So today I finally decided to root my GS3 that I never took any OTA updates on.
I'm on 4.0.4 rooted and unlocked bootloader using:
[GUIDE][VZW Edition]How to root your Galaxy SIII & More!(ROMs/CWM/Stock)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
I stopped at section 3.
When reading around the forums about getting a ROM with the latest OTA onto my phone and keeping root it seemed confusing.
For now I just want an updated stock ROM. How do I do this? Which is the right thread for me to follow?
( I was considering this Stock rooted VRBMB1 4.1.2- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2178482 )
Thanks!

The link in your post doesn't work, but the thread no. 2178482 is the same as what I used to go to 4.1.2. You may also want to grab the 4.1.2 modem and rpm from post #3.

Thanks, I'll try to fix those links soon. Are you saying all I need to do is flash that 4.1.2 rom?

I just downloaded the newest Samsung Galaxy S3 update for verizon and now my 4G signal is weak. I wanted to downgrade the software to Official VRBMB1 4.1.2. I cannot seem to find a link for this file. Can someone provide it for me?

You'll find what you need in a thread by Open1your1eyes0 in the dev section with "No-Wipe Jelly Bean Factory Images ***Final Update: 6/1/13" in the title.
Edit: or are you just trying to downgrade the modem/baseband?

Thank you so much! It's exactly what I was looking for
Hi Guys, I have read some topics about downgrading, but im not fully understanding if this is only for people who is already rooted or if this will work for a non rooted device. In my case i have an At&t Lg G2 not rooted with 4.4.2 kitkat and wanted to revert to 4.2 so i can root and then flash a rooted stock 4.4.2 kitkat. Is it possible to do that, even if i was never rooted? I do understand there's no root for kitkat as of now.
Thanks guys.
Well since we use the lg flash tool I don't think it should be an issue so go ahead the last time I went back to stock was when the kk rom with root and recovery came out so I'm sure you should be able to

Yes you can flash back to 4.2 with Flash Tool. If you root 4.2 and then take the AT&T update to kitkat you will keep root. This is what I did.
How about a D802? its on the official vodafone kitkat rom, with the upgraded bootloader. Loki does not work on kitkat. Is it still downgradeable to any version of jelly bean?

I did it myself earlier due to bluetooth battery drain on kitkat. Just go to the thread Return to Stock LG G2 and follow the instructions listed. You'll have to download the tot file (ROM), the flash tools and flash dll. Just follow those instructions to the letter and you'll be on 4.2.2 in no time.

Alright thanks. I just wanted to know if there were problems with the bootloader as I also have an at&t s4, which prevents the bootloader from being downgraded and bricks the device if its done.

Hi Guys,
I was told to post my question in Q/A section (apologies for not RTFM). I was also told that I need to go back down to ML1 to get root on the device. Given I've updated to NC1, how do I go back down? Does anyone have a working ML1 stock ROM that I can flash via Odin? A link or reference would be much appreciated!
Thanks,

modem link not working 2nd link ive found that wont download help?
invisiblek said:
No, I do not have a full I535VRUCML1 firmware package for you.
Yes, I somewhat lied in the title of this thread. But I did it for a good reason: to get your attention.
Mods - I'm sure you'll understand.
You should NOT flash the I535VRUCML1 firmware (or any subsequent releases for that matter). You will brick. This is what vzw/samsung did on the first OTA for the Galaxy S4. They changed the keys they sign the firmware with. This prevents us from 'mis-matching' our firmware like we've been doing all along. We've been leaving aboot (VRUAME6, the african-canadian sock-monkey leaked bootloader) alone and updating everything else. Since they're signing with different keys now, doing this will brick your device. If you update the ENTIRE bootchain (including aboot) you shouldn't brick, but will be stuck with a locked bootloader and any attempt to downgrade (via dd, etc) will brick you as well. Even if you manage to flash an ENTIRE old bootchain over VRUCML1, you'll brick because they trip a qfuse that prevents it from working. More info about qfuse by djrbliss here: http://t.co/myb0LIrN6e
Just stick with VRUBMF1, trust me.
These firmware updates have, up until now, consisted of several partitions that we update:
- tz (trustzone)
- rpm (resource/power management)
- sbl[1,2,3] (secure bootloaders)
- NON-HLOS (modem/baseband)
Due to the way Samsung and Verizon have chosen to proceed with future updates (following what they do for the Galaxy S4) we cannot flash all these partitions anymore (see above) and retain our unlocked bootloader. We CAN, however, update the baseband as it's not signed.
My recommendation: if you aren't already on MF1 firmware (below), flash that. Then update your baseband with this: http://invisiblek.org/sch-i535/modems/d2vzw_ML1_modem.zip

Flash d2vzw_VRBMF1_firmware.zip over I535VRUCML1?
I am on CleanRom 8.2 with Baseband I535VRUCML1. When I updated to this from CR 6.2 my phone reception took a hit - I'm in mountainous outlying areas, so I notice right away areas that drop calls that didn't before.
I'd like to try a different modem but am confused which files are safe to flash. The only valid links I've found is invisiblek's at .../firmware/d2/. Can I flash d2vzw_VRBMF1_firmware.zip to try the MF1 modem without bricking? If I try it and want to get back to ML1, would the d2vzw_ML1_modem.zip get me there? The difference between "firmware" and "modem" in the file names worry me -as well as the d2 in the name - Are the d2 files also for the I535 Verizon models?
Other options? I also see a d2vzw_NE1.zip. I haven't read anything about an NE1 modem. Thanks for your help.
Hey,
New to xda-developers, so I apologize in advance if this post is in the wrong place. I am looking to upgrade my modem (I think I'm on the MF1 currently, and I'm having GPS issues). The link on the first page to the ML1 modem is broken for me, and I was wondering if anyone could link me to a copy of the ML1 and/or any of the newer ones. The only other ML1 modem I've found so far (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591895) fails the zip signature verification when I try to flash it, and I'm hesitant to skip the zip verification to try to flash (it matches the md5 from the download page I got if from, however).
Thanks in advance.

I think I have it all sorted out. I ended up reverting to an earlier snapshot of CM11 and my GPS seems to be working again. Thanks for offering, though.
Need ML1 modem
I'm currently running CleanROM 7 with the MF1 modem. I've tinkered with too much and need to reinstall. I'd like to try Alliance or another 4.3 ROM, but I need the ML1 modem to do so. The link to the ML1 at invisiblek's site hasn't worked for some time. Does anyone have a zip of the ML1 modem that I can install via TWRP?
Thanks.

Only goes up to 4.2.2, existence is pain
Is there anyway to go up to at least 4.3 or 4.4 ?
This is the international S4 forum, so information and support for your S4 will be limited here. Read through the threads in the AT&T S4 forums, which you can access from the thread I linked to. There should be a thread there with the Android version you seek.

If you ever plan on using custom ROMs on it, then don't update.
Updating may make it impossible for you to root or flash anything other than Samsung firmwares on it.
You can try custom ROMs. Pokémon Go works fine on them too.
