Hi. I was wondering how I would go about removing CWM Recovery off my stock s3.
My computer isn't that good and I want to remove it so I can do the jb update. It keeps saying the file signature failed and wont install and I thought if maybe I got rid of CWM it would let me update.
All help is appreciated.

Same issue here. I have CWM Recovery and the device is rooted. Doesn't seem to like the OTA for Jelly Bean.
My device isn't rooted tho. That's why I wanna get rid of it. If I was rooted I'd flash jb. I couldn't get rooted. My computer screen wasn't big enough to click ok in Odin. And when I finally did It rebooted but said it couldn't finish the root.

Update:
Flashed stock recovery. Went to do update and the update got to 24% and rebooted. Pop-up said it failed and to use kies.
Ill try again later and see if maybe a new update cache would fix it.

"Good news tonight for AT&T subscribers, as a number of readers are now reporting that Samsung's update to Android 4.1.1 is now available for the Galaxy S III via Kies. We've reached out to the carrier to learn whether any specific improvements are in store, but it's not like we need to tell you that users will be immersed in the goodies of Google Now and the performance enhancements from Project Butter. Word from members of xda-developers reveals that the update weighs in at a substantial 738MB.

You can also use mobile odin pro and enable everroot. If you maintain root, you can use goomanager from the market to install twrp recovery. Seems like there are a number of ways to do this, I just found this the easiest way.
I downloaded from samsungupdates sites and install de .tar file with mobile odin pro... and i kept root sou if u wanna be stock but keeping root i recommend you this way its easy!

Hey Guys, coming from the Samsung galaxy nexus. Receiving my s4 in a few days.
Just a few question to install twrp:
1.Root using motochopper
2. Install goo manager
3. Install TWRP
4. Funfun
Are those the correct steps? Thanks!

If u have a custom recovery the status will always say custom. Only flashing back to stock through odin will make it official again.

I'm used to my Galaxy S2 I guess. It never said custom. Tried Odin k0ane's stock file. Still says custom. I thought I was going to have to return the phone. It started using hotspot data for all data. I was almost to my 500 meg limit. A factory reset fixed it and Tmo gave me an extra 2gb hotspot data for this month only for free.
What's the difference between custom and official?

Official is all stock factory system. Custom means you altered the system and your warranty is probably void. That's why people try to flash back to stock if they need to get their phone repaired or replaced.
I see. Coming from the galaxy nexus, so much to learn..
Also, where can I get the samsung USB Drivers to do the motochopper?

Take a look ant the N2 and S3 forums - they have threads on returning to stock and i am sure we will see one here - AS SOON as and only when an official Samsung TMo firmware is available.
If you break or brick your device before then you will have to wait before sending it in to Samsung or TMo.

I can't believe sammobile hasn't gotten the firmwares posted yet. Isn't this unusual? Doesn't Samsung usually release the firmware almost immediately?
Does anyone know why that when I download something to my internal sd card and then boot into twrp and try to install it the file is missing in the download folder. Am I doing something wrong? i'm coming from cwm and things are a lot different. Any help would be great thanks

Thanks, I too am on Cleanrom on Rogers. So if I understand what you've done to get back to stock, simply download the official 4.1.2 for Rogers (in my case), install via ODIN and that will remove the root? I found the latest 4.3 for Rogers on Sammobile so I guess once I've downgraded to 4.1.2 I can ODIN the 4.3

Is it safe to say your 4.3 is available for you?
That is exactly what I did... but I still haven't installed 4.3 so I don't know if it will be successful due to the flash counter any way.
Still not backed up yet but once I am I'll be trying it!

You should go back to stock before making an update from Samsung. Some custom ROM don't play well with stock rom and can cause either glitches or either not being able to boot.

Well if you have a custom rom and recovery yes OTA won't work for you. So you will have to download you carrier's rom from Sammobile and install through ODIN and it will give you stock recovery and 4.3 and no root!

I was thinking of simply Odin to 4.3 from cleanrom instead of stock 4.1.2 and then 4.3 my only issue right is I need root for a couple of critical root apps I use. Will have to wait for someone to create a Stock 4.3 root version. Hopefully, it won't be too long of a wait

Im trying to odin my phone back to stock because I want to sell it. Ive tried many times using the latest odin version and the android 4.0.4 file. I read somewhere about something like the bootloader being on 4.3 or higher while the software is still on 4.0 and that is a reason why it is not booting past the glowing samsung logo.
Anyways im just looking for a file that contains The Bootloader and PDA file to go into Odin
Thank You
Was your phone ever running a stock AT&T 4.3 ROM? If it was, you can't just Odin back to stock 4.3 because AT&T never released a complete 4.3 ROM. AT&T updated the ROM to 4.3 via OTA updates.

Is there an Odin file for the stock 4.0.4 boot loader at all?
To avoid bricking you must verify you don't have the 4.3 bootloader. If you're on a lower version, stock FW is I747UCDLK3 4.1.1

Flash again with Odin but do not check auto reboot. When the firmware has been flashed and you see the word reset, wait about 30 seconds, pull the battery, disconnect the USB cable, boot into recovery, do a factory reset, wipe cache, and reboot.
+1 audit13's advice. If 4.0.4 won't work that way, can you reflash the custom 4.4.2 Rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
All you need is a factory reset from recovery. It's a common problem going from aosp to tw roms. Also, check your gps after it boots. If it doesn't work, Google "alternate gps fix xda" and that will fix you up
