Galaxy S3 Major Root Confusion Update! - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello Please if possible be very Noob friendly with your instructions, thanks
Ok I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T on Firmware 4.3
So I noticed the 4.4.2 Update came out and i really want to update to it but I couldn't OTA because it would say update failed later discovered this is because my S3 is rooted
Now I am in the middle of trying to unroot my galaxy s3 and am very confused i tried doing backup and reset obviously that didnt work i am very confused on how this Odin software works so if you someone could give me very noob specific directions it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in Advance

Just open the SuperSU app and select Full Unroot. Let it do its thing and you're unrooted.
Or follow enewman17's thread for how to update.

I believe unrooting will only be successful if none of the AT&T apps were removed from the device. I forgot about that point and I had to flash the 4.3 stock image in order to successfully install the OTA update to 4.4.2. The OTA will try to patch all that ATT bloat during installation; if its not there it will fail.

Could you please give me a download link or something to the 4.3 stock image for odin?
Everytime i download one it always some weird files that i do not know how to utilize through odin
So if you could give me a stock 4.3 that would be great thanks

I used this method in post #1 to go back to stock 4.3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565972
Contrary to other posts...I only had Auto Reboot checked and that worked for me.
This will also wipe all data from your device...make sure you backup pics/vids/contacts/etc. before you do this.
After you take the OTA update, I can also confirm that TowelRoot will successfully root the ATT GS3 running KitKat. Although the documentation says no reboot is required...I needed a reboot after rooting with towelroot.

My sincerest apologies. Correct. I used that link for you because the instructions were clear and concise. The firmware download should be good from here: http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS3/SGH-I747/StockROMS.net-SGH-I747_ATT_1_20120522193451.zip

Correct...make sure you put your phone in download mode as well (Hold down Volume Down, Center Home, and Power buttons together for about 10 seconds...When your screen turns off, let go of the Power button but keep holding down Volume Down and Center Home buttons....When you see the warning screen, hit Volume Up button...Connect a microUSB cable from your phone to computer...Run Odin...click on “PDA”, then choose the file you downloaded...click on Start once Odin "loads" the file...wait 10-15 minutes for the flash too occur...after coming back from a reboot you should be on stock 4.3)

Your Odin flash failed because you tried to flash a much older firmware. LEM. You need to flash the 4.3 firmware. You can use this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722660
Enewman17 has one too I think. Not sure where exactly right now though.

Ok i got all the files combined now i see a csc a AP file and alot of the file catergories from Odin do i only need the AP file for PDA or do i need to insert each corresponding file into each corresponding category in Odin?

I don't have this device so its apparently a little different than I'm used to in this regard. Check post 13 of that thread to see if that helps. Otherwise someone more familiar with that particular process will need to chime in.

eastlink sghm919v Canadian s4 keeps failing when flashing stock Rom.

Hey fellow sgh-m919v owners in Canada!
Need some help here!
I am trying to Flash my eastlink wireless sigh-m919v back to stock and uproot it but it keeps failing in different times depending on the Rom I'm flashing.
On the older firmware I downloaded from sammobile.com it almost finishes then gets to modem.bin and says fail(auth) with a big red fail sign. On the phone it says secure check fail:mdm
When I try the newest one it doesn't even want to start. Odin starts then fails right away stating. Fail at sbl2.Mbn and Secure check fail: sbl2 on the phone.
Note when I go into download mode it does state that my phone is a sghm919v, current binary custom, system status custom, csb-oem_config_lbs:0x38 or 0x30. Too small to tell.
Note. I'm able to install custom roms and recoveries fine but not stock roms.
What am I doing wrong? Can someone give me step by step instructions? I'm using a Partially installed stock Rom and want it to be fully installed.
Any help is appreciated
Are you sure you are using the correct Rom...???
There is always the possibility the OS (operating system) you are attempting to install is not the correct one, and thus producing a conflict, and also a negative out come.
Can you post your Model, Make and Carrier, possibly the weblink where you are getting you update from.
Just to get a second opinion, and rule out that you are indeed getting the right download. As each Carrier is hardware sensitive, as to the type of Android OS it supports...
Well im not 100% sure im using the right one but 98% sure I am using the right one.
My phones downlosd mode says its a sgh-m919v. Canadian model of t mobile m919
I got the roms from sammobile.com
I used the firmware ending in esk thinking that meant eastlink but yesterday I doenloaded the wind, mobilicity and videotron versions of samr ftimware to see if yheres any differrnce.
Have yet to try. Will try soon

It might be all possible that you just have a simple hardware issue.
Instead of trying the latest, can you humor the conversation by trying the first update on the SamMobile site...!!!
Anything but the last or latest, try to roll back as far as you can...!!!
modem.bin is the radio file. does your phone boot into android and work fine after failing at modem.bin or it does not boot.
You can also try different version of Odin say 3.04 or a different usb port or both.
edit
could also be that the firmware file is not fully downloaded.can you check the md5 on the file to be same as that from sammobile.

OK... so Odin flashing just doesn't work...
the latest based firmware MG1 stops almost instantly with an Sb2 error....
the oldest based firmware MDJ stops at modem install "secure check fail mdm"
I am however able to flash any custom recovery and from there install anything I want via CWM
Now... I was interested in flashing an alternative modem on my M919V (as my research leads me to understand that LTE is disabled on my device) I really wanted to just flash the M919 Modem...
so I searched and searched for a way to flash the modem to another one... all of reading said not to do it... it's too risky, ect.... BUT... some said it can be done and claimed success.... so I gave it a try...
Odin flash of ANY modem gives an error... same "secure check fail mdm" No CWM modem flash exists... I did find some other devices that had CWM modems to flash but flashing them gave a Baseband "unknown" IMEI "unknown"... so that was super scary... until I repacked the CWM modem zip with my device modem and I was back in business....
Long story short... you can't flash anything Via Odin in this phone really except a recovery... everything else pretty much fails which leads me to think either it was something to do with the partition scheme or the bootloader... I'm unsure as I really am not a developer just a daring competent xda rom addict...
IF you are on M919V and wish to flash modems (granted you will want to only flash a modem specific to M919V) examples would be the MG1 or MDJ... I have found a method that works everytime... you will need to have root via CF-ROOT or a custom rom which has root (that you flashed via CMW after to odin flashed a recovery)
here is the link to the instructions...
http://www.alliance-rom.com/communi...-non-hlos-bin-temporary-flashing-method.8676/
I hope this will shed some more light on our device... I really just wish I could convert my device fully to a M919 as this device (M919V) seems to have some weird issues... OR... better yet... a 9505G :highfive:

I still want to see if it is not a software issue by trying or playing around with OFFICIAL firmware, before I assume it is just faulty hardware refusing to corporate with your attempts to restore your Canadian Phone.
Again, munchy_cool, Thank you...!!!
Also have you called Samsung, and explained to them and I quote "That your phone failed during an OS update, and you tried to roll back using a download file from SamMobile, and even then you have experienced no success...!!!", just to see if they have on record of the same issues...???
--Just a though..., as I would hate to keep beating around the bush.

means the modem is invalid for this phone, as mentioned a few posts above there are multiple firmwares for your s4 , you need to know which carrier your s4 is ..there might be checks in the firmware to stop it from being flashed onto another carriers phone even if model number is same.

Thus the concern of a hardware conflict/issue with being successful in your flash using Odin.
Android devices are not all the same, they change depending on what country you are in especially if you are using a STOCK ROM. Every country has a different setup requirement when it comes to establishing a valid connection, so thus the hardware/software conflict.

Besides that I cannot tell which is yours (meaning Firmware - SamMobile) your post suggest EastLink...??? Is this East Canada...? In East Canada what Carriers to they provide you...?, and what Model# is your phone...?
Maybe we can help to narrow down your Firmware you need...???
If you can also provide your OS - BASEBAND version, under Settings - More - About - Baseband Version.
You should be able to get this from a Custom Rom as well...!

My baseband has been flashed as I described in my earlier post... M919VVLUAMDJ.... My Carrier is unknown as I bought this phone unlocked for cheap on kijiji... but the guy said he worked for samsung and it was a spare... (Eastlink was the intended carrier...) although this model has 4 carriers it could potentially be... Eastlink, Wind mobile, ect.... The Op has the EXACT same model number and the EXACT same issue as me... he also has tried flashing literally EVERY firmware available on Sammobile website...

Help with S3 Bell Bricked ?

Did you try re-flashing a stock Bell ROM? If it was running stock 4.3, do not try to flash anything older than 4.3.
I'm in the same boat and require a PIT file for my Bell 16Gb S3.

Did you try flashing a stock ROM from sammobile? You have the latest drivers installed and Odin 3.07?
I use Odin 3.07 on my i747m to flash back to stock Bell ROM all the time and haven't run into your problem.
Are you selecting only F.Reset Time?

I appreciate the replies but the file is good as i used it before, so is the cable as I use it all the time.
Something bad has happened with my phone as it's now it's actually hard bricked (won't power on or go into download mode. indicator light is red when plugged in w/o battery) and it might be the result of internal memory failure.
I'm trying the debrick process now as a lost option for me. If that doesn't work I may tried to get it jtagged.
When mine did that I was able to recover with sdcard method but it took me many many tries to get it to write correctly. If that doesn't work then JTAG is next option

I just finished my 3rd try to get the debrick img to write. Very frustrating as it take an hour to write and say successful in the end.
But the contents on the card so change or get overridden. I'm going to try on a different computer tonight. I'm determined to get the card written with the img and if that doesn't work then it's jtag.
You just have to keep trying, it took me hundreds of tries to get it to finally write it correctly, when I finally got it correct I couldn't read it on my computer, before that it was showing as a series of folders.

I got the Debrick image written and my phone boots from it into download mode. Unfortunately I still cannot write the stock image. It fails to write because of the missing PIT file. So I am at a loss.

turn off your tablet, put it on download mode by holding down the home button + volume down and power until you see download mode.

so you flash your t805 tablet with the t805 rom? i think it failed bc of the different variant. My tab s is t807a so maybe the MD5 doesnt match. Thanks alot for your effort though

[Q] help with instaling OTA after rooting

I got a tab S SMT 800 of course the first thing I did was to root the tablet with Odin3 I was in a hurry even did not apply the system update. Now when I try I get "The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way bla bla" How can I apply this OTA without re flashing a stock firmware?
Im not sure if you can. But there is a way to set your system status back to officail with root. Doing this method will allow to update with the ota bit i can nit confirm if the ota update will install properly. First download xposed installer, and install it. Then search for a module in xposed called wanam xposed and download and install and reboot. Then open the wanam xposed app and go tab secuirty hacks and tap fake system status till it saids official. Then now just reboot. Now try the ota update. It may install, it may not. Hope this helps

I honestly have no idea whu it does that. People been havent problems with odin. Can your tab still boot? It seems like it didnt even flash. Maybe a bad drivers.

"Software update: the latest updates have already been installed", just lost the root but I flashed the auto root again and its is perfect.
Thank you everybody for your help.

Probably out of the topic but since I started this thread I need to give an explanation
If you wander why Guliver6 is currently disabled it is because on XDA
I created a double account by error so on my demand the previous account show disabled, so from now on I will use only guliver365 for subsequent follow up.

There is a app that will hide your root. it works very well.
Its named hidemyroot and works without reboot. :good:

My Samsung S3 I747 is stuck on the logo when booting onto phone, tried using Odin..

I got my S3 from my brother since my Nexus 5 is currently broken, and with the S3 he installed CyanogenMod though it doesn't have root. So I decided to try and root it, but probably messed something up and now I'm stuck on the Cyanogen loadup screen, been waiting there for a solid 3 hours, and finally decided to try to fix it. I've tried using Odin3 3.0.7, trying to flash stock rom but I'm currently getting this error:

Does anyone know what to do at this point? I've tried multiple different stock roms in case one of the stock roms had a problem. However, I flashed TWRP no problem, and I have that working for my recovery. What should I do at this point to get my phone back to Stock ROM?
Do you know what bootloader it is running? After 4.3 you cannot downgrade. Use the terminal emulator in TWRP and enter this if you're not sure:
getprop ro.bootloader
If it returns a 4.3 build number you can only flash the same or newer builds. Look for enewman17's threads in the General section for how to return to stock on those builds.

I can't access the terminal emulator since I get stuck on the Samsung logo when trying to boot my phone.
The error happens when trying to flash aboot.mbn because, as @DocHoliday77 noted, LK3 cannot be flashed if the phone is running a 4.3 or newer bootloader.
I advise flashing TWRP and a custom ROM. This will allow you to boot the phone and determine the phone's bootloader version.

Yes, I am able to access recovery with TWRP working, I just don't know where the terminal emulator is. (sorry i'm not very experienced w/ TWRP)
Also one thing to note, I can't install any sort of ROMS or can't flash anything through TWRM for some reason. When I swipe to flash a rom, what happens is that it just automatically goes back to the TeamWin logo page thing, and then I'm back on the home screen of TWRM (which shows all the buttons like install, wipe, backup, restore, mount, etc.) So I can't flash through TWRM, and if possible can someone link me a custom rom that supports md5, .tar, with those file extensions since the roms I've tried all are zips of .img files. (unless there is a way to convert it to md5, .tar, etc. extentions so that I can use ODIN on my computer to flash it)
edit: what I mean by md5, .tar is a PDA file so that I can use ODIN. if possible I just want my phone to run again w/ any roms... I've been phoneless for a few days now
You can find the terminal through twrp's advanced menu. Select the root folder and go from there.
Look in enewman17's NJ2 thread. He has a recovery flashable stock recovery. Try flashing that, then factory resetting from the stock recovery.

Okay, when I typed the command getprop ro.bootloader what is get is:
I747MVLDLK4
I've tried flashing the stock recovery through TWRP, but it just again doesn't work as I explained in the previous post. So I tried using ODIN to flash it after converting it into a md5 file so that ODIN can read it and now when I try to enter recovery my screen is just black.
Looks like an i747m bootloader, not i747.

Oh my gosh! Thank you!!! I just followed the instructions after the download and this recovery worked! It looks like I thought my phone was i747, but it was actually i717M, thanks!!!
Glad you got your phone back.
I can't take the credit because @DocHoliday77 helped you determine the phone's bootloader.

Don't even worry about cred on this stuff man! You do plenty enough to be just as deserving! @dawgdoc too!
And tbh, I'm really glad you chimed in on that one! Since I'm not as familiar with which variant has which build number for the I747/I747M, (and since I'm usually used to just glancing at the last 3 characters), it probably would've taken me another 2 or 3 posts to have realized that was the problem. I Definately didn't catch it that first time!
So in the spirit of giving credit where it's due, you do deserve it here and in many, many other threads! Thanks!
