Does anyone know if the stock ROM is available yet to flash through odin
There is no NJ1 odin file nor will there be unless one of the developers manually makes one. At&t only released it over the air.

ok so i know there are several threads about it but i want it to be clear for me and anyone else that has questions.... i know i posted multiple times but those threads are wanting custom recoveries...
i have the MJB firmware and am wanting to update to the FNE4 firmware....What zip package can be used on the E3 aka stock recovery and stock rom without any custom flashing at all.
i don't want to flash a custom recovery due to warranty.....so which zip floating around can update the phone...
i tried the ota and it failed for unknown reasons multiple times and would just like to flash in recovery....
The only ota that's flashable from stock recovery is going to be identical to the one that failed when you tried to use the software update.
Odin flash 4.3 firmware, factory reset and try again.
OK but is there one that's flashable is my question?

Not a problem! Better safe than sorry! I know it can get confusing with so much different information in each thread!
I was able to restore to 4.3 MJA and then use the OTA download (renamed to update.zip) from the other thread here and used stock recovery to update.
Just a note: Once you update you can downgrade to 4.3 but you need to use the NE4 modem from here on out. Older modem firmware will result in the device getting no signal.

so restoring mjb on top of fne4 WONT result in a brick?
Sent from my ATT Samsung Galaxy SIII using TapaTalk
I Odin'd 4.3 on top of NE4 (with NE4 bootloader and NE4 modem). Did not brick.
The only issue I had was that I need NE4 modem to get a signal on the NE4 bootloader (bootloader won't downgrade)
Unfortunately I didn't fine an NE4 modem zip around here yet so I updated back to NE4 to get the new modem and my signal. Rooted NE4 /w towelroot and then installed a rom of my choice.
So now I have the NE4 bootloader + modem and a kitkat rom of my choice.

someone please link me to it ?
If you need to ask, I strongly recommend to have your carrier do it. If you are under warranty and they screw it up, even better.

good luck. make backup. read.

If you are sure you have the i747m and not the i747, you can flash the 4.4.2 ROM from sammobile.com using Odin.
yup its a i747m..but still anyway to confirm it ?
What baseband and bootloader is on your phone?
android 4.1.1 i747m baseband-i747mvldlk4..so whats the safest method now to go to 4.4 ?
Flash back to stock LK4 using firmware from sammobile.com and run OTA updates to 4.4.2.
any other alternatives ? my phones already rooted/custom recovery installed..also i would prefer a custom 4.4.2 touchwiz rom ?
cant i straight away download the stock firmware from sammobile 4.4.2 for i747m & update manually via odin ?

You can. I suggested starting with 4.1.1 because it's easier to revive the phone if something goes wrong when flashing 4.1.1 in Odin. If something goes wrong when flashing 4.4.2, it could be harder to unbrick.
Long story short soft bricked my phone a few days ago. i was told that flashing a new rom through odin would do the trick but I cant simply flash the stock 4.4.2. Mostly on the account that Samsung issued 4.3 and 4.4 OTA. And when I do come across a rom chances are its flashable zip through a recovery, which is what I dont need, as my phone is not turning on. I mean since I am at 4.4.2 I cant find the stock firmware online. I mean seriously I know theres a devloper out there who has a 4.4.2 rom in the tar.md5. Custom rom or not makes absolutely no difference to me.
Thanks in advance and much appreciated to anyone with advice
Your phone is not turning on? If it doesn't turn on, there's no way to flash a ROM.
So where can I get I747m 4.4.2 stock firmware in zip format? I have downloaded stock firmwares from different sites but they are all in tar.md5 format. I need one that works with sp flash tool.

There is no zip format for the stock ROMs AFAIK.
There is a stock 4.4.2 rom available for i747, Odin flashable. If you can get into download mode.
I need a ROM that's flashable with sp flash tool as my phone is hard bricked and I am trying to revive it.

I'm currently on MJB and I'm looking to update my bootloader/modem combo to the NE4, but before doing so I'd like to have on hand a stock NE4 Rom to fall back on if needed (since I can't use the stock MJB one that I have at that point).
I've been looking around but can't seem to find a Stock NE4 file. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you.

There is no stock NE4 firmware because AT&T never released it and was only available via OTA updates.

Is there a stock NJ1?
I guess what I'm trying to get at is how far can I go updating and still have a safe way of recovering to stock if anything were to go wrong?
(I used to flash LK3 stock when I'd run into problems and just go from there, but I understand with these you cannot downgrade or it'll brick)

"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
There is no stock AT&T ROM beyond LK3. Once you are on mjb, you can only flash stock ROMs that have been specifically compiled for flashing via Odin or TWRP/CWM.
If you want to revert back to stock from a custom ROM, look for stock flashable ROM on the general section of the i747 forum.
Long story short I've done this a million times even wrote a how to on how to update metro m919n to 4.4.2 back in the day before the m919n kit kat was released .
As crazy as it sounds now I can't figure the simplest of simple out.
So my situation is I'm using a Metro pcs s4 m919n literally same as m919.
I got it on 4.3 mk5
I rooted it before I updated to 4.4.4.
I decided I wanted 4.4.4 latest available but now NOT 1 single Odin tar I try works.
Fails at about 98% after system.img flashes.
I believe the problem is I'm not finding the correct Full Tar file . I know I can do one of two ways find the official Metro tar or use Tmobile tar But I can't seem to jump from 4.3 mk5 to 4.4.2 or 4.4.4
I've even removed .md5 which is noted to try .
I need the best solution /link or whatever to get to stock 4.3 so I can take the OTA.
Or just jump to 4.4.4 with Odin .
Anyone have a idea what I'm doing wrong or a credible correct Link to the right Odin 4.3 mk5 tar file or 4.4.4 tar?
Being metro m919n or m919.
Every one I find is a terafile link or rapid gator link full of SPAM.
NOTE: I've even tried Shinyside Mega links under general I've tried
Mk2
NH7
AND NB4
I get invalid .md5 And immediately fails
If i remove .md5 and use .tar
It starts to flash then fails after about 98% just after system.img is finishing up
And I believe them aren't just minor ota updates they should be the firt official releases of kit kat from Jb and should work .
Mk2 should defiantly work if it's the Very first jb OTA.
Any help ?

The full tars are are at: http://www.sammobile.com/ .
When u link me to Sammobile. . You mean they are the only ones that have the full tars ..I still want to know why what I've been doing is failing ... is there a difference between these tars and Sammobile tars.
I should have been able to accomplish the Unroot via these tars posted By Shinyside correct me if I'm wrong ?
And I see that sammobile posts m919n tar files but says the carrier to be Tmobile. Why not metro pcs?
So if i use NK2 TAR Will my phone boot as a Metro boot screen or Tmobile .
Regardless of the two devices still we should be able to flash m919 tars on metro s4 I know I have done so for a fact.
This time (A Yr later ) nothing seems to work it's just which one do I need is the question
