Unrooting - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello, so I have a LJ7 tar file that I used to unroot my phone before but now I have rerooted on the MD4 firmware. I've been looking for a tar file for my version but the file link seems broken. Basically I want to know if you can use a older firmware, basically downgrading, to unroot.
Thanks

Make sure you pick the right one for your phone's internal storage size.

No worries. I'm just giving you a hard time.
Like someone mentioned above, just use ODIN to flash a stock rooted ROM and all will be right in the world again.
Do you know exactly how?
Need Infos.
I'm beginner and trying to respect your words.

In the development section read the instructions how to flash via odin.
This should get you through the process and give you root.

Unzip the .7z file you downloaded from that thread. You should get a .tar file. (Might be .tar.md5, cant remember)
Flash that with odin.

Mobile odin back to stock.

I am stock and rooted. I woke up this morning with a CONGRATULATIONS!!! message saying there is an OTA for me... I tried to update and it wouldnt let me cuz im rooted...
I looked into it and found I could use mobile odin to unroot...
I have the app (mobile odin) I do not have the tar file. Is there a link handy?
With maybe a how-to?
Thx in advance

You can get all the FW and itas here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687
Just to clarify, Mobile Odin won't unroot you, but it will reinject root during flash so you stay rooted.
Also you can get the ota if rooted but if you don't have stock recovery, modem and everything else it'll fail.
Using Mobile Odin and the fw in my thread will work. Just make sure the Everroot options are selected to keep root.
Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper can temp unroot you so maybe that's what you were thinking of?

Well if your just trying to unroot, go into your root program and have it uninstall itself. SuperSU and SUperuser both support the ability for them to fully uninstall themselves.
Will just need to install root via recovery again once your updated.... Pretty easy
Wellllll... I got a super root kit from this site rooted just fine but removed it frim my computer avg said it was infected.
Is that what you mean forgive me for being nooby
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Mobile Odin should support internal sd.... I guess you have the free version from his thread here? I didn't realize it didn't support internal...sorry bout that.
In that case just plug into the computer and use pc odin. You can use regular fw or MrRobinsons root66 fw which is pre-rooted. You can find his thread in development.

I am only focusing on your phone. IF your rooted, then you will have an app in your app drawer called either superuser or supersu (That is your root ) Open that and click full uninstall, then your unrooted.
When your done with the update, you can use Odin (Windows Version) to flash a custom recovery and then install the supersu.zip file located in chainsfire's thread.
I have superuser. I cannot find an option within the app to do a uninstall.

Why bother with OTA when you are rooted...there are a lot of custom ROMS with good potential
Well. With my galaxy s1 I did the whole flashing a new rom every week thing.. none of them worked properly... every rom had at least one problem wether it was wifi calling or gps or battery issues... I dont know convince me to start doing it again with jelly bean right around the corner

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.

I tried it a few hours ago and it doesn't work.
I flashed via ODIN N7105XXALJ5 onto my i317. I didn't flashed the entire original file N7105XXALJ5_N7105OLBALJ1_N7105DXALJ1_HOME.tar. I first un-tarred it and deleted the modem.bin file and the created a new tar file containing the rest of the files.
After reboot, my i317 booted back into recovery due to errors with all the file systems, including system.
So I rebooted again and went into download mode and flashed via ODIN TWRP 2.3.1.3 which I got from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987541
From there I restored my NANDROID backup and all was OK.

Unroot help!

I was thinking, I rarely use anything that requires root and I am thinking of just going back to stock. However, the only firmware I have I'd the original tar file that I had when I rooted it in November and used when I had to do a warranty replacement. How would I get a newer version/update?

There's a sticky in android development on firmwares.. There's prerooted and official ones you can flash with Odin and MD5 is the latest

Suo, if I dl the md5 and flash it as normal, I'll lose root? Or should I do it through odin and use that md5 instead of the one I have?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Depends which md5 you download.. If you just download a stock ROM like stockarama, you flash through recovery, if you download a stock image then you will have to flash it with Odin.. The one you flash through recovery will probably have root, the one with Odin won't, as long as it's not a root66 image, but you can also just unroot the stock ROM, so up to you
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
They are all flashed in Odin.
If you want root, use the root66 firmware. Otherwise use the regular stock fw.

internal storage
Hi can someone tell me a few things:
Does flashing take up your internal storage and if so if phone is put back to how it was brought from store will the internal storage go back to that also? Personally I don't think it makes a difference as I'm trying to explain to my son that I think apps take up most of your internal storage.
Anything that goes on the /data partition can affect your internal storage. So if you install an app, it will take up some of your storage space on internal.
Flashing is different. Roms for example flash to the /system partition. Unless the dev includes apps they specifically put on /data this will have little effect on you're available storage space. The only way it does affect it is system apps store their data and dalvik cache on the /data partition.
Flashing mods and other items usually will be the same as flashing roms in this sense. Some will include data that takes up your user space, but most will have little, if any effect on it. There is usually little reason to flash anything to the data partition as you can generally just install normally.
