I've had touchwiz on my tab from when it was released. Would I be able to go back to stock android if I just delete touchwiz from my tab.

Probably. Let me know if you figure out how to "delete touchwiz."
I don't see why deleting the update wouldn't work but just to be safe I'm gonna wait to see if someone else already successfully deleted touchwiz

I don't see just deleting the update working, nor would I try it. I'm new to Samsung devices and TouchWiz but if it's anything like HTC and Sense when you download, except and install an update that update rewrites the Rom its self.
I know on a stock HTC EVO4G you could roll back an update by finding and installing an older RUU. An RUU is a stock image of your device that can be pushed to your device(in this case a EVO) that is basically what either was installed at the factory or was/is an image of the previous stock rom version. And if I remember correctly it didn't really matter if your device was rooted or not. Of course ourselves if it was rooted, it would break root. That was until HTC added and locked down the new bootloader.... But that's a decision for another forum and thread.
Again I'm new to Samsung and TouchWiz and haven't had the time lately to really really dig into the Tab to see what makes it work.

how's it going guys.
My Fascinate sometimes pops up with a blue/red screen saying that an update is available. Every time when I confirm it, it reboots but says it can't be completed because of an error or something. I rooted the phone, installed ClockworkMod and that's it. Erased all the unnecessary stock apps that comes with the phone. What's the problem?
You erased all the stock apps.
You have CWM.

yes I believe if you are running a rooted rom you cannot receive OTA updates.. however you can still do what was mentioned in the last post and use odin to put froyo on yourself, there's even debloated/deodexed packages so you don't have to do much work removing anything, but of course most of them will root your phone so still no OTA updates

Hey everyone so I just read here... http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/09/att-samsung-galaxy-note-ics/...that Samsung is FINALLY rolling out the official ICS update. My NOTE however is running a custom DaGr8's AOKP ICS ROM...I'm a noob, can anyone tell me if I need to roll back to the bloated-stock ATT Gingerbread? And if yes, HOW??? Many thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:

How would you go about backing up and restoring contacts and texts/mms? Titanium backup shows the contacts and what not but it also says 2.3.6 at the end. I feel like restoring this 2.3.6 onto 4.0.4 might not work.
Also, I'm aware you shouldn't lose anything in the upgrade process but I want to factory reset and erase absolutely everything prior to this upgrade. I run a stock rooted ROM.

Yea that's what I'm saying. So is there another method to backup restore texts? I see a method to put them on the SIM but you can only do them individually.

Sadly no....
Either Kies the update to the device,( for unrooted stock devices) or use the stock rooted version from the "note everything" thread...(pending a rooted device of course.) Or you can Odin push the .tar image from another PC.
"Bigfau" has 3 stock rom variants, all rooted, and all stock. these are zip files, so I'm guessing you are already rooted with CWM ?
If so...you can just download/flash these variants....g

So I used to have a fully unlocked Dinc2 and I was able to pick ip this S4. Wow what a major difference. I stopped the auto update while in the store and obtained root. Now what do I need to do to keep root and not have the auto update ever happening again. Also I just put on cwm recovery nothing else. What needs to b done now? Am I able to flash any ROM/kernel here or are there restrictions? Thamks yall for the help. Looking forward to the great development that is gonna happen.

get titanium backup and freeze/backup+uninstall SDM that will keep updates from happening. (only for stock rom, once you install a rom it won't be a problem all roms have SDM disabled by default)
you can now flash any touchwiz rom however unless your cwm is loki'd you can't flash aosp roms (such as cyanogen mod, MIUI, aokp...)
so basically if you are not lokied you can flash only roms on the android development board if you ARE lokied you can flash those AND the ones in the ORIGINAL android development board.

Downgrading isn't possible. Neither is loading custom recovery. You now have a locked bootloader.

You can not downgrade, and attempts to do so will potentially trip your KNOX counter. At the very least you'll end up soft-bricked and have to do a repair install....of 4.3.

Meat & Potatoes:
I tried ODINing my GN2 back to stock 4.1.2 tonight - I rooted it a couple months ago. Did not install a custom ROM, just rooted (the process also replaced the Recovery).
Tried ODINing back to stock using the files and information found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207
When I run ODIN, it simply fails. Tells me "0 succeeded / 1 failed". Phone still works, I just can't get anywhere in the rolling back to stock bit.
Longer Version:
I've had the phone since the end of January 2013. I rooted it for a couple of reasons, mostly to get rid of bloatware, but also for an app or two that needed root access. I've had zero problems with usability or stability of the device before or since the rooting.
I couldn't tell you which root process I used, but I know it came from an XDA thread, and it automatically replaced the recovery with something touch-based. I'm not sure of the name of the recovery. It did not replace the ROM - I've had less than desirable results from using non-stock ROMs in the past on a handful of other devices, so I wasn't about to risk it.
Since VZW is rolling out the 4.3 update and it looks like a good deal, I want to get my phone back to non-rooted, non-custom-recovery'd state so I can install the update. I'm also doing it because I'm hoping they get the phone up to 4.4 down the line so I can use HCE and GWallet.
Currently, I'm downloading (very slowly, thanks sammobile, for not hosting files on your own servers) the stock VZW 4.3 package from Sammobile.com in hopes I can do something with that and just go straight up from where I am, but I'm not holding my breath since the OTA fails due to the custom recovery.
Any thoughts on what I might try differently to get ODIN to work?
Guys I had the same issue. What I did to resolve my issue is:
1. Get the Verizon upgrade assistance installed on your PC . Here's one from scoobysnack (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47368638&postcount=7&nocache=1&z=2813086102250963)
2. Boot to download mode
3. plug in USB and wait for the update message on your PC
4. Update should take about 30-40 min depending on your connection speeds.
5. once updated, your phone should boot back to normal, but you will LOSE everything and have to start all over.
Hope this helps.
