[ROM/RESTORE] [AT&T/ROGERS/TELUS/BELL]Return to UNROOTED STOCK WITH FLASH COUNT RESET

IF YOU HAVE TAKEN THE OTA TO STOCK TW 4.3 DO NOT USE THIS!! IT WILL CAUSE A HARD BRICK!!
I'll try to keep this simple.
So here it goes, short but sweet...
This is a Single recovery flashed file restore to UNROOTED STOCK with STOCK KERNEL, STOCK RECOVERY, MODEM, and Normal System Status with a Flash Counter at 0. Basically a replacement for the odin tar method for a quick on-the-go restore. This is the go-to file for a last minute trip to the at&t store or for unbricking without the need for a pc or ODIN. Plan on selling to buy something newer? Flash this to restore your s3 to an out of the box ota-ready state for the buyer. This will do what odin does with the addition of resetting the flash count during flash. This WILL NOT touch internal storage!
To keep a custom recovery flash one from below after rom flash before rebooting into the system.
To keep root access flash this after install BEFORE rebooting into system.

As with just about any rom you'll find posted on these forums, wipe data/factory reset prior to flashing and FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK as I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone.
Special thanks to @mrksbrd for helping me bring this to the AT&T variant, @Turbojugend for helping me bring this to BELL, @FabC87 for helping me bring this to TELUS, @gutlessmerc for helping me bring this to the 32gb ROGERS variant and @tobesedated for helping me bring it to the 16gb ROGERS variant.
** These zips contain full firmware flashing. Checking the MD5 is highly recommended
FOR THE AT&T/ROGERS/BELL/TELUS S3 (SGH-I747/I747M) ONLY!

AS SAID IN THE WARNING ABOVE YOU MUST FLASH THE RESTORE THAT IS THE SAME AS YOUR STORAGE CAPACITY. UNLESS YOUR DEVICE IS LISTED IN THE SECOND POST, THERE IS ONLY A 16GB VERSION AVAILABLE. FLASHING IT ON A 32GB OR 64GB DEVICE WILL BRICK IT!
PM me if you own a 32gb or 64gb and are interested in helping me bring this to those devices.


Flash one of these to keep a custom recovery

Flash to keep root

STILL CONFUSED?
THANKS TO @wwjoshdew for the awesome vid!

IF I FORGOT ANYTHING OR YOU NEED MORE INFO YOU CAN PROBABLY FIND IT HERE. PLEASE SEARCH BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS

I'm afraid you need a PC. You don't actually have to be rooted you only need a custom recovery. You also need a PC to do that tho.

Great effort on this method anyways thanks for the help i keep my hopes up on you guys wating for that miracle way to root my useless no data sync gs3 without a computer Thanks

I would assume you speaking of the micro end and not the USB port on the computer side? If that's the case will ODIN recognize a com port while in download mode? If your able to do that you will be able to flash a insecure boot image thus allowing ADB commands or use the toolbox in this forum to flash a recovery script. Of your able to do any of these we can get you going again.

yes the mini port of my phone ive tried that in download mode no luck but i will try again and get back, how come is impossible to root my gs3 i747 without computer or Odin when you can find lots of ways with older phones and other versions of gs3? i am about to give a reward for a dev to make it happend!! :))

    Another awesome job bro, works like a charm. Way better than using ODIN with the added benefit of resetting the flash counter

    Couldn't have done it without your assistance. Thanks again

    Is there anyway to check what carrier the phone was originally purchased from? Or can all 3 of the Canadian s3's be interchanged like if I had a bell device and restored the rogers ROM. I am wondering this because I bought a phone from kijiji and am not sure where its from
    If you're unsure then I recommend using Odin instead. I know the 747M models are all the same but since they all have they're own Odin tar files, they must be different somewhere. And if you attempt to flash a Odin tar for a different phone than you have, it will fail as a safety feature to prevent a brick. This on the other hand will not. Better safe than sorry. I would hate to see a brick happen

    EDIT: As said above, odin won't let you flash the wrong firmware to your device. So HERE is the ROGERS S3 firmware(Load in PDA slot of odin). It will only take a few seconds to flash this. If it succeeds, then your phone must be rogers. If it fails, then you know not to use this.
