Boot the phone into download look for anything that says "warranty bit" or "knox". If you do, you cannot flash the stock me4 ROM to the phone if the stock me4 ROM includes the bootloader file. Once a phone is running a 4.3 or newer bootloader, the bootloader cannot be downgraded.
I know I'm late to the party, but have you looked here?

I am new here and would really like some help from you guys.
So here is the story I work in IT I am very savy but never got the chance to root my phone because I didn't want to brick it. But now I am tired of waiting for jelly bean update for my T-mobile Samsung GS3. I watch all the videos on how to go into download mode and use Odin v1.85 to install a rom(I think that's what it does sorry if it's not correct I am a noob when it comes to this) Any way when I tried to install it everything passed and everything seemed ok. But when it rebooted it wasn't rooted and I didn't understand why so when I went back into download mode to see if I did something wrong. When I went back into it I found out something that I am pissed about. With the latest firmware update(please excuse if this is wrong but i think I am right) It says Qualcomm secureboot: Enable Does this mean they have locked the boot loader so I cannot root or put a custom rom on my GS3?
If you could please tell me what that means it would be great. I have a screen shot if anybody wants to see it. Is there a way around this?

Place your cell in Download mode, then use Odin to insert the official android 4.3 package.

Start up Kies (no cellphone connected), then go to Tools / Firmware Upgrade
It will ask you for the model number, so put that in.
Then it will ask you for either the serial number or MEID, so put that in, too.
Then it should download a big-ass android package (around 1.5 gigabytes).
After the package is decrypted, copy it from the temp directory to some safe place on your local hard drive.
Use Odin in Download Mode to install this package.
The package should end with .tar.md5
If you accepted the official OTA 4.3 update, and you tried to revert your bootloader back to before KNOX... you're lucky since that should have completely hard-bricked your phone. I think, given to your description and assuming you've got the KNOX bootloader now, your best bet would be to try to repair the install by doing what I think is referred to as a "dirty" flash... which basically means you don't format or wipe your data before you attempt another installation of the same version.
I don't know for sure though, so don't take my word without someone who knows more verifying or refuting this.
Good luck, I'll be interested in seeing what you wind up working out.

I downloaded the mk3 modem, and flashed it in odin, it fixed the softbrick. i rooted it with cf-auto and it went through no issue. disabled knox no problem, and now got cwm working.
I couldn't find a US cellular section. I have a Us cellular G s3 that was just rooted no custom rom or anything. I put awrp on it and that it. Its on 4.3, on SUnday I flashed a hacked hotspot file from sprint by mistake. On the stock ROM it get to the last samsung screen then stops. I couldn't figure it out. I put a custom ROM on and it always says roaming and can't do anything. so I dial *228 and it says welcome to Cricket so somehow it thinks its on Cricket. How can i get it back to US cellular? I have tried odin back to stock but no go. anything with a stock ROM it stops at the last samsung screen.

You are indeed at the wrong forum as this forum is for the i747U/M variants only. To try to assist you, however, you appear to have a brick caused by flashing the wrong ROM. Thankfully, it's only a soft brick and not a hard one so recovery should be possible. As you were already on 4.3, you would need to flash a complete 4.3 stock image compatible with your phone model. If my knowledge serves me right, the correct build number should be R530UVXUBMJA. You may go to sammobile.com or androidfilehost.com to search for the full downloadable zip and then flash that via custom recovery which you already have. Odin won't help you, I'm afraid, as 4.3 is not flash-able via Odin and if you are trying Odin, you are probably trying to flash an older bootloader which may just compound the problem. Hope this helps you.

Sam is available and you may be able to find the firmware you need there by using the firmware search tool. Looks like you may also be able to find it on Samsung's website via this url ... http://samsung.com/us/mobileupdates/uscc/gs3
Hey guys, so I bricked my T-Mobile Note 2 that was on Jelly Bean 4.3. I was trying to unroot it and I flashed the wrong firmware with Odin, although it was still a firmware for T-Mo. Now when the device tries to boot up, it gets to the black screen with the Samsung logo on it and stays there. I need the T889UVUCMK7 firmware and I tried downloading it from Sam-Mobile but that website requires you to buy a premium account to download fast (why?...) or suffer through 15 kb/s which is currently at 0% after downloading with a 40 mb/s connection and is expected to finish in 7 hours. The other site I tried was Samsung-updates which uses rapidgator and it downloads even slower than Sam-Mobile. So yes, I'm desperate because the device is my uncles and he wanted to unroot it since it was given to him by his son. He has work in the morning and simply can't wait til the next day to fix it. If anyone has the T889UVUCMK7 firmware, please help me out. thanks.
tl;dr: desperately need the T889UVUCMK7 firmware to flash to a bricked T-Mo Note 2. Device belongs to uncle who has work in the morning and it's late night. Tried Sam-Mobile but it downloads really slow because you have to pay for premium.... (why?...) and tried Samsung-update but links you to rapidgator to download even slower then Sam-Mobile! Thanks for your help xda.

I know it's too late now, but you could have just downloaded a stock rooted ROM from Mr. Robinson here.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975560
If you need to unroot, just do it through the SU app.
After noticing the only available firmware to flash was actually 4.2.2 my OP became meaningless.
If you know where I can find a stock 4.4.2 firmware
OR
If there is anyone with this device that can possibly send me a backup of the same device running 4.4.2 I may be able to fix my device.
I'm currently missing a recovery, and can only get into download mode due to misreading the version number on a firmware image. (My fault for not paying attention but I still hate knox)
If anyone is able to help me with this issue I would be really grateful.
If all else fails I'll see about sending it back to Samsung but they may tell me I'm out of luck.
Thanks
Just noticed that the firmware from sammobile is 4.2.2
No wonder its not working, doesn't explain why kies wont work though...
anyone know where to get the 4.4.2 firmware ?
I am having this issue my self. Can't believe kies doesn't have the right firmware! I wasted my entire day to find out that it was trying to install 4.2.2! Gah please if anyone has 4.4.2 please post links!!!
