I've searched around and found only 1thread on returning to stock and it seems to assume you are running a modified stock rom, and uses a few different apps to acheive Stock status. I'm looking for a stock odin file that I can boot into download mode and flash and be returned to stock. Does that exist? I'm currently running CleanRom 4.8 with CWM recovery. I'm trading my Note 2 in tomorrow for the GS4 and need it back stock! Hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks!
Kind of a confusing post... Just flash the stock file in odin...

When you FLASH a STOCK file in ODIN your system status will NO longer say modified, not sure what you were reading but they were incorrect.

Exactly what I'm looking for, is that 4.1.1 or 4.1.2? Thanks in advance!

Awesome thanks! I'll flash to that and then do the update either OTA or through Kies!

I rooted my phone yesterday using the toolkit from the development forums. I created a backup of my stock ROM before I flashed anything new but apparently I messed that up b.c trying to restore that, the toolkit told me I have no restore files. Anyway I flashed the unofficial cm10 build and I am having some radio issues, so I wanted to go back to stock until a more official build comes out. I have tried doing that through the toolkit a few times but it continues to fail.
Looking around online I found the stock ROM from Google and dl'd it (mysid-imm76k-factory-98d21321.tar is the file) I am pretty noobish when it comes to flashing stuff and i have never seen a .tar but I found that Odin can flash .tar. so my plan was to get the odin app flash that file and hope I did everything okay.
A couple questions: is this going to work okay? Do I need to flash kernels or radios or anything else or is this a complete return to stock? Will this keep me rooted and unlocked?

Any chance you could explain what odin is/.tar files are? And how they are different?

No such ROM exists, as the Sprint GS3 has only gotten updates up to 4.1.2 (and without the Premium Suite). The International GS3 has also only gotten updates to 4.1.2, but it did include the Premium Suite. A lot of developers around these parts were able to create mods for various features of the Premium Suite, but the "official" stock Rom has not gotten them (obviously).
Here is a link to the latest Stock Rom (rooted) from Freeza. It is flashable in Custom Recoveries. I don't have the link to the Odin flashable stock 4.1.2, but I'm sure CNexus will be by shortly with the answer.

If you want to return to 100% stock (no root, stock recovery, etc.) you can follow qbking's tutorial on his website. He also has the links to the "official" Odin files. I think, though, that they only go up to LJ7, so you'd have to run the OTAs in order to have the most updated "stock" experience.
If you have a custom recovery installed and want to go back to unrooted, stock MB1, you can also check out this billard412's thread on the matter. He has recovery-flashable files that will return you to 100% stock. Just be sure to read all of the instructions before you flash anything.
I have a quick question, though... Why are you so insistent on using Odin? Did you keep the stock recovery? And if you did, I'd like to hear your reasoning behind it. I'm quite intrigued by those who root but don't want the custom recoveries.

The answer is simple, even with custom recovery I always had problems with installing custom recovery roms and never had issues with Odin roms. It is just me I guess.
So I used stock ROMs from the link above and flashed them with CWM, I had to patch them a bit since I removed some system apps and it would not flash without patching the update_script.
Funny thing, the android version and build version didn't change but kernel and baseband versions changed as expected.
Since I've observed both MA6 and MB1 updates going through and (for MA6) even updating apps, I assume not only kernel and baseband got updated but for some reason that part of system info didn't change.
That info is stored in the /system/build.prop file. Check the contents with a root explorer, could be a bad download

On the phone that file indicates old android and build versions.
How do I view the build.prop.p file that is in the update itself?

Extract the zip you flashed and open the zip_extracted/system/build.prop

If you mean the one that is on sdcard that I used for flashing then that one has only /patch/system/build.prop.p which is a binary patch I assume and the /system of the zip has only CSCVersion.txt and then a bunch of subdirectories.
Ok then, at this point it doesn't really matter. Did you want to stay on plain stock rooted or flash a custom rom? Flash your custom rom now, or stay on stock rooted and edit all instances of the build number to show "MB1" instead of what its showing right now
Maybe you could attach the portion of the correct build.prop MB1? That would make my life a bit easier thanks!

Hey guys,
I'm trying to go back to a stock Touchwiz ROM from CyanogenMod 10.2. My only problem is, I can't Odin back to a stock from because the only Odin compatible file I have is 4.1.1 which my phone will no longer go to since my baseband was updated after trying a former 4.3 ROM.
Can anyone link me to a 4.3 ROM that I can flash in Odin? I'm asking because most of the ROM's I'm finding that are 4.3 require you to be on a TW ROM before flashing their ROM. Thanks.

No you don't have to be on the stock rom to use that, but the bootloaders are for 4.3 so if you haven't updated yet this will update you.
You can flash any rom you want to as long as you do not mess with the bootloader you will be OK. I do not know if this work on anything besides an at&t phone using it on anything else is done so at your own risk just the same as using it.
What about the recovery? any way to get a stock recovery image?
Hello, I am currently rooted and have CWM 6.0.4.3. installed. I'm on CM11 but want to go back to stock.. Is there an easy way to keep root and go back to stock. Want stock for a few functions that ROMS dont seem to be offering but can keep root and CWM ??
Thanks.
Which phone do you have? You could try flashing a pre-rooted stock ROM via Odin. Then use Odin to flash CWM.
Bt its better to firstly install ur stock rom and then again root it as it takes no longer than 5 mins

Ok perfect, thats what I was looking for. Phone btw is S3 - d2att - SGH i747) Sounds good to install the stock rom and re-root.. I'm sure its here but I have searched everywhere to find a tutorial on this and I cannot find a straight answer.
Would you mind giving me the steps or pointing me to a thread that explains how to and has the files in need to download ?

Do you know if there is a step by step on this somewhere ? I dont mind going back to complete stock.. I can just re-root and flash CWM after.
OR
Maybe you could just answer the bigger question : the reason I want to go back to stock is I need to use MHL/HDMI which CM11 doesnt support. I dont want to go back to stock, I would rather even go to another ROM that supports mhl/hdmi.. but if I have to go to stock, than so be it.?

Since you installed a custom recovery, that would have tripped the Knox counter which voids the warranty. It's not a problem if the phone is working properly.
Did you update to 4.3 or did it come with 4.3?
You may be better off installing a pre-rooted ROM.

It was quite some time ago but I believe I was on ICS 4.0.. and switch to CM from there. Im not worried about the counter for warranty, that's expired on my unit anyways. I just want to be able to use MHL/HDMI function.. so if fine with flashing pre-rooted.. or stock.. or a different ROM that support MHL/HDMI. Can you recommend the easiest route ?

I asked about 4.3 because the 4.3 bootloader cannot be downloaded. Flashing via mobile Odin will not touch the bootloader or modem.
You could try a pre-rooted rom and then flash a custom recovery via Odin.

Ok thanks, I will do that. 1 thing I'm not quite sure of is the bootloader situation ? In the first tutorial there is a note : Flashing a prior bootloader can hard/soft brick your device. How do I know ?
I see the steps as:
Extract tar file you downloaded.
Use Odin, put phone into download mode [with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ], connect to computer and open Odin.
once in odin click the PDA field and select the tar file
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.
click start and when done let phone reboot.
If you just want a stock, rooted phone with no custom recovery, no plans to flash custom roms, etc. then you can stop HERE.
For my situation, is it just that easy ?
Before flashing, verify the version of your bootloader.

You mentioned your have the i747 and Rogers. Do you have the AT&T s3 (i747) or Rogers/Bell/Telus s3 (i747m)?
What is the most recent stock ROM you had on your phone?
Hey. I got the i747m. As for what was the last stock ROM I had, can't say. I know when I bought the phone it was ICS and I had received and update to jellybean.. But them went to cm10. The tutorial I followed told me had me back everything up, which I did. Have it in a file somewhere on my comp, would that tell me ?

If you are sure you have the Rogers i747m and you have never loaded a stock Rogers 4.3 ROM onto your phone, you could use desktop Odin to flash a pre-rooted 4.1.2 ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426.
Flashing the pre-rooted 4.1.2 ROM will return the phone to completely stock, wipe out all installed apps and data, and you will have root. I do not recommend flashing the Rogers 4.3 pre-rooted ROM from the link.
Once you are able to boot into the phone and set things up, you can flash Philz Touch from Odin which will give you a custom recovery on a rooted stock 4.1.2 ROM.
