It seems that your English is not that good. To avoid errors, your ODIN must look like this.

As you see in the image
ODIN version is 3.04
N7100XXDMC3_N7100OXXDMC2_N7100XXDLK7_HOME.tar.md5 is firmware update file that must be chosen through the "PDA" button.

Well all right then.
If you cannot enter recovery after a proper stock rom flash, that's a bad news.
I agree with the rest. When you flash stock you should be able to access recovery. If not this is a big problem. I say try flashing either a newer stock rom or go back to square one and start all over from original stock. Some times that is the best way to solve your problems.

[Q] Downgrade to 4.2.2 to 4.1.2

Hello Guys
thanks for reading my post and helping me on this.
So i want to downgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2 (4.2,2 is very slow.. atleast on my grand).
I downloaded the stock rom from XDA , this one was for 776 mb and had only the ROM in it, While using ODIN , "pit" is required (ODIN prompts for this).
Question:
1, Can i use the pit , modem and bootloader files (from 4.2.2 rom) or are these specific to the ROM?
2. If no , can you please suggest where i can download these files for 4.1.2 rom.
Pasting SS of both ROM and these files....

Hi can you please share the link where u've downloaded all thode files(MODEM,PIT,et., ) for 4.1.2.
There is a long discussion about this topic if anybody care to use the search function.
The files on the screenshot are for XUBMF2 which is 4.2.2 not 4.1.2
I have downgraded 2x already from leak and russian 4.2.2 and I always used 1 file from the XXAMF7 downloaded from sammobile. Just wipe data and cache before reboot or you will have boot loop. Do not check repartition in odin or else odin will ask for pit file which is not needed.
All the needed files are inside the tar.md5 file. Odin automatically loads them. So no need for all those files previously req by leak.

Hi,
You don't need Chinese firmware to flash 11 GB pit.
If you do it for first time, provide modem, recovery, and param.bin (so you won't loss MTP). Flash PIT, then modem and recovery, and later, param (after installing ROM).
Regards.

I just need a to flash via ODIN and then i will root it again.
If u Google how to root sgh t989 there should be a lot of posts with the .tar file and stock ROM I just recently had to do this I'm not sure from which site but the links were live from several sites

Yes this is only the firmware, and No, you can't flash the OTA over a custom ROM. Currently you have to be completely stock.

Well, this bricked my phone. Was running CM11 and had flashed the ND8 modem earlier, which didn't cause any problems. Then I flashed this file in custom recovery, rebooted to find that I had zero cell phone signal, attempted to reboot into download to flash the update.zip file I got from the ota thread, ended up with a phone that does nothing at all. Am I to understand that I'm stuck like this until I buy an SD card reader and install/run a live CD of linux?
Link removed. This is the second account of bricking from flashing this file that I've received, even though I had no issues when flashing.
As of now, the only way I'd recommend of updating to anything ND8 related (including the modem) would be to flash the stock tar in the android dev section and go from there.
