I bought a SGH-i747 Unlocked for use with MetroPOS. All I wanted was to have it hotspot and for the svoice to speak with a UK English accent which it didn't come with. While attempting to force update to hopefully have these problems fixed I ended up boot looping. To temporary fix to use my phone I tried installing CM Rom to no avail. Even thogh the model is ATT and the boot screen was att, it said it only works with d2spr. Currently I'm running MUI which was the only one I could get to work. Can anybody link me to restore to my stock 4.2.2 because odin fails and roms don't seem to work unless they are a specific type of d2spr?
You need ROMs for the d2lte if you have an i747. The d2spr is the cdma sprint version of the s3 .
What error are you getting in Odin? What was the last i747 bootloader on your phone?
You will have to flash a odin file to go back to stock, what odin version are you using and what are you flashing? You won't be able to flash any d2sprt because of the boot partition alone(different kernel).

So, I'm not a complete noob to flashing roms/rooting devices. I flashed cm 11 to my s3, and decided I wanted to go back to stock via Odin. For some reason when I tried to turn on my device it was still showing the cm 11 splash screen and wouldn't proceed any further. It isn't technically bricked. I guess this would be classified as a boot loop to the nth degree. I tired to boot in recovery mode and wipe the cache partition and all user data to the same cm 11 robot taunting me. When I tried the process (flashing stock vi Odin) again to possibly fix whatever might have been a miss, I got the error message on the download screen "secure check fail: sb12." On the download mode screen it also says I am running the official system rom. I don't know what steps I need to take from here to get my phone to actually boot via the stock rom. Has anybody else had this issue or similar? Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
Is your phone a i747? If you are you running a stock 4.3 bootloader on your i747, you can't use Odin to flash back to stock unless the ROM was specifically designed to be flashed in Odin.
What is shown on the screen in download mode?

I was under the impression the rom I was attempting to flash was indeed intended for Odin. It is the SGH-I747.
The download screen states,
Product Name: SGH-I747
Custom Binary: Custom
System Status: Official
Qualcom Secure Boot: Enable
Warranty Bit: 1
Bootloader AP SWERV: 2
Here is an added bit of fun, in the midst of the process I accidentally checked "Nand erase all," in Odin at one point.
Based on the information provided, your phone is running a stock ATT 4.3 bootloader. The CM11 splash screen is still showing up because the flash did not actually happen. You're lucky your phone was not bricked in the process of using Odin. I recommend not using Odin to flash a ROM that tries to alter the bootloader.
I recommend flashing a custom recovery such as Philz Touch in Odin and flashing a different KK ROM such as Valudis.

My next question would be how can I move the zip files I download to the internal storage of my phone to flash them through Philz Touch?

I did. It said the the device couldn't be updated, or something to that effect.
Kies will not work without a stock recovery or a rooted phone from my experience.
I would be surprised if kies can restore your phone as ATT never released a full 4.3 stock ROM. ATT only made 4.3 available via an OTA update.

I don't know about AT&T, but I'm on Telus in Canada and I used kies to revert back to stock 4.3 with CWM recovery and phone rooted, and it worked no problem.

So, I know there is a "thanks," button but I feel like that would be a little too informal for how much I appreciate your help! I downloaded ADB to move the rom (I went with AOKP because it was the first one that worked) to my phone, flashed it using TWRP and...BAM! We are back in business. Thanks for the direction, I thought I had a nice, new, shiny brick on my hands for about two days.

Canadian carriers use the i747m while att users get the i747.
The Canadian carriers did release a full 4.3 ROM unlike att who did not.
I have an s3, it's broken from what i can tell, it sometimes rings someties outs out calls but it's not fuctioing correcyl. It was completely stock.
Its a rogers i7147m on 4.42 I factory rest it, still not working properly so I tried to use old FW only to realize after i soft bricked it the knox must have locked the bootloader.
I install a Verizon rom (the only one that seemed to work in Odin) and it booted without wifi, I then reinstalled an AT&T FW for specifically for teh i747m and it booted no WIFI I then installed a rooted Rogers i747m via CWR and it wouldn't boot I then tried the rooted FW with Knox and it worked BUT no WIFI, I would at least liek to get wifi on this and use it as a mini tablet,
now I want to try to revert it to a non rooted Rogers to get it all back to normal, the only way i can get a rom into this is via CWM odim fails on boot and all the roms I download are in zip and within them an MD5 which CWM doesn't let me install.
Anytips? I have the stock rom ready to go but it's in odin format
What can i do? And is the wifi issue a kernal issue? how can i at least resolve the wifi problem.
Thanks

Although this area is for the i9300 s3 I would think installing a Verizon rom on a at&t phone is the cause of all your issues I would think.
Sounds like the efs may be corrupt. Either was this is the wrong section for you. Flashing anything here will brick it.
I will ask a mod to move it.
Also you need a rom zip to flash through CWM

Rogers SGH-i747 is nearly identical to AT&T's SGH-i747 - as a matter of fact, I believe they can still use each others' ROMs.
So this is the right spot for it to be.
Look for a d2lte common CWM or a d2att version and you should be okay.

I am an international user lol so I have no knowledge of US phones lol but good to know.
Hello I would appreciate any help with my device. The problem I am having is I can flash no touchwiz roms such as slimbean and CM11 but cannot flash stock non touchwiz roms. I would like to get wifi calling running but my phone just wont flash those roms. I am using the latest TWRP and my original rom was a 4.2.2 rom but it did not have the wifi calling option. I first encountered my problem when I got the phone and tried to root it and install a custom 4.4.2 rom. The flash failed and from there I was stuck on the Samsung logo. I tried to odin back to stock with the nb4, mk2 and mdl images but odin wil not let me flash it I get nand Write start FAIL error. Tried different odin's, cables, ports and still no go. I know I must be missing something but I have searched and searched and every post says it should be working. Please help.
current baseband M919UVUAMB2
current rom slimbean 4.4.4
What is the fail message when flashing the rom in recovery?
Are you sure you have a M919, and not a M919V phone?

Your device is not really a m919....and honestly only mb2 firmware I've ever heard of was actually for the s3 not the s4...there's a bunch of these weird ass devices going around. Both m919 and i9505's. Let me guess you bought it on the Internet?
Thank You all as you suspected the phone was a fake luckily the seller is taking it back.
Ive unrooted my phone via the super user app but I still have the Liquid Smooth ROM. From everything I read I was under the impression it would reboot completely stock
How do get it back to stock ROM!? I have been searching everywhere and nothing?
I want to get my OTA updates as I haven't used this phone since last year. I don't have access to a computer as NY charger bit the dust and I'm working the next 2 weeks in a remote location with no WiFi (I have data though)
Can any on help me, I'm slightly desperate as this Liquid Smooth ROM lags horrible, reboots if I try to use the front camera (in any app!) and is missing a lot of simple stock features like the messaging app lol,
Oy what have I done am I stuck with this or is there a way to reroot without a PC so I can flash a stock ROM?!
I'm assuming you have the i747 from AT&T.
Unrooting simply removes your administrator access to system files and apps that need root access to be fully functional, that's all.
What bootloader is on your phone? If the phone has a 4.1.2 bootloader or lower, the easiest way to get back to stock would be to flash a stock AT&T ROM from sammobile. com using Odin and I recommend living with the phone in its current state until your get access to a PC and charger.
If your bootloader is 4.3 or higher, you cannot flash a stock AT&T ROM using Odin because AT&T naver released a full ROM that can be flashed that way. You'll confirm your bootloader and follow the appropriate thread to get as close to stock as possible.
I keep mentioning the bootloader because flashing the wrong bootloader/modem combination could hard brick your phone.

I attached an image does that help as far as boot loader goes? I'm not sure how to check it. I have the I747M on virgin mobile Canada. Att ROMs have usually worked perfectly. So if my boot loader is compatible I can flash a stock ROM with Odin without rerooting?
Since you have an i747m, the safest and easiest way to restore to completely stock would be to wait until you can flash a stock 4.3 ROM via Odin. Do not attempt to flash anything older than 4.3.
Custom AT&T ROMs will work on your i747m but I don't recommend using stock AT&T ROMs on an i747m. Also, do not flash AT&T modems or bootloaders onto an i747m as this will probably brick your phone.

Okay that first part sounds simple enough for me.
But what would be a preferable stock ROM to flash if not ATT (assuming you say this because my phone is Virgin Mobile Canada) If I remember correctly I had flashed a ATT stock ROM a long time ago and ended up with no service and security issues that I eventually fixed but were a pain in the arse to figure out. I don't know if I've ever come across a Virgin Mobile ROM. I believe they are a sub company of Bell btw.
Go to sammobile.com and flash any mk5 firmware you want for the i747m. You can choose from Rogers, Bell, and Telus.
I have cross-flashed a Rogers ROM onto a Telus Phone and a Telus ROM onto a Bell phone.
Based on my own experience, all i747m ROMs for Canadian carriers appear to be the same except for carrier customisations.

Okay! Perfect this is a lot more straight forward than I anticipated, thank you SO much!!
When flashing the ROM with Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time. When the flash is complete, you will see the word "reset" in the status window. When you see reset, remove the USB cable, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery, and wipe cache, data, Dalvik, and reboot.
I have a Samsung S3 AT&T version, SGH-i747. The phone is rooted and I have the ROM backed up using CWM.
Can I flash this phone with the stock T-Mobile ROM version without any issues (I believe it is T999?).
My goal is to get wifi calling which doesn't come with the ATT model and from what I've read, if I can install the T-Mobile stock ROM or a custom version of it, it will come the wifi calling capability.
Thanks
Hi,
According to my experience, I would say NO.
But you can try it. And if it doent work, revert back to your ROM
By the way I am using custom ROM too on ATT phone.
It may be a matter of semantics, but do not install the stock T-mobile rom. Stock implies you will also be flashing the bootloader and modem. Installing the T999 bootloader and modem on the i747 will brick it. Anything from Sammobile would flash bootloader and modem.
Now, I have seen a number of CM, AOSP, and custom TouchWiz (based on Stock Samsung) ROMs for the i747 that will run on the T999. I would think the reverse would hold true, the T999 ROMs running on the i747. AS LONG AS they do not flash bootloader and modem. BE ADVISED, I have not searched the T999 threads to verify this conjecture. Some doubt enters my mind as I recall that T999 ROMs support AWS while i747 ROMs do not, this may break running them on the i747.
The T999 roms should run fine for the most part. It's safe to flash one to try, just DO NOT flash the firmware as mentioned above.
As for WiFi calling, don't get your hopes up. If I'm not mistaken it's tied into the modem (part of the firmware you cannot flash). So unless you have a T999, WiFi calling won't work.
