Hi, I have the sgh-i747 and it is soft bricked. I can get into download mode but when I turn the phone on regular mode it says (Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again. Any suggestions on getting this phone working again on stock 4.3 Thanks.
Im trying this now.. I managed to get twrp back so I at least have some recovery. How do I flash this mdf file do I just use oden and clikc the pda button? Also twrp sais no os installed does that mean there is no os and I can go back to 4.1.1 and upgrade to 4.3?
First you can't go back to 4.1.1 if you were on official 4.3 you will hard brick the stock mjb is located here, http://www.samsung-file.com/index.php?dir=/Model_I/I747_(SGH-I747)/I747_Firmware/I747_Android_4.3 after d/l you should be able to flash it with Odin, I use 3.07, only because I am more familiar with that version, but should restore you back to stock, when I have had to recover in the past I usually have Odin reformat during flash, then it boatloads and I go into recovery and reset, then it boots fine

Like I just said just flashing the one file will not work, the files at the location I gave you are separated so you need to download each of them and put them in their respective place Odin 3.09, I wasn't aware that this site set the downloads up for use with 3.0.9, so follow the link download the other 4 files and put them into their respective place in 3.0.9 and reflashing, then if you get bootloops turn off phone restart (volume up, home and power) gets you to recovery wipe data and cache and then restart and u should be fine

OK, How do I know where each file goes and can you post link to files again please so I make sure I get the right stuff. I just got 3.09
I'm not sure exactly how to do this. all the files say the same thing but the end of the file has 001-010 and the file type is 001-010. Do I flash 001 with bl then 002 with ap then 003 with cp and just keep going down the list?
Look at the first 2 letters of the file on the download site it tells you where to put them, AP goes under ap in 3.0.9, CSC goes in CSC slot, BL goes in BL slot, CP goes in cup slot and the last file is the pit file and goes in the pit section, then flash the file and it should reboot when finished, if it boot loops then disconnect, hold Power button till it shuts down remove battery reinstall battery hold volume up and home press power button boots to recovery, in recovery wipe data and cache then reboot

I don't want to be rude, but if that is to difficult to understand you may not want to be messing with root or other mods, I would spend some time researching so that you understand the modifications you are making it will make things easier

Im trying it again with a different cable I think the other cable might of been bad, How long should it take for it to flash all of the files?
It doesn't happen quickly. If I recall correctly, it took 12 minutes once for me to flash back to stock with just the PDA file.
ahh the s3 is back to life. thank you very much. The first problem was the other cable was bad I swapped cables with a new one and the flash worked. everything looks perfect
I checked that site and I would not be paying go here and you can get Odin tar file to flash in 3.0.7 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
