Try these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498233, stock at&t rooted without Knox (Believe me man, better without knox). But they are only leaks of the official firmware. I am not a professional developer so you might wanna create a new thread and ask if it's possible in you're situation.

The Canadian and US phones are pretty similar. Maybe a Canadian rom will work?

No it won't work. Since it is a stock rom it most likely will not work, he won't be able to call, text, or use data.

I wasn't sure if the OP could install some sort of stock firmware to get his phone going and then install the necessary radio.

The best choice for him is to stick to a custom rom until the AT&T 4.3 update releases.

Wow. it seems as if you got people in here just giving you ODIN TARS to flash. i wouldnt listen/ flash anything than the leaked 4.3 update for att because MOST odin files have bootloader upgrades in them and if you are on 4.3 you will brick trying to restore stock

Based on the OP, the phone is currently running Verizon's 4.1 which leads me to believe the bootloader has not been updated beyond 4.1.2 since recovery mode is accessible; therefore, I think flashing 4.11 or 4.1.2 stock roms would be fine.
As always, it's best to check the installed bootloader before proceeding with any more flashes.
I used the stock firmware from here to downgrade my Bell s3 from stock 4.1.2 to stock 4.1.1.

I used the mobile Odin method of flashing back and I also used triangle away before I did this if it's worth mentioning. So after struggling with getting back to stock all day I finally make it happen I put my SIM card back in and notice I am getting no cell phone reception. WiFi works but without WiFi I can't do anything data wise. I contacted t-mobile support and they found no issues with the SIM card
Anyone have ideas on what I can do to fix this?
Anyone? I'm kind of stuck here

Ok so more info, I used this unroot method and followed it very close:
http://www.androidrootz.com/2012/10/how-to-unroot-samsung-galaxy-s3-no.html
I'm guessing this is what is causing the problem, I flashed the modem from UVDMD5. Only the modem I could not get anything else flash on odin so it was only the modem. So if I had to guess its a problem of getting the right modem back on the phone.
(On a side note, will I ever be able to get my phone back to 100% stock/able to get official updates,ect? Is it even possible?)
Edit: As far as the baseband goes it says "unknown".
I have no idea what that version is. I Suspect its the dreaded UVUEMJC. You will need to flash UVUEMJC Modem for T999 from this thread.
EDIT- Yes its indeed possible to go back to complete stock in order to receive Stock updates. After your IMEI is restored, you can use KIES to go back to complete stock. Please realize, you can also get latest update from Sammobile.com and flash it via Odin

Dont know if you remember but I am the guy you helped in the other thread get unrooted. I was the one having trouble with it getting stuck at "system" when I was trying to get back to stock with the firmware from sammobile.com. Do you think it would be ok to try it again now that I'm on stock?
Don't recall the conversation. But there is a easier way to unroot by removing SuperSU after you get your IMEI back.

Also so how do I go about flashing a different modem without being rooted? Do I just do it through odin like I did before? Or will I need to reroot/get a custom recovery?
If you don't have custom Recovery, then use mobile Odin to flash the Modem.
Better yet, please flash UVUEMJC Firmware via Odin again.

Ok so after my last post I figured it needed to be rooted so I triedx to root66 method and got this message:

In other words stuck in the same boat as the old thread.
Please post the complete log data from the second image of Root66.
You don't flash a modem that way. It can brick.
Guys
My mobile model is SM-N750 (Indian edition).
I have successfully flashed stock firmware thru ODIN earlier. Recently I changed my firmware to Pakistan from Sammobile.
Now I like to go back to Indian firmware, however it is failing again & again. I am though successfully able to flash Pakistan firmware again.
Phone is working properly but cant go back to Indian firmware.
Please check.
I know how to flash in ODIN. This is something diff.
1- Try another source of odin, same version but another source
2- Try flashing the firmware more than once, it will work in one of them
3- Try different firmware and see if it worker, then the problem is with the firmware
4- Make sure the files are for your mobile version
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried 3 firmware files. No luck.
I think I guess what is the issue. Pak firmware version is higher than Indian firmware version. So the bootloader has been changed. That is the reason it is not allowing to install a lower bootloader firmware.
I hope once sammobile will have KK firmware downloadable I would be able to flash that.
I am successfully able to flash Indian Kitkat ROM from Sammobile.
So the point to be noted...You can not go back to old firmware once you upgraded to new one.

That did not work. I have tried that earlier. It was older that PAK firmware...
Now I am successfully flashed Kitkat.
I have the Sm-t800 (wifi) Tab s 10.5 and want to update it but I've been out of the game for a while.
I am currently running 4.4.2 IronRom v1.9.7 t800.. so you know its been a minute since I updated. I am kinda in a bind on how to flash the latest stock firmware (what are we actually on now) and to stick with stock or something AOSP. I literally use the device 99% to watch local storage movies or Netflix so that is what i need functional.
Thanks for the help in advance.
I flashed from a rooted stock kitkat to the latest stock lollipop using odin, getting ready for MM if we ever get it.
I get my stock firmware from SamMobile it downloads fast enough for me, you need to register.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
EDIT: A couple of questions if anybody can help
1: I flashed from stock lollipop back to stock kitkat using odin, my T800 was stuck on the Samsung logo and would not go past it, I booted to recovery and flashed lollipop and everything was fine and my T800 booted and setup fine.
2: How can i force a power-down from the Samsung logo, all i can do is reboot or get into recovery, I have done this before but i cannot remember the buttons to hold.

Thanks for the info.. I found the sammobile site but I was confused on which firmware (country mainly) to use since there wasn't specifically a US file. I was thinking "cellular south"?
I am using an Wifi only 10.5" so my firmware choice is easy.
It might be an idea to install TWRP first so you can backup your current rom in case you have a problem.

Your right, where are the USA roms? I downloaded the UK v5.0.2 lollipop from the link below.
Hopefully somebody can point you to the correct US rom, you need a different rom for exynos vs snapdragon cpu, though i think only the cell version has the snapdragon.
When i flash the stock lollipop, TWRP was gone and ROOT as well, ready for MM.

Well I flashed the stock UK lollipop v5.0.2 from SamMobile and i got an small fix firmware update from Samsung so updates are working for me, so i expect if you flash your correct firmware for your tab you will get them too.

I'm using an ATT carrier unlocked S20+ on the Verizon network. I keep checking for an OTA update but nothing has come through. This is my first carrier unlocked phone so I'm not sure how I'd get updates or where they would come from. I've included some screen shots.
Would I be able to flash the new firmware through Odin if I cant get OTAs? If so, which firmware would I use? Verizon, ATT?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Did you flash 2.5 manually, or was it OTA? If it was OTA, you could just wait for ATT to release Android 11 for your device.
Either way, you could flash any G986U ROM. Any of these should work: https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G986U

I didn't flash anything. I bought it like this used. So I'd have to flash an ATT rom then. Would the phone receive an OTA update if ATT puts out an update even though I'm on Verizon network with a Verizon sim? Thanks for the info.

Don't worry. Flashing via Odin won't trigger knox status. Just remember to select HOME_CSC before you start flashing if you want to keep all your apps and data

i have a regular factory unlocked S20 (u.s. variant). can i make an image backup of my current phone and if need be revert back from Android 11 to Android 10 with the backed up image?
Thanks for all the info! I flashed the VZW version seamlessly. I used the patched Odin with no issues.
Now will I be able to receive any OTA updates or will I need to continue to flash new updates from now on?
Thanks again!
