[UPDATED 12/30/2012][Sprint Only]UnRoot and Return to stock

i installed this. but if i go into download mode, it says that my ROM and Kernel are Custom. :'( PLZ HELP

You must have let the phone reboot between triangle away and flashing the stock rom in odin. It will not zero the counts if you have a custom Rom or recovery. It only works if you immediately go back to completely stock.
 
Re: UnRoot and Return to stock

Just want to thank you ( Skunkape60 ) for this very useful thread. After rooting my GS3 and using Titanium backup and freezing some apps my phone was stuck at the Samsung screen for about 3 hours tried unrooting, using various sites and nothing. finally found this site and thread and the phone is back to normal.
 
i get the same error after its unzipped. if i remove .md5 from the file name it loads but will it be ok to flash?

Have you tried to redownload it. It may be a bad download. The fact that it loads without md5 but doesn't with it, leads me to believe it's corrupted.
 
Re: UnRoot and Return to stock

I would like to thank the person who opened this thread. I got a phone off craiglist and it won't let me update OTA. I came her through google. Very simple... worked like a charm!
 
Re: UnRoot and Return to stock

Thanks much appreciated. Used it for my friends phone. He was running CM Rom but had many glitches. Now he is happy. Thanks again
 
I finally got it to work! To those who are dealing with "Parameter Incorrect" error: what I did was I simply deleted the ".md5" on the file name and odin recognized it. Hope this works out for you guys too! ;)

If I have deleted apps using titanum backup and need to unroot do i just follow these procedures above to go back to 100% stock?
Thank you

Yes the instructions here well being you back to stock unrooted and return all of the apps that came with the phone.
 
thanks skunkape, I appreciate the stock jellybean tar file. I hate to say that im going to us cellular for 4g. I just hate that sprint has been advertising it for 3 years with the original Evo and where I live and especially where I work, the sprint coverage isn't great even on 3g. You are always my go to on this phone and I appreciate all your help when you gave it to help me out. Do you know of anyone that needs another s3 for development purposes? I am gonna sell my sprint one. It has 2 small scratches on the screen but otherwise it works perfectly. Thanks again for all your help.

Sorry to see you go man. I am actually getting lte almost 40% of the time now. Shoot me a pm and let me know what you want for it. I will ask around for you.
 
Thanks, I'm an idiot and didn't read the last blue box in the OP. I've done this about 6 times now, you would think that I would remember!
