Same here all fine but wifi.

Could one try modem with out the boot loaderloader?

I'm willing to try just modem if there one fixed up for mjb.

Using mj2 modem & boot loader with odex version now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] upndwn4par:
I would guess the MJB modem is required. Weird that you guys have data but not wifi.

I thought [MENTION=2799235]RockRatt[/MENTION] pulled one, but I can't find a zip. If he didn't, I'll pull one tonight.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loserskater:
I was going to start a new thread, but I'll just add it to this thread. Here's a fully functional "directory-based" build. Not using any of the leaked files.

Features:

Odexed

Rooted

Knox removed

SELinux set to Permissive (Pretty sure this is what was causing the problems)

init.d support (although nothing is there yet)

AT&T bloat removed

Now we can move on and start working on custom roms!

Thanks for the update loser, so for flashing the above we require to be on the updated bootloader/Firmware? I don't want to loose the ability to flash older 4.1.2 but as the same time want to use 4.3. LOL

So can we be on the older bootloader/firmware 4.1.2? I am happy to flash anything until the downgrade is possible
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loserskater:
You can flash it on the 4.1.2 bootloader but things like wifi probably won't work until you upgrade. I haven't tested this, but you should be able to flash 4.1.2 roms on the 4.3 bootloader, but once again, it might break things like wifi. I don't think any of the 4.1.2 roms include bootloaders so you should be fine.

I think there's some confusion about the term "downgrading". It's strictly bootloaders that you can't downgrade. So if you want to go back to stock, DON"T flash the 4.1.1 stock tar, but if you want to use 4.1.2 roms, you can. You can mess with the system and boot partitions without causing issues. Not sure why people want to go back to 4.1.2 though, as 4.3 is solid as is, let alone all of the modding that's about to happen.

EDIT:

Installing TWRP solved this. I must not have been holding my jaw at the correct angle and upset the balance of the universe.

But now I've got d2att_4.3_MJB_Debloat_Deodex_v1.2 up and running, but all the AT&T junk is still on it. Am I misunderstanding what debloat means?

That's what I'm running with MJB rom & modem, MG2 bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rkant18:
I have the mjb bootloader do you think this will work
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pc103:
Great question. All I've got is opinion, since I never got the 4.3 bootloader.

My approach was based downflashing a stock FW (pre 4.3 OTA) using odin. MJB bootloader won't allow that.

The Knoxless rom versions here play nicer with earlier 4.x bootloaders than with the MJB one you have.

You could try de-Knoxing OTA, but I don't know if that will alter the mjb bootloader at all.

It may be worth noting that the insecure kernel includes SELinux set to permissive, but I have toggled that to enforcing with no negative effects on connectivity.

Nothing I tried using mjb kernels made data & wifi usable in this rom, even with my earlier bootloaders.

Sorry I can't offer more. That is the limits of my 4.3 experience.

I know it's little late for topic but The link about bootloader does not work, and I need to flash it :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone:
Thanks for your quick reply. The reason I want to stick with SrX 4.1.2 is because of the stability/battery life I used to get. Initial 4.3 reports are not worth the upgrade. Initially everyone like to compare the new version with old versions, but if we upgrade we will never be able to revert back 4.1.2 stock.

Secondally, we dont have any 4.3 stock odin tar available till date. So if things go wrong, people prefer to go 100% stock through ODIN.

Edit: So when you post the new 4.3 ROM, please do post the steps required for the upgrade which I know you always do. Like upgrade boot loader/firmware, Wipe System/Data. LOL i am drunk

Edit: Just noticed you have uploaded the 4.3 ROM, don't ask me how I got to know.

Going to give this a shot on MJ2 bootloader and modem. See how this works out and edit my post. Downloading the rom now and also considering trying to flash the mj2 kernel to see if that fixes wifi and the other modem issues like it seems to of for the t999.

Loser would it be suicidal to try and just flash the modem and not the bootloader? Or is that reversible even by just flashing the bootloader later and just locking in? Considering trying that aswell tonight if I can't get it working otherwise. Worst comes to worst though I can just go back to the leak thanks to you guys hard work. Much appreciated :good:

:o One post out of all these threads I miss due to all the other exciting news in here, shame on me. Thank you for the very quick response. Glad you guys figured all this out and I can't wait to see whats in store for us over the next month

Edit: Ok same issues others were having with the ROM posted in the OP, Wifi won't even let me toggle it on. Going to see if the modem or mj2 kernel fix that now. Mobile data, GPS and everything else seem to function just fine on MJ2 modem and bootloader as others have said. Will try the kernel first to see if that will do it.

Ok flashed the mj2 kernel from loser's leak rom thread and wifi toggle works again, and wifi is 100% working. Thank you to the tmobile guys who came up with that one. Hopefully this clears up some pages of people who can't get wifi working right. Don't ask me why but theres a temporary fix to tide people over. :good:

Thanks for your continued support.. My last question for the day: Can we flash 4.1.2 bootloader/modem on the 4.3 Leaked version?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] upndwn4par:
Nice! I'll link your post to the OP.

What did you do to get it working? Can't just be SELinux because when I flash the deodexed ROM with the insecure kernel it won't get past the AT&T splash screen (you can see that SELinux is permissive from the screenshot). Though, maybe I didn't wait long enough. I'll try again. If you don't want to post the answer here so as not to tip off Sammy, please send me a PM.

I noticed they were used from the ramdisk. Are you sure they are empty and not hidden? I have noticed some devs recently (notably Chainfire) that have updater-scripts that are also "empty". If an empty updater-script can flash something, I need to go back to dev school. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone:

For example, if I updated and didn't like it, could I flash back to s3rx, which doesn't have any bootloaders in the package?

Flash ROM

The ATT S4 has had a locked bootloader from day one and the dev have devised a method to work around it. Later upgrades of the ATT S4 locked down the bootloader even more, but those with the original have had all the upgrades on the original MDL bootloader. This has worked out well. Based on what we've learned with the S3 the new MJB bootloader may be a problem, and future custom Roms will have to use the MJ2 or other bootloader. A real pita. but workable. I would advise not to upgrade to the MJB bootloader until it is determined how that will affect us. This Rom from Loser will work on the MJ2 bootloader and allow us to downgrade.

Hey upndwn4par (If you do not want this here let me know and I will edit and ask via PM)

Have you tried doing the same type build for the ATT S4 OTA?

I have been trying different ways to apply the Patch's to MF3 but haven't been able to get it to boot.

I WAS able to use the Patch folder and part of the updater-script to make the MJ9 modem and THOUGHT I could grab parts of the updater-script for all the .apk patches the same way. So we could have a STOCK pure as possible flashable zip for MJ9.

I thought I was close a couple times as it would start to boot and go past the Samsung splash screen and onto the ATT screen then it would reboot automatically to twrp recovery. Other times it seemed it was gonna boot then I got the Not Authorized by ATT has been found on the device. At that point I tried reflashing just a loki-kernel or other kernels to test. I would like to see someone with more experience with getting these things to build and pull the .apks and such.

If for some reason you need to ODIN back to stock, having a 4.3 bootloader might be a problem. Cos we don't have a stock image for 4.3 release anywhere yet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shortydoggg:
Why is everyone so resillient?

One reason:

It is a general practice that we non-developers are never supposed to accept OTAs once rooted, anyway, and should only be flashing updates from our developers.

OTAs provide enhancements, bug fixes, and added security, but at the same time, often attempts to lock down the phones, and often makes things more difficult for us rooters.
