I've been serching for an answer for a while and can't seem to find a proper one that makes sure that I won't brick my phone. I've been flashing roms since 2011 and know pretty much the drill but lately I've been flashing at a couple months interval CM11 m builds and since I don't follow the threads like I used to, I feel like I'm missing out on how to do the right procedure.
So this is my phone:
Rogers i747 SG3
Cm11 4.4.4
Bootloader: I747MVLUEMK5
Baseband: I747MUMUEND3
I've installed these about a month and a half ago and since I've lost LTE networking but I didn't care to try to fix since I don't use it that much and left it like that.
This morning, I tried flashing MJB bootloader and modem zip in recovery but it gives me the classic error 7
Any Idea how to get out of this impasse? I've been searching all morning and can't find what I'm looking for...
I see you're in Montreal. Do you have the AT&T version of the s3; i.e. i747?
Your bootloader (MJB - 4.3 AT&T) and modem (ND3 - Telcel) appear to be mismatched. Maybe this is causing the loss of LTE connections.
What recovery are you using? Is it up to date?

I use Clockworkmod recovery 6.0.4.7 The latest version and Its an at&t i747 phone but with Rogers(same thing).
Is there other basebands or bootloaders I can maybe update with?
Sorry, I made a mistake. Your bootloader matches the modem for am i747m from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898
Boot into download mode and look at the model number at the top.
Cool yeah it is a i747m you're right.
Once I install the latest (canadian) firmware, does that give me the possibility to flash mjb and the Ne4 to have access to the latest cm roms without any trouble? Not sure if i understand everything here...
Do not flash any firmware not specifically designed for the i747m. The mjb bootloader is for the i747 and flashing that on your phone would probably brick it.

Well thanks for the link. I updated my firmware and played with the apn and now the LTE works again and hitting an 80 mb download... pretty crazy.
So are you saying that a i747m would not be able to flash cm12(lollipop) which states in the nightly thread that it needs a NE4 bootloader/modem?!
You can determine which bootloaders are supported by CM12 by downloading CM12 and looking at the updater script in Notepad. The first few lines will list the supported bootloaders.
The latest stock firmware for the i747m can be found at sammobile.com. This firmware is flashable in Odin and would include the bootloader, modem, and the dreaded Knox.

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
CSC: I747MOYCFNE6, MODEM: I747MVLUFNE6

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.

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?

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.

WARNING!!!!
Do not flash a 4.4.2 modem if you are running 4.3 firmware (bootloaders)!!!!
This will cause a permanent hard-brick!!! There is no fix!!!
The only reason anyone should need to flash one of these is if they had flashed a 4.3 or earlier modem for whatever reason. Once updated to 4.4.2 firmware, ONLY that matching modem will work. Flashing anything else will result in no signal and most likely an "Unknown" baseband and IMEI. If you flashed an older modem, you will need to flash back to the 4.4.2 one and these will all come back.
This has happened a number of times already, and continues to happen still. So I figured I would put them in a separate thread to make them easier to find.
Flash from the recovery of your choice, or Mobile Odin. The updater-script for these includes an assert that should prevent flashing on anything that does not have the correct bootloader.
Full Disclosure: I do not have an I747 or I747M, and as such, I am unable to test any of these. I have full confidence they will work as expected though. (I have been doing the modems for the T999 for a couple of years now). Still, you should know they are currently untested.

You probably never updated your firmware to 4.4.2.
To know for sure open terminal emulator and enter this.
getprop ro.bootloader
If it says MJB, you haven't updated your firmware yet and flashing this modem would permanently break your phone. If it is MJB, flash the same firmware via Odin and factory reset. That often fixes the imei problem. If it does not, pm me for further help with it. Can't post those instructions here.

Thanks for keeping the support for this phone going. I have the latest bootloader ..uemk5 for my Rogers sghI747m.
I tried to flash this and got a status 7.
I have been using the ..UEND3 Modem up till now.
You need to update first or this modem would permanently brick your device. MK5 is a 4.3 build. I think the latest Rogers is NF2. You cannot flash this modem unless you've already updated. And then you won't need this. I released these because some mistakenly flash the older 4.3 modems after updating and find it won't work, so they needed a way back.

No Cell data after root and new rom and recovery.
Hi,
This is a repost from the S3 help forum as the OP here seems very knowledgeable about modems and bootloaders. Excuse the redundancy.
I was given a used ATT I747 s3 which had stock 4.3 , modem/bootloader mjb, and knox. I rooted, removed knox and installed slim 4.4.4 rom, lean 4.4.4 kernel and latest philz recovery. All running ok
including cell calls to/from phone, mms, apps and wifi data. Same modem/bootloader (MJB), IMEI accurate after upgrade. However ATT cellular data will not connect and or transmit and/or receive using att, phone or lte APN.
Any help/thoughts appreciated?
Could be the rom. I've been hearing about a lot of connection issues on cm/aosp based roms lately. Try flashing back to stock to see if it works.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Nevermind I re read. Did it work before you installed lean kernel?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using XDA Free mobile app
In my upgrade process, the first thing I did, after the recovery had been updated to Philz, was install slim rom and lean kernel together and at the same time. That was when the problems began. They went away when I reinstalled slim rom only (without lean kernel). Everything now ok. Hope that helps.
I'll start by saying I'm very much a noob but read and read as much as I can and have been following quite closely a lot of the s3 development so anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
It seems in the past few months a lot has changed with kernels and compatibility has broken numerous times. If the dates of the releases of kernel and Rom aren't quite close then some commits in the rom could break data, wifi, etc. If your running the latest nightly Rom make sure your using a recent kernel. Always just make a backup before flashing custom kernel and then you can revert right back if the kernel breaks anything.
Hope that helps...

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.

Which variant of the galaxy s3 do you have? You should be able to flash any ROM compatible with your phone using TWRP or Phil touch recovery.
I have the i747m (rogers canada). I have TWRP 2.8.7.0 & rooted with Kingo root. Somehow it was the only way to root it. Tried Towel root & odin but both were doing nothing.
TWRP was installed a long time ago. I recently made an update on kies (what a mistake sign...). I was on 4.4.2 before and after the firmware update on kies.
I got a spare S3 motherboard (with cpu etc.) I might try on that one first but I need to disassemble & assemble everything... not very tempting.
I usually just use odin and http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ to start fresh and root again when I want to upgrade bootloader and modems.
As you saw at sammobile, OB3 is the latest official release for the i747. You do not need to do anything to your baseband (modem) to run CM11. You may want to verify that your bootloader (firmware) matches the modem. This can be done from within TWRP. Go to the advanced menu and in the terminal enter
Code:
getprop ro.bootloader
You should get a return ending in OB3.
I suspect the CM 11 updater-script has not been updated to account for the just released OB3 firmware. If that is the case, you could always edit the script in the roms zip file.
@dawgdoc
When I entered the command, it returned me:
I747MVLUFOB3
Secondly, I have not tried to install CM11 (or the newer version CM12?). I do not know if it works. I just want to make sure I can flash and not brick my phone.
My phone is not the d2att (i747), it is d2can (i747m). I believe these two are very similar but enough different to cause problem.
So, can I install CM11 or 12?
You are talking about changing a zip file... The newb I am know how to do that, but what exactly - that he doesn't know. So I would rather not mess with that. I guess TWRP checks if the firmware of the bootloader / modem matches to those from a compatible list and simply updating that list would allow me to install the build?
I was thinking about this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/development/unofficial-cyanogenmod-12-t2968854
Don't know the exact difference with the CM12 but it says d2can.
However, the BaNkS GAPPS - GAPPS link does not work... I don't know what that is.

The unofficial CM12 -5.1.1 by @matrixzone is good for the i747M, aka d2can. If you have any doubts, ask on that thread if it is updated to run on OB3? Matrixzone is active on the forums and should respond to your question. Also I just checked the updater-script for the latest CM11 official nightly and it is set up to run on the i747M.
So, either should run with no problems for you.

If your device is stock the simplest solution would be to take the OTAs until you are at the most recent stock rom (NJ2).
If you are not stock you could revert to stock and take the OTAs. You also have other options. Since you have the i747 you should update sequentially, not skipping any of the releases, if you are on the 4.3 or newer bootloader and modem. (I have read this is not necessary for the i747M.) If you have a custom recovery installed you could use it to load the bootloader and modem files, in order, and then flash a compatible custom ROM. The downloads for the bootloader and modem files are available in threads by enewman17.
I haven't been specific, but then for anyone helping to be specific detailed information is needed.

I'm running CM 12.1 on my phone, and I believe there is even a CM 6.0 ROM out there... I also have the I747
right now from what I can see depending on what model you have the highest I can see is
4.4.2
Model SGH-I747M
Model name GALAXY S III
PDA I747MVLUFOB3
CSC I747MOYCFOB3
If the OP has the i747, nj2 is the newest stock ROM.
