Hey everyone.
I want to ROOT my SGS3 and install custom ROM and KERNEL, but first I want to know how can I get back to STOCK FIRMWARE after rooting and be able to get all the official updates and warranty from SAMSUNG?

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.
I have had a GS3 for a few months now and a few weeks ago my friend showed me how to install the polish jellybean update for my phone (I don't have a polish gs3 but he said it was safe to do ) and it was pretty easy.
I have decided to use a custom rom now. I have already rooted my phone but before I install a custom rom I was wondering how easy it is to go back to the polish version that I have downloaded if I don't like it.
Thanks and hopefully this is the right part of the forum to post this in.

Thank you. If I want to try out different custom roms do I have to go back to official firmware first or can I just install a custom rom over another custom rom?
Hi,
You can flash a custom rom without going back to the "original version" (stock rom that came installed in your GS3) - Just keep in mind that you must do a full wipe in your device (data/cache and dalvik).
You just need to flash the CWM via odin and then flash the custom rom via CWM.
You just need to follow this instructions here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238)
And than follow the instructions of your favorite custom rom to install it.
Cheers

OK, but he doesn't need to go back to the stock rom before flash another custom rom. To try another custom roms he only needs to do the wipes and follow the instructions of the custom rom to install it.
If I want to try out different custom roms do I have to go back to official firmware first or can I just install a custom rom over another custom rom

but CWM is still on the phone, so its not like 'original'. Isn't it?
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.
