If you have never flashed the 4.3 bootloader onto your phone, you can flash a stock 4.1.1 rom from sammobile.com, use the free method to sim unlock the phone, and run OTA updates to take your phone to KK.
Do not flash the ROM for the i747, only the i747m.

Will the SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 UNIFIED TOOLKIT V7.0 work on a i747 using 4.3.
Currently, there is no free unlock method for the s3 running stock 4.3.
Looking here: http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=213, I see no mention of 4.3 being supported by the toolkit.
CF AutoRoot
CF-Auto-Root worked on my S3 running stock 4.3. I was hating the new Knox and had to get out. I think it took 2 tries but was very painless.

What version of the S3 are you using? Looks like most of the problems reported have been with the AT&T i747.

Did you want a rooted ROM or just a method for unlocking the 4.3?

I want to unlock and root my i747. My note 2 is a bell phone. My i747 is from rogers. Is there a difference in the downloads. Thanking you for the help.
You could load a rooted 4.3 rom , use mobile Odin to downgrade to 4.1.1 to see if you can use the free unlock method. Just don't try to downgrade the bootloader; otherwise, you'll have to buy an unlock code.
The link should have a download for Rogers 4.3.

Once you install a 4.3 stock bootloader, you cannot downgrade the bootloader.
When you flash the Rogers pre-rooted 4.3 rom via desktop Odin, you are replacing the existing bootloader with an identical bootloader and replacing the existing ROM with a 4.3 ROM.
When you flash the Rogers pre-rooted 4.1.1 ROM via desktop Odin, Odin tries to replace the 4.3 bootloader with a 4.1.1 bootloader which can't be done and causes a soft brick.
You can try re-installing the pre-rooted Rogers 4.3.ROM and use mobile Odin to downgrade the OS from 4.3 to 4.1.1. Mobile Odin will not touch the existing bootloder or modem.

When you install the 4.1.1 from AT&T, there is not sound or phone service because the modem is probably incompatible with the ROM.
When installing the 4.1.1 Rogers ROM via mobile Odin, go into recovery and do a factory wipe/reset. Hopefully, doing this will allow the phone to boot.

Found an original copy of rogers 4.1.1, installed worked good but no sound or cell. Installed 4.2 modem got sound and and cell back. Phone now boots up ok and says it is in 4.1.1. Unlock code still not working, 4th menu not coming up, rebooted, tried numerous things, no luck. I think the boot loader from 4.3 is somehow blocking this from working. Not sure were to go from here, any ideas.
Another user loaded a stock 4.1.1 ROM onto his phone with a 4.3 bootloader and could not get the necessary menu options to unlock which leads me to believe you need to be running a completely stock ROM, including the bootloader.
Hello,
I have installed CyanogenMOD on my Samsung S3 (SGH- I747(AT&T)... Before installing CMOD i had Android 4.3...
Sinc 4.3 had lot of issues, i decided to root my device and installed CMOD....
Now I want to restock to my original ROM(AT&T I747 UCUEMJB Stock Restore).. How should I do it... Please help..
Is it advisable to download the original ROM from "samsung-updates.com" and simply flash it using ODIN..
Please advise
Do you have the 4.3 or newer bootloader on your phone? If you do, do not flash any ROMs that try to downgrade your bootloader. Attempts to downgrade from your current bootloader could brick the phone.
This might help if you're on a stock 4.3 bootloader: This might help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722660
If you have the 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 bootloader, you can flash a stock ROM via Odin and OTA to 4.3.
Hey guys,
I got my S4 unlocked from Tmobile. But I want to flash the latest Kitkat firmware via Odin. Will my phone relock back to Tmobile?
Thanks,
Nope
Hey guys I am trying to update my galaxy s3 to kitkat. I am running galaxy s3 at&t variant 747 rooted 4.1.1. I747UCDLK3 update to kitkat. I realized I need to update to 4.1.2 first before doing the 4.3 update. I can't seems to find files I need for 4.1.2. Can someone point me in the right direction. Thank you for your help.
Are your running stock 4.1.1? If you are and your phone is not sim unlocked, unlock it using the free method. Once unlocked, use Odin to flash back to stock unrooted 4.1.1 and then run OTA until you get to KK. It's a longer process than trying to flash straight to 4.4 but is a safer method for people that are new to flashing ROMs.
I am on the stock rom 4.1.1. Does CWM recovery need to go back to stock as well? That is a good idea to unlock before I update.
If you flash back to stock 4.1.1 with Odin, it will wipe everything and put the phone back to completely unroot stock and stock recovery. Stock recovery and being unrooted is required for OTA updates.
Ok is this the link to unlock phone?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529200
Yes, that's it.
I can't seem to find 4.1.1 rom file links seem to be bad on unlock page.
There are stock rooted 4.1.1 images here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
You can use the free unlock method even if the ROM is rooted.
For some reason the at&t mirrors don't seem to be working either.
Mirror2 for the stock rooted 4.1.1 works for me.
I would like to root again after kit kat Is it easy to root with knox? Does unlock stick through kit kat? I really appreciate all of the help. Great website. Great people.
Many people have had success with rooting by using Towelroot.
The sim unlock is permanent.
Let me know how it goes for you @thepar. I expect to be updating to kitkat in the coming week.
For the benefit of those searching the forums to unlock their phones my experience may be of help to those on 4.1.2 or possibly even MJ2. I have had my SGS3 since June 2013 and only allowed one update, that was to 4.1.2. My phone was rooted long ago, but I just unlocked it earlier today and that was with a custom recovery in place and without unrooting. In my case I did not revert to the 4.1.1 rom. I did downgrade the modem to dlk3, that of 4.1.1 while leaving the rom and bootloader at MG2. After completing the unlock I upgraded the modem back to MG2. I have confirmed that SMS, MMS, phone, and wifi functionality is intact.
In truth, I will probably not go back to stock to get to kitkat. I am considering upgrading to the leaked MJ2/4.3 bootloader and MJB modem and then flash a kitkat rom which will work on them, there are several.
I just did the unlock yesterday. I need to find someone with a t-mobile sim to test if the unlock worked. Will I still be able to update the OS even though it is on rooted stock? What will it update me too?
I am kind of debating if I should install a custom rom minus KNOX.

If you want to run an OTA update, you need stock recovery and an unrooted system.
I have a stock recovery but the os is rooted. I don't mind using oden to update the os. I might be better to install a rom with knox removed. I can't seem to find 4.1.1 stock unrooted. I did find 4.0.1 ICS.
You can find a stock ATT 4.1.1 ROM on sammobile.com.
You cannot use Odin to flash a stock KK ROM because it was never released in an Odin format by ATT. ATT provided the KK update via OTA updates. Complete KK updates were provided for i747m only.
Thanks so much!! downloading now.
Let us know what happens. Cheers
I have decided to go custom rom route. It is better to update stock ota first then install custom rom or custom rom straight from 4.1.1?

If you have the 4.4.2 firmware at the present time on your phone then
you cannot downgrade to 4.3 firmware.
There is no way it can be done, there is nothing wrong with the official
stock NF9 stock N900T Note 3 firmware.
You can download the official 4.4.2 NF9 stock N900T Note 3 firmware
from: http://SamMobile.com in case you need to.
Good luck!
