Return to stock via odin?

I rooted my phone yesterday using the toolkit from the development forums. I created a backup of my stock ROM before I flashed anything new but apparently I messed that up b.c trying to restore that, the toolkit told me I have no restore files. Anyway I flashed the unofficial cm10 build and I am having some radio issues, so I wanted to go back to stock until a more official build comes out. I have tried doing that through the toolkit a few times but it continues to fail.
Looking around online I found the stock ROM from Google and dl'd it (mysid-imm76k-factory-98d21321.tar is the file) I am pretty noobish when it comes to flashing stuff and i have never seen a .tar but I found that Odin can flash .tar. so my plan was to get the odin app flash that file and hope I did everything okay.
A couple questions: is this going to work okay? Do I need to flash kernels or radios or anything else or is this a complete return to stock? Will this keep me rooted and unlocked?

Thank you. Don't know why I couldn't find that.
Any chance you could explain what odin is/.tar files are? And how they are different?

Here is the pre-rooted stock 4.1.2 firmware for T999: UVDMD5
Here is the official stock 4.1.2 firmware for T999 which is not rooted: UVDMD5
Both of these firmwares are Odin flash only.
Good luck!

Pre-rooted meaning before root? Or it's already been rooted?

Already been rooted.

I have a t999 that has slimkat on it. I rooted and installed slimkat awhile back. I'm wanting to go back to stock. the only stock rom i found on here so far is not a rom at all. it's an exe file that tries to install a ton of adware, malware and trojans (according to symantec).
Does anyone know where to find a stock rom? Also, I currently have the t99uvuenc2 firmware, so it needs to work with that, I guess. I don't know how to change that, but if someone can point me to the directions on how to get this thing back as close to stock as possible, that would be great.

Follow the link in the first post to sammobile.com and download the latest firmware from there. Then download Odin 3.07 or 3.09 and use the program to flash your phone back to completely stock.

Thanks, audit13. I'm back to stock with no issues at all. I'm fairly new to this, so I must have misunderstood something up at that first post. I'm all set now though.

im trying to install latest stock ROM for sgh-t999L but always ends up failing on odin. At sbl2.mbn then it says AUTH FAIL

[Q] NB4 to NF4 without losing root or messing up Knox

So, I have a NB4 SM N900T. I rooted with cfautoroot, then installed Phillz Touch CWM, then made a full backup. After I rooted and installed a custom recovery, I was getting that recovery not SEANDROID enforcing/Kernel Warranty error on Boot. I then flashed Hyperdrive and used it for a few weeks. Today I wiped everything, and restored that nandroid backup to bring it back to stock NB4 because I cannot seem to get LTE to work to save my life.
Anyhow, now I see that NF4 is out.
With stock NB4, I'm no longer getting that error. It's still rooted, etc after the backup was restored.
What I would like to know is what would be the best way for me to get the NF4 update without messing up my root/Knox?
I can use ODIN, but if someone could just be a little more specific that would be great.
I downloaded N900TUVUDNF4_N900TTMBDNF4_N900TUVUDNF4_HOME.tar.md5
and Cfautoroot from another thread...
I think I'm going to stay with the stock ROM until I figure out this LTE issue... I am on Straight Talk AT&T (Using Hyperdrive ROM) and get plain 4G and someone with the same phone- stock NB4 and ATT go service standing 2 feet away gets 4Glte. 15mbs+ speeds, while I'm under 5mbs.
Sorry, kinda all over the place here...
Anyhow, thanks for any help everyone.

If you have installed any custom recovery like cwm/twrp you have
already tripped knox and there is no way to fix it so you may as well
simply flash whatever firmware and or custom rom you like.
Flashing/installing any custom recovery trips knox.
Good luck!

Fixed LTE issues. Threw away Straight Talk, Picked up AT&T.
Ok, so I'm considering staying on Stock ROM but my NB4 (RAC Build) N900T has no OTA update from Samsung...
So, am I able to just flash straight from NB4 to NF4? Will I lose root?

Yes you will loose root however if you simply flash cf-autoroot after
flashing the official N900T NF4 firmware you will have root again.
Here is the direct download link for the official N900T NF4 firmware:

You're welcome for the firmware link.
I asked you nicely in pm to link to my thread instead of stealing my links, but since you ignored that, be prepared to have me comment on your posts where you try to pass them off as your own, or at least fail to attribute.
I appreciate that you want to help others, but please attribute links and/our abide by the posters requests when they ask you.
Thanks

Thanks, both of you, for the info and links.
Can I use Mobile Odin to do this?

You can, but just be aware that Mobile Odin cannot flash bootloaders, so if you're just looking to go straight up, you can either follow the directions in post #2 of this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...900tuvudnf4-extracted-stock-firmware-t2834398 or use desktop odin.
If you want to do it all in one shot, desktop odin is your best bet. Just power your device down for about 15-30 seconds (or power off using power menu and battery pull for a bout 10 seconds), then boot straight into download mode (this helps ensure the modem and bootloader stick), and flash the full package in the AP (or PDA) slot of desktop odin.

Back to STOCK from FNJ1

What is a Stock firmware I can got back to before FNJ1 came out?? Having trouble with 4.4.2 FJN1! Send me where I can download firmware to Odin back. Thanks Guys and Merry Christmas to All....
Sorry this is for SGH-i747 AT&T

if by firmware you mean bootloader/modem , you will brick if you try to downgrade bootloader. maybe someone else with more knowledge will chyme in.
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"

What ever version was before 4.4.2 FJN1 that I have now to get rid of being rooted etc. Surely version before this still has locked boot loaders I can return to?

Surely someone has a stock FNJ1 I can Odin into my i747. Files in mine have gotten corrupted. Will someone help me Out with file I can Odin in phone. Know I can not go back to another version because FNJ1 locked boot loaders. Surely someone can tell me where to get .tar M5D of FNJ1 I can Odin. Thanks Guys and Merry Christmas

There is no ODIN .tar file for NJ1, at&t never released one. It was just an OTA update which was pointless because it didn't make anything better from the previous NE4 firmware. Have you tried doing factory data reset?
I have a guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/general/how-to-restore-device-status-to-t2832880
It's for Android 4.3, but should also work on 4.4

See posts 1 and 2 for the tar files.

Awesome thanks for the help

Yup, I've bounced between both firmwares with no issues at all!
