Odin, and I have no idea what all you've done to your phone, so I can't answer the second question.

AS per the instructions .
It will return the kernel to stock but it will not return other firmare to stock and it will not reset the custom rom counter .
Warranty void if custom rom root or custom rom counter above zero .
Easy way is to use Checkfus to download original firmware and flash via Odin .

If you just flash a stock kernel, then maybe, maybe not. If you flash a full firmware, then probably.

Hello everybody, I'm new here And I got newbie question.
I want to root and install Custom ROM'S to my device(I know how to that), I'll make my stock ROM 4.1.2 backup(in CWM). I was searching, and found, that I can un-root my device(get back warranty), but every tutorials says, that I will need download stock rom from Sammobile, but there arent firmware from my region. The question, do I will be able use my own backup like stock firmware in un-root proccess ? (Dont dowload firmaware from sammobile, but use own backup) If answer is "Yes", second question is, do I be able to recieve official updates after restore (OTA, KIES) ? Thanks for answers.
no. I mean, you will unroot but you will still have a custom recovery (CWM), and that voids your warranty

So, if I want to have warranty, I had do not touch my stock ROM ?

Probably Kies .
OTA not if rooted .

that, or follow the instructions for returning to the warranty state.
or if your recovery backs up /recovery partition then restoring the backup will overwrite CWM too
I'm confused Thanks for answers.

Why return it to stock? I would recommend flashing an i9305 recovery from Odin then flashing an i9305 pre-rooted ROM via recovery....
However, heres how to return it to stock.

You need it to boot (With rooted) to be able to reset the counter though. It may not even need resetting yet though. Check download mode for info

Hey man, he is using the 19305 model from Australia.
I just need a link that refers me a site or post that will let me download the Stock rom, or any rom that will allow the s3 to be usable again.

Best bet to find your firmware is sammobile.com
Please can anyone help me?
I need to unroot my s3 and put a UK T-Mobile ROM back on it as I am exchanging it for a new one through insurance due to dropping the phone.
The screen still works but has a small crack in it.
Cheers in advance
Go into the general section and follow the unroot guide.
Basically you need to reset flash counter by downloading TriangleAway app (its available here on xda) then just download your official rom from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9300#firmware, flash it through odin and restore factory settings. There should be in deph tutorial in general section.
