Looking down at my cable, I just remembered that the first time I tried to go back to stock it failed and I had to use a different cable. Doesn't seem like that would have saved my data but it is possible.

I still also wonder how many people are going from stock rooted 4.1.1 back to stock 4.1.1. Not sure that I've ever used odin to install the same Rom over itself. Same except for root that is.

thats what i get and i'm on stock 4.1.1...and i check the download md5 checker
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FZ8:
Your link says this is for the S4.. I am hesitant to try the update because of this.. Can this be confirmed ?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tokuzumi:
I used that file on my AT&T GS3, and while I think I saw S4 somewhere, it is indeed for the SGH-I747. Others have even confirmed it worked great. It will wipe your data partition, so make sure you make a backup of what you want to keep.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FZ8:
It worked, and thank you very much for the confirmation! Thanks to the dev for posting this as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] reluttr:
Can someone confirm if the new bootloader is DMG2 or not? I assume the modem is also DMG2 as well right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Yes and yes
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FZ8:
The baseband is DMG2.. build number also is DMG2. I don't know how to check bootloader.. tell me how to and I'll confirm away...

Before this update, I had stock rooted 4.1.1 and ran triangle away before unrooting... it now has official / normal status in both the recovery screen and status ..

Let me know
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GChundrlek:
More Thanks

I don't know if I have a stock ROM on my PC, so I'm downloading one from meanhacker's link page. I guess I'll also have to break down and get an SD card :o.

My S3 has TWRP and Clockwork installed now, so once I get the stock ROM and SD card it looks like I'll be good to go.

I know I have Odin, so I'll re-read the instructions.

Thank you very much...

I was tired of checking for ota untill I got this....so pleased
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Agent5150:
what does "Odin back to stock" means. I tried installing the stock recovery on my rooted d2att 4.1.1 and it failed to load update.zip.

How do I go back to stock.. please provide details.

thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jack man:
There's a thread about using KIES to return to stock. Here's a link describing it in detail. Only thing with this method is that it will erase everything on your sd card, so if you have any files you want to keep, make sure you get them off of there before you do this. It takes about 20 minutes or so to do this procedure.

So I'm on a stock unrooted ATT S3, but it's unlocked and running on MetroPCS network. Because of this I can't download the update.

Do I just boot into stock recovery and select <apply update from external storage> and update.zip ?

I've only had the phone 3 days. I haven't played with it or set anything up yet, so is it worth doing wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache first?

Am I right to think this will update firmware, modem, everything?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jack man:
It won't update on Wifi? I would try taking out the sim card and trying wifi. seems like it would work but I'm not really sure. I remember updating my GS2 with wifi without a sim in it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mewikime:
Apparently not. Just took the sim out, advanced the date by 5 days and tried to run the update. Still says I don't have one available and to try again in 48 hours.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Agent5150:
Finally got it done, Got the 4.1.1 stock rom installed via Odin, flashed update.zip via stock recovery, Applied CF Auto Root, Restored data, everything worked !!.. BUT THEN.. next morning, I dropped it and cracked the screen... now the screen is completely off, phone is working, I am getting emails, sms and call but can't do jack with it.

Have to find replacement digitizer and easy to follow video/instructions on replacing the darn screen. please help if you have done this kind of repair on your S3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jack man:
I don't have experience with replacing screens, but here's this thread if you haven't already found it.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tamanaco:
I just bought Mobile Odin Pro and was about to follow these steps, but stopped because I realized that I have several MODs installed in my S3 running 4.1.1 rooted. The MODs I have installed are: 23-Toggles, Tether for WiFi + BT fix and Circle Battery %. I assumed that I was going loose these MODs after I apply the OTA and I'm OK with that. But I just want to make sure that the update using Mobile Odin Pro without wipes will proceed with these MODs installed and that if it fails... I won't end up with a phone that does not work. Also, if anyone knows where I can get these same 4.1.1 MODs that work on 4.1.2... I would appreciated it. I searched, but could not find them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
Did not wipe nothing on my S3 but you never know. If i will you i will try. You can always reinstall this mods back... :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tamanaco:
I just tried flashing the OTA using Mobile Odin Pro, but when I check the version under about it is still 4.1.1. In step 9. the pop up warning about 34 out 766 files having not matching signature had 3 choices: Cancel, Disable and Continue. I clicked "Continue"... should I have clicked Disable or Cancel? When the phone rebooted it displayed a message that I could not read completely because it goes by too fast... but I was able read something like Assert Failed. After it reboots the only thing that changed was the icon for Odin Mobile... It now has a generic Android icon with the name eu.chainfire.mobileodin. What Am I doing wrong?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
Seems like you had to many missmatch or have something dissable(remove) what is needed to upgrate. Try to enable dissabled apps and try again. BTW i had just 2 out of 596 not matching. This maybe problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tamanaco:
In step 9 of your instructions when you say "click ignore"... you meant click Continue.. Right? Do you know what clicking "Disable" does?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
Yes i did click continue.. i meant ignore missmatch.. No i have no idea what will happend if you click dissable. You know what go to recovery and make nondroid then try everything passible. If something goes wrong you can always restore nondroid backup.. :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
If you install true CWM update 4.3 from card will this wipe data or not? I did update sideload from ADB and i still have all i had even SU and ROOT. Just asking for future information.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] upndwn4par:
I didn't try it, so I don't know. But I doubt the method listed in the OP is the only way to update.

I prefer to start from a clean slate with updates, so I always wipe data, etc.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
I'm sorry i did not think of this...:)

BWT anybody who update without clean start, can you please post some info ..:)

I'm just wondering if (from my expirance on S4) you need to put pit files odin in order to dowgrade. I think 4.3 is changing parition , but i maybe wrong.. Just theory..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
If you need a pit file from before the 4.3 update, let me know. I got one I pulled from my s3 about 8 months ago.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
Thanks, but I have them. I will try when I get home.

Edit: other theory it is possible that att lock boot loader on S3?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loserskater:
Are you going to try downgrading to 4.1.x? If so, I'm assuming you're willing to brick?

I was wondering if flashing the leaked 4.3 bootloaders then downgrading would work...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
I have 2 upgrades on my account. I can get new s3 for almost nothing.:)

I will try this first. With ADB sideload

Edit: can someone compare boot image from MJ6 and OTA. I can't now because I'm not by PC
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
I run to problem on ADB. Did not let me run flash 4.1.2 unless i'm on stock recovery... By any chance do you know how to uninstall custom recovery from Rom Manager?

I see for how much i can get new in ATT...:)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Joe Friday:
So I go to flash it and I get a status 7 error. I've tried to fix it to no avail, anybody have suggestions?

I tried this in both CWM and stock, and I'm running 4.1.2 right now. It was unrooted when I tried flashing with stock if that helps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
I sugest to stay on 4.1.2 antil someone find out more about OTA 4.3 update...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Joe Friday:
No kidding, I'm about to fire up odin and completely reflash the OS unless a fix comes out soon... I've tried to get 4.3 three times from the lovely folks at AT&T and it fails at about 30%, I'm almost ready to go to my local store.

And that was after I flashed stock recovery, did the unroot in superuser, and factory resetted the phone. Poor thing probably wishes it were an iphone :P
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
I got my new phone for some chnge from ATT and I did root 4.3 OTA with CF-Auto and everything is working just fine... Like i said just update security policy and SU will work.

I made video as proff SU working

How to update security policy and can we downgrade after this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] indymx:
At thus time there is no way to downgrade.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
When you root and open SU you will get FC and security warning in notification bar. Click on it and agree. No you can not downgrade once you on OTA 4.3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Joe Friday:
Glad that works for you, I'll have to use CF next time instead of my normal, probably outdated method of rooting.

One mobile Odin, a factory reset, and a 4.1.2 update later, perhaps I will be able to enjoy this 4.3 update as well :p
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
If you on 4.2.1 don't update. There is no way back once you update to 4.3 OTA
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] upndwn4par:
I don't even need to look at the video...I believe you. Just not sure why it wasn't working for me. I am going to do a factory reset tonight and try again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] norbarb:
I should read security agreement before I click ok. It maybe some info about knox security or even qfuse or boot loader.

EDIT: later today I post file I root my phone with.

[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
So I have a few Tweaks for Build Prop if you would like to use them! I`m currently working on the guide so give me time I have to restore my computer tonight so after I do that I can provide some screenshots.

All these changes are done via Build Prop!

These Build Prop Changes Does the Following. Note: NONE of these changes I made NEVER applied til I reset the phone so you would need to wipe/reset the phone before they take affect! Also you will need to replace the LGBrowser_JB.apk under system/app with the International Optimus G Pro`s Browser as for some reason the one on here the address bar disapears but thats only if you use the stock browser.

1. No Carrier Name in Notification bar (Gets moved to bottom when opening notification bar. See Screenshots.

2. Gives 4 Signal Bars , International Data Icons (see screenshot 3G,H,LTE/4G) Instead of the AT&T Junk)

3. When Resetting the Phone it uses the Phones actual setup process that android uses and not AT&T`s Ready to Go Junk!

4. Just another Note!: Some of the changes from this edit will cause your APN to be blank so if you have no data be sure to check and or add the correct APN for your Carrier.

Build Prop Changes:

These will show a Standered international 4G data icon for 3G/HSPA+ and LTE for LTE.

ro.build.target_county: CA

ro.build.target_operator: TLS

These will show a standered international 3G data Icon for 3G/HSPA+ and 4G for LTE (Messes up settings menu pretty bad)

ro.build.target_county: SK

ro.build.target_operator: SKT

For The Korean Versions that want the AT&T 4G and 4G LTE Icons or if you want to change back and forgot.

ro.build.target_county: US

ro.build.target_operator: ATT

Screenshots:

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

Network Selection Mod:

This Build Prop Change is Simple! Under Mobile networks it gives you Network Selection which allows you to easily FORCE your phone on WCDMA(3G/HSPA) GSM(EDGE) Or LTE Only. Which in Low coverage areas is Great! This just makes it easier to change as it is just under the phones settings!

How To: Use your Build Prop Editor and Find:

Then just change it from disable to enable and now you should see it under settings - Mobile Networks.

Screenshot After Change Made: Uploading soon.

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

Remeber I`m not responsible for anything done wrong. These Settings are confirmed working I changed too many eariler just playing about and I have to flash the stock firmware back on my phone Which I can`t at the moment til I restore my machine. I got a new motherboard today and windows wont freaking load cause it has an OEM copy installed (Microsoft!!! Grrrr). That`s why I cant 100% the guide cause a lot of things FC. I got happy and changed almost everything over to the same as the SKT Korean Version.
[LG Optimus G Pro] draiko913:
Does changing the target countries and carriers have any negative impact on the play store? I'm a little hesitant to change since some apps are country and/or carrier dependant.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
Not sure. I dont do carrier billing or anything like that. If anything you would have more lol. I know when I put my UK sim in any AT&T phone MORE apps ALWAYS show up lol.

Okay, so ever since finding your thread, I have been messing around with the build.prop. I have enabled the Google setup instead of AT&T's crap and also the icons and such. I'm currently working on other things with the build.prop such as wifi scanning interval. I'm also pulling settings from the CM10.1 prop for options that the default stock prop might not have! So far I've been able to change the wifi interval scanning and others.
