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.

As you'll soon discover, I'm a noob. I stupidly took the OTA update on my Samsung Galaxy S3 T-Mobile T999 from 4.1.2 to 4.3. Since doing so mine and my wife's phone (did the same thing to her also) gets in a mess after being connected to the car stereo bluetooth and prevents outgoing calls unless the phone is rebooted.
So to try to solve this, I rooted the phone and installed CM 11, so now I'm on 4.4.2. This didn't help the issue either and instead is worse at connecting to the bluetooth.
I want to get my phone back to the stock 4.1.2 rom, which I got from sammobile (PDA T999UVDMD5) or at worst back to the 4.3 stock rom (PDA T999UVUEMJC).
This morning I tried to flash T999UVDMD5_T999TMBDMD5_T999UVDMD5_HOME.tar using ODIN 307 but it failed almost instantly with an Fail! Auth message.
I also tried to flash CM 10.1 zip on my SD card using ClockworkMod Recovery v 6.0.4.5 but again it failed almost instantly (sorry I didn't take note of the error).
So now I'm back to CM 11. So any suggestions for how to get back to either of the stock roms?

If you are getting errors in both odin and cwm, it sounds like it is a root issue. In other words, it sounds like the apps are being denied access to root and therefor cannot flash. Both odin and cwm are able to generate logs so you can tell the reason for the fail. Personally, I would recommend flasing twrp recovery instead of cwm since it seems to simplify alot and is a little better for our device. Without knowing exactly why the flash is failing, i would just recommend to try and re-root the phone again.
Did you put the phone in Downloading mode before connecting to the Odin ?
Do not try to flash 4.1.2 ever. It will brick your phone.

Yes the phone was in downloading mode. I couldn't find any posts that thought that I would brick my phone for sure by downgrading so I thought I would try. Could I go back to the 4.3 Stock ROM with some degree of confidence?
Yes you can go back to 4.3 Stock.

So I'm now back to Stock 4.3 by doing a flash via Odin. I did (stupidly) try to then go back to 4.1.2 again using Odin having put the phone in USB debugging mode first but I still got the same Auth Fail error.
Thanks for all the help.

You cannot downgrade like that once you have updated to official 4.3 firmware, no offence but why would you try it even after Perseus said not to? Anyway if you want to go back to 4.1.2 so badly just download a 4.1.2 ROM and flash it in recovery

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll just quit while I'm only slightly behind now and remain on 4.3 Stock. I appreciate everyone's help and suggestions.
Downgrade from CM11 4.4.2 to 4.3 on I747
I went from 4.3 stock to CM11 on my i747 but i didnt like the update. So i am trying to go back to 4.3 however whenever i try to install the 4.3 zip file thru twrp or CWM, it fails. As far as i know there is no odin file for going back. I tried to flash rogers 4.3 file through odin (thinking i would flash at&t modem later) but that also failed.
I would appreciate any help on how to install 4.3 once 4.4.2 has been installed on an i747
You seriously need to do some reading

For One, you are on the wrong forum. This is for T-Mobile's S3 not AT&T. Second, Like @passtheknowledge said, you really need to do significant research and reading here on XDA.

I was up all night reading and trying all the suggestions that have been posted so far. Nothing worked. I would appreciate if someone can throw some light on what might be wrong.

Please Read through this Thread. For Future Reference, all Odin Files for S3 in general are looked up by unique Keyword Root66. That thread is the right place for you to post errors or issues. If there's no 4.3 image for your phone there, you can post a request as well.
For your immediate Problem, there is a an alternate ATT StockMod Rom by @saranhai Please see this thread. Pay particular attention to the mandatory requirement of flashing a particular modem beforehand.
Hello, I recently just updated my Rogers SGH-i317M to 4.3, which then downloaded a system update which put it at 4.4. I was running Jedi X20, which is based on 4.1.2, when I first tried updating, I flashed the "4.3param_tz" file in odin, and was left with an error screen saying I need to recover using Kies, so I downloaded the official release, flashed via odin, and thats how I got to where I am now. I want to try the "Ditto Note 3" rom, "Sky Note Air 4.3", "Mean Bean" and "Beanstalk". My main question is, can I just start flashing these roms like I was before on 4.1.2, or do I need to use the specific kernel listed on their page? Before you needed a specific kernel to run a touchwiz rom or an aosp rom, so is it still the same? Or can I use my stock 4.4 kernel and try both aosp and tw roms now? If so could you point out the kernels I would need? And educate me on anything else I should know about before flashing 4.3 and 4.4 roms, (I'm not worried about warranty), this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time in reading this and helping me out, much appreciated!!
Regardless of where u are, I'd Odin to Rogers stock KK 4.4.2. Then Odin Twrp recovery, boot into twrp recovery and flash SU v.1.99. Finally choose your rom and flash away. This way you are on the lastest KK 4.4.2 Bootloader and KK Modem/Baseband.

I did all that except flash SU 1.99, so I tried flashing SKynote Air and it didnt work, upon restarting my phone it said no os is available. So I tried restoring from the backup I made of the official 4.4.2 Samsung rom in twrp, didn't work. Tried Odin, didn't work. Then I tried flashing the Skynote rom again and it worked. So I'm afraid of flashing any other roms now.
Hello I want to back to the stock mod but I already build the kitkat.
Can I go back to stock mod? Please help me!
also I found this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2766242
but my phone is from at&t, can I install this?
please help me!
That is my Sprint port (StockMod kk) just repackaged for flashing in odin.
To your original question, if updated to kk firmware, you can still run all the roms as before. Just you can only use the 4.4.2 modem. Some 4.3 rom threads say to use the 4.3 modem, but ignore that if updated to the new firmware.
Thank you

Thank you! so I can not use this mod ;(
yesterday I tried to back to stock mod but my phone hard bricked ;(
I tried some of image flash thing so get back to normal phone but still don't have imei or data
*sigh* I have to find fix shop
If you have got the phone booting again you don't need a fix shop. The imei problem is probably due to flashing back to mjb modem. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53851558

Hi there, just registered to post this question regarding loading the Likewise 4.4.2 rom on tmobile galaxy s3. I cannot get it the rom to boot despite coming from android 4.3 and using TWRP. I have tried twice and both times the rom will not boot and I just get a black screen, forcing me to do another restore.
Does anyone have any advice? I will include a screenshot to show my current android version, which is what its supposed to be (4.3.) The only thing I've heard that causes problems with this rom is not being updated to 4.3, or not using TWRP. I don't know what is wrong here.
You need to update your firmware to 4.3. Your current rom has no bearing on this whatsoever.

Okay thanks. I feel like i may have done that already, back when i installed the unnofficial 4.3 software, but since the rom isnt booting maybe not.
On the xda page for the 4.3 firmware it says something about having to be stock/unmodified - is this true or can I flash the 4.3 firmware no matter what ROM I'm using.
Ypu can flash the firmware with odin regardless. You only have to be stock unmodified yo use the ota.
thanks got it working
I will do whatever it takes to see if my data is still there. Then I need to get my warranty replacement.
I have a completely stock Note II (AT&T SGH-i317) that I believe is at 4.3 Jelly Bean I317UCUBMK6 (or ***MJ4, I don't know the difference). OTA firmware updates have never worked for my phone since I took it out of the box. Samsung/AT&T have no download link to an official 4.3 that I could use with ODIN to reflash[?] my phone.
I have had connector and battery issues for a while and suddenly last week my phone just hung at the AT&T carrier screen when I turned it on. I tried recovery mode>clear the cache and rebooting to no avail. In recovery it had told me it was unable to mount the EFS. I also saw online that there were, in fact, old leaked roms (4.3) from before 4.3 was released. Can I "flash"[?] to one of these from 4.3 not-leaked official? Again, not trying to lose any data...
I also saw this thread and didn't know if it would help:

Thanks and I will seriously buy you a beer or other preferred beverage/donation if you can help.
Were you rooted when this happened or want to be rooted cuz if you download a stock att rom and flash though odin it should keep everything you have on there

That's the thing though--I attempted to use ODIN with the stock 4.1.2 ROM and it failed. Then I remembered I had 4.3 installed. I can't find a stock AT&T ROM for 4.3 anywhere!
