Went to JB, want to go back but stuck on boot now

I recently went to a Jellybean ROM and would like to just go back to stock for the time being (rooted if possible). I've flashed the stock rooted .tar from mrobinsons thread. Get the samsung logo, the at&t animation, and then a white samsung logo that pulses blue, and a pulsing blue LED.
I've found a stock PIT file and tried to use that in ODIN with no luck. Also downloaded a stock md5 file from sammobile for this device and tried flashing that.
Whats the best way for me to get back to an AT&T ROM?
Thanks, wasn't able to find any real info as far as being stuck at this particular point in the searching/reading that I did

USE UR PHONE DL THE ROM U WANT FLASH IN RECOVERY...MAKE SURE U HAVE NEW CWM OR TWRP
WHY U TRYING TO USE ODIN? U ONLY NEED ODIN TO FLASH RECOVERY

Hey guys, same thing happened to me. I was on JB roms and was really fed up with all the issues and i've decided to go backt o tstock. I had a reflex of going through odin as for my other Galaxy S 2, it was the way to revert back to stock. Now i'm also stuck on logo, i also just confirmed i lost CWM. So i dont know what to do...i dont have custom recoevry anymore, and i tried to flash stock unrooted rom with no success. Any suggestions?

Never mind, i went into stock recovery, did a factory reset, wiped cache and it booted me back to the OS

How can I remove twrp from my s3...???

It seems to be blocking the update videotron is pushing..
Thanks.

Replace it with something else

It'll have to be stock recovery for it to even download to the phone I'm pretty sure.
Only a few options I can think of.
Get a stock VLALE6 recovery and install it.
Flash the stock FW and then update.
Or just flash the updated stock FW.
Has it already downloaded the ota?
It should be in /cache/fota/ if it has. It'll be update.zip.
If it did, I can help you get it installed as is. Make a copy of the update.zip if you can btw.

Here's the link to the updated FW VLALH2:

If you want you can try using Mobile Odin. Download the LE6 FW and choose to install it in Mobile Odin. You can deselect everything but recovery and flash. Then you should be able to get the ota.
You could also pull recovery.img from the FW re-tar it and flash with pc odin.

Ok, thanks Doc, I think I understand. I'll give it a shot in the morning.

Flash this stock recovery with Odin. http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS3/SGH-T999/stockrecovery
And this is the stock rom which is also flashable in Odin. http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS3/SGH-T999/StockROMs.net-SGH-T999_TMB_1_20120523140229.zip

Always good to have another resource, but two things real quick...
He can't use this FW. Its for the T999 but since he's on Videotron he will almost certainly have the model T999V.
It does not say what build either the FW or the Recovery are. I'm guessing they are both the original build UVALEM, but it really should specify.
Thanks anyway man.
@OP
If you do have the T999V like I suspect, use the links I gave you a couple posts up.

Its hard to say, I rooted my phone successfully, then using Odin i tried to flash a rom using a guide i found now Im stuck with this.
I was hopeing to put lighting rom on or something "fast"

So after you rooted it did you boot it up and it worked? What kind of file was the rom that you were trying to flash using odin? You should install a custom recovery, I prefer twrp and it's very easy to install. And what is this lighting rom? Never heard of it
And what guide did you follow to flash a rom in odin?

I didn't boot up, it wont boot now. im not sure the file type im a noob. sorry i cant tell you more. im at the download mode screen should i try to flash a rom?

You may need to try and use odin to put the stock firmware back on and root it again. I don't think you can flash zip files using odin. You use a custom recovery. Search YouTube on how to root your phone and install a recovery. If I understand you right, you rooted it and immediately tried to install a zip file using odin which you can't do.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004650
This thread has the factory firmware with root already in it. That should work. Follow the instructions and make sure it boots up before flashing any roms. Then search on how to install a custom recovery, how to make a backup, and how to flash a new rom. There are plenty of directions or there and resources to help. And YouTube really helps.

i might have jumped the gun odin say it passed no failures. but how long dose it take for the phone to boot seems to be staling on the start of when it says Samsung

Go to the market and install root cheaker....and if you are rooted then go to the market and get goomanager, hit menue install open script recovery, , then that should install a custom recovery to your device...you can access it by turning phone off then holding volume up home then power till samsung screen shows.. then on e twrp boots hit backup, and back up to sd...onnce thats done then,,,,, u need to read some more:beer:

If you unsure what a back up is then, personally I don't think that you should be flashing anything! Imho
Think you should do a lil research b4 you break something...
Sounds like your rooted, having CWM on there.. I prefer TWRP recovery.
But to make a back up you do it from the recovery.. And that's the first thing you should have DONE, was make a BACK up! B4 you started anything!!!

If you are having problems with Odin make sure you are using a USB port on the back of your pc and have the latest device drivers installed.

Hey there,
I clicked on the link that you provided (not for the files, but for the thread). I noticed on *that* thread, it was for i747M. Is this/your thread exclusively for i747? I don't want to chance it and brick my device due to a variant mess-up.
Thanks for publishing this info. =)

The link is if the i747m but I used the same process just with the i747 files.

From the threads I have been reading, NO, you can not unlock using this.
This procedure will allow you to downgrade your ROM to 4.1.1 while leaving you on the 4.3 bootloader. To unlock using the free method you must be on completely stock 4.1.1. Completely stock, including the bootloader, which would be LK3 for the i747, I believe.

Why don't you give it a try and let us know? I think as long as you installed the 4.1.1 modem, you will be able to unlock you phone.

i wasn't able to. i actually traded my s3 for a s3 running 4.1.2 and on that one i just downgraded and then succesfully unlocked that one. sadly i don't have either anymore because the one running 4.1.2 was having speaker issues. i now have a vivid and wish i wouldn't of traded lol.

I was able to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.1. I do have a few questions though...
1. S3ModedRom.tar: Is it for the I747 or I747m?
2. Modem file: Is it flashed through TWRP or CWM?
3. How do I go back to 4.3?
Also...for those wondering if you can FREE UNLOCK: NO. I get only a blank service menu
Input on the above questions will be greatly appreciated. Especially the 3rd question

Any ideas on going back to 4.3? Im currently downloading Samsung Kies. Any objections to that?

Followed the directions from a rooted 4.3 install and everything worked flawlessly. Thanks!!!
