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.

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 I find guides and the info seems outdated or bad links.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

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

Any help is greatly appreciated.

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??

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

Hey thanks for the quick reply!
Yeah I followed this guide at a blogspot website.
It had me flash it with WICKED v10. It didn't work so now I just want it back to normal and I will purchase a sim unlock code from somewhere.
I followed another guide on youtube on how to get it back to stock which I followed.
For the most part it took off most of the Wicked stuff but on the lock screen it still says WICKED and there is an icon with utilities for it, So I am guessing it is not completely removed??
I tried using the phone reset function but still it remains??
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Just out of interest, if you go to Menu > About Device, what does it say for Model Number, Android Version and Baseband Version? These will help determine the next steps.
Thanks.

Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687.
On the first post, you'll see the firmware under ***root66***. Click "Show Content" to get the listing of zip files. Under the T999 heading (not T999L), grab the zip file for T999_UVDMD5 - Official JB Firmware - Latest JB 4.1.2 Firmware.
Once you have that, scroll down to the second post - it will tell you how to flash that file via Odin (as well as download links in case you don't have Odin). This will return your phone to stock everything (including recovery) but with Root injected into it so you can flash a custom recovery after the reset. It will also upgrade you to Version 4.1.2.
Good luck.
--EDIT-- You'll need to go to the second post to the part entitled, "How to Flash the Stock Firmware" and the sub-heading "Using Odin".

You followed the Wrong Guide. You follow the Root66 Thread. Since you don't even want your phone to be rooted, you may want to download the Stock firmware from Sammobile.

I did flash with ODIN the stock firmware but as stated it still says WICKED on lock screen and in apps there is a control panel for it. So it is still not all gone. Just want the phone as it came in box in first place. The link you gave me is very confusing. I know a lot about many subjects and can learn quickly, but right now I just need a guide that step by step tells me how to do it.

Hi All,
Good Day!
I have an upgraded Android 4.2.2 for my Samsung Galaxy Wonder GT-I8150 but somehow I just don't like the way the battery drains faster. I would like to revert back the changes I did, I want to downgrade back to 2.3.6 Gingerbread.
I used Odin when I upgraded my phone to 4.2.2 and just followed the tutorial in the internet sites and downloaded the necessary files to upgrade.
Now I am currently looking for the tar file for 2.3.6 but for now I have no luck because the hotfile site was already shutdown. But I am still hoping to find one.
Here are my questions:
1. Is the procedure of downgrading is the same with Upgrading?
2. If ever I could not able to find the tar file or the image for 2.3.6, is it possible to use the image that I backed up when I was upgrading to 4.2.2? If so, Can you give me the details or procedures on how to do it please?
Any replies are highly appreciated.
Thank you.

I just have a problem on that thread, I can't able to post a reply due to the reason "New members (those with fewer than 10 posts) are not permitted to post to development-related forums."
I would like to request to them to have a mirror for the stock ROM for Philippines since Hotfile is not hosting anymore.

What you mean is to flash back to samsung's stock ROM which is gingerbread 2.3.6? If that so, read the following thread for information:
[HowTo] Flash a firmware with ODIN on Samsung Galaxy W(I8150)
Samsung Galaxy W Stock Firmwares
Note: Before flashing stock firmware, be sure to do clean installation (pristine)

Yes, boot to recovery (CWM) then wipe data / factory reset, go to "mounts & storage" and format /system, format /sdcard0 (internal storage) then turn off your phone and flash stock firmware via odin.
