I have an SGH-1747 on AT&T. I already had the OTA 4.3 update on my phone and I wanted to simply wipe all of the apps off so it was a fresh 4.3 install as it was running slow. I went into the settings and did a factory wipe thinking that would wipe it back to original 4.3 but when it rebooted it hung on the AT&T screen.
I went into Recovery mode and wiped everything to factory refresh from there hoping that would fix it and it made it worse. Now when I reboot i simply get the Firmware upgrade encountered an issue and it asks me to use Kies to go into recovery mode. I did that multiple times and it never worked. Simply kept failing.
I am able to get into Download Mode but I can't seem to find a ODIN version of the 4.3 that I can try to flash it back to. I would love to go back to a 4.2 version if that would work but I stopped before I made it worse. In download mode it says
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (2 COUNTS) - Early on with 4.1 i had flash up to 4.2 using ODIN but i have on official AT&T release since
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
WARRANTY BIT = 1
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
Any advice out there? I am thinking I soft bricked my phone but I am not sure?
PLEASE HELP!
There is no stock 4.3 AT&T ROM that can be flashed via Odin. You cannot downgrade the bootloader to an older version.

Thanks for the info. I actually got it fixed by giving in and going to best buy and the Samsung guys actually were able to flash it to a fresh 4.3 image. They knew it had a non factory image on it in the past based on the counter but they still did it. I'm all fixed now which was awesome.
Hi Guys,
I have an unlock code from AT&T and I want to use it from the Stock ROM. I am currently running CM 11 nightlies.
I tried the standard method of using ODIN from PC to flash stock ROM. It doesnt seem to work. I am always stuck in ;NAND write Fail'.
Before installing CM a while ago I updated OTA to 4.3, and based on what I read everywhere this seems to have something to do with the issue.
Any help on how to proceed will be great.
I am using ODIN 3.07
Downloaded Stock ROM from sammobile.
This is what my download screen reads.
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (2 Counts)

Thanks!
Once you have the 4.3 bootloader, you cannot use Odin to install a stock AT&T ROM. You can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486

Thanks! I will take a look. Hopefully I can unlock my device at some point.
Was able to unlock based on the lead from post #2
I've been trying to unroot and go back to stock for a couple of days now with no luck. I was running latest Omni and TWRP. When I try to flash via Odin it says FAILED then reboot hangs on Samsung GN2 screen. When I go to "Downloading..." screen it shows:
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1
AP SWREV: A3
SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 1
I wish I could help but I am having a similar issue. If you have had any success with this please let me know what you have found. Good luck!
Y`all need to ODIN flash a firmware version that does not have the boot.IMG. You most likely have a firmware version that has a locked boot loader.
MK6 or the latest NE5 are such animals.
You also need to add more info for people to help. Like where Odin failed, why you are flashing back, what version of Odin, etc.
Makes it easier to tell you a possible solution.
I had no issues coming back to stock after running pretty much all the 4.4 AOSP roms, going to sell the device so I wanted to sell it stock.
I was on the MC3 or LJ2 bootloader, not sure which one but I rarely, if ever, change radios. I first went back to TW 4.1 using Odin and following the steps on this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275844

cf-auto root, or flash SuperSU with custom recovery.
T999LUVUBNF4 Root
Hey, I've been trying to root my S3 running the T999LUVUBNF4 firmware, but I'm having trouble. Towelroot doesn't support it, I haven't seen anything about a Root66, and I've heard mixed reports on CF-auto root. Does anyone know if there is a workable solution yet? How would I go about flashing SuperSU? Thanks.
Okay I've recently just flashed the root66 firmware that gave me supersu and all that.
My question is... Where do i go from here?
How would i proceed to
1) Install TWRP?, which version as well? Is 2.8 d2tmo fine? Can i have some instructions whether i use TWRP manager(goomanager doesn't seem to exist anymore) or do i have to go into download and flash through odin 3.09?
2) Installing a custom rom? I want to install Paranoid Android 4.6 beta 5 for D2lte but i'm not sure how to go about it. I have already downloaded the rom itself but not sure how to proceed from here. Also, how would i get the working and latest version of Gapps? (Also, can you tell me how to install Cyanogenmod 11 for d2lte as well?)
3) What are some cool apps to get?
4) Which root apps/roms/softwares will brick my phone? I'm never sure which thing will work and which won't.
5) how do i install xposed?
6) How do i remove all the bloatware? and how would i got about flashing through my phone without using the computer? is mobile odin compatible with my phone?
My phone is the SGH-T999L and i have no idea if i have a locked bootloader and how i would go about and bypass the limitations of this locked bootloader

Please don't post the same thing on multiple threads. Not being rude but it doesn't help at all
Rooting SGH-T99L with T999LUVUBNF4
I've read most of the more recent posts, and it is still unclear to me how to root my T999L which is already on the T999LUVUBNF4 baseband and build. I've seen references to cf-auto-root (like serio22 above), but the T999 (which I believe works for T999L) is based on T999UVALEM, which is 4.0.4 ICS. I certainly don't want to downgrade that far. The latest firmware on the first page of this Root66 thread is T999L_UVUBNC1, and there was a post indicating better reception with the newer modem, so I'd rather not downgrade that either. If I flash T999L_UVUBNC1 will my baseband remain intact (BNF4)? Or should I wait for a pre-rooted T999L_UVUBNF4? Or is there a better way altogether to root my T999L/BNF4?
Also, for other n00bs reading this, it's pretty clear that towelroot doesn't work on BNF4.
Thanks!!

rooted Windmobile 4.4.4
anyone have 4.4.? for wind mobile what ever is the new one stock that is rooted ?
I tried flashing UVDLJC - UVDMD5 (latest OTA update) using Multiboot Recovery v2.2 - (twrp2.8.3.0)
When flashing directly onto blank partition, I got some error about missing build.prop, and so decided to try flashing on top of stock ROM.
Stock I have installed as Flash PureStock Rom + Secure UVAMB7 Kernel (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43772060&postcount=3) -- again, in multiboot -- and tried installing OTA on top of that. Got "error executing updater binary in zip"
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
slimkat v9 to stock tw
Please help me. I have a sgh-t999. I want to know is it safe to install stock tw t999_uvuenc2. I'm currently running slimkat v9. My baseband is t999uvuenc2 and my android version is 4.4.4 i really want my s3 to revert back to stock. Ive been asking to the roms posted in this unit if it safe to direct flash but i havent got a good advice. I really want the stock touchwiz. Pls help me.
Which firmware to use
After I un-bricked my SGH-T999 with the debrick image sdcard ( YAYYY), I was able to boot with the stock 4.3 rom again.
I reflash the root66 4.3 firmware hoping it could get the correct boot image back in place. However it got stuck at the Samsung logo.
So I went into stock recovery and did a wipe/factory reset. Now I can still boot with the debrick sdcard but I am back in JellyBean (4.1.2 T999UVDMD5).
Which firmware should I flash 4.3 or 4.1.2? And did I miraculously downgraded my firmware ( I thought it wasn't possible) ?

ODIN MODE
Product name: SGH-I317
Custom Binary Download: YES (10 Counts)
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1
RP SWREV: A2
When I try to load a stock rom via Odin, it will go all the way to the end before it errors and show in Red "unsupported"
I would appreciate any help you have on this. I am totally lost but if anyone can fix it, you guys can, Thanks in advance
after doing a little research, i was able to load TWRP recovery, a pre-rooted stock rom of 4.3 and the 4.3 bootloader all though ODIN and got the phone back up and running. My next question is, with my knox warranty showing 1, what are my options as far as roms go? Am i stuck with the stock 4.3 ?

There are 4.4.2 ROMS in the Android Development threads. Remember to do backups before flashing

If you can get into download mode, can flash 2.8.1.3 twrp via Odin.
Download the latest TWRP from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/t0lte
Copy a custom ROM to your external SD card.
Flash TWRP via Odin. Boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, flash ROM from external SD card, reboot.
