I'd be sure you have the correct Odin package for your device. For the G925T, the file should include "G925TUVU2COF6" in it.

My ATT SGH-i747 was rooted and running 4.4.2 until an OTA this past weekend soft-bricked the phone. Phone would boot to a blank screen but still allowed access to download and recovery modes, thankfully.
With help from this awesome forum, and a stock 4.3 flash via ODIN, thanks to enewman17's epic efforts and thread , the phone is back, but now won't recognize the SIM - and baseband version is "unknown" - I suspect I need to now go up to 4.4.2 to get the hw recognized by the sw. Went to ATT and they put a new SIM in but to no avail
CWM recovery is gone, but I can reload that easily enough...
Do I need to just flash the modem, or is the bootloader involved too?
Is there a single flash or .zip that will get the ROM (incl CSC and Modem) up to 4.4.2 in one shot?
I never really wanted to go this deep but here I am so now I'm looking for advice or direction as there are so many directions to look... thanks in advance!
Mismatch in firmware
Digging deeper, using Phone Info *Samsung*, I have noted the following
bootloader version: I747UCUFNJ1
baseband version: <blank>
pda version: I747UCUEMJB
csc version: I747ATTEMJB
skip a bit...
modem version: <blank>
hardware revision: <blank>
mobile operator name: <blank>
mobile network code: <blank>
So it would seem I have a mis-match of versions, where it seems all should be the same..
Would it be safe to flash to MJB following this thread?

Your modem (baseband) appears to have been compromised in the process of downgrading from Kitkat. You could try either of the following solutions...
1) Flash the UCUEMJB modem via custom recovery to return you to complete stock 4.3. You can see the modem file here ....
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319197285
2) Do a complete stock restore to 4.4.2. You can find the stock update zip via the following thread ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/general/ucuemjb-to-ucufne4-firmware-update-t2808654
If you can reflash the 4.3MJB modem, you can check to see if you can get an OTA update to 4.4.2. Using Option 2 requires you to be on complete stock 4.3 so this may not work if you currently don't have the baseband/modem. I would strongly advise you stick to the custom recovery flashable files for now and avoid Odin. You would, however, need to restore custom recovery via Odin.
Hope this works for you.

Thanks for the detailed reply with links, Larry :good:
So I guess my plan of actions will be
1) re-install custom recovery w CWM to my external SD card as was previous
-do I *need* later version of CWM? Previous one of mine was 6.0.2.3, IIRC, that is what I can easily flash back to the phone
2) install .zip (from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319197285) via CWM
If that doesn't work, I was interested in the S3Rx ROM vs. a stock 4.4.2 ROM - is there any way to go straight to a custom 4.4.2 ROM or should I get the modem working in 4.3 first?
Lastly, Where can I find a later version of a CW Recovery Touch .tar to flash via ODIN? (third stoopid noob question in this post, I know...)

You aren't the first to have this issue. This is why I am still on NE4 and did not take the OTA to NJ1. The update is pointless anyway, all it does is patch the kernel so towelroot won't work anymore aside from updating the bootloader.
Since your bootloader is NJ1, that is your firmware which cannot be downgraded. If you try, you will brick. You have to work with NJ1 files here only. Sure you can flash older modems, but stick to NJ1. I suggest using ODIN to flash a custom recovery, then use enewman17's NJ1 .zip file in said recovery to reflash all the NJ1 stuff. Then do a complete factory reset. You might need to flash stock recovery to do the hard factory data reset, as I am not sure if it can be done in CWM or TWRP.
In the future, I suggest freezing the update and not upgrading until people on here do it and report how it's working or rather not working in this case.

Thanks for the response, Stoney :good:
I have CWM and TeamEpic v5 on external SD, so a version of custom recovery is there (CWM 6.0.2.3) - but do you have a link to enewman17's NJ1 .zip /recovery?
As far as freezing the updates in the future, yes. I tried to keep the OTA push from happening, apparently not ardently enough :crying:

Not a problem, glad to help when I can. I THINK this is the link you need: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/general/ucufne4-to-ucufnj1-update-t2941792
You might want to post in that thread asking if it works when you are already on NJ1 though, or get a hold of enewman17 via PM or something.
SOLVED!
enewman17 posted NJ1 modem .zip here, and now me has modem and cellular service again!
Question: can I update the thread tag from [Q] to [SOLVED] myself?

Now odin wont recoginize or open any of my rom files. Li see the rom im trying to flash by name but when i click open it only opens the next folder instead of initiating the flash. I really just need someone who has a 4.4.2 stock rom in md5 format.(edited or not.)
As a last effort if i get no answer im going to try to downgrade to another os and reupdate to 4.4.2 right after. Ive been searching for days now all i see are guides from how to upgrade to a different os . If it does include 4.4.2 they only posted the update and not the entire rom.
And when i do find someone posting a full rom for 4.4.2 its either not for 747i or its not a md5 file so someone plz help me

What bootloader are you on? Enewman17 made an ODIN flashable file for Android 4.3 MJB. I don't think anyone made an ODIN file for Android 4.4.2 NE4 or 4.4.2 NJ1, but I could be wrong. I know there are flashable .zip files for NE4 and NJ1 to update that you flash in TWRP or CWM recovery.
Im running NE4
The latest is NJ1 which was available from AT&T as an OTA update only. You need to unrooted and running stock recovery in order to install the update.
I do not recommend downgrading the bootloader as this would probably brick your phone.
Did you try reinstalling the Samsung drivers?
Hi,
Am on CM12.1, T-Mobile Galaxy S4 SGH-M919, Rooted, Android 5.1.1
How i can update the Baseband - From M919Uvufnk2 To M919Uvufoh3 using TWRP?
You can't. You have to use Odin.

Ok, i can use ODIN. But from where i can find the baseband for rooted custom ROM (CM) SGH-M919?
My method...Backup your current rom. Odin the oh3 stock release, odin cf root, odin twrp, backup the new stock rom, restore prior backup.

Hmmm...thats what i am actually thinking as of now....but looking for easy alternative like if we get the flashable zip or something of this baseband i can just flash it without taking backup of ROM and reinstall the ROM etc.....
But am looking for a site where i can download these basebands....
i take it you are trying to update the modem/baseband ihere you go. Must be done thru odin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/foh3-modem-bin-mdl-bootloader-t3191094
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CHANGE THE BOOTLOADER unless u KNOW EXACLY what you are doing...changing bootloader to the wrong bootloader will brick your device and some modem packages conatin bootloader. so make sure that you are getting a ODIN file that only contains the modems and no bootloader!
if you wish to properly update the bootlaoder and baseband properly ....just ODIN the OFFICIAL samsung release for your device and then re-root and reinstall recovery and then your rom.

Perfect....I will use this one....
And on S4 you don't even need to root before flashing TWRP and your ROM of choice. Just double flash the stock release with ODIN, let it boot up and make sure all is well, go into Camera to let it see if it needs a firmware update (happens automatically first time you run stock camera app), and when satisfied your phone is good, go into download mode, take TWRP + whatever else you want.
My phone is broken. I rooted it and then installed a custom rom. After that it kept on randomly rebooting. I Then tries putting it back to stock with an md5 file, but it failed half way through. Now it just says firmware upgrade issue. Use recoverymode in kies. I tried but it says my phone is not supported. Now I keep on trying to install ota firmware updates but they keep failing. Please help get my phone up and running asap
Also telling me there is no pit binary
Go here to grab the zip file. Unzip and odin the tar file to bring your phone back.
That did not work it said auth fail
using a different kernel it succceeded

For future reference. When this happens and Odin fails to flash official software you first need to make sure you odin the same software version that is currently running on your phone. If that fails then you can flash the stock unrooted kernel that matches your current software. Another tip, major software update's tar packages will include a sprint pit file. So if you are stuck and unable to flash the stock software with odin then try the first things I mentioned first and if that fails then odin an official rom tar that includes the sprint pit file. (incremental monthly security patches usually do not contain a pit file. Only the first release of a major update will include a pit) The tar packages do check the current kernel so that's the first thing you want to get back to stock when odin fails to flash stock software. I posted this for reference incase others have this problem in the future.
I was on one of the latest versions of MM, I was trying to downgrade to 5.1.1. When i tried flashing the 5.1.1 it put me in a fail that i cant get back to 6.0.1. The only .tar i could get to flash is the combination flash that is for troubleshooting all sensors and hardware, I cant get twrp, or any other stock 6.0.1 images to flash back on it without fail on Odin 3.12.3. If anyone has any ideas how to proceed from this purgatory much appreciated.
It's back!
After being very persistent with not being able to flash anything but the combination firmware stock binary, I switched to usb port on back of computer, went backward to Odin 3.9.?, flashed an early MM firmware successfully with the help of a Pit file being flashed with stock firmware. Had recurring fails saying ext4 fail. PIT file fixed that. Back to square 1 now. Was on the latest MM,now on Jun 2016 release of MM. Still hoping to unlock bl and root .

If your bootloader is locked again I think you're going to have to Odin back to BPA1 and do the bootloader unlock process twice again to get back to MM with unlocked bootloader. What's your bootloader now?
Bootloader Is locked, will try to get back to the 5.1.1 again. Thanks
Hi Sir,
Can I flash stock firmware from 910F European version (GSM) after unlocking bootloader on 910V (CDMA)? Or I need permanent root or TWRP.
Because I just want to convert it to GSM phone but full stock without any customise.
Both versions have same hardware.
Please anyone help me. Is it safe conversion?
