I am not sure if you can flash stock firmware via CWM. For Odin compatible files see: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Ok thanks.Would unrooting it work out the same as going back to stock.I have nand backups of siyah kernel and stock kernel,and Ive reset the counter/triangle away.
Could I follow this guide and it would ok for going back to samsung and retain my warranty

update;
I have managed to unroot the phone but I cant seem to root it again......very strange.I have tried following this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 but there is a problem.
when I install the cwm zip(think its v5.8),I basically cant do anything in its menu.It only scrolls down once in the menu,then hangs/freezes.Once it did work and I was trying to install the busybox stuff,but it couldnt find anything to install.I cant remember but I did see a " e:verification signature error".
So I tried to root using odin and basically it wont flash the required .tar file for rooting successfully and Ive got to keep reflashing the stock .tar file...
Has anyone encountered these problems before.

How did you try to scroll, with volume up/down? If I am not mistake this CWM is a touch version

It was just the basic one.I've never seen recovery acting the way that version was doing.Out of the 6 options I could only scroll to 3 of them,and it wouldn't go near the other 3 options.
I eventually fixed the problem by trying combos with pressing the power and home buttons,and I think I got the other file in that link installed(the root).Then I stuck on siyah(c/w the touch recovery you said),which meant I could reinstall everything by the nand backup.
I can't remember if I got out of the other part of the recovery problem(verification) by getting the 2nd file from the internal memory and flashed that successfully.

Phone won't boot after latest upgrade and root.

Hello, I performed the recommended upgrade from kies.
Then I rooted my phone for the third time (two previous were successful).
I followed the instructions from there: http://www.techjamaica.com/forums/s...ur-Galaxy-SII-by-a-2-day-old-Android-Newbie!& as per two previous times.
My phone now won't boot. It stays at the boot screen with the yellow exclamation point.
I tried to read relevant threads from here and the web. What I did is:
- removed the battery for 10 minutes, press the on-off button for some secs
- tried to connect it via Kies
- tried to connect it via Kies at download mode
- tried to re-root it via Odin (it said success but still cannot boot)
All above had no success. Now I am without mobile since early morning.
What else can I try to fix it?
Before rooting it, and immediately after the update, the phone was working.
Go to Recovery Mode and try Wipes...
Thanks. Will revert
ok I entered to recovery mode and wiped cache partition - nothing happened
should I wipe data/factory reset?
Ignore step 3 onwards and just flash a CF-root kernel matching your version. In other words, follow the instructions to root from this forum, not some random Jamaica tech forum.

I have searched but I do not know which mode is best to install.
ΟΚ I did follow instructions exactly from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I rooted the phone successfully and I know it because now the recovery mode is different than the recovery mode before used the latest root.
However I still cannot boot. Should I hardware reset the device? Is this my only option?
Well nothing worked. I booted to "ClockwoorkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2" and deleted/wiped everything, even hardware reset it.
I am still stuck with the yellow exclamation mark. How is even possible that hardware reset doesn't working?
Please help.

If you wiped sd card then you wiped all firmware off the phone . It will now require a flash of stock rom via ODIN .

i,ll be greatful for any tips or any help
thanks
you say you flashed cm kernel, then i would assume that u flashed hells fusion kernel..cuz it has cwm as default recovery...
simply flash stock kernel through odin and everything will be okay..
or flash any other kernel through odin..
recovery doesn't work then u must flash via odin..
i hope u can get to download mode by pressing vol up+vol down+power

[Q] Doubt with upgrading CWM and flashing CM 10.1

Hello guys...
I just rooted my Galaxy S3 and flashed CWM recovery successfully using a Odin flash
I followed the method in this tutorial.
Now I am on CWM 5.5.0.4: CF v.1.5 (I know its old ><)
This thing is my CWM said it's old and some functions are disabled.
I boot to the revovery mode and couldn't do a backup...
This is the main reason why I am hesitating flashing CM 10.1
Therefore, I searched through the forum and found that I can always upgrade my CWM recovery to the latest version with ROM Manager.
The problem I cannot find ROM Manager from the play store (incomparable with my device??)
I wonder I can just install the apk directly and update through ROM Manager.
Secondly I am from Macau, and my device is bought in Macau so my device is probably the International version. I am worrying flashing CM10.1 would brick my device because I am not sure if I have downloaded the correct version for my phone.
I have looked at this XDA thread, I just want to make sure if the correct one is the first download from this page (http://www.get.cm/?device=i9300)
I know these are probably dumb questions but I really try out new roms for my phone~~ Hope someone could help and advice me! Thanks a lot~~!!

Yes requires recovery the CWM manager does not work .
I boot to the revovery mode and couldn't do a backup.
Dont see why not but you can update or pick one of the other root and recovery tools all in Development section .
Probably is not good enough it must be I9300 only for firmware from this forum .

Thank you for the reply.
it said "can't mount backup path" and did not backup
And what recovery is appropriate in my case?
and how can i upgrade CWM without using the ROM Manager method?
Thanks!

[Q] Help with bricked i9300

I was recently changing custom roms on my i9300 and think i formatted the wrong option. Now when I turn on my phone it gets as far as the start up screen, then goes off and just continues to repeat. I have trawled the web and tried a couple PIT and PDA's but no joy as of yet. I can boot it into download mode. Any help would be highly appreciated! Thank you.

Ahh of course haha. Well the PIT has passed but when i put the PDA on, depending on if i do straight after i have run the PIT, which it stays on "Setup connection..." or if I run the PDA on its own i get "NAND write start!"

Hey untick repartition then flash
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Did it help when flashed without re-partition checked?
Why do you need a PIT file? Where did you get it?
Repartitioning could be extremely dangerous.
try odin version 3.04 without the PIT file, if you get NAND write start just wait about 5-6 mins, if it stays where it is come here again.
IF you can, try rooting it with CF AUto root then flash a recovery. THen put a ROM on your external SD card and flash it via recovery and see if it boots.
Very sorry for the delay in reply. Its been bloody hectic!
I tried both of those suggestions Mr Mirage.
The first one i got the NAND write start, and the same on the second. It also got stuck on NAND write start
