Upgrading SGH-T999 from 4.1.2 to 4.3 advice

SpellingHello,
I rooted my 4.1.2 SGH-T999 by CWM , then unlocked it by downgrading the modem , unlocking and then upgrading to 4.1.2 .
When I checked for OTA updates the phone says" my device has been modified. software updates are not available. "
How can I get back the option of getting the OTA updates? If so, will I lose root? And also while I am on 4.1.2 is there any things else I can do that are simpler to do than when on 4.3?
Thank you.

May I suggest first reading up on the serious issues caused by accepting OTA updates. If you still really wish to go down that path, then use Odin to go back to stock before accepting OTA.

I guess since the phone is out of warranty and kind of old, it probably won't get that many updates in the future. In that case, I can leave everything as is.
With the configuration I have now: Unlocked at 4.1.2 , CWM 5.5.0.4, how do I update the phone to the latest one available on this site? Do I use odin ( PDA and which flags ) , or load it in SD card and run it from recovery? Doing either one, do I lose root or not, and how to get it rooted again, same way I did it the first time.?
Thank you guys for your assistance , this is the first time ever I am making changes to a phone.

StockMod Rom comes as a Zip. Put it on SD card and Flash via CWM. That's not CWM's latest version.
So if you keep getting errors (Status 7) while trying to flash, then you will need to update CWM.
Latest is 6.0.4.5 over here. Alternately, get Rom Manager to update as well.

Would I lose unlocked if I flash the modem and use Stockmod or Stockmod Custom ROMs?
Do these ROMs come with WiFi tethering?
I am slowly learning, Installed ROM manager from AP store, and updated the CWM to the latest..
I have to flash the modem first, should I reboot then Flash Stockmod or do both one after the other?
Thanks.

I believe StockMod will support WiFi Calling. You will have to try and find out. As to the Modem, you can flash both one after the other and that's fine. When it comes to modems, I personally reboot after a modem flash to see how the signal is like.
Sometimes, some of the modem don't work well in my geographical area. If the modem is a precursor to the Rom, then I'd flash the modem, then check and then flash the rom. After Rom is up and running, I may go back to original modem.

The reason I asked is because on the development page where the Stockmod is , it says to " Flash T999UVUEMJC Modem
Flash ROM , Reboot and Enjoy "
My other question was about sim unlocked. I downgraded modem, did the unlocked routine, upgraded back to 4.1.2 modem. Now if I flash modem and ROM, would the SIM Unlocked status stay or I have to unlock all over. The whole reason I got here was to unlock and root for WiFi hotspot.
Thank you again for walking me through this.

The phone will stay unlocked despite change of modem or Rom. You can try flashing the rom directly without the modem. I don't think there may be issues. Of course you can flash modem if it didn't work. Put the modem on your external sd when you download Rom.

It doesn't matter.. But you do need the new modem or you won't pick up signal on 4.3

[Q] APN not listed and cannot add

I was on CM 10.2.1
I upgraded to CM11 - I get no wireless data. My phone works but I have no APNs and I could not add them.
I tried SlimKat 9.0 same issue with the APN
I upgraded my CWM to 6.4.0.7 as I heard that caused issues when upgrading to CM11.
I bought Mobile Odin and flashed that way as I thought it might help.
Ive done the following to fix my APN
1) Loaded an old one from working CM 10.2.1
2) Run Root Tweak with the fix APN for CM11 checked
3) Done the airplane mode trick
4) Attempt to add one manually
Does anyone know why this is happening and more importantly how to correct this issue?
Yes I did pore through other threads on how to fix this but no avail.
Thank you

What is your bootloader and modem? Do you get data if you re-install your previous ROM?

Bootloader = I747UCDLK3

Yes I get data when I load a backup of CM 10.2.1
Thanks

Data does not work on ROMs beyond cm10.2 because your bootloader and modem to too old.
I recommend flashing back to stock 4.1.1, sim unlock your phone if it is not already sim unlocked, and run OTA updates to at least 4.3, then install recovery and CM11.

Thanks for the quick reply. That sounds hard. From what I'm reading going back is treacherous.
So these are the steps.
1. Load this firmware via ODIN -> I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.zip -- What about gapps? Is that in this zip?
2. Run triangle away. (Do I need to do this?)
3. Contact my carrier to unlock my sim. (If this is carrier unlocking ie taking my att phone to Sprint etc, why is this needed?)
4. Get OTA updates. Will this come automagically because I'm on 4.1.1 and does it matter if my flash counter is gt 1?
5. Root phone via Odin with this file CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747.tar.md5.
6. Install CWM if it went away when I went back to firmware - Of course it would because I'll factory reset my phone in step 1.
7. Flash away to a 4.4.4 Rom
Did I miss anything?
Step 4 is the one that scares me -- That one is out of my control. Either I get the OTA or I dont. Anyway I can "request" the OTA?
Thanks again
Be Well

From your custom ROM, run triangle away to reset counter and change things back to official.
Now flash back to stock 4.1.1 using Odin. If your phone does not boot, you need to get into recovery, do a factory reset, and reboot the phone and go through the set up routine.
After loading stock 4.1.1, do this to sim unlock your phone for free: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529200. If you have a code from ATT, you must be running a stock ROM or a custom ROM that is based on a stock Samsung ROM in order to enter the unlock code.
You must be on a stock ROM in order to take OTA updates. OTA updates are the safest way to obtain an updated bootloader and modem.
After updating to 4.3, you cannot downgrade the bootloader as doing so may brick the phone.
The choice is yours in terms of what you want to do. As you found out, some ROMs will not function properly without an updated bootloader and modem. Mixing modem and bootloader versions may also result in a bricked phone.

To stick with 10.2 or not to that is the question. Everytime I flash or do anything like this on my phone - I get a small lump in my throat knowing I'm dancing in the razors edge of bricking it.

I know how you feel, but I've done it enough times and just accept the fact that I may brick the phone. Jtag service would cost me around $75 so I'm willing to take the chance. I'd be less willing if the phone still has warranty.
Flashing back to stock and running OTA updates is the safest route.
If you don't sim unlock while on stock 4.1.1 and you want to sim unlock your phone in the future, you will need to be on a stock or virtually stock ROM in order to enter the unlock code.

Used ODIN to go back to stock 4.1.1.
Got the OTA update to 4.3
I have my MMS and cellular data back
I'll stick on stock, unrooted 4.3 for a minute.
I should be available to root and update to CM11 or SlimKat or any 4.4 rom whenever I so desire and still keep cellular data.
My baseband is I747UCUEMJB. How can I find out my bootloader and modem versions on UNROOTED device?
Your help is much appreciated and your instructions were flawless.

In a terminal or adb shell you can enter this to check your bootloader:
Code:
getprop ro.bootloader
In a terminal or adb shell you can enter this to check your modem (should match the baseband your phone reports in About):
Code:
getprop gsm.version.baseband
I don't believe either of these commands require root unless stock has getprop locked down tighter that AOSP ROMs; I just entered them in a user shell.
There are a couple of firmware updates for your device beyond MJB, NE4 and NJ1. Some users, myself included, had GPS problems that were a bit of a pain to fix on newer 4.4 AOSP based ROMs with the MJB firmware, but data was ok with MJB. Also, you'll need newer firmware if you decide to test drive the lollipop alphas that are floating around. There are custom recovery flashable firmware updates on XDA from a trusted developer if you decide you need that, or you might want to take a couple more OTAs if you're more comfortable going that route. You're already on MJB so there's no going back

The terminal worked
Bootloader and baseband = I747UCUEMJB
What???? I might need more updates for all the roms out there.....ugggh.
"There are custom recovery flashable firmware updates on XDA from a trusted developer if you decide you need that, or you might want to take a couple more OTAs if you're more comfortable going that route."
If I decide to use these flashable firmware updates on XDA from a trusted developer or OTA its same as this: going forward and NEVER going backward when getting firmware updates?, yes?

yes. downgrading bootloader will almost certainly cause a brick.

You guys are on point.
Last night I received another OTA to 4.4.2.
Baseband now at NE4.
Thanks again for taking the time to answer all this -- Really really appreciate it.
EDIT: Can I still use this to root my phone via ODIN or is there a different process for this baseband?
CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747.tar.md5
I load this into ODIN, plug my phone in download mode and root away. Does either the file I use change or do I have to use something other than ODIN?
Thanks again

To get root, I would flash a custom recovery and flash supersu from recovery, then let supersu disable know.
The file you named looks to be outdated as it refers to the s3 as d2att. Since unified builds were released, the s3 is now referred to as the d2lte.

I have ROM Manager installed. It has an option to "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery". I just tried it and it failed and I think thats because I dont have root. In the past I've had to root my phone via ODIN, then flash custom recovery then MOD away.
In the past I rooted the S3 via ODIN. With this new 4.4.2 version do I still root via ODIN provide I find the correct file because -> CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747.tar.md5 this one is probably for a 4.1.1 version phone?

I would not flash anything for the d2att at this point.
Try this:
Download the latest tar.md5 file from here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_...Edition/d2lte/
Download supersu zip from here and place it onto an external SD card or copy it to the phone's internal storage: http://download.chainfire.eu/695/SuperSU/
In Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time. Flash Philz. When you see reset in the status window, remove USB cable, pull battery, replace battery, boot into recovery, flash supersu, reboot.

I am fairly certain that AOSP, or at least CM, de-unified in the past few months. Not that it matters much, other than for the confusion it causes.

Downgrading from Android 5.1.1 to Android 4.1

I have Pac Rom Android 5.1.1 installed on my rooted sg3 and I need to do a carrier unlock. I contacted ATT to get the unlock code and the code they provided didn't work. Now I want to downgrade to Android 4.1 and try the UMTS menu trick as described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176719
I have tried Odin many times (with many versions, different computers, USB cables, etc) and every time Odin fails to flash Android 4.1. with a Fail AUTH error. I have used Odin successfully in the past many times with this phone but am unable to get it to work this time around.
Does anyone know how to downgrade the sg3 from 5.1.1 to 4.1? Or even better does anyone how to carrier unlock the sg3 when it has 5.1.1 installed on it?
Thanks!

Odin is probably failing because you have a 4.3 or 4.4.2 bootloader on your phone. I recommend you not flash anymore ROMs using Odin as repeat attempts to flash the 4.1.1 ROM via Odin may hard brick the phone.
Once a phone is running and 4.3 or 4.4.2 bootloader, you cannot use the free/hidden menu method to unlock the phone.
You cannot use a custom ROM to enter an unlock code. You'll have to go back to a stock ROM, enter the code, and return to a custom ROM.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know how I can go back to stock 4.1.1 without using Odin?

You need the 4.1.1 bootloader in order to use the free method. Once a phone is on 4.3 bootloader or higher, you can't go back to 4.1.1. Don't try because attempts to do so could brick the phone.
A stock 4.1.1 rom on a 4.3 bootloader will not work.

So you're saying once the sg3 is on a version above 4.3 there is no way to go back to 4.1.1?

Once it is on the 4.3 or higher bootloader, there is no going back to an older bootloader and it is the older 4.1.1 bootloader and stock 4.1.1 ROM that is required to unlock using the free method.
Since you have the code, you can flash a stock ROM from recovery.

Thanks. What do you mean by free method?
Also you suggesting if I put the 4.1.1 stock rom .zip on my sg3 I can flash it via CWM just like I would the latest 5.1.1 Pac Rom release?

The free method is the method you linked in your original post. This is the only free method available and it requires a 4.1.1 bootloader that your phone doesn't have. Installing 4.1.1 via cwm is not going to help you unlock it.

Since you have the code, you can flash a stock ROM from recovery.
Click to expand...

How would I do this? Do I just flash 4.1.1 from cwm?

Flashing 4.1.1 onto your phone will not allow you to enter the code.
Before flashing anything, you need to verify the bootloader that is running on your phone. Until you do that, I would not flash any bootloaders or modems. An incompatible modem/bootloader combination can also brick your phone.

Sorry, one last question.
You'll have to go back to a stock ROM, enter the code, and return to a custom ROM.

How can I go back to the stock rom?

You can flash a stock rom from the general thread using twrp or cwm.

Awesome, thanks again. I was worried about going that route since I'm on 5.1.1 but I'll give it a shot

When you pick a stock ROM, make sure you pick one with the same bootloader and modem that are currently on your device. You probably have either the NE4 or NJ1 bootloader and modem pair. You DO NOT have a 5.1.1 bootloader and modem, they do not exist for the SGS3. Check your versions from a Terminal Emulator app or check them with the Phone Info - Samsung - app from the PlayStore.
Both NE4 and NJ1 stock ROMs are available in the forum. enewman17 posted them form image dumps, they have been used successfully by many.
The Terminal Emulator commands are:
Code:
getprop ro.bootloader
getprop | grep version.baseband

Thanks, I did this and both the bootloader and modem ended with NJ1 so I downloaded UCUFNJ1_Rooted.zip from enewman17's thread using CWM 6.0.4. The flash was successful but now the phone is frozen at the AT&T logo when I turn it on.
Any thoughts as to why its stuck booting up?

More than once I have seen reports of this happening when going from a 5.x.x ROM back to 4.4.x. The most common solution has been to include formating the internal sdcard before flashing the stock ROM.

If I flash the sd card as well I will lose the UCUFNJ1_Rooted.zip file. So in that case should I use adb via CWM to flash it?

Put the zip file on the external sdcard and then flash it with your recovery.

I actually didn't have an external SD card. I wound up taking it to the ATT store that had an ATT repair shop inside it and they reset it back to stock 4.4 for me and now everything works great! After unlocking the carrier on the phone I did have to manually enter the t-mobile APN to get the data connection working but that was simple (the info is listed on t-mobile's site)

Can't find Bootloader & Modem

Hello,
Trying to install the custom ROM cyanogen mod 11.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682905
First time I ever attempt to flash a custom rom.
In the guide it asks to DL Bootloader & Modem. My baseband is:
I747MVLUFOB3
I can't find any baseband corresponding to this one.
Here I found a firmware that correspond to my base band.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-I747M/
Not sure if it is useful...
Any way to install the custom room??
Cheers

Which variant of the galaxy s3 do you have? You should be able to flash any ROM compatible with your phone using TWRP or Phil touch recovery.

I have the i747m (rogers canada). I have TWRP 2.8.7.0 & rooted with Kingo root. Somehow it was the only way to root it. Tried Towel root & odin but both were doing nothing.
TWRP was installed a long time ago. I recently made an update on kies (what a mistake sign...). I was on 4.4.2 before and after the firmware update on kies.
I got a spare S3 motherboard (with cpu etc.) I might try on that one first but I need to disassemble & assemble everything... not very tempting.

I usually just use odin and http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ to start fresh and root again when I want to upgrade bootloader and modems.

As you saw at sammobile, OB3 is the latest official release for the i747. You do not need to do anything to your baseband (modem) to run CM11. You may want to verify that your bootloader (firmware) matches the modem. This can be done from within TWRP. Go to the advanced menu and in the terminal enter
Code:
getprop ro.bootloader
You should get a return ending in OB3.
I suspect the CM 11 updater-script has not been updated to account for the just released OB3 firmware. If that is the case, you could always edit the script in the roms zip file.

@dawgdoc
When I entered the command, it returned me:
I747MVLUFOB3
Secondly, I have not tried to install CM11 (or the newer version CM12?). I do not know if it works. I just want to make sure I can flash and not brick my phone.
My phone is not the d2att (i747), it is d2can (i747m). I believe these two are very similar but enough different to cause problem.
So, can I install CM11 or 12?
You are talking about changing a zip file... The newb I am know how to do that, but what exactly - that he doesn't know. So I would rather not mess with that. I guess TWRP checks if the firmware of the bootloader / modem matches to those from a compatible list and simply updating that list would allow me to install the build?
I was thinking about this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/development/unofficial-cyanogenmod-12-t2968854
Don't know the exact difference with the CM12 but it says d2can.
However, the BaNkS GAPPS - GAPPS link does not work... I don't know what that is.

The unofficial CM12 -5.1.1 by @matrixzone is good for the i747M, aka d2can. If you have any doubts, ask on that thread if it is updated to run on OB3? Matrixzone is active on the forums and should respond to your question. Also I just checked the updater-script for the latest CM11 official nightly and it is set up to run on the i747M.
So, either should run with no problems for you.

What is the bootloader and modem version needed and how do I get them without getting a locked bootloader? I'm on i747M with 4.1.1 Stock rom with DLK4 modem and bootloader. There are newer bootloaders and modems that can be flashed through recovery but some people have been getting bricks when messing with bootloader.
THey say to use Official firmwares to have it update the bootloaders but which one is the proper firmware version to get the proper bootloader and modem version to allow DATA 4g LTE after flashing CM12.1 Lollipop rom?

Still can't connect properly to the network

It's been another few months and still the same problems with all ROMS i try, when the screen is off i lose connection to the mobile network, When i turn the screen back on it will connect and start buzzing and alerting me to every unread message and e-mail Which gets annoying very quickly let alone missing messages and calls.
This happens on CM 12, Pac man rom, GPE and others. Both with 4.4.4 and 5.0. CM 11 works fine for me without this issue.
I see people say they are using these roms without this issue so something is definitely wrong but I can figure out what.
I'm using an Unlocked T mobile s4 on the Wind network In canada
Model SGH-M919
Baseband M919UVUAMDL

You may need to update the baseband a bootloader in order for the phone to work properly with the latest ROMs.

I'm assuming i use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678774 with the OK3 Rom. beyond this is there anything i should know, like will i have to unlock and root my phone again, or anything like that?

The stock ROMs for the sgh-m919 are here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-M919/
The simplest way to update to the latest bootloader and modem would be to flash the phone back to stock using the above-linked software.
Once you are on the latest stock ROM, flash the latest TWRP to the phone. Once TWRP has been installed, you can flash a custom ROM. Rooting first is not necessary if you intend to run a custom ROM.

Sorry for the late update but I got it working thank you.
The FOK3 and FOH3 didn't work for me, once installed it still showed the MDL version. Once i did the FNK2 it worked.
Is there a reason to upgrade to the FOH3 or FOK3 from the FNK2 versions provided i can get them to work?

I always recommend running the latest bootloader and rom but, if the bootloader and modem work without issue, you can hold off.
