Hello people, first of all I dont know if im in the right place, Im new to this forum.
My situation is that I want to restore back to stock ROM my i747 with a custom rom running on android 4.4.4 with SlimROM, my Kernel is 3.4.104-cyanogenmod-g38a4e52
Baseband i747UCUEMJB
I passed through 4.3 stock ROM, then i flashed to Cyanogen 12 with android 5.1.1 and now Im with SlimKat with android 4.4.4. I want to go back to stock ROM, but I read about the locked bootloader on newer versions of android, I dont really know much about this thing, but I think that is if I want to go back to 4.1, im i right
The thing is, can I go back to 4.3 stock rom
Thank you.
The bootloader is not locked; however, it cannot be downgraded to anything before 4.3.

If you want the Stock Odin MJB 4.3 file, and can't locate it, let me know and I'll upload it.
I don't need the files as I never had an i747 but I used to have the i747m.
The op may need them though.

Thank you guys for your help, so Im good as soon as I flash to 4.3 stock, what about the recovery, is that made by Odin? Or should I first flash a specific one?
About the 4.4.2, is it better than the 4.3 and would I be able to go to 4.3 in case I get the NE4?
Again thank you for your answers.
Once you upgrade to the 4.4.2 bootloader, you cannot downgrade to the 4.3 bootloader.
Stock Recovery will be installed by Odin.

Hey guys,
I'm trying to go back to a stock Touchwiz ROM from CyanogenMod 10.2. My only problem is, I can't Odin back to a stock from because the only Odin compatible file I have is 4.1.1 which my phone will no longer go to since my baseband was updated after trying a former 4.3 ROM.
Can anyone link me to a 4.3 ROM that I can flash in Odin? I'm asking because most of the ROM's I'm finding that are 4.3 require you to be on a TW ROM before flashing their ROM. Thanks.

This link is useless for me as it does not have a 4.3 stock rom listed in their official firmwares. They have only up to 4.1.2 which I cannot Odin back to since my baseband was already updated.

Do I have to be on a stock rom to use this? I'm currently on Quantum V3 and I don't have access to a stock rom to revert to since my baseband was updated.

No you don't have to be on the stock rom to use that, but the bootloaders are for 4.3 so if you haven't updated yet this will update you.
You can flash any rom you want to as long as you do not mess with the bootloader you will be OK. I do not know if this work on anything besides an at&t phone using it on anything else is done so at your own risk just the same as using it.
What about the recovery? any way to get a stock recovery image?
I was wondering if I may run into any problems by doing this.
I know that on an AT&T phone (i747), if you do that, you may lose your modem and needs to be reflashed (you get a null IMEI)
Is it the same on a SGH-T999? I was planning to flash this ROM:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=26636
Thanks
There is no 4.4.2 to downgrade from for the T999.
If you just have a 4.4.2 Rom, you don't need to do anything.
The firmware you linked is the latest available so you can flash it regardless of what you have now.
There is no 4.4.2 update for the T999 so yes you can flash it but it is not a ROM, it is firmware, please do not confuse these two they are very different!
Yeah... I'm afraid I am confused. What I did was to flash this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2690947
Isn't that a ROM?
However I would like to go back to 4.3, so I was just wondering if I could have any problems.
Sorry for the noob questions. I think it was clear to me, but I'm afraid it's not...
Thanks
Yes that is a rom, what you linked to in the first post is firmware which contains more than just the system and that is where you run into problems when downgrading

So if I'm on 4.4.4 right now, is there a way to go back to 4.3?

Yes, flash the link you provided in the first post or flash a 4.3 rom.. Understand this, flashing a rom will not determine if you can downgrade or not, flashing firmware will. Since there is no 4.4 firmware for the T999 you can still flash the 4.3 firmware. If there was a 4.4 firmware and you took the OTA or updated via Odin then the only thing you could do is flash a 4.3 rom, firmware will not be an option
Edit: oh and btw I accidently pressed the thanks button so you got a free one

Thanks. I understand better now. I have always been kind of confused between ROMs and firmwares.
PS: I triple thanked you.
Hey there everyone,
I understand the whole flashing process, so don't crucify me yet. My question is this: I'm currently running CWM recovery and CM10.2 rom. My baseband version is I747UCUEMJB and I can't find a STOCK rom ending in MJB. I checked a few websites and there are only ones like LEM, LK3, etc. I'm pretty sure flashing anything other than MJB will result in a brick. Am I right? Does anyone know of which rom to flash to have a stock phone?
Example: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-I747
^ Does not have MJB.
Also checked this website: http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-unroot/how-to-unroot-att-galaxy-s3-sgh-i747/
^ the rom they had was I747UCALEM.
Advice?
Thank you in advanced.
Mjb is android 4.3 so find the 4.3 ROM on here somewhere and follow its instructions to do a clean install

Future AT&T users: I found this thread later into the day and everything worked: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
I'm on cm11 m9 and it's been acting hellafunky lately, so I figured I'd switch back to stock to see if that cleared it up. I know TW is still on 4.4.3 but I can't find a flashable image of it anywhere. Is it possible to go back to stock, or are the cm bootloaders and such to new to be able to do this without bricking the device?
What bootloader is on your phone? Is it an i747 or i747m?
If you are on 4.3 or higher, you cannot flash back to stock unless you use a ROM that has been specifically compiled for flashing in Odin.

On bootloader NE4, I was able to flash back to to stock using the image in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56510020
Everything is working swimmingly.
'ENEWMAN17' threads are the most helpful when it comes to returning an SGS3 device back to stock KitKat ROM. You must strictly adhere to his instructions. Good luck!
Iv flashed my cm11 back to stock using cwm and flashing a odexed 4.4.2 samsung rom without any problems.

If the phone is an i747m, I recommend getting a stock ROM from sammobile. com. I'm not sure if a bootloader and modem file is included in the enewman17's thread but flashing an i747 bootloader and modem onto an i747m could result in a brick.
So I wanted go back to stock rom from 5.1.1 (DU). I downloaded the 4.4.2 rooted image from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55683994&postcount=2225
I used odin and flash the file
now my phone is stuck on samsung screen for 10 minutes.
I can still access the recovery (stock) and download mode. What can I do to fix this?

What bootloader and modem was your device on before trying to flash that file from mrRobinson?
I take it you have an i747M since that link is for the NF2 Rogers firmware, true?

I have frequently seen people report the same experience as you when going from 5.x.x back to stock.
I have read two solutions:
1) Flash a stock recovery and do a factory reset from there. enewman17 has download available in the OP of several threads; stock NE4, NJ1, and NJ2.
2) OR before flashing the stock rom, in addition to doing the standard wipes from the custom recovery you format the internal sdcard.
