With JOdin3 Casual on my Mac, it works until the “Added” message ; above that is a red “Disconnected” message (under ID:COM) and nothing happens. What should I do ? Thanks!

Great article – thanks very much. All worked perfectly. Extremely difficult to get hold off the Stock Firmware… I only managed after several attempts from various websites and don’t even know which one it was now. Tip: try to right click and select on “save link as” instead of clicking on download – as those hyperlinks will redirect you to subscription based websites!
Thank you !
it works
Hello ! How come my Galaxy S 3 I bought online doesn’t support any Google? Did they do something when they reset it . please help I like the phone.I’m using a cheap one right now… Thanks
My suggestion is to contact with them from where you bought the phone and let them fix this issue or ask for a replacement.
Hi, I have Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i747 AT&T unlocked with this rebooting issue: appears samsung galaxy SIII logo for a few seconds and then restart and appears samsung logo with little blue words “recovery booting” left upper corner and restart again and again and again, the “loop”. This happens when pressing the power button. I check and removed the power piece to make sure power button is not pressed. The mode volume up+power+home is not working, I tried 20 times to enter that menu but only got the loop. The odin mode volume down+power+home is working, so I follow this instruction (2 times) to flash the phone and reload the software but I got this error message after phone connected or added (in COM 3 or COM 4), here I copy all the log messages: Enter CS for MD5..
Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
Please wait..
I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
Leave CS..

What I did:
I downloaded the odin software (Odin3 v3.10.6 with dlls).
I downloaded the MD5 for SGH-i747 AT&T (2 files dll and md5).
Run the Odin and in AP selected the MD5 and plug the phone, see that it has been added and start the process without checking the re-partition. End.
I see the writing process can be done, I do not know why. My phone odin screen shows:
Product name: SGH-i747
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System status: Official
Dualcomm secureboot: Enable
Downloading…
Do not turn off target!!
What can I do to come back to life my smartphone again?
I appreciate your time and help.
this might be completely unrelated but my rooted stock s3 (with Rogers) had constant reboot issues before I tried any rooting
Error: odin downloader stopped working! what to do, plz help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no MD 5 File in the link provided!
That is correct.
I hunted for S3 atnt and got to the page and only had an unlock code to un-lock my already unlocked phone.
NO MD 5, just linked SCH-i747 and At&T and the some unlock code.
I tried on Ice Dragon and FF but no link.
We must have got here to late?

Thank you so much. My only problem was Odin 3.09 kept setting off my virus protection. I used Odin 3.07 and it worked fine on my Sprint Samsung S3.
That is normal, it is not a virus. Use a different Browser or download it from here http://odindownload.com/
That download site does have a virus in the 3.09 file. The “severe weather alert” malware is in the file. Avoid it folks.
Thanks for pointing that out Woopsie, The Severe Weather alert file is only added to the installation upon the prior software that you agreed to install , like “YT Downloader, etc. However, i have changed the Odin 3.09 link to -https://www.dropbox.com/s/hi1jpv0oscwnoe8/Odin-v3-09.zip
Anyways thanks for being observant
