Trying to flash from 4.1.1 and Failed

Hello everyone.

I try yesterday this upgrade to my GF's S3.

I never touch her phone (but she owned from ebay and we live in Paraguay) thats why her OS was (or is) 4.1.1. (att. "image1-before.jpg") I747UCDLK3 -

Well, first of all, I allready read the 26 pages of the thrend.

Then I follewed the steps 1,2 and 3 without problems, then, at the 4th. step, Odin gave me an error (for stupid, I didn't screenshot it) but don't install the I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar

So I stopped at that point, and the result was, that the OS still on 4.1.1 but the baseband now is I747UCUEMJB (att.image2-after.jpg).

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!!

If kies is on your computer, uninstall and try flashing with Odin again. If it fails again copy the text from Odins message box to your next post.

Thst means the file is corrupted. Download again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] QuantumRequiem:
Thank you so much for this! Instructions were straight forward and I had no problems upgrading from a custom 4.3 ROM.

My only question is with regard to the download mode screen. I know it's not possible to revert the Warranty Bit back to zero, but how about the Current Binary and System Status? Is there a way to get them back to "Official"? Looking to sell my device and want to get it as close to stock as possible.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
The best way would probably be something like this:

Flash enewman17's stock odexed rom.

Run triangle away

Install stock recovery via terminal emulator

Choose full unroot from SuperSU.

Reboot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] emeaesece:
DONE

Thanks for your help! It worked to upgrade to KK!!.

Actually, have another question. At the 7th step, I flashed the SU but it failed.

Is not big problem, but it wouldn't give me problems with another upgrade, right?

THANKS AGAIN.

I'm really greatful!

:good: :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
If you mean a future OTA, it might i interfere. Depends on how/why it failed. But another OTA is very unlikely unless they find a major bug or security flaw they want to patch.

If youd still like to root i suggest taking a look at Towelroot. Doesnt get any easier!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] icactusdog:
Hi,

I tried using the steps here, and all seemed to be going well until I finished up and now the phone won' boot past the Samsung Galaxy SIII logo screen. My phone did say the bootloader version was i747ucufne4, so I don't know if that changes anything. The phone boots into recovery and download still, but like I said, it only goes to the Galaxy SIII logo.

I'd really appreciate any help here.

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Try factory resetting. If you flash twrp/cwm first it won't wipe internal sd. If the reset doesn't work, go to enewman17's thread in development and flash one of his stock roms.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] icactusdog:
It worked! Thank you so much!

Do you think it's safe to try and root and go back to CM11 through cminstaller? Because last time I did that My phone got messed up and started rebooting itself every 20-30 minutes or so.

Thanks again!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
I don't use cm so I can't give you advice on flashing it. But anytime you change between TW and non-TW ROMs you have to factory reset.

But I don't see any reason you couldn't go back to cm.

The same with me, i got same error, refused to boot. I did a restore of my nandroid backup, unfortunately my baseband has sticked to UCUFNE4 on UCUEMJB :( wifi, tethering, and host of others are no longer working :crying:

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

I did everything to the Step 8, to obey all commands, i had to flash twrp 2.6.3.1 upon i had 2.7.0.0, it gives error

E: Unknown command [install error]

when i did a restore, it stick to ucufne4 baseband, with ucuemjb firmware, wifi, download, hotspot r no longer working, my phone is now a log of wood :( :o :crying:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
Well I'm not sure what you did but you can flash the attached. It is the full NE4 Firmware. This will restore your bootloaders and modem. I don't know how you have the mismatched firmware without having a brick. But this file was meant for flashing from a hard brick to restore bootloaders but will work all the same. Just flash it in a custom recovery.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Restoring from a nandroid won't touch the base firmware (bootloaders, modem, etc). Only system, data and kernel.

SGH I747 on 4.1.1

hey , my baseband version is I747UCDLK3 , can this thread work for me ? my phone is on 4.1.1 official firmware ( it's rooted)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Undergrounded:
Hard bricked

So after reading through this thread I saw a post where a user simply flashed the modified OTA using TWRP and able to update just fine. So I decided to follow suit (I, just like that user, was on rooted stock 4.3 with MJB bootloaders)...the update failed with a lot of errors and now I have ended up with a hard bricked phone. I've gone through DocHoliday77's debrick thread @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2549068 but haven't been able to bring it back to life even after using 3 different debrick images. Should I be using 4.3 debrick images or 4.4.2? Also any links to 4.4.2 debrick images available? Sorry for posting it here but I just don't want people to simply flash the modified update if they're rooted stock 4.3 just because it worked for a couple of people.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stormdude124:
Please PLEASE be careful when doing this, I was really lucky,and

Flashed 4.3 stock restore zip in recovery(also to mention when I bought the phone it was already) 4.3 (that's why I simply flashed the ota and it worked), before flashing 4.4.2

If the update failed try the 4.3 IMG
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Undergrounded:
Sorry, didn't want to point any fingers; the stupidity was on my part. I've done rooting and updating my phone through 4.1 and 4.2 in the past so that might be the reason why my system didn't behave like a clean one like yours. I've been trying 4.3 images but no luck, so was wondering if this is because my bootloaders have upgraded but not the OS itself (I'm not that well-versed in these terms). AT&T's support center couldn't re-flash the OS on it and Samsung is also using the "1-year warranty is over" lines so trying to see if I could fix it myself :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stormdude124:
That's okay I understand how it feels the first day I got my phone I soft bricked it and freaked out but I fixed it! :)

What size micro SD are you using?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Undergrounded:
I'm using a Sandisk 32GB Ultra HC1. I've also tried a 16GB G-Skill Class 10 but didn't make a difference. The only light I see is the red light when I plug the cable in while the battery is out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stormdude124:
Okay so don't worry it can most likely be fixed :) I'm. Sure [MENTION=1064124]docholliday[/MENTION] can help you!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Undergrounded:
Thanks a lot for the kind words :) [MENTION=222916]doc[/MENTION], I'll appreciate your help on this one :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
this should work for you, just follow the instructions exactly.

since.youre making a pretty large jump in versions, you will most likely have to factory reset as well.

You probably need to be using the 4.4.2 debrick.img. ive seen one recent confirmation that a 256mb one from enewman17 worked for someone.

If the ota appeared to partially run, and failed at something like 29%, it most likely successfully updated your base firmware to 4.4.2, hence the need for that debrick.img. Even if it left you on 4.3, the newer image should work, if it will at all of course.

What worries me is theres no way to know if it updated your modem, but failed before updating the bootloader. If this happened there will be no way to fix it im afraid.

One thing I noticed though, is you mentioned trying with a g skill sd card. If im not mistaken thats not really one of the better/more reliable brands. Nor is sandisk imo (ive seen sandisk work, and ive seen them fail for this purpose). Id try on both again with the image I mentioned above, but if they still dont work see if you can borrow another to try.

Ive seen cheap class 4 cards work where name brand class 10s have failed though, so there just no guarantee. But chances of success are greater with the better quality, higher class cards though.

Let me know if you cant find that img I mentioned. I think someone linked to it in the last few pages of the debrick thread though.

Hope that helps! And Good Luck!

Oh, if you have more questions, go ahead and post in the debrick thread. We dont want to derail this one any more.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Undergrounded:
Perfect! Thanks so much Doc! I'll try to find the 4.4.2 image in that thread and follow-up there :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Undergrounded:
Thanks [MENTION=2972841]enewman17[/MENTION]. I actually already have the link to your files bookmarked after you posted these but the problem is that I don't know which one is the 4.4.2 debrick image :( I see a debrick, debrick256 and debrick512 but can't figure out which one is for 4.4.2. I assume these are all 4.3 debrick images? Sorry about my lack of knowledge here...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stormdude124:
Its most likely file size.They said they've seen the 256mb version work
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Undergrounded:
Ohhh...I see. So these debrick images are based on a certain Android version i.e. 4.3 vs 4.4.2, right? As DocHoliday said I'll have to use 4.4.2 debrick image. Aren't these 3 debrick images based off of 4.3? Please correct me if these have nothing to do with Android version and if I should simply try these regardless of how I bricked my phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stormdude124:
Okay basically this installs android onto your SD card and your phone realizes, hey there's there's no OS on internal I'll check external(for people in the future) and I'm sure the link he gave you is 4.4.2, if it doesn't work simply try another file ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
They are all 4.4.2 debrick images. The size is relative to how much of my phones partitions were copied. The first 70 MB theoretically should be enough to boot the phone as it would contain the bootloaders and the modem.

The 128mb file should be all you need. Just don't give up right away, like doc said try as many cards as possible. Writing the card with Linux would be ideal but the windows app works to but might take a few tries.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Undergrounded:
Thanks for the confirmation that these are all 4.4.2 and for the explanation. Now I understand why so many partitions were created when I was writing these to the SD card, especially with the main one always being around 60MB. I'll try other SD cards too and see if I could get my hands on a linux machine to create these. Looks like Sandisk is a no go for now...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] icactusdog:
So I'm on [MENTION=2972841]enewman17[/MENTION]'s 4.3 stock rom and my phone keeps rebooting itself every 20-30 minutes or so. When it attempts to reboot however, it begins to go into a reboot loop and eventually gets stuck at the Samsung Galaxy SIII logo screen. Any Idea as to why this is happening?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Next time it happens, pull battery and put it back in. If it tries to turn on by itself its a bad power switch.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] icactusdog:
It stays off when I replace the battery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
What is your base firmware/boot loader version? Try reflashing the full stock firmware via Odin and factory reset.

Backup data first of course, and try to make sure the device isn't rebooting in download mode before you flash. You don't want that to happen mid flash.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] icactusdog:
So here is the (I think) relevant information from my phone:

Android Version: 4.3

Baseband: I747UCUFNE4

Kernel: 3.0.31-2024954

Build #: S3Rx.I747UCUEMJB

I have samsung Kies installed and it says I can restore the firmware to Android 4.1.1 and Baseband I747UCDLK3. But if I'm not mistaken, downgrading will brick my device, so I'm wary to do so.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
You are not mistaken. Hopefully kies would be smart enough to block the downgrade if you tried. But I don't like or trust kies personally...

You are running 4.4.2 firmware so there I'd no Odin flashable package for that.

I'd try a factory reset and flash the stock NE4 ROM from enewman17.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] icactusdog:
I attempted to install it and it says that the installation was aborted due to an error. (E: error in /storage/sdcard1/samsung_sgh-i747_4.4.2_OTA_update.zip (Status 7))

I don't know what to do since I did a factory reset and it didn't work.

The random resetting is also getting worse, with it occurring every 15 or so minutes now. So I don't know what to do about that either. It didn't reset while I had it in recovery mode either

Further problems I've noticed: WiFi doesn't work, it switches on, then turns back off. Contacts won't sync with google contacts.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
The factory reset didn't work? Did it give an error?

Try flashing again but copy the log to SD and attach it here.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] icactusdog:
Here is the log file:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mishra007in:
Hard Brick the phone during installation process

Before you do anything, install Terminal Emulator from the store and enter this:

getprop ro.bootloader

This will tell you your current bootloader/base firmware version. If it does say you have MJB and you are running completely stock, you should be ok to just flash the OTA from TWRP.

If it tells you the version is NE4, don't do anything and let us know. (Its possible part of the update was applied. This is why I'm recommending you check using the above command first.)

And in case you have not seen it yet, DO NOT try to flash older firmware than what you currently have or it'll hard brick! Only the same or newer builds are safe. (Old roms and kernels are ok, its just the firmware you need to be aware of)

I did't checked my bootloader and went for installation 4.3 via odin. The whole procedure went smooth via odin but as my phone did re-boot after completion of instalation process my phone (SGH - I 747) has gone hard brick....

I have now Idea how to de-brick the same. Can any one guide me the procedures for De-Bricking my S III..

I did this a few weeks ago successfully, however, I've recently installed some software from my work (for email, calendar, tasks, etc) and it will not work because the device is "rooted". Now I was rooted at one point to delete some bloat, but I fully removed root via SuperSU, and I'm still getting errors from my work app. At this point, I think it is because I have TWRP as my recovery, how do I go about re-installing stock recovery, I thought I'd get it back after un-rooting, but apparently not...
