did you try re-downloading the file or wiping the phone (make sure you do a backup)?
did you try Odin or Mobile Odin?

You said you are on rooted stock rom? Why not just download the stock rom from sammobile or checkfus and install it over you current? (First time you can try without wipe)

Will do..can I use mobile Odin or manually flash in stock or custom recovery?

If I unroot, can I install ota update automatically from phone?

If you get your phone back to stock conditions, meaning unroot and status: not modified, you will get ota updates once the rom you installed gets its.

[Q] Flashing a rom

Do i need to unroot my device first.. i want to flash my device to 4.1 stock firmware, or wipe dalvik cache?..

my phone is currently rooted, i meant should i unroot before flashing?
whenever I flash a stock firmware via odin my phone gets unrooted automaticaly
I had the same question but after searching a bit, I was informed I could just flash using Odin. Most likely lose root but can be rerooted afterwards, at least that's what I was told.

Yup, just flash with Odin then flash cf root again afterwards

how to gain root back after jellybean update

I don't think that gives you recovery but you can flash that seperately anyway

i don't need recovery and all. i need to use tasker dpad, etc
As slaphead said, flash cf-root or auto root depending on if you need CWM. With mobile Odin pro btw you would keep root every time when you flash a new rom.

[Q] Stock recovery flash

Can i flash stock recovery with mobile odin
you can't flash a stock recovery. it comes with a stock rom, and mobile Odin is made exactly for flashing stock roms

So i can go to stock rom with mobile odin?
And bydeway i already flashed stock recovery with mobile odin and in works...
I was pretty sure there isn't a stock recovery separately from the rom.
of course you can flash a rom with mobile Odin, that's what it's for

You where wrong about the stock recovery flash it is possible...
But can i flash stock samsung rom with mobile odin and will it then make everything stock(recovery)(rom)and modified status too...
you are asking the same question for the third time, read my replies.
you will need to use Triangle Away, unroot, then factory reset for everything to be stock

heres my suggestion
once you already went back to stock rom, then your traiangle away but still want your phone rooted. what you can do is to search here in XDA the CFAutoroot for our S3 and your system status still be NORMAL. works for me
I used cf auto root and have always had stock rom. I still have modified status.

Flash back StockROM after flashing CustomROM

Hello guys ,
i have got a question. If I install CWM and CyanogenMod, can I reflash StockROM without any problems (with Stock Recovery and original kernel,baseband and csc)?
Can I use a one-piece flashfile for that or I have to use a three-part flashfile?
If I have to use a three-part flashfile, where can I get it? On samfirmware.com are only one-piece firmwarefiles...
Greetings...
Shouldn't be any problems, back up sd card in case you need to factory reset to get it to boot

I'll use pre-rooted stock rom from here . All things you've asked are included in package. If you use TA and do Factory Reset your phone will be rooted and Official/Normal at the same time

CSC is Samsung feature, not included in cm/aosp, modem....just make a note of you baseband, and if the Rom flash changes it just re-flash modem

Download the stock rom of your choice from SamFirmware, then flash with odin. Then boot into the phone's recovery and factory reset then reboot and voila.

Before I got my SIII, I used a Galaxy Fit and there I needed all files to flash my Firmware...
That's very nice to hear. Then are the other fields for files only for that if I especially want one of these files and not for flashing a new ROM?
Yes, it's optional. If you want to use for example a Rescue Firmware you'll need much more files and then more options must be ticked

Thanks, and this Rescue ROM is for making a factory condition?
Yes and No. I've just used it as Example to explain why there's more options in Odin. Rescue ROM is for bricked phones, if you flash accidentally with wrong ROM it can bring your phone back to life

Yes, but do not use unless you have too, it contains a .pit file which is the partition layout, .....not to be messed with unless absolutely necessary

I would suggest you to factory reset first.It will not remove cwm and root.
If that didn't solved the problem then you should update your firmware.

There is no need to remove them first.
Cwm recovery will be replaced by stock recovery and you will lose root if you flash fw with odin.

If you are flashing STOCK ROM with odin then you don't need to wipe data/cache/dalvik.
If you are flashing a CUSTOM ROM through cwm recovery then wipes are recommended.
