You could of went to the android sub forums and searched. You don't need to unroot your phone. Just flash which everyone you choose.

I also have tried custom ROMS and now back in Stock ROM
If you have ROM Manager installed, then you can easily recover your original stock rom (remain rooted). But this is the case where you already made a Nandroid Back up before flashing Custom ROM.
If you cannot go that way, You can try flashing the full stock ROM (RUU Files, not PC10IMG). I never tried this, but what I understand from the threads I read, It will unroot your device. You might have to re-root again later (if you want to)
Cheers..

Ha ironically I recently made the same move. Rooted/stock, got tired of the little annoyances. Vanilla wins for me right now.

Ditto that. Too many issues with either CM7 or HTC Sense based ROMs. I really enjoyed using Virtuous for a long time, but having random hard reboots in version 1.0.2 pushed me away from it and back to stock (with root). Everything works, and that's what is most important to me.

[Q] How to go back to stock?

So i got my cousin to flash my phone(i had no idea how to do that) with the HTC sence rom (Virtuous v0.7.0) (vision) how do i go back to stock? i love HTC sence but i cant connect to hspa+ and we have a strong signal here my brother and sister in law both a g2 and constantly get mind blowing speeds and to add the tower is 2 blocks down my street!! so i don't have crappy coverage.
could someone give me a step by step instruction on how to go back to stock?
oh and my phones perm rooted if that helps any .
Did you do a backup of your ROM via Clockwork before you flashed the new ROM ? If so, you can simply restore that.
If you don't have a backup, then what ROM do you want to go back to exactly ? There are loads of stock ROMs for G2/Desire Z.
I don't think so. And is their Any rom that is 100% true stock?

Here's a link to G2 stock OTA thread:

I think you want the OTA odex version.

That's not a stock ROM though, that's a custom ROM based on stock.
If you really want to go back to stock, the pre-OTA stock G2 ROM is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788489 . But you will need to go through the hex-editor procedures to downgrade, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831398

[Q]flashing back to stock rom?

I'll get my phone back from motorola after having the speaker problem soon. Also i was quite happy when i looked around the defy section and found out that there are so many 2.2 roms. So now i have this question.
1. I'm not familiar with nandroid back and all that. So if someone can give me some explaination of how it works and what i need to do to have a backup of my rom so i can flash back to orignal one whenever i want?
2. Also i heard from people that some ROMs are not flashable or you can't get back to stock rom (recovery), if so then how you know that certain rom isn't flashable
3. Is there a difference between recoving (flashing stock rom) and downgrading?
Thanks !
No one actually knows what flashing is? recovery....i'm surprised...do answer please if you know anything

[Q] Original ROM?

Okay, well I tried getting a friend into rooting and Custom Roms, but It seems as though he would rather just have the original stock rom. So basically the way the phone comes out of the box. Unfortunatley he lost the SD card with the back-up soooo? Does anybody know where I can find the Stock Rom so I can flash it? Thank :s
Just give him like Sprint lovers or Fresh and he won't know the difference

ROM flashing. Please help

My wife has a E4GT which I rooted installed cmw and a stock rooted rom about a little more than a year ago. Anyways the current rom is having some issues and I want to switch ROMs for her. I remember this phone was a bit of a pain to flash and that I had to use mobile Odin and flash back to an older rom before flashing new.
Can someone please give me some direction to flashing ROMs on this phone....ie which modem to flash back to? I'm Odin or cmw? In what order.
Thanks in advance I really don't feel like bricking her phone. Lol

Bricked... Which rom to recover

So I need some advice on which ROM to flash back on my phone. I am new to custom ROMs and managed to hard brick my phone. I am going to try a Jig to see if I can get into download mode, however, if I do that I am not sure what ROM to flash back onto my phone. It's a galaxy S3 i747. When this all started I was running JB 4.1.1 on it. Then I flashed CM10 and that went great. After I flashed CM10 my phone said that I was on JB 4.3. Did CM update JB and the bootloader? I know that trying to flash an older bootloader can cause troubles. Afater I had CM running I tried to flash LeanKernel and this is when I bricked my phone. So my questions is, do I need to flash the ROM for JB4.1.1 or for JB 4.3? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Look buddy, the first thing you want to do is flash the latest STOCK rom for you're model. After you've done that you can now backup you're stock rom via recovery (TWRP recommended), after that you now have a stable rom to return to just in case you fail to flash a custom rom. And I would recommend one of the stock mod roms to get the use of all of Samsung's exclusive features. Good luck, and feel free to ask any more questions.

Hey thanks. I really appreciate the help. I got in a little over my head so I'm just trying to get ahead of the learning curve as quick as possible. Now I've searched around for the stock 4.3 flash able ROM and am having trouble finding a clear cut download for it. Do you have a recommendation of where I can find the JB 4.3 stock to flash with ODIN?

There isn't an odin flashable 4.3 rom for i747. The last thing there is is 4.1.1 then the 4.3 you would take as an ota. I highly doubt cm updated your bootloader. Floating around the forums is an sd unbrick method. You could try that. I don't have experience with it, but quite a few people have. Good luck.

Maybe this would work : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498233 Do some research on it first then let me know. And if you want a good and stable custom rom I recommend using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504903. Just don't choose the note 3 option, choose the stock.

This is the rom I used to root it a year ago when I got the phone. Would this be a suitable choice to un-brick my phone?

That is only a method used to root you're phone, not to unbrick it.

But to root I flashed a ROM with Odin. The ROM is linked on that page. At least that is my understanding of how rooting works. Wouldn't that've a good ROM to use to un-brick?
Have you ever updated your phone to 4.3?

Not entirely sure. Never updated to 4.3 on a stock ROM. It was on JB 4.1 before I flashed CM10. However once I flashed CM10 the settings page said my phone was on JB 4.3. So not sure if the bootloader got updated or not.
Thanks so much everyone for the help. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately the Jig did not work, so it is all a moot point in the end. Looks like the phone is going off to get JTAGed.
