I wanna go back to stock rooted with recovery from the build of AOKP that's posted on Android Central, and I was wondering that the safest way would be. I was thinking of using the Odin OC of FF18 , then using the Autoroot package to flash the recovery. Is there an easier way?
I'm only going to stock to update prl while I try to find a good SGS3 based rom.

question is i'm on telus so is the stock recovery the same for the telus version? also is the stock kernel the same?
I do have a nandriod back up before i rooted it so i'm not sure if i need the stock recovery.
does this also unroot my phone?
take care
I would follow a more up to date guide if I was you.

Just Odin the stock ROM. That's really all there is to it

Not really because if he has a rom with a different kernel other than stock he will be stuck with that kernel image if he doesn't flash/odin stock kernel first.

I'm trying to flash custom roms to my phone but for som reason it just goes to the little android icon. I'm on EL29 stock root and attempting to flash EL29 custom blazer rom. Anyone else having this issue?
Sounds like you have a stock recovery. Install a custom recovery via sfhub's sticky in the development forum

Here is a link to the stock el26 with cwm. Use odin/mobile odin to flash.

I have EL29 stock rooted. So I can go backwards to EL26? Also I have clockworkmod recovery which is what i'm using to flash custom roms.

I'm back to stock on Sprint Epic 4G Touch with the OTA update to ICS that I recently had to flash back to EL29 and stock recovery to update to. I was still rooted until I updated to Android 4.0 ICS so now I am totally stock once again. Is there a method to obtain root access for stock ICS and stock recovery as well as flash CWM recovery? Any help is always appreciated. Thanks. If there is already a thread dedicated to this I apologize for missing it.
I suggest you follow the instructions in this thread:

It seems that the main issue was some emmc issue causing bricks when flashing with ICS because we didn't have an official release or the source.
I've seen a few rom developers state that they think this problem has been solved in some later kernels. Now that we have an official ICS release, Is this a safe process now? Are there certain roms or kernels I should be using to get ICS recovery to work safely?
Basically I want to no longer have to flash el29 just to try things like Google Now ports and stuff. I want a fully mobile option to flash multiple roms at my leisure like other phones
Agats kernel/recovery is safe. Sleshepic's kernel/recovery is also safe. I flash ICS to ICS alot thru their recoveries no problem.

I am glad someone else asked this because I was just about to do the same. I am on Agat and was about to go from stock rom to AOKP Milestone 6 but wasn't sure if I could flash back to TW based roms without having to go to EL29.
How do I flash their recoveries? I already rooted and have superuser. I just don't have a recovery and I'm confused on the articles I've read. Thanks in advance.

Every kernel is safe as long as you don't factory reset. use calks flash all zip instead of the wipe in recovery. Rujelus22 has a 2x wipe zip that does it twice. They wipe cache, dalvik, and system data in one shot.
What kernel should i be downloading? I have stock ICS rooted.

Flash Agats kernel. The .tar file in odin or mobile odin.

If I wanna upgrade to the official JB and my S3 is rooted with custom rom, is it safe to upgrade to official jb via Kies? Or should I go back to stock ics before upgrading?

If you want to go from a custom ROM to stock JB, Kies won't do it. You will need to flash via Odin. You will loose root and your custom recovery.

Link please ? Do that Odin program and how to flash JB on it
If you're going to have to use odin anyway, you should consider installing mrRobinson's root-injected stock jellybean rom. Then you won't have to worry about rooting it. Worked awesome on my stock rooted ICS with stock recovery. Also worked awesome on my son's stock rooted ICS with CWM. Here's the link. Everything you need to know is in the first post.

Do I need to get rid of my custom rom if I wanna upgrade? If I don't, will it brick it?
