I have CM10.2.0 with MJB bootloader

So I am running CyanogenMod with JB installed on it and I do have not flashed any KIt Kat yet. I am just wanting to unroot. If I follow the flashing way via teamwin, will I be fine since I have the JB bootloader? I saw that other people are bricking and I just want to be safe. Also if I just do the odin way, can I still flash the first thing in the directions and then push the .tar file? Honestly I am just paranoid of bricking, don't judge!

Need Stock Recovery ODIN Flashable

Okay, So Im On Stock 4.4.2 and Im gonna sell my phone. How do I get TWRP off and Flash Stock Recovery with ODIN?

1. It Still Says Custom Binary and Recovery in Download mode.

2. Im gonna need to sell this thing as a 4.4.2 Stock device minus the warranty bit. It's way out of warranty coverage anyways.

3. Here's what I'm thinking. Root, Install Triangle Away, and then Flash Stock Recovery if a download for that exists?

BTW ENEWMAN THANKS SO MUCH! IF I COULD HIT THE THANKS BUTTON 1000 TIMES I WOULD.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
Your on the right track. Do step 3,I have a stock recovery that you just flash in twrp or cwm and when you reboot you'll have stock recovery. You can find it attached to the op of this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2789917

Many thanks for your efforts in making this method possible. I have just flashed using TWRP v. 2.7.0.0 coming from CM11 M8 SNAPSHOT and everything appears to be as it should be with one exception; WiFi will not turn on. Is this a known issue and do you know of a solution? Thank you!

Booting into stock recovery/factory reset resolved the wifi issue. All seems to be working now.

Decrypt after flash of the zip?

Hi, I attempted flashing this to get back to stock. I was also a person that could not use a carrier unlock code from ATT while on cyanogenmod. MD5 checksum was done and matched. I flashed the zip with CWM 6.0.4.7. It rebooted and seemed to work, checked the download mode and everything looked good. After booting into the OS...it's now asking me for a pin to decrypt the device. I decided to install TWRP and reflash the .zip, same deal. I did have it encrypted at one point in time but it was not encrypted before I flashed the .zip. Any ideas? I was hoping to unlock this phone and give it to somebody...

EDIT:

Well after a battery pull, TRWP warns me there is no OS when rebooting into system...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Its been a while since I've seen similar issues answered, so you my want to verify first.

If I'm not mistaken these type encryption issues usually are only solved by factory resetting. If you do this and still can't boot to an OS, try flashing a stock rom. If that still doesn't work, try flashing the stock firmware with Odin, first with only auto reboot and f-reset time checked, and if need be try again with re-partition checked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rjbanker:
Thanks for the tips. Do you think the .tar from this post would be safe to try to load from odin? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52341560&postcount=227. I have to admit this is a bit out of the normal flashing processes I've done in the past.

EDIT: I think I will try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2789917 starting with step 4, it looks like the process I need to follow to get back to stock using ODIN.

EDIT2: That did it! Flashing that file via odin 3.07 and choosing only the "Auto boot" and "Re-Partition" checkmark boxes got me into the OS. And I was able to carrier unlock it with my code from ATT. MANY thanks to DocHoliday77 for the tips!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GueSs_me:
Thanks for all your time and contributions. I just want someone to confirm to me what I will do is the right one.

My other phone is based on UCUEMJB and running custom 4.4.4 rom. What I understood from the instruction is the following:

1\ Download and install (ATT_I747_UCUEMJB_StockRestore_2282014 ) through TWRP.

2\ Download and install (ATT_I747_UCUEMJB_StockRestore_CWM_2282014 ) through TWRP.

3\ Download and install (d2att_I747UCUEMJB_bootloader_modem_4.3) through TWRP.

4\ Download and install (I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5) through Odin 3.07.

Am I on the right track?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Personally, I think the best option for updating using the official OTA is to flash the MJB firmware via Odin on your computer and factory reset.

You can get the firmware here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2722660

Aside from that, no one will be able to help you much without detailed information about the failure. For example, if it flashed part of the way through, DO NOT do what I just said above! But if it just wouldn't even attempt the flash, it should be just fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rajesh1136:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] n_alvarez2007:
Checking in here to verify that this indeed works. I flashed it last night and everything works as advertised. However the stock recovery looked different than I remember, mostly enlarged, but that may be because I've never seen the 4.3 stock recovery up until now. Safe to flash for I747 owners.

I believe, and not

Did you do a factory data reset in stock recovery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chemicalseb:
Thank you so so much for this!!!!!!!!!!!

I had been trying to get back to stock MJB for 2 weeks now. Kept getting set_perm errors and format() errors.

I think the culprit was CWM for me.

I flashed TWRP with Odin and was able to flash your original MJB stock zip successfully.

Here's what it says in download mode now:

"Odin mode

Product name: SGH-i747

Custom binary download: Yes (1 counts)

Current binary: Custom

System status: Custom

Qualcom Secureboot: Enable

Warranty Bit: 1

Bootloader RP SWREV: 2"

Also, stock recovery was successfully installed.

When I had tried to flash the CWM version of your stock MJB rom, although it had given me "set_perm some changes failed" errors, I believe it had successfully changed Current Binary to Official, but I'm not exactly sure.

Personally, I'm okay even if the reset counter didn't work as I'm not planning on reselling my S3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nathanyang0428:
After I found that I could not boot up my S3, I immediately flashed in philz_touch_6.15.4-d2att. the ODIN flash in was ok, but after reboot, my S3 still hung at Samsung Galaxy SIII logo.

I took out the battery, then press 3 keys tried to come to recovery but failed. (I could see the blue robot and then phone restart without going to recovery).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
Might flash it again it will erase the count... but a few times I had it say 0 the first time I checked let the phone boot and checked again and it said 1 IDK.... this has been a real pain in my ass.

One could always delete the first part of the script that resets the count and use triangle away first before flashing this, that would work as well. But the goal was to try and make it all in one flash.

3. Wipe and install UCUFNE4 in custom recovery.

Stock DeOdex + Root: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358550125

so i need to remove root later so i return a clean device. Or Can i use your Odin flashable stock restore in this thread and try OTA.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
I just uploaded a purely stock rom last night. Specifically for the purpose of going back to stock unrooted in case it needs to be returned or sold. As soon as I can verify the upload is good I'll post it for you.

Once you've updated, you can no longer use the ota.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rajesh1136:
Please tell me what you did to restore stock unrooted and whether you able to do OTA
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Doh! :facepalm:

I was thinking of the wrong one! I uploaded the stock NE4 rom. (Was thinking if that instead from the post above linking the odex and deodexed NE4 roms.

But if you are trying to go full stock MJB, can always flash the stock MJB firmware as an alternative. It's in a thread in the General section. Flash in Odin and factory reset.

Sorry I got confused before! (Lack of sleep!)

Anyway, I updated to NE4 completely differently. But if you are having problems using enewman17's thread in the General section, the above suggestion is a good alternative for getting back to stock MJB so you can use the ota.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rajesh1136:
I again restored to MJB using Odin method given in first post. Surprisingly now OTA says software up to date :):confused:

Not sure whats happening. also count dint reset to 0. Its 1
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
You may need to give it a day before it grabs the ota. Probably won't take that long though.

If you're referring to the Warranty Bit being 1, there is no way to reset it. If you're referring to the binary count, run Triangle away after rooting (update first). But if you ever use a custom kernel or recovery, it'll go right back to 1.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rajesh1136:
It picked OTA and upgraded to 4.4.2. All stock now. Im planning to sell it off. Warranty bit and Flash count matters ?

Both has 1 now. If i want to reset i need to root again
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
You cannot reset the warranty bit. Just not possible. If you want to reset the binary counter you have to be rooted and run Triangle Away.

Use Towelroot to gain root. Run Triangle Away and reset the counter.

Open SuperSU app and select Full Unroot.

Then factory reset and you should be ready to sell.

If your on touch wiz 4.4.2 and have the latest bootloader on your device I highly suggest you do not flash this! Chances are you will end up with a brick.

I actually already did it and it didnt brick my phone. From what i can tell it worked perfectly, Im on 4.3 and i just booted into recovery and it is stock.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
Oh well I'm glad it all worked... I was worried.

Nah if you have the code then your good, you just have to be on a stock touchwiz Rom. I was referring to a backdoor method where you could SIM unlock the phone in a special dialer service menu. It was patched in later firmware.
