Ok So I rooted my S3. Uninstalled a lot of bloat ware.
My question is... I never made a back up yet... so I am about to do it now.. by the way, I have not done any custom roms kernels or flashing yet... just removed bloat ware...
So from my understanding, I cannot reset the phone and get back all of the normal apps the phone comes with? Or can you?
And if you cannot, what is a way to? If possible at all. Thanks.
Well I know you can do it via this:
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-unroot/how-to-unroot-t-mobile-galaxy-s3-sgh-t999/
by flashing a stock rom.
but is that the only way?
Isnsome of the threads with debloated roms have a link ton download the stock apps.

Ok thank you.. but i should still be fine tho right? Because it basically is the stock rom, just debloated.. so i can back that rom up and start doing my flashes and start trying out other roms right?
Yep. If you restore the backup it will just be a debloated backup.

I've been searching and have yet to find a complete guide or one stop shop for unrooting and putting back to factory. I'm rooted with beastmod, synergy kernel, and cwm recovery. I do not have a stock .tar or nandroid backup. Can anyone help with providing instructions on how to do this? I want to be unrooted, stock rom, and stock recovery. Basically like how it was out of the box.

Very nice, thank you. This gets rid of root correct? Samsung updates will be pushed to the phone everything properly functioning?

I just bought my SGS3 yesterday and still going under battery calibration, first cycle. Question is should I wait to complete the battery calibration before rooting or go ahead and root?
I'm coming from a Vibrant, so I know about rooting, just don't know if its a better idea to get the calibration done right first before rooting.
I would just go ahead and root it. I rooted mine on like the 2nd or 3rd day

I would assume that I would have to re-calibrate either way, correct?

I honestly think all that batt calibrating is bogus. The new batt will get better thru every cycle. Just my 2cents

I just rooted my phone anyways! Ah, I guess I have been misinformed and been trapped in my old ways, Vibrant ways. lol. Had another question, will removing any of the T-Mobile crapware mess with the full functionality of the stock rom? I remember for the vibrant, removing certain apps caused the phone to force close repeatedly and crashed the phone.
Flash a debloated rom and you should be fine.

I wanted to keep it stock rom because those debloated roms look like they are the previous OS versions? I bought my phone with the OTA update that everyone seems to be talking about now and how some kernels don't work well with the new OS update

Is it safe to remove with Titanium Backup or would Root Explorer be best?
Edit:
Nvm, I think Titanium will be more user friendly I'll use Root Explorer for other stuff.

Follow up, but kind of on point, is there a way to obtain root without wiping everything?
Like, I set up the phone, go for a week, then decide I want root.

You don't need to wipe anything before rooting. You just need to make sure you back up your stuff in case the worst of the worst happens.

What if you're doing it through Odin?
** EDIT ** Meaning, flashing a stock rom with root injected in Odin.

Well if you have a custom recovery, then it may or may not flash. Some users tried to take it and got a status 7 error, while others took it to remove the notification and (hoping it would error out) were suprised to find it go through and it removed their root. The only difference with this update really is the firmware, but you can find flashables of those in freezas stock rooted thread

First off, the unpleasantness: This topic has been covered in many, many threads. Please run a search (or scroll through the threads for 10 minutes) and you'll most likely find your answer.
Ok, now for your answer:
Are you still using the stock recovery or do you have a custom one (CWM or TWRP)?
If you're on stock, you *should* be able to run the update. I'd recommend going back to Stock Rooted before updating, though.
If you're on CWM, you can try running the update. It works for some people running CWM, not for others. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason why it works for some and not others.
If you're on TWRP, you can't run this update, but you can run the update files given by Freeza in his thread. If you just want to keep your ROM with the newest baseband, run the file "MB1 Firmware/modem/baseband update."
Hope the helps!

You need to odin back to stock.. download the .tar in development section and follow directions. Its easy. You will need this if you ever want to go back to stock or un root for warranty etc

Entirely up to you, honestly it isn't that hard to make a backup of all your apps with 'Helium' and restore onto the stock rom, etc. It's the challenge everyone faces when flashing ROMs. I would wait until there's an update and see what changes it brings before reverting. But you will want to download the stock .tar for instances you need to go back to stock.
Is there a way to root the device again and still maintain having all blotware removed? Or will it add back all carrier and third party apps?

If you did a nand backup, it will install the bloat again and also with the .tar file unless stated bloat has been removed.

All official updates are complete with bloat, the only way is to install the update and remove the bloat afterwards or wait for someone to release a debloated rooted build.

Just wait. When an official update is released a debloated version usually appears on the forums that is prerooted and ready for CWM/TWRP.
I'm also getting the same message. Is it because super user is installed or because of my custom recovery? Or both? If I remove super user will it work? Or would I also need to flash the stock recovery?
I'm still on the stock rom

It's because we rooted, but uninstalling it won't reset it because of the ticker, anything installed after the factory condition will show it as custom.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
There is no official stock (yet) so your stuck like that
But if your rooted in the first place why does it matter you can install any firmware/software updates yourself
Official stock is out. Check the general forum.

He should just wipe dalvik and cache and reflash the rom, that would be a lot easier.
I would suggest Flashing freeza's Stock Rooted Rom as edfunkycold suggested. You can find it HERE. That way you retain Root. So if you want to change things, you have Full control .

The OTA will still most likely not work because he's rooted. Bloatware has nothing to with receiving ota. He might as well just flash Freeza's Stock rooted rom it is as stock as stock can be just rooted and flashable in a zip format. He would then have to freeze the Bloatware he wants frozen. Freezing them is a much better and safer option than deleting them.
