The rom isn't defective neither is the method you put it on the phone with.

Not getting into a peeing contest but your opinion is just that yours. Mine is mine. Differences aside have you read the rest of what I typed? I see you chose to only respond to bits and pieces.

Have you done a factory reset, and wipe the cache from recovery?

Also try another computer might be something in yours that is borked up.

[MENTION=4454476]smallyetzon[/MENTION] is this the same phone you had the USB problem with?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2362936

If it is are you certain there isn't a problem with the USB port? Didn't you have issues with it charging shortly after it was replaced and no data sync too?

Sorry if the phone has been replaced but some people here like to try to help. I am trying to look at this from every possible angle because myself and many others have used this without issue.

And if the only point of using this was to reset binary count you should have just used triangle away. It will reset the binary count but not the warranty bit that still shows. But the warranty bit still shows now even after using this restore.

If you want to sell the phone put it on www.swappa.com they sell for about $250 there and don't care if it has been modified as long as the phone functions and doesn't have a cracked display.

Is there a version of this stock MJB rom with Knox installed?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] imcol:
Yes. Completely Stock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chemicalseb:
Hm, I installed this last week but I can't seem to find Knox in the applications. I think I remember being able to see it in there when I had upgraded to 4.3 via OTA.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] imcol:
Knox is not in the app drawer. Its hidden. It only gets "activated" when something "breaches" the phone's system.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SuperMidgetProductions:
i don't think you understand how knox actually works, yes it is part of our bootloader but the software just doesn't exist on our phones. Its not "hidden" it just isn't offered. it was put in the bootloader as part of the security it provides, once the phone is tampered with such as rooting, it pretty much self destructs to protect the data it has encrypted.

knox is a security type software used to create "containers" the user makes and adds files/apps to that are protected all the way from boot to you putting in your password to access them. it was planned for our phones but pulled due to (surprise surprise) functionality issues. so even though it was added to the bootloader its nowhere else in the software. when it is tripped in the boot loader on phones that do have the software installed you can no longer create new protected containers, or access existing containers.

THANK YOU! finally got this phone booted again. messed up part is all i did was a factory reset and it wouldnt boot, wouldnt wipe, and this fixed it.

as others have said, might want to add another step to wipe after flash. after flashing i rebooted 3 times, one time giving it 20+ mins to boot and it froze at att screen. then booted into download mode and confirmed the flash and binary was reset. booted into stock recovery and wiped, rebooted again and bam, booted right up.

thanks again, a beer headed your way
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RoryB:
Thought I'd share

Flashed to stock with this before trying [MENTION=1683096]PwnCakes193[/MENTION] version 3.6

Worked fine, but WiFi did not work after the flash.

Did not matter since I rooted and flashed the new ROM.

Now WiFi works again.

I have seen on other threads about flashing a non-stock kernel to get WiFi working.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paluinfusion:
I am on latest CM nightly (d2lte) which is having signal drop issue.

Do I just download either of the zip files listed in OP, and flash in CWM recovery (not thru odin) and just boot and go ?

I am on MJB bootloader btw,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RoryB:
Correct, download one of the two files in the OP depending on which recovery you have. Then flash using that recovery.

I have used both methods in this thread to root and get custom recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paluinfusion:
I flashed the stock ROM in op thru recovery. So, now I lost my custom recovery, where I was able to flash any custom ROM ?

If so, do i have to go thru odin to get the phone rooted and get custom recovery or is there a way without odin at this point

(Reason for asking, I am @ work and have only access to mac where odin doesnt work)

So this Stock zip we just flash in our recovery? Because everytime I went to stock, I had to Odin, but from what I'm reading it sounds like we flash it then Odin for recovery correct?

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
Yeah you'll need odin to flash a recovery again. If you want to root then just flash chainfires supersu zip

There are some links to recovery tar files on the first few pages if tou need them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Headcase_Fargone:
Need some help, folks.

This I747 came with stock Touchwiz 4.1.2. The only ROM I've been able to successfully flash has been AOKP 4.4.2, but the camera doesn't work. I'm trying to revert back to stock but I'm having issues flashing anything that messes with the bootloader.

This phone appears to have a T999 bootloader for some reason, though it's most assuredly the AT&T I747. Flashing this stock revert zip gives me the following error in TWRP:

assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747UCALEM"

This repeats a few times with different bootloader versions before finally:

E:Error executing updater binary in zip (filename)

Failed.

Can anyone help?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
look behind your battery and make sure you do indeed have an I747. I'm pretty sure if someone had flashed the T999 bootloaders then would have resulted in a brick. The assert failed because it's not finding one of those matching bootloaders.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Headcase_Fargone:
Everything on the phone identifies as SGH-I747. Behind the battery, backplate branding, System -> About, etc etc. The only thing that shows up as T999 is the bootloader. I've been posting everywhere the past two weeks and no one's been able to tell me how to fix it yet, sadly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
Well if you open the zip and delete the first lines in the install script with the assert check it will skip that and go on to flashing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
oh and if you want to keep a custom recovery after flashing this. Before you reboot flash TWRP again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
another thing do you know what T999 bootloader you are on?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Headcase_Fargone:
I grabbed a build info app off the Play store and this is what it shows:

Boot loader version T999UVDMD5

Finger print samsung/d2vl/d2can:4.1.1/JRO03l/I747ZSEMC:user/release-keys

Product d2vl

Model SGH-I747
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
Your ****'s all jacked up huh? Give me a few... Lets see if we can fix that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Headcase_Fargone:
So I'm guessing this line means it checks for one of these bootloader revisions before proceeding and removing it from 'updater-script' will force it to flash anyway?

assert(getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747UCALEM" || getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747UCALG1" || getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747UCDLK3" || getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747UCDMG2" || getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747UCUEMJ2" || getprop("ro.bootloader") == "I747UCUEMJB");

There's a chance it might brick it, right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
That is correct.

Of course there is always a chance of bricking when messing with the bootloaders! That's why I put that check in there.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
Yep. Complete firmware
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
Alright so I've finally had it with my gps not locking and know its because of using 4.4 roms. Not really the best explanation but you know what I mean I hope. (The same reason gps would become like this for us in the past). Its probably even still messed up from back then to be honest.

So I want your opinion if I should use this or an older odin tar? Since I'm still on the mj2 bootloader. I know I've read you saying it was possible but is it as simple as it used to be to go from mg2 to the one before it? Or do you think it'd be easier just to use this and lock into mjb?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
Have you tried the dialer code to rebuild the nv data? Look on the second or third post of sr3x.

If I were you if I would use the last lk3 Odin tar since your on mj2. Always nice to keep that option open of you can. Obviously it's easier to use this zip but I'd go through the extra trouble if I had too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pimpnmaxima:

formatting cache

then it errors out

Any help appreciated
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
there are 2 builds in the op for different recoveries I suspect you are using CWM and you downloaded the TWRP version. That error is why I had to make two builds. CWM and TWRP want different arguments for formatting cache, and dalvik.

Will I be able to unlock after flashing this. Please advise. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
You should be able to unlock regardless of what rom your on. All you need is a new SIM card and the unlock code.

So far I havent found that to be true. I am on Cyanogenmod 11 nightlies and unable to unlock using the unlock code. I have tried 4 times I think.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
Well... I really can't give you a for sure yes. But since it is stock rom I can't see why you couldn't unlock it after installing this.

Question for you enewman17. I can sometimes be a bit of a flash whore, and after a while, I like to Odin back to stock wiping the entire emmc, which completely starts the device totally clear.

Now that I'm on the dreaded MJB bootloaders that option seems to be a bit more complicated to achieve. Will flashing this do that for me?

Thanks

BTW, Thanks for all you do for the aging SIII
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] indymx:
Since this isn't an odin flashable rom, no.

What you are describing is exactly what I'm trying to accomplish, and it would seem that somehow my S3 is screwed right now due to a modem / radio issue.

I have a couple other things I am going to try, but right now, It's not looking good.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
Sorta.. least that was the goal. The one thing I really recommend is formatting the internal memory before flashing this, that way it's totally clean. But it should yield the same results as odin. When I get some more time I wanna try to make one flashable with odin... we'll see how that goes.

For your reason I wouldn't even bother flashing this... I'd just wipe everything specially internal memory and clean up the external sd card and flash your favorite rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kangi26:
Excellent, thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] indymx:
Any idea why I'm having so much trouble getting the modem working?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
From your previous post it looks like you reinstalled the modem again still with no data, and the baseband version in the settings>More>about device reads I747UCUEMJB

If this is true then your modem install is ok since you are still getting a signal and cellular service. If the modem install were screwed you would have nothing. IDK if you want to try cleaning your sim card with some 91% isopropyl alcohol.

might try installing one of the bootloader and modem packages I have in the S3Rx thread.

If nothing else, flash this again and take your phone in and get a new sim card, if that don't fix it then maybe they'll give you new phone...

Not sure what else to do beyond that. Sorry bud, I hope it works out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] indymx:
I'll try the sim. But... I have a nandroid backup, last time I checked, it worked she I restored that, but it goes nuts with FC's..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kangi26:
I'm not sure if this will make a difference(and for the life of me I cant remember where I saw it). Try flashing the Modem FIRST, then install the ROM.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] indymx:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] indymx:
I'm wondering if my issue might be related to ordering a new phone.. I wonder if they removed data from my provisioning.

I know when I restart mobile data, I can see the icons in the quick launch (on CM11) turn red for a couple of seconds, which usually indicates that it's connected to mobile data, and then then return to white.

Either way, nothing I have tried has helped.

I've tried several different roms, reinstalled modems and boot loaders a couple of times, both before and after reinstalling roms and have cleared apns and reset them.

No combination works.

I guess I'll just have to wait until tomorrow when the new phone comes to find out if I have data on it..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
That is a good possibility. Call 611 they should be able to tell you. Since the baseband is good and your IMEI is intact, this makes sense. Probably just an unlucky coincidence.
