Tools You May Need And File Downloads For AT&T and the SGH-I747M

Here is a flashable Bootloader for the i747M 4.3

Here is a debrick Dump from a I747M from the UEMK5 4.3 that works

Broken link I will update IF/AFTER it is fixed is an untested debrick dump for I747M from the DMF1 4.1.2 (WOuld be used to debrick a device that was bricked before or that has not updated to 4.3 bootloader only)

Here is a debrick file from the I747U on 4.3 thanks to theramsey3 I cannot test it obviously but it looks good in a hex editor. Should work for any one who has bricked the I747U by downgrading the boot loader.

Debrick file mirrors use only if the links ^^^above don't work please.

AT&T debrick file Use this ONLY if you are on AT&T and after you have been on the 4.3 bootloaders

SGH - I747M debrick fileUse this ONLY if you have an SGH-I747M that was on the 4.3 bootloaders.

Win32 Disk Imager (used to write the debrick file to the sd)

Samsunk Kies

Go Here For Odin Pick Whichever One You Want To Use I Used 3.09

Do Not worry about downloading or installing root or KnoxRemover or SuperSU from the thread below yet focus on the task at hand you need to get your phone booting first then concern yourself with other goodies. You need TWRP and possibly ODIN if you want to take it from there. There are instructions in that thread on the installation of TWRP Skip the rest for now.

Go Here For TWRP Custom Recovery There Is Also A Link To ODIN There

Partition Wizard Free (There is a link with instructions below)

With AT&T you will have to download 4.3 bootloaders, a 4.3 rom, a 4.3 kernel and a 4.3 modem. I will post links to Threads where I retreived mine at and possibly a mirror download link with appropriate permissions.

AT&T info and link to roms, bootloader, kernel and modem I used to recover. Click below.

I got everything I flashed from here

Lately I have been running Looserskaters S3Rx, it is very stable and very functional Here is a link to it, I highly recommend it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2252932 I am not going to intentionally brick my phone again to test if you can flash this directly from a hardbrick so if anyone is successful or unsuccessful please let me know so I can update this thread.

Use this bootloader for the AT&T i747 ONLY https://www.dropbox.com/s/vbyeorrxapwrots/d2att_I747UCUEMJB_bootloader.zip the one in the tread where I got mine hasn't been working so use this bootloader it is the same one just hosted by a different person.

DO not use these files if you are not on AT&T you will simply be wasting your time by bricking your phone again. AND requiring a Jtag.

For the kernel I flashed the one in the middle d2att_Kernel_Stock_init.d_4.3_MJB_v1.0.zip which belongs to upndwn4par. I used loserskater's rom, bootloader and modem everything I used was linked in that thread. With proper permissions I would like to mirror those links as I know they work well.

This will have you rooted from jump Street. You might have to download supersu from the play store. I didn't have to. But YMMV.

Your phone won't boot without the debrick SD card? Click below.

If you are on AT&T

When I first got mine booting again it would only boot with the micro SD card that has the .IMG file on it in the phone and only after a battery pull. What I did was boot back to recovery, remove my SD card and I had a spare SD card I used to flash the files with, I inserted it told TWRP to mount the new SD card, flashed the bootloader again and it seems to have cured my phones malfunctions. It now boots on its own like nothing ever happened. It may not happen like this for you???]

For the SGH-I747M

You have Two choices either flash the bootloader only via the 2 sd card method outlined for AT&T which requires flashing Custom recovery and VOIDING YOUR WARRANTYor you can reflash with odin and possibly try a factory reset in the samsung stock 3e recovery.

If your phone is booting now don't play with the bootloaders any more.

Make a nandroid backup of your phone if you are going to follow the instructions below.

You assume all risk associated with such...

Do you want to be able to use wifi, bluetooth or USB tethering? Click below. But read everything carefully before you do anything.

I contacted enewman17 and inquired about the link below \/ \/ \/ he advised me that it should be flashable via custom recovery to any AT&T I747 on 4.3 regardless of rom or kernel and possibly without root. He also said he thinks it may work on the I747M also.

If any I747M users flash it and are successful or unsuccessful please let me know so I can post whether this is effective for that as well.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46804681&postcount=5 I flashed enewman17's tether hack with bluetooth enabled from there ^^^which allows wifi tethering through the roms native tethering app without the carrier getting their hands in your pocket.

Do you need instructions to install the above file? Click below

To install this you need to

*download this file^^^

*move it to your SD card

*put the SD card by k into the phone

*turn the phone off

*boot into recovery

*select install

*navigate to the location of the file ^^^

*select the correct file

*write the file to the phone

It works flawlessly for me buy your results may vary?

DO you want to get your 16GB micro SD card back to a use able state so you can store data on it again? Click below for details.

If you want to restore your sd card to a useable state after you get everything running again I used http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html, After you install it and open it Insert your SD card into your computer and select the drive letter assigned to your SD card tell the partition wizard to delete all partitions then in the top left corner click apply. You now have a completly blank unformatted SD card. Now Insert it into your phone the phone will give you a notification that the sd card is unformatted and give you an option to format it. you now have a blank formatted SD card you can use again.

More to come in the near future.
