How to update stock rom? need to unroot? or remove CWM? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hello XDA, I followed that guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726088 to root my Videotron S3. Worked like a charm and have no problems. I got an OTA update Friday and the update failed. I figure it might be because i have CWM. I would like to update to Jelly Bean very much...How do i proceed? Thanks

Jelly bean isn't out. But flash stock recovery.

The OTA update is not for JB yet. The update is probably just a new radio or modem or base of another ICS build.

[Q] Q's for Official Stock ICS on T-Mobile USA

I'm on T-Mobile USA, and have stock rom (2.3.6, Baseband T989UVKL1, Kernel 2.6.35.11, Build: GINGERBREAD.UVKL1). This phone is completely stock right now.
I just got the notification about the OTA, which I assume will be to ICS.
Questions before I accept the OTA update:
1. Will I be able to root after installing the official stock ICS update?
2. If so, would I use the ODIN method, or some other method?
3. Other than bloat, are there any known issues with the stock ICS rom.
4. Should I install CWM before accepting the OTA update?
Basically, I've tried looking but there doesn't seem to be much information about the official stock ICS update, probably because it is just starting to be rolled out.
Never mind. Just re-saw this http://www.tmonews.com/2012/05/t-mobile-rolling-out-galaxy-s-ii-maintenance-update-no-ice-cream-sandwich-yet/ and realized this update likely isn't ICS yet.

how to flash the original jelly bean?

A few weeks ago I flash the jelly bean before the official ota update from this threat
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849
By that time it's still 4.1, not 4.1.1
But recently, it really piss me off by having the update notification frequently, and the problem is I can't do that with this ROM with a little bit of modifications. Can someone teach me how to flash it back to the normal one, or 4.0.4 and let it update via the ota? Thanks.
read threads on how to fastboot..... fastboot back to 4.0.4
get OTA to 4.1.1
or flash a 4.1.1 ROM.

[Q] Should I flash Stock Recovery in prep for AT&T JB OTA?

Hey Guys Running CWM on Stock, Rooted ROM.
Looks like the AT&T JB update is probably coming down the pipe soon. What do you plan to do for the OTA? I'm considering flashing stock recovery so the JB OTA will go via the normal OTA process and then try to reroot with Voodoo.
Are others doing the same or are you guys just going to wait for a CWM flashable stock JB update? I'm new to the S3 so not sure what the best strategy for a clean update with root is.

I have the SGH-I747M in Canada and got the OTA on Dec. 2nd automatically. I postponed the install so I could first do a nandroid backup.
When I tried the OTA install, CWM was unable to handle it and gave me Status 7 errors. I have seen a post on how to get around that, but essentially it does not allow you to run the OTA as an OTA. If you would like to see the OTA proceed normally, the simplest way would be to revert to Stock first.

Best way to go from CM10 to rooted AT&T Jelly Bean ?

I am currently using CM10 on my rooted Galaxy S3 AT&T phone. Can someone tell me how I can get stock AT&T Jelly Bean with root access?
The root no flash count thread in development has been updated to rooted at&t jellybean. No data loss. Flash with Odin. It's what I did.
There are a lot of ways to do this. Flash the root injected file using odin. Flash the TW version using odin and use kies to update. you could try going right from CM10 to the JB update.
I was on rooted TW and I updated via Kies, then just flashed cwm, installed super user zip, and updated cwm to the latest version. Everything is working even google wallet following proper installation.

need to restore phone but how do I keep jelly bean ?

I hope someone can help with a dilemma I have.
I need to flash back to stock rom and do a factory reset on my AT&T SGIII - this I know how to do . However, what I don't know is if the links I've found for tar files for a stock restore (like the one posted here)are for the ice cream sandwich version that launched with the phone, or the newer jelly bean version.
If it is the older version, once I'm done restoring it back to stock and factory settings, will I get an option to update to jelly bean thru AT&T?
Or do I need to find a stock AT&T jelly bean file to flash? If so, where do I find that?
any help would be appreciated. Thanks

this shouldnt be posted here check the general section for going back to stock
Did you update your phone to AT&T 4.3 stock rom via an OTA update? If you did, do not flash any rom that includes an older bootloader as the flash will brick your phone.

No. Ever since going to the Sonic FreeGS3 Resurrection rom, I have been on the 4.1.1 version. I've never been to a more current version than that since that was the last version update for this rom and I liked it just fine.
Even though I'm not wild about having to return to stock, I am at least excited about (hopefully) being able to go up to the latest version released by AT&T. But I wasn't sure if I need to flash a stock 4.3 version AT&T rom (or even where to find that) or if I could just flash the original released stock rom and then be prompted with OTA updates to go to the newer versions.
Any thoughts or input is greatly appreciated.
The latest version of the AT&T ROM is 4.3 which can be done via an OTA update or Kies from a stock 4.1.1 AT&T ROM.
Any reason you need to return to stock? Personally, I would not go near 4.3 as it's not required to install KK ROMS and, once on 4.3, rooting, etc. becomes more complicated.

I have to for work. That's the only reason I'm going back to a stock rom. Plus I want to trade my phone in after a few more months once my contract is up.
