We will help, if there's a question. Unless, you're referring to your bootloader question? ...

That depends on what version of android you were rocking on before you flashed the updatexx.zip? Because if you didn't read the first post correctly, you might of bricked it. If so, there are a few posts on how to Odin to stock and redo again.

update now im stuck on the samsung logo smdh how so how so how do i reflash 4.3 ? becaue tried to reflash this rom but it failed maybe because im rooted and i de bloated my stock 4.3 im using twrp the latest one ive tried cwm recovery it didnt work any work around
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pc103:
It depends on what you flashed to get to 4.3. It depends on what Bootloader you are running.

I am also on CWM 5. The recovery commands for Wipe cache, (Advanced ../Wipe Dalvik cache) are most effective when troubleshooting or reflashing an identical ROM.

Prior backup and Wipe data are necessary for all other ROM flashes.

Yesterday I successfully flashed Upndwn4par's Full ROM, Stock Kernel, & the MJB modem loserskater posted over my existing 4.1.2 MG2 Bootloader

using all 3 wipe techniques before beginning and the first 2 before booting.

Flashing the ROM only should work in your case if you are running the 4.3 bootloader.

(Backing up &) Wiping data first helps bootability.

I have spent a long time trying to figure this out today and have had no success.

The Stock 4.1.1 file that is to be flashed with Odin is a zip, and Odin cant flash zips... I tried unpacking it, but there are two files, so Im not really sure what to do.

Can anyone help me?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Evilweasel47:
There should be a Odin flashable file in one of the stickies. Look for it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pc103:
Phaildroid, the zips are flashed from your custom recovery. Boot into CWM, TWRP or whichever to flash zips.

4.3

For those of you running 4.3, how is it? Do you recommend it? I one that you can't downgrade so I'm kinda waiting to see if something changes. But would really like to know before I upgrade to 4.3. Thanks.

DZL1.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jack man:
I'm running the stock 4.3 release (have 2 GS3s in the household, both on it) for several reasons:

- We just got the phones back in August, and with the warranty bit feature in DL mode, and we can't reset it if it's tripped, I need to keep warranty.

- I became a flashaholic and need a break, especially over the holidays.

- It runs smoother than anything I've ever seen on this phone.

- running stock, I can actually watch movies through the play store (rooted phones can't)

- will admit that the battery doesn't last as long as I had when on S3Rx 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, but i still get about 18-20 hours up with about 5 hours screen time.

- I havent't had a single force close, and so far, nothing negative about the stock ROM. but I hear some have had bad experiences. I flashed the stock package here that resets the flash counter, then used KIES to flash stock 4.1.1 so I knew I would have the Samsung ROM, then did the OTA and it went straight to 4.3 from 4.1.1. I then master reset from the settings menu and wiped everything. No issues at all.

So, if you're wanting to take a break from flashing, it's not a bad way to do it. I figure the devs here will probably figure a way to reset both DL mode counters by the time I want to come back to flashing, probably next summer.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stoobie-doo:
Dumb question time...

I am on the OTA update (installed with Mobile Odin Pro from 4.1.2), rooted, with stock recovery. The phone currently shows custom status in Settings.

I have Airwatch coming my way soon from my employer, so I will be unrooting and I have something funky going on where I can't encrypt my phone (I had encrypted while on 4.1.2, but decrypted to upgrade) because cryptfs can't unmount /data - anyone who knows how to fix that would earn lots and lots of thanks.

Would unrooting with SuperSU be sufficient to pass the Airwatch root checks?

And if not, can I reapply the OTA update in recovery or via ADB to try to eliminate whatever may remain that causes it to flail, or would that end up bricking the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phaildroid:
I understand that the 4.1.2 and 4.3 updates can be flashed in TWRP, but is that true for the 4.1.1 stock image? In the instructions it says to flash it with Odin.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pc103:
Mobile Odin Pro has menu commands on screen below the partition slots for flashing both zips & standalone flashables. You can also unzip a tar.md5 in some of the posted zips & point MOPro to it; or Odin flash it.

I don't have Mobile Odin and I'm not particularly interested in buying it. Can I just flash the 4.1.1 (I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME) zip in TWRP?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pc103:
I think the zips are laid out differently. The 4.1.1 package I kept just adds extra compression to the tar.md5 file Odin file for portability.

If TWRP ignores your zip, the lite version of Chainfire's app is free.

No automatic OTA update

Can someone clarify for me... I have a U.S. AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 / SGH-I747, and my firmware is still on 4.1.1. I friend of mine, also on AT&T, just told me her phone updated to Android 4.3. Has AT&T begun rolling out 4.3 in the US for the S3? Should my phone have already updated to 4.1.2, and maybe that's why I didn't get the 4.3 OTA update? My phone is rooted and the status says "modified", but I am on stock 4.1.1. Any clarification would be appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] indymx:
Yes, 4.3 OTA has been out for a few weeks now.

There are a couple threads here detailing what you need to do to get it and the risks involved.

Awesome work!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jazee:
Well I'm on 4.1.1 rooted and just getting around to updating. Glad I didn't do it day 1 as I've read about the horror stories of the initial bugs.

It's been so long I don't even remember how I rooted my phone. I assume I just need to make a backup to the SD card running Titanium Backup, run the OTA update on the phone to go to 4.3, then follow asnonantonym's instructions for rooting. If TheParadox could have no issues coming from CM10.2 I assume coming from 4.1.1 stock (rooted) is no issue either. Nice to know the download takes forever - I was scared it was stuck.

What I don't understand is why does Kies think 4.1.1 is the latest version? Was the purpose of posting the ROMs on here because this thread was started before AT&T started pushing them OTA?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sailindawg:
[MENTION=4951849]jazee[/MENTION]

Are updating directly from 4.1.1 with the 4.3 OTA update file from this thread?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pc103:
Because if you are you should reread the OP's warning in red letters.

OP also posted a link to rooting instructions where another red letter warning appears.

This thread mainly provides an alternative pathway to the same result as the OTA push. That is in demand here with every stock upgrade.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jazee:
What's the advantage of doing it this way over OTA? OTA doesn't wipe the apps and data correct so seems like that would be the preferred method? I found another thread that shows how to root the 4.3 OTA. It seems there's something to do with there being a new bootloader on 4.3 that doesn't allow you to go back to a previous firmware or any other firmware (like CM) for that matter? It's a bit difficult to put all the information together from all these threads to get a definitive, comprehensive understanding that allows you to put all the pieces of the puzzle together before messing with your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pc103:
Same upgrade, different channel.

And yes, same locked bootloader.

Strict new warranty controls against modding too.

It may be challenging to parse the right threads & gain a useful perspective, but done right -it's rewarding.

I wanted 4.3 mainly for TW & App Ops. I did not want the lockdown features. By reading the right threads here I was able to get my stock 4.3 with no downside.

Just read enough at xda then

Back up.

Wipe data & caches

Flash modem, kernel & rom,

Root & recovery

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pc103:
If the Knox Warranty Status is listed on your Download mode status screen, you

Have a locked bootloader.

Non downgradeable bootloader. (will brick)

Warranty Status "1" means busted. (irreversible)

You can root, and get custom recovery but either or both will

bust your warranty. There's a good new thread on flashing

alternatives for people with locked 4.3 somewhere here too.

upndown4par's Full ROM

& The UCUEMJ2_Insecure_kernel.zip in the 3rd link here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2498233 (Post #1 OP)

DETAILS:

1. Prep

I made sure in advance I could downgrade if needed.

Backed up using both SuperBackup app for call logs, apks, SMS & contacts

& my latest 4.1.2 nandroids via Online (meaning during Android uptime) Nandroid Backup app by H3R3T1C

(did his Quick Backup using my settings, on demand, not scheduled. Also tested restore process)

also manually copied needed folder contents of internal & external SDs to my PC

Wiped data, cache & Dalvik cache

Stored the following on my SD card

update412.zip from [Download][Install] 4.3 OTA Update

CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747.zip

UCUEMJ2_Insecure_kernel.zip

2. Flashing

I Odined to UCDLK3

Booted 4.1.1, shut down,

flashed CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar.tar

rebooted into CWM

Wiped data, cache & Dalvik cache

flashed update412.zip

Booted 4.1.2, shut down,

rebooted into CWM Wiped data, cache & Dalvik cache

flashed the I747UCUEMJB modem (linked as Radio - loserskater)

CWM Wiped data, cache & Dalvik cache

flashed upndown4par's Full ROM

CWM Wiped data, cache & Dalvik cache

flashed UCUEMJ2_Insecure_kernel.zip

3. Setting up

Booted 4.3

loaded my account for Google Play access (bug required choosing a new pwd via PC. It was time)

Restored contacts, call logs & SMS

tested wifi, phone, BT, GPS okay

Began using SELinuxModeChanger's Enforcing setting

reloaded apks via My Apps & some sideloading

debloated 51 items via Settings & some App Quarantine

began using App Ops Opener to cut back excess permissions.

other optimizations including lots of Restrict Background Data per app

RESULT

I'm happily using 4.3 MJB rom, MJ2 leaked kernel (Enforcing) & MJB modem over my 4.1.2 bootloader

battery life is equal to what I had on debloated 4.1.2: about 1.5% discharge/hr overnight on wifi

YMMV
