Good. That is germany ne6 kitkat. Make sure your baseband is updated to XXUCNE6. Go to settings > About phone and check the baseband version. If it says xxucne6 then you are good to go.

[Q] Need help with hyperdrive

sorry if i posted in the wrong forum area...this is my first post. I need help removing hyperdrive and installing stock rom. I have the SGH i747m from rogers. I have no idea how i installed hyperdrive believe it or not. My friend kinda helped me alot with it. And i have no idea how to revert back to the original version of touchwiz/Android.

Download your firmware from http://sammobile.com/firmwares
Flash with Odin v3.04 or v3.09.
There are tons of guides for how to flash firmware with Odin, so I'm not gonna rewrite another here. You can find Odin download links in my sig. There's also a firmware thread linked there. You can use it for general instructions since the process is exactly the same. Just don't use the firmware linked there.
It was written based on Odin v3.04 so you may want to use that.

cf-auto root, or flash SuperSU with custom recovery.

T999LUVUBNF4 Root
Hey, I've been trying to root my S3 running the T999LUVUBNF4 firmware, but I'm having trouble. Towelroot doesn't support it, I haven't seen anything about a Root66, and I've heard mixed reports on CF-auto root. Does anyone know if there is a workable solution yet? How would I go about flashing SuperSU? Thanks.

Okay I've recently just flashed the root66 firmware that gave me supersu and all that.
My question is... Where do i go from here?
How would i proceed to
1) Install TWRP?, which version as well? Is 2.8 d2tmo fine? Can i have some instructions whether i use TWRP manager(goomanager doesn't seem to exist anymore) or do i have to go into download and flash through odin 3.09?
2) Installing a custom rom? I want to install Paranoid Android 4.6 beta 5 for D2lte but i'm not sure how to go about it. I have already downloaded the rom itself but not sure how to proceed from here. Also, how would i get the working and latest version of Gapps? (Also, can you tell me how to install Cyanogenmod 11 for d2lte as well?)
3) What are some cool apps to get?
4) Which root apps/roms/softwares will brick my phone? I'm never sure which thing will work and which won't.
5) how do i install xposed?
6) How do i remove all the bloatware? and how would i got about flashing through my phone without using the computer? is mobile odin compatible with my phone?
My phone is the SGH-T999L and i have no idea if i have a locked bootloader and how i would go about and bypass the limitations of this locked bootloader

Please don't post the same thing on multiple threads. Not being rude but it doesn't help at all

Rooting SGH-T99L with T999LUVUBNF4
I've read most of the more recent posts, and it is still unclear to me how to root my T999L which is already on the T999LUVUBNF4 baseband and build. I've seen references to cf-auto-root (like serio22 above), but the T999 (which I believe works for T999L) is based on T999UVALEM, which is 4.0.4 ICS. I certainly don't want to downgrade that far. The latest firmware on the first page of this Root66 thread is T999L_UVUBNC1, and there was a post indicating better reception with the newer modem, so I'd rather not downgrade that either. If I flash T999L_UVUBNC1 will my baseband remain intact (BNF4)? Or should I wait for a pre-rooted T999L_UVUBNF4? Or is there a better way altogether to root my T999L/BNF4?
Also, for other n00bs reading this, it's pretty clear that towelroot doesn't work on BNF4.
Thanks!!

rooted Windmobile 4.4.4
anyone have 4.4.? for wind mobile what ever is the new one stock that is rooted ?

I tried flashing UVDLJC - UVDMD5 (latest OTA update) using Multiboot Recovery v2.2 - (twrp2.8.3.0)
When flashing directly onto blank partition, I got some error about missing build.prop, and so decided to try flashing on top of stock ROM.
Stock I have installed as Flash PureStock Rom + Secure UVAMB7 Kernel (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43772060&postcount=3) -- again, in multiboot -- and tried installing OTA on top of that. Got "error executing updater binary in zip"
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

slimkat v9 to stock tw
Please help me. I have a sgh-t999. I want to know is it safe to install stock tw t999_uvuenc2. I'm currently running slimkat v9. My baseband is t999uvuenc2 and my android version is 4.4.4 i really want my s3 to revert back to stock. Ive been asking to the roms posted in this unit if it safe to direct flash but i havent got a good advice. I really want the stock touchwiz. Pls help me.

Which firmware to use
After I un-bricked my SGH-T999 with the debrick image sdcard ( YAYYY), I was able to boot with the stock 4.3 rom again.
I reflash the root66 4.3 firmware hoping it could get the correct boot image back in place. However it got stuck at the Samsung logo.
So I went into stock recovery and did a wipe/factory reset. Now I can still boot with the debrick sdcard but I am back in JellyBean (4.1.2 T999UVDMD5).
Which firmware should I flash 4.3 or 4.1.2? And did I miraculously downgraded my firmware ( I thought it wasn't possible) ?

[Q] SGH-i747m unknown baseband and imei

All, I have a rooted SGH-i747m, on which I had CM11. I replaced that with SlimBean recently, but lost my LTE. So, this morning I updated the modem to I747MUMUEND3 as is found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898. Now I have no IMEI and baseband. Unfortunately I did NOT backup my EFS.
I have read so many posts and tried various things....but I just don't see any way to restore my IMEI and baseband (and get signal back!).
* I have tried a few of the other modems to no avail.
* I tried a restore from a backup I had of CM11 via CWM, but I'm guessing that doesn't backup the NVRAM settings.
* Attempts to use things like *#7284# yields "mobile network not available".
* the S3 doesn't seem to provide a COM port so I don't see how I could use NV-reader-writer even if I had a NVRAM backup file.....
Please advise.

What bootloader is on your phone? It may just be a case of a mismatch between the modem and bootloader.

Not quite sure.....but I did have CM11 on there and I believe a 4.4 bootloader was installed. I ended up reinstalling stock firmware, then reinstalling slim bean and everything works now.

I'm having a similar issue, no modem and carrier support after restoring to an earlier, stock ROM than was on my phone (sgh-i747) before OTA soft-bricked it.
My bootloader is now NJ1 and I can't find or flash a bootloader_modem package to update my modem, attempt to do so fails with status 7 and baseband version remains blank... while everything else on my phone is MJB = mismatch.
I'd like to know exactly what you did to fix yours, dolhop, but it may not help me as I'm already at an NJ1 bootloader

I don't even know how to check which bootloader I am using. I simply used odin to reflash a stock from from sammobile from download mode. That worked. From there I used odin to flash CWM, then used CWM to flash in slim bean.

Status 7 error can be due to an outdate recovery. Are you running the latest CWM or TWRP?

Since you have an i747, you cannot use any firmware from sammobile.com on your phone.

My CWM is version 6.0.2.3, not most current (6.0.4.7 is latest?) - I got CWM and Team Epic Custom Recovery v5 bundled on androidcentral when I first rooted my phone
I looked at sammobile.com and only saw 4.1.1 for ATT US and didn't even bother... I got the 4.3 stock recovery I flashed here, which resurrected by phone, but unfortunately it was already at 4.4.x, aaaaand now I've got no baseband (mismatch)

baseband imei unknown - tried virtually every modem out there - help

Hi everyone,
I know this problem is well known and solved many times already, but I'm not being able to solve it by myself. This is why I'm posting this thread as a last resort to try and get some help, just in case i missed something..
My phone is currently with unknown baseband and IMEI on stock 4.4.2 flashed via kies recovery. If I try to flash any 4.4.4 port ROM the phone locks up seconds after boot, it will only work with stock rom. I already tried a few modems i found on another threads but no success.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

from sammobile, download newest firmware for your region and unpack it from stock rom and then pack it with 7zip to tar file and flash it with Odin.
you need sboot and modem

Isn't that a bit pointless? Maybe I'm missing the point, but if I already have flashed latest firmwares from both sammobile and kies, it kind of makes the point that modem and bootloader files from sammobile don't solve the problem, right?
Thanks.

Well truly doesnt seem pointless
I got my baseband resolved (Previously showed 'Unknown') by flashing pure stock rom (got from SamMobile) THROUGH ODIN so might be there is a point.
Try stock rom flashing from odin as according to me stock rom has everything in it radio(Baseband),boot(efs), system, etc etc

The unknown baseband and imei can be due to a modem and bootloader mismatch.
To confirm the bootloader and modem on the phone, install the Samsung Phone Info app from the play store to confirm the version.
