Hello,
I'm trying to look for the fresh stock rom of SGH-I317 rom so I can flash my phone back to normal. I owned this phone since 2012, I had it rooted and everything else. Last night, it decided to do something funny and now it gets stuck on samsung logo/battery and I can only access download mode for the time being.
So I assume I have to factory set everything and lose data--which i don't care about anymore.
Can anyone please help? Thank you. Stock rom is what I need and Odin as well. Thanks again =)
Adam.
As far as I know there are at least 4 different STOCK versions of SGH-I317 firmware namely 4.1.1 4.1.2 4.3 and 4.4.2. 4.1.2 is the same as 4.1.1 but it has SIM unlock backdoor closed. 4.1.1 is interchangeable up to 4.3 with certain limitations, as soon as you get 4.4.2 you are stock to it.
4.3 is my personal favorite but I can't seem to find clean AT&T ROM for some time now (everything else is available).
If I were you I'd start powering up the phone while holding home and arrow up buttons, do "wipe data/factory reset" follow with "wipe cache partitions" and you should be golden

Thanks replying. Unfortunately.. I tried getting into recovery mode but it just won't let me. when I do that.. it only takes me back to the samsung logo. I really really don't know why...
Right now I only have access to the Odin Mode and it comes up as
Product Name :
Custom Binary Download : No
Current Binary Samsung Official
System Status : Custom
did you try flashing recovery again through odin...u can also try this...not sure if it works 100% in ur case...but doesn't hurt to try.

See that's the thing. I need the stock rom so i can flash it lol. I asked it a few times before too ^__^;; . The good thing is, the battery still works fine .
Now on Odin.. I get many failed attempts..so I'm not sure I have the right stock rom.
edit : I tried that method..didn't work ....

Remember u can downgrade from 4.4.x...there's a thread in forum that explains what tz files r needed and which bootloader 2...I've done it couple of times myself from Dn4 rom and Eclipse V9 from 7100 thread. Just gotta read and be patient. Hope u get all straightened out. Keep us informed on progress.
With the phone in download mode, is there anything on the phone about knox or warranty bit? If there is, the phone can't be flashed with any stock ROM from sammobile.com.

REALLY??? Please show us the link for upgrade! As I said there is no OEM 4.3 ROM at sammobile
I was told many many times that AT&T (and this is the one we are talking about) 4.4.2 ROM can not be downgraded!
I tired the downgrade and yes the system will go down to 4.1.1 but it would keep the 4.4.2 bootloader so the phone won't charge while being off (making it pretty useless).
@audit13 : I've the phone since 2012. I think Im getting a new as is but I know this phone can't be done just yet. if I'm able to access download mode that should warrant itself the possibility of it being fixed. Just need that thread to follow those directions =)

Good Morning, thanks for the link.. But I'm already lost at which one I'm supposed to pick. Can you provide a link to that thread, please? Thank you
Adam
OMG, my bad.
Does the phone say anything about warranty bit or knox in download? If it does, the phone can't be flashed with any ROMs from sammobile.com.
my phone is SGH-I317 NOTE 2 .....
Did you have a chance to look at the download screen on the phone? Model is sgh-i317 in download screen too?

Hi. This is all i have on the download section
http://imgur.com/a/zYql8
Maybe I'm missing something extra like the videos i've seen ?
What is the model number on the label under the battery? Something is very wrong because there is no model number.

Well the model number SGH-I317 . I'm sure I mentioned it before. And yes. .I find that to be weird too >__<.. What am I missing?
In this case, I would try and flash the stock ROM from sammobile.com in Odin: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-I317/
Ok.. so if I download both of these (or which one do you prefer? ). What else do I need to download? I do have two versions of Odin.
edit :
So i tried it on Odin 1.85.
I get something like GET PIT FOR MAPPING?
edit 2 :
Another Odin version gave me
Can't open the serial(COM) port after setup connection
sorry for double posting but here's a reminder

Just use this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737848
The LG1 rom is the latest for AT&T G3. The second one in the thread is stock from initial release I believe. Download and flash. Since it's stock, it won't bump your counter. Will lose root though.

Uuuh, those roms are straight from Samsung Kies (their official roms). They are safe. I have used it to ditch root and go back to my stock kernel prior to flashing new custom roms. They are official roms from Samsung. If you want to get them from Samsung directly, install more bloatware on your pc (Kies). Have fun.
I really don't care about a few apps being there (even if I don't use it).. So are u saying that if I install either one of the three (in the green box in the picture) I should be fine? Do u happen to know why they have different numbers in them?

Nope. I got my stock roms from the thread I sent you. Use the thread. Like I said, they are official roms straight from Samsung. It wouldn't be a main sticky on the development forum if it wasn't legit. Or you can just download Kies from the Samsung.com website and use that to flash newer stock roms to your phone. Or you can pull your hair out wondering which one to use until someone who knows their serial scheme to answer it better than I can.. The choice is yours. Chances are, anyone else would just link to that same thread I sent you already anyway. I've used them and they are just fine. I keep the latest stock on my ext_sd for backup just in case, which I downloaded from that thread. Works like a charm every time I have flashed it to go back to stock.
If you are already rooted and just trying to get back to stock to take your phone back for warranty, I also suggest you look into the app Triangle Away. Just do a forum search, it's in the development section. It resets your flash counter to zero. You will want to do that *before* you unroot. Assuming you've already rooted. Since I don't know your situation, I can only offer some suggestions. Hope this all helped.
Hehe.. Thanx for replying so elaborately. I have indeed tried the ROM posted on the thread earlier to go back to stock from CM10. They do wrk fine indeed. I just thought I'd get it from the official Site. That's all. I'm a little new to this but not a uber noob

No worries, everyone here was new to Android and flashing at some point as well. I completely understand you wanting to make sure what you are about to flash to your $500 phone is clean and safe. I have used the roms linked from that thread from the samsung-updates.com website myself with no problems. Anyone else here on XDA will tell you the same thing, they are safe and straight from Samsung Kies.
Question .
I downloaded one of the original stock rom from the link , currently I'm rooted but if i wanted to go back to stock how would I do it?
Flash the file i just downloaded ? How with CWM? Odin? this part is what's confusing me.
Thanks if anyone can explain , I guess I mainly want to know how to go back to stock and how to unroot.
1st Download the Triangle away app and reset ur flash counter if it's not zero already.
2nd Put ur phone in download mode(volume down+home+power button) and use Odin to flash the Stock ROM from your computer.
3rd This should have removed all root from your phone. But do go into settings-> About device->Status->Device status(in ur phone) . If it still shows 'modified', goto recovery menu(volume up+home+power button) and do a factory wipe.
Ur good to go after that.

I thought when u flashed Stock ROM with Odin, it flashes the kernel and modem too? At least when u flash it with mobile Odin it happens by default.

I did check the 'about device' to see if there is anything that'll help me narrow it down(before you even replied). Yes, it helped me narrow it down to the green box in the picture.
Before you type some random **** like this why dont you check it out on your phone and give a reply. Let me know if you find out anything useful.
At the risk of sounding like an ass, did you look under the battery?

Look under your battery again. Notice under the imei barcode. You see 2 letters there? Mine was mb. That might have something to do with it. Might not.

Wow..good catch. I thinks that's it. Its just two letters printed just like that not part of anything else. Mine is RW. Dont know what the difference b/w them are though. Thanks again. :good:
Update:
Called them up. Its all the same...the MB,RW and ZR refers to the different colors.
MB refers to Pebble blue
RW refers to Marble White
and ZR refers to Garnet red.
hi guys,
please before you start judging on me and tell me to search the forums for the answer, please read the thread completely...
i have galaxy S III AT&T which lost the imei after rooting and cwm installation. the full details for the mobile is attached below.
i found many threads for solutions like QPST and Z3X activation box to inject the imei again but my major problem was in both procedures the will not be recognized from the tool due to the DIAG Mode is not enabled...
when i try to enable it with any code like *#9090# or *#0909# and also scripts nothing pop up to enable and according to one good guy here, this issue happen when the imei is lost..
please if any one could fix this issue...help us all because many people need it!!!
one more question which is disturbing me....most of the threads for rooting here does not mention the build number that is capable to apply to !!!! mentioning that i have another SIII at&t which was flashed by friend of mine to:
SGH-I747M stock rom
Build Number : JRO03L.I747MVLDLK4
Jelly Bean: 4.1.1
and i am afraid to flash it back to the stock rom of SGH-I747 ( PDA = I747UCDLK3 ) from sammobile and face the same destiny!!
Please help us guys with every thing i mentioned before...
Why don't you try to ODIN back to stock 4.1.2 and see what happens? No root and stock recovery. I've read where some have gotten their IMEI back by doing that. At the very least, it may cause the diag codes to work. You may need to reroot if you try to re inject it with one of the methods you mentioned.

because most of the time when i try to auto cf root these devices nothing will happen...the device will restart for root and the red droid will show up, then it will stuck in ( cleaning up..... ) and wont go for rooting !!!
i think these devices has a locked bootloader!!!

Yea, now I see there is no tar 4.1.2 to go back to. I think since that's the case, I would connect to Kies with a PC and do an emergency firmware recovery. Hopefully that will fix you up.

Hey all,
So I've checked as much as I could to try and help myself before posting, so hoping some kinds souls can help out with my issue.
Got a samsung galaxy s3 SGH-T999V on Wind Mobile (Canada), android 4.3. My aim is to root the phone, then play with some roms later on, but at least get the rooting part done. I started with this hxxp://theunlockr.com/2012/07/23/how-to-root-and-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-the-samsung-galaxy-s3-sgh-t999v-canadian-version guide, but the CMW didn't get installed when I went into recovery mode, just had the stock phone recovery options.
So then, went on to try pretty much the exact same procedure but with the root66_GLW_T999VVLALH2.7z..but Odin gave me the failed sbl2 error or something like that. Now i didn't have anything to backup so I didn't really care wiping the phone to factory default so I did so ( as well as the cache partition using the default android recovery menu.) But even still, no luck. When I tried again, it (Odin that is) just seemed to hang at the phase that stated "get PIT" or something like that (apologies I'm pulling this all from memory).. Had no real choice but to interrupt it restart, try again, back to the sbl2 error again. Doing this from a Win7x64 Ultimate OS (if that's relevant). I HATE the phone the way it is, I cannot stand the bloatware and I have a lot in mind to have fun with if I can ever get this bloody thing to root.
I think that's about all I can mention atm, did the usual stuff like try different usb ports, the phones USB cable 'seems' to be ok and working, I'm just beyond frustrated and finally at the part where I need to ask for help. Any and all help is deeply appreciated. Cheers
i also want help rooting my T999v version 4.1.2 cant seem to find a tutorial for rooting of version 4.1.2

If you're on 4.3 stock you'll have to deal with this new thing they added called "Knox". Also you cannot downgrade to older versions of official firmware if you have updated to 4.3 stock. Root66 won't work for you unless there's a version of root66 firmware that is 4.3 (which there isn't). Here's a thread that should solve this problem for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563955

Well then that's the Device you have. Anything said in Settings > Model is suspect. If I modify ro.device in Build.prop then My Galaxy S3 will appear instantly as S4 or Nexus 5. That does not mean it is one.
You always go by what's under the Battery and not by Settings > Model.
First off I NEVER have had rom issues before this, it all started with a failed encryption attempt that soft bricked my phone. instead of re posting what i wrote here is a link to the 2 pg thread in which i received help and thus this is where i am at.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701706
OK now ever since then i have never been able to update to a new rom. I believe it let me do it once and i believe i am using an older version of S3Rx.
I believe it may be due to how I updated to 4.3 I would like to get 4.4 as i believe kit kat (tell me if im wrong) will probably be the last android os the S3 will support so i basically want to get the most out of it as i can and also be able to try other roms in general like i used to. Because i currently do not have a sd card I have yet to try anything drastic as i normally use my sd card for backups and rom installs because if something happens to the phone i have the sd card backup.
So in all What should I DO, I have fears of using Odin as the one time it failed on me i bricked a phone and I cant really afford to hard brick this one like i did the other. Although the only thing I can think of being a dumb leach user and non dev. Would be to use odin with the most recent root66 then go from there? Although again lol all i can think of is the above.
Thanks for reading and i hope like the last time I will recieve help to bring back the life to this device. TIA!!

for some reason using twrp and cwm they fail with twrp it normally fails instantly and with cwm it will fail sometime during the install.
I need to put a rom on my phone and ill give exact error. I havce been trying to use the likewise port from att http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-t-mobile/development/rom-likewise-s5-4-1-tw-4-4-2-ne4-t2879647 I normally use an sd card as i have the 12gb model and some roms are large but i should still be able to succeed (we will see from the error message)
thanks for replying

HRM i guess im ok i just installed the latest S3Rx as i wanted to see what made it stop so i chose this rom (because i needed to update anyway) and it had aroma so I thought perfect ill know when it fails but it worked out ive downloaded and tried to install likewise several time at first i thought i got a bad download but ive tried again and for some reason. I have yet to try a 4.4 (i wanted to try likewise so thats why i chose it) so without trying other roms my issue has something to do with going to 4.4 from 4.3 IDK though as i have not tried other roms but no one else seams to have this issue with this rom port?
Any 4.4 rom suggestion to try to find out what the issue is?
currently installed base-band modem should have no impact on rom installation only the fact i wont get signal right?
I just cant think of any reason why i am having the issue?? any ideas anything i should check to make sure its right on my mobile? BTW thanks for coming back to help as this is possibly a stupidity problem which is hard to help how do you help stupid lol?
Try S3rx 4.4.2 or do you mean aosp/cm?.. And correct, baseband/modem won't matter on ROM installation.. I'm sure it's not stupidity, believe me we all get issues we cannot understand at times and the next time you try, problem is gone lol

i personally prefer touchwiz so no aosp or cm and the latest version of s3Rx i though is what i just installed but its only 4.3 not 4.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326763
installing that works but i still cant get to 4.4 im going to search for one that has aroma maybe it will work do you have any suggestions on a good touchwiz based rom on the latest version of android?
To me Likewise looked the best but trying to get that rom working is what prompted this OP.
I still have yet to try again after this recent rom update as I havent had the time and the battery level is not high enough yet to start as i will need to create a new backup and delete my old ones as i have the 12 gb model and currently no sd card.
I will post back when that has been done to show my results. In the mean time ill be searching for another possibly suitable rom like i already said something with aroma and if you have a preference ill try that first.
S3rx 4.4.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2848080 try that and see if it works

it wont change my modem? and it will be OK I NEVER have used a rom other than roms made specially for t-mobile i was always under the impression that's a bad idea? I know att and t-mobile are sometimes compatible though but Ive still always been weary so before i do it you want me to use an att rom on my t-mobile?
Anythi8ng special i should know before i do it (besides thew obvious like make a backup and follow op directions) because im not on att i dont want another soft brick (cant afford to have that happen right now either) and a HARD brick would totally mess me up. (i just paid this off lol)

AT&T I747 users should update bootloaders and modem to NE4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...pdate-t2808654 I747M and T999 users need to be on 4.3 firmware or ROM will not boot.

after reading this it makes me for comfortable so ill try it out Im currently on S3Rx 4.3 so wish me luck I sure hope it works!!
Edit: well I tried it it installed fine but the screen would not display i could feel the phone vibrate as to start up although like i said no boot screen no Samsung loading screen basically yeah I'm having problems with 4.4.X
You don't need to change anything and it won't change your modem, you just need to be on 4.3 firmware

ill try again but the rom you said to try installed fine no problems but after restart no display????? it vibrated so IDK if it even booted. I am really confused I have never had problems like this. Especially with this phone as it has been easy from the start not the case with other devices i have used.
So ill try again maybe a reboot will get it working IDK but i guess ill try it again cross your fingers

You could be on a 4.3 ROM, but have a 4.1.x bootloader.. Download latest 4.3 firmware for your device and flash it with Odin
So yes i must be on 4.1.2 as that was the last time i flashed with odin so i believe you help3ed me with my main isssue now this is something i would like to be sure of:
Can i simply flash the following posted on the s3rx page or will i have to use odin i prefer not to as well i don't know much about it and it scares me as idk how to if possible backup in case of error as the only unfixed problem i have ever had was a while rooting a galaxy s 4g (the one that came with inception) and i walked away and the cord was unplugged and there was an error that it still has about firmware upgrade failure connect to kies and neither kies nor odin will connect to it so its currently in the same situation. So i am fearful of using odin unless it must be done.
Complete 4.3 T999, T999L and T999V bootloader and modem packages.
After flashing DO NOT try to install any older bootloaders or use any other odin.tar other then the latest 4.3 or you will brick your phone.

Would this be enough (would probably use NC2) or will i be better of using the latest root66 with odin? and if so can you give me some tips on odin usage as i would get the latest odin and the latest root66 rom and flash it hoping it works I would try to learn more also but yeah.
It's better to flash the full firmware with Odin imo, but it should be fine. And yes, use nc2
So i think the best cleanest way is to use odin although i have a few questions
First the latest version of odin should work right so 3.09 or 3.10?
Can a backup before this? is there a way to do it?
Lastly the best rom to flash is root 66 NC2 fot t999
Then i will be on a 4.3 bootloader and will be able to use 4.3+ roms?
I have the drivers the latest odin and the root66 image can you direct me on how to do it as a refresher?
I appreciate all your help!!
Please go to Android development an look at [baseband] an just go to first page should help with everything
I believe the root66 thread has instructions
my nephew rooted my phone (little turd) I thought I bought it that way. so.... the phone updated on its own and when i woke up it was stuck on att logo, I reset phone, battery out,and hard reset nada nothing, so I sent it to shop not at&t seems how where I live it would take 5months to get there and back not to mention no warranty seems how he messed with it. The guy flashed it and got it working but when I got it back it says no sim please insert the sim is good, I downloaded phone info, i read it on this site and there is no baseband,imei,modem board can anyone please help me please I have a decent understanding of computers and software I need proper direction thank you so much in advance

dont know if this will help , but in part D (?) of this backup thread it talks about restoring imei without having a backup.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255
the modem i believe can be flashed just like a ROM thru recovery. just have to make sure it matches your bootloader version. sure there is a thread for that.
more info.... bootloader version , carrier , sghi747 ? , current rom/android version. and hopefully some more help will jump in.

sorry i dont have more. theres prob an easier way. may want to also update your recovery CWM/twrp/philz whichever you use.
p.s. never ever downgrade your bootloader as it will brick your phone.

Well I've got the required down loads and twrp I not rooted yet, I am thinking of waiting to see if anyone else chimes in just to be safe, I have not rooted before however when I went to recovery mode twrp came up, the files I got from the thread you directed me to when they were done the popped up and said phone needs to be rooted, ok I'm a bit scared lol I guess the worst thing that could happen is that I'll ruin the phone and have my excuse to buy the new cat s50 android dual sim
lol. ok. srry my bad , thought phone was rooted. hopefully some one will chyme in.
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
I think rooting is needed, you should try it. And if it doesnt work you can buy another phone great excuse

Do you have access to wifi? If you do, install the Samsung Info App from the Play store and let me know the bootloader and modem version on your phone. The modem may be unknown because the modem does not match the bootloader.
I recommend not flashing or changing anything until you know exactly what's on your phone.

Do you have a custom recovery installed (CWM or TWRP)? I think you need to flash an ne4 modem.

sorry to bug but does the pda version and csc have to match the bootloader and baseband NE4 dont laugh and remember Im new to this LOL

Since you don't have wifi, it may be because the ROM is 4.3 with a 4.4.2 bootloader and modem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54029413&postcount=11
So should I be using 4.4.2 Ota zip update?
Have a look at the thread. The first post says it will update the bootloader and modem to ne4. Are you already on ne4 modem and bootloader? You should be since imei is back with the ne4 bootloader.
I guess I didn't understand yes I'm on ne4 modem and bootloader
Your wifi doesn't turn on or it turns on and cannot connect to a network?
Not sure what to suggest since I have not run into this situation before. You could either flash a custom kernel or flash everything to 4.4.2 using the zip file from that thread.
You could also try to locate an updated csc file as well. Not sure if that will make a difference.

yes its weird everything seems to work but wifi, wifi just wont turn on slide it over to on it just slides back lol darn bugger
I not sure that a CSC file will help since that file is really just for carrier customization.
You suppose you could try flashing the full ne4 firmware from the thread I linked.
