trouble reverting to 4.04 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently posted a thread asking for help reverting my international gs3 back to its original 4.0.4 state after flash in the super nexus ROM. The reason I want to do this is so that I can get the official 4.1 update from Samsung when it is released. I followed the instructions from the video by totallydubbed but I saw he was flashing from another ICS ROM not jb. When I reset my flash counter it said "Samsung official and under that it was still saying custom, on his phone both said official. When I plugged the phone into the computer it would not recognize the phone, nor did Odin.....is there anything else I can do? Thank you in advanced for any input.

Instal drivers or change USB port or restart pc

I have the drivers installed because I used Odin to root the phone when it was still on 4.0.4. Would it be different drivers since its running 4.1 right now?

Reinstall driver.
Get your phone in downloading mode and try plug it again.
Try with other usb port

Did you do a factory reset after the flash? I do believe that is necessary to clear that status

[Q] rooted S3 can't update official JB

I rooted my Galaxy S3 the other day with the intention of installing one of the JB rom's out there. I thought as my S3 was not locked that the official JB update would be a little way off yet. Yesterday I find the official JB being pushed to my phone. It went through the update process and then said it could not update because my phone had been modified. I checked the rom version and it is now 4.1.1 so it seems to have actually updated everything apart from the interface which is still ICS.
Is there a way to get around this? If I do a factory reset will that wipe the root? Or can I do something to hide the root from the update?
All advice much appreciated.

Thanks for that. didn't realise the interfaces were the same. Was expecting a bit of a facelift but then I guess it's what's under the hood that counts.
It did say it couldn't update the software because the phone was modified so I am wondering what, if anything I am missing.
One thing I did notice pretty much straight away was the battery seems to be running down quicker. Could be my imagination of course but I will test it over the next few days to be certain.
flash any stock Rom and change csc

Rooting will not stop you from updating OTA through KIES. It wont update through direct OTA.
Update via Kies or download the DLJ4 and flash with odin.You will have the same result

Rooting and upgrade question

I have rooted my galaxy s3..so how will i get the upgrade to jb when samsung make it available ..does i will get it normally by downloading from software update in phone..or i have to do that manually using cable and other computer programe....
Another question..how can i completly unroot my phone..and back it as i bought?!!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
If you've rooted your phone, and installed CWM....just go installed custom JB ROM
If your region doesn't have JB provided yet, you will not get it officially....
That's not purpose of having root on your phone

Flash a stock firmware from sammobile.com using ODIN.
This will also unroot your phone.
If you have the option to update your phone, and I think you have, just click to check your software version, do it over wifi, so I've done to me, you'll have official jb, un rooted.
So..that will earase all data?!! Or it will keep it..apps and all thing
And link plz for the last firmware in egypt..i have found 4.1.1 for egypt on sammobile..but csn't download it..is that one ok?!and link for it plz

I rooted my stock 4.0.4 and then OTA updates wouldn't function at all. I've found that updating through Kies via USB cable overrides this. I couldn't try this with my own phone as I already flashed a stock JB rom, but tried it with my mom's and worked perfectly well.
U have upgrade roored ics to jb via kies with out flash stock one first?"!!

[Q] official filmware on rooted phone

is it possible to flash official stock firmware from sammobile directly to a rooted phone with odin and would it work or am i only tied to custom roms cos i just rooted my phone.
if you just rooted your phone then it is stock firmware, rooted
Don't understand the problem :-/
Just flash an official firmware via Odin and root again.
Yes, it will work, but you will need to root it again
Thanks would just give it a try and see

Does your phone power on at all? If it does I would recommend booting into recovery mode and performing a factory reset. If this doesn't work you can flash the latest firmware to your device using Odin from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-T679&pcode=TMB#firmware. Let me know if you still have questions .

Reverting from jb 4.2 to ICS before jb theme

Right basically I wanna know if
A its possible not overly fussed about loosing root as I barely use it anyway
B how you do it
Basically CBA to all the updating of custom roms and I prefer the ui before the jelly bean theme came along. So if anyone knows the one I mean where would I get it from too

I'm guessing you want to go back to ICS from JB? That being the case, you have 2 options....
Both require that you download a firmware....which should NOT be 4.0.4....
First option use mobile Odin to flash said firmware
second option is to use PC Odin to flash said firmware.......
And then ignore every request to ota update your phone for as long as you own it....
My wife says I'm a phone geek.....
I'd have to agree......
