery then flash LJA firmware via Odin, and after you do the unlock, flash MD5 with Odin

My friend,
Flashing with odin failed: I selected Phone and pointed to the LJA.bin and AUTO Reboot was checked. Luckily the phone is still ok. Now, if I use custom recovery, which file should I point to as I do not see a DOT TAR file in the Modem zip files .
Thank you for your help.
No, you flash the zips with custom recovery, you do not extract them and flash the bin with Odin.. So you can use a custom recovery and flash the zip or download the LJA firmware and flash Odin.. The firmware is the one that will be a TAR file.. Luckily your phone didn't brick

It worked great from custom recovery, unlocked the phone , inserted ATT sim card, and it saw the AT network with the correct APN and etc. And now I am back on MD5. The actual unlocking thing took 10 min, and I spent about 6 hours researching it. Good learning experience though!
Thank you very much for your help..
Hey everyone,
I previously had the UVUEMJC stock ROM from tmo. This was an OTA upgrade from 4.1.2. If I would have known about the new KNOX counter when I upgraded, I probably would not have. Now this counter is showing a '1' which voids my warranty (Check this XDA thread). Oh well, no fix thus far so I can't worry about that.
Anyway, I've recently flashed with the sammobile latest 4.3 ROM. When I attempt to check for a software update, it takes forever and finally tells me that my system was modified and I can't update. Checking the Device Status under settings, it shows it as 'Custom'. So, is there a reliable ROM that I can get that would fix the OTA upgrade procedure? Am I just screwed, for lack of a better term, and stuck with flashing to upgrade?
Currently looking at the deodexed ROM from Doc (Link to thread) to reflash my device so I can at least work on other things without KNOX being in the way.
Anyone have any suggestions if I should go for this ROM or another? Can I even restore this ability to update OTA?
Lastly, as long as I am sticking with a 'stock-revised' ROM, will I retain all my apps, settings, and user data?
Thanks guys,
Johnathan
You can only update via ota if you are 100% full stock. If you must have this back, you have to flash the official firmware via Odin.
Check out saranhi's StockMod rom too. But if you just want stock, rooted, with no knox, flash the root66 firmware with odin. (With root66 you MIGHT get notified of an ota, but it will fail if you try to use it)

I attempted to unroot my phone via downloading the SAMMOBILE 4.3 ROM and flashing it via Odin, and that didn't work. Do I need to do something else other than flashing the ROM?
BTW, thanks for your work, etc. on this forum. Is there a deoxed ROM for the t999? If I can't get back to original, might as well get this thing as slim as possible, etc. Lastly, if I use another ROM other then a stock one, will I need to save data, reinstall apps, etc?
Thanks,
Johnathan
First, go to my firmware thread. Stickied in development and linked in my sig. You can get all firmware there and the download should be much faster.
Im not sure why odin didnt work, what firmware build are you on now, and what did you try to flash?
You can find the deodexed stock roms in development section. They're there, you just may have to dig back a few pages.
Check out saranhi's StockMod and enewmans S3RX if you want a modded stock. If you go to a cm/aosp based rom, you will have to wipe data. Not always needed when just updating, but it is recommended for best stability.

I'm downloading the root66 latest and the stock ROM as well (both from here).
Build number: jss15j.t999uvuenc2
I flashed the latest ROM from SAMMOBILE with Odin 3.09.
Thanks again,

Good day! I apologize if this is in the wrong section. I have searched for 3 dyas now and cannot find anything. I am no stranger to rooting and putting roms on phones. With that said, I downloaded and installed a rom (Infamous 6.0). I am trying to sell the phone and need to know how to get back to stock from this. I tried to odin the stock rom on the phone and got an error that said to go to kies and ... well I can't remember exactly what it said. after about 3 different tries I could not do anything with odin or the phone. I was lucky enough to reinstall infamous via Odin, and everything is back to normal. Going through the rom I found that I miss read and it is not in fact for my phone, but for the S4. I thought it would give me 4.4. Anyway. I basically need help to get it back to stock and root so I can sell this thing. Please help!
Download 4.3 firmware and flash with Odin, it shouldn't give you a message about kies.. And the ROM was likely not for the S4, otherwise you would probably be bricked, hardware is different

Ok. That's good to know. I appreciate the quick response. Now, any chance to point me in the right direction?
In the development section there is a thread containing firmwares, download the one for your device and flash it with Odin. Instructions are posted there if you need help with that

Thank you again...SO much!
New galaxy user, here its a s3 for ATT 4.4.2 i747CUCFNE4. I have rooted using the Cf Auto-Root method.
Along the lines of trying to flash a new task manager apk, (for I had to factory reset my phone because the original task manager was missing) I came across a thread that had s5 apps (settings apk) and tried flashing this apk(don't laugh I know.) Then I couldn't get my phone to boot through the standard setup wizard. So I tried booting into recovery and factory resetting my phone clearing cache, dalvik, and partition.
My biggest problem arose when I chose to format system from ghe recovery.
I know all this can be fixed with odin but I can't find a 4.4.2 os link, I have read I can't simply downgrade my os. A link to a 4.4.2 stock rom thread would be greatly appreciated. I also have the Ktoonsez kernel installed if that makes any difference.
AT&T never released a full 4.4.2 ROM. AT&T released 4.3 and 4.4.2 via OTA updates only.
Since you are on the NE4 bootloader, do not flash anything that will attempt to downgrade the bootloader or the modem. A mismatched modem/bootloader combination may cause other problems.
Have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789917
Ok I just reviewed your link in your response but just to be clear I'm starting where it says step 3: stock deodex and root and finishing the walkthrough from there?
And also will this reset me to my factory kernel?? Either or it doesnt matter to me I'm still trying to find one that I find suitable.
And I appreciate the speedy response you've been a huge help.
If you just want to get your phone up and running, I would flash Philz and then CM11. Confirm the bootloader and modem then decide if a stock ROM would be best.
I am always paranoid when it comes to flashing bootloaders on the s3 so I prefer to know exactly whan my phone is running.
I have never used the thread I linked because I no longer have an s3 i747m. Infact, I haven't had my s3 for several months.
Ok and my last question is you can flash Philz and CWM 11 through odin?
Nevermind I see it now greatly appreciated
I hope it all goes well. With CM11, you will also need to flash Gapps via CWM as CM11 does not include certain apps such as the Play store.
Now odin wont recoginize or open any of my rom files. Li see the rom im trying to flash by name but when i click open it only opens the next folder instead of initiating the flash. I really just need someone who has a 4.4.2 stock rom in md5 format.(edited or not.)
As a last effort if i get no answer im going to try to downgrade to another os and reupdate to 4.4.2 right after. Ive been searching for days now all i see are guides from how to upgrade to a different os . If it does include 4.4.2 they only posted the update and not the entire rom.
And when i do find someone posting a full rom for 4.4.2 its either not for 747i or its not a md5 file so someone plz help me.

DO NOT downgrade to a bootloader older than your NE4 -- doing so will cause a hard brick.
You did mean i747 instead of 747i, didn't you?
Odin is designed to not flash any stock rom that would install a bootloader than the one on your phone. this is to save you from hard bricking your phone. Since you are on 4.4.2, any stock rom in a .tar.md5 format has an older bootloader than your NE4. As far as I know, the only stock NE4 rom on the forums is in a .zip format for flashing from recovery, it was posted by enewman17. (The thread audit13 linked.) If you tried to flash an older bootloader and baseband package through recovery you will probably hardbrick the phone.
Otherwise, there are roms based on TW in the forums: S3Rx, TMS3KK, Likewise, and others. Some use the stock kernel, others give you an option from their Aroma install. The iBubbler's kernel in a couple of these roms is reported to be excellent.
I'm guessing you pulled your S5 apk from either the S3Rx or Likewise thread.
I appreciate everyones feedback and guideance. Yeah I meant i747. It gets pretty easy to misread something when all you've been doing was researching roms and guides. And now its back to researching and finding one of the roms you mentioned. Much appreciated everyone I hope u all have a blessed day..
i know this a zip , but maybe could find help in the thread.
