soft-bricked i747m - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

i had my s3 i747m on cm13. i was having a lot of problems with bluetooth. so i tried going back to stock firmware and i bricked my phone. i can still access download mode.
with odin running as admin or not, this is what it says when i try to install stock rom in download mode:
ODIN MODE

CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty Bit: 1
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2

i've tried looking for solutions, but all say the same thing...which is to use odin and install the stock rom file.
i had twrp recovery installed if that helps.

i just reflashed twrp with odin and it started to work. i guess it was just the recovery files damaged?

Yes, sometimes stock images won't flash because the bootloader version is lower than the one you have.

[Q] HELP!!! Phone stuck on odin mode

So I recently bought a galaxy s3 from a friend and tried rooting it today, but something went horribly wrong and it won't work.
It tells me "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." I have tried doing that and I can not get it to work. The phone won't even connect to Kies... HELP
This is what it says at the top of the screen.

Bump!
I am using the GS3 Toolkit v7.5.1 on a Sprint SPH-L710 totally stock untouched ROM.
I kinda made an alteration by adding the TWRP Recovery v2.6.3.1 for this Sprint GS3 variant, and renamed it to the TWRP recovery included with the Toolkit i.e. TWRP 2.5.0.0
Now while going through the Root/Recovery (ALLINONE) option, when Odin comes up, it sends the boot.img fine, but is now stuck on sending down recovery.img.
But I don't know enough about Odin or the GS3, to know if I can just shut down Odin, and it'll trigger the phone to reboot and I can not be sneaky, replace the original recovery, and try again?
This is what my phone says on the "Downloading..." screen
Code:

Product name: SPH-L710
Custom Binary Download: [B][COLOR="Green"]No[/COLOR][/B]

Can I shut down Odin, and manually reboot the phone to the Download mode, and repeat the process?
PLEASE Help!

Unrooting from CM 11 after a previous stock 4.3 OTA update - NAND Write Fail!!

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)
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

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

Did you say it was recognized in Kies but firmware recovery failed? If so, and you were using Kies (not Kies 3), we may assume the last system update was not older than Android 4.1.1. I'll suggest you try these steps (in that order),i.e. if one doesn't work, try the next step ..
1. Try booting into recovery mode and doing a hard wipe/reset
2. Download the correct stock image from the thread below and flash via Odin. If you need help with flashing via Odin, please let me know
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 or visit Sammobile.com to download the correct stock image.
3. Open Kies. Do not connect the phone yet. Go to Tools => Firmware Upgrade and Initialization. Enter your phone model name (SGH-I747)=>OK and serial number. Check device information inside the battery compartment. Wait for firmware download to complete and you are prompted to connect the phone and follow the rest of the on-screen instructions.
4. Contact the vendor to find out what they did wrong and see what refund options you have
Ok, so I also wasn't able to get into recovery.
I decided to flash cwm via odin. After it flashed the phone rebooted and turned on normally. I have turned it on and off like 5 times and everytime it boots normal.....But, there is still a problem... baseband version is Unknown and there is no IMEI Number.

hi, yes those were the steps I tried and the result was fail. Now that I can boot it, it shows its 4.3 but no baseband and no imei.

Oh, it's 4.3. Perhaps even better because you may be able to flash the 4.3 restore image. Your baseband/modem is corrupt or missing which is why it's showing the no baseband message.
Please see the thread below for the complete 4.3 stock restore image. Download the stock restore image and flash via custom recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Or you may just flash the 4.3 JB modem via custom recovery since you have custom recovery working. The modem zip can be found here ...

I suggested custom recovery and not custom ROM. The idea is to get your phone back in working order first. Flashing a complete stock restore image should do it. Please refer to the thread I forwarded earlier. You should be able to flash custom recovery (like CWM or TWRP) to your phone via Odin and then use the custom recovery to flash the stock restore image.

As your Knox counter says 1 I suppose you are trying to flash an older knox-enabled bootloader over a newer one.
Easiest way to succeed is to flash 4.4.2 firmware instead.

[Q] Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 Stuck In Download Mode

I have a Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 rooted etc and recently decided to try a new ROM. I had TWRP custom recovery on it and worked fine originally. Unfortunately after flashing the new ROM, it froze and after rebooting it, I no longer have a recovery nor will it boot. It simply goes to download mode and says the following:
Could not do normal boot.
ODIN Mode

KNOX WARRENTY VOID: 0x1

I've tried re-flashing custom recovery (TWRP) using ODIN and flashed successfully but all it will do is flash TEAMWIN for a split over and over. I wanted to try CWR but Odin only flashed md5 or tar files. PLEASE HELP!!!!
try another version of TWRP. I think there are two versions on their website, 2.7.1.0 and 2.7.0.0 or similar.
also make sure you are flashing the correct recovery for your device (wifi vs LTE model)

The cwm recovery in the original development can be flashed with Odin. Just unzip and flash (it is just a zip if a tar.md5 file).

OK Great I was finally able to flash CWM (Attached) using ODIN. New Issue. I m unable to access the internal memory. If i go to browse internal SD memory, it shown nothing and reboots, and it does the same when I try to flash a ROM. What am i missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Did you try to flash the official rom ?
1) Get it here : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
2) Type : SM-T320 in middle right search box (not top one)
3) findout your Country/Carrier from your unit
** you may need register to download .
Hope this help. Thanks !
