Once you odin it to your phone, all your data will be gone as well.

I am not savvy at all in this.... There are no step-by-step instructions on how to do it?
What if I just hit the factory reset on it now?
It will just delete data, but the phone will still be rooted and still have the modifications to the system, if any. Just flash a custom recovery and then flash the correct rom from the link above. It really doesn't take long.
BY THE WAY, if you are selling it you should go activate it in the store instead of shipping it off, as that's the only way to get all your Sprint PCS info off the phone

Looking to completely return to stock.
ATT-SIII
Currently on Stock JB, rooted with CWM installed.
Can someone give me instructions to revert completely to stock? I find guides and the info seems outdated or bad links. I dont want to screw this up. I used Triangle away to reset the flash count to 0. Thats it.
Anyone offer advice?

once you have it reboot into download mode hook your phone to your computer and run the program when it is done reboot into recovery and do a factory reset

So, the unrooted is what I need? As in, I want it to be unrooted afterwards. Correct?
Correct

Hi, I wanted to revert completely back to the default factory ROM after a custom ROM give me trouble. I tried to do 'factory reset' and super wipe but it does not work.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks. I checked Sammobile for firmware but there is many version from many countries. Problem is that I bought an imported set but Im not sure which country it is from.
Also, is there any instruction on doing it on Odin? Most video that I checked online are blurry and there is no step and step guide

Last question though, which firmware should I download? The last thing I want is a bricked Note 2. Behind my battery, the spec as follows:
FCC ID: A3lGTN7100
SSN: N7100GSMH
Made in Vietnam
You can flash any ROM
for better language and store support, you can flash ROM for your country.

I also have a N7100GSMH. I am looking to put this back to stock firmware to sell it. I am looking at downloading the local region at http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N7100 but I am not sure what region code is for the US.
hey i got the same question here, right now im on paranoid android root and everything, but if i ever wanted to go back to stock, as far as i have read, the proper way would by just installing the official firmware by odin right? of course after unrooting the phone and getting the flash counter back to 0 right??

How do I go back to complete stock again?
I'm a consultant... ask me anything... I'll run away.

flash the stock root66, run triangle away, factory reset in recovery, flash the untouched UVALJ1 Odin.
I would never follow a guide from somewhere else than XDA, most of those sites use XDA links without giving credit or support if something goes wrong.
long story short: I screwed up my D2CAN (Telus) with a D2ATT recovery, flashing a ported ROM from a Sprint S3 (MSG_Chubz ROM)
Now if somone wouldn't mind sharing some knowledge on how i can go about going back to complete Stock, i'd be forever greatful...
I am hoping to return to stock using Odin, and then want to Re-Root so I can flash stuff safely again.
Can someone suggest how I can go about doing this, without bricking my phone?
So in a nut shell: Would i basically Flash the (.tar) file I used to root my phone in the first place, with Odin?
Then after that, restore, or re-download the recovery of my choice, or is it a tad more complicated then I'm thinking?
Your thinking is correct. Flash the correct rooted carrier firmware, boot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache. Then proceed with a custom recovery via goo manager or rom manager. Make a backup

Yes, simply flash that in ODIN. It happened to me on my D2ATT. All I did was flash in ODIN and everything worked perfect on Stock again. NOTICE thought that this will most likely unroot your phone, or at least that's what happened to me.

Not if he uses a rooted firmware tar...like I mentioned already. You must have used unrooted stock. I understand that you're trying to build the 10 posts that you need to be able to post in the development section, but please don't post in a thread just to post. Cheers
All I needed to do was flash the proper modem for 1747m (d2can), and now phone calls and texts work perfectly again.
Thanks for the suggestions and help everyone.

Just make sure you choose the right file (16gb 0r 32gb). It returns your device to stock out of the box condition...
Don't forget to thank him.

I will it doesn't matter if I'm rooted right?
That will unroot your phone and bring it back to the factory state. I always wipe everything before and after for good measure.
