Hi,
I have been rooting for a while with my evo 4g which is basically just recoveries & zip files.
Currently I have updated to Calk's ICS Beta 3 rom with modem FC05. I have read some stuff here & there that talk about having issues going from a ICS rom back to a GB nandroid.
I have installed Kies opened Odin, looked at the Wiki here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274337
I just dont quite get in terms of flashing zips through odin. I keep reading people say to odin back to stock & then flash from there.
How do I do that? I looked at QB777's video on youtube, but it seems like PIT files arent used much at this point.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Rich
Ok, basically when you Odin back to stock, it involves flashing a .tar ROM from the pda slot in desktop Odin and not zip file like you would in CWM. Once you restore back to stock, you can find a .tar recovery, I personally use rogue which will allow you to have cwm-based recovery for flashing zips. All the links should be in development. Let me know if you still need help
Edit-what Odin does is it allows you to flash Roms, kernels, moderns, etc even if you don't have a custom recovery, provided that they are in the correct format, like .tar extension

so when i flash a tar, I go into download mode, open odin, point it to a stock rooted tar file that has CWR & I am back to stock ready to flash to something else?
Can you help me find those files? A stock rooted, CWR should do the trick.

Ok, so you go into a download mode on your phone, open Odin, plug in your USB cord, ODIN should recognize your phone provided you installed the right drivers. You're good if you get the yellow box that says 0 com, something something. The only box that should be checked is Auto Reboot in Odin.
The easiest way that I've been going back and forth between GB and ICS is to install the rooted EL29 .tar version here
http://little-melon.com/sfhub/SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED-sfx.exe
You would need to extract the file until you get a folder with tar.md5 name. Example of the file I provided would be SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED_PDA.tar.md5 once you unzip it. This is the file you would put on the PDA slot of your desktop Odin.
Once you do this, Odin will start flashing and be done in like 1-2 minutes and auto reboot. Do not do anything to shut down, unplug, or mess with the device while Odin is flashing or you may end up bricking it. Once your phone reboots you will be rooted and stock based with EL 29 modem and kernel, which is the latest official Sprint OTA. If you want to get a recovery after this,you would need to go back into Odin and flash a kernel that has a recovery baked in. Like I said I use Rogue and the link would be here for Rogue Stock EL29-
http://goo-inside.me/kernels/TeamRo.../rogue_ET-recoveryonly-1.1.4-rc0-odin.tar.md5
Flashing this in Odin you will get CWM-based recovery and can start backing up, flashing different ROMS.
Hope this helps.
This is very helpful. I am stuck at the SGS2 boot screen after flashing MIJJs Goodness 1.8, can't boot in to recovery, only download mode. How do I fix this?

Flash a recovery in download mode that I linked. It's rogue recovery
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Just to confirm, using the files you had here, I open odin in download mode, choose PDA (check the check box) point it to the tar.md5 file, hit start & wait a few minutes until it auto reboots?
How do I flash the recovery? Is it also the PDA?
I have been flashing modems in CWR, not odin & I just want to make sure that recovery or rom itself, just PDA & nothing else checked (but PDA)?

Reverting back to GB ROM
I recently switched back from ICS to GB and did not have any problems with the change back. I simply went into my SD card manually took everything off except my chaulkins format all and my wifi tether hack. I then went into recovery mode and did a wipe all. Then went to zip files, ran the format all, then did an install of the new ROM and it works great!

So I came from ICS FC07, and was trying to update my rom to FC15, went into recovery, wiped all, flashed the rom, then the moden, and now I am stuck at the Galaxy S II screen.... I backed everything up in CMW before flashing though so how can I restore it? When I got into recovery ( stock ) I see all my back ups
Is DL mode available? Then only solution would be installing the recovery kernel thru odin.
At this time, EL29 is known as safe to use. So, download the tar file from

Rogue Stock EL29 (Odin Tar)
-Open Odin and make sure only auto reboot is selected in the option list
-Click PDA and select the Rogue tar, then select start
Odin the tar file (be sure put the file to the right place) and during the reboot, press vol up + power. If the recovery mode comes, then restart the whole process again but don't do the modem again at the same session. If modem cause the problem, then try odin the modem after the reboot.
*important* Be sure that you use the usb cable that had no issues before. Bad usb cable is causing your odin process stopped and your phone bricked....
If you had FC07 with CWM repack did you try any wipe operations before flashing by ODIN OC?
If you should have problems flashing by ODIN after similar cases - in particular, data.img - please mention so as it *may* indicate a brick. But being optimistic and hoping that isn't the case here...

seems like we have to choose the long-ride path.
From the same download page, there are separate rom(+root)/kernel/modems files are available. Starting from the first (format all), can you try odin one by one? (reboot after each installation)
The sequence would be -
1. from the recovery, wipe everything, execute Calk's format all
2. odin Rom
3. reboot and check if system starts
4. odin kernel (repacked recovery)
5. reboot
6. odin modem
7. reboot.
8. go settings > about phone > system update > update profile & PRL

Well here is what I did, went into download mode, and installed the EG30 Tar, and everything is up and running. My only problem is that now I have EG30 with FC15 modem LoL, although I am considering leaving it as is because my phone seems to be working super fast, if I wanted to change the modem I would need to do this through Odin correct?

because you've already figured out lots of things already, why don't you move to FC18 rom. There would be lots of benefits on it.
Currently Calk's tweaked FC18 rom is available along with Rogue FC18 recovery kernel.

Not to go out of subject but I decided to go back to stock due to all the little bugs with the new ICS leaks, ex: notification sound, GPS, Camera takes a looong time to boot up ( sometimes) so I said "eh Im going back to stock "
Has these things been worked out in FC18?
I did not notice any issues on FC18. It seems like lots of people are now satisfied with this rom. Again, up to you.
Im curently running stock fe16 rooted and i downloaded fe16 clockwordmod recovery plus. when i put the zimage into e4gtauto,000root and i ran it i still dont have clockword mod recovery what did i do wrong?
You will have a unsecure stock recovery. It looks stock, its sfhubs repack right?
yeah i think its sfhubs so it looks stock? and i could flash stuff right just not modems and roms

Right, no roms or modems unless u want a paper weight lol
whenevr i try flashing something it just says mount sdcard no such file or directoey...
Not sure what your're doing. If you are on sfhub's stock rooted you can then add his 'unlocked' or 'unlocked plus' kernel. Via mobile Odin or regular Odin. See his second post if you haven't already. They do NOT contain CWM but do let you flash unsigned zip files.
Here is the ACS kernel with CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660138 download the zip to your SD card, boot to stock 'unlocked' recovery (power down, volume up+Power button till first samsung screen and let go) and choose to update file from SD card (or something like that) flash it there. Be careful if you are not sure what you are doing and read some more or you will surely brick your phone.
FE16_repack_ACS.tar Flash with ODIN.
its not letting me download it is the link bad? and i think im just going to go back to el29 and restart
nevermind i got it thanks alot.
You don't have to go back unless you really want to.
I just tried the zip and tar download for ACS recovery and they both worked. (remember that is a link to a site you have to download from there; can't 'save the link..')
IF you are on sfhub's stock rooted FE16 just add the unlocked kernel following post 2.
Then download the zip file for ACS recovery and flash that in the 'unlocked recovery'.
You sound like you're getting frustrated and not sure what to do. If that's the case take your time and do some more reading.

The link can be very slow to start, may take several minutes. Let it sit maybe.
Edit: Oops, too slow. (Me, not the download)
do i flash the unlocked kernal in e4gt tool? or odin where do i put the zimage for odin?
im just ganna run the tfe16 how do i flash the cwm kernal for that one ?
you don't use the e4gt tool
You use Odin as described in the second post from sfhub's stock rooted fe16. place the .tar into the pda slot
there is no tar when i extract it theres just a zimage?
Not sure which one you are talking about.
The unlocked kernel tar from sfhub? Here there nothing to 'extract' the file is a .tar file USED by Odin. place the tar in the pda slot as it says in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26205440&postcount=2
If you're talking about the tar file for the ACS recovery use that in mobiel Odin and place it in the kernel slot, scroll down and select flash firmware. Bam done.

Leader he's unzipping the tar.
King, please leave all tar and zip files intact.
Here is how it works:
Tar files - use Odin
Zip files - use CWM recovery
When you use odin from the pc, these are the slots to use depending on the file you are flashing:
•PDA Button: This is for flashing kernels and ROMs (in .tar format)
•PHONE Button: This is for the phone's RADIO/MODEM ONLY!!!!!!
ok i know the "kernal" is a tar file i need clockword mod not the kernal
i know i dont have CWM recovery thats what im trying to get im just on stock fe16 right know!
kingofretros said:

the CWM is 'baked into' the Kernel. So you have to add that kernel to your stock rooted setup after you do that.
Simple use sfhubs stock rooted fe16
Follow the steps in post to to add unlocked recovery
boot to 'stock unlocked' recovery
update from zip file
select the ACS kernel and apply it.
then you will have stock rooted fe16 with ACS CWM
where are the steps? and i already flashed the kernal again
My front facing camera is broken. These are the steps leading to it.
1) Stock Tmo phone my wife used for a month. Both cameras worked. We switched phones.
2) I rooted it. While trying to flash CWM, I accidentally chose to fix root before rebooting. I sort of lost root. I flashed SU again and everything was fine.
3) I was running rooted stock and realized my camera app was broken. It wouldn't launch. After clearing cache and data, it worked. I never checked FFC.
4) Flashed VirginROM after doing a factory reset and clearing caches. FFC does not work. I get a Unfortunately, Camera stopped working error if I try to use it. After that even the regular camera wont work until I clear cache and data.
Is there anything I can do to get my FFC working again? I flashed two different versions of the ROM after doing a factory reset and it won't work.
I'd Odin back to stock. And, start over.

Usually camera issues are always related to the kernel so what I would do
is flash a different/newer kernel which will not have any the camera issues.
Here is the direct download link for the stock modified kernel: http://ktoonsez.jonathanjsimon.com/sgs4/TWGE/KT-SGS4-JB4.3-TWGE-TMO-11.14.2013.zip
Flash this using cwm/twrp recovery.

Thank you for your reply. I don't want to go back to stock and restart, so this is a better option. I do have a couple of questions:
* Is the kernel independent of the ROM? My current kernel version says
3.4.0-2270815

Mon Dec 9 15:47:40 KST 2013
* Do I just download, flash, and reboot in CWM?
Also, clicking the link does nothing. I can't find the zip file to download.

All you do is download and flash in cwm recovery then reboot in cwm recovery.
And yes, all kernels are independent of the rom, that's
why there are so many different kernels which can be
used on the same or other roms.
Good luck!

That means the phone is not completely powered down.
So remove the battery for 10 seconds and replace it then press vol-up and power

Be sure the usb cable is not connected to the phone and computer until

As a last resort you will need to ODIN flash the official stock rom.
If you have downloaded the official MK2 stock 4.3 M919 Odin flash rom and flashed it that means
that you cannot go back to 4.2.2 MDL roms so you need to Odin flash the official 4.3 stock firmware.
You can find and download the official 4.3 stock MK2 M919 ODIN flash firmware from http://SamMobile.com.
But if you simply flashed one of the cwm/twrp zip file custom roms here from XDA then you have a choice
to either odin flash the original MDL 4.2.2 M919 stock Jellybean Touchwiz firmware or if you don't care about
KNOX then you can flash the new MK2 Odin flash M919 stock official Jellybean Touchwiz 4.3 firmware.
There is also one other thing you can do, re-flash the cwm recovery using ODIN.
You will need to download the TAR file version of CWM custom recovery which needs to be flashed using ODIN.
Here is the direct download link for the odin flash cwm custom recovery TAR.
https://copy.com/txTLr/Galaxy-S4-tmo-cwr-6.0.3.6.zip?download=1
This will flash the cwm custom recovery to your phone so possibly you can go back into recovery
instead of flashing stock roms. If this does not work you will need to odin the stock rom.
After you odin flash a stock rom you need to root it and then Flash the CWM recovery tar file above
so you can go into cwm recovery.
Once thats done you can restore your nandroid backup.

I am a bit confused. My phone got the OTA 4.3 MK2 update before I rooted it and flashed CWM+custom ROM.
Flashing the recovery did not work.
I am currently downloading the M919UVUEMK2_M919TMBEMK2_TMB.zip from Sammobile to ODIN flash it. Is that right? Also in my Odin(v3.09) I see BL, AP, CP, CSC options. I assume that the recovery and the ROM tar files should be loaded in the AP section, right?

That even makes it easier.. then simply do this:
Download the official 4.3 stock MK2 M919 ODIN flash firmware from http://SamMobile.com. (or from a faster host link)
Unzip the file and inside you will find a TAR MD5 file and ODIN and ODIN.INI file.
Make an empty folder on your desktop and unzip the contents of the downloaded zip file into the new folder.
Then simply open odin and click the PDA slot, navigate to the TAR MD5 file and select it.
Put the phone into download mode
Connect the usb cable from phone to computer and make sure that the [COM:xx] in Odin lights
up then click the START button in Odin.
Once Odin is done successfully the phone will auto-reboot.
Have a lot of patience because to get the phone to a useable state it may take up to 4-5 minutes.
After its done you need to root the phone with cf-autoroot in Odin's PDA slot.
After it's rooted you need to flash a custom recovery, either TWRP which I would suggest or CWM custom recovery.
Once it's all done you can either start fresh, or simply restore the nandroid backup.
PLEASE NOTE: if your nandroid backup was made from any 4.2.2 stock or custom rom it will error out,
it cannot be done since having the 4.3 MK2 official firmware does not allow downgrading to older versions.
That's one of the drawbacks of the KNOX in the 4.3 firmware.
Good luck!

I am a bit confused. My phone got the OTA 4.3 MK2 update before I rooted it and flashed CWM+custom ROM.
Flashing the recovery did not work.
I am currently downloading the M919UVUEMK2_M919TMBEMK2_TMB.zip from Sammobile to ODIN flash it. Is that right? Also in my Odin(v3.09) I see BL, AP, CP, CSC options. I assume that the recovery and the ROM tar files should be loaded in the AP section, right?

Don't worry about those "BL, AP, CP, CSC" files, you opened the TAR file which is in the zip file.
Odin will take care of all of that stuff, Odin ONLY wants the TAR MD5 file in the PDA slot.
If you check the properties of the largest file inside the zip file you are downloading you will
see it is a file with a TAR and or MD5 extender. Thats what Odin needs in it's pda slot.
There is NO reason at all to EXTRACT any of the files which are inside the TAR MD5 file.
Think of the TAR MD5 file as if it was one very large image file which is required by Odin.
Hope that explains it.
Good luck!

That even makes it easier.. then simply do this:
Download the official 4.3 stock MK2 M919 ODIN flash firmware from http://SamMobile.com. (or from a faster host link)
Unzip the file and inside you will find a TAR MD5 file and ODIN and ODIN.INI file.
Make an empty folder on your desktop and unzip the contents of the downloaded zip file into the new folder.
Then simply open odin and click the PDA slot, navigate to the TAR MD5 file and select it.
Put the phone into download mode
Connect the usb cable from phone to computer and make sure that the [COM:xx] in Odin lights
up then click the START button in Odin.
Once Odin is done successfully the phone will auto-reboot.
Have a lot of patience because to get the phone to a useable state it may take up to 4-5 minutes.
After its done you need to root the phone with cf-autoroot in Odin's PDA slot.
After it's rooted you need to flash a custom recovery, either TWRP which I would suggest or CWM custom recovery.
Once it's all done you can either start fresh, or simply restore the nandroid backup.

I did not know you are using the latest version 3.09 of Odin,
they changed the names... AP = PDA PDA = AP both are the same thing.
So in all the posts I made wherever you see PDA it's AP from now on.......
Good luck!

I downloaded and flashed the MK2 stock firmware. ODIN showed a Pass, I disconnected the cable, and the phone rebooted into the T-mobile 4G LTE with a sound and it's been stuck on this for a while now. It hasn't crossed this screen. I don't know what to do.
Probably need to clear data.

First try this, pull the battery out wait 20 seconds replace it and restart the phone
with the power button.
If that don't work then download the odin flash cf-auto-root in odin's AP slot.
Here is the direct download link: http://download.chainfire.eu/328/CF...jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.zip?retrieve_file=1
Then here is the TWRP odin flash recovery: http://techerrata.com/get/twrp2/jfltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-jfltetmo.tar
Be sure to UN-CHECK "Auto-Reboot" in ODIN when flashing these two TAR files.
After the first one is flashed power off the phone and put it back into download mode.
Be sure the auto reboot is not checked then flash the TWRP recovery TAR file in odin's AP slot.
Then power off the phone and pull battery wait 20 seconds and replace battery then restart the
phone and hopefully it will fully restart completely without getting stuck.
If not continue below.
THIS NEXT PART PRESUMES THAT YOUR PHONE HAS STILL NOT FULLY BOOTED.
After you have flashed both cf-autoroot and twrp power down the phone and restart phone into recovery.
In TWRP recovery click the WIPE button and swipe the bottom slider to do a factory reset.
This step wipes any rogue files and apps which the ODIN flash of the firmware did add to the
phone, it also wipes all apps which came from the playstore or other sources (side loading)
Some rogue apps and the data they create can prevent the phone from a normal startup.
Factory reset also wipes all user data like contacts, passwords mms and other user created data
like your email accounts. It does not wipe the actual email messages on your isp's server.
.
It will NOT format the internal or external sdcards so you will not loose stuff like pictures,
videos, music or any personal documents you have created or anything you have backed up
with any apps which you may have gotten from the playstore or other sources.
When the factory reset is done, click the WIPE button again and select "advanced wipe".
Select Dalvik Cache and Cache then swipe the bottom button.
After doing all this click the back button twice to get to the screen where
it says "Reboot" click the reboot button then on the next screen click on
the "system" button then the phone reboots normally I hope!!!
Cross your fingers.
Good luck!

I rooted and flashed the recovery and followed the first step. It was stuck at the Tmobile screen.
Pressing volume up and power button does not take me into any recovery, just a blank screen. Last night I tried this with CWM and now with TWRP, but it won't enter into recovery.
I was on the Swampmonster rom but i kept having issues with hands free activation do i decided to unroot and start over.
Here's what i did, i used to flash the back to stock mc2 rom here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769
After I flashed this, I flashed the root. zip and then rebooted back to the special recovery and it finished the install. Rebooted but am stuck at the samsung splash screen, I can get into odin and stock recovery. Is there a way to odin back to mc2 stock and get my phone working again? Thanks

Have you tried to flash a custom recovery using Odin for PC? If you can then you should try to install Billards back to stock counter reset mc2 ROM. You may have to reroot and I recommend CF Auto Root. Heres zip file for Odin. A flashable tar file to use in Odin
When running Odin make sure ONLY thing checked is Auto reboot. You are in download mode on phone...(vol down-home-then power..holding all three till it boots into download mode). Make sure com port is lit on Odin.Click on PDA and locate the cwm file and click on it. Should put it into the PDA slot, hit start. If it fails change usb input slots with cable, hit reset and try again. Make sure you have the Billard 412 Rom on external/internal before doing tthis. Once the recovery is flashed try to install the Rom.
Let me know how it goes and by the way is been awhile since Ive seen you from the OG EVO days!

I ended up flashing Philz recovery thru odin then i was able to fix my phone. Thanks for the help.

So I flashed cm 10.2 on my Galaxy S3 AT&T, and forgot to flash the right gapps, so I did that, except I forgot to do a factory reset when I flashed them. When I went to reboot, my phone would not turn on, nor get into recovery mode. It keeps showing the Samsung logo with the little CyanogenMod figure underneath it, and keeps vibrating repeatedly while trying to turn on. This is not a boot loop (I think) because my phone doesnt even get as far as the arrow animation that keeps going in circles. All I can do is access download mode. Can anyone help me? I have tried taking the battery out multple times and waiting for the battery to charge and then trying to turn it on, to no success.

If you can get to download mode, try flashing a stock file via Odin to reset your phone to working conditions. Thereafter, you can go back to a custom ROM. Would you recall what firmware version you were on prior to flashing CM? If it was anything older than 4.3 (e.g. 4.1.2, 4.1.1), you can Odin back to 4.1.1. If you already had 4.3, you would need to Odin back to 4.3 following the instructions posted in the thread below ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722660&page=3. Scroll through carefully for the file you need for 4.3. Otherwise, you can find the Odin flash-able 4.1.1 stock file on sammobile.com

First you will need to download and extract the Odin tool. Odin is Samsung's tool for flashing (installing) firmware. You can download Odin v3.07 via the link below ...
http://www.mediafire.com/download/772dlmuaxfgm0x2/Odin307.zip
Once you have downloaded it, extract the files and look for the executable file (*.exe). That's the one you will need to run to open Odin.
We also need to identify the appropriate firmware to flash. You did not answer the earlier question on what Android version your device was on prior to flashing the custom firmware. This is important to let us know which official version you can safely revert to (4.1.1 or 4.3). If you were an older version than 4.3, you should flash 4.1.1 but if you were already on 4.3, then you should stick to this. Either way, you can download the 4.1.1 file via this link .. http://rapidgator.net/file/681a28a5...ATT_I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_Original.zip.html?
Download the files to your PC and extract.
To flash via Odin, open Odin.exe on your PC
Click on the PDA tab and navigate to the file you just extracted. Select the file ending in *.tar.md5 (For 4.1.1, this would be I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar.md5). Make sure this file is showing in the PDA tab.
Boot your phone into download mode and connect to your computer with a good quality micro-USB cable. Make sure your phone is recognized by Odin. You should see the message Added in the left pane.
Do not check or uncheck any boxes other than the defaults.
Click on start and waiting for firmware flashing to end and you see Pass. Your phone will reboot at this stage. You can disconnect from your PC
However, for 4.3, it looks like the Odin flash-able file has been taken offline so you would need to this via custom recovery. That's a different process so please revert on your Android version first so we'll know whether this is required or not
I was running JB 4.3, and I am planning to flash 4.1.1 as you've said. I am downloading that rom from the SamMobile site, however it is taking quite a while...
I understand that it shouldnt be a two minute download, however its been 2 hours and only 210 MB has been downloaded.
Also, I have Odin v3.09, which in the place of a PDA tab, there is an AP tab... should I place the file in the AP tab?

Please do not try to flash 4.1.1 if you were on JB 4.3 otherwise you could hard brick your phone due to the secure bootloader in 4.3. You need to revert to stock 4.3 via custom recovery. You may go to the thread below for instructions...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
1) Flash custom recovery (I would suggest TWRP because of the GUI). In Odin v3.09 use the AP tab in place of PDA. You can download TWRP for your device via the link below ...
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-d2att.tar
2) Download the stock restore zip file in the thread above and copy to your (micro) SD card. The (TWRP) stock restore zip is also available via the following link .... http://www.mediafire.com/download/30idxwhg2hidxx2/ATT_I747_UCUEMJB_StockRestore_2282014.zip
3) Flash the custom recovery file via Odin. Remove battery immediately the flashing is complete to stop reboot.
4) Place the SD card with the recovery file in your phone
5) Reboot into recovery mode by simultaneously holding down the Volume Up, Home and Power buttons. Hold all buttons until you see the blue flash across your screen, then release power button but keep holding the volume up and home buttons until the Android image appears.
6) Select install and navigate to the stock restore file. Swipe across screen to flash and wait for installation to be complete.
7) Clear cache/dalvik and reboot to system
If you are unable to boot to recovery, then you may still try flashing using Odin v3.09. You may follow the instructions in the thread below and load all the respective partitions. You would need to use the version that has separate flashable files as the single *.tar file has been taken down.

Just to reaffirm since I am not very experienced and do not wish to break my phone:
1) Download the twrp 2.6.3.1 d2att.tar file and flash it to my phone in download mode via Odin.
2)Download zip file on my computer, and take out the microSD from my phone, and copy the file to my microSD.
3) I am confused here because you stated to flash the custom recovery in step 1... anyways when flash is complete I immediately take my battery out to stop the reboot.
4) I insert the microSD with the zip file containing the stock rom
5) Now I should be able to reboot into recovery mode on my phone, though I could not beforehand.
6) Once in Recovery, go to Install and flash the custom stock.
7)Wipe dalvik cache and cache, and reboot to system.
Please clear up any confusion, I am very cautious and inexperienced. Sorry.

Yes, you are correct. What you are doing in step 1) is flashing custom recovery to your phone. Custom recovery allows you install zip files to your phone and is more functional and versatile than stock recovery.
The zip file referred to in 2) is the stock restore zip. This is the file you will be flashing from (custom) recovery and is the one from the following link (http://www.mediafire.com/download/30...re_2282014.zip). Once you have downloaded it to your computer, save to an SD card so you can insert it into your phone to flash.
The battery pull is after flashing the TWRP file. You then have to boot into (custom) recovery mode to flash the stock restore zip from the SD card.
You are OK on the other steps. Trust this clarifies. Let me know if you encounter any issues.
I have done everything you said, I flashed the TWRP file via Odin, and then i copied the stock zip file to my microSD and put it back into my phone.
I am able to boot into recovery, and everytime I go to flash the stock rom, midway through the flash my phone starts rebooting. Even if I try to clear dalvik cache and cache first, once they are cleared my phone automatically starts rebooting. What do I do now? The zip file is there and I can reach TWRP recovery, but the flash wont complete because my phone starts rebooting. I am at a 100% battery right now so I do not know what the cause of this could be. Please help, I cannot tell what I did wrong if I did do anything wrong.
Try installing the latest version of Philz Touch for the d2lte. Some people have good results with TWRP. I found Philz Touch, which is based on CWM, better for my purposes. Philz can be installed via Odin as long as you down the tar version.

Ok, something very strange has occured.
Since my phone would not flash the original stock rom, I decided to go ahead and flash CM10.2 and its gapps to see if it the problem was with my phone or with the file. Everything worked fine and my phone booted and ran CM10.2, but then I had absolutely no signal anywhere. I could confirm something was wrong because there were multiple AT&T users near me that had good signal. So then I went to flash the stock rom, and it worked. I cleared dalvik and cache like normal after all these flashes and performed factory resets, however when I flashed this stock rom, it worked but 1) I could not connect to Wifi 2) I could not use apps with root requirements, and Root Checker said I did not have root access, even though I had definitely rooted my phone earlier when I first ran CM11 and CM10.2
Should I root again? Please help, my phone is working and I can go into download, stock recovery, and normal mode.

The whole idea was to get your phone back to working state. Thereafter, you can build up on the food chain. The stock file you flashed restores the phone to near factory settings including a complete stock (official) firmware, stock recovery, resetting the flash counter. Unfortunately, it also removes root as well. You can, however, re-root in a number of ways. You may also do as Audit advised and reflash Philz Touch custom recovery which would allow you flash any custom ROM of your choice. You do not necessarily need to root to flash custom ROMs if you have custom recovery. However, if you need to use apps which require root, I would recommend you try SafeRoot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758). Very easy to use and worked quite well for me.
Finally, you should be able to restore your Wi-Fi from settings. Wi-Fi setup should have happened during the set-up process upon reboot after the firmware installation but sometimes this step is skipped. If you go to Settings, you should be able to enable and set up Wi-Fi.
