[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] AndroidInsanity:
No you didn't. You said first it was overall a bore. You just condtridicted yourself buddy. Anyway thanks for feedback. I didn't have the proper equipment and I ain't no professional. I do now so I am back doing videos. But anyway please come across a bit more friendly next time you give advice :)
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Kenobz:
I'm fine with the way I gave/give advice except I missed a sum up just in case you didn't understand a/the paragraph.

-Drone like voice

-You tilted the device wrongly catching bad reflection

-Overall a bore but it was decent the bore comes from your voice and "default" spec talk

I said nothing about your equipment next time there won't be a next time the video was a snooze. As far as being a professional if it's a goal work at it there are a couple points already equipment is fine, your voice, constantly moving the tablet around, makes it a bit boring. Trusting equipment to catch you won't work I'd suggest you get the basics first. As far as nice I'm some where in the middle don't read to much into it either the effort is good or bad but with work you can become better.

Good luck.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] AndroidInsanity:
The voice was due to my poor knowledge with how to put the voice OVER the video itself and a bad mic, yes I did tilt it and got bad reflection I agree, and yes my voice was like a "drone" as you say. And it was pretty dull I must admit.

All your points I mostly agree with. And thank you for your honesty, but there are ways to be more positive with giving advice that's all I am saying.

Maybe I am just a British stereotype who get's offended easily, if that's the case I do apologise!
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] THUDUK:
Thanks for the review and also to Android insanity for posting up the helpful video, I have just sold my galaxy note 8" tablet and was either going to spend the money on a ps vita or this note 7.

A question, when you install games does it automatically default to highest quality graphics or do you have to tweak things to get them.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] asratxda:
Yes, games automatically get set to highest graphics quality. I have played Riptide GP 2, Asphalt 8, Smash Hit, Real Boxing ( price dropped by 77%, I will buy it now!!!!! ) and all automatically get set to max graphics. Other games like Real Racing 3 automatically download the optimized data files for tegra 4.

There is also option in development section in setting to force 4X MSAA Anti-aliasing to all applications.

... ...

( I would prefer to buy Note 7, it is new and has amazing stylus PLUS superb battery performance when playing HD movies over wifi - around 9 hrs. :) :) )
[General Questions and Answers] rpgdev:
I've always wondered, if I have data and wifi enabled but just using wifi at any given moment. Does the phone still uses more energy than if you had data disabled and using wifi? I'd assume that it be using marginally more energy just because it is enabled but is it significant?

AT&T I747 UCUEMJB Stock Restore

This is Abandoned. I recommend you do not use this to restore you phone as to a fear of bricking your device.

This is a last ditch effort for restoring the AT&T I747 to factory stock. This zip will wipe all data, clear the binary flash count, restore the system, flash the latest KNOX firmware and stock recovery. There is absolutely no possible way to clear the warranty bit back to 0 IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REVERT ONCE TRIPED!! Not even Samsung can undo this.! Its the price we pay for rooting our phones. Also once tripped KNOX is rendered useless and will no longer be available as an app in your drawer.

This is meant for restoring your phone to as near stock as possible in hopes to capture any future OTA updates. Can't guarantee that will work either...

As always I don't take any responsibility for what you do with your phone. Please do not flash this if you don't understand the consequences. This thread will have limited support. Use with caution!

Directions are really simple.

Downloads:

TWRP and CWM 6.0.4.5 http://www.mediafire.com/download/30idxwhg2hidxx2/ATT_I747_UCUEMJB_StockRestore_2282014.zip

MD5: 739f9cf2d0eb570ec7d18146d5e4a45f

MD5: 487b55449ecf7b0c273d5df86f51c170

Odin: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52341560&postcount=227

Verify the MD5

Flash via custom recovery (CWM or TWRP).

When flash is done

Allow phone to fully boot up.

Boot into download mode and verify the count has been reset. (Hold Volume Down, Home and Power till you see D/L mode appear. Quickly release button combo, then Volume Up to continue)

Boot into recovery and verify that it is now stock. (Hold Volume Up, Home and Power till you see "Recovery Booting..." in the upper left hand corner then immediately release button combo)

If your selling your phone or returning for warranty now would be a good time to give one last factory data reset before boxing.

Quick noob question... Is it possible to Flash this via Odin?

Custom recovery as mentioned in instructions.

Sent from my awesome phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
Not sure what you mean. Yes this is completely stock so it has knox.

The qfuse or efuse.... are one-time-programmable (OTP) elements that are used to enable and disable security and debug features of the MSM7xxx device. The Qfuses are implemented as an array of one-bit fuse blocks. The Qfuse banks are used for two purposes — providing non-volatile, immutable storage of data, and configuration of hardware features. For immutable data storage, the Qfuses are read via a shadow register which contains the actual value stored and includes error correction. For configuration, each Qfuse is associated with a one-time write register. The value of each Qfuse is sensed at power up and stored in a register. Blowing Qfuses is done by placing a value to a register and applying current to the fuse. The fuse registers are accessible through JTAG and software readable address locations.

So long as your not trying to downgrade there is no fear of erasing this register. Previous versions did not use this feature to secure the bootloader. So in download mode you will see "Warranty Bit 1" if we get an update and they update the firmware it will jump to 2. Does this help? :good:

If I flash this can I still root my S3 again after?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sameog:
Thanks enewman17!

This lil' bugger is hard to get and hard to find. Plus, Samsung and AT&T only made 4.3 OTA only, therefore wasn't released as a ROM. <grrrrr>

No worries though, thanks to you for digging this up. I'm keeping this, in case my phone starts acting crazy or wanted the "stock feel" back.

Big ups, enewman17!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
Absolutely, there are a couple of ways. First you can flash cf auto root via odin or flash cwm or twrp with one of there Odin flashable.tars then flash the latest recovery flashable super user

This was needed badly around here. You're a genius.

However, we still need more to testers to verify this around here as with anything new. I cannot use this yet because I'm still on 4.1.2.

If it took the ota then it is stuck, but that doesn't mean that you can't use custom recoveries or obtain root. The s3 didn't change in that regard, I know the s4 is a lot harder with Loki and safestrap.

Well i bought an att i747 sg3 for a friend on ebay. Phone is on 4.3 baseband ucuemjb but i dont see anything related to knox on the phone. Not even in the download mode screen? Wasnt knox introduced for the s3 on the 4.3 update?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RoryB:
Baseband is not bootloader
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pckarma112:
Would like to see any reply to this one myself. Been doimg some reading and if I've read correctly. You can downgrade just the modem and do the unlock trick. I need to do more reading about it to verify. So dont take my word on it. Have read so many threads. Its getting foggy..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Yes, if you can find a way to downgrade the modem and still retain cellular functioning.... If you do figure out a way to do this, kindly post the results for everyone's benefit. For now, it appears any downgrade attempt just results in a baseband failure.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pckarma112:
I do not recall reading anything about a baseband failure for the note 2. I also do not appreciate the tone of your post. I dont go for hidden agenda type crap like this. I would suggest you go take a look at some of the note 2 forums and see what I am talking about. Better yet. Take your trolling challenge and shove it. Anytime, I read the word failure...it is almost always due to lack of following directions. If this is what happened to you....well there you go...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LifTeD_JK:
I just flashed this coming from a 4.4 custom rom and my touch screen is unresponsive. The compactive buttons make sound and the volume rocker and power button work. But I'm stuck on the start page for the setup. Screen touches are not recognized. Any thoughts guys?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Can you try booting into recovery and doing a hard wipe/reset?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LifTeD_JK:
Yeah I can get into recovery and download mode. Confirmed counter on DL mode and then did a factor reset in recovery mode.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
I would have ignored your post buddy because I thought this forum was all about addressing and treating each other with respect but for the fact that you apparently misunderstood my post and I feel a clarification would be helpful. When I said "failure", I literally meant "failure". I have been trying for a while to find a way of safely downgrading the 4.3 MJB modem only, i.e. without downgrading ROM or bootloader and still have a working fine. However, whilst the downgrade is possible, it always results in a modem failure and loss of cellular functioning because the 4.3MJB bootloader appears tightly linked to the modem. The reason I responded to your post, therefore, was to see if someone else had found a way to successfully do this which would indeed be for everyone's benefit. Therefore, no hidden agenda was intended and your rhetoric is misplaced.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pckarma112:
if thats the case.

The point is to flash to the downgraded modem in recovery. Then do the dialer trick and unlock. Then simply reflash back to the 4.3 jb modem. Why on earth would you want to stay on the old one? ...modem that is. If you read the modem thread for the s3. The very last post is someone saying he did it with the rogers (m) version of the phone. I myself have done it with the n2 and had no issues what so ever. However, my n2 was on 4.1.2....not 4.3.....either way it is the boot loader that is the issue. For the n2. Its knox security that creates the problem. The bootloader is not locked. Its the security preventing downgrade of boot loader. So, are you saying you tried it and knox prevented you from flashing the modem? Or did you flash it but could not do the unlock trick? Simply saying I tried it..does not help much. Perhaps I read you wrong. But, if you had provided some info. I would not have percieved it that way.

I dont see the point in downgrading the modem on a s3 for any reason other than to unlock. Knox has bonked all that. Hence the reason that thread is about dead...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Apologies if my first reply ticked you off the wrong way. Please believe me when I say no pun was intended. We are, however, on the same page and the purpose of the downgrade is to be able to do the free unlock. It would appear that the unlock function is on the 4.1.1 radio and not on the ROM itself contrary to popular belief. Therefore, if you can have a working 4.1.1 modem on any (stock) ROM, you should be able to do the free unlock via the service menu. I don't know about the note-2 but for the S3, it appears you cannot downgrade the modem once you have the 4.3 MJB bootloader and still have a working phone. It isn't just knox security. I've tried flashing the 4.1.1 modem via recovery on a rooted and de-knoxed phone but even though the flashing appears successful, when you go to settings, you will see that baseband version is showing as "unknown", IMEI is null, nothing comes up on the service menu and all cellular functioning has stopped. This is only rectified by re-flashing the stock 4.3 MJB modem. I have, however, seen the case of a user who had the modified 4.3 MJ2 ROM and MJ2 bootloader and was able to flash the 4.1.1 modem and free unlock. The (modified) 4.3 MJ2 bootloader is, of course, not the same as the stock 4.3 MJB and can apparently be downgraded. The reason I showed interest in your post was, therefore, because we have, all this time, been focused on finding ways of safely downgrading the 4.3 bootloader to use the free unlock function. As we now know, any attempt to downgrade the bootloader almost always results in a hard brick. The reality, however, is that downgrading the bootloader or even ROM may not be necessary but downgrading the modem only. However, downgrading the modem does not result in a brick but mere loss of cellular functioning. Therefore, if a way can be found to downgrade the modem and still preserve cell functioning, then this would be a thankful solution for those who still hope to unlock their phones without being subject to the mercy of the phone companies or risk falling prey to online scam sites.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pckarma112:
Yep.

First, yes your first reply did tick me off. Has more to do with fact that I have run in to some very shall we say..mean people since I have been following some of the s3 threads. I do not understand why. Never had this happen on the n2 forums. I thought your reply was just another one of those. So lets get that out of the way. I too apologize. We do have the same goal and I am just gathering as much info and asking when needed. Again, there is some conflicting info about whether this will work and what results there are. I too came across the thread about the modified mj2 bootloader. As I understand it. This seems to be the only safe way to get this phone unlocked and retain data. I am in the process of trying to download all the correct files I will need to do this. But, as I said earlier. I want to do as much reading as I can before I attempt it. My first step is reading more about how to back it all up first. This gets a little hairy as it requires software I am unfamiliar with. So, it will take a little time. Then there is the fact that this is not my phone. It is my sons. So I have to wait till he is willing to give it up for a while. God forgive I soft brick it or lose data. Because, then dad (me) will be buying another phone. Lol. Anyway, I appreciate you bringing up the modified MJ2. This helps confirm what I had read too. I am not ready to give up on this phone. It is a great device and the only thing keeping it from being perfect is unlock and root. Il post as much detail as possible. Again. Thanks. Ps..You familiar with philz recovery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
I haven't used philz recovery but I've read a lot of positive reviews about it. It's based on CWM but is really an advancement of it. Still on 4.3 MJB, afraid going to MJ2 once you have stock MJB is not an option. I tried it once and the result was quick - an instant hard brick (which I quickly recovered from) so I wouldn't advise you try this. You can flash the modified MJ2 ROM but not the bootloader which is apparently like the 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 so trying to go there from 4.3MJB is a downgrade attempt. The theory about the 4.1.1 radio is correct. Last week, I got an i747 with stock 4.0.4 ICS and flashed the 4.1.1 UCDLK3 modem only to it and the unlock worked. I also tried the same thing with another system running stock 4.1.2 JB and the result was the same. With 4.3 JB, however, it seems the only option for now is to get a carrier unlock code from the carrier or purchase one online.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Obtaining the unlock code from the carrier is fairly easy. Just tell them you are going out of the country. The hard part is finding a sim to insert to use the code.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xCAVEMANx:
I went on eBay and bought a used prepaid Spot Mobile SIM...and T-Mobile SIM will work too. Paid .99 for it.

There are a ton here...Obviously don't get one from your carrier or its subsidiaries...

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pckarma112:
Yes it is.

Have no intention of going anywhere near the boot loader...lol. The reason I mentioned philz is there is a option to backup the efs and modem partition separately. I don't know if that is available in cwm? But, with what I am planning to do. I want to have as much backup as possible. Personally, I think 4.3 stinks and I hate the fact there is no going back. I am not knocking those that like it. Some like it. Some don't. I was lucky with the n2 I purchased too. So glad that at&t was late with the ota and I got it while it was still on 4.1.2

If all goes well. I plan on spending Sunday at the PC trying to get this done. Here's hoping the flash gods are with me..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pckarma112:
Thank you

Thanks...good to know. After using on my n2 though. I think I will stick with it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] solfly7:
OK.. Have read through this thread and looks good. My question is will this restore a good efs file? I am trying to unlock phone with 'regionunlock away' but getting a message that it can't locate my CSC data. I am using slimkat-4.4.2-build.3-OFFICIAL with the latest stable DKP kernel. It was suggested to flash back to stock. I do not have a backup of efs.

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

I found this for backing up efs. If you look at the terminal emulator method, it gives the directory of the file. Mine is not in that specific location and shows 0.00b for the size. I assume that's a problem?

/dev/block/platform/msm_sbcc.1 is where mine is
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Hite-Site:
