After a certain firmware version that option becomes unavailable.

If you downgrade to below 4.1.1 the option will come back, you can unlock it, then upgrade back to 4.1.2 and it will keep the unlock.

Downgrade using Odin.

Yup. You may want to try to go to 4.0.4 because I don't remember the exact firmware version they stopped letting you do that but i'm almost 100% sure 4.1.1 will let you.


Just google "i747 4.1.1 stock rom odin"

No, that looks like an update package but I could be wrong without knowing the source or downloading the file itself.


The file should be large(>500MB) and end in .tar.

Manually update it with odin
Just fine the i747 4.3 update thats flashable with odin.

Sorry, misread what you said. But yes, just connect with wifi and you should be able to update OTA. If not, just do a manual update with odin.
