Firmware going backwards

My wife has the Samsung AT&T Galaxy S3 when it first came out it has the firmware I747UCALG1 this is the one that all the root stuff is out for now. And I bought the same phone 3-weeks ago with firmware I747UCALH9 I tried to root it and none of this stuff is working for my phone so my binary count is already at two because I tried two to root it of course can't reset it back because I can't root it. So my question is can I flash my rom with the I747UCALG1 firmware enstead or is there some new root stuff coming out for the new build?

I have an AT&T Galaxy S3 phone which is rooted and I have gone between ics and jb roms and have gotten LTE to work every time. The problem is after I reboot the phone I lose LTE. I get 20+ up 10 down on LTE. After I loose LTE I get around 8 up 4 down. I also go to the settings->about phone->status->mobile network type to make sure its LTE.

I have tried.

1.) Re-installing a rom which gives me LTE until I reboot phone.

2.) I have tried installing modems from http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1831898. If I have lost LTE after reboot, I can (9 out of 10) get LTE to work again after installing a modem. I lose it once I reboot the phone again though and am unable to flash a new modem to get LTE back to working and it won't unless I do 1.) again.

3.) I have made sure apn settings are on the correct pta lte setting. Usually most of the rom's have that already set to begin with.

4.) I have tried the *#2263# to change it to LTE. This WORKS and will reboot my phone into LTE everytime, but I lose being able to make phone calls, etc. From what I understand as well, I am unable to go to 3g/2g after settings LTE ALL and I don't want that either...

I notice a lot of times after I install a rom and reboot, it upgrades, and I lose LTE. I install a modem and get LTE back. I reboot phone normally without doing anything to the phone and it upgrades apps again and I lose LTE. That is the only conclusion I can come to as to why I lose LTE after reboot.

Is it true that by charging your sgs3 via usb from your computer when its off you are getting less of a charge than if you use your wall plug?

My home pc still sends power to the usb port when its off to charge my cell , so thats how I always have done it. Other day someone told me its no wonder my battery dies so fast if that is the only way I charge it ....any truth to that ? ISnt't a 100% charge a 100% charge?

Question before rooting and voiding the warranty

Hi

After installing TWRP and Root, how would I restore my phone like it came out of the box if I wanted to return it for warranty?

Is there a way, because even after flashing back the stock rom, when I went to Download mode, it said "Warranty Bit: 1" but it originally said "Warranty Bit: 0"

Can anyone enlighten me on the steps they use to restore back EXACTLY the way it came to me.

I was thinking that even after restoring to stock rom, TWRP was still there. I wanted my Recovery, rom, kernel to go back to normal.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DelphinusMinor:
Simply obtain the stock firmware for your phone's model and flash it via Odin. Root will be gone and any evidence you had it rooted.

You could also look into "Triangle Away".

Based on your sig, & warranty bit reference, you have the OTA 4.3 locked bootloader. Afaik

the Knox Warranty Bit is still irreversible.

Downgrading to an earlier stock rom will brick your phone.

Triangle Away worked great on 4.1.2. Not at all on 4.3

So a stock official firmware flash will get rid of the root, custom recovery and rom leaving no trace of being tampered with? Also where would I be able to find stock firmwares? I know Sammobile offers stock rom, but where do I find stock firmwares? Thanks

So if I have knox warranty Bit that shows up in the download mode, it's impossible to root and be able to restore it? Thanks

Thank you both for the replies.

----------------

What mine shows in download mode is:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747M

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

Warranty Bit: 0

BOOTLOADER AP SWAEV: 1

The warranty bit just said "0" not "0x0". If tampered with, it would read "1" not "0x1"

Oh and do you think this is for real? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiZ7D2zjJdA

and would flashing a custom rom trip the knox or just the flash counter, because I know the triangle away will reset the flash counter, but not the knox warranty bit.

Quote from Sammobile:

"all our firmwares are official Samsung firmwares!"

I repeat what I said about

Earlier stock rom (firmwares) bricking. OTA 4.3

Triangle Away 3.01 not supporting 4.3

ROM flashes are available carrying only the system image or OS ...

I don't recall, aren't Sammobile's full odin tars?

If so, they have some 4.3 coverage. if our phones are there,

that'd be DelphinusMinor's safe reflash.

Sammobile recommends the Keis reset method for full compatibility.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DelphinusMinor:
I think this message summed it up nicely. Maybe avoid Triangle Away for now.

I don't have a warranty and my phone is factory unlocked so I really shouldn't be advising people who have phones still under warranty.

Keep us posted tho Drake! =-}
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drakemiller40:
Ok, so if I understand correctly, Triangle Away wont help reset the Knox Warranty bit because it doesn't support 4.3.

Sammobile doesn't have my phone when I searched, but I looked at the Samsung site and found this: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-I747M

I'm guessing even if I flash those stock firmware, it wouldn't reset my knox warranty counter right?

All I want to do really is flash TWRP and have root access. I'm not looking into custom roms right now.

I hope I'm making sense....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pc103:
Technically TA never addressed Knox status. Only flash count, binary & device status.

Sadly, the knox police don't sympathize with our intent. They only care that your phone acquired the warranty bit. Flashing root / recovery trip that irreversibly on the locked bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drakemiller40:
What is TA?

I guess I'll have to wait until someone comes up with a solution or way to root/flash custom recoveries without tripping the Knox Warranty.

Rooted Need to get CWM

Hi everyone,

Just rooted my SGH-I747M using Mr. Robinson's method! Worked out great! However, I did not install CWM.

I've been looking through a bunch of threads and have found no success. I would prefer to flash the file through Odin but there are no .tar files for the latest CWM.

1) Is it possible to flash CWM using Odin? If so can you provide the necessary links?

2) Is there an easier method? I would prefer not to use the terminal since I have a fear of bricking my phone.

Thank you so much in advance.

I go here http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager to find CWM for my devices and flash the img file using Mobile Odin on phone. You can find Mobile Odin in Playstore. I have CWM recovery on every device and use Touch version when possible (not available for every device). Just rename image file to recovery.img and place in SD or extSD (my preference). Works very nicely on S3s.

Mobile Odin isn't working for me. So what do I do now?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
Need more info. What does not working mean?

If you choose flash recovery menu item, and point it to recovery.img (the renamed img file), you get a warning about possible issues and then you flash anyway. Works every time...at least for me. I place recovery.img in root of extSD rather than in a folder.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Abzfly:
Apologies

Sorry about that, I meant I do not want to purchase Mobile Odin on my phone. I know I know, cheapskate here but I'm still in school.

Here is some more info about what I did exactly:

1) Used Mr. Robinson's Root Method. Therefore, I do not have CWM.

2) Downloaded CWM from the website and got the latest version for my phone (i747 AT&T: 6.0.4.3)

3) Renamed the file as recovery.img and put it onto my phone (internal SD no folder). Went through terminal emulator as mentioned here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2170635

Now I completely unsure as to what I have on my phone right now. Sorry for this extremely noobish question. Do I have CWM? Can I use it?

Also what ROM's are compatible with the root I have? Do they have to be compatible with the 4.3 that I am running or with the bootloader?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
To reach recovery, power off device and boot while holding the volume up, home button and power button simultaneously. If you have successfully flashed CWM, it will be obvious. :) If you have it, you can use it. The version you have should support 4.3 and even 4.4 -- my S3s are on SlimROM 4.2.2, so I don't keep track of this, but he updates fairly quickly.

This must be the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard but I now also have TWRP on my phone. I got Goo Manager and decided it was much easier, the touch interface is also a little more appealing.

restore to andrpoid 4.1.2 from 4.4.2

Not sure if this is the right place to post this as it is my first on this forum, I have Samsung galaxy s3 I747 d2att. Current rom...ROM][4.1.2][Sept 29] Hyperdrive RLS16...bootloader.... I747UCDLK3. Before I flash any of the 4.4.2 roms I need to know if I can restore to my current rom. I have read some threads that are adamant that once you flash to 4.4 you CANNOTgo back to a previous backup of 4.1.2...others are just as adamant that you CAN restore from a cwm or other backup if you desire to go back. I understand if you have a mjb bootloader, or have 4.3 ota update you are locked into android 4.3 or 4.4. I have neither of those. I use CWM mostly but also have & use TWRP, & have current backups of both, Can I flash a cw11 nightly rom, Quantum v3 rc4, or [ROM][4.4.2][Unofficial] Liquid Smooth v3.0 [12/14/13] [D2att] (which has no bootloader), or other 4.4.2 roms & still be able to restore from backup? I believe a lot of the comments about not being able to go back had to do with using the newest bootloader or the knox problem, but I am not sure what to think, & am trying to avoid flashing to 4.4.2 & having to stay there.

Can I downgrade Telus Galaxy S3 from stock 4.3 to stock 4.1.2?

Hi guys,

I have been trying for close to five hours to downgrade my galaxy s3 (sgh-i747m; telus) from the stock version of 4.3 to the stock version of 4.1.2. I was using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1968625 but once I selected the firmware in ODIN and pressed start, I was presented with a red "fail".

Since odin gave me an error, I disconnected the usb cable and I got the dreaded "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again." message. I freaked out. Finally after 5 hours, I was able to turn on my s3 by using the "firmware upgrade and initilization" option in kies3.

Now, I am wondering if it is even possible to downgrade to stock 4.1.2. I have read sooooo many threads and some people say it is possible and others say no.

In retrospect, I think what screwed me up the most was that I didn't enable USB debugging after performing a factory reset on the pone. Still I am scared to give it another go using odin without being absolutely certain that I can downgrade stock 4.3 to stock 4.1.2. So is it even possible to downgrade 4.3 to 4.1.2?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
I'm not 100% sure, but from what I've read, you cannot downgrade once you're on 4.3 due to the bootloader. I could be wrong though
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PepsiFiend:
Ok, no problem. I did see people mention something about the bootloader preveting people from downgrading but I just don't know enough about bootloaders. So I think that I will bare with 4.3 for now. I just wanted to downgrade to 4.1.2 because my phone is draining battery, screen is less sensitive, wifi keeps disconnceting, etc. Hopefully my carrier will push the updated 4.3.1 soon because 4.3 is REALLY killing my phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
I don't either, but I do know that messing with bootloaders can be dangerous if you don't know what your doing. I'm waiting for others to report all the issues before upgrading or flashing anything. It's the only old saying. If it ain't broke, don't fix it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Capa1970:
I installed the dreaded OTA 4.3 update from AtT&T and then about a week later decided I wanted to start flashing Roms but learned of the difficulties that developers were having with Knox and the bootloader. Anyway, after trying multiple times to install the new Cyanogenmod Installer, they finally got it to work for those of us that updated to 4.3! I am loving the smoothness and many options on CM. While I don't think that I'll ever become a flashoholic, I do want to try some different Roms. I'd like to try a new Rom every two to three weeks and then settle on what I think is the best for me. I'm thinking of trying Task's AOKP next.

So my question is this: since I am now on CM's version of 4.3, can I easily flash any 4.3 or 4.4 Rom without having to mess with the bootloader? Also, I may eventually decide to try a Touchwiz Rom, can I easily flash a 4.3 Rom without messing with the bootloader? Thanks in advance.

Wiping is best. Slow down & take time to prepare your backups all for a better flashing experience. That is your best way to avoid needing to repeat a successful flash.

If 4.3 is your goal I hope you understand the bootloader & Knox changes. Yes, go from 4.1.1 - 4.1.2 - 4.3.

For connection issues,

verify you have correct drivers

use a rear panel usb port

try a different cable

I don't use Kies. Uninstall and install Samsung USB drivers (they're on Samsung site in support). You don't need Kies with custom ROMs and kernels.
