How do I unroot Samsung Galaxy S3 running Android 4.4
Flash stock firmware, or select unroot option in your superuser app
Do I need to flash 4.3 stock rom using Odin
Yes. NC2 (4.3) is the latest we have. MJC is one update older but still 4.3.

Not unless its modified.. If that's what you rather do then you're better off unrooting from superuser app.. But why would you want to unroot and still have cwm?

I am not sure what you mean, you say have flashed the latest MDL in odin and then you say you are on the latest OTA, it cannot be both.
You are either on the latest OTA or you are on the latest official FULL Samsung MDL Jellybean v4.2.2 stock rom which you say you flashed in Odin.
So which is it?
If you are indeed on the latest OTA as you have stated then here is what needs to be done to get MDL as your baseband.
You need to Odin flash the FULL Samsung Touchwiz Jellybean MDL v4.2.2 stock rom.
After doing that you will have MDL but you will need to get yourself rooted.
Here is the link to the FULL Odin flash rom: http://k0nane.info/rom/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip
The OTA upgrade is just that an upgrade it's not the same as flashing the full official stock jellybean MDL 4.2.2 rom.

My bad. What I did was installed the mdl full base in Odin. No ota, don't know why I mentioned it. I did a full wipe in my recovery then flashed the 1.6gb tar file in Odin. It took about 4 minutes, rebooted to the compete fresh stock Rom, and I have no Wi-Fi. In settings, the baseband says I'm on mdb. When I try to toggle Wi-Fi, it just won't switch on.

Is this filename below the exact same filename that you Odin flashed?
M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB_3.zip
If it's not the same filename, then download this rom from my previous post and Odin flash it and you will have MDL.
This is the file everyone has been using.

I had this issue when I first rooted my phone, flash a custom kernel from thread...that will fix you up.
Hey guys,
I'm trying to go back to a stock Touchwiz ROM from CyanogenMod 10.2. My only problem is, I can't Odin back to a stock from because the only Odin compatible file I have is 4.1.1 which my phone will no longer go to since my baseband was updated after trying a former 4.3 ROM.
Can anyone link me to a 4.3 ROM that I can flash in Odin? I'm asking because most of the ROM's I'm finding that are 4.3 require you to be on a TW ROM before flashing their ROM. Thanks.

This link is useless for me as it does not have a 4.3 stock rom listed in their official firmwares. They have only up to 4.1.2 which I cannot Odin back to since my baseband was already updated.

Do I have to be on a stock rom to use this? I'm currently on Quantum V3 and I don't have access to a stock rom to revert to since my baseband was updated.

No you don't have to be on the stock rom to use that, but the bootloaders are for 4.3 so if you haven't updated yet this will update you.
You can flash any rom you want to as long as you do not mess with the bootloader you will be OK. I do not know if this work on anything besides an at&t phone using it on anything else is done so at your own risk just the same as using it.
What about the recovery? any way to get a stock recovery image?
Hi!
I currently have 4.1.2 rooted and I would like to update to 4.3 and keep the root. I have the official 4.1.2 made by Samsung only rooted and also with CWM. Is there any 4.3 flashes that ONLY adds root and CWM? I do not want another custom ROM.

Currently not able to get MMS/Group messaging to work on the current 4.4 rom. Tried updating modem, adjusting settings...still no luck and I need it for work. Appreciate any help
Which phone do you have?

AT&T S3
You can go 4.4 -> 4.3. However, you cant get the unrooted stock rom of 4.3, since Samsung/AT&T didn't ever release to the public (It was all OTA).
If you went 4.2->4.3 OTA, then your bootloader was upgraded. As you've seen on these forums, downgrading from 4.3 to 4.2/4.1 is a big no-no unless you want a brick.
Example:
4.2 ---(OTA UPGRADE)--> 4.3.
Rooted+cyanogen 4.3
cyanogen 4.3-> cyanogen 4.4
cyanogen 4.4-> cyanogen 4.3
cyanogen 4.3
( ^ what I have done)
NOTE: After I got the OTA, I have never tried going back to stock. You can use rooted roms that are CLOSE to stock. But I wouldn't suggest going stock because of knox and blah blah blah.
Were you ever on stock AT&T 4.3? If you were, your bootlaoder was probably updated so you can't install an older bootloader. You can load a older AT&T ROM using mobile Odin which does not flash a bootloader or modem.
I never went to 4.3...straight from 4.2 to 4.4

So I could go back to a 4.2 TW rom if I was never on 4.3 OTA? (or any 4.3 for that matter)

Yes, you just need to find a stock AT&T ROM that is flashable in Odin.
so i have a rooted at&T galaxy s3 on the latest stock firmware which i guess is 4.3. i tried flashing resurrection rom which was kit kat and it failed. so i restored my back up and the phone would get stuck on the splash screen. so i formated the whole phone and forgot to save my backup to my sdcard. twrp now says that i have no OS installed and also says i am not rooted anymore. im scared and need a little assistance. i just want to get it going.
Just flash the latest TWRP, copy a custom ROM to your phone, boot into TWRP, and flash it.

i bought a micro sc card reader and transfered a superuser zip and an old 4.3 beanstalk rom. it flashed fine last night. i used my phone all day and downloaded the latest 4.3 beanstalk rom and just tried to flash it and it FAILED. This is the second time i had a flash fail. I tried flashing that old beanstalk rom again and it failed too! what the heck???? my battery is a little low.....does twrp have some kind of safety built in where it wont flash if bettery is low?
ok...so i flashed cwm because im more familiar it than twrp. then i flashed an old slimbean 4.3 rom i had. everything worked fine and the phone booted up perfectly. i dont want slim bean so i rebooted into cwm and tried to flash the newest 4.3 beanstalk rom and it failed.....why?

Did you install the latest CWM? Is the 4.3 Beanstalk based on Kit Kat?

no its not based on kitkat. i flashed an older version of cwm via odin. i figured i could just update it with rom manager. i tried to update cwm to the latest verion and it fails everytime. so...i downloaded root checker from the play store and it says im not rooted. i need to fix this lol
im running a custom rom but yet root checker says its not rooted...hmm
Flash the latest Philz and. Validus as I know that is a rooted ROM. Personally, I don't use ROM manager.

I'm on slimbean 4.3 and I've lost root. I want root back so I can get rid of this ROM. Ive flashed supersu multiple times with cwm..but I still do not have root access.
So I guess my question now is.....how do I get back to stock rooted? Im on slimbean 4.3 without root access.

Rooting is not needed to flash another ROM. Just boot into recovery, wipe, and flash another ROM.

There is no stock ATT 4.3 ROM because ATT only released 4.3 as an OTA update. Do not flash any 4.3 firmware (even from sammmobile.com) unless it has been compiled for installation via Odin. Check the development threads for firmware that can be flashed via Odin.

If you got the phone on 4.3 you need to flash mjb or else you will brick the device
