So, I'm not a complete noob to flashing roms/rooting devices. I flashed cm 11 to my s3, and decided I wanted to go back to stock via Odin. For some reason when I tried to turn on my device it was still showing the cm 11 splash screen and wouldn't proceed any further. It isn't technically bricked. I guess this would be classified as a boot loop to the nth degree. I tired to boot in recovery mode and wipe the cache partition and all user data to the same cm 11 robot taunting me. When I tried the process (flashing stock vi Odin) again to possibly fix whatever might have been a miss, I got the error message on the download screen "secure check fail: sb12." On the download mode screen it also says I am running the official system rom. I don't know what steps I need to take from here to get my phone to actually boot via the stock rom. Has anybody else had this issue or similar? Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
Is your phone a i747? If you are you running a stock 4.3 bootloader on your i747, you can't use Odin to flash back to stock unless the ROM was specifically designed to be flashed in Odin.
What is shown on the screen in download mode?

I was under the impression the rom I was attempting to flash was indeed intended for Odin. It is the SGH-I747.
The download screen states,
Product Name: SGH-I747
Custom Binary: Custom
System Status: Official
Qualcom Secure Boot: Enable
Warranty Bit: 1
Bootloader AP SWERV: 2
Here is an added bit of fun, in the midst of the process I accidentally checked "Nand erase all," in Odin at one point.
Based on the information provided, your phone is running a stock ATT 4.3 bootloader. The CM11 splash screen is still showing up because the flash did not actually happen. You're lucky your phone was not bricked in the process of using Odin. I recommend not using Odin to flash a ROM that tries to alter the bootloader.
I recommend flashing a custom recovery such as Philz Touch in Odin and flashing a different KK ROM such as Valudis.

My next question would be how can I move the zip files I download to the internal storage of my phone to flash them through Philz Touch?

I did. It said the the device couldn't be updated, or something to that effect.
Kies will not work without a stock recovery or a rooted phone from my experience.
I would be surprised if kies can restore your phone as ATT never released a full 4.3 stock ROM. ATT only made 4.3 available via an OTA update.

I don't know about AT&T, but I'm on Telus in Canada and I used kies to revert back to stock 4.3 with CWM recovery and phone rooted, and it worked no problem.

So, I know there is a "thanks," button but I feel like that would be a little too informal for how much I appreciate your help! I downloaded ADB to move the rom (I went with AOKP because it was the first one that worked) to my phone, flashed it using TWRP and...BAM! We are back in business. Thanks for the direction, I thought I had a nice, new, shiny brick on my hands for about two days.

Canadian carriers use the i747m while att users get the i747.
The Canadian carriers did release a full 4.3 ROM unlike att who did not.
I got Rogers Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-I747M.
On it is installed Cyanogenmod 11 20140531 nighty d2lte with Android 4.4.2.
I found this firmware : Canada (Rogers) (Black Edition) , 2012 May , I747MVLALE8
PDA: I747MVLALH1 CSC: I747MOYBALH1 MODEM: I747MVLLH1
and program Odin3-v3.09.
The phone is locked to Rogers.
The color is white.
My goal is to unlock SIM lock.
1. Can I put firmware in zip format on SD card and just restore from SD card in recovery mode?
2. If no, what steps to do to reach the goal to get 4.1.1 stock ROM (rogers? telus? att?) to unlock SIM lock?
3. Maybe I have to do it from laptop with Odin or from the phone with Odin?
4. What are my options to get the goal 4.1.1. stock to get unlock SIM lock because I found free solution with that requirements on XDA forum?
Is there any 4.4.x custom rom for samsung gt-s6312
Sent from my GT-S6312 using XDA Free mobile app
What bootloader is on your phone? If you have the stock 4.3 bootloader, you will have to purchase an unlock code.
Boot into download and look at the text on the screen. Do you see anything about warranty bit?

You have the 4.3 bootloader which can't be downgraded; therefore, you will have to buy an unlock code.

Thank you for reply!
Than more I know than more questions:
a) The ROM I found here is stock ROM 4.3 I can revert to -? -> by meanhacker -> Rogers (RWC) MK5 , because I checked about baseband version is i747mvluemk5.
b) I bought the code and when inserted non-accepted active SIM card from my another carrier, got the window asking PIN to unlock network , entered and got unsuccessful. The company said is right unlock code by IMEI sure.
So my question is does the particular Cyanogenmod 11-20140531-nighty-d2lte custom firmware prevent somehow to unlock SIM lock?
c) Do I have this KNOX issue or not, or is it prevent to downgrade ?
d) I found some KNOX remover can I apply it and downgrade after?
You should revert to a stock 4.3 ROM in order to use the unlock code.
There is a 4.3 ROM for Rogers you can use . search for a pre_rooted ROM on xda.

And that one has no knox issues and after flashing I can downgrade?
For the purpose to enter unlock code can I use only stock ROM from Rogers or I can flash any 4.3 ROM like from Bell, Telus, or , even ATT?

You cannot downgrade your bootloader.
Do not load any ROM via Odin that is older than 4.3. Don't load any att ROM as that could brick your phone too.
Was your phone ever running stock kit kat?

ANDROID 4.4.2 that is a state i got the phone. past is unknown for me.
now i put zip noknox rooted telus file ROM_I747MVLUEKM5_STOCK_ROOTED_TELUS_NO-KNOX
on sd card
after went to recovery mode and did wipe,reset,dalvik wipe and choosed the file to install
got error installation aborted (status 7)
I don't have KK on my i747m. I loaded the stock 4.1.2 ROM and went straight to a custom 4.4 ROM.
Did you ever have the stock 4.4 ROM on your phone? If you did, I'm not sure if you can load a stock Rogers 4.3 ROM via Odin because the stock 4.4 ROM may have altered the 4.3 bootloader. The stock Rogers 4.3 ROM from sammobile.com and the pre-rooted ROM on XDA will load a stock 4.3 bootloader if flashed via Odin. You could flash a stock ROM via mobile Odin which does not alter the bootloader.
Once you are on the 4.3 bootloader, you cannot downgrade the bootloader regardless of whether you do or do not have Knox.
If you are sure you never had the stock 4.4 ROM on your phone, you could use Odin to load a stock Rogers 4.3 ROM, unlock your phone, go back to a custom ROM.
When flashing a ROM or altering your phone's software, there is always the risk of bricking your phone. Just be prepared to deal with a possible brick.

How I can check version of boot loader installed on my device?

I747MVLUEKM5
But I solved problem to revert back to stock ROM using file I747MVLUEMK5_I747MOYBEMK5_TLS
been installing not from SD card but using laptop and Odin.
After I boot the phone I put SIM card and on pop-upped window entered official unlock code.
For using Odin program, I downloaded from internet vmware fusion, after found my cd disk with windows 7 ultimate and installed it.
After installed Odin and transferred above file to internal system and put the phone in downloaded mode connected and after a few minutes I get my phone booted with stock ROM.
What I surprised I did not find official page in Wiki of Cyanogenmod for official way to uninstall their product.
So I decided not to install the software that does not have official uninstallation tool. They have installation program only.
It's not good for us regular users. Before to come into the dark room usually it has to have to see exit way clearly.

I know of no custom ROM that can completely uninstall itself. One of best ways to revert back to stock is to flash via Odin which you were able to do.
Once I got the upgrade bug, I don't stick with stock for too long.
Congratulations on your success:good:
Hi everyone, I just upgraded to the SGS4(M919) from the LG G Stylo.
I haven't been a part of an active development community in awhile, coming from the Stylo where there was 0 development for my variant(No Unlock for Bootloader). I haven't developed anything nor really done anything with samsungs since the SDX-Days when the Captivate was popular.
So my question is where the heck do I start?
Model: M919
OS: 4.4.2
BB: M919UVUFNB4
The in Call screen really bothers me and my husband got a s5(the only one they had) that's 1000 time better ascetically.
TIA, Kristi
Also I see that some have bootloader lock. I have a m919 but it is NOT T-mobile My phone is a unbranded factory unlocked. I bought I brand new from aarons
The m919 does not have a locked bootloader.
To confirm the exact model #, boot the phone into download mode.
If it is an sgh-m919. I would run OTA updates until the phone is running a stock 4.4.4 ROM. This will ensure the modem and bootloader are up to date.
Next, I would flash TWRP via Odin. Once TWRP is up and running, select a custom ROM and use TWRP to flash a custom ROM of your choice.

Download mode, sticker, and settings confirms SGH-M919 however it says at 4.4.2 is the latest version
I believe 4.4.4 is the latest: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-M919/

Are there any recovery images/boot image with sgs5 off line charging screen? I have cm13 and cwm touch recovery but when I flashed cwm charging animation looks like something from a palm pilot from 2002
What is the model # for the s5? I would not recommend using CWM as it has not been updated for a long time. Try TWRP. I believe the charging animation is based on the ROM.
What happened with flashing the s4?

Question, is Odin the only way to install TWRP?
I have some down time at work
Odin is not the only way to flash twrp but I find it to be the easiest and most efficient way.
I think other methods require a rooted phone with and some sort of rom manager app.
Hello
I was on 5.1.1(G920PVPU3BOJ7) and have root and twrp installed. I make nandroid backup and use odin to install stock android 6.0.1(G920PVPS4CPJ1). Now for some reason I want to go back to 5.1.1 but odin failed to install stock 5.1.1(SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 4, BINARY 3) and also restoring backup using twrp stay in boot logo. It seems newer bootload does not allow downgrading.
Is there any solution?
Thanks in advance
I also tried downgrading to 5.1.1 from 6.0.1 through odin and was unsuccessful. I tried a few different 5.0\5.1 versions and they all failed as u mentioned. Someone has mentioned there is an anti-downgrade protection added to PI0 and newer.
I was able to flash an older modem from OJ7 using flash fire and it worked but that was just the modem I didnt go any farther trying to flash more parts from 5.1 firmware.using flash fire.
Flashing only modem is not enough. I want to completly back to 5.1.1 to be able unlock sim card.
Funny that u say that I was in the same boat. on PI3 and was trying the downgrade to unlock sim. I tried wondershare android sim unlock and unlockbase sim unlock software. both failed. I ended up coughing up the $35 to idoneapps and it worked first try and only takes a few minutes, pricey but super fast.
Is it possible? Tried this using latest Odin with "failed (auth)" error. It seems Active is using boot loader version 2 while the other models are using version 4 already. However I thought boot loader upgrade is allowed?
Thanks.
I'm looking for the answer. Hope we get help...
what are you wanting from a stock Verizon firmware ?
If you're trying to flash a regular S7 firmware onto an Active you're asking for a bricked phone.
I'm looking to remove bloatware. It's been done on all other S7 variants.
flash the combination file then flash the csc from the verizon s7 g930v using mobile odin then dial *#243203855# and choose the vzw then choose full installation then flash the stock firmware back
Can your further explain? Will this flash Verizon firmware?
