[Q] how to unroot my s3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please can anyone help me?
I need to unroot my s3 and put a UK T-Mobile ROM back on it as I am exchanging it for a new one through insurance due to dropping the phone.
The screen still works but has a small crack in it.
Cheers in advance

Go into the general section and follow the unroot guide.

Basically you need to reset flash counter by downloading TriangleAway app (its available here on xda) then just download your official rom from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9300#firmware, flash it through odin and restore factory settings. There should be in deph tutorial in general section.

Debrand and Root help

Hi,
Sorry if this has been posted before i am a bit of noob on android.
I have got myself Galaxy S3 locked to Three network i have looked all over the forums but managed to confuse myself
I want to debrand and root my phone but i don't know what to do first do i root before flashing stock to the phone or flash with stock first then root.I really don't want to brick it lol.
I would like to open it for all networks also.
P.S Im in UK model number GT-I9300
Thank you
Steveo
First u have to flash the debranded firmware you want with Odin theN do a cf root then after u have rooted you can go to play store and download voodoo galaxy s III sim unlock
If I helped say thanks
Hi
Thanks for the quick reply.
So do i just flash the stock rom for the uk straight to my phone using odin3 v1.85?
will it wipe everything from my phone once i do this contacts etc..
Stock rom does not wipe .
Root will be wiped if you flash stock rom after root so in your case stock followed by root .

Thanks for the help guys.
I managed to get their in the end.
what did you do in the end ? I want to do the same and remove the Vodafone branded firmware off my S3 and just add stock firmware on..
Cheers
Go to samfirmware.com and flash your Rom of choice through Odin.

What you need to do is to first reboot into recovery, format /system partition, THEN flash the stock rom by Odin...... hope I helped

This happened to me
I had the same problem when I first unrooted. Go into stock recovery after flashing the official ROM and do a factory reset.

Used Odin to root from - wrong software, HEELLLP :(

Why return it to stock? I would recommend flashing an i9305 recovery from Odin then flashing an i9305 pre-rooted ROM via recovery....
However, heres how to return it to stock.

You need it to boot (With rooted) to be able to reset the counter though. It may not even need resetting yet though. Check download mode for info

Hey man, he is using the 19305 model from Australia.
I just need a link that refers me a site or post that will let me download the Stock rom, or any rom that will allow the s3 to be usable again.

You first need to register in order to download it. After that just key in the details and download the right firmware as Jeetu said. You can then follow the tutorial on galaxys2root.com to unroot your phone!
