Is it possible to reflash the stock firmware if the custom rom that i used is a newer version? I have a TWRP backup, and the fastboot flashable zip from stock.

Yes. If you're on TMO or Sprint just follow the instructions in the return to stock thread. Otherwise, there should be a similar thread for your variant.

Why do you think you would have to downgrade? Why would you downgrade to ICS, root, then update to JB, losing root again?
Just flash CWM/TWRP with recovery and flash Superuser with chosen recovery. The t999v is d2can right? Just for reference, your firmware should be on this page: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-T999V&pcode=VTR#firmware, assuming you are on Videotron.

im on wind with a t999v
the reason i was asking to downgrade was because in this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775616
it says that in order to follow the steps, you must first restore the stock ics firmware.
what i want to do is:
-install cwm
-flash superuser using cwm
-then maybe later a custom rom
Is it necessary to downgrade?
If it isnt can someone show me a step by step guide that shows you how to root/install cwm while on 4.1.1
Thanks

Just flash the latest root66 in Odin and you will be updated with root. If you want a custom recovery, download goo manager from the play store to flash TWRP recovery.

Ok i just found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687&highlight=4+1+1
Would this work:
-Download the prerooted 4.1.1 wind odin tar
-Flash it using odin
-Download ROM manager and install CWM from there

You don't need to reinstall an entire rom, thats way too much work.
This is the easiest method I have found.
http://androidjinn.com/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-t999-uvdlja-android-4-1-1-jelly-bean-firmware.html/2
Flash the autoroot package from that article, and you are rooted. Then once you are rooted, you can then install a custom recovery with something like Rom Toolbox from within android.

Thanks that looks good. I just have a couple of questions.
This guide is for the t999. I have the t999v, does it matter?
Also the guide is meant for s3 running T999UVDLJA firmware.
Is there somewhere i should check to confirm that is what i have?
Btw i have a wind mobile s3 if that helps,
Thanks.
nevermind, i used the root66 method
and i am now succesfully rooted
So I was considering a return to stock. My question is if I find the stock 4.4.4 NH7 .tar and flash it, will it also update my bootloader and radio to the latest versions? I found the .tar here: http://www.droidviews.com/update-t-mobile-galaxy-s4-to-android-4-4-4-kitkat-and-root-it/

I Flashed modem UVUEOH1 with twrp 2.8.7 now unknown baseband and no imei. Bootloader is T999LUVUBNF4 running cm 12.1.
Any advise on how to fix would be appreciated.
i have T999L not T999
Did you flash the bootloader too? It's best to make sure that both are flashed together.

Bootloader T999LUVUBNF4 was in place while running cm 12.1 everything was working fine. Then I got this bug up my *** to flashed the UVUEOH1.
It probably due to a mismatch between the bootloader and modem. Flash back to the previous modem or update the bootloader?

Back up your data and flash the latest a stock rom via Odin.

Why does your phone not meet the requirements for flashing a stock rom from sammobile.com?

I was going to flash from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687 and the instructions say I need "Unmodified stock system No modem or kernel changes". Maybe I am misreading that.

I suggest flashing the latest stock rom from Sammobile.com If know the bootloader version on the phone, post it and this may result in further suggestions.
Flashing a stock rom will ensure the baseband and bootloader match.

Yes now root 66 complete. Looking for twrp install directions.
I recommend not flashing the root 66 ROMs as they appear to have older bootloaders and could brick your phone.

Hey!
I just recently flashed twrp recovery and flashed some custom roms without making a backup of the stock ROM. Is there a way that I can flash the stock ROM and continue having OTA updates?
Thanks
I will assume that you have removed apps in you current ROM so before you return to stock you need to have a pre-rooted firmware will all the asus apps installed. Here is the link to the guide and follow the Pre-root stock method.

I havent tried that method, but I think its the same. You can try it but be sure to follow it corrwctly and I read that it only works specific version of twrp. Read the thread and comment before doing it.

Yeah, that was the problem. I forgot I had to flash lollipop recovery and now it worked fine. I was also able to flash the stock rom with this method with marshmallow twrp but I had to flash the pre-rooted system image first through fastboot. Thanks!
Hi,
I am running stock Android 9.0 firmware on my Samsung Galaxy S9 (SM-G950F) with TWRP recovery and Magisk.
I want to update my firmware to a newer stock Android 9.0 firmware by flashing it as update.zip in TWRP, without formatting data.
I have downloaded the ODIN flashable firmware from sammobile, but this is not a TWRP flashable zip.
Where do I get an update.zip or how can I genereate it?
Thanks,
Stefan

uhm... wut? You cant do what youre asking. Youll have to get a compiled ROM and flash it. I dont have a rootable version of the S9, so im not familiar with the ROMs that are available, but are there not any 9.0 ROMs you can flash?
Actually, I would also switch to an already compiled ROM, if it wold be possible to do without wiping the data partition. But all ROMs have this as a prerequisite, if you switch to them from a stock ROM.
I will probably try to flash the stock firmware via ODIN with Home_CSC, although this is riskier than flashing the firmware via TWRP.
A better way, as I understand would be to get a Samsung OTA firmware file. Since https://firmware.science is down, does someone know an alternative?

you dont flash firmware in TWRP, just ROMs. And if you flash a deodexed stock ROM that has the same base as yours, you shouldnt need to wipe
Flashing a deodexed stock ROM sounds good. By same base do you mean the baseband version (G950FXXU4CRKB in my case) or the build number (R16NW.G950FXXS4CRLB)?
