Zip back to stock? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an Epic 4G currently on official CM10 mtd, and I was wondering if there is a zip i can flash in cwm to bring me back to stock unrooted (stock recovery etc, too)? I know I can odin it, but I'm just wondering

...Man, you need a custom recovery to flash a zip like that. Simply banishes the possibility of having an all-stock zip.

No. You have to Odin to get the stock bml partition back.

[Q] Flashing custom rom in Clockworkmod

I'm trying to flash custom roms to my phone but for som reason it just goes to the little android icon. I'm on EL29 stock root and attempting to flash EL29 custom blazer rom. Anyone else having this issue?
Sounds like you have a stock recovery. Install a custom recovery via sfhub's sticky in the development forum

Here is a link to the stock el26 with cwm. Use odin/mobile odin to flash.

I have EL29 stock rooted. So I can go backwards to EL26? Also I have clockworkmod recovery which is what i'm using to flash custom roms.

How to obtain root access for official ICS update?

I'm back to stock on Sprint Epic 4G Touch with the OTA update to ICS that I recently had to flash back to EL29 and stock recovery to update to. I was still rooted until I updated to Android 4.0 ICS so now I am totally stock once again. Is there a method to obtain root access for stock ICS and stock recovery as well as flash CWM recovery? Any help is always appreciated. Thanks. If there is already a thread dedicated to this I apologize for missing it.
I suggest you follow the instructions in this thread:

Half way out of a mess..Need help on the rest lost cwm flashing aokp

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.
NEED SAFEST WAY TO DO ALL THS FROM MOBIL ODIN while on this aokp junk
I failed to flash gapps before reboot into the aokp but I knew I could get the market back via root explorer

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.

sent from my SGS2 running AOKP, eh...
When u say don't use it on the aokp rom what do u mean?
If I flash that in Mobil Odin and go into recovery can I still find my original stock ics nAndroid
Or would that have been wiped
All I want to do is get recovery to restore to my stock ics nandroid

Solved thanks for the info
Thanks iniz94

NP, glad to help. What I meant that it is a GB kernel so it won't run on ICS (your phone won't boot up). It's only meant for using recovery
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
.. That was a strange mess.. Certain i was gonna brick ... I almost just flashed the stock ff18 tar but glad the recovery let me restore to ics nandroid

Back to stock with recovery from AOKP?

I wanna go back to stock rooted with recovery from the build of AOKP that's posted on Android Central, and I was wondering that the safest way would be. I was thinking of using the Odin OC of FF18 , then using the Autoroot package to flash the recovery. Is there an easier way?
I'm only going to stock to update prl while I try to find a good SGS3 based rom.

Flash whatever kernel you made the backup with, then restore your backup.

that's what I thought but wasn't sure what about partition sizes isn't tw different from cm11

The only time your phone gets repartitioned is the first time it's upgraded from stock GB or ICS to stock JB... You should be good
