Hey,
I need to return my T989D for repair to Telus, but my USB is broken (will not work with PC/ODIN).
Is there a CWM stock rom of Telus I can flash that will erase CWM at the same time??

The stock, unrooted ROM that you are looking for can be found here:

Unfortunately you will have to use ODIN and flash through the PDA option to make it work.
You will also want to use Mr.X's flash counter reset which can be found below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1578184
This can be flashed through CWM Recovery.
Probably not the news you were looking for, but I hope that helps.
Were you able to get it going?
I have made myself a flashable stock Telus ROM. PM me if you still need it.
In the market there is am app called Mobile Odin.

I'm currently running AOKP JB5 on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and my USB port crapped out. If I wiggle it, I can eventually get it to charge but at best it just does the ba-dink... ba-dunk... in Windows 7 and never mounts. I have CWM installed. I am facing a $299 fee if I return this phone with a custom firmware on it and only now did I realize that the stock firmware images aren't packaged the same way every custom firmware I've installed has been. I can easily transfer files to/from the phone over wifi with AirDroid but all tutorials for going back to stock firmware involve USB connections. Why aren't official firmwares ever packaged like custom firmwares? I had (incorrectly) assumed I could just use CWM to flash a stock firmware, relock the boot loader, then unroot the device and I'd be set (although I guess the recovery would still be CWM in that scheme...)
I need options for getting my Gnex back to a stock unrooted firmware with a locked bootloader. T-minus 4 days until I have to have this phone in FedEx's hands. What are my options guys?
lock your bootloader with: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker
then use mobile odin to go back to stock: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro

Two follow-up questions.
How can I replace CWM recovery with stock?
Lastly (and possibly most importantly) where do I get (or what do I do to) stock ROM images to work with Mobile Odin? I see official factory images for my phone hosted by Google, but they're in .tgz format and it looks like Mobile Odin is wanting it in some other form... I understand I'm working with a handicap having my USB port busted, but flashing back to a stock firmware seems WAY more difficult than it was to root and flash in the first place... any help is greatly appreciated.

You need an Odin file, and should be one in the dev forum for vzw.
It is more difficult because you don't have a functional usb port. Otherwise you could easily flash the stock images and re lock the bootloader

Hi all, I've rooted a few verizon s3's with the following methods.. First time from ICS using rootdebugfs tool from one of the great guys here. Then my second phone took the JB update. So I had to ODIN to a stock VZW image and then run debugfs tool. The last few I've just used ODIN and flashed a sweet root injected stock JB image then ran EZ-Unlock and EZ-Recovery and put what I want on there.
So here lies the question. I'm doing my Grandpa's phone i747. Can I just Odin CWMrecovery to the phone and flash root.zip from clockworkmod? He is on stock JB? Am I doing the long method?
Any input is appreciated thankyou

you've got the right method. here's a link to same way. i attached it because inside it includes the .tar and all that for download. cheers

also, once it's rooted, i'd download rom manager and update his cwm version (6.0.2.3 is current)
I have a Galaxy S3 AT&T i747 Variant, and it is hard bricked, can't even turn on.
if I am able to get my phone Unbricked and into download mode, what will I do from there?
I have the 4.3 Bootloader I believe.
I know there isn't any odin fw for this right now, but my question is can I use T-Mobiles 4.3 Odin file?
At least to re-root, and install CWM, and reinstall my bootloader & Correct rom?
Or will this just not work at all....?
Thanks, sorry for the annoying questions lol.
If you can get into download mode, you could try and install a custom recovery to install a custom ROM.
I don't recommend flashing a T-Mobile ROM because the hardware isn't the same.

If you use the T-Mobile Odin files you will absolutely need a jtag. You cannot flash bootloader for a different variant it equals jtag.

Hey, check out this post, its for T-MOBILE but if you get the requirements for the I747 and not the T999, this should work. Only way to do it without a Jtag, and that may not even work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439367
Ive never done this or anything. I was just wondering because TMO has 4.3 odin files but nooooooo not AT&T
Thanks for all the replies, Ive tried every last debrick image at least 8 times, Im sending it off Thursday for a JTAG
Hello, I am currently rooted and have CWM 6.0.4.3. installed. I'm on CM11 but want to go back to stock.. Is there an easy way to keep root and go back to stock. Want stock for a few functions that ROMS dont seem to be offering but can keep root and CWM ??
Thanks.
Which phone do you have? You could try flashing a pre-rooted stock ROM via Odin. Then use Odin to flash CWM.
Bt its better to firstly install ur stock rom and then again root it as it takes no longer than 5 mins

Ok perfect, thats what I was looking for. Phone btw is S3 - d2att - SGH i747) Sounds good to install the stock rom and re-root.. I'm sure its here but I have searched everywhere to find a tutorial on this and I cannot find a straight answer.
Would you mind giving me the steps or pointing me to a thread that explains how to and has the files in need to download ?

Do you know if there is a step by step on this somewhere ? I dont mind going back to complete stock.. I can just re-root and flash CWM after.
OR
Maybe you could just answer the bigger question : the reason I want to go back to stock is I need to use MHL/HDMI which CM11 doesnt support. I dont want to go back to stock, I would rather even go to another ROM that supports mhl/hdmi.. but if I have to go to stock, than so be it.?
Were you running the stock AT&T 4.3 ROM before you switched to CM11?

Yes, I bought the phone new and was running stock, Canadian Rogers version and had changed to CM10, then to 11.

Since you installed a custom recovery, that would have tripped the Knox counter which voids the warranty. It's not a problem if the phone is working properly.
Did you update to 4.3 or did it come with 4.3?
You may be better off installing a pre-rooted ROM.

It was quite some time ago but I believe I was on ICS 4.0.. and switch to CM from there. Im not worried about the counter for warranty, that's expired on my unit anyways. I just want to be able to use MHL/HDMI function.. so if fine with flashing pre-rooted.. or stock.. or a different ROM that support MHL/HDMI. Can you recommend the easiest route ?

I asked about 4.3 because the 4.3 bootloader cannot be downloaded. Flashing via mobile Odin will not touch the bootloader or modem.
You could try a pre-rooted rom and then flash a custom recovery via Odin.
I use Philz Touch from here: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2att

Ok thanks, I will do that. 1 thing I'm not quite sure of is the bootloader situation ? In the first tutorial there is a note : Flashing a prior bootloader can hard/soft brick your device. How do I know ?
I see the steps as:
Extract tar file you downloaded.
Use Odin, put phone into download mode [with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ], connect to computer and open Odin.
once in odin click the PDA field and select the tar file
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.
click start and when done let phone reboot.
If you just want a stock, rooted phone with no custom recovery, no plans to flash custom roms, etc. then you can stop HERE.
For my situation, is it just that easy ?
Before flashing, verify the version of your bootloader.

OK I have made an effort to go read and figure out how to find out what version of bootloader on my own.. But i cannot find ? Any chance you know... And could help?
You mentioned your have the i747 and Rogers. Do you have the AT&T s3 (i747) or Rogers/Bell/Telus s3 (i747m)?
What is the most recent stock ROM you had on your phone?
Hey. I got the i747m. As for what was the last stock ROM I had, can't say. I know when I bought the phone it was ICS and I had received and update to jellybean.. But them went to cm10. The tutorial I followed told me had me back everything up, which I did. Have it in a file somewhere on my comp, would that tell me ?

If you are flasjing back to stock you should flash back to the same baseband/bootloader that came stock on your phone.
I'm looking for a stock rooted zip for the sasktel i747m (MF1) that i can flash in CWM....I need to go back to stock to fix a data issue that ive encountered through flashing these new d2lte builds...
Does anyone know if a cwm flashable stock rooted rom exists for Sasktel's i747m with baseband MF1 ???I already have the Odin flashable stock rooted zip but don't have a laptop handy until tuesday....And im pretty sure i cant flash that zip in cwm recovery....

I have not seen a stock mf1 ROM that can be flashed in CWM. You could use mobile Odin to flash back to stock and then flash Philz Touch via desktop Odin later.
OK, so back to my question.. If I have the i747M and bought the phone with ICS.. does this help.?

Hey there Audit, Sorry to bother you again, I just dont know how to move forward from here and neeeeeed some help.
I have been reading for days and days have not found a straight answer for my issue and I dont want to just go ahead and start flashing when I dont know if its the right method ?
I dont know how to get back to stock from where I'm at, I dont know how to figure out what bootloader I have (you asked me)
I have found a couple links on XDA that I can follow, I'm just not sure if they apply to my situation ?
This is a pretty detailed response/tutorial, but I dont know if I can just go ahead with this or not ?

If you are sure you have the Rogers i747m and you have never loaded a stock Rogers 4.3 ROM onto your phone, you could use desktop Odin to flash a pre-rooted 4.1.2 ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426.
Flashing the pre-rooted 4.1.2 ROM will return the phone to completely stock, wipe out all installed apps and data, and you will have root. I do not recommend flashing the Rogers 4.3 pre-rooted ROM from the link.
Once you are able to boot into the phone and set things up, you can flash Philz Touch from Odin which will give you a custom recovery on a rooted stock 4.1.2 ROM.
