[REQUEST] CWM Flashable Stock (Rooted) Rogers ROM and kernel

Could some kind person possibly back up and upload their stock rooted Rogers ROM and the CIQ-free rogers kernel in a CWM flashable format? I'm having some issues with a custom ROM, and I don't actually own a Windows PC to use ODIN to flash back to the the rooted rogers rom in the 'How to root your captivate glide' thread, so I'd really like to be able to use CWM to get back to stock to see if the issue is my phone, my kernel, or the rom.
Edit: I tried Heimdall, but it just constantly 'Fails to initialise protocol!' on me, so that's a no go.

i second this request, im fortunate to have odin to flash the rooted stock rom CarpeNoctum provided but a CWM-Recovery version so we can do this on the fly

Hey fellas just moved to this section from the Inc s since I sold that phone and what a nice phone it was.So I got the Samsung glide and thanks to all the people here I rooted and installed the cwm and now I am ready to get my hands on a nice custom rom.
So now I am gonna backup my Rogers Samsung glide and upload it somewhere for the peeps above who where requesting it.
So keep an eye om this post for the download links.
Ok so I backed up my stock rooted rom and there is more than on file in there so someone tell me if I should upload all of them or just certain ones.
And also where is better to upload files by the way cause I have not done it in a while.
Cheers!
Edit:
Here is a link to my backed up stock rooted Rogers 2.3.5 rom.

Will rooted stock rom with CWM get JB update OTA ok?

If my S3 is stock rom but rooted with cwm recovery loaded, will I be able to get the AT&T OTA JB update once it rolls out with no issues? I understand I might lose root, but is that it? I know it will be a couple more months, just want to be sure the phone will be able to get this with no issues when the time comes.

From what I understand, you need the stock recovery in place for OTA updates, otherwise they will fail. Which makes sense.

Ok that makes since, so closer to go time I can just put the stock recovery.img on there right?? Is it that simple?

flash to stock via Odin, so yes...
-Ryan

Or you could just wait until the update drops and somebody posts a stock rooted version and update it through Odin.

Ok so have to flash the stock rom itself and not just the recovery. I have only really used an older Galaxy S1 to mess with flashing and stuff and never cared about the apps and everything, just would put a rom on there and when needed put it back to stock(borrowed it for a couple months). So if I do a titanium backup of apps+system data I can flash the stock rom, I assume root again and then restore the apps? let it update and Im done, or assuming the stock At&T JB rom is available on XDA I can just flash it on there, root and restore from titanium? Those are the 2 options if I want to stick with stock right?

Right, but it's not usually recommended that you install apps+data with TiBu; better to just install apps only.
-Ryan

Got ya, I do a backup with apps and data to be safe, but you can just restore apps only from that right?

You can. Though could also just let the Play Store redownload your apps for you.

Do you want to go back to completely stock rom and recovery? With also the option to maintain ROOT?
If so see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769

I mainly just want to be able to take the OTA
Root is easy once I am on 4.1.2 I believe it is

Then I would stick with the stock rom and flash the zip found in that thread. It will revert your phone completely back to MC2 stock and reset your flash counters back to 0. Youll be prompted and asked if you want to keep SU# as well. I went back to that as well. Stock with root was good enough for me and didn't have the need for all the extra bells and whistles and going flash crazy to keep up with everyone's rom bug fixes.

Yeah I found that stock rooted is fine.
I always hated touchwiz. But this phone works so well with it that I feel like I take a step back whenever I run AOSP.

I hear you. Touchwiz grew on me though coming from HTC sense which people hated as well. At least the above method will bring you back to the base stock. Make sure you backup what you want and need to an external SD card though as it will completely wipe the phones internal storage.
Hope this helps. Have a good afternoon!

[Q] Unroot and get AT&T S3 back to stock

I rooted my phone then used CWM RomManager to make a backup image of the rooted stock rom. Then put KitKat on the phone. Since then I have restored the Rooted stock Rom. Now every time the phone boots I get the Upgrading Android message and the phone is kind of buggy. I am having trouble finding instructions anywhere on how to get it back to complete stock. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Thanks

What stock AT&T rom were you running when you created the backup?

Oh I guess I should have mentioned that huh.. it was 4.3

Have you tried flashing the 4.3 update.zip file you can find in the developers forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387423.
I feel like you ought to be able to copy the 4.3 zip file to your SD Card and flash via recovery and it should work, although I haven't tried it so I can't be sure.

i need help updating from 4.1.1

ok ppl.. I really need some help.. ill try my best to describe whats going on.. I bought my phone a couple years ago.. rooted it, install custom recovery straight out the box and never looked back... I have never updated bootloader or modem... and am currently using dlk3 as both... I wanted to clean my phone, and finally update bootloader, modem, and everything.. so I odin back to my origal stock.. android version 4.1.1 thinking I can just manually do the ota update.. but when I update it says um currently all up to date using 4.1.1 I tried using kies, but that also says im up to date....
so now im lost... I know you should do them in increments but I don't know wich order.. and I know when you get to a certain point theres no going back.. kinda why I never updated... I really want to get everything updated to the lattest version of stock.. latest bootloader and everything...
I thought the last update was 4.3.. so where did the NE4, NJ1, NJ2 come from?? wich just confused me even more?
oh, theres a 4.3ota thread.. basically said odin 4..1.1 wich I have.. then install 4.1.2, then 4.3 from a sdcard.. but my phone always had problems with sdcards.. and nowdays wont read any sdcards.. so that's not an option for me..
any information is appreciated

Is the system completely stock? Did you do a factory wipe using stock recovery after flashing 4.1.1? Did you try removing your sim card and moving the date ahead by a couple of days?

Yes.. everything is completly stock again.. including stock rocovery.. yes I did a factory reset with stock recovery after flashing 4.1.1.. yes I tried removing the sim.. and yes I did move the date ahead a few times searching for update

If you just looking to update the bootloaders and modem without going through the OTA, this may be a place to start: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387423

Thank yoh audit13.. thats the thread I was yalking about in my OP.. that requires the use of an SDcard..
I shoukd have RMA this phone when I had a chance.. within the first year, it corrupted corrupted 3 sdcards in the forst year.. so I just stop using them.. they still read nust fine in my pc.. but now my phone wont even read them.. so im really at a loss

Sorry, I didn't notice the part about the external sd card in the thread I linked. I don't have the i747, I have the i747m and the stock 4.4.2 ROM is available for mine.
I think Kies has been replaced by smart switch.
Not sure what else to suggest other than copying the files to the internal memory and trying to flash the update that way.

i did see something about smart switch, but didn't update thinking it wasn't needed.. maybe that's my next step..
I don't see flash from internal with stock recovery.. just ADB, cache.. wich I don't know what they are.. or external.. those are my 3 options
could this be my problem? befoer odin back to stock.. I used triangle away.. used it before with success.. but I notice when im in download, flash counter says 1 and everything else says official.. I also notice when my recovery, my android guy is laying down with a red triangle..
any information is appreciated

The android laying down is fine.
With the external ad cards, are you using the phone to format the cards?

but what about the flash counter reading 1? I would still think it d/l but not install.. that I could fix if I could get that far.. lol
I use to format the sdcards in my phone.. but after a few months they become corrupt.. cards read just fine in my pc, but phone refuses to see them.. I been trying to get them to work formatted as EXfat.. NTFS is my second option

The best format I found is using a computer to format them as fat32.
The download counter is not an issue. As long as as you don't see the word "custom" in download mode, you should be fine.
You may just have to just wait and try the Ota update every few hours.

forgot about FAT32.. I do remember reading that was best...
and im running out of options, so I think your correct on the OTA
I been running TWRP and liquidsmooth 4.4.4 for ever.. and it was great.. but I wanted to run there lollipop.. but it wont boot on my phone.. I was told its because my bootloader is so old.. I also remember readin awhile back that updating bootloader can solve SDcard isuues.. but I have no clue about that..
thx for the suggestions audit.. ill make sure to thank you

Let me know how fat32 works. I am curious myself.
The latest custom Roms definitely need a kk bootloader and modem, preferably the latest nj2.

not meaning to butt-in. audit13 knows his stuff. :thumbup:
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"

no.. fat32 no go..
and im on jellybean..
couldn't I just odin 4.1.2, then 4.3.. but im having problems finding none rooted versions.. that I would trust.. I was hoping for OTA.. all that odin makes me nervous.. to many opportunities for things to go wrong

Just to confirm, the phone is running 4.1.1? There is no Odin i747 flash for 4.1.2 as far as I know.
In order of preference, I like OTA, Odin, and then flashable zips because OTA upgrades are the safest in my opinion as long as the phone is running stock.
ATT never released a full firmware for the i747 beyond 4.1.1 which explains why it is not available on sammobile.com.

yes, I am positive everything!!! is stock 4.1.1.. it was what was on my phone when I got it.. always made sure to have a stock image on hand.. and I never messed with bootloader or modem.. and i have verified there ucdlk3
I agree on OTA being safer.. but would you suggest I do now?? I really want to get this updated... 4.1 blows coming from 4.4.. lol I could always just set it the way I had with an easy root.. but I really wanted to try lolipop

All I can suggest is flashing the bootloader and modem in tandem since you can't seem to get OTA updates.
Check out the general thread. There is one for mjb, ne4, nj1, and nj2.
Do you have to flash them incrementally? I don't know as I don't have the i747.

as i understand it , you do have to flash incrementally. thats how i did mine from mj2 > ne4 > nj1. and had no problems.

Any place to download sbf files?

Samsung s3 doesn't use SBF files. Is that a Motorola format?
