Easiest way to do this?
Wanting to stay with STOCK ROM
Here's this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2768847 but I would wait a couple of days until all of the wrinkles are kinked out. Or just flash the tar and root it

Sarge, are you sure about that? CF Autoroot installs a 4.1 recovery. Isn't having a non-stock recovery causing OTA updates to fail?
You can revert to stock recovery after you have rooted though.
When you get the OTA update you can (supposedly) use CF Root again to root the 4.3.
Yes Ranger ....sorry...
If you've got 4.3 then CF will give you the 4.1 3e recovery...and of course the step will fail....
If you are on the ATT version of the device with the 4.1.2 original rom then it will work..
The threads are getting mixed heavily with 4.3 official rom questions ...which we obviously don't have ....and this old guy gets them confused....
However ...
Since CF is modified for use with different carriers ...
Chainfire may have updated files for the 4.3+ users ...
I don't use them ...but it's worth a look ....g

This is a dumb question I guess.
I'm on Quantum 4.4
I'm running the 4.2.2 bootloader (Telus)
When I Odin back to stock I flash the stock 4.2.2 through Odin and start fresh.
If I was to flash the Telus 4.3 stock I'd just use that from now on to Odin back to stock right? Probably should have my coffee before thinking this morning lol.

Is it possible, or will this just brick the phone?

If you took the OTA to 4.3 you cannot use Odin to go back to previous versions. You can root and flash any version you want, as long as you aren't trying to go backwards with the bootloader, aka mk3 bootloader > md4, etc.
As metalfN78 said, yes it will brick your phone If you use Odin. You can flash ANY version through recovery though.

Damn, I didn't accept the ota on my s3, but my wife did

You can still flash previous versions of Android on hers, just not with Odin. As long as you are using a custom recovery and flash roms then it is alright.
But won't custom recovery/rooting trip the Knox warranty bit?

Yea
Oh well, that'll teach her to not accept ota updates unless she checks with me first

I am looking for a guide to see if its possible to Unroot and go back to Stock 4.3 (M919 Model)
I am not 100% sure if downloading the Original M919UVUEMK2 and running through ODIN will do it. So I am kind of Paranoid on taking further action towards going back to Stock Firmware via ODIN seeing how I have not spotted anything. I've only seen Guides that show how to do it with 4.2, which doesn't the bootloader or something Block Downgrades?
I don't really care about the KNOX Flag, I just wanna go back to stock.
Please and Thankyou!
Odin will work as long as you never updated to the official 4.4.2 firmware

Sweet, so it doesn't matter at all if I'm on a custom 4.4.2 ROM correct?
Otherwise thanks for the tip man!
Nope! Just remember to factory reset after you flash it and back up your files

Will do, thankyou
I received a refurbished phone with KitKat already installed. I am already rooted. What has to happen for me to be able to go back to jelly bean? The one search I found didn't give a final answer

You can flash a zip through cwm and get back to JB, but do not try to flash back using Odin because it'll brick you. And just know that even if you flash back to a JB ROM you are stuck with KK boot loader and modem.
