Wish I could help you with that. But I can help you with this sound piece of advice, if you manage to get that .zip, DO NOT FLASH IT UNTIL you flash the flash counter removal .zip, so they can't tell you ever rooted/flashed on your phone. After flashing that, than proceed to flash that stock .zip...all the best and good luck to you!

Ask mrx ... he does everything stock he have bases on t989$

Yeah there were like 3 zips... Rom kernel and recovery. You turn just remove the super user after that. If anything you should be fine flashing stock ROM and kernel. No need to go to stock recovery

I can try to make a CWM/TWRP not De-odexed or rooted out of the stock T989 UVLH1 tar file and make a flashable stock recovery, once I get off work.
Edit 1:Uploading Flash-able SGH-T989 UVLH1 stock rom to Dev-host(20 minutes to finish upload) wait for confirmation i need to test it on my device 1st once is done uploading in the mean time i will make flash-able stock recovery and test it also.
Edit 2:Uploading done both rom and recovery, going to download now both and test it.

Ok testing completed, everything works as it should. The ROM zip will update your kernel to stock.
Might need to flash the UVLH1 radio 1st before flashing the stock recovery.
This is how I did it(tested it):
1. install/flash stock ROM 1st.
2. Once installation completed Reboot to custom recovery.
3. install/flash stock recovery.zip.
4. Power off to verified stock recovery.

Going from ics to gb

So basically I was having issues with my phone and ended up getting a warranty replacement. So b4 I sent my old one back I needed to revert it back to stock. I found a flashable zip from zedomax that returned the stock kernel, recovery, and ROM. Only thing it was 2.3.5 gingerbread. I was running infamous 3.1 and did darkside super wipe and cache., well after flashing the zip I got the stock recovery, and part of stock boot animation, well after the stock boot animation then came the infamous animation then nothing. It wouldn't boot up past that.,I ended up using Odin and fixing it and converted stock that way. My question is... Is there a special method going from ics to gb?

Yeah just use odin or a flashable zip to return to stock no big deal

don't use the CWM flashable zips. if you do you should flash the rom and kernel too? you probably did but sometimes it doesn't work correctly. I would suggest flashing via odin to get to stock then wipe data/factory reset through stock recovery. that is the cleanest method to get to stock. the CWM flashing to zip sometimes leave stuff behind from earlier flashes.

[Q] Rooting, Rom, and Kernal Questions

I just rooted my S3 a few minutes ago, and I'm really new to all of this. I'd really like to not brick my phone so I'm going to play it safe.
As far as ROM's go, if you install a custom ROM how do you go back to stock? Also, if you want to install a new ROM and you have a custom one installed, what do you do to insure that you won't install the ROM over the one you have?
What do kernels do? And how do you install/flash them?

Use qbkings videos
But to go back to stock you would flash a backup you made before every Rom flash and to keep things nice and clean you always clear data and cache

Alright, so in order to restore stock I'd have to backup my phone in CWM, then restore it later for stock?

Yes... But there are going to be like 5 or 6 custom roms that are all going to be JB based, most will have even more features than "stock"... So, I suggest and invite you into the development threads...

If you wanted stock jelly bean when it comes out, yes you'll need stock recovery to install a ota update. But if you decide to run a custom rom, then the developer should update it to 4.1.1 soon after the official ota comes out.
Or the developer may update their rom to a leaked version of 4.1.1.
Either way there is always a way to get back to stock outta the box via Odin and go about updating the long way, unless you hard brick your phone.
Sent from Pluto.

If you want stock jb when It comes out you can just flash a Rom that is stock jellybean or a super customized version either way

Cm10 GPS help

I'm on cm10 unofficial alpha ..I tried the temp boot both of the the el29 and the ff18 one at reboot of ROM nothing happened I stayed in cwm. So would I be able to one click el26 get a gos lock and flash my back up of cm10? Or any other suggestions love the cm10 ROM but need GPS thanks for your help and suggestions
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium HD app

Pretty sure you need to go back and get a GPS lock like you said, but then install your rom fresh, not use a backup. You wouldn't want to run a jb backup on a gb setup anyhow, maybe it would be fine but sounds like issues at best to me.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

ok so my plan of action is oneclick el26 get a gps lock once locked flash cm10 reboot and restore my back up ? anyone have any other suggestions ?

Was just reading up about this actually because I switched to cm9 and have no GPS now haha. Seems best way is to flash the temporary el26, start up and get a GPS lock, turn off and it will go back to recovery, then flash back to whatever you were using. Since its a temporary, nothing changes while you do this. Don't have to bother with restoring a backup.

Hmm. Must be a seperate issue, have seen a few posts about it. Well, in that case, if it were me, I would try what you said in your second post and see if it works. Possibly skip the backup part and just rebuild from the fresh from.

NANDROID error

Okay, I used the toolkit to NANDROID backup, 3x 5 minutes apart to be safe. Now that I want to go back after flashing a rom that is force closing eafh restore is throwing an error from the beginning using CWM. Im wanting the stock kernel and rom.
I am aware this was probably user error, nevertheless I need a few pointers.
Thanks in advance,

First pointer post in the right section and answer use Odin to restore back to factory and possibly restart...

Yes, I use Twrp with N8013. But if I'm plan to flashing all time I use CWM which is very easy to use and if I want for warranty all I do restore to stock. Toolkit , Twrp ,CWM are same depend on your experience and your taste.
