First off I NEVER have had rom issues before this, it all started with a failed encryption attempt that soft bricked my phone. instead of re posting what i wrote here is a link to the 2 pg thread in which i received help and thus this is where i am at.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701706
OK now ever since then i have never been able to update to a new rom. I believe it let me do it once and i believe i am using an older version of S3Rx.
I believe it may be due to how I updated to 4.3 I would like to get 4.4 as i believe kit kat (tell me if im wrong) will probably be the last android os the S3 will support so i basically want to get the most out of it as i can and also be able to try other roms in general like i used to. Because i currently do not have a sd card I have yet to try anything drastic as i normally use my sd card for backups and rom installs because if something happens to the phone i have the sd card backup.
So in all What should I DO, I have fears of using Odin as the one time it failed on me i bricked a phone and I cant really afford to hard brick this one like i did the other. Although the only thing I can think of being a dumb leach user and non dev. Would be to use odin with the most recent root66 then go from there? Although again lol all i can think of is the above.
Thanks for reading and i hope like the last time I will recieve help to bring back the life to this device. TIA!!
Can you give a little more info on why you can't flash, like an error message or something?

for some reason using twrp and cwm they fail with twrp it normally fails instantly and with cwm it will fail sometime during the install.
I need to put a rom on my phone and ill give exact error. I havce been trying to use the likewise port from att http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-t-mobile/development/rom-likewise-s5-4-1-tw-4-4-2-ne4-t2879647 I normally use an sd card as i have the 12gb model and some roms are large but i should still be able to succeed (we will see from the error message)
thanks for replying

HRM i guess im ok i just installed the latest S3Rx as i wanted to see what made it stop so i chose this rom (because i needed to update anyway) and it had aroma so I thought perfect ill know when it fails but it worked out ive downloaded and tried to install likewise several time at first i thought i got a bad download but ive tried again and for some reason. I have yet to try a 4.4 (i wanted to try likewise so thats why i chose it) so without trying other roms my issue has something to do with going to 4.4 from 4.3 IDK though as i have not tried other roms but no one else seams to have this issue with this rom port?
Any 4.4 rom suggestion to try to find out what the issue is?
currently installed base-band modem should have no impact on rom installation only the fact i wont get signal right?
I just cant think of any reason why i am having the issue?? any ideas anything i should check to make sure its right on my mobile? BTW thanks for coming back to help as this is possibly a stupidity problem which is hard to help how do you help stupid lol?
Try S3rx 4.4.2 or do you mean aosp/cm?.. And correct, baseband/modem won't matter on ROM installation.. I'm sure it's not stupidity, believe me we all get issues we cannot understand at times and the next time you try, problem is gone lol

i personally prefer touchwiz so no aosp or cm and the latest version of s3Rx i though is what i just installed but its only 4.3 not 4.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326763
installing that works but i still cant get to 4.4 im going to search for one that has aroma maybe it will work do you have any suggestions on a good touchwiz based rom on the latest version of android?
To me Likewise looked the best but trying to get that rom working is what prompted this OP.
I still have yet to try again after this recent rom update as I havent had the time and the battery level is not high enough yet to start as i will need to create a new backup and delete my old ones as i have the 12 gb model and currently no sd card.
I will post back when that has been done to show my results. In the mean time ill be searching for another possibly suitable rom like i already said something with aroma and if you have a preference ill try that first.

it wont change my modem? and it will be OK I NEVER have used a rom other than roms made specially for t-mobile i was always under the impression that's a bad idea? I know att and t-mobile are sometimes compatible though but Ive still always been weary so before i do it you want me to use an att rom on my t-mobile?
Anythi8ng special i should know before i do it (besides thew obvious like make a backup and follow op directions) because im not on att i dont want another soft brick (cant afford to have that happen right now either) and a HARD brick would totally mess me up. (i just paid this off lol)

Edit: well I tried it it installed fine but the screen would not display i could feel the phone vibrate as to start up although like i said no boot screen no Samsung loading screen basically yeah I'm having problems with 4.4.X
You don't need to change anything and it won't change your modem, you just need to be on 4.3 firmware

ill try again but the rom you said to try installed fine no problems but after restart no display????? it vibrated so IDK if it even booted. I am really confused I have never had problems like this. Especially with this phone as it has been easy from the start not the case with other devices i have used.
So ill try again maybe a reboot will get it working IDK but i guess ill try it again cross your fingers

You could be on a 4.3 ROM, but have a 4.1.x bootloader.. Download latest 4.3 firmware for your device and flash it with Odin
So yes i must be on 4.1.2 as that was the last time i flashed with odin so i believe you help3ed me with my main isssue now this is something i would like to be sure of:
Can i simply flash the following posted on the s3rx page or will i have to use odin i prefer not to as well i don't know much about it and it scares me as idk how to if possible backup in case of error as the only unfixed problem i have ever had was a while rooting a galaxy s 4g (the one that came with inception) and i walked away and the cord was unplugged and there was an error that it still has about firmware upgrade failure connect to kies and neither kies nor odin will connect to it so its currently in the same situation. So i am fearful of using odin unless it must be done.
Complete 4.3 T999, T999L and T999V bootloader and modem packages.
After flashing DO NOT try to install any older bootloaders or use any other odin.tar other then the latest 4.3 or you will brick your phone.

Would this be enough (would probably use NC2) or will i be better of using the latest root66 with odin? and if so can you give me some tips on odin usage as i would get the latest odin and the latest root66 rom and flash it hoping it works I would try to learn more also but yeah.
It's better to flash the full firmware with Odin imo, but it should be fine. And yes, use nc2
So i think the best cleanest way is to use odin although i have a few questions
First the latest version of odin should work right so 3.09 or 3.10?
Can a backup before this? is there a way to do it?
Lastly the best rom to flash is root 66 NC2 fot t999
Then i will be on a 4.3 bootloader and will be able to use 4.3+ roms?
I have the drivers the latest odin and the root66 image can you direct me on how to do it as a refresher?
I appreciate all your help!!
Please go to Android development an look at [baseband] an just go to first page should help with everything
I believe the root66 thread has instructions
Specs: I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 phone from AT&T
*Model: SGH-I747
*Purple/Blue Version
*AT&T Version
What I have done:
*I rooted my phone today then tried to install Android Revolution HD ROM due to the terrible battery life of my phone ( would die after a few hours when the phone was locked and inactive!)
*Phone won't turn on.
*There is no logo boot
*Can't go into recovery mode
*LED only comes on when battery is out. Still won't turn on.
I saw this video for the SGH-I747M that could recover Hard Bricked is there one for my version?
I cannot post a link apparently so I will have to say later in the post
Your phone is bricked because the ROM you flashed is for the i9300, not the i747 or i747m.

Probably not. How do I check that?
Download and install the Samsung info app from the play store. Run the app and post the bootloader and modem version.
Modem Board: MSM8960
BOOTLOADER VERSION: 1747UCUFNE4
Look under baseband in about phone. The baseband should also be ne4.
Yeah both the baseband and the bootloader are the same numbers.
at some point in builds or on certain ROMs i guess , people have had to use ktoonsez' kernel to get wifi working. i have no idea why. will try to find link in case you want to try. BRB.

Do I flash the file from Recovery mode? Also I am assuming since I am running 4.1.2 Hyperdrive rom I need this:
JELLYBEAN 4.1 VERSIONS:
AOSP JELLYBEAN: Download CWM flashable zip kernel
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1hnavz4mbr660vh
yup , kernels are flashed just like ROMs. looks right.
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
So when Flashing a Kernel do I have to wipe my phone completely first then re-install my rom?
nope. just flash on top. although some people do wipe cache and dalvik after , but i dont think even that is necessary.

Do you have access to wifi? If you do, install the Samsung Info App from the Play store and let me know the bootloader and modem version on your phone. The modem may be unknown because the modem does not match the bootloader.
I recommend not flashing or changing anything until you know exactly what's on your phone.

Since you don't have wifi, it may be because the ROM is 4.3 with a 4.4.2 bootloader and modem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54029413&postcount=11
So should I be using 4.4.2 Ota zip update?
Have a look at the thread. The first post says it will update the bootloader and modem to ne4. Are you already on ne4 modem and bootloader? You should be since imei is back with the ne4 bootloader.
I guess I didn't understand yes I'm on ne4 modem and bootloader
Your wifi doesn't turn on or it turns on and cannot connect to a network?
Not sure what to suggest since I have not run into this situation before. You could either flash a custom kernel or flash everything to 4.4.2 using the zip file from that thread.
You could also try to locate an updated csc file as well. Not sure if that will make a difference.

yes its weird everything seems to work but wifi, wifi just wont turn on slide it over to on it just slides back lol darn bugger

Hey, so I've been flashing a few roms, and all is going as it should, but for none of them, can I find the Rogers Network. I've tried Cyanide L, Slimkat 5.0.2 and Liquid Smooth KitKat.. But for all of them, I can't detect the network. I've even tried going back to a stock, rooted, debloated rom, and still no signal. So my quesion is, is there a kernal I should flash to get the network back? Not sure what to do, but miss my cell reception .-. Please help

if you have terminal emulator app on your phone , type in su (to grant it SU privileges) then hit 'enter' , then type getprop ro.bootloader and hit enter. it will show bootloader version. OR download "samsung info" app from playstore and it will tell you. my best guess ; and i'd like for @audit13 to chyme in when he has time , is that youre running older firmware with newer ROMs. so maybe updating bootloader/modem would fix network issue. AND sometimes just flashing a newer kernel (ktoonsez's for example) will fix network issues. one more thing is that once you upgrade bootloader/modem you cannot downgrade or youll get a bricked device.
why you wouldnt have service after going back to stock , i have not a clue.
but like i said , audit may have a better solution.

Alright, so I ran the terminal emulator, and it came up with this "I747MVLUFNF2"
I don't know what that number means, so hopefully that's what you're asking for :s When I bought it, it was used, from a guy who never did any flashing, rooting before. So it was stock, and reset, with no prior tampering. It was on 4.2.2 Jellybean, and I upgraded to 4.4.2 within Kies, and was using it like that for a few months, also had it rooted. Since than, I decided to flash a rom, and yea.. That's been happening. Also I checked the ESF folder, and it's got stuff inside of it. But in the IMEI folder, it has only one file. I don't know what's supposed to be in there.. But anyways, is that bootloader number okay, and do you think I should flash that kernel you mentioned?
bootloader and modem #s should match. i'm pretty sure that MK5 is the older of the two. so modem would need to be upgraded to match bootloader (NF2). or i might have that backwards. let me double check though , cause i dont want to cause more problems.

ok , what i get from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625

That's fine, I'm glad you helped I wouldn't have found out as much as I have in the least. It's unfortunate, but I'll hopefully find something o.o
you might try asking on this thread.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257421
there are some good people there also. just a suggestion.

Mobile Odin will not flash a modem or bootloader. You need to flash the most recent modem in order to have things work again.
If your bootloader and modem are still mismatched, the newer models can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/general/modem-4-4-2-modems-i747-i747m-t2856577
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for reading. I'm currently on a lollipop Cyanide ROM with the FNE4 bootloader and need to return the device to stock firmware & OS. I've been looking through threads but I cannot find anything that seems to help me (or I might just be bad at searching). I've soft bricked this thing a couple of times and don't really wish to repeat that same process over again.
I'm pretty sure I'd have to ODIN to stock FNE4 firmware, but I cannot seem to find that. If you have any ideas, please let me know - I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hah, not to great so far. I flashed the stock NE4 zip and now can't boot, getting stuck at the AT&T globe screen. It looks like I don't have a recovery - at all, not even the stock one at the moment either. I can still access download mode, though. I'm not positive of what would be best to flash though. Any recommendations?
Thanks so much again!

my recommendation is to ask the big gun. HELP @audit13. lol

Looks like you need to flash the phone using a custom recovery.
After flashing the ROM, did you immediately boot to recovery in order to wipe cache, Dalvik, and data?
