Hi

Great instructions that have helped me go back to stock a few times. FYI, the file in this thread is stock GB 2.3.6. If you want stock Tmo ICS image:

Root should be fine. Its the custom recovery that'll prevent you from even being able to get the update.
You will lose root though unless you use voodoo rootkeeper or mobile odin pro.

Its pretty straight forward actually. There should be steps laid out in post 2 of the fw thread and I believe Theexel hasit in his thread stickied in this section.
If you have any problems let me know, but don't see a reason to retype it all again!

Along the same lines...I just got an s3 yesterday and rooted stock 4.0.4. Used OTA root keeper, downloaded the ota for JB and when I attempt to upstate it fails....I have stock recovery. No idea why it keeps failing. I would Odin the prerooted JB but my wife doesn't want to lose her settings she already set up. Any ideas?

You probably have a custom recovery causing it to fail.
Regardless of how you update you will possibly lose some settings. Its recommended, but not required to do a clean update anyway. But flashing with odin should preserve your settings as well as the ota would. Once they boot up it shouldn't matter as the resulting build is the same.

So let's say I download the flash able version of the JB stock OTA, I can flash it through stock recovery or twrp or cwm, right?
Sorry, not new to flashing ROMs at all..but normally I flash custom ROMs and don't care about losing anything, but my wife likes the touchjizz...lol

Depends if you've done anything to your current build.
Cwm will flash it, but I just don't care for it. Caused probs for quite a few people.
But you have to be full stock. No mods, no deodexing, no bloat removal, no modems flashed, etc.
Then you should be able to flash it in cwm.
Its preferred you do it through stock recovery. You can use voodoo rootkeeper to preserve root.

I am going to use Odin to flash back to stock on my wife's phone as Skype doesn't work(static on other end) on any newer rom I have tried (flashed about ten last night.. Cm/AOKP./etc).
Do I need to find a stock kernel or will everything go back to stock if I flash a stock rom and do a factory reset?
Thanks,

You don't need to flash kernel after flashing stock ROM with Odin.
Thanks so much.
Sent from my LG-E973 using xda premium
The kernel comes with any rom you download. If you want a different kernel, you flash the kernel of choice after you flash the rom.

I am still new to the forums and flashing ROMs. I want to go back to the stock ROM, but I've seem to have lost my stock ROM I originally set up before I started flashing. Can anyone please direct me to where I can download the stock ROM. Thanks

to flash in odin or one that is just rooted to flash in recovery ?
Flash in recovery, but if using Odin will work better than I will do that.
