http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/firmwares-official-mdl-mk2-nb4-t2816508
and was following this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/help/nb4-to-nh7-firmware-upgrade-via-odin-t2880284
so after I upgraded Via Odin everything passed I rebooted the phone but it was stuck in a boot loop screen from T-Mobile for almost 2 hours
I Pulled the battery the put it back in and rechargred my phone for a bit then I tried to reinstall M919UVUFNK2 via Odin again then it failed now I get this Screen

I have tried several times to reinstall NK2 but it keeps failing now in Odin
When I try and go into recovery I get the screen above.
I still can get in to Download mode though
Can someone help me out or point me in the right direction I even tried Kies 3 and it always stops at about 96% same with Odin
Thanks for any help

Ok Fixed it after many hours of searching it was right under my nose , I flashed the latest TWRP Tar file Via Odin and Viola Stock Rom is working M919UVUFNK2, now unto the root
Good luck with the root, I've soft bricked about 5 times so far trying to flash SU and TWRP. For some reason when the M919UVUFNK2 firmware came out my phone did a auto ota which baffles me since root/SU stop carrier access for ota. All info I've found on downgrading to 4.4.2 will brick the device to :/

It depends how root was acquired, if system files are modified, kernel, or recovery, then it won't OTA. NK2 is rootable, and I've also had no problems installing twrp. Must be something you're doing. What is your procedure?

I'm desperately trying to root my Sprint S3 on 4.3.
Two different methods so far required to use Odin to flash a recovery, but Odin hangs every time at "recovery.img".
I have my drivers installed, Debugging enabled, and my phone shows in Odin as "0:[com4]".
I dont have clue why it hangs every time and its really aggravating. Can someone please help? I'll be sure to give everyone who tries to a thanks.
Are you putting the tar file in the pda slot?

Yep. Here's a screenshot. Its in the AP section because I tried on a newer version of ODIN, same result.

Do you have a good cable? Most people like the BlackBerry cables and most have problems using the cable supplied with the phone for more than charging.

You will want Odin v. 3.07, not the v. 3.09. Also, there is a much newer version of Philz available, it is 6.15.7 and is a d2lte version. Link for Philz thread is in my signature in order to access the newest version. Make sure the Auto Reboot box is unchecked in Odin, or else the phone will reboot automatically too early in the process. If it works properly, the green Pass message should show after two minutes, and then you can use your custom recovery to flash the SuperSU zip file to achieve root.

Hey sorry for the late reply. I dont think its the Odin version, because I tried first on 3.07 and had the exact same result. I had autoreboot unchecked previously, I guess I had forgotten it in the time I took the screenshot.
I think I've narrowed it down to the generic cable, but I'll download your updated version and give it a try anyways. Thanks!
----edit---
Well something new... its at least telling me it failed sometimes. But other times it still hangs.
Hi guys. First post to the forum, been lurking for years, just registered.
I recently updated my phone with the update that Samsung kept bothering me about every 2 hours or so. And It has messed my phone up, it's slow, it drags. It doesn't even show the clock on my lock screen without thinking about it for about 10 seconds. Train wreck.
I've rooted, installed custom recovery, and loaded custom roms on my Galaxy S i9000 and on my grouper Nexus 7. I kinda get how all this works, I'm not a total newb, but with this phone I am at a dead end and i've tried everything I know, and a bunch more tricks I learned here and nothing is working.
My Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3: Canadian (Bell) version SGH-I747M, supposedly the same as the S3 AT&T,

I had to use zadig to replace my drivers for Heimdall
Heimdall will sucessfully flash clockwork recovery, but it refuses to install my CM rom. I haven't tried any other roms, but from what I've read in the forum here, it doesn't seem to matter what rom you use, it just wont do it.
I get Assert, bootloader errors when trying to install from zip in Clockwork Recovery. tried the fix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41503727
and it does not work. Odin just says "FAILED" right away.
I thought maybe if I just rooted the phone first, I could at least flash a custom recovery and not have it over written everytime I boot.
I tried CF-AutoRoot, Odin says success, but nothing changes on my phone.
I tried OneClickRoot which worked wonders on my GS i9000 back in the day. No success.
I have tried CM Installer to do it automated, It says success, but no change.
People have reported that Knox may be the problem, but as far as I can tell I don't have it on my phone.
I've been working on this for a day and a half and all I've managed to do is factory reset my phone about 12 times. I need help.. I don't know what to do. Has anybody managed to root their phone or install a custom recovery or rom with a GS3 running 4.4?
If you are getting assert errors, try a different rom.
What firmware are you currently on?
Simple solution: flash firmware via Odin
Root using Towelroot
Install SuperSU from the play store
Open SuperSU and update binary and disable knox.
Done
I was having problems on my s3 running 4.4.2 NE6 after 2x failed root attempts. Then had sluggish performance.
Yesterday, I updated using kies to get the latest 4.4.2 NF2. Everything seems back to normal.
I heard in another thread that cf auto root works for NF2 but i personnaly haven't had the time to try it.
Ok, what im hearing is Towelroot won't work anymore on NF2. But most of our older methods should work fine. No idea about the problems you observed though. Root alone shouldn't have any effect on performance.

Can you get into recovery mode? Or just download mode?
Do you have KIES installed?
Try keep Odin open and change USB ports, remount the PDA & flash.

Looks like the motherboard is stuffed. Take it into Samsung.
I received the OTA for Lollipop, but I can't install it because I have a custom recovery. I need to install stock recovery, but my USB port is messed up and I can't use ODIN to flash the image. Is there a way to flash stock recovery without using ODIN or the USB port at all? Thanks!

Unfortunately it's not Lollipop, only a security update (still 4.4.2), I don't believe there is any other way.

Couldnt you use Chainfire's mobile odin to flash stock kernel and recovery, triangle away device status to Official, unroot via supersu app, and accept update, along after the update, follow CNexus's guide to re-root without a PC?
Or does the Knox 0x1 bit still prevent you from updating O_O?

Mobile Odin is a bad idea in this instance, high potential to brick you device trying to flash stock that way. I would honestly say spend the $45 and have one of those repair places replace the port
Ah okay, i know it is bad flashing full firmwares through mobile odin. Didnt know itd be bad doing recovery and kernel only.

I'm not aware of a way to flash stock recovery without flashing the whole sheebang
Hi,
I'll keep it to the point.
What's the problem?
I am not able to connect my phone to PC. And stuck on a unrooted Stock rom(Rooting Apps not helping)
What have i tried?
I tried plugging into many PCs with many different cables.
What happened?
I was on Cyanogen based Lollipop when the problem occurred and thought it was a problem with the rom so i tried to go back to Stock Rom. Since i was not able to connect to PC i used MobileOdin. Though it reverted me back to stock i lost my Root as well.
Now stuck in the barren Stock rom lands for five months with almost everything on google tried out I am hoping to go back to the Cyanogen with your help.
Please help, please let me kno if you need more info.
Thanks, any help will be appreciated.

download TWRP from play store, flash TWRP via app, then go to recovery, use microsd card reader or wifi/bluetooth file transfer.
make sure you have Kies installed

Will the flashing via app work without root permissions?
I do not have a rooted stock rom, also rooting apps are not working with my phone.
Any Help.. Please!!
What can i flash from the Android system recovery manual mode. It looks something like this:
{

The image is not mine(found one on google) but the recovery mode looks similar on my device.
Thanks
