not that i want to go back, i am loving this ICS leak, but for those that want to go back to stock 2.3.5 can we simply just put in the rom image in odin and flash in download mode?
figured someone was bound to ask so wanted to get it out there.

not really any help there. rooting is not the issue. didnt know if anything was hard coded into the device with the ics update that prevented anyone from being able to just put the phone in download mode and load up the official odin roms to downgrade.
No, you can use the stock ROM at anytime to flash to GB or back to ICS.
Did you not read the second paragraph of the thread?

I just flashed 2.3 EF02 and while it runs great there is no sound no matter how many times I flash and reflash. So I would like to go back to 2.2, now I made a back up of my phone before flashing so can I just clockwork mod recovery to 2.2 or do I need to odin? Please and thank you!
Did u flash the update.zip that was posted in development or did u do the Odin way

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:

So im on stock rooted and lets say i get the update but im rooted do i need to unroot to proceed ??.. or i can do it whit root? Cant wait for some jellybean goodies

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.

Hey guys so i rooted my phone using odin and was attempting to put on cyanogen mod 10.1 when it failed and i restored to factory settings. then i thought ill restore to my previously saved backup and it stayed at the samsung screen that lights up behind the white lettters. now i tried going into recovery mode and restoring to factory and also tried clear cache and delvik cache. only problem is it still got stuck at the samsung screen so i then tried to reroot it on obin but since there was a binary count of 1 it didnt work what can i dooo
binary count wouldn't stop anything from flashing. after flashing a stock rom with odin again, make sure to go directory into recovery to wipe data/factory reset and then boot up the phone.
I got it working then I tried to put cyanogen 10.1 on and it crashed again idno what the deal is I put it on sd card and loaded it with root manager

root manager? or rom manager?
sent from my I747
Don't use rom manager to flash a rom. Odin back to stock (Samsung devices are special that way) or use one of the root injected firmwares in one of the stickies in the development section. Once you get set up, download goo manager from the play store (you must be rooted to use it). From the menu of goo manager install recovery script, you will then have twrp recovery installed. Then follow the instructions in the op for the rom you want to flash. If this seems foreign to you then Odin back to stock and stay there. If you want to continue to modify your device read and read some more. Tony stark has a thread with all the information you need. Just Google search.

It is easy once you do it once. First time can be overwhelming. I'm a visual learner so I found a YouTube video for the phone and followed it step by step. Now I'm almost flashing them in my sleep. :thumbup:

It's only a soft brick. As long as you can get into download mode you can use Odin to return to stock.

If it was bricked you don't get a chance to keep bricking it. Stay with stock until you feel more comfortable with the process.
