Is there a way to return to a Stock room with the MJB boot loader installed. I am trying via Odin but can not find a md5 4.3 ROM o go back to. Any and all help will be welcomed.
There is no stock AT&T 4.3 ROM that can be installed via Odin. Look in the development section for a thread on restoring stock 4.3 using a custom recovery.

I'm currently running custom 4.3 ROMS on my i747m with MK5 bootloader and I'm looking to flash 4.3 stock. I want to return to stock and use DE-SAMSUNGNIZER to de-bloat stock. Is this possible? Or will I lose ROOT and be unable to flash any other custom ROMS.
Thanks for the help!
I suppose you could flash a pre-rooted rom via Odin.
Root is not required to flash custom ROMs, using a custom recovery should do the trick.

Would you recommend using a pre-rooted & deodexed ROM flashed via CWM/TWRP or using the Sasktel Image flashed via Odin?
Thanks for your help audit13
I have a bell s3 so I always just flash the pre_rooted stock image and a custom recovery. By having root, I can uninstall the bloated apps.
I don't think the pre_rooted ROM I use is deodexed.
I am on firmware 4.3 that I rooted a while ago. I would like to unroot 4.3 however I cannot figure out how. I thought I could flash stock 4.3 via Odin but there are no .tar versions of 4.3. Help?

Do you have the full stock version of 4.3 or the modified (unrooted) version? You can check your phone's settings and build number to see if it's MJB or MJ2. You can try unrooting from the SuperSU app. The definitive solution to unrooting is indeed to flash a complete stock image. An Odin flashable *.tar file was recently developed. There have, however, been reports on outcome. You can flash custom recovery to your phone (either of CWM or TWRP) and use the instructions in the thread below to download and flash a complete stock restore.

hi guys new to the galaxy phone and i have been looking into flashing a rom. i have done all the ground work root and custom recovery but now im trying to flash a rom and i get errors. i looked it up to a point where everything i do want to flash requires a 4.4 or 4.3 update and i am stuck in 4.1 is there any solution to this like start from an older rom and work my way up to a current rom. would that work or odin the phone to a current update if possible to find the update. what options do i have ?
not sure if this is the correct thread
Well I would just flash via Odin up to 4.3 because most Roms require the 4.3 boot loader so yea

I recommend you not update to the 4.3 bootloader as the 4.3 bootloader can cause problems when trying to flash back to stock. Once you're on a 4.3 bootloader, you cannot downgrade to a lower version. Most ROMs seem to work fine with a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 bootloader.
If you have the att s3 (i747) and not the Bell/Telus/Rogers s3 (i747m), you cannot use Odin to flash a stock 4.3 ROM as it does not exist. You would need to flash a version of 4.3 that has been custom compiled for flashing via Odin.
I would download the latest version of Philz Touch and flash the tar version via Odin. Copy a custom ROM to your SD card, boot to recovery, wipe cache, Dalvik, data, and flash the ROM.

You could try the image in Page 4 of the thread below for the Odin flashable *.tar file to get back to stock 4.3 ...

I have, however, always found it is tidier to use (custom) recovery and the instructions in the thread below ...

I am presuming, of course, that we are both talking about the AT&T i747 here.
I'm on cm11 m9 and it's been acting hellafunky lately, so I figured I'd switch back to stock to see if that cleared it up. I know TW is still on 4.4.3 but I can't find a flashable image of it anywhere. Is it possible to go back to stock, or are the cm bootloaders and such to new to be able to do this without bricking the device?
What bootloader is on your phone? Is it an i747 or i747m?
If you are on 4.3 or higher, you cannot flash back to stock unless you use a ROM that has been specifically compiled for flashing in Odin.

On bootloader NE4, I was able to flash back to to stock using the image in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56510020
Everything is working swimmingly.
'ENEWMAN17' threads are the most helpful when it comes to returning an SGS3 device back to stock KitKat ROM. You must strictly adhere to his instructions. Good luck!
Iv flashed my cm11 back to stock using cwm and flashing a odexed 4.4.2 samsung rom without any problems.

If the phone is an i747m, I recommend getting a stock ROM from sammobile. com. I'm not sure if a bootloader and modem file is included in the enewman17's thread but flashing an i747 bootloader and modem onto an i747m could result in a brick.
