matrixzone, If you are on windows 8....If using Kies with Windows 8 operating systems,

please be advised that currently only Samsung Android OS and BADA OS based mobile devices are supported.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] arasarn:
The same thing happened to me.

You need "Kies 3" if the stock ROM you ODINed back to is android 4.3 or above. Using "Kies" with android 4.3 or above is what gets you the smart switch prompt.

Have you ODINed back to full stock 4.4.2 already?

Just to provide context, I did not even flash a custom recovery to my device until I heard that no future carrier based updates would be pushed. My bootloader and modem are from a 4.4.2 Rogers stock rom ending in "FNF2" I got that package from SamMobile and got ODIN from the sticky roll-up thread in this forum.

Update on my situation; I am getting a lock in GPS Test but still struggling with google maps. I did another factory/date wipe and a cache wipe via stock recovery and hope that this will help. I am getting somewhere at least finally.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] $avage$3:
Matrixzone, also, I ended up having to use Kies (1) (the original) and was prompted to install the unified driver for some reason, then when Kies started, it just sat at the "connecting" stage for a long minute, from there, before it was connected, I hit the "FIRMWARE UPGRADE AND INITIALIZATION" tab, from there I had to enter device model number,then the serial number,that is where you are prompted "The device can be initialised (thats how they spelled it,lol) to its original settings>>>>>>>>>etc." Do you want to proceed?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
If you are on AT&T's NJ1 firmware, it is impossible to Odin back to stock without bricking your phone, right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone:
Yes I am on 4.4.2. Wondering if using Kies will brick the phone. I am stuck after I click on initialization button. The prompt complain that i747 cannot be initialised.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdexic:
Did you get in to download mode?

What does the flash counter read?

Do have a valid IMEI?

Do have the latest drivers installed?

Maybe you can try on a different PC.

You can't brick your phone with kies. It will not downgrade your firmware. You can brick it with odin.

If your serial is valid (not reported lost or stolen), and your IMEI is valid, kies should restore your phone.

More information will help us help you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] arasarn:
So i spoke to soon. GPS test is connecting to like 5 or 6 satellites now but it isn't sticking and i still can't navigate with Google maps.

This after reinitializing with kies, factory wiping and cache and then doing the nvrebuild for umts through stock dialler. Anyone got any other ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gvsukids:
Phone isn't recognized by PC, is there something I can do?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] $avage$3:
When I was exploring kies, I for some reason had to download the unified drivers and I WAS NOT in download mode, phone was booted and on home screen and USB debugging on(maybe toggle USB debugging)

Kies will not brick your phone
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] manfromgta:
Actually the only hard brick I've ever encountered (knock on wood lol) was updating my original SI using kies ota factory update. Phone was replaced free of charge under warranty at that time. MB was fried. Kies development has likely come a long way since then but I never used it again. Hehe

I fixed my GPS lock issue!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201668

So simple. So elegant. I can't believe this was all I had to do. All I needed was a little elbow grease.

I odined back to stock and then Kies back to stock firmware, factory wiped, cache wiped. I needed to do this for the wireless reception issues I was getting but the GPS was all hardware.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vtails:
I didt use Odin I have an ATT S3 I downloaded Newman's ucufnj1.IMG and also the bootloader and modem file, don't bother with the recovery IMG as it is NE4. I flashed in recovery both files and rebooted it hung for a while so I did a vol up and down and power and when it turned off went right back to recovery and then reboot from there when it started back up it asked what backup I wanted to use, then it loaded back to stock 4.4.2. I didn't know if these will work on Cand, but I've reflashed my phone a few times now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
I think somewhere in that thread he said that the NE4 and NJ1 stock recoveries were the same. That was why he made available the one he already had, NE4.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vtails:
I was't sure of the difference of the files but I didn't want to brick phone so I just used my own backup and since then I get tried of some of the issues and go back stock. I've found the battery life stock is better. I have tryed using KIES but I can't seem to get it to connect to phone, I start by wiping my phone then put in D/L mode, I have Kies running and use Emergency recovery, I put all info in. It starts but never connects. I've left it running for hours. It be nice to hear from others on how they downgrade back to Stock, I think it would Help a lot of people.

wondering when another update for the D2MTR version will be out....?

current version im running is 04/06, cannot find an updated nightly that works on my phone!

Current running 04/06 as a DD and is working pretty good, force closes some apps, usually just open up again and works fine. Not greatest battery life but good rom! Could just be my **** battery lol.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] michaelcox:
I've been using the 4/28 build until this morning. Yesterday it started restarting randomly. It got worse and worse. This morning as soon as I would restart it and unlock the screen it would shut off again. After that it wanted to optimize all of my apps like it does when you install a new rom. I couldn't get it to do anything so I figured I'd update it to the newest official build (6/9). Factory reset, wiped both caches, flashed 6/9, flashed gapps, restarted phone. Now it will show the Samsung screen, then go the the Galaxy S III screen with the cat, then it goes blank. I figured something was wrong with the rom so I flashed 6/5, same thing. Then I flashed my trustee old 4/28 rom, same thing. I can't get it to load any rom! My recovery seems to be working fine, but no roms do. Any advice? Has my 3.5+ year phone finally kicked it? Thanks in advance.

P.S.

I don't think it is a stuck power button causing the problem. I had issues with it before, but not lately. And when I put the battery back in it doesn't automatically start.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Since you tried wiping Dalvik, makes me think one of the apps installed isn't playing nice when Dalvik/Art rebuilds. You can try doing Factory Reset before flashing. Otherwise Flash Stock back, make sure it behaves itself, then promptly flash Custom Recovery and either the last reliable version you had or your last nandroid.

Matrixzone has said he should be pushing updates pretty soon. In the meantime has anyone used BBS or something to see where your batt is going? Some statistics goes a long way. Ive ran LP since the beginning and I have never had the battery drain,GPS issues,Bluetooth Issues,etc. I flash a different Rom everyday and for the most part ON MY DEVICE, I seem to stay relatively the same. I use the very same Gapps for every Rom I flash and Gapps and wakelocks is most likely the culprit, not the 5.1 Roms.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] runawaybayeh:
$avage$3,are you a sgh-i747m. I am. I've been using quantum kernel with the last build, twist, instead of deathly kernel that matrix put up. I had issues with com.google.android.gms I think. It came up in alarm wakelocks in BBS with thousands of wakes per hour . So I turned off wake up and keep awake in privacy guard. Since then battery life has been a bit better. I think, I'm not all that scientific, is my perception.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] StarkCity:
I don't disagree with you at all. Further more I'm not on this build, I'm currently on cm nightlies and have had that same drain. I have been tracking usage, but can't identity what's discharging the battery in my case. I'm using this device on WiFi only, no sim installed. The only way I can retain good battery life is in airplane mode. I've already messed with all settings pertaining to WiFi and data, I just can't get the situation under control. Just posting for informative purposes.

i747 d2att i tested brett rogers shift 4.0 for him, but other than that have always used whatever kernel the Rom came with. Deathy kernel was also in BrokenOs and seems to run good for me on Both this CM12.1 and Broken. Just a quick question, why do you feel the need to use Quantum Kernel? Just flash Matrixzones latest build and these https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934548914 Gapps, stick with deathly kernel and see if it helps
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] runawaybayeh:
I had used quantum kitkat for a long time before I moved to full carbon. When I moved to L,courtesy of Matrixs build(thanks Matrix) because carbon didnt have L for our phone, I was happy, and moved along with those unofficial nightlies of Matrixs. Then Matrix stopped and CM started official nightlys.I left CM and moved over to Twist. I noted Quantum kernel updated to L and thought I would give it a shot as it didnt seem to be all that diff from what I was experiencing with Twist and Deathly. Quantum also seemed to offer more tweakability options,like a choice of governers etc if wanted with trickstermod.

Ive been sticking with the same gapps,recomended by Matrix since I started with Matrix before twist was announced. id renamed them "new Gapps" so I cant even remember what ,which,or whose they were.

I will certainly try Matrixs latest and the gapps you mentioned. As Ive been having some other issues,such as messenger/messaging screw ups .

Thanks for the info. Ill let you know how it goes.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
I suspect you will need to update your bootloader and modem to fix the issue. Before doing that you may wish to use the free unlock method in the forums to carrier unlock your phone. You may never need the carrier unlock, but it never hurts to keep as many options as possible available. Once you do that you would need to sequentially update your bootloader and modem until you are on the NE4 version for this to work. You could go with all of the updates and reach NJ1 if you desire. The simplest way may be to flash to stock and then take the OTA updates. You may also be best served by doing an NVBackup before you begin all of the OTA updates. Once you reach NE4, flash a custom recovery, flash SuperSu from the recovery to root, and then flash this ROM.
