Hello!
I am trying to unlock my S3 (SGH-I747m) but the unlock code is not successful. I found a thread which made me hopeful but couldn't try the dial method as the dialing *#197328640# does not work on CM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712153
I know for a fact that the CM installation is _not_ the reason the unlock code is not working. This is because I had tried to unlock this phone way before I installed CM and it didn't work back then. Thinking back, I may have done something to the settings (reached via *#197328640#) over a year ago and I suspect that is why the unlock code is not working. Now, I would love to try out the steps listed in the aforementioned XDA thread but can't get to those options as they are not part of CM.
Is there a way for me to unlock (I have the code) this phone (CM installed) without reflashing stock Samsung ROM first?
Thank you.

The most likely reason that the unlock code is not successful is that you are no longer on the 4.1.1 modem. If you are not on the stock dialer the codes do not work even if you are on the 4.1.1 modem. And even on the stock dialer, not all codes are present after reaching the 4.3 modem.
IIRC
CM ROMs do not have the stock dialler and it is probably the stock dialler that you need to enter the unlock code.

I should mention that I can enter the unlock code just fine after rebooting the phone with another carrier SIM, just that the code is unsuccessful in unlocking the phone.
Since I am running Android 4.4.4, is it safe to simply download the stock 4.4.4 dialer and simple run the apk file on the phone?
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...ll-it-manually-on-other-kitkat-roms-download/
I believe the phone will need the stock Samsung dialler.
I am not sure but the moto dialer may be an aosp dialer.

Oh okay. This is going to sound dumb, I'm not sure how to get the stock Samsung dialer which would be compatible with CM 11, i.e. Android 4.4.4.
Once I have it, I can simply flash it via recovery, correct?
What bootloader is on your phone? This is important to know before flashing anything.

Samsung Phone Info app says the bootloader is I747MVLUFNK2
I suggest flashing back to stock using the nk2 firmware from sammobile: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-I747M/
Once you unlock the phone using the code, you can flash a custom recovery and re-flash cm.

I was afraid that was going to be the only option but was trying to avoid as I had a tough time flashing CM in the first place. Oh well, I will give this a shot soon. Thanks for all your help!
Flashing CM should be pretty easy.
After you unlock the phone, use Odin to flash TWRP. Boot into TWRP, create a nandroid backup. Copy CM and Gapps to your phone (internal or external memory), and flash CM11 and Gapps.

As I read your post, very little of it made sense but I was able to work through it one item at a time. I inadvertently downloaded CM12 nightly and now running Android 5.1.1. Oh well, at least is not Samsung's crappy version.
Again, thank you for all the help!
Edit: Oh and phone was unlocked easily once I went back to stock Samsung ROM.
Glad you got it working. You could have sent me a PM to ask for more detailed instructions. I wasn't sure how familiar you were with flashing the s3 via Odin, etc.

Thanks. I didn't want to bother anymore than I already was. Plus, one has to learn at some point how to do these things anyway. So it worked out alright.
We're all here to help and I don't mind helping when I can. Others on this forum have helped me through many phones, including my s3 which I haven't had for 18 months.

Hi,
I had stock 4.3 firmware on my att i747 galaxy s3, then I decided to flash cyanogenmod. everything went well but i dont really like it.
Now I want to go back to stock. I tried flashing the stock rom with odin but it fails and it says this on the phone:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (2 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty Bit: 1
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
SW REV CHECK FAIL : Fused 2 > Binary 0
The android version it shows is 4.3.1 and im able to use it normally with the cyanogenmod.
What can I do to flash a stock rom back?
EDIT: used triangle away and the custom binary download says "no" now and the current binary says "samsung official" but still get the same problem.
Thank You

You need to flash a stock ROM that has no boot loader attached to it. I just reverted my S3 back to stock from CM11 so that I could sell it. Flash a Rom.zip through recovery and it should work fine. I see you are ATT so I suggest this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540998. You have the choice of Stock Rooted without bootloader which is what you will be looking for. This thread also has everything you may need. Do not attempt to use Odin to flash roms with older bootloaders or you will find major issues.
You will almost definitely need to wipe everything so back everything up and be sure to take a Nandroid.

In that thread you have 2 good options that I can see. Scroll down and you will find one ROM by upndwn4par/full and another debloated directly under it. Which you chose depends on if you want Samsung/ Google software on it. The upndwn4par file will have you closer to stock than the other. Please be sure to read a couple pages, even if you don't get any immediate knowledge from it you will become way more familiar with these processes. It's worth the time, and safer for your phone.

Thanks once again, i will download the debloated one. But I have a question, that won't be a stock rom right? If the bootloader is the problem is there a stock d2att 4.3 rom i can flash?
That is a stock ROM. It is just pre rooted with knox removed. It is a modified version of the Stock OTA with the problematic parts removed..

You need a custom recovery to flash this. CWM or TWRP. I'm not too sure how you got to CM without one but be sure you have one and then flash the Rom from above. You can install CWM with the app 'Rom Manager'.

I installed CWM but now that i used cyanogen for a while im starting to like it. The only thing that I dont like is the music player. I downloaded google play but it is even worst, my playlists are not even in order. Is there any way of flashing the stock samsung music player on cyanogenmod or is it integrated with the touchwiz?
Thanks for all the help you gave me so far.
EDIT: I found this thread about ported s4 apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267029, can i just flash it with CWM using cyanogenmod?
You can not flash that S4 port. It says it is specifically for the Galaxy advance. Also you are correct that the Samsung player requires Touchwiz. Try Power Amp, it has pretty good reviews and features. A 3rd party player is probably your best bet. You can cherry pick for features

Hi guys!
I hope that I chose the right forum to ask my question: I installed this rom onto my Note 2 LTE N7105, but now I don't have wifi (as the text in the rom description says). Before I flashed the rom, I had installed Devils Rom (deodexed and deknoxed 4.3 stock) with the devils kernel (based on MK5). I thought that the bootloader will be kept, because I already installed a wifi hotfix for that bootloader.
Now I have the new 4.4 rom installed, it works fine - except for wifi. If I got this right (if not, correct me) - flashing the MJ5 bootloader will solve the problem and I won't have KNOX triggered (now I have a "MA5" bootloader). So I tried to flash the MJ5 bootloader with ODIN 3.09 but it keeps failing. The drivers are installed, I can access the download menu. My pc recognizes the phone as COM5, but when I load the bootloader and click on flash, almost instantly a red FAIL appears in the first block. The output says "writing NAND..." and then "FAILED".
Now I am a bit confused - does the MJ5 bootloader work with the Note 2 LTE or only the non- LTE version? Are there any other ways to get wifi to work? If there's now way around, I am willing to trigger my knox.
Thanks in advance, I hope you can help a very confused user

Did you try to flash the kernel as stated in the installation instructions of the rom that your trying to install?
I have the agni kernel as it is the only way to get the wifi to work without the bootloader, which im trying to get too. For the life of me i cannot figure out why odin doesnt want to flash the bootloader. mj5 or nd3 makes no difference. according to info app my boot loader version is N7105ZHALJ4. Do I need to step up 'slower'?
I want to go to any of those recent bootloaders so wifi will work normally. It seems slow on the agni kernel but at least it works.

AFAIK you can't install Agni Kernel using Odin. Instead use your Custom Recovery to install that kernel, under "Install Zip from Storage" option of your custom recovery. HTH.

Agni kernel is only flashable via recovery not with odin.. Its a zip file.. U can flash it using CWM or Philz Or twrp recoveries
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
U r right hazin ... That file can be flashed only via recovery... But I m not able to flash it.. It goes into aroma installer, does its work and says done but does not show on settings... I e saved log file too of that process...
So no answer on this question yet?? I'm also trying to flash the MJ5 bootloader using Odin, no luck though.
Can anyone explain why it keeps failing?

No, I never managed to fix it. I think I found out in the end that there never was an MJ5 bootloader for the GT-N7105 (the international LTE version). There was only an MJ5 bootloader for the non-LTE version, the GT-N7100. And of course, that phone's bootloader will never work on the N7105.
So we're out of luck it appears
so the phone is dead ?

All of the new KitKat ROMs have fixes built in for that. Some of the Lollipop ROMs also fix this, so you don't really need that bootloader.

I'm on NamelessROM 5.0.2 at the moment, works fine for me. I'd probably recommend that one, battery life is also great. It's in the N7105 development forum. :good:
I was also on CM11 official, worked like a charm. There are a number of 4.4.4 ROMs in the N7105 development forum that were quite mature and worked well.

Ok, then it's a completely different discussion... not sure why the bootloader would be failing in that case, since it was built for that device. You could try a different Odin? (Assuming of course that your are NOT trying to DOWNGRADE the bootloader... it's well known that you can't downgrade the bootloarder to MJ5 from something more recent).
Otherwise, I'm sure there are equally useful ROMs for the N7100 in the Note 2 Original Development forum.
But, since your device is probably pretty old and almost certainly out of warranty by now, I would seriously consider flashing the latest official Samsung ROM to get the latest bootloader and then flash whatever you want on top of that. Voiding the warranty is irrelevant if you're already out of warranty. But, I have heard that even with the latest bootloader some people still have trouble with wifi and BT. In that case all I can suggest is playing around with different ROMs until you find something that works for you. As I'm not a N7100 user I can't really offer more advice than that, sorry man.
Guys where I can find a REAL WORKING link to download mj5 or higher bootloader??
I tried a lot & most of them are obselete
Maybe downnload the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com and extract the bootloader?

Stock dialer is what is required.
And no, if you flash 4.3 firmware you will never be able to use the free unlock method. Odin flash 4.1.1 firmware only. Then you can unlock. You'll have to factory reset too btw.

Dear all,
Well I dont know where to start. But here is what happened with my N7100 Note 2.
I was on the latest 4.4.2, the phone restarted suddenly one day and it just dont boot stuck at samsung logo,
flashed the 4.4.2 stock from sammobile. and it worked fine everything was perfect for a week, till it happened again
flashed the same rom. and here is where the trouble begins.
The IMEI changed to generic 00499XXX.., Serial No: 000000
i managed to downgrade to 4.1.2 with mobile odin, flashed a lot of stocks and customs as well. And after a very hard work for a week i manage to get back my IMEI and serial number back, now I backed up my EFS learned my lesson
Now i flashed the stock rom 4.1.1, phone is unlocked. cant make calls, or sms or data internet.
Now I have service: out of service, Bluetooth address: unavailable (while its in the efs folder the mac is in the file), Device status modified, And when I connect it to USB it wont recognize the phone until I have to dial *#7284# and change USB from modem to PDA, then save and reset. (EVERYTIME) I need a permanent fix as well for that.
Please I need help with those as i cant make my phone work.
Thanks and regards,
Mohamed Selim.
First and most important:
If you ever were on stock 4.4.x you can't downgrade to 4.1.x because of knoxed bootloader.
What you did with mobile odin was no real downgrade cause your bootloader wasn't touched.
Don't try to flash firmware beyond your current bootloader version.
Install Samsung Phone Info app from play store and look for actual bootloader version.

As I said before: YOU DID NOT DOWNGRADE firmware to 4.1.2 with Mobile Odin, check with Info app from Samsung:
You will find bootloader between *ND3 and *NI1 and all are 4.4.2 KitKat
So, whatever firmware you try to flash under 4.4.2 is supposed to fail.

Mobile Odin does everything but doesn't flash bootloader so it is like flashing a custom rom which also doesn't contain bootloader.
PC Odin flashes complete firmware, so this is the only way to really up- or downgrade. Hope you understand the difference.
The only solution I see for you is to concentrate on 4.4.2 equal or up your actual bootloader version.

I really want to help you out and I assure you that I know what I am talking about (take a look into my signature with stock roms and bootloaders).
There is indeed no solution on 4.1.1 and the screenshot doesn't show bootloader version. To believe what I say try to find out what BL version you are on. If it shows XXUFND3 up to XXUFNI1 you have the proof.

There is indeed no solution on 4.1.1 and the screenshot doesn't show bootloader version. To believe what I say try to find out what BL version you are on. If it shows XXUFND3 up to XXUFNI1 you have the proof.

XXUFND3 was the first KitKat firmware for N7100 and yours was the second.
Three options:
1) Flash firmware using PC Odin at least ND4, maybe better NE1 or up
2) Flash through recovery any stock KitKat custom rom provided by wesamothman, cosmyndemeter or me
3) Flash through recovery any KitKat custom rom you like from development section here
4.3 custom roms may work also, but not 100% sure.
Beyond 4.3 I wouldn't recommend.

Best and fastest one is XXUFNI1, NH2 and NG3 aren't bad either.
Do a clean installation (factory reset) and after setup device go back into recovery to flash SuperSu.zip.:highfive:

No need to flash BL cause you already have KitKat BL

help with att galaxy s3
i bricked my galaxy s3 i747 and using enewman17s method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
I downloaded the mk5 file from another one of his posts, and with that download it gives me multiple folders and a boot.img.
Now correct me if I'm wrong, the phone is actually up and running now, but the main problem i have found with it is that the sound is not working at all and videos dont want to play. Do i need the files in those folders and the .img file to make everything work properly? any other information can be provided and all is welcomed thank you.

Did you brick you phone while on 4.0? How did you brick it?
No the device is virgin non rooted, new out of the box and unlocked, I want it to be 4.3 unrooted and unlocked

What is the model? In Canada, the s3 is the i747m. In the USA, the s3 is i747. The i747m bootloader and modem cannot be flashed on a i747.
Stock restore from 4.4.4 Carbon

What bootloader is on your phone? You need to confirm that before proceeding. If you have a 4.4.2 bootloader and you use the 4.3 restore procedure, you could brick your phone.

If I run "getprop ro.bootloader" it says I747UCUEMJB, which is 4..3?

Yes, that is 4.3. Make sure you read the instructions very carefully. Flashing is always risky and there is always a chance that you wind up bricking the phone.

Yes, but any more risky than flashing to the Carbon rom I just loaded?
Normally, flashing custom ROMs such as Liquid and Carbon do not flash a modem or bootloader. If something goes wrong, you can boot back into recovery and re-flash or flash a different ROM.
Flashing a stock ROM desktop Odin usually includes a modem and bootloader change. I believe changing the bootloader is the most crucial part to get right.
Hi there, first time poster and I want to thank the OP for the great efforts, write up and support!
I have a rooted ATT SGH-i747 that OTA soft-bricked on the way to 4.4.3 - I was able to get the phone back up and working with the 4.3 .zip and ODIN 3.7 following your thread, and then restored most of my data - but now my phone won't connect to 4G, it's wifi only, and Baseband version is "unknown"
I am assuming I should continue to update to 4.4.2 but I don't want to do further damage...
Any advice on how I can get back on ATT 4G or what my next move should be?
FWIW, I have CWM and TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery -v5 installed on external SD
dont know if this will help, but maybe a starting point :

Is the baseband still unknown? If it is, you should determine the bootloader installed on your phone. Sounds like a mismatch between the bootloader and modem.
Thanks bro you just saved my life and my fone's life
thanks a lot bro i was so pissed that i installed the cm 11 and i hated it and when i tried to go back to stock i just coudn't i tried all the methods the odin version it always failed and said that nand write error so i just gave up hope and thought that i would go to the shop in the morning and get the sw changed then at the very last moment i saw your post and i said why not give it a try and i was surprised and equally shocked that it was this simple to flash this rom thanks again bro and stay blessed
