First of all, I really appreciate the help and expertise this forum provides!
So back in June I rooted my phone with directions here on xda. I am an extreme noobie (in my 40's) and had no business going down this road lol! I used the Phil Z method and everything actually went pretty smooth. The problem came when I tried to unroot the phone to get the latest software update. I eventually had to take my phone to a schiesty cell phone repair store. just to get the phone working again.
The problem is that I still can't get the latest update. The update fails because there is "not enough space available to download system update." The picture I attached shows the screen in download mode. It seems that not all of the original root was removed.(?)
Does someone here have an idea what I can do?

The picture of my screen is what shows up in download mode. It reboots after 10 seconds, so there is no way to flash with Odin.

I spoke up too soon...I guess the software is for Sprint and not VM. Everything works except I have no mobile network...I'll try to find the VM software, but if someone has a link that would make it go a lot faster!

Hi All,
I currently have my phone running Slimbean build 4.1 with CWM installed for my recovery. I want to restore my phone back to stock to unlock it, and give Touchwiz a try again. Whats the best way to do this? I remember reading there was some sort of unlock method using from a stock os, can I still do this?
Thanks in advance.
Download odin for your pc and the stock firmware for your carrier. Use odin to flash the firmware. Both of these can be found in the Android development section.

Yep. Sure is as that is the stock 4.1.1
Are you looking to stay on stock and keep root ? IF so just flash the stock rooted .tar in odin.

Actually, I plan on going stock, no root. I don't use root functions that much. Problem is (for me anyways) I can't get a single hotfile link for the firmware to download right now, keeps getting Network Timeout.

Well, got the phone back to stock, unlock not so much. Oh well, it was worth a try. Touchwiz is kind of nice, glad I went back.
Thanks for the help, I ended up having to use my cell connection to download the file, something OS related on my PC. oh well.

You won't unlock it for free (perma unlock anyway). You'll either have to get the code from your carrier or buy it online.

It might. I never tried it. Although, trying to get it from your carrier is the easiest way. Chat with the support and ask them (can make up some excuses). Could take a few tries.

I may have lied about the girls, but here is my problem. I was on CM 10.1 Nightly 4/17 or something. I tried flashed Ktoonssez kernal....and it bricked my phone. I managed to get download mode but I am not sure what to do. Finals are coming up, and I have some lecture recording so if there is anyway to get everything back. If not I still want to stay on CM 10.1 I cannot enter recovery but before I flashed I made a nandoid back up in TWRP. IF anyone can help me ASAP I would really appreciate it!!!!
Came for the girls, disappointed.
Flash a stock ROM via odin, factory reset from recovery, flash TWRP, restore backup.
PS it's kernEl

Okay I think I scerwed it up even more.
I did the odin think, but now it doesn't even boot. It doesn't charge either, all it does is vibate whenever I try to boot it up. I cant get into Recoevery or Download. I think I hard bricked it, Will I need a Jig?

Then I booted back into recovery, did a full wipe, flashed loserskater's rooted rom, and now I'm running rooted ota 4.1.2 with cwm touch recovery still intact... took all of 10 minutes maybe, no pc, no odin, all from my phone...

Just to check, in Odin you see something like "<ID:0/005> Added!!" right?
Are you using the stock USB cable?

It certainly is possible however I used 4 differnt versions of Odin. I used Odin fine to return to 4.1.1 stock the upgraded so I don't think Odin is the issue.

It would have to be an Odin flashable file as no custom recovery for att, and the locked bootloader would reject the tar file.

I haven't modded this phone in a very long time.. I see that there is now 4.4 roms available and been searching over and over on how to go from this rom to a higher version of android.. everything i keep finding is either outdated and links are no longer available.. or the options to update are from 4.3 to 4.4 but im still on 4.1.2
I also need to upgrade to atleast to 4.1.2 so that i am able to flash this phone to page plus and the steps/guide and programs that i will be using required that..
1) Do i need to go back to stock rom first ?
2) Is there a One click Odin zip to go back to stock
3) is there a One click Odin zip to upgrade ?
Dont really care about having to be rooted on this phone as this is just my second line and my NOTE 3 is properly customized...
Please help..

No, just use Odin to flash the stock ND8 ROM, then flash your custom recovery. Boot into ROM ( it'll take a while ) update PRL and profile, then flash another ROM if you want
