Just want to confirm I wont brick my wife's phone. She is currently running SlimRom 4.4.4 on a I747m and I want to put the STOCK Koodo 4.4.2 Rom from Sammobile on there..
Can I just use Odin to flash it or????

Yes, you should be fine flashing stock 4.4.2 via Odin.

I got an i747m for my brother. It was running stock 4.1.2 which I downgraded to 4.1.1, unlocked using the free menu method, and upgraded to a rooted stock 4.1.2.
Is it possible to load TWRP via odin and flash 4.3 or 4.4 ROMs (stock of CM-based) without flashing to stock 4.3 first? If I do flash a custom CM-based 4.3 or 4.4, will this upgrade the phone's bootloader to 4.3 as well?
I'm asking because I want to avoid tripping the knox counter on the phone as it is brand new.
I apologize if these sound like newbie questions. I did a search and could not find an answer.
Thanks for your time.
Can i manually update/flash in with oden stock 4.3 android straight from my 4.1.1? Or do i have to get that middle update 4.1.2???
If you have the ATT s3 i747, no because there is no stock ROM for the i747. You would have to find a 4.3 ROM that was compiled to be flashed via Odin.
Hi first of all I want to ask that I had stock 4.1.2 when I bought the phone, rooted it, flashed mj5 bootloader and successfully flashed the xperia z-ized rom based on 4.3 on my N7100. Then I wished to switch to dn3 rom but I still did not like it so I reverted back to stock 4.1.2 and updated to stock 4.4.2 via OTA updates. My question is, while updating via OTA to stock 4.4.2, can it be possible that I lost my mj5 bootloader and it was replaced by samsung's proprietary bootloader?
After using stock 4.4.2 I thought to check out the LS rom so I rooted, flashed philz recovery but the ROM does not boot at all and while trying to revert back to stock 4.1.2, ODIN displays the fail message. What did I do wrong and what should I do to overcome this? Thanks.
You've locked your bootloader because you upgraded to latest official which also comes with Knoxx.
My SGH-T999 currently has slimkat 4.4.4 I have searched through this thread to see if it possible to go back down to back down to 4.3, however it appears that the because 4.4.4 has new bootloader this cannot be done and could brick the phone due to knox? Can anyone confirm this for me?
Are you looking to flashing the stock full firmware or a custom rom? You only flashed a 4.4.4 ROM not firmware, and there is no official 4.4.4 for any of our S3 variants, only 4.4.2. T999 doesn't even have a 4.4.2 update as of now, so you can go back to 4.3 firmware if you would like

Yes, I'm trying to flash back to the 4.3 stock image. Basically I have rooted, and flashed a custom Rom (slimkat) and I would like to back to the stock experience.

I'm running 4.3 but want to upgrade to official 4.4 or any stock firmware that's snappier than 4.3, don't know much since I just got the phone and I've already rooted it with twrp recovery...
Confused about what to flash, please help
For stock 4.4.2, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ile-sgh-i747ucufne4v4-4-2attall-odin-t3305899
Thank you for the link but I'm still confused how... Should I just odin the firmware or what
Yes, the files are flashed via Odin in the appropriate slots.
