I'm wondering why I can't find a sticky on how to unroot? I would think lots of us restore to factory again, unroot and start over, I'm surprised there's no guide stickied.
That being said - does anyone have a link or guide to returning to stock - or better yet returning to stock/rooted?
My phone really need a reformat...
Thanks!
There is a sticky in the general thread with exactly what you are looking for. Has root roms and other links in it.

Gpogle: no tripping flash counter galaxy s3 at&t. Flash that, then use triangle away and then flash stock firmware in Odin that you find on sammobile.com

I am planning to exchange my phone back to the store. I have unrooted and factory reset but it still shows clockwork recovery. Since there is no odin version of stock rom, how do I then return back to stock recovery? Thanks.
Edit: I think I may have found the answer myself. Will report back.
Edit 2: Didn't realize that there is in fact an odin version to stock under development thread. I just odin'd and everything is ok.
Can you post the exact thread to the stock method? What I've seen so far is what seems to be half axed ways.
Thanks.

it does not.
I actually had to return the phone since they didn't have any left in stock and bought it at another store. I forgot about the flash counter. I have been looking around and don't see any answers to reset it or not count for T-mobile. I think ATT and Sprint have a way to reset it. Can anyone chime in? I will probably start a thread here or in general about it.
Noob here. I can't find this anywhere. I just flashed (or whatever you call it,) to UVALH3. With 4.1.1 came all the bloatware again that I had removed when I had the phone rooted. Is it possible to root UVALH3 as well? I can't find it anywhere. Do I just go ahead and ODIN the same file to do it or has there just been no safe way found yet for UVALH3? Thanks.

thank you
EDIT: Actually I'm not quite sure how to do this. Are you supposed to go into recovery mode and install from external? It gives me a signature verification error when I try that.
OP: for your own good don't do anything else at the moment. I'm on my phone and driving so I can't really help too much but for your own good don't do anything or else you might end up bricked. Make sure you get a reply before you continue. If you don't get one in the next few hours I'll post a reply and walk you through the steps. I can't right now though.
To the op, you need to get back to ics to root and flash the jellybean rooted rom(need a custom recovery)

Well that could have been absolutely horrible, I guess. I think I'll just wait until there is a method for rooting when I already have UVALH3
My friends has a gs3 he purchased on release day and rooted it. The past week he accepted two ota's which broke his root. So I'm trying to root it for him but here's where the confusion kicks in. On sprints website it actually show these updates are old and not new and there's two more recent ones he never got pushed to him. Right now the phone is on LG2 and won't update any further. What do I need to do to be up to date with root. Should I just look for a way to root this build or try updating it. By the way I haven't seen any root methods for this build which is why I'm asking. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds :beer:

Thank you! One more question. I'm reading but I don't see anything regarding data wiped. So does doing any of these steps wipe out all data?

The method he used to root it in the first place should work again. Try that.
Then once it's rooted again go to this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099
Download the file "LI3 STOCK WITH AUTO COUNTER RESET" in the first post and flash the file in recovery. That will put the phone to 100%stock, unrooted, on the latest build.
From that point, if he wants to, he can reroot the phone and install the latest TWRP recovery. After that, tell him not to accept any OTA updates. Come back here to the development forum and someone will have the update in flashable form so that root isn't lost.

Yup thats the most easy way of doing it. you say ur not rooted but do you have custom recovery? If so then re rooting before the flash wouldn't be necessary.
It will not wipe data however its recommended that you do. granted it will probably work just fine if it being installed over top of a stock Rom. Then to keep root/recovery just follow the instructions in the post

I'm not sure if he has a custom recovery but I'm assuming if he was able to accept ota's and install them fine he must have stock recovery. I'll have to check and see a lil later as he's at work now.

Any reason why his phone got these updates pushed back to back? And better yet why did it it stop at LG2 and not push LI3 and the one before that? Those two where his first updates since having the phone and they're mad old lol
Wish you guys had Odin OneClicks like we do for the GS2. Them things are so easy and stoopid proof lol

Sprints update system sucks......As for odin, you select the file you want to flash and click start......pretty stupid proof if you ask me. There is a .tar for the most recent update and the jellybean leak available in the development section.

Yes it is stupid proof but it also makes you have to take an extra step to reset the count. On my phone I just deal with the Odin OC which don't mess with your counts and come rooted then mobile Odin for the rest. Never have to worry about a flash count. But anyways thanks for all the help guys! I'm going to try and get this done tonight. Even though we both going for the note 2 in just a matter of days

Alright so I want to trade my phone in, and the store doesn't check the Warranty Bit 1, only the Custom firmware/rooted flags. I wanted to TriangleAway the flags and restore stock 4.3 ROM.
Does anyone know where I could find stock 4.3 ROM's for Sprint S3? Would all of this work how I'm planning without worrying about bricking the phone I'm supposed to hand in?
I could care less about the Warranty Bit, everything else just needs be reverted and the phone unrooted.
Thanks.
Anyone?

You have to Odin back to it. Google is really everyone's best friend. Just use triangle away first before using Odin.
Just search sprint s3 unroot method

i know. I spent this whole time looking and none of my questions were answered. However, I luckily did find what I was looking for.
1) Stock 4.3 ROM in flashable Odin format
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565972
2) Triangle away to be accepted to T-Mobile Uncarrier program
Triangle away wasn't needed for T-Mobile carrier switching. It only looks for a custom ROM and root. Since it was an offiicial ROM and unrooted, it had passed.
So, I had figured it out myself, mostly without google. No need to assume I hadn't attempted to find it first

You'd be surprised how many do not research and ask ”how do I do this?” when they're answer is just a few topics below. A lot in the tab 3 forums.

I rooted my friends Tmobile GS3 a few months ago and I need to unroot it. I have looked and searched everywhere for the unroot to 4.3 and i cant find it. I dont understand why it is so hard to find, im not a noob and i had the same problem with my sprint GS3 till someone posted the file for me. I would grately appreciate it if someone could post me a link to the file and a step by step, from the things I have been reading it seems like there is more to do than just flash the tar in Odin . So just to be safe if someone can add a step by step for me that would be great. And if necessary stock recover? Thanks guys Hope someone can help.
Just flash the stock tar in odin, or in your superuser app there should be an option to unroot.. But I would go the Odin way and just start fresh

If rooted and on 4.3, knox is likely removed, so if you want to be 100% stock official, just Odin flash the 4.3 firmware and thats it. Factory reset if you have any other issues beyond.

I cant seem to find the tar anywhere, could you possibly post a link for me?? And you said if i flash the 4.3 stock unrooted tar it resets knox automatically??
Sticky thread in development.
Knox isnt reset, as you calked it. Its just included in the firmware so you will be fully stock.
