Hi guys, I have T999 I am on Likewise 4.1 dtmo and currently on the T999UVUENC2 modem/bootloader, which is version 4.3. I have not updated my phone in a while and now I'm searching the forums and have 2 questions:
1. Should I update my bootloader/modem to T999UVUEOH1? I have read that it fixed the stagefright bug. (I found it on sammobile)
2. Some ROMs in the ATT section, such as the S3 R3ARMED, which is also made for T999, call for the use of a 4.4 modem and bootloader, but there is no such thing available to us. How can I proceed to avoid a brick?
Thanks!
I just updated it and there is nothing new. Just keep calm and stay at NC2, i will test it's performance and battery life
Hey I have the same model but I ruined my stock ROM can u please help me provide ur firmware.

Why don't you download the stock rom from SamMobile?
Btw, this stock rom is WAYYYYY better than NC2. Better performance and very good battery life

I had recently obtained a s3 its a T-mobile, its running 4.1.2, with the T999UVDMD5 baseband. I rooted it, flashed xposed(haha the only thing XD). Well, reading about/friends have said there was trouble with the 4.3 update so I decided to stay on 4.1.2.
However, now I've decided to flash a custom rom, and I have noticed the different labels(D2lte, D2tmo, D2usa) and I had read from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736477 "As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants" .
I have a few questions:
1.There was a baseband update, should I update it? If so, how exactly?
2.Would it be wise to flash a D2lte on This T-mobile device? I was looking at Resurrectionhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692481(originally waiting on cm11 but.. Yeah lol)
3.Looking at KitKat rooms, which ones could I flash?
4.Would it be safe, if I did flash a 4.4.2 to restore a nandroid backup of my fresh rooted stock 4.1.2.
5.Lastly, what kernel would you say use?(Sorry to ask, curiosity as to which i could flash)
I appreciate taking your time to answer my questions and have a good day!
1) custom recovery.. There are zips available to flash
2) d2lte covers all d2 devices so its safe
3)Any on the development threads
4) Yes
5) like on 3, you can flash any kernel in the development threads, experiment and see which one works the best for you!

To answer your questions:
1. You do not need to update your firmware - I'm still on MD5. Modems, however, can be flashed separately from firmware.
2. You can flash d2lte ROMs on this phone as it's all one unified build for US SGS3 variants. (I.e. T-Mobile/AT&T/Sprint/Verizon SGS3 is now all built under d2lte).
3. As far as which KK ROM to flash...just try them all out and see which ones you like the best. Each ROM has different features - see which one is right for you.
4. If you don't update your firmware, then yes. (FYI, flashing a custom KK ROM does not update your firmware. However, if you flash one of the 4.3 root66 files that has firmware included, then it will update your firmware).
5. Again, try it out. It's hard to say which ROM/kernel combination will work best. I suggest you read the forums to see what people think of them.
Hope that helps.

No problem, and i forgot to say but the only time you might need to update modem is if you flash a 4.3 touchwiz ROM, other than that its not really needed unless you want to experiment and see if one gives you better results

Oh, and one more thing: DO NOT flash a ROM that is for the international version of the SGS3 (i9300). It will, most definitely, brick your phone.
Don't know if you knew that or not...just wanted to make sure.
Hello all XDA members especially in our beloved Note 2 community :good:
I've owned my Note 2 since it's first launch.. I'm satisfied and proud to have one of the best phone ever made from Samsung. :good:
I have questions related to downgrading process, just want to confirm the process coz I don't want to brick my Note 2.
My mighty Note 2 is on Omega V.28, 4.4.2 Android Version with MJ5 bootloader and latest TWRP. I want to downgrade to 4.1.2 as I missed the 4.1.2 balance among performance and battery life.
My question are :
1. Can I just flash Omega V.18 (4.1.2) or the others 4.1.2 custom rom (not interested in stock rom ) directly from TWRP ?
2. Won't that procedure brick my phone ?
3. Will I lost my imei and signal ?
4. Can I flash existing modem to fix lost imei (XXUENA) ? Will it compatible with 4.1.2 (Omega V.18) ?
Thanks all for the answer an comments.. :good:
Cheers for Note 2

As long as you are on MJ5 bootloader you can flash 4.1.2 custom ROM via custom recovery.If you lose signal flash any of the modems either from hurricane modem changer or your current one if you have a flashable zip file for that.

I used to be on JellyKat v2,v3,v4 ever since i rooted my note 2.When official KK released i wanted to stay close to stock so i tried phantom v1 then and then for all s5/note3/note 2 looks i am using DN3 V5+.I do switch to AOSP roms in between when i get tired of TW.For now DN3v5+ is what I've been using .
Hi,
where can i found all Bootloaders/Kernaels/Modems list with Date for I747 & I747M?!
And which Ver. is compatible to 4.1.1/4.1.2/4.3+ so i won't brick it.
If i upgrate from 4.1.1 on I747 (I747UCDLK3) to other custom roms 4.3+
I have to flash new Bootloader & Kernael & Modem if i come from 4.1.1 ?!
what if i want to downgrade back to Stock 4.1.1 the Latest firmware from Samsung (no 4.1.2 on sammobile ,can i upgreat to 4.1.2 ?)
what I don't have to flash if i want to go back to 4.1.1 ?
as far as i know if i flash I747UCUEMJB bootloader i can't go back to 4.1.1/4.1.2 it will 100% chance you will brick your device.
about Modems: i know about S3 I9300 if a upgrate to new modems that for 4.3+
i can't go back becasue it will wipe my EFS/IMEI,
is that ture if i flash the new modem I747UCUEMJB it will work with 4.1.1?
Update: i found Modems list

thank you, but as you can see i update the post when that i found a part of the list..
the Kernels only for 4.3 i looking list for all Kernels from 4.1.1 - 4.3+
what I don't have to flash if i want to go back to 4.1.1 Bootloader/Kernael/Modem ?
My main concern what will brick my device if i try downgrade?!
Bootloader :4.3+ bootloader - YES!
I747UCUEMJB - Oct 11, 2013 + I747MVLUEMK5 - Nov 5, 2013
Do not attempt to downgrade from this bootloader. Doing so will brick your device.
Modems: ?
i know about S3 I9300 if a upgrate to new modems that for 4.3+
i can't go back becasue it will wipe my EFS/IMEI even brick ,is that ture if i flash the new modems for 4.3+
like I747UCUEMJB can i go back to 4.1.1 and flash old modem?
Kernaels ?: ?
Anyone have list of all 4.1.1-4.4.4 Kernaels?
Q:
Only the Latest Bootloader & Modem & Kernael will work on 4.3-4.4.4 (Stock base & CM 11) ?
First stay away from everythingfor the i9300!
Second, this is the 3rd time ive seen you post this. Please only post your question only once. There is just no need to have the same thing over and over again.
More posts/threads will not get you any better or faster answers. If anything it wil accomplish the exact opposite.
Hello. today i hard bricked my galaxy s3 (assuming its hard bricked it wont turn on or go in recovery or download mode)
so here is what i did i live in Jamaica and im using a att model s3 i wanted to update to the latest firmware cause i was stuck on 4.1.1 so i searched the internet and finally found the update for 4.3 tried flashing it thru odin every thing went fine and dandy phone rebooted little green android guy showed up n the green bar was running across the screen...all of a sudden s3 shuts off...and guess what yup now it wont turn on...
i have moderate experience with flashing roms and such I've soft bricked and fixed before
any help before i go out spending money to fix this would be greatly appreciated .
not very knowledgeable about odin (only used it once to root my S3) , but might be some help in this thread. good luck.

glad to hear your up and running. just remember that you CANNOT downgrade firmware or it will most certainly become a jtag brick.
IMHO the only reason to upgrade firmware is if the ROM i want to flash requires it , and even then i would think twice. just my two cents.:good:

thanks for the advice don't think i'll risk it for an update 4.4.2
i just didn't like the feel of 4.1.1 thanks again
although...... i did eventually upgrade my firmware from mj2 to NE4. only difference i found was had to change updater scripts in older ROMs in order to flash them. again , my ¢2.

I completely agree with mrrocketdog on this.
Additionally, remaining on the 4.3 bootloaders should not prevent you from running KitKat ROMs. Many of the TouchWiz based KitKat ROMs state in the first post that you can run them on 4.3 firmware, with that caveat that you may need a custom kernel. Two kernels that work are the ones by Ktoonsez and ibuddler. ( ibuddler doesn't have a separate thread, but I linked to the Likewise ROM, which has links in the OP to his kernel. KToonsez has versions for TW and AOSP/CM ROMs in his thread. ) BTW, the ROMs will run on 4.3 but the custom kernel is needed to enable wifi and maybe bluetooth.
In some of the threads that start with saying you must be on the latest firmware there are posts in the thread of people running them while on 4.3 firmware and modem. I have seen people on CM11 and equivalent AOSP ROMs using 4.3 firmware. To play with Lollipop ROMs (5.0) you may be forced into updating past the 4.3 firmware.

ok stupid question but something i've been curious about and always forget to google it when i have spare time.....kernels.....explain them in the most tech savy way possible such as pros n cons and such cause im having an issue with my phone being stuck on edge and its not the rom or modem.
Hey! I've been spending hours reverting my rom to stock and doing my OTAs to get to lollipop.
My phone is a Bell M8 with S-ON. I am currently up to 4.4.4 and about to do the Lollipop update. I am aware I should do sunshine on 4.4.3 but am broke right now so was just thinking of waiting until it works on Lollipop.
That being said, the current Bell OTA for Lollipop is version 4.20.666.1 (awesome numbers btw) and most roms say I need firmware 4.16.x.x.
My question is, will those roms work properly on this firmware? Or should I go back to 4.4.3 and use sunshine (I am impatient and want lollipop now, but stock roms suck.)
Thanks for the help!
edit: I found this advice in a rom thread
In future Rom releases, you may stick with your region’s firmware as long as that firmware is from the current released base, such as 5.0.1, 5.0.2, etc.
Firmware flashing is not required for every Rom update. Most of the time it is best to remain on your phone’s native firmware for best signal reception, battery life, and overall performance.

So does that mean as long as the rom is the same version 5.0.x that I should be fine?
Ya you should be fine tuning that firmware with the Rom... Can I ask you to also please upload the ota for us ...I've been looking for it all around

Where do I find it I haven't update yet.. I'd you can tell me where it is located I can extract and upload it.
I have a TWRP backup of it. Would that work or probably not since the firmware isn't there.
