No such thing exists .
You want the non XDA Samsung update route then flash your original saved rom to wipe root ..
Or just update via Kies .

I didn't know that. How do I get it so it doesn't try updating through CWM Recovery? Can I get CWM off?

Stock rom flashed removes CWM recovery .
But you are confused CWM recovery does not update that is Samsungs OTA .
Stock roms are posted in XDA General and available via KIES if released for your phone or via CHECKFUS and flashed via ODIN .

I downloaded the I9300XXBLFB stock ROM and extracted the recovery.img file from it. I flashed it the same way as I did with CWM. It appeared to be successful but it somehow still has CWM. I have even tried the stock recovery images from the Samsung Galaxy S3 toolkit but still has CWM even though it says upload successful. What on earth is going on?? I can't use Kies because I am currently using Ubuntu because Windows on my PC is messed up.
Flash the I9300XXBLFB stock rom via odin and the stock recovery is back.

After rooting my phone everything was great but then my usb port started to malfunction so to get it repaired i needed to remove root and CWM, after flashing the stock rom (XWKI4) root still shows under kernel version and CWM and superuser still remain.
Am i doing something wrong? I have CF-root with CWM mod my phone info is...
PDA:I9100XWKI4
PHONE:I9100XXKI1
CSC:I9100CPWKH1
any help much appreciated...
Factory reset and or flash a stock kernel .
jje
I've tried factory reset and flashed stock via Odin. :-( I'm using XWKI4 pda
Then you are doing something wrong as stock flash changes kernel and removes a rooted kernel . use a different download or firmware .
jje
Should I be using just the pda section of odin or csc and phone too?
Should I try a different firmware for my phone to see if that works?

Follow the instructions from the relevant thread you are getting the firmware from depending upon how many parts are to be flashed .

YES

was on AOKP Jelly bean.. everything was fine...
then i fash ARHD 2.1.1 then it didnt start... was it the superwipe?
and because of the superwipe, i do not have CWM in my phone... i only have download mode.. so i used odin.
which gave me this problem.
i tried flashing CWM using odin. which was successful, but then once i reboot it went back to download. not recovery, which means i lost my root rite? and stuck again at samsung logo. so all i need now is to restore to factory settings by odin and download mode.. no other way. so which file shud i use?
Using Non Samsung roms i always .
Factory reset
Remove battery
Install a stock rom via Odin .
Then root .
Nandroid restore or flash new custom rom .
In fact just done that from AOKP JB rom

You can`t as you have a custom recovery, try updating with Kies but you will loose root (so reroot) or better yet buy Mobile Odin Pro and flash the new rom from www.sammobile.com/firmware and keep root

Unzip the file from sammobile, place the tar file on the external sd card. Open Mobile Odin and choose open file, select the tar file (firmware) and check all boxes in root and flash firmware. Done.

That, or just use Odin on your PC. It's a bit less hassle.

Hey guys, so I am rooted but with stock firmware, however I used Titanium to remove certain stock software, etc...
1)If I update via Kies, will it keep my current settings? or will it just flash a new rom altogether and erase everything?
2)Once I update, do I just go through the same steps I did to root my s3 the first time?
Thanks.

1). it will keep your current settings, app & data (because you not do "wipe cache" at OTA update), if you installing custom firmware (from stock to custom firmware, it will be need "wipe cache/factory reset in recovery mode, but this method doesnt applied on OTA update/KIES update), but i suggest to backup your data before upgrading..
2). yes, just root like you root at first time..

What isn't working? Did it flash successfully but not boot? Just do a factory reset. If it didn't flash completely, then you have to let us know what happened before it failed.

Ok, so typically when people say they flashed a rom, that means a custom version through a custom recovery. But you said earlier you tried to install through Odin. This is an important distinction. If you tried to flash a custom rom and it didn't work, then flashing the correct stock firmware through Odin will resolve. If you flashed through Odin and it gave you that warning, then you need to find the right one and re-try.

Yup what i tried to do is flash an arabic rom instead the Chinese stock one but if failed on the phone it said invalid at the end so if i flashed the Chinese stock one back from odin will it work or not
Yes, flashing the original firmware via Odin should get you working again.

Possibly, but if the system had already been modified, I find Odin to be a more reliable fix.
