Hello,
Im having a problem using ODIN to return to stock. It is going through the entire step of flashing the stock image and it reboots successfully but it doesn't work and my old ROM is still there. Any idea why?
After successfully flashed .tar via odin, restart to recovery and do a full wipe/factory reset.
It will return you back to full stock

Thanks for the reply, I just downloaded a stock rom from samsung, and flashed via odin. It was successful, however even with the stock rom, I am still stuck in a boot load, and it still wont let me into recovery mode....
Solved!!
So I finally solved the issue. After I had flashed the stock rom via odin, I needed to find away to wipe cache's and do a factory reset. I finally accomplished this by downloading the .pit file, and re-flashing it together with the stock rom all through odin. After doing so, I was finally able to get into recovery, wipe, and do a factory reset. For anyone else having this issue, here is a link where I found the .pit file, and a thread with some basic instructions:

I tried to unroot my phone after getting stuck in a cyanogen bootloop a while back. I managed to get into recovery and install stock firmware via Odin. I did not however install the stock kernel or stock recovery. I am now in a stock t-mobile bootloop. I'm not sure what to do, I have been unable to get into recovery thus far, but I can keep trying. What can I do?

Can you get in Download mode? To work with Odin you must be in Download mode, not recovery.
If you can get in Download mode, then start Odin and flash a TWRP Odin flashable recovery:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/101
Then at least you should have a functional recovery. From there you could either try to flash your stock ROM again, or any another ROM.
Are you 100% sure what you flashed was a good stock ROM for the T989 ?
Dont you have a nandroid you could restore?
Trying to figure this out. Browsed forums for the last 24 hours, unable to come up with a way to figure it out. I was running Effortless rom, and older version that I can't remember, but it was on NF6 firmware. I wanted to play around with cm11 so I decided to flash back to stock NF6 then update to NF9 for the VOLTE update just to have it. So I triangled away, wiped then rooted and installed TWRP via ODIN, made a backup, everything went fine. Then I downloaded cm11 and gapps 4.4.4 and put them on my internal sd and went to flash in TWRP but cm11 was giving me errors. I figured it may have been TWRP so i decided to flash CWM but no go. It wouldn't stick. Tried again, no luck. Downloaded ROM Manager and this time I installed CWM through there. Tried rebooting in to recovery and ended up getting stuck in the "recovery booting" bootloop, so I flashed stock NF9(since I was on this firmware now) and tried installing CWM again, no luck. When I tried booting to recovery, it was stock NB4 recovery. I'm thinking that I'm stuck on an old bootloader and the recovery isn't NF9, which is the current stock recovery. I'm thinking that the reason why I'm unable to flash anything in TWRP/unable to install CWM at all is because of the stock recovery and possibly bootloader being NB4 for some reason while my baseband and build are both NF9. Any ideas/help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

If I were you the first thing I would do is to ODIN flash TWRP recovery
and go from there.
Here is a direct download link for the latest odin flash twrp
custom recovery for the N900T Note 3:
https://app.box.com/AndroidShare
Once you get into twrp recovery do a complete wipe
which includes wipe data, system, cache, dalvik and
last but not least do a factory reset in twrp.
When that's done odin flash the official stock N900T NF9
firmware which can be found at http://SamMobile.com
After that's done you will need to odin flash cf-autoroot
and then odin flash twrp recovery again.
Here is the download link for cf-autoroot:
https://app.box.com/s/rgovggya5gkc51lc1uax
Then simply copy your favorite N900T zip file rom into
your internal sd and flash the N900T rom of your choice.
Be sure to do a full and complete wipe again before
flashing any custom roms.
Good luck!
I am am trying to take my Samsung i317 AT&T Note 2 back to stock.
Installed 4.4.2 NJ1 stock rom using ODIN. Reset/ cleared and started phone and went to OTA upgrade the latest patch from AT&T to make it to NJ2. However, when the phone reboots, the Samsung Note II logo shows up and the screen does dark. When I try to enter recovery, it starts to reinstall the OTA patch all over again and says updated. Tried turning the phone back on and the same thing happens again.
I was able to get the phone to work by reflashing the NJ1 stock rom and installed the ZIP stock recovery file using CWM. However, I am trying to get back to the original stock configuration as possible without having CWM installed on the phone and was hoping I can install the stock recovery so that when I go to download mode, everything shows Samsung Official. Knox Warranty Void is at 1, so I guess there is nothing I can do to fix that at this point.
Would installing this be the simple fix by downloading 4.3 Param.bin and Tz.img
Another would be to install the stock recovery ZIP file using CWM as I have already successfully done and maybe someone can point me to find a way to uninstall the CWM afterwards. I've searched online to remove CWM but couldn't find the md5.tar file that would do that from ODIN.
I got an S5 and want to sell my S3 that I've been running CM12.1 nightlies on now for the past year.
I'm having issues though just getting it back to complete stock through various stock TARs I've downloaded. I've soft bricked it a few times but it has bounced back after installing a recovery again in Odin. They're all on the front page of the Sprint S3 Android XDA forum, so it's not like I'm flashing something non-Sprint.
Here's what I've been doing:
I wiped and factory reset within TWRP recovery.
Then I flashed the stock recovery in Odin. That worked just fine.
Go into download mode, tried to flash the Stock NJ2 tar and it fails at aboot. Phone then says: SW REV CHECK FAIL: Fused 2 > Binary 1
I get the 'connect to Kies' error both when powering up and in recovery. Throw it back into download mode, flash stock recovery again. Works fine -- boots in CM12.1 again with no data fresh.
I then tried to flash stock MK3 and it failed too.
I've tried the latest Odin and 3.07 but both give me the same results.
Re-flashing any recovery (I've used stock and TWRP) both get it back to where it boots into CM12.1.
Any guidance on how I can get this thing back to a stock Touchwiz ROM with OTA updates so I can sell it on Craigslist or Swappa or something? I'd appreciate anything, I'm a loss here!
Nevermind! Thank goodness I found an old nandroid backup on an HD and it worked.

Any chance you could share your nandroid backup with me? I'm having the same problem getting my S3 back to stock.

Don't try to flash mk3, you will hard brick if you've updated to nd8 or newer. You don't flash stock recovery at all. Just the stock tar in odin. Have you flashed the stock nd8 or nj2 .tar? Those are the ones you should be flashing. Just the stock .tar, nothing else. It has the right recovery in it. You may be messing up flashing stock recovery. Every build has a different version of recovery ,( like nd8 or nj2).
Yeah I flashed both and they didn't work from Odin. I was on NJ2. MK3 just soft bricked me only. Anyway it's a moot point now that I got it working.
