Is there a stock rom image or something? I see a stock kernel, but is there a way to go full stock when it first came from sprint?
Not yet, so if you root with CWM make sure to back it up before you start changing things.
So I did make a backup... do I just restore that backup and all iis set along with flashing stock kernel? Or should the backup do all that for me?
The backup will bring you back to the state you where at at the time of the backup. If that was stock other than the kernel then you just have to flash the stock kernel and you will be back to stock.

Can't Find Sprint Stock Flash Program -again
A while back I had to flash my phone back to stock. Sprint had a program that was NOT odin. I am on holiday and the new gingerbread has seriously screwed up my phone. It does not work correctly and the battery drain is tremendous.
I have the program on my desktop pc, but not my laptop. can ANYBODY please direct me to the Non-odin way to flash the Samsung Epic back to stock? I am able to update the phone over 3g/4g after that for updates.
Thanks

Hi Everyone,
My dealer in Canada just confirmed that they have the SGS2X T989D in stock and can sell me one tomorrow, and I want to start hacking it immediately, but before I throw a bunch of stuff at it and potentially brick it, and assuming I can get CWM Recovery and SU on it, how can I dump or back up the stock rom? I'm not a newb, but not super advanced either, so any help would be great! Thanks!

Hey guys, anyone know how to save/extract/dump/backup the stock Telus ROM for Recovery before we start flashing stuff to it?
thanks

Is it same as the T-Mobile version? Thinking about getting this phone from Telus as well but really worried about developer support.
Thanks
I would suggest not loading any custom roms yet. The roms were built for the t-mobile version. It's not a big deal, they work fine but the ROM thinks you have a T989 when you actually have a T989D.
The devs just need to incorporate our model in the current roms and it will be alright from there. The Telus model is rootable using the same procedure as the T-Mobile version.

welll .. I was looking for a way to completely unroot my phone today to send it back by the 9th. But to my surprisement the unroot threads are gone. The links in the index are there but when you click on them ... they dont work. They are not in the development or the general section .. I went thru all the pages. A search didnt find anything on how to unroot this so I can take send it back.
soooo .. how do we unroot this damn thing now .. and what happened to those threads? Thanks

I didnt use this since I had a backup but this is the stock ROM that you can probably use in jangst123 method instead of using that deodexed one... but I didnt do that ... so I cant confirm that myself .. although .. couldnt see why not.

Well wouldn't unrooting bring you back to stock status? Either way hope this helped.
If your using the stock zip make sure you flash stock kernel first and then stock rom or you'll be stuck with custom kernel logo if you had one installed.

eh not really .. I was using a "stock" but rooted rom. I was looking for the keyword of unroot... which is probably why I didnt see that one. Since there are stock ROMs that arent really stock like rooted and all.
But yes that did help and I`m sure its going to help others as well .. so thanks again for the reply.

I was planing on going stock and rooting again so i could overclock and flash a rom sooner or later. So i guess that would be the best way with that link
That thread will give you ek02 kernel and ek02 rom, but not the modem.
Flash the modem separately if you want it.
Alternatively if you want to start from scratch, odin the eg30 factory restore from my signature, then immediately apply the ek02 ota update.

Hope it worked out for you but there is no need to go back to stock unrooted to achieve your goal unless thats what you want to do
sfhub 's methods work awesome
Is there an easy way to go back to 100% stock no matter what modem and everything else you have? This one mentions if you are on a certain version of something you won't be able to flash.

Make a nandroid backup in clock work mod. If you dont have clock work, you will have to install that first. Search the dev thread for the CWM recovery threads
Okay, i have cwm and i have it backed up. so if i download ics and flash it i will be able to restore my old data?
