Since my phone was giving me so many problems in clock work recovery I decided to follow the stock eb13 thread so I could start again with a clean slate. This worked fine.
However, now I can not get any of the one click roots to work. Keeps telling me that it can't find my phone. It is in debug mode. I have the samsung drivers. If I didn't I wouldn't have been able to use odin.
Long story short:
I need to get the one click root to recognize the fact that my phone is plugged in.
Did you use the Samsung tool? If so reinstall the drivers for OncClick. I ran into this too and that fixed it.
No, I actually used odin to do it. I still tried what you suggested and sure enough it fixed my problem.
Thank you.
Not a problem man!
Did you get it fixed???
theres your answer

If your not having a problem using odin the easiest method is to grab it all in one install. There is a thread in development section that will flash eb13 deodexed, clockwork, and root all through using odin. I would send a link but I'm not on my comp right now. Just look for the [stock flash] tag

Hello all. I messed up my phone and need help
I tried to flash a kernel thru oden. When I flashed it I placed the file in the phone part instead of the PDA part. Now my phone is in a constant Los and won't get out of airplane mode. I've tried flashing different kernels with no luck. Any ideas?
I'm a bit of a noob so I could be wrong but I Believe u need to search for the modem to flash via Odin there is a few threads floating around about this subject. Hope that helps some.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ICS FLASHING ARE.
1. DOWNLOAD ODIN AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR USB CABLE WITH YOU FOR DOING THIS. ONCE DOWNLOADED ODIN THEN UNZIP AND SAVE IT ON DESKTOP, NOW GO AHEAD OPEN ODIN.
2. MAKE SURE THERE IS NO CHECKMARK ON RE-PARTITION
3. CLICK ON PHONE AND FIND THE FILE IF ITS ZIPPED THEN UNZIP IT.
4. GO INTO DOWNLOAD MODE BY TURNING THE PHONE OFF AND THEN POWER + VOLUME DOWN BUTTON PRESSSED. THAT'LL TAKE YOU TO DOWNLOAD MODE.
5. ONCE IN DOWNLOAD MODE GO BACK TO YOUR COMPUTER AND PRESS START AND LET IT FLASH DON'T PULL YOUR PLUG AND LET THE PHONE RESTART BY ITSELF. ONCE DONE..
YOU'VE JUST FLASHED ICS WITHOUT "ROOT" AT THIS MOMENT..
SHOULD YOU WANNA GO BACK TO GB THEN YOU NEED TO FIND A STOCK 2.3.5 .TAR .ZIP FILE WHICH WE HAVE ON TOP PINNED WITH AT&T AND ROGERS STOCK . JUST FLASH THAT VIA ODIN AGAIN SAME PROCEDURE WAY AND YOU'RE GOOD AND BACK ON 2.3.5.
ALSO AS POSTED BY SOLICE . PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP OF INTERNAL SD CARD IT WIPES IT. THANKS
mod feel free to post this and modify it better for new users. THANK YOU

Which user?? It has only soft and hard bricked 989s

Ok everyone, I am new to all of this..so i hope I dont sound stupid.
I have a Sprint Galaxy s3, and the person I got it from has rooted it and installed a custom rom, etc. I would like to go back to what it was when it was first out of the box, or the stock rom. I am afraid of bricking the phone, as I have never done this before. I am assuming there is a forum post on here with exact instructions on how to do this. Can anyone point me there, or help me out? Thanks in advance!

Yes I would probably do this.
Watching the video now, and following the instructions to click on the links he says to..but when i click on them..it says page not found, on everyone of them.
I agree with Giantjay, it's always a good idea to get as much info as possible before doing anything. Read, read, watch the video, read more, ask questions.
So i found the Odin download, now my question is..where do i download the right TAR file.

I would do the triangle away found here before you unroot http://qbking77.com/how-to-unroot/unroot-unbrick-the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/
Thanks for the help! Kinda nervous, but going to try this.

Something has gone horribly wrong... I was running rooted/stock using the Team Epic procedure for several months now without a problem. I attempted to return to stock tonight using the method posted here:
http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/sprint-sgs3-stock-restore.html
Something has gone horribly wrong. I get the Samsung splash screens but then it goes to a pulsing blue to purple LED and that's it.
I can get it into download mode and bring up CWM to select the ROM, but that's it.
I'm in over my head here, big-time I thought I had it figured out, but apparently not.... Help!!
Thanks, gang!
if you can get into recovery mode this is the best i can think of to do, is go to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099 and download the one for your size phone then copy it onto a sd card, put it in your phone and enter recovery mode and flash it. youll be back to factory.
I've never hosed my phone, but if u can get into clockworkmod recovery, ur good. Did u make a nandroid after u rooted?

Thanks for that... Downloading now. We'll see how it goes here in about 25 more minutes (ugh!) Here's hoping it works so I can get some sleep tonight! Yikes!

I'm still a HUGE rookie... what's a nandroid? (and if I have to ask, I'm sure I didn't...) It wasn't in the instructions from the Team Epic guys...
I have been using Titanium Backup Pro for Root to do backups every few days to DropBox... I'm hoping that will prove to be useful here... If I can get it working again.... Download time is up to 32 minutes now... Nuts!
nandroid is a whole phone backup that you do in recovery.how your phone is, is what the back up will be. and yeah that download time is carzy but sometimes it will speed up.
tb is only app backups really, so after you get your phone running like a champ again, you run tb and re install your apps and their data.
hope it works out for you thou

OK, so once this is finished downloading, what comes next? I'm still a little confused on the whole 'odexed/dedexed' thing... I'm assuming I need to load it onto the SD card (which I can do), plug that into the phone, and then select it from CWM? Or do I need to go back to the stock recovery first using Odin?
Post to let all know how u made out with the download. If u still need help, ur at the right place.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Don't worry about odexed or deodexed right now, after you flash that, you will be back at stock as if you just walked out the store with your phone, factory, then you can start all over,,, that rom/file will make your phone stock.

So far, no luck... It appears that the download aborted after I went to bed. The file was supposed to be 806Mb, but came in at 432Mb. If I try to load it onto the phone, it says, "Can't open /external...(long file name)....zip (bad). Installation aborted.
I also downloaded the MD4 file last night, and that appears to have been successful. It seems to be working properly for the moment. It's mounting the partition which is a good start.

ETA: Looking good.... Got the Sprint splash screen, and now the 'Android is Upgrading, Optimizing app XX of XXX'....
Aaaand, we're live people!! Success! MD4 is up and running, and there doesn't seem to have been ANY loss of data.... It didn't exactly return it to stock either as all my data is all still there, but it does appear to have removed SuperUser, which would mean I'm no longer rooted, correct? It also appears to have gone back to the stock recovery. So to re-root, does the 'Team Epic Root from Recovery' method I used before still work? (i.e. use Odin to install custom recovery, then flash the Team Epic Root from Recovery .zip file)
THanks a million, gang! At least I have a working phone again, with apparently no loss of data at the moment. It'll be nice to have my Root back eventually, so Tasker can do its thing, but for now, it's more than a paperweight!

If I understand correctly, I can still use the same Team Epic Root from Recovery file to install the CWM recovery regardless of which version (MB1 or MD4) I have on my phone, right? Or is there a different tar file I need to use to root the MD4 version?
Sorry for the dumb questions... Very new to this stuff still...
just use the same method you did the first time you rooted and youll be good to go.
soory for the late response but yea, I believe montecarlo's right. Sounds like u used skunk ape's guide for rooting? If so should b no problem. If u used a toolbox, it may/may not have the md4 update?

Got it now. Rooted in just a few minutes... Easy-peasy! Just used Odin like I did the first time.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can just leave the 'return to stock' ROM on the SD card, and if I need to head to the Sprint store for some reason, I can just boot into recovery, select that one, and presto! returned to stock, right?
Thanks again for all the help with the rookie mistakes! You guys rock!!
