I'm on CM10 and I have a NANDROID backup of TouchWiz, but the problem is that the backup was made with CWM and I recently switched to TWRP. My understanding is that backups are not compatible between the two.
So what I'd like to find is a flashable zip containing stock rooted TouchWiz (for AT&T) that doesn't require Odin. Does such a thing exist or will I have to flash with Odin and unroot again myself? I had a bit of a bad experience the first time around so I'd prefer not to go that route.
Why not just switch back to cwm and restore the back up?
Actually, that occurred to me just after I posted. Unfortunately the cwm backup appears to be corrupt and my phone wouldn't boot after the error! Luckily I had one of the CM10 nightlies on my sd card and was able to get into cwm and it's installing now. Geez, what a pain in the ass!
Go to the development section and download lh9 rooted ROM, and the modem and kernel for it(its in the same thread). Download mobile Odin from play store, trust me just buy it, it will save your phone's life from time to time. Use it to flash the ROM and kernel and modem. DO NOT FLASH LH9 ROOTED ROM USING CWM.

I'm curious why you would say not to flash this with CWM. I did this and it worked just fine.
Also, it's in general section.
Because every now and then after I flash it I don't get boot. So I avoid it by using mobile Odin.

I flashed aokp not knowing cwm would return to stock 3e
So so far I downloaded root exp apk astro file and gapps. I extracted and installed gapps via root explorer.
Now I have the market.
I downloaded Mobil Odin pro.
What's my options now to get a safe cwm recovery or one that I can flash from the phone in order to get some cwm back so I can then nandroid back to stock ics.
Any links to aokp cwm tar file or even a rooted kernel or stock ics rooted rom.

Always flash gapps right after you flash the ROM. But here is what you're looking for: the GB Stock EL26 CWM5 kernel. Here is a link for the .tar.md5 that you can Mobile Odin: http://kernelrepo.chris41g.org/Kern.../Chris41g/Stock CWM/TAR/EL26_StockCWM.tar.md5
This kernel is ONLY for recovery. Do not try to run it on your ROM. Only use it to flash.

When i flashed the el26 i restored my nandroid from that recovery and booted into my stock ics touchwiz which also apparantely had AGAT RECOVERY backed up.. So now recovery is once again agat

You need to flash through ODIN while phone is in download mode. You can get the stock .pit and .tar files from the development forums if you look. Then you can restore the stock software and start fresh.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
You can flash the otas in stock recovery if thats what you mean. But you have to be full stock UVALH2 first.
If you mean one of the roms based on those leaked otas then you have to flash with cwm or twrp.

Ok, first and just fyi, all of the files listed under OTA on that site are leaked, unofficial updates. Each has its own.....quirks. the only officially released ones are above the otas listed under firmware i believe. Only ics 4.0.4 are official builds.
The otas are basically patches, not full firmware. They patch existing files to update them to a newer release.
If you still want to go with the otas there are a few ways to do this.
The official way:
From full stock UVALH2 (no mods, debloating, modem must match, stock recovery, root is ok) boot into recovery and flash.
If previously rooted you can attempt to preserve root using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper.
Mobile Odin method (root required):
Get free Mobile Odin from xda, get full version on play store. (Full version will inject root during flash. I highly recommend this method)
Open Mobile Odin and choose OTA/Update.zip. Select the OTA you wish to flash. If pro version make sure EverRoot options are selected. Do not check wipe data, cache or dalvik. Press Flash Firmware and confirm to start the process.
CWM method (root required):
I have not fone this myself so try to confirm elsewhere the exact steps. Using latest cwm recovery, flash ota file and when asked do not flash recovery. When flashing is complete then flash a cwm flashable version of SuperSu/Superuser. Reboot.
After flashing any ota check for these files and if present delete or rename them. They rewrite stock recovery every boot.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Thats it! If i missed anything please let me know, particularly with cwm method. Thx
Alternatively you can just flash a rom in dev section based on these otas.
Hope that helps! Good luck!

I just tried the OTA update to the newest kernel which failed and brought me to CWM. What do I need to do here?
You must be UVALJ4 to use the ota.

Okay doing that now. Now it seems when my phone is in CWM odin doesn't pickup/recognize the phone. However when the phone is on normally odin detects it.
-----Look Below-----
Going to do a full rundown so anyone can help me here. When I originally rooted the phone I used some type of tooklit (Looked like a green version of MS-DOS). I've always had the stock rom. I've always used CWM to flash different kernels. Right now in About Phone I'm on baseband T999UVLH2 with kernel version [email protected] #1
I'm trying to get Jelly Bean 4.1 as a clean install. Not worried about keeping root at the moment either. I have root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA.tar.md5 downloaded which I am trying to push through Odin. However when I reboot my phone into CWM and connect the USB cable Odin doesn't recognize my phone. I'm willing to try anything at this point as this is frustrating me beyond belief.
You need download mode not recovery.
Same procedure but vol down instead.
Hold volume down, home and power to boot into download mode. Press vol up when prompted. Then odin will work.

I feel so stupid.. Thank you for that as well! (Can I buy you a beer?) Okay I did that Odin is now pushing root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA.tar.md5. After this is done will Jelly Bean be on the phone? Should I wipe anything to get rid of the old firmware/files?
Success! Android 4.1.1 is now running with what appears to be the most updated kernel/baseband! Now should I do any type of wipe to get rid of any old files that could slow the phone down? What happens to the old firmware stuff?

Factory wipe under CWM? Will it make me lose my apps/contact info? I suppose I could always do a titanium backup.
Factory reset wiil wipe apps and user data. Not necessary but I do recommend it when updating android. Just makes for reduced potential for problems.
Reset in cwm or twrp does not wipe internal sd. Stock recovery will though.

If you downloaded the root66 zip file you just use winrar and choose extract. It will or at least should unzip to its own folder. After that just follow the directions to use Odin.
I cant flash a rom and have it work. I have tried several ROMS like aokp, jedi, smooth, jellybeans, etc and they almost always brick.

I did those exact steps and it did not work. i tried flashing pac man rom the last time and it got stuck in a boot loop too. I think there are some files that are corrupt or some temp files somewhere that are preventing a successful flash. my binary flash count was 9. and that was just on this run, ive tried flashing several times before. each time the only way to recover it is hooking the phone up to a pc and using kies to flash back to stock firmware. this sucks.
What version of twrp are you using? I have never had this issue you are having and I have flashed every rom on this forum for our device.

Uh....yeh...not right ...
Have you messed with device partitions in ODIN ??
If so...something is definitely wrong ...
At this point ...you may want to consider a full return to stock and allow the PIT to properly restore your partitions..
Just follow the return to stock guide (sticky )...in the general section ..
Once restored to stock with a corrected flash counter you can begin again using CF auto root as your root method..
It sounds as if you have root issues and possible partition damage...
One other step you can try first is to boot into download mode and re-root using CF...
That may help....but certainly won't hurt anything...then attempt a clean flash again..
If it fails ...then the return to stock and rooting again seems prudent ...g

Here's what I do with twrp when flashing a rom.
Go to wipe menu and then advanced wipe and select dalvik, cache, data, system and internal(optional). I do it three times to make sure. then flash your rom with gapps (if aosp)
