How do I downgrade from the JB leak? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I'm currently unrooted and updated to the JB leak but the random reboots are driving me crazy and I want to go back to good ol ICS. Reset through recovery didn't work.

You should be able to just reinstall it using odin. You can find the firmware her or on samfirmware.com.

I just tried flashing with Odin but I'm still stuck on 4.1.1. Can someone please help me out here? My S3 is basically useless. I even ended up on some Kernel panic screen three times today.

Need help with Rooting

So I used the Odin one touch root here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835033&highlight=fh13+root
And it all seems to work fine, and I even got the PASS in the program, but when it rebooted, I got the Android System Recovery.
I hit reboot device in the Android System Recovery and it turned out that my device was not rooted, didn't even get the Super User app...thing.
So any help is appreciated with my situation. I did make sure I have ICS and FH13.
Did you use the rooted one? I think it's in post 2?

I think the latest for our phone is UVLH2, so not sure what you are seeing. But you will need to be on UVLH2 to get any official OTA.

Samsung is pissed you're running a leaked firmware and is pushing that update to hard brick your device. You have 24hrs till your phone is a paperweight. Sorry dude.

JB is weak in my opinion. I flashed the official jb to my bros quad version earlier today and basically sucks if you are already on a leaked jb or custom jb rom. Very dissapointing.

WIND, Mobilicity or Videotron customer with a Samsung Galaxy S III? Jealous that other GS III owners on other carriers already have received the Jelly Bean upgrade? Curious to know where yours is sitting? Well, Samsung answered all your questions today on Twitter stating that WIND, Mobilicity and Videotron will “start receiving Jelly Bean on Fri. with a staggered rollout into next week!”

It is a Videotron issue with their firmware. The connection is completely unstable with their rom. Any custom rom those not cause any failed connection. I would suspect their APN to be thw cause since I do get gateway failures only using stock.

Maybe you can pay someone to fix your USB port?
Just noticed you said 4.1.1. Could you OTA to 4.1.2? Maybe it'll overwrite/re-write the borked files?

Sounds like you're repair guy didn't quite fix it...
Who is your carrier? I'm pretty sure 4.1.2 is out for everyone now. Perhaps you could factory reset and then the phone would see the update (and rewrite the borked files)
