You will lose all data to get back to stock unloackable. Don't cry about it if you choose to do this.
First you need to run LGNST to get back to stock.Here's a link to a great write up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082084
Then after your phone has gone through the process you will be stuck at the boot animation.
You need to have adb installed.Run
adb reboot recovery
Now in stock recovery you have to wipe everything!!!
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
reboot system
after a short period of time you should boot into stock zv7,8,9 depending on the bin you use.
I used zv7 bin to do this and waited(forgot) to wipe till after running LGNST you might be able to wipe before hand but it slipped my mind.After you do this you can wait for a JB flashable ROM or keeping playing around how ever you like.

Great guide! I had to do this late last night (FreeGee issue). After I factory reset, I had a thought: I know stock recovery can support adb. While in recovery, if people need to get certain files off of /sdcard partition, the following should work when plugged into a computer, yes?
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/DCIM C:\Backup\Pics

Upgrade Path
I am coming from a Droid 4 and I remember when the leaks dropped, we were taken off of the official upgrade path.
Do we anticipate that ZVB will not be on the official upgrade path to the official release, and will we need to downgrade in order to receive the official update when Sprint/LG decides to roll it out?
By that time they'll have an unlock method figured out and you'll be able to flash a new update that way.

Im stuck at this. I tried everything before i seeked for help cause usually my question are already answered but i try running adb on both my mac and windows both cant detect my device. On my windows i try reinstalling the drivers multiple times. I look into device manager and it shows the device there but with a triangle and explanation symbol. adb just doesnt read my device. Any advice? I did lgnst obviously thats how i got into the bootloop cause i totally forgot to wipe data and system etc. Any help would be much appreciated.
Try booting into stock recovery by holding volume down and power until the capacitive lights flash. You will not be able to abd any data out, but from there, you can clear cache and data. Starts you with a phone fresh like the day you bought it.

I am willing to pay $50 to the person who can help me solve my problem.
I have a successfully rooted T-Mobile T989 that I have been using for 2 weeks. I decided to un-root the T989 using the procedures listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319830
Then installed the :
SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax.zip
When I rebooted my phone the ROM does not appear to take at all - instead it restores my phone to a state it was in on 10/20. The phone also keeps rebooting itself over and over.
When I install the SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax.zip from recovery, it reboots 2 seconds after it says "Setting Permissions"
I have tried wiping everything, factory resetting but to no avail.
hold volumen down or up + power
go back into download mode
use odin to flash back the root
with root you can fix most of those issues
in CWR select the option to Fix Permissions
use wipe factory reset, to wipe out everything
then reboot a couple of times to make sure it's stable
once it's confirmed, then you can try to flash the un-root back into the phone

If you read extensively and follow directions to a T there's no way possible you can brick your phone. I don't know about you guys but I read about how to root, how to unroot, etc so you save yourself from headaches. Some people probably jump into things without reading and that's where issues show up. I even watch videos to get an idea if I'm not too confident.

That's how everyone should do it. Its almost fool proof to do it that way. When I rooted my first Android phone (G1) it took me about 3 days to finally do it. I read extensively and watched videos etc till I built up some confidence and got the job done with no issues at all.

Thank you for the quick reply - unfortunately this process did not work. Although I have root access, when I delete a file through ADB and reboot the phone, the file re-appears. I tried re-flashing other ROMs but when I reboot, the phone returns to a state it was in about 1 week ago...not sure what is going on.
Saw the cautionary note about bounty's - I had the best of intentions but will refrain from offering them again.

Hi guys,
I'm a bit new to the galaxy S3, I'm not too familiar with most things. I rooted my phone a few weeks ago with ODIN. This was to try to get the Google Wallet to work. After numerous attempts, i gave up, and figured i would unroot my phone because of guarantee reasons. Today i went into recovery mode to wipe cache and davlik, then upon reboot, the phone stopped working. I would get the vibration, the Samsung logo, then the Galaxy S3 logo, but that's as far as it goes. I can also go back into recovery mode, and probably download mode.
I just downloaded TriangleAway to reset my flash counter, but that wasnt compatible with my phone. I also got mobile Odin, same result. I have the Videotron Galaxy S3 SGH-T999V. The only changes i have made were of the build.prop, which I have restored to its original state, though the phone still thinks its a Galaxy Nexus.
Any ideas of what i could do? I wouldn't mind wiping all my data and going back to how it was when i first bought it without the root.
Thanks guys
Forgive me if i am not in the proper section

I've heard about thus happening to phones without a stock rom, but not just rooting. You could try using Odin to flash a boot loader, kernel and rom. That should unbrick the phone. There are lengthy directions on xda for that. Let us know what happens, and good luck!

Unzip and flash the .tar.md5 file with Odin. This will rewrite your system and other partitions.
After rebooting it can take a few minutes at the Samsung logo so just let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
If it gets to be much longer than that, hold power till it reboots and as soon as the screen goes off let go of power for a moment and immediately press and hold power, volume up and home. Then release when you see the blue text flash at the top of the screen. This should get you to recovery. Wipe cache, dalvik and factory reset then reboot again.
No guarantees itll fix your problem of course but this will give you a fresh, full stock system. So hopefully it does fix uou up.

Go to Play Store and try acquiring Titanium Backup. It can only be used if the user is rooted. Try using it and if it doesn't correspond then you're not rooted. If it does then you're still rooted. I also believe if you don't have Superuser or SuperSU on your phone, then you're not rooted since those two are the "gateway" between apps and system.
Dont worry. Youre not rooted anymore. Flashing that fw in odin rewrites the system and other partitions to be just like it would come out of the box. If you're still concerned about it look for the file "su" in /system/bin and /system/xbin. If its not there youre not rooted.

Just so you know it may be a preference but does not mean the alternate TWRP does not work just fine. I would suggest you going with it and you have to understand its just a recovery and honestly both should work fine and the same. Unfortunately it seems that TWRP does some things with less stress than CWM. A lil more reading up on this in the various threads and you will probably find the debates about this.
also which CWM are you using if 5.0.2.7 you have to use wipes if you are using the newer versions no wipes are needed. TWRP it does not matter

Easiest thing would be to put a ROM on an SD card and flash it in recovery.
Other option is to Odin back to stock in download.
Edit.....
For future reference here is task's full wipe video to avoid wiping something by accident.

With your ROM being wiped your computer won't recognize your phone unless you are in download mode using Odin to go back to stock.
If you don't have a SD card adapter to put in your computer to put a rom on you'll have to Odin back to stock.

Flashing stock is pretty much your only option. From there, you can flash a custom recovery and then CM10.
So I have been helping a friend get rooted, unlocked and flashing. This is the same friend whose phone decided to croak midway through flashing lifeless a couple of weeks ago, sending him to the exciting boot loop scenario.
We used LGNPST, removed the battery, got him back up, rooted and unlocked (he is on ZV9), we get into TWRP, flash Imperium this time, all appears to go well and Imperium starts to boot. It gets through the first few screens of the boot and then shuts off again. Bootloop.
Is this potentially a partition issue? Is it some flaw in the FreeGee unlock method?
We are confused and would really appreciate any assistance anyone could provide.
This might not help, but it's something I'm starting to wonder about our phones.
Was the phone fully, or at least mostly, charged?
I'm asking because it seems most of these problems are happening to newer phones that don't have a good set of battery stats.
My only suggestion is if you can get into recovery or download mode, either restore a backup or LGNPST again.
Edit. FreeGee shouldn't be the issue, because you installed Imperium

97% charge at the start of the flash.
Last time the charge was fairly low, and that's what we assumed the issue was.,
So can you get into recovery? Hopefully you made a backup. Download mode?

Download mode is a yes. Backup was made, I have to LGNPST tonight, but I cannot understand what was done wrong.

The other two remain rooted, one running Lifeless v.11 and the other running Imperium.
So to answer your question, yes, I am curious if maybe the error in the flashing of the rom is occurring due to something jacked up in his partitions.
I've noticed you haven't had the best of luck with LGOG's.
Others in the know could probably answer better, but I don't think you can mess up a partition by flashing ROMs. But even if it did, LGNPST should fix it.
Did you try to restore your backup?
We do have a finicky phone with these LG's. I know some people have had to LGNPST their phone 3 times to get root to take. For whatever reasons.
I know I'm not helping much, but I'm trying.

I think the issue here is that he is on ZV9. I had the same issue on both me and my wifes LGOG's until I did a LNGPST back to ZV8 and rooted with no issues at all.

So a hardware reset did the trick, no LGNPST. Popped it open, disconnected battery and imperium fired right up.
And for the record, I have had great luck with the OG. My friend and wife have had all the bad luck.
