[1.5Qs] Rooted /stock ROM and http://bit.ly/Pl8hMb

If already rooted the stock ROM on a new TMo S3 with the first ODIN-based solution posted (CM recovery), can I use the ROM manager to update the newly released TMo update via stock ODIN flashable ROM with root injected into the system image - TMO T999UVALH2, without having to go through all the steps with ODIN, ...
If the ROM manager is not to be used for root66_TMO_T999UVALH2.tar, then are the steps provided in the link above still useable, even for previously rooted S3?
[OT] After having rooted the phone, checking the flash counter I found it to be 3. Any idea why?

Root66 version is a tar file so u have to update via Odin. Also u need to be on stock recovery not cwm.

Thank you for the follow-up. Although I am done with the upgrade via the easiest path: Kies to be able to install the latest official OTA-released -> then re-root using the original link I sent, I am a little confused about your last statement: the root66 I have is inclusive of the UVALH2, which is the latest official version, in my understanding. I found a reference to an UVALH3 (supposedly JB related), but that is not what Samsung / TMo delivered OTA lately, and I don't think that's what you meant?!?

*******Upgrading 4.1.1 to 4.2.1 or 4.3********HELP!!

Hi Guys,
Here is a breakdown of the facts:
I have a SGH-I747 (Canadian version)
I wanted to unlock it so I downgraded and installed 4.1.1 (I747MUMLL1)
After, I realized that the 4.1.1 is outdated and don't like the layout...etc.
Now, I want to go back to 4.2.1 or 4.3.
What are the steps to install 4.2.1 or 4.3 ?
Do I have to root the phone before installing anything?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

either Odin to 4.3 or check system update in setting

How did you downgrade?
...i've been looking around a a way to unlock on 4.3 but most info is for 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, do you remember how you did it?

You cannot downgrade the bootloader, only the ROM.
It has been theorized that downgrading the ROM to 4.1.1 and keeping the 4.3 bootloader would give you the necessary options to unlock the phone using the free method, but no one has posted the results of doing this.
I couldn't find a ROM matching MUMLL1 but many ROMs are located here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-I747M&pcode=BMC#firmware

Look on samfirmware.com for stock ROMs for your carrier. The firmware must be flashed via desktop Odin.

I read in one of these threads that flashing via Mobile Odin, rather than desktop Odin, will flash the ROM but not the bootloader. Can anyone confirm if it is possible to safely downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.1 via this method?

I have downloaded lastest firmware for Telus from Sammobile.
Should I just use odin and install the new firmware? Do I need to do something to the ROM before I install the firmware? I'm a newbie to flashing so all the help would be help.

If you are using an i747m, you can use Odin to flash the firmware.

You're welcome for the firmware link.
Also, seeing as he's on 4.3, perhaps he doesn't want to trip knox, which your bullish statement will do.
I asked you nicely in pm to link to my thread instead of stealing my links, but since you ignored that, be prepared to have me comment on your posts where you try to pass them off as your own, or at least fail to attribute.
I appreciate that you want to help others, but please attribute links and/our abide by the posters requests when they ask you.

That's strange, I never did have any issues when rooting or re-rooting
my phone. Usually when I see someone having problems rooting it's
usually caused by not using the time-tested method of odin flashing the
correct and latest version of cf-autoroot designed for the N900T.
Good luck!

Follow the directions from Effortless. And get the free version of Triangle Away (link in OP). It's "effortless".

Is it necessary to upgrade? IMO not really unless you care about VoLTE and Download booster. In that case here's what I would do to upgrade and retain root and knox 0x0:
Download ne6 firmware from link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2769856
Followed this instruction below to update from 4.3 MI7 to 4.4.2 ne6 and ne6 bootloader and keep root and not trip knox. OR if I'm not mistaken, you can just flash ne6 rom and bootloader via PC odin without tripping knox since they are stock firmware and bootloader. Then root with www.towelroot.com.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53016778&postcount=9
After you update to ne6 with root, f you wanna keep going and update to latest nf4 then go to the thread below, and download nf4 firmware, bootloader, and MODEM+NON-HLOS. Follow step 2 on how to update to nf4 and retain root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...900tuvudnf4-extracted-stock-firmware-t2834398

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

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!!

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?

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) ?

Back to stock ROM Galaxy S3 i747

Hello people, first of all I dont know if im in the right place, Im new to this forum.
My situation is that I want to restore back to stock ROM my i747 with a custom rom running on android 4.4.4 with SlimROM, my Kernel is 3.4.104-cyanogenmod-g38a4e52
Baseband i747UCUEMJB
I passed through 4.3 stock ROM, then i flashed to Cyanogen 12 with android 5.1.1 and now Im with SlimKat with android 4.4.4. I want to go back to stock ROM, but I read about the locked bootloader on newer versions of android, I dont really know much about this thing, but I think that is if I want to go back to 4.1, im i right
The thing is, can I go back to 4.3 stock rom
Thank you.

The bootloader is not locked; however, it cannot be downgraded to anything before 4.3.

If you want the Stock Odin MJB 4.3 file, and can't locate it, let me know and I'll upload it.

I don't need the files as I never had an i747 but I used to have the i747m.
The op may need them though.

Thank you guys for your help, so Im good as soon as I flash to 4.3 stock, what about the recovery, is that made by Odin? Or should I first flash a specific one?
About the 4.4.2, is it better than the 4.3 and would I be able to go to 4.3 in case I get the NE4?
Again thank you for your answers.

Once you upgrade to the 4.4.2 bootloader, you cannot downgrade to the 4.3 bootloader.

Stock Recovery will be installed by Odin.
