I'm trying to flash the stock Fido i747M rooted rom on a AT&T i747 device, but I continuously get a "FAIL!" message in Odin, and a "SECURE CHECK FAIL : sbl2" message on the phone.
I was able to successfully flash an AT&T rooted stock rom from the same thread, but the Fido file keeps failing.

Why not just flash at&t rooted stock in Odin then download what ever ROM you want on it ?
Will the SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 UNIFIED TOOLKIT V7.0 work on a i747 using 4.3.
Currently, there is no free unlock method for the s3 running stock 4.3.
Looking here: http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=213, I see no mention of 4.3 being supported by the toolkit.
CF AutoRoot
CF-Auto-Root worked on my S3 running stock 4.3. I was hating the new Knox and had to get out. I think it took 2 tries but was very painless.

What version of the S3 are you using? Looks like most of the problems reported have been with the AT&T i747.

Did you want a rooted ROM or just a method for unlocking the 4.3?

I want to unlock and root my i747. My note 2 is a bell phone. My i747 is from rogers. Is there a difference in the downloads. Thanking you for the help.
You could load a rooted 4.3 rom , use mobile Odin to downgrade to 4.1.1 to see if you can use the free unlock method. Just don't try to downgrade the bootloader; otherwise, you'll have to buy an unlock code.
The link should have a download for Rogers 4.3.

Once you install a 4.3 stock bootloader, you cannot downgrade the bootloader.
When you flash the Rogers pre-rooted 4.3 rom via desktop Odin, you are replacing the existing bootloader with an identical bootloader and replacing the existing ROM with a 4.3 ROM.
When you flash the Rogers pre-rooted 4.1.1 ROM via desktop Odin, Odin tries to replace the 4.3 bootloader with a 4.1.1 bootloader which can't be done and causes a soft brick.
You can try re-installing the pre-rooted Rogers 4.3.ROM and use mobile Odin to downgrade the OS from 4.3 to 4.1.1. Mobile Odin will not touch the existing bootloder or modem.

When you install the 4.1.1 from AT&T, there is not sound or phone service because the modem is probably incompatible with the ROM.
When installing the 4.1.1 Rogers ROM via mobile Odin, go into recovery and do a factory wipe/reset. Hopefully, doing this will allow the phone to boot.

Found an original copy of rogers 4.1.1, installed worked good but no sound or cell. Installed 4.2 modem got sound and and cell back. Phone now boots up ok and says it is in 4.1.1. Unlock code still not working, 4th menu not coming up, rebooted, tried numerous things, no luck. I think the boot loader from 4.3 is somehow blocking this from working. Not sure were to go from here, any ideas.
Another user loaded a stock 4.1.1 ROM onto his phone with a 4.3 bootloader and could not get the necessary menu options to unlock which leads me to believe you need to be running a completely stock ROM, including the bootloader.

Galaxy S3 - soft-bricked - able to get into Download Mode - how to fix?
Long story short - i tried doing a manual kitkat update and I am stuck at the screen shown in the attachment.
As in the attachment, I am able to get to the DOWNLOAD MODE screen by pressing Volume-down+Home+ Power. My question how do i flash Jelly Bean or Kit Kat on this phone - I just want to get back to a working phone.
Here are things I have tried:
I tried downloading a ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625, and using Odin (pressed on PDA button and selected image to flash) and I get an error ... the screenshot for the error is also attached.
History - This Samsung Galaxy S3 has an AT&T Jellybean 4.3 image but the phone is unlocked from the initial carrier (AT&T) and being used with T-Mobile now.

I sincerely appreciate any help here - this is my only phone and totally unusable right now.

Looks like it's kind of hard to find the stock ROM downloads on this forum, so I decided to reupload it for the convenience of everyone and me. Are you stuck and need to start over fresh? Returning the phone to manufacturer/mobile service provider? Selling your phone and need original firmware? You are at the right thread. These are for Odin, not for CWM or other recoveries. Most of these are .zip/.rar file extension and if you need help extracting those get WinRAR. If your download is asking for a password, you can find it below in this post. Order is as follows: top is newest, bottom is oldest. You can also find stock ROMS on these websites:

There is no full tock 4.3 ROM for the i747. ATT only released 4.3 as an update to 4.1.
You should flash a custom recovery and flash a custom ROM to at least get your phone working.
Do do make any attempts to flash the att firmware from sammobile onto your phone as doing so may brick your phone.
Thanks for the great tip. THis is my first time - so where can I find custom ROMs? I am having trouble finding the right images. The phone was running Jellybean earlier, so OK just going back to that. Any links on where to find Custom ROMS and a suggestion on whcih exact file to use would be really helpful.
Thank you very much

Do this to at least get your phone booted:
Download the latest tar.md5 file from here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_...Edition/d2lte/
Download the latest CM10.2 and put it onto your external SD card. I know CM10.2 is but you need to get your phone working so you can determine the bootloader version on your phone. Place the SD card into the phone.
Launch Odin 3.07, make sure everything is unchecked except for F.reset time. Click on PDA, browse and select the tar.md5 file you downloaded, boot phone in download mode, connect phone to computer, flash recovery. When you see the word reset in the status window, disconnect the USB cable, pull the battery, boot into recovery mode, wipe cache, wipe data, wipe Dalvik, flash CM10.2, reboot.
Hello,
I have updated my S3 i747m to kitkat 4.4.2 from Rogers, but now I want to give it to a family member that doesnt understand english/korean/french, so I was wondering if I can use Odin to flash the AT&T 4.4.2, or if that would be like trying to downgrade and brick the phone.
Or if there is any other easy way to flash the AT&T 4.4.2 on a already updated device to 4.4.2.
You can try stock AT&T ROM on your phone as long as you do not flash the ATT bootloader and possibly the modem. To be safe, don't flash the ATT modem either.
Should I just flash a Bell rom since I am on Virign mobile or is that a bad idea? (Sorry this is my first time flashing a stock rom).

Yes, you can flash the same version (bootloader) of the Bell ROM; that is mk5 over mk5, nk2 over nk2.

What bootloader are you on? Enewman17 made an ODIN flashable file for Android 4.3 MJB. I don't think anyone made an ODIN file for Android 4.4.2 NE4 or 4.4.2 NJ1, but I could be wrong. I know there are flashable .zip files for NE4 and NJ1 to update that you flash in TWRP or CWM recovery.
Im running NE4
The latest is NJ1 which was available from AT&T as an OTA update only. You need to unrooted and running stock recovery in order to install the update.
I do not recommend downgrading the bootloader as this would probably brick your phone.
Did you try reinstalling the Samsung drivers?
I'm running 4.3 but want to upgrade to official 4.4 or any stock firmware that's snappier than 4.3, don't know much since I just got the phone and I've already rooted it with twrp recovery...
Confused about what to flash, please help
For stock 4.4.2, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ile-sgh-i747ucufne4v4-4-2attall-odin-t3305899
Thank you for the link but I'm still confused how... Should I just odin the firmware or what
Yes, the files are flashed via Odin in the appropriate slots.
