Hey,
So I had a friend ask me to unlock her S3, no biggie, I did it with another one (That hadn't been updated and was running 4.1.1 or something)
Following instructions online, I tried to upload a .md5 file via Odin but had the wrong version of Odin, and it failed to load. Now my download screen is showing SW REV CHECK FAIL : Fused 1 > Binary 0
As well, turning the phone on only results in "There was a problem updating the Firmware. Please run recovery mode in Kies."
Which is all fine and dandy, except Kies doesn't connect to the phone. It freezes on "Connecting..." and does not go any further.
Any help? I found another thread about it and am trying to use philz through Odin 3.07 and then flash through an external HDD the CM11.
Do you remember what stock ROM was on the phone before you used Odin?
Does the download screen say anything about warranty bit?

No clue.
Says Warranty Bit : 0
This five minute thing is a tad annoying...
Would be good to note, it is still under Warranty, and samsung offered to have it sent and fixed, however the phone is kind of needed ASAP.
I'm pretty tech-saavy, but I use Apple products generally and this is a touch foreign to me.
Odin failed to write Philz, just says WriteFail
This leads me to believe that the phone has least a 4.3 loader on the phone; therefore, you cannot unlock the phone using the free method as there is no way to get the stock 4.1.1 modem on your phone.
Is it an i747 from ATT? If it is, there is no stock ROM that can be flashed in Odin to restore the phone as ATT never released a full firmware flash for 4.3 or 4.4.2.
Any warranty left on the phone?

She doesn't even care if it's unlocked anymore, as long as we can get it working again.
I'm in Canada, so I'm assuming it is AT&T.
I believe the old OS was Jellybean 4.3. There is warranty, however she doesn't want to wait the length needed for that.

Wait, you have an i747m or i747? Big difference as cross-flashing the bootloader could hard brick the phone.

Are you sure? Is that what it says at the top of the download screen? If it does, this is easier to fix.

"odin mode"
product name : Sgh-i747m
You can download the full firmware for the phone from sammobile.com. Search for the sgh-i747. The search results should inlcude the 4.3 and 4.4.2 firmware for the i747m. Make sure you match the firmware with the carrier.
If the phone had the 4.4.2 ROM, you cannot flash the 4.3 ROM.

I'll assume there's no way to check, should I try one before the other? Will doing so screw it up further?
How much warranty is left on the phone? I'm asking because there are different ways to restore the phone.

I'm not overly sure when she purchased it.
Samsung support said the IMEI was still covered by Warranty and to just send it in, but if there's a way to do it today I would like to.
Well, to be as safe as possible, you could try flashing the 4.4.2 Kit Kat ROM from sammobile for her carrier. You may have to register to download the ROM.
Who is the carrier?
Koodoo is her carrier, i'm download both the 4.3 and 4.4.2 at the moment.
So try the 4.4.2 first?
If you go with the 4.4.2 and it flashes properly, you will not be able to go back to 4.3. I recommend using Odin 3.07.
If you try to flash 4.3 and it fails, this tells me you probably have the 4.4.2 bootloader and modem on the phone.
Whenever you flash a ROM, there is always the possibility that something will go wrong. Just be prepared to deal with any possible issues. Don't panic, we're here to help.
When using Odin, do not check anything except F.Reset Time. When you see the word Reset in the status windows, disconnect the USB cable, pull the battery, boot into recovery, wipe cache and data, reboot the phone.

Okay. So going to test with 4.4.2 once it's done downloading.
I had Auto Reboot checked before. When I turn on the phone, I can either set it in Downloading... mode or the error screen, I have absolutely nothing else. Is that the recovery screen I should be using?
To use Odin, you must boot into download mode.
When the file downloads, open Odin, connect the phone in download mode, click on the PDA button, browse to the downloaded 4.4.2 file, select it, click start.
How long does it sit on ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
Before it says reset? I'm attempting this with 4.4.2 under PDA with only F. Reset Time checked.
Hello! Now, I am a new member, And solely for one reason..
I AM UNABLE TO FIND A MODEM FLASH FOR 4.1.1 BASEBAND I317MVLUDNH2
Now, I have searched EVERYWHERE, and, all the Rom's are for the I317, and if it is for the I317M, I am unable to download for some odd reason.
Now, Here are the links i've searched through (Just incase I missed something)

http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...317-att-samsung-galaxy-note-2-on-jelly-bean-4 (links back to first link)
So, I am basically out of ideas. All i want to do is DOWNGRADE to 4.1.1, unlock the phone through the hidden menu, Then go back to 4.4.2. (Since i got the phone from a friend, and am currently using a rogers [Well, More of a Petro-Canada] Sim...)
So, Would I be okay using that Rogers flash? With Phrilz OR TWRP?? Or how would i go about this???
FIGURED IT OUT!!!
Okay, Here is a rundown on how to do it:
1. First download TWRP https://twrp.me/Devices/
2. Download the ROGERS Modem firmware http://d-h.st/rJq
3. Download Odinhttp://androidhost.org/get/PVAIv
4. Enable USB Developer Mode
5. Put the Phone into Odin download mode (Shutdown. Hold down Power+Volume Dwn+home. When the Bootsplash shows, Let go of Power button. Press Volume Up
6. Open Odin on your computer, browse to the TWRP .img (if you haven't already unzipped it, Do so) In the PDA section
7. Hit start, Wait till it is finished
8. Now, Open the phone directory in your windows manager thats built into the OS.
9. Drag the .zip into your main phone directory ( / )
10. Shutdown the phone, Hold power+Volume Up +home. Do it until bootsplash is done. (same as step 5)
11. In TWRP, select backup, then backup the MODEM folder. (I honestly forgot this step, If you have. There is links for the original baseband.)
12. Once that is backed up, You can either upload it to your desktop (i'd recommend doing that) Then, Open install, Browse for the .zip for the MODEM, then flash.
13. The system will reboot back into TWRP, just pull the battery out, and insert it back in, boot up the phone.
14. Type in your dial: *#197328640#, UMTS, DEBUG SCREEN, PHONE CONTROL, NETWORK LOCK, Then select option 4. Reboot phone
The simcard should now work!! Now, You can either install the old firmware you backed up, or just leave it.
New firmware for 4.4.2 Incase anyone Needs it: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-I317M/
Hopefully this helps anyone. It took me 5 hours to find out all this info (because the phone is a I317M, Not the non "m" version)
THANKYOU FOR ALL THE WORK OTHERS DID FOR ANY OF THESE PROGRAMS USED!!!!
THIS DOES NOT WORK ON CUSTOM ROM!!! You must have the original Stock rom, or atleast something close with the samsung stock dialer, as the code only works on those.
Thank you for your detail instructions. Recently I got a used a SGH-I317M locked to Rogers. It has firmware 4.4.2. Will it be safe to follow your instructions to flash the 4.1.1 Rogers modem only, do unlock, and then restore to the original 4.4.2 modem with twrp?
Thanks,
Howard

Yes that should work (So sorry for the late reply, I haven't been on this site since I made the post) Just make sure to backup before you do anything incase it does happen to screw up Just remember to select that last link (sammobile) and get the firmware FOR YOUR NEW CARRIER, not the old one.
I need to unlock my At&T note 2 but it is now running 5.1.1 Bliss Pop. I tried that code but of course it wont work.
I sent the IMEI number and paid to have it unlocked but the company I sent the money to said they could not unlock it either.
What would I have to do to this phone to unlock it. I am in Cananda this week and want to use this PetroCan sim card I paid for.
Thanks

Okay, this is quite simple, install TWRP as usual, but backup the MODEM you have right now for 5.1.1, Then follow through the instructions, and install the MODEM you backed up after. That shoould work, if not, try to find modems for the phone for 5.1.1, But usually, (if my computer knowledge is correct) a new OS shoould support and older modem, so, you can try 5.1.1 with a 4.4.2 modem.

I tried the rogers modem and the *#197328640# did not work.
Any other modem files you can suggest?
It appears that I have to the load original stock rom but I also read that is not possible either.

Huh.. Thats honestly really weird, It should work. Did you check the "about" section of your phone to make sure it properly installed the 4.1.1 modem?

your second link modem
it has tons of popups and when its not trying to open new windows and ask for browser access etc it downloads a "flash file" your 1.4mb download is a exe and puts up a warning.
since samsung removed the menu entery they left in by mistake on early 4.1x releases there is no way this ork to do anything but install malware and trojans from your site.

You can extract the modem from the stock 4.1.2 ROM or you can flash the entire stock ROM in Odin, unlock, and flash back to the latest stock ROM.
Hello,
I am trying to flash the newest XEF (France) SM-T830 firmware to by XEZ (Czech Republic) Tab S4 SM-T830 device, and I need a specific, fool-prood advice on how to configure the ODIN. I have done the following so far:
- Downloaded the firmware via Frija, the filename is SM-T830_1_20190409132827_lu4c5n9rxi_fac.zip
- Downloaded the latest unmodded Odin (v. 3.13.2), if I need other version, please advice which one.
- Unpacked the firmware zip archive, it contains the following four files:
AP_T830XXU2BSD1_CL15659493_QB23022378_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS9.tar.md5
BL_T830XXU2BSD1_CL15659493_QB23022378_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CSC_OMC_OXM_T830OXM2BSD1_CL15659493_QB23022378_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_OMC_OXM_T830OXM2BSD1_CL15659493_QB23022378_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
The default enabled options enabled in Odin are: Autoreboot and F. Reset Time, default disabled Odin options are Nand Erase, Repartition, Flashlock (DeviceInfo is greyed out).
My questions are:
1) What files go to which ODIN config fields (BL, AP, CP, CSC, USERDATA)? BL and AP are obvious, but the rest is not.
2) Which options should be enabled and which disabled? Is it okay to leave the default ones as described above?
3) Is there anything I should know or be wary of before starting the process?
Thank you for any relevant information in advance. Please don't bother with lectures or insults, I am interested only in constructive, helpful advice that will safely guide me through the process. I am not aspiring to be an Android hacker, I just want to flash this one firmware one time.

I used Frija to download and had no issues. Don't use a modded Odin i used the regular 3.13.1 and it worked the first time.
I used 3.13.3 and it worked perfect the first time.
I've had metro by tmobile for a while but decided to switch to straight talk. So my firmware was tmobile and after switching the sim and to straight talk there was a system update, to which I updated and it got stuck into the boot loop. I tried flashing at&t U1, U1 and sprint, it's all I had and they all failed except the sprint. It passed but continued to boot loop still. I'm at a loss. I've never had an issue flasing any US firmware on this phone. Help please! One more thing, when I boot into recovery it flashes the android then says no command and the droid guy lays down, then it goes into recovery
Here's what the bootloader screen says
I was hoping someone would help and sorry I don't do hangouts. When booting into recovery this flashes really fast. What other info do you need to help??

Hi and thank you.
I used Odin3 V 3.14.4 and the prince comsy (for the U1 firmware) versions.
I tried flashing:
G960USQU8FTJ3
G960USQS8ETH6
And the newest U1 firmware.
The U1 failed, FTJ3 (TMOBILE) failed, but ETH6(Sprint) passed but still getting a boot loop.
Samsung drivers are installed and odin is recognizing the phone. I used BL, AP, CP , and CSC.

How can i go back to stock rom? Is it just downloaded the stockrom for my S9 from sammobile and unpacked it.
Do i have to use odin update the stock rom to the phone? Is TWRP then gone after that ?
I watched already some YT movies but that makes me confused. Some people say i only need to chose the AP md5 file in Odin and some people say that i have to choose BL, AP, CP and CSC.
Which one is the right way? I don't want to kill my phone
I wanna sell the phone and bring the phone back to stock.
you just want to unroot right ?

To get rid of TWRP works imo best with Odin. Root vanishes as well.
The different methods mentioned refer to the fact that there are single stock ROM files, as well as multiple part versions.
Using either one of them (if done properly) results in a "as bought" state.
I recommend to use multiple part versions sometimes they are accessible at Sammobile.com or similar.
Did you get that?
If not, best for mine was always using Samfirm_reborn tool.
Insert model, region and check "decrypt automatically" and "factory..."
The downloaded stuff comes directly from Samsung servers.
i used the multiple part version. I didn't know about samfirm_reborn tool. Can i still do something with that? Or is it not necessary anymore.? ?

Don't know which one you got/took.
Should be the same.
Might test versions by downloading with samfirm_reborn as well.
