Hello community, I have looked for the stock Samsung s3 I747 AT&T firmware. I have found it but its a download from Hotfile, which has been shut down. I was wondering if the android forums could provide me with the Stock firmware? I plan on using Odin3 in installing the firmware. This is why I am wanting to do this, it appears I am stuck on edge network. I have manually set the phone to use 4g and 3g it still reverts back to edge. This occurred after I updated to 4.3, so my plan is to install stock firmware and re-do the 4.3 update maybe something went wrong somewhere during the update. If you have other suggestions other than trying to install the initial stock firmware, I am open to anything.

You'll have to have a look in development. Since you already took the 4.3 update, you can no longer "start with stock and redo the update". You will hard brick. AT&T was not nice enough to provide an ODIN flashable 4.3 rom. In development or general is a custom recovery flashable ROM that should help you out, but that is assuming you have a rooted and custom recovery phone. If not, there should be someone along to help.

Re-installing the stock update probably wouldn't help me anyhow. This phone has had a IMEI repair, assuming this is the problem now.
The phone, after a re-boot will do 4g, well at least it shows the 4g emblem, then shortly after it will go to edge. Some people I talked to said it could be a weak antenna or some other hardware issue. I think it has to do with the IMEI repair! Well I guess this phone is garbage, its a shame, it looks brand new, my fault for going the craigslist route
When you say IMEI repair, you mean the IMEI was injected into the phone using NV writer?

Yes. I did not do this myself.
However, I did find another program well actually two programs, QCN Generator and DanX which I created a back up and injected the IMEI number into my back up QCN bin myself. With no luck I am still a 2g AT&T user.
I am thinking that the original QCN back up (the initial) was corrupted or something.
Is there anyway to rebuild a QCN? lets say, someone has a back up of a Sammy g3, and I injected my IMEI to a spare QCN. Does that make any sense? sorry still learning, I have learned this with in 24hrs, I am a Xbox 360 Rooter, not an android guru.
I bought the phone from craigslist, which was a bad idea in the first place. So I am now stuck with this paper weight, I have managed to get this phone in at least a working state. I wish to get 3 or 4g back on the phone. I can re-boot it will show 4g with 3 bars then will drop to one and go back up to 3 bars, then drop to 2,1 then it will then automatically switch to edge. I know this is a 4g area, maybe not LTE, but 4g. I have changed APN settings, also manually set the phone to GSM and WCMDA, Still working on it.
So to start I went from my s3 to the Z2 when it first came out. I am with bell and for some reason they are not supporting updates and my Z2 is ridiculously glitchy, i'm looking to update the firmware and expect to take sometime to do this and i dont like downtime. Due to some legal reasons my old s3 was confiscated... so i picked up an S3 off kijiji. Unknown carrier but still I747M. I rooted, unlocked and ran cm on my old s3 so i figured i would give this one a rip and see what had come out.
Without thinking i found slimkat and rooted and updated to 4.4.4. Great rom, kind of glitchy, but smooth.
And then i through my sim in... didn't work. So i started trying to unlock it. And my quest begins
I have CM11 boot
I tried the easy modem dialer fix. didnt work
I tried the sim generator, couldn't find my nv data bin file
I then tried downgrading to 4.3 and 4.1.1 stock roms and also mod roms didn't work. Got them off of sammobile and also xda as the sammoblie one didn't work.
What are my options? should i just put this s3 back into the realm of kijiji?
Any help would be appreciated
Hey guys,
I really hope someone will be able to help me out.
I will try and provide as much information as possible.
I own an D855 bought from Germany. The phone originally came with the stock rom 4.4 I believe. I had rooted the phone using purple drake. few days ago I update the phone to 5.0 Lollipop, the official version rolled out by LG.
I lost the root after update and didn't re-root. Today during work my phone had gone into a boot loop (Logo->restart->logo-Restart). I though "okay that's fine , when I get home I'll look into the unbrick methods and fix this easily" Wrong.
I tried using the instructions provided by the user zedomax on youtu "How to Unroot/Unbrick LG G3!"
Downloaded all the drivers and the LG g3 Flash tool. Also downloaded a European stock rom. I got to around the 6:35 mark on the video, removed the cable and replugged it. Then the phone just shutdown and started a boot loop again. The boot loop had now changed to Logo->Firmware update page->restart->logo->firmware update page->restart.
Now I can't put the phone into firmware update mode anymore and I am really scared the phone is hard bricked. What is the next thing I can try?
I am offering a 60€ bounty to whoever has a fix for this.
I can also try taking a video of the boot loop if that would be of any help.
If I would try and RMA the phone, does anyone know would there be any sign of rooting. I had previously had the phone rooted on the official 4.4 build (using purple drake) and then I updated to 5.0, but didn't root.

i have same problem with g3 f400
please help me
Please bare with me as I am only 15 and know little to nothing about Android as I have been a Apple user my whole life. For Christmas my parents ordered me a used unlocked AT&T LG Optimus G Pro off of eBay and I am using it with NET10. I really, really want to upgrade it from Jelly bean to Kit Kat or whatever the new operating system is but every time I do it tells me I can't because it says ". I have downloaded the This device is suspected of rooting. Software update is not available for rooted device. app, Super SU which has the option to do a " Full Unroot". If I do this will this fix the problem and let me update my phone without locking it back to AT&T or bricking it? I am really worried about this, and locking my phone back to AT&T. When I first got the phone it would not even give me the option to update since the update comes from AT&T servers so I put an un-registered AT&T sim in my phone temporarily and every since it has gave me the option to update.
you dont need the official firmware to upgrade this, check out the android development section and look for the roms.
also there s a guide around in the general section, how to flash a rom and do some stuff like rooting, recovery flashing etc.
you should bear yourself to read as much as possible. it s easier than you think even if it looks dangerous and so on. if u re going to unroot your device, that s fine but think about other possibilities if u dont unroot the device
edit: i assume u re alrwady rooted and have a custom recovery inside. DO NOT UPGRADE WITH LG OFFICIAL FIRMWARES or you brick your device.

I foolishly went to root my T-Mobile note 5 with out reading the entire forum now I'm bricked at the load screen I got past the Sean root deal by what I thought was doing by installing the stock kernel and ROM with Odin but now the phone is giving me a different message at the galaxy load screen about the kernel.... Is there a working root yet for T-Mobile version or anyone know how to return the phone back to stock. Remember please I know a bit about rooting and custom Roms but it's been a while since last phone I rooted was a LG 3D like 8 years ago lol so I'm just now getting back at it so go easy on me lol.
Sorry guys just noticed this is Att post my bad
