I am still new to the forums and flashing ROMs. I want to go back to the stock ROM, but I've seem to have lost my stock ROM I originally set up before I started flashing. Can anyone please direct me to where I can download the stock ROM. Thanks

to flash in odin or one that is just rooted to flash in recovery ?
Flash in recovery, but if using Odin will work better than I will do that.

Start here but without Odin, good luck!
What's wrong with Odin? What are you trying to do (or not do) specifically?

You use Odin once to root and flash recovery. After that, you use recovery to flash ROMs. ICS Roms are a special case since we have no working safe recovery on ICS kernels. Read the link I gave you, read the forums. Read read read.
recovery always sticks unless you flash a ROM or kernel that wipes it. Read the OP for roms and kernels.

not that i want to go back, i am loving this ICS leak, but for those that want to go back to stock 2.3.5 can we simply just put in the rom image in odin and flash in download mode?
figured someone was bound to ask so wanted to get it out there.

not really any help there. rooting is not the issue. didnt know if anything was hard coded into the device with the ics update that prevented anyone from being able to just put the phone in download mode and load up the official odin roms to downgrade.
No, you can use the stock ROM at anytime to flash to GB or back to ICS.
Did you not read the second paragraph of the thread?

Not the ota. But you can still Odin flash the full FW.

Ok thanks. But I'm a little confused on which instructions from his thread I should use.
If you want to use the stock or root66fw, use the instructions for odin.
I know its a little cluttered. Im gona try to reorganize a littl in the next few days. Sorry bout that.

Yes, but nandroid first just in case.
Use the link in my sig for the firmware thread.
Download the UVDLJA firmware, root66 version if you want to be rooted, and flash via Odin.
Thats it!
Sometimes itll hang at boot forcing a factory reset, so nandroid first.

Root should be fine. Its the custom recovery that'll prevent you from even being able to get the update.
You will lose root though unless you use voodoo rootkeeper or mobile odin pro.

Its pretty straight forward actually. There should be steps laid out in post 2 of the fw thread and I believe Theexel hasit in his thread stickied in this section.
If you have any problems let me know, but don't see a reason to retype it all again!

Along the same lines...I just got an s3 yesterday and rooted stock 4.0.4. Used OTA root keeper, downloaded the ota for JB and when I attempt to upstate it fails....I have stock recovery. No idea why it keeps failing. I would Odin the prerooted JB but my wife doesn't want to lose her settings she already set up. Any ideas?

You probably have a custom recovery causing it to fail.
Regardless of how you update you will possibly lose some settings. Its recommended, but not required to do a clean update anyway. But flashing with odin should preserve your settings as well as the ota would. Once they boot up it shouldn't matter as the resulting build is the same.

Depends if you've done anything to your current build.
Cwm will flash it, but I just don't care for it. Caused probs for quite a few people.
But you have to be full stock. No mods, no deodexing, no bloat removal, no modems flashed, etc.
Then you should be able to flash it in cwm.
Its preferred you do it through stock recovery. You can use voodoo rootkeeper to preserve root.

Check the stickies. Flash twrp through Odin, then flash root or pre-rooted rom through twrp.

That has everything you need to gain root. What you do from there is up to you. I've personally used it on both the ICS and JB stock images. Worked perfectly.
Search before you make a new thread next time though. Took me all of 15 seconds to find that when I first got on here.
