[Q] Root Failed and Need help Flashing Rom - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Our daughter deleted all of the pics on my wife's phone. She tried to use Dr. Fone, but someone told us that it failed because her phone wasn't rooted. So I tried to root it from this post on cnet:
It failed during the root. Now it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. Which I tried and also failed.
After a lot of heart ache and hours working on it, i have what a friend told me was the right tar file. I have attached the error in Odin.
When I run the tar file in Odin here is what the output screen shows:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

Then my phone screen show this:

Not really my area of expertise at all. Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks,

You cannot flash that tar file onto your phone. It is failing because that file is trying to downgrade the bootloader.
I recommend not flashing anymore files until you know the bootloader version of your phone.
I recommend you flash the latest Philz Touch custom recovery using desktop Odin from here:https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/
Use Philz to flash the latest CM11 and Gapps. Then install the Samsung Phone Info app from the play store to verify your bootloader.
Once you know your bootloader, let us know the version.

[Q] I can't tell if it's a soft brick or hard brick but..

I flashed to Stock with ODIN and it went successful then I downloaded the updated firmware version to flash through ODIN because it wouldn't update through KIES or from itself and half way through, it failed and now it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
It doesn't work through Kies, it just keeps trying to connect but no connection so I tried to flashing back to the old firmware through ODIN again and everything works successful until this part

I've tried everything but switch to a different computer to try it on, what do you guys think I should do?
How interesting, after hours and hours of stress, all I did was flash stock recovery through ODIN and now it rebooted fine

need help flashing rom from odin

was getting ready to go to CM10 and wanted to wipe everything on my phone. went through and erased all user data, cache, etc... however, i also wiped the system partition. now i dont have a new zip to flash to install the firmware again and i cant mount it to USB to transfer one. has anyone seen anywhere to get the CM roms in tar or md5 format so i can just flash them from odin?
any other ideas would also be appreciated.
found an at&t stock rom so far (im using rogers so dont know if that is causing this error) when i go to flash it i get:

[Q] i317M bricked. Can't flash. Recovery mode not working.

I updated my i317M (Telus) via OTA and the next day it rebooted and went into boot loop.
I've tried flashing the phone with 4 different stock roms (from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2) but they all fail.

Try flashing with odin again but before flashing open the tar and remove the bootloader out of it.
Hi, thanks for the reply cnote.
Would the bootloader be sboot.bin or boot.img or both?
thanks again
edit: or rather, how do you remove the bootloader and remake the tar file?

I believe it;s both. Just retrieve the tar file only.
sboot is the bootloader boot.img is the kernel .Have you tried the latest NH2 for your phone also maybe try using a pit file
The nh2 you will have to get from sammobile and the pit file can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2609871
Also after odin is finished go into factory recovery and do a factory reset or its just going to sit at the boot screen
flashing pit file also gives an error :S

[Q] "Firmware upgrade encountered an Issue" ODIN PROBLEMS

This was originally posted in the wrong forum. My apologies.
So after following this link: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-ro...ung-galaxy-s3/ I have a bricked device.
No matter what I do, Odin seems to fail. This is what I think caused the problem in the first place. Also there is the possibility that the guide is way out of date.
So I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to proceed? The device isnt mine and this isnt my first time rooting a device. I just have never bricked anything before.
Here is the log from ODIN from recreating the process in the link above

Do you have an i747 or u747m? Do not flash any more ROMs without knowing the bootloader version installed on your phone. If you phone has a 4.3 or newer bootloader and you try to downgrade it, it will brick your phone.
I recommend that you install the latest version of Philz and flash cm10.2 for the d2att to at least get your phone running so you can determine the bootloader.

And the issue I am encountering is a bit bigger than that, I cant install anything. I cant even flash the stock .tar file I found. I cant get ODIN to do anything except fail? I never even got CWM installed.
Can you get into download mode and stay in download mode?
There is not stock tar.md5 ROM you can flash from sammobile because AT&T never made a stock ROM available after 4.1.1.
Did you try to flash Philz Touch for the d2lte in Odin 3.07 using his tar.md5 recovery file? What about TWRP?
No TWRP either?
Can you provide me a link to that MD5
After digging up the MD5 I have got the phone booting again.
Thank you so much for all your help!

Brick recovery update?

Hi guys my step son has proper messed up his phone he's somehow tripped knox and is stuck in a bootloop. I cannot seem to find a current recovery from brick solution for the latest firmwares. The only guide I can find seems to be before knox was implemented I've been looking round and tried one or two guides with no success. I'm really stuck here and am pleading for any help I can get.
Thank you for your help
