You still have M919 bootloader, so just flash a recovery with Odin
Edit: the only thing that you updated to 5.0 is the system and kernel

Was running stock knox free 4.3 rom and was trying to flash another rom ,because 4.3 stock was giving me horible battery life ,but by accident everything got deleted and didnt have no backup Odin says failed(auth).I can go to download mode and recovery mode also.
also I am running the tmobile s3
Firmware us flased in Odin.
Roms in recovery.
If you've fully updated to 4.3 fw, you can no longer odin flash any earlier builds.
So I can only flash same 4.3 now ? No older roms?

You got it. Do not try older Stock roms. There lies a Brick!
Thank you both.That sucks since the battery life is very bad.Other than that everything else works great.Hope someone will come up with a solution to flash the older roms again.
For improving Battery, follow the suggestions in this thread and do this mod.
Hey guys,
I'm trying to go back to a stock Touchwiz ROM from CyanogenMod 10.2. My only problem is, I can't Odin back to a stock from because the only Odin compatible file I have is 4.1.1 which my phone will no longer go to since my baseband was updated after trying a former 4.3 ROM.
Can anyone link me to a 4.3 ROM that I can flash in Odin? I'm asking because most of the ROM's I'm finding that are 4.3 require you to be on a TW ROM before flashing their ROM. Thanks.

This link is useless for me as it does not have a 4.3 stock rom listed in their official firmwares. They have only up to 4.1.2 which I cannot Odin back to since my baseband was already updated.

|ROM|Bootloader|Kernel|Modem| AT&T Official 4.3 MJB |24 Nov 2013| There you go all stock. make sure you hit the thanks button for everyone (not my files I just found them)
You cant flash this in odin but can use TWRP or CWM. will get you back all stock. Good luck...

Do I have to be on a stock rom to use this? I'm currently on Quantum V3 and I don't have access to a stock rom to revert to since my baseband was updated.

No you don't have to be on the stock rom to use that, but the bootloaders are for 4.3 so if you haven't updated yet this will update you.
You can flash any rom you want to as long as you do not mess with the bootloader you will be OK. I do not know if this work on anything besides an at&t phone using it on anything else is done so at your own risk just the same as using it.
What about the recovery? any way to get a stock recovery image?
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.
Hey guys ive gitten up to the point now where im rooted running cwms latest touch recovery. I need to upgrade my bootloader in order to flash any 4.3+ roms. Can someone help me with this process. Can I just flash the latest bootloader or can I flash a rooted 4.3 rom and flash the new bootloader after? Kinda stuck at the moment with the stock rooted 4.1.2 rom running latest cwm touch recovery.

I posted a link to help you in your other post
The link you posted leads to a rom thread. Is there something specific in there I should be looking for. The one you lead me to talks of downgrading not upgrading
Ive been searching for awhile now but at work is my only time to do so and time is limited.. I am searching for a rom to run with ucdmg2 bootloader. I'm not really feeling up to updating the bootloader using odin.

Do you have a custom recovery installed?
You didn't say, but I can infer that you have an i747 and not an i747M based on the MG2 bootloader.
Without a custom recovery you are stuck using Odin to get a custom recovery in order to flash anything other than a stock rom. There are recovery flashable bootloader and modem files for 4.3 and newer bootloaders and modems.
With the 4.1.2 bootlaoder and modem you could run Jellybean roms from CM ( CM10.x ) or those based on CM or AOSP. There may be a few AOSP bassed on KitKat you could use, but it would probably be a version that is more than a year and a half old. Anything newer will need a 4.4.2 bootloader.
