So I'm getting a warranty exchange and need to get back to stock. Since I don't have access to a laptop or anything I'd figured I'd flash one of the stock unrooted roms. The only thing is will be to get back the stock recovery. My question is if I flash an ics stock rom, then to the update from the phone to jb, will that install the stock recovery? I think i read that it does but I just want to double check. Thanks

I think you'll just lose root and still have the custom recovery but in not 100% sure.
Also don't forget to use the triangle away app to reset the flash count.

You need access to computer and odin to flash stock.tar. reflash stock backup you still have custom recovery. Also double check how many counter you have.

If you try flashing stock without Odin not only will you still have a custom recovery, you will still have a flash count. The only way to accomplish what you need is via PC and Odin.

Damn I don't have a laptop. I remember having a zip file for my s2 that was an unrooted stock rom and installed the stock recovery but I haven't seen anything like that for the s3
Sent from Flip's S3
I'm afraid not. The thing is, even if there was it would be pointless because booting to a custom recovery to flash the stock zip would trigger the flash counter.

What about Mobile Odin? Not sure if it trips the counter or not though.

Step One .- Flash Stock KERNEL with CWM. Which is here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2510030/kernel-stock.zip
Step Two .- Flash Unrooted Rom with CWM. Which is here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2510030/SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax.zip

Step Three .- Odin Stock Recovery. Which is here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2510030/SGH-T989-Stock-Recovery.tar
You should be fully STOCK now. Follow the steps and don't skip any.
Good luck.....
Flash this rom thru cwn, it restores back to stock unrooted, and installs the stock recovery.

I just flashed this since i am getting a warranty exchange and everything is back to stock unrooted. Except for the kernel, make sure you flash the stock kernal first

From what i've heard, none of these solutions will get you back T989UVKL1 true stock. Both of the above posts will put the phone back to and 'older' unrooted version of stock T989UVKID.
I guess if needing to return the phone back to T-Mobile, only assuming that's what you want, it should work, however if you purchased the phone (like me) with the upgraded firmware pre installed, and you wanted to "wipe the slate clean" and start fresh with prue pre installed updated stock - the above 2 posts won't do it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Yes but if you go back to T989UVKID shouldn't it give you the OTA update?
That should do the trick

You should be fine, but if you tested other kernels you'll have to flash stock kernel first. Then your nandroid.

i have 2 questions,
1. can i just root a stock rom for sgh-t999 to my sgh-t999v?
2. anyone have the procedures to unroot my sgh-t999v
thanks
Flash a stock rooted Rom. T-Mobile one. That seems to be ok as long as you don't flash a T-Mobile radio.
Not sure if triangle away works on the Canadian version.
Maybe someone else has tried it.
All I had to do to return my last one was flash a stock rooted Rom.
I don't think they check the flash counter

If the Rom has some T-Mobile bloat left on it get it off there.

I can see you have a Videotron Galaxy S3. They don't check the flash counter. Let's just say I know this "by experience". As long as it's just rooted and you don't have any custom ROM, you should be fine. But indeed if you can at least hide the SU app it would be a good thing.
You could also perform a factory reset in CWM prior to going to the store, as they will make you do it anyways (and you actually don't want them to see the CWM screen)prior to any exchange. It's company policy.

It's still probably safer to just use Triangle Away to get rid of the flash counter

If your trying to go back to stock, just download the stock rom from sammobile, it has everything you need like stock recovery, and then just flash it via odin.

Thanks!
I'll test it tonight, wouldn't look good to download a 700 mb file at work!
I tried a few firmwares, but for some reason they all said "unsupport dev_type" when trying to use odin to return to stock non root (from stock rooted) In the end, the easiest way to remove root was to just let Kies update my gs3 to Jelly Bean (sgh-t999v). Painless, no data loss, took about 30 minutes with the firmware download.
Good luck
You will likely also want to triangle away. I won't link because it's extremely dangerous software that requires you to read up on the risks.
But that will reset your custom flashes assuming you have some on your counter you can check easily by going into download mode.
i recently lost my stock rom backup.. deleted it off clockworkmod touch by accident, so i only have the cm10.1 nightly i was running when i deleted it.. now i'm assuming i will lose root if i flash the stock firmware through odin? is there another way to get my stock rom back without losing root (and cyanogenmod rom backups)?
hey guys im having trouble with triangle away on my sgh-t999v with the baseband version: T999VVLUFNF1
after I used triangle away and I go into download mode it says:
current binary: Samsung Official
System status: official
qualcomm secureboot:enable
Warranty Bit:1
Bootloader AP SWAEV: 2
Although the current binary and the system status have changed the warranty bit is still at 1
Please help!
There is no way (and never will be a way) to change the Warranty Bit. Sorry

I guess im screwed for warranty..I thought it might be cuz I have a custom kernal installed that triangle away didnt work..but thanks anyway and sorry about posting in multiple threads, im kinda new to this
No problem, thats why i mention it, so you know for the future.
Tecnically, with the warranty bit tripped, the warranty is void. However, i have seen a lot of posts where people sent it in anyway and their warranty was still honored. Its not a guarantee, but there is hope it can be used if needed. The good thing though, is you most likely will never need to use it anyway!
Hello i have a simply question about returning to stock.I want to go back to stock so that i can do the Rogers OTA for JB, im currently on Kyan Rom 1.5 with ktoonsez kernel. My question is if i flash a stock rogers rom via odin will that flash back the original wifi and bluetooth drivers? Any help would be much appreciated.
Flashing back to stock via Odin will replace everything, including your recovery.

Yes it should flash back everything. Just make sure you do a factory reset from 3e after the install just to be on the safe side and to get rid of left overs. All should be fine after so.
Ok might be a dumb question but how do you get in the 3e recovery on stock?

I used an app triangle away but it didnt work for my phone... which app or what should i do to reset the flash countrr??

What Rom are you on? If you ever had official jelly bean installed, I think the bootloader has been updated to block triangle away.
I was able to reset my counter by Odining back to stock rooted ICS (it downgrades the bootloader too) and then running triangle away. Hope this helps.

I've been using the official jellybean ROM and then changed to cm10. DO i need to unblock the bootloader?
If i downgrade the Rom, and erase the flash counter, anyway won't it's count goes up if i flash custom ROM again?
I'll try to unlock bootloader. Thank you

From my understanding you need to run triangle away, reset to factory, and downgrade to ICS (and stock recovery first). Then reflash custom recovery. Do not use JB from Samsung. ONLY ICS. In theory this should prevent your flash counter from being tripped. I have not tried but everything I read seems to indicate that this is the way to go.

Yea that's exactly right. There are a couple background apps that spot the custom recovery. There is a huge discussion about it over in the tmo forum that dives real deep into all of this

I'm probably missing the obvious here, but for the life of me I can't find a thread that tells me exactly how to flash stock recovery for my 4.3 rom.
Need to get back to stock to use triangle away to reset the flash counter to send off for repair.
It doesn't help that every time I've tried to search xda today I get a "search not available" error.
You have to flash a stock rom through odin AFAIK to get stock recovery You will then have to root it to use triangle away then unroot through super user to get back to complete stock. Not 100% sure triangle away has been updated for 4.3 though

Thanks, after several hours of reading I eventually reached the conclusion that a stock rom through Odin was going to have to be the way to go. Bit of a pain because the download of the full rom from sammobile took over a day! (on my 20mb connection) but got there in the end.
I was hoping there'd be a way of flashing just the stock recovery, but it seems not.
