Probably not. That usually happens because the ROM isn't working properly. Replacing the bootloader won't change that.

The bootloader is like the starter on a car... Replacing it won't fix a broken engine.

I don't understand how you ended up in this situation, nobody else has had issues flashing that bootloader and it's been downloaded over 700 times. Did you remove the battery during the flash? Are you able to get Odin to recognize the device?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
Very good point. [MENTION=5453782]barla88[/MENTION], you may have had a corrupted download. You can use a tool like WinMD5 to check the file you downloaded against the MD5 at d-h.st. They should match, and both show 98b79566663b8b91dec461b74f0511e8.

newbie

i'm kind of new to this and today i tried rooting my phone. i upgraded my phone from GingerBread, to ICS, and finally to JellyBean without incident, so i thought this would be just as simple. well, i am using Odin to root w/ SuperUser and open recovery TWRP and i think i did everything right, but now i can't send my phone into recovery mode to complete the process. It's not bricked. The phone works just as it did since i've had it, but i downloaded a terminal to reboot recovery that way but it keeps telling me "Operation not Permitted" please help! i don't know what i did wrong.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
The Galaxy S3 never ran Gingerbread.

You need to type "su" in a terminal first before you can "reboot recovery".

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
The latest bootloader for the I747M is DMF1. Some ROMs don't recognize this version and fail to install. You can try downgrading to DLK4 to see if that helps. (Read the OP again. I'm pretty sure you misread it.)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] warweolf:

Bootloaders

Is it a violation of rules that rom cannot include the proper bootloader in it ? Only ask because I am a little confused at to what roms would need an updated bootloader...and if a 4.3 rom needs an updated bootloader, can you use the updated bootloader if you go back to a 4.1 OR 4.2 ROM ? Again I will apologize if this has all been answered and I am repeating but being new to this all I am simply confuse :p

Thanks for helping educate a newb..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
You can (usually) use new bootloaders with older ROMs without issue. ROM developers don't include a bootloader because there's 2 different sets of bootloaders (for the I747 and the I747M) and a ROM installer can't tell which one to install on each individual device.

If you do have issues, flash another bootloader version for your device and try again. That's why I made this thread.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OBAMASUCKS:
Great information and very helpful with all the 4.3 roms coming out, I saw many posts with bootloader issues I just didn't understand it all. Thanks again !

GT N7105T Phone bootloader flashing file

Hi

I have a GT N7105T Vodafone Australia note 2. I flashed through recovery boot_CWM_I747UCDLK3, in error. (I flashed Sky_note 4.3 R8 and everything was fine excepting wifi. and I thought flashing the above will correct the situation). But my note is now getting struck at samsung booting screen. I have 1) reflashed wanamlte 4.1.2 custom rom, 2) flashed the stock rom through ODIN. But every time the note 2 is stuck at samsung boot screen.

I am able to go download mode and the recovery mode. But in the recorvery mode, it allows only to wide the data and install.

My phone is now bricked. PLEASE ADVISE.

Ok so my phone was rooted I did a system update and it practically unrooted my phone. But I had apps like freedom and when it updated my phone ibguess it deleted it improperly and now I cannot get into my google play account. My phone is practically stuck. I am worried I will brik my phone. I went into root explorer and to etc and tried to delete hosts file but I can't do that it shows as read only file. Do you have any idea what I should do?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] oka1:
To JayPinder93.......... you need to REALLY READ MORE....... modifying and customizing a phone requires knowledge, understanding of how to use that knowledge and and some logic skill to prevent running into issues.... you have not read enough about flashing custom roms on a phone based on these comments.

My recommendation is to research more 1st, odin back to stock and start over

That screenshot only shows your modem version. If you've never changed your bootloader or modem, the bootloader will probably also be LE8, which is the version the S3 shipped with on release day. You're out of date, but if things are working fine, don't flash anything.

as another update. flashing a I747U bootloader over a I747M device. Is an UBER BRICK By Uber i mean, recovering with my previously posted debrick method does not work. So far. I NEED I747U users to dump me a 4.1.2 bootloader debrick file and a 4.3 debrick file. it may be possible to debrick using these files. thus we will be able to recover from all forms of bricking we have seen so far.

I have a spare board to break. I'd flash a NOS_sticker.jpg to the bootloader if it made the device faster lol I have the means to test so i do what i can for the rest who cannot brick things for the sake of bricking. If i can recover this, great success for the i747 users if not, looks like ill buy a riff and recover it and not do that it again. lol If i can get that I747U dump of the 4.1.2 and the 4.3 boot loader though i may be able to get this to atleats boot to get an odin going :)

Step-by-Step on Downgrading 4.3 without bricking?

If I'm understanding your post correctly, you've found a way to downgrade from 4.3 stock to 4.1.2? Could you please post step-by-step instructions on how to do so?

I'm trying to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.1 to use the posted SIM unlock methods. I was able to unbrick and get back to stock 4.3 after stupidly trying to Odin down to 4.1.1, but I have found no successful way to downgrade and others in the XDA forums have a similar issue.

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
You should be able to use this method as long as you're on a Touchwiz ROM (any version I believe) running the right modem (not sure which ones work/don't work):

I successfully unlocked my phone using that method; I'll admit, it was quite a while ago though...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sabrinaela:
The menu options required are only available in 4.1.1

The method you describe only works on 4.1.1. The required menu options are not available on any other firmware (including 4.3). That's why I'm asking about ways to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.1.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theramsey3:
It's slightly off topic from Bootloaders and bricking/unbricking but I just tried it myself and had no problems accessing the menus on 4.3 OTA.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that my phone has been unlocked since the day I got it out of the box, called AT&T (when I still used them), told them I was traveling to Germany in the near future and would like to use my phone on a local network while I was there , they provided the unlock code and method in which to use it. All of this while I was still under contract BTW.

[4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ menu option is not there

I just checked again to be sure. The "[4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ" menu option is not there in 4.3. The first 3 options are there, but not the 4th. Many other posters in the unlock threads report the same thing: the 4th menu option is only available in 4.1.1.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] -Mr. X-:
use mobile odin to odin back to 4.1.1 using mobile odin is the safest bet because it REFUSES to flash the bootloader. so you should be able to safely get the 4.1.1 android back on your device while still being on the 4.3 bootloader. I did this earlier to test out the new telus 4.3 rom and it works fine. I am still on the 4.1.2 bootloader on my main S3 i did all my debricking tests on a smashed screen s3. I dont think its the radio that gives the option its the fact that samsung removed the NV write option from the service menu app in all other builds above 4.1.1
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theramsey3:
Sorry I missed the last step. Oops. You're correct it's not there. My apologies.

It only took about 3 minutes on the phone with AT&T to get my unlock code. This was last year in November.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sabrinaela:
Rogers isn't as easy as AT&T

Unfortunately, this phone is locked to Rogers (in Canada). Rogers will only unlock the phone if 1) You are the original owner and have paid off the subsidy for the phone, and 2) you pay them an additional $50 fee. I am not the original owner (phone was given to me when original owner cracked the screen and then bought a new phone) and I would refuse to pay the extortion fee anyways. The situation in Canada is pretty bad with carrier locks. I'm working on the method Mr X posted. I haven't been able to root 4.3 yet, but if so I'll try the mobile Odin and post results here with step-by-step instructions for others.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
That 4th menu option is only available on specific modem versions. I had to downgrade my modem when I first unlocked my device. The one that shipped with Telus phones on day-1 didn't have it, but the first OTA added it. IIRC, the second OTA removed it again. I don't know which modems it was available on for AT&T, not having one myself.
