[How-To][GUIDE] Update and Root T999 JB 4.3 update - UVUENC2 Firmware

T999 JB 4.3 update - UVUENC2 Firmware
Samsung And T-Mobile have released the next update UVUENC2 for SGH-T999.
EDIT - @mrRobinson has a Root66 version of UVUENC2. That version is KNOX Free. So my recommendation is to visit his thread and using that firmware instead.
WARNING - The following steps are only for those who had accepted the previous 4.3 Update UVUEMJC or flashed it from Root66 thread.
Essentially with the newer updates to the Odin, version 3.09 makes the process pretty easy to those who are familiar. This does work even if you have custom Rom and Custom Recovery. Both of which will be destructively replaced by the new firmware. So take a Nandroid!!! Those with Stock firmware UVUEMJC, please take a Titanium Backup of all the essential stuff to external SD. You have been warned.
1. Obtain the Stock update UVUENC2 from SamMobile Link.
2. Download the CF-AutoRoot zip file for D2TMO by @Chainfire.
3. Obtain Odin 3.09 from here. Do not run Odin.
4. Take a backup of important stuff and put the phone in Download Mode.
5. Connect the phone to the PC and let the drivers install if not installed already.
6. Execute Odin as System Admin and then choose the Stock Firmware as AP (AKA PDA in prior versions).
7. Make sure F. Reset Time Option is Checked but Auto Reboot option is unchecked.
8. Complete the Odin flash process.
9 Once that's successful, make sure the phone is still in Download mode.
10. Again Click AP (AKA PDA) and choose the CF-AutoRoot zip previously downloaded.
11. Make sure F. Reset Time Option is Checked but Auto Reboot option is unchecked.
12. Complete the Odin Flash process.
13. When it is successful, Disconncect the phone and pull the Battery. Boot the phone to Stock Recovery and wipe Cache as well as Dalvik if there's an option for Dalvik. (My Phone does not have stock so don't remember)
14. Let the phone boot normally and enjoy Rooted Stock update. Profit !
You can use Root Checker App from Play store to confirm Root. If for some reason it failed, update the binaries of the Super user app. Upon launching that app, it may prompt for the same.

This is perfect, bro! Thanks for the guide!

Is there a flashable file for just the modem?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Yes There is. @Synthetic.Nightmare Posted in this post.

Any chance we can get the boot.img or a flashable UVUENC2 kernel file? Some of us are having issues with wifi and it might be bc of the conflicting MJC kernel and NC2 modem

Care to try this out for me?
It's the UVUENC2 boot.img & kernel modules: [REMOVED FOR NOW]
EDIT: This one works: modified UVUENC boot.img

Totally agree
Is very frustrating dont have ROOT on T999UVUENC2.
My T999 was updated from 4.1.2 to 4.3 T999UVUENC2 directly and was a big mistake I alredy loose my root and cant instal CM11 by any way since I cant disable KNOX.
Heeeelp

Solved

Okay so first of all the zip file gave me an assert failed (error 7, something about writing raw file to block7) but i got round that. Second of all wifi works like a charm now but, third of all, SELinux is set to enforcing instead of permissive.
Care for a fix? haha

I'll check it out. I basically just merged a 4.3 TW install script with what I use for harkness, didn't test since I tend to stick to aosp. I think I might know what I forgot to change though. Would you mind telling me the last thing the installer says (I.e. "installing modules..."), just to help me be sure?

It installs the modules but then gets stuck at extracting boot.img. The exact error is:
assert failed: write_raw_image("/cache/boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7")
Does that help? :good:

Yes. That's exactly what I needed.
Went ahead and decided to just go ahead and install TW for some time just to get it working right.
This one should work. Tested and tried on the latest DanDroid.
I've repacked the ramdisk so that androidboot.selinux=permissive (you can check this via terminal by entering
cat /proc/cmdline
after "su"...without quotes), though the settings still seem to show selinux as enforcing.

problem with UVUENC2 update
I am on T Mobile, and received the UVUENC2 update on my SGH-T999 Samsung Galaxy SIII. But I believe that resulted in my S3's wifi radio becoming unstable-- on multiple hotspot sites (including my very reliable SSID at home), it is regularly reporting that is disconnected due to "the internet connection on this wifi site is unstable/slow" when in fact, I know that is not the case, at all. What I have to do now to correct this temporarily, is to restart my S3. But it will eventually repeat this annoying (and erroneous) "unstable/slow" wifi error reporting & disconnection. Just thought I would pass this along, since I noticed this problem with mine, specifically and only after I got this update-- the wifi connection on my S3 was working fine historically, til then.

Would this work on the videotron gs3? the baseband is different

No it will not. Even the bootloader is different.

Damn well thank you, i'll try something else

I updated to 4.3 UVUENC2 from the OTA upgrade I got from tmobile, but I can't flash a root66 version of this because it's not released yet.
My question is, I thought you couldn't just use CF-Auto-Root with a knox-enabled firmware? I thought the root wouldn't stick? Or am I misinformed?
I'm debating whether I should wait for root66 of UVUENC2 or just do your method...

Is this good to use on the t999L also?

If you have trouble getting the bootloader and/or Modem to stick, install "Triangle Away" by @Chainfire and follow the directions to reset your counter (even if it says zero), then boot into download mode, and re-flash them with Odin and they should stick.
To verify, you can download "Phone Info - Samsung" and make sure that all 4 items say NF4 (Bootloader, Baseband, PDA and CSC).

you can just odin flash the one with both of those files combine. its a lot easier than doing both of them separately

@toastido Instead of having people use Triangle away, just tell them they need to boot into Download mode after having the phone turned completely off. If you boot into download mode using an app or using CM's reboot option, the modem will not stick. If you boot into download mode using the button combination the modem will stick.
Thanks for breaking out the full tar...I love to update the modem but nothing else.

Try taking batter completely out, and then using button combination to get into download mode. It has worked flawlessly for MANY others including myself.

Because the CSC contains the "CSC Code" which is TMB.

The reason is that I've not had luck with any other way, and those who have done it with TA (and followed TA's directions) have reported success. I had NE6 not want to update for me until I did TA method. Powered down, battery pull, power up into ODIN mode, flashed in CP, still wouldn't take. I installed and ran TA, following the directions, and when it was finished, the modem stuck like a champ. Obviously YMMV, but I had to reset the flash counter first.

You should be able to ODIN flash TWRP then you will need to flash a custom kernel to get root, and flash Superuser.
I have not tried it yet though, so I have not verified if it works or not.

I tried flash clean rom via odin, fully bootup, reboot to download, installed TWRP recovery, then flashed superuser.zip. Bootloop.
There was this other article on the net about the 910C saying they got 5.1.1 but you have to flash back your booloader to 5.0.1.

Ripped the BL/CP parts straight from the firmware.
Since I assume none of you want to exactly download a 1.84GB file for just a bootloader and modem upgrade (why would you go back to stock), here are the BL/CP parts!

[Update: 13-1-16: PIT file now available to recover from a bad brick]
[DO NOT USE UNLESS YOU NEED TO REPARTITION YOUR PARTITION TABLE, OR YOU'RE IN A BAD BRICK.]
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960684492
INSTALLING THESE FILES
1. Load phone in download mode. (Vol down+Home+Power)
2. Open ODIN3 on your computer. (Make sure the Samsung drivers are installed.)
3. Load the booloader file in BL.
3a. Load the modem file in CP.
4. Hit the start button, and let the files flash.
5. If there are no error messages in the log portion of ODIN3, then you have successfully flashed and upgraded to the 5.1.1 bootloader.
NOTE: At this time, you CANNOT downgrade from the 5.1.1 bootloader, so take caution.

I'm gonna go on the limb here, I'm 50% certain you can't go back to COG2... Be very cautious... When I Odin'ed DOK2 the process seemed odd not sure why lol

Will say modem on DOK2 seems way more stable, I don't seem to have as many data drops, and me personally I could give two s**ts if I can go back to cog2..doesnt matter as you can still flash those roms, I'm on a DOK2 Bootloader and modem with a cog2 rom right now...by the way thanks for the bootloader and modem files man..lol..really didnt wanna go back to stock

Yeah, pretty much agree here. This new modem has given me a lot less data drops. I had really spotty HSPA, with it dropping so constantly. Tested it out during school today and it hasn't dropped.

N910T3 BL+CP parts ripped! I also managed to acquire a PIT file for the T3...DO NOT LOAD THE PIT FILE INTO ODIN3! I HAVE IT IN CASE SOMEONE WHO HAS A SEVERE BRICK CAN USE IT!
Same instructions as before for flashing the BL+CP parts. Reference a few posts up.

Confirm once you load DKO2 BL you can't go back to COG2 BL

You're a lifesaver. I had tons of problems with my phone and it kept failing flashes over and over again but I finally got it working with this firmware and now I'll have to see if I can root! Thank you so much! =)

You will need to flash TWRP first and then supersu.

Is the bootloader the same as the previous one?

Hmm....it looks like Xposed no longer works with this update. This is the error when you try to install it:
Xposed is not (yet) compatible with Android SDK version 19 or your processor architecture (armeabi-v7a)

Update: The Xposed_v2.6.1_by_SolarWarez_20151129.apk variant works with this release! Search for it on Google if the stock versions wouldn't run on your phone!

Use the old Xposed Installer v2.6.1 with TW 4.4.4, and you can directly install the xposed framework within the app.

Just a heads-up for anyone having trouble flashing any of these. I tried several times and re-downloaded the modem and the full firmware. They failed multiple times in multiple versions of odin(for me). I gave up on the modem but kept working on the full and it finally took but I was stuck at t-mo boot screen more than once and it wouldn't fully boot. Finally I flashed the newest twrp before taking any other measures and it finally booted.

In case it gets stuck at T-Mobile boot screen after successful firmware flash, just hold the power button till your device turns off,
Then go into stock recovery by using power+home+volume up button and do a factory reset.
It should boot fine.

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to list that I did that also. For me at least this S4 was very stubborn to take on this flash. I was mostly posting so if anyone else ran into this so they wouldn't panic. All is well now though. It came around eventually.:good:

I searched this out because I'm looking for a Stagefright fix for the S4 (my wife's phone). It looks like the other ROMs were last updated prior to Stagefright, so I expect they are not fixed. However, I'm OK with stock as long as it is rooted.
Are there any issues with rooting? I read in this article that T-Mobile put a SetUID restriction on the kernel and the normal process for TWRP and SuperSU doesn't work.
The author was writing about the UVUAMDL firmware, and offers a link to download a patched MDL kernel with the restriction removed.
Since this thread is about the UVUFOK3 (a later version), it seems likely that the SetUID restriction still exists. However the article also says "MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON UVUAMDL build OTHERWISE THIS KERNEL WILL BREAK THINGS IN YOUR PHONE!" So does that mean "UVUAMDL only - nothing newer or later" or "UVUAMDL or later"? No way to know since the article has not been updated since UVUAMDL.
Has any one successfully rooted the S4 after installing this firmware? (M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_TMB)
Is the kernel provided in M919UVUFOK3_Stock_Kernel.zip already "fixed" to remove the root restriction?

I don't know about the restriction you talking about but I have successfully flashed a custom ROM on latest OK3 firmware.

Nothing is modified as it is a stock package, stock kernel is only required if you flash some custom kernel and wanted to go back to stock by just installing the kernel instead of full ODIN.
This is what I always use to root:
1) Install latest TWRP via ODIN
2) Boot into recovery
3) Flash latest SuperSU zip using TWRP.

So it should be a fairly straightforward process? The issues technut experienced are unusual? Has anyone else installed and rooted using this ROM? Please report on how it went.

a103, when you say "flashed a custom ROM", do you mean a different ROM than the one in the OP of this thread? (since this one isn't really custom) If a different ROM, which did you flash? I didn't find many options that contained the OK3 firmware.

The phone currently is running Wicked V8 custom ROM, so I think I need to flash everything. What are the steps for updating all three; firmware, kernel, and modem? Is there a particular order to flash them in Odin?
I read in another place that the firmware contains the Modem so I wouldn't need to flash the modem in addition to the full firmware (M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_TMB.zip). Is that true in this case? Does it include both modem and kernel?
Edit - After searching out how to open tar.md5 files I can now see that the full firmware does include the kernel and modem files. So installing that one should sufficient to update everything.

Just flash the firmware, it has the kernel and modem in it.

a103, did you have any of the problems reported by technut above? Was it a smooth process of flashing?
Here's what I think has been said:
0) Before starting - copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip, Titanium Backup APK, and Titanium Backup data onto ExtSD card.
1) start phone into download mode, Use ODIN to flash M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_M919UVUFOK3_HOME.tar.md5
2) restart into stock, let it stabilize.
If any problems or stuck on Tmo screen, restart into stock recovery and do factory reset
3) once booted into stock FW, power off.
4) restart into download mode, use Odin to flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-jfltetmo.tar
5) boot into TWRP
6) install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
7) reboot into Android - phone is now rooted again and ready to go.
8) restore user apps (not system apps or data) from TiBu, restore TiBu XML data for SMS and call logs, etc.
