I need a debrick image from a Sprint GS3 running android 4.3 knox bootloader as I bricked mine trying to downgrade. Anyone please?
. Tar file was just released. And kies has been updated to show mk3. You need the . Tar file to flash in odin.

The phone does not power on. If I remove the battery while it's plugged in the charge light comes on for about 40 seconds but that's the only sign of life at the moment. That is why I need a 4.3 debrick image so I can try and make it boot from the external SD card.
Can you get inyo download mode? Volume down+power+home. If so see if odin will see the phone. If odin see's it you should be able to flash the stock .Tar file.

Thanks. I tried this method numerous times and it don't work. I need a 4.3 debrick image being that's what is in it currently.
Yeah you need someone to dump it for you. You can extract it from the tar.
But people have stated that they could not get their devices to boot even after using the debrick method, when they bricked by trying to downgrade.

Sorry I meant it say "you can't extract it from the tar".
I have ALL_L710VPUCMK3_L710SPRCMK3_2034598_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 which I got from the Kies temp directory when I was upgrading my ROM yesterday. Is the file that you need inside of this? Here is the contents:
./D2_USA_SPR_16G.pit
./NON-HLOS.bin
./aboot.mbn
./boot.img
./cache.img.ext4
./persist.img.ext4
./recovery.img
./rpm.mbn

Our problem is identical dave74x. I have been trying to find this image too. But no luck. I'm hoping someone that upgraded like us hasn't been savvy enough to not try flashing anything crazy. All we can do is wait. Good luck dave74x
Edit: If CNexus can find someone that successfully rooted the stock 4.3 OTA and have them make a dump for us/each of us (depending on memory size in your phone).
Anyone?? I can't believe no one has a 4.3 debrick image or is willing to dump one. IMPORTANT... If you updated to 4.3 and you tried to flash back and bricked then you will need a 4.3 debrick image, nothing else will work!! If I can't find one in a day or so I'm just going to send it to my friend in Texas for a JTAG....

The problem is that everyone waited because of KNOX and has CNexus's un-KNOX'ed ROM without the 4.3 bootloader. Then the people that did update to the OTA haven't been able to root or get SuperSU/Super User to work at all. I'm going to try other forum sites and i suggest you do the same dave74x.
This thread can be closed. I just bought a used motherboard for it and all is back to normal now.. Thanks!!

You can re-root easily on 4.3 with Philz recovery. if that the problem. when you root it from there please be nice and pull the boot image. i have the SAME exact problem as dave trying to downgrade
Where did you find a used motherboard? I need one for my 32GB S3

i think its his power switch.sudden death syndrome on the s3.happens all the timeheap part though
I would love that debrick img as well! Flashed a bad kernel (I was in a hurry) and bricked a friend's phone. got the sd card class 10 and ready to give this a try! I've tried the other debrick.img's, but none have worked (all were earlier in the year, likely not 4.3). Can someone please drop us a line?!

Another thing, my wife has a Galaxy S3 on Sprint as well with the 4.3 update, but is unrooted. Is there a way I could make my own debrick boot img from her phone (without rooting)? Sorry, basic user here.

I am not Android expert, but have followed many guides here. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345860 forum where gTan64 has done this work on other files and he has the code posted to do that in the first post. Make sure you click "Show" button.
gTan64 has attempted to extract first 70 mb or so only. I have read that due to knox, 4.3 does not work. Just for kicks, if you can extract the file might as well try out different sizes and try. If you can extract the image, and it works, please post it here. Many others would be interested in that too.

CANT BELIEVE I ENDED UP FLASHING THE WRONG KDZ ROM.... OMG
My AT&T E980 is now a F240L 30C. Im totally stuck in download mode. I tried using the Telcel Mexico E980 KDZ but the LG FlashTool 2014 keeps saying that its losing server connection and keeps deleting the mexico E980 KDZ at every try. I also tried the TOT for E980 AT&T but no luck, my phone is only read as an F240L 30C, so the flash tool wont flash my e980, i also tried using the universal dll but no use. PLEASE HELP ME OUT do0dz !!
If it show that you loose The connection then dont click "OK"!!! It flashes. Weit while your device reboot then you habe your e980 kdz flashed :3
I am lg g pro user.at first i was found of flashing my phone with lg flash tool for AT&T tot file.
I rooted the phone in which and i flash it later with a custom rom called sphinx rom (android version 5.0.1). During de usage i tried to flash a new rom in which it didnt success

TOT method makes strict check, KDZ method does not
e980 which is AT&T's model imply TOT method for flashing back the phone. During the process it checks SBL3, as I understand, for the model of the phone. If it doesn't match, you get this error. If you proceed with KDZ method (not AT&T's ROMs), LG Flash Tool 2014 is not checking a model of your phone. You will be able to flash a ROM, but your device will not be reported as AT&T's LGE980 and you may have an access to 16GB only of internal space (if the image is for 16GB model). This is, btw, the quickest way to get your phone back to life if it is bricked. After that you will still not be able to use TOT method because SBL3 is still not native to your phone.
For success with TOT method you have to replace SBL3 along with SBL2, SBL1, aboot, and (probably) rpm and tz partitions from AT&T image, because secure boot checks each next partition to be matching the current one. You can take their images from extracted TOT file and use dd command from custom recovery or rooted Android system.
WARNING: it is quite dangerous to get a hard brick, so do it at your own risk and only if you understand what you are doing.

Hi I just found a solution to these problems that is much simpler than this. I have an att E980, and I wanted to see if I could get the sim to work on the stock lollipop kdz version only to discover that I could not, and was stuck from flashing back using TOT method, well I found a method to get back to a version of e980 in order to use the TOT method, I am working a full in depth tutorial post for it but long story short is if you flash the wrong version all you need to do is download the panama E980h kdz where all the other modem files are located here, http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Stock/E980H/ | flash it using the lg 2014 flash tools. Then you will be able to use any e980 tot file again to flash, I just restored my phone back to stock with no model error issue.

]So I was stuck in a hard place and needed a recovery fix and couldn't find one... I stumbled across an .Img file so u converted it to a .tar file and shall share in hopes that people who make the mistake as I did don't have to go the the grueling process of flashing all the way back to mk2 and lose everything that they currently had and starting over
Download = https://www.dropbox.com/s/mx1933wuc...short route to recover from such a situation.
Cool!

Maybe this is very commendable, but maybe not. What phone do you have? What rom did you have to begin with? What firmware was this image file made from? Basically, you need to be much more specific if you're actually trying to help some other people.

Which recovery is this . I downloaded it and the file is only 10.5kb . Its a really small file .. also my bootloader is locked so if i flash this in odin . I most likely will get a fail or a paper weight ...

it's simply the mk2 stock recovery img; incase you tried to custom flash a recovery (which has been proven to fail) and the bootloader kicks you out (non-safestrap recovery like actual recovery recovery)
...i apologize for not being more specific.
i was in a jam at work when i tried to flash custom clockworkmod recovery to my main recovery via safestrap and got bootlooped due to our locked bootloader. I found the recovery.img file under some thread and i formatted it to work with odin; flashed it to my device an SGH-i337 and it allowed me to boot back up normally. so for me it was a safe haven, and im just trying to help others who tend to experiment even when told not to.

Right on ...Thanks man .. Yeah this will help .. I had it happen when falshing a rom and i lost safestrap and was stuck in a boot loop ..So this would be very helpful in that case ..I wish this would be for NB1 or NC1 ..Especially since there is a root method for 4.4 usinf towelroot
It keeps loading into fastboot after I tried to flash a "bumped" lollipop zip. I can get into download mode. I barely know these terms and am not savvy with all this flashing business at all. If someone could guide me like a child, I would very much appreciate it.
Okay, so I finally got into my custom recovery. I don't know what to do to fix this though. Do I find another .zip to install?
How did you get into recovery?
Not to be "that guy" but we have several guides how to root and flash before doing it, so you don't ruin your phone.
We need to know what version you were on, and Tue ROM you tried to flash. Its possible you skipped steps and soft bricked
Its going into fastboot mode because the kernel you flashed with that rom is not for our phone. It could be as easy as flashing the d851 boot.img to fix. But since you can get into recovery why not flash a d851 rom and be done with it? You're not using the bump twrp are you? We don't need bump.
The usb connection on my s4 mini 3g has long since died (but still charges). I have TWRP and CM13, but I need to load a stock or stock-ish ROM for a friend.
I'm having trouble finding one through searching. I'm looking for a stock flashable touchwiz rom. It can be deoxed and debloated, but close enough looking to stock.
Or alternatively, does someone have a system restore file?
Thanks!
So using ADB over WIFI, I managed to push each stock firmware file (.mbn and .img) over to my sdcard. Then in TWRP terminal , I manually typed in dd commands, eg "dd if=/sdcard/aboot.mbn of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5"
(after finding the partitions using adb)
I did this for all partitions except recovery. All transfers were successful, yet no OS was loaded and reboot hangs on the samsung logo. What should I do differently?
Can I not dd system.img.ext4 to the mmcblk0p21?
I would recommend using a jtag but that would too much of a hassle unless its really necessary.

Doesn't jtag require a working USB port?
and honestly, it would be cheaper for me to get the USB port replaced at a shop than use a jtag service.
My device isn't bricked. I can flash any rom I want through recovery. All I need to figure out is how to flash a stock rom without using linux to rebuild the system firmware as a zip or using odin/fastboot.

not necessarily, the jtag is hooked up directly to the board of the device and you can load stock rom using it. I was just suggesting that method because that seemed like the most viable option imo.
