You need to Odin back to stock. Factory Reset on CM10 is not going to take it back to the stock ROM.

[Q] Still have Bullet Kernel even when i unrooted back?

So i unrooted my phone back to stock and the funny thing is i dont have the stock kernel. i still have the bullet kernel.
What happened?
How can i fix it?
How did you unroot it? Sounds like you just flash the rom, you need to flash the stock kernel too. You also need to flash stock recovery

kernerl
i went into recovery and wiped data and then installed zip. SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax. ..
now i cant update to 2.3.6
you can install the .tar file thru odin. that will give you the stock kernel back

you need stock recovery to do OTA updates. that file only gives you the ROM
I believe you can update through kies too, or flash one through odin.
but the safest way to do OTA update is to have stock everything (rom, recovery, kernel)
there are people who seem to have done the ota update even with some custom stuff.. but not recommended
thanks for the kernel...
now my computer or kies is not reading the phone. :$
how did you go bout installing it?

If you're still rooted with a custom recovery then try this

If not, then do you have a link to the rom you tried to use in Odin?

Downgrade from CM11 to samsung 4.3 stock (with knox)

Hi,
I have a Sprint CDMA galaxy s3 device (of course) that had samsung stock rom 4.3 with Knox.
i rooted the device and disable knox with SuperUser, and then installed CM11.
now i want to go back to stock rom (downloaded from Sammobile).
do i need to worry from brick because of the knox? because it is disabled now, or is it ok to flash the stock rom via odin?
thanks in advance

I did this from CM10.2 last month and it worked for me, now i'm running cm11.
thanks, but it says DO NOT FLASH THIS IF YOU HAVE UPDATED TO MK3 (4.3)!!!! IT WILL CAUSE A HARD BRICK!!!
i had 4.3 before CM11, so i guess this is not relevant for me

what if you do a wipe and install cm10 then you can do it from there.

Still wont work. i did that and fully bricked my device. you cannot install cm10.3 or lower on the new baseband (MK3). CM10.3 and lower require MD4. Flashing the MD4 Baseband will Hard Brick your Device

I installed cm 10.2.1 coming from cm11 yesterday, it booted up the first time and worked great but after reboot it was stuck on Samsung screen, now i'm back to cm11, but i'm thinking of trying to go back to stock using odin. I get bored a lot I guess lol, and I can't have fear of bricking my devices if I'm flashing roms, have to learn somehow!

if it is interesting for someone, i flashed official stock 4.3 via odin successfully
You can flash the stock tar through Odin or even use dsxdias android kitchen to customize it so you don't have to flash the whole tar file and lose custom recovery or root.

Unless I misunderstood your post, you are flashing a stock recovery in Odin? Have you tried flashing an entire stock rom tar?

This is where I always find what I need

If you are already on 4.3 MK3, then that is the file you need to download. Anything before that will brick your phone. If you are on 4.1.2 MD4 or earlier you can choose any one you want.

Thanks i have no idea what AOP i beleive it is 4.12
I will try to flash the latest STOCK ROM 4.3 and see if i can get it working.
if i use MK3 and my phone is 4.12 you saying it will brick it ?
just want to make sure i pick the correct ROM can you kindly clarify which ROM i should flash first
thanks
If you flash 4.3, you cannot use Odin to go back to a previous version, that's what will brick it. You should flash 4.1.2. It does not have the Knox bootloader.

ok thanks well i just flashed SPH-L710_MK3_Full Restore_UNROOTED (Compressed Archive)

thanks for your help -
MK3 build so no going back but it should be all good correct ?

thanks again great support
You can still use Odin ONLY for 4.3, you can flash anything in a custom recovery though. Glad you're up and running again.

If you still have all your setting, flash the stock kk nk2 ROM and then take the ota.
