looks like I cant get access to CWM recovery,, no matter how I rooted, only Android System Recovery <3e>
help/???
That's why I'm saying to get the stock ROM tar file and use Odin to factory restore your device. If you use Odin it overrides custom recovery

Was the Att ROM the one for Odin or a cwm flash able one. I couldn't find the Odin flash able one
Edit:: follow the directions in this post and try that to see if it works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33954304

its the one for odin, has bootloader, pda, phone, csc, those staff,
The one in the post I gave you should only be placed in the PDA section of Odin and you flash it from there and we will see if that works. Make sure you right click and rename the file by removing the .md5 label leaving only the .tar making it Odin flsshable
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Yeah try stock Rom from above post, most likely it should work,
if not try flashing CWM recovery through odin.

You have to root IOT flash a custom recovery and then use that to make a back up. cant do it the other way around

Yea you would just Odin flash a stock .tar file and it will reset root and everything else back to factory conditions

This link will lead ya in the right direction.

If you have the twrp u will have get back to stock recovery... most probably u'll have to:
Flash the chinafines stock rom from the original android dev thread, run the triangle away app to reset the modif counter, run the unroot from the super su app) & only after that to boot into stock recovery to reset the whole phone.... once thats done the phone is a virgin)

You might have flashed a stock rooted one

Make sure you download the stock firmware from Samsung updates website and odin
Should return it to 100% stock

Yeah bro, Odin doesn't wipe everything. You need to factory reset first through cwm and I would recommend formatting /system. Then Odin to stock and you will be "unrooted"

i think that option is in "advance".
I agree wit the second post, flash with rooted ROM and then go TWRP to flash any other ROM.

Formatting /system is under mounts in CWM. And why the heck would you Odin a pre-rooted image first? He wants to unroot not re-root

Doesn't flashing chain-fire's CF auto root install stock recovery? Of course, you have to flash it through Odin.
