Could someone point me in the right direction of how to get back to completely stock - without root?
I can only find the guide to revert to stock with root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 And im also confused on what would be considered "stock" now since im pretty sure what originally came in the phone has been updated.
FYI im running AOKP milestone 6, and i also have a jig if that makes any difference. (also is there a flash counter i need to worry about?)
I have a captivate, and i used to use the one click odin flash to get it completely stock, is there anything like this for this phone?
I guess my last resort would be to do what they said in the thread linked, and then figure out a way to unroot?
thanks in advance for any help.

i think i linked the one your talking about. But would having it pre-rooted affect the rom at all? (i know probably a dumb question, but i want it completely stock)
EDIT: and should i go back to kh7 or kk6?

Here is the link to the stock one click package no root DL the first one. You will need 7zip to unpack it as well.... GL

EDIT: JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN AT&T SGS2 MODEL #I777 AND NOT A SKYROCKET #I727
A few more notes
1. Before you flash anything make sure your battery is charged...
2. Stock now would be UCLE5 ICS don't flash that tho it has a major bug in the kernel, KK6 has issues as well KH7 would be your best bet depending on what you want to do with the phone I will link you to two other threads at the bottom.
3. As long as you're flashing a stock package you won't trip the flash counter...
4. If you flash the stock no root KH7 package and it wont boot after, boot in to 3e recovery and wipe data/factory reset. If it does boot then boot back in to 3e and wipe data/factory reset to reduce any chance of FC's and issues...

im in a "rethink possible" bootloop. Any suggestions?
just went through the process again, still stuck at "re-think possible"
used my jig to get into DL mode and flashed from there.
and to answer a probable future question: yes i have an ATT i777
I was running AOKP milestone 6 before trying to flash this.

maybe im getting it confused with my captivate then, but whichever was the most recent version of AOKP as of a few weeks ago.
I didnt do any type of reset, i thought this would just wipe everything anyway.

First I apologize because this should go in the development thread, but I don't have enough posts to post in there.
So I followed creepyncrawly's guide to flash UCLE Stock ICS with root. I was coming from Rootbox v2.2.
Unfortunately, I forgot to wipe before flashing. Also, before I removed the usb plug from the phone, ODIN read "Removed!".
And now the phone gets stuck at the AT&T load screen. I can't turn off the phone, except by removing the battery, it will simply reboot. I can get into download mode. I tried flashing again, but same issue.
Should I try wiping then flash again, or may this brick my phone?
Thank you in advance.

Wrong goes in Q and A and this happened to me. pull the battery wipe the cache and factory reset and it will boot
Yea I realized again wrong thread, but I can't move it. Sorry.
And are you sure that a wipe is a good idea? Creepyncrawl's post says not to wipe with that kernel installed due to the eMMC Superbrick Bug.

I'm guessing it had something to do with 2.3.4 and 2.3.6 and something to do with a build, but where do I go from here? I tried wiping and I also tried using the Odin 1 click to go back to stock, and it's still broken. Like wtf?

If you are still on "back to stock" UCKH7 then enter 3e recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset. I know you said you wiped before, but it looks like you did that before you flashed back to stock. So try the wipe again from 3e recovery, and if that does not solve the problem, then let us know as your issue is more serious.
simplicityy, pls do not complicate your life but simplify it by not flash anything.
You wouldn't ask and suffer with the "crap" if you didn't play with it
Here's the help, since you did not want to provide detail info, I assume you KNOW what have done correctly.
Advice, get into recovery, wipe data/factory reset and see if it helps.
I rooted using the back to stock thing, but then I searched tediously and flashed a siyah kernel just to get CWM on the phone.
As of right now, it's on stock UCKH7 but rooted, but without a custom kernel. And I tried wiping using 3e recovery. Wi-Fi still broken.

That advice has already been given, and tried. Also, I do not appreciate your condescending manner. I'm not stupid. Why do I flash stuff? Because I find it interesting and it's good knowledge to learn about, PLUS it helps me have a sexier phone.
As for detailed info, what more information would you want that would provide use?

Firstly, I didn't say you're stupid. I know you just want to make your phone pretty, that's why you complicated your life. You want to learn? Sure, read more, that's all I suggest. READ MORE =/= STUPID. If you don't want to read, but just flash then ask then it's your choice.
Secondly, brandon has asked you some info, you reply was "I don't remember". You don't remember what you have done, where you get from. That's a sign of problem, m8.
Anyway, I just gave you an advice, take it or leave it.

Not sure what would account for that. I would suggest that you flash stock again. You can choose either the straight stock, or the stock plus root. Redownload the install file of your choice just to make sure you have a good download. Download links are in the guides linked in my signature. Do a wipe data/factory reset both before and after you flash. (for good measure.)
If you still have no working wifi, then I would suggest you start taking steps to see if your hardware is malfunctioning. You might try flashing the full UCKH7 firmware package which includes bootloaders and param.lfs from the Download Repository. Or you might try flashing Entropy512's UCKK6 stock plus root firmware package. Or you might try flashing the UCLE5 stock plus root firmware package that is available in the development section. Remember to do a wipe data/factory reset before flashing any of these firmwares, but read the warnings in the UCLE5 thread.

Obviously, the "if you aren't going to help, just don't post" didn't mean anything to you. And I like how you just ignore everything that was said. votinh didn't help.

Depends what you mean by FULLY wiping. I wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. If there's some other method of "fully wiping" that I don't know about, please do tell.
Update: I have re-downloaded the one click downloaders to go back to stock, rooted and unrooted. ( I tried both). Wi-Fi is STILL broken. This is getting annoying. It seems like nothing is working. Then again, I was never able to test out the Wi-Fi before I started rooting it. If it's a hardware error, I'm going to be pissed.
A full wipe includes the/system partition as well. Also what ROMS are you currently trying this with?

When I choose to flash a ROM, I flash phone bricker because I used Odin to flash a custom kernel to get CWM and then I use triangle away and flash back to ICScrewed 2.1 or unoriginal. Wi-Fi doesn't work at any moment, whether I am on 2.3.4, 2.3.6, stock, etc.
I still have yet to attempt flashing the second bootloader and param stuff creepyncrawly mentioned, but I've never done that and I know flashing that stuff can brick your phone, so I'm reading up on it so that I don't screw up.
So I have a phone rdy to go back to warranty due to phone turning off at any random shake. So I'm in the process of trying to get my clockwork backup and titanium back up files off the phone to the comp. However, on the latest aokp with stock kernal, i wanted to mount usb to transfer these instead of mtp. So i was thinking of trying different kernals because i think i read that somewhere you can do it with dream and siyah. After flashing and not finding out to do it on dream, i flashed downloaded siyah. Went to flash said kernel in recovery and while trying to do the three button combo I noticed it would not work, just stuck on Samsung galaxy s2 boot splash screen. Odd, booted back into aokp, pressed power to reboot into recovery. Same thing. My next step was to odin ucle5 stock root file. Still no go. Even tried odin uckh7 stock root, still no go. Anyone have any ideas? Can get into download and that's it.
*Edit*
After persistence, I finally got into stock 3e recovery which gave me access to a factory data reset. This is what i needed.
Since u used Odin ( not mobile Odin but the Odin on the computer) to flash I hope u reset ur flash counter before sending it back. If they check it and see it reads anything but 0 you may get a hefty bill for any new phone they send u.

Using odin to flash stock doesn't increment flash counter if thats what you're getting at

It's the fact that he no longer flies his flag... I've noticed a great deal less greatness from him since...

So yeah, I would like to know if it is possible to flash it on stock 4.0.4, unrooted kernel with Odin. I seem to have a sane chip.
And can I do a backup using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840223 without tripping the flash counter, rooting or overwriting the stock recovery (so without any traces of doing so)?
yeah you can, odin / mobile odin (pro version will get you rooted while flashing)

I'm assuming you responded to the question #1 so how about the second one?
Didn't check that thread, wild guess yes, you can (?)
You can also back things up with online nandroid back up

It's a temporary recovery so does that mean it will be removed on the next boot and doesn't permanently replace the stock recovery or leaves any traces?
CMW? gone once you flash a stock ROM.
After that, you can flash it again and be able to restore the back up you made.

So there's my backup method without rooting, right?
well....since you'll flash cmw you could easily root it while you at it.
What's that thread you posted about? CMW or a kernel?

PhilZ Touch, CWM based recovery
And I don't want to risk my warranty by rooting, all I want to do is get JB early

you can flash LS8 via odin. for rooting you can flash Philz latest CWM.
incase if you want to unroot flash back stock KS8 via odin.
Apparently the backup worked, I got no triangle on boot and the recovery disappeared when I powered my phone off so everything went just how I wanted

Once you flash ls8 warranty will be voided.

We already discussed this in another thread and now that I have a backup, I can just restore it later and get my warranty back

So what was that "I don't wanna be rooted" all about?
Odin flash is up. Mobile Odin recommended.

Well, I don't actually know, maybe I'm just paranoid about the flash counter and Triangle Away app
Does mobile odin bypass increasing flash counter??

Official ROM don't trigger those 2.
Triangle away clears them, as well as a USB jig.
Mobile odin also don't trigger them.
You're good.
Happy flashing.

Now that I have made a backup of everything, should I install XWLS8 with a full wipe or not? Which one do you recommend? And I have a sane chip so is it possible to brick my device that way?
Sane chip = off the hook.
Try flashing without wipping, if you get lag or issues than yeah, factory reset.
Works both ways.

Ok, thank you for your help even though I'm a total noob! Oh, and is 12% battery enough for flashing since the phone should be charging while it is connected to the PC?
Hi everyone. Is is true that there is a flash counter on the S3? So even if I flash a stock rom (which i did) with Odin, it'll still increase and so I wont be able to use warranty if i ever need to?
I don't plan to root my phone, and i just used a different stock rom because my old one had the freezing-bug that happens a lot lately, so what do i have to do in case i ever have the need to send the cell to repair?
Thanks in advance.
it's true.
no, stock roms don't increase it

You totally sure about this?
Thanks again...
I hope this is the right topic and I tried to find my problem but I couldn't.
While ago I had CWM flashed and Cm 10.1 running. Then there was some problem with my kernel so it kept freezing 1-5 minutes after boot. So I reflashed Samsungs ROM and it worked again. Then I flashed CWM again and tried to reset the flash counter using Triangle Away. It worked but always went back to one after reboot. So I installed CM 10.1 again and tried again and same problem.
When I had CM 10.1 installed first it worked perfectly. I could flash CWM and it wouldn't increase the counter.
I just flashed it again and tried to reset it again, but still the same problem. Do you guys have any idea what to do?
Thanks in advance
you have to be stock for it to be zero. CWM is not stock
Simple procedure
Run triangle away
Flash stock Rom
Enter recovery and factory reset (wipes data and internal sd)

But the thing is I got it to zero on CWM as well
Okay so basically I'm just holding on and leave it like this since I don't need my warranty right now and if I need it I'm running Triangle Away and then flash Stock.
I still think it's weird because it worked a couple days ago.

can't be on zero with CWM with the latest bootloader

Thanks for your answer. With which version of CWM does it work?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I think your confusion has arisen because originally you had an old bootloader....then when you flashed back to Samsung Rom if it was a later version it may have updated bootloader and that's why it always shows 1 now.You can flash back to the older bootloader if you want and your situation should be back to where it was in first place
Okay that makes sense. So if I wanted it to be zero and back on stock I would reset it, power off then in download mode then flash stock ROM again and then I'd a data wipe and my counter should be zero. Am I right?
Thanks for your help!!!
