[Q] Help in Unrooting my device - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have rooted my galaxy s3 gt-i9300, my phone details are
AP or PDA: I9300XXEMD3
CP: I9300XXEMA5
CSC: I9300OJVEMC1
PAK
I have downloaded the two files from the website
samsung-updates[dot]com/details/11748/Galaxy_S_3_International/GT-I9300/PAK/I9300XXEMD3.html
One file is kernel file odin flashable (in .tar format 5.2 mb in size) and second is the 1.2gb .tar file which I think is the ROM.
Could anyone tell me.
What is the kernel file odin flashable?
How to use these two files with odin to unroot my smartphone?

I have downloaded the two files
I9300XXEMD3_I9300OJVEMC1_I9300XXEMA5_HOME.tar.md5 (1.2gb in size)
KERNEL-PAK-I9300XXEMD3-1366706762.tar (5.2mb)
what to do with the second file

just flash this one file I9300XXEMD3_I9300OJVEMC1_I9300XXEMA5_HOME.tar.md5 (1.2gb in size) make sure to flash it in pda. this will unroot and install stock kernel system and recovery the second file you do not need. factory reset phone after flashing if it does not boot or continuous bootloop occurs

Follow the link to general > sticky roll-up. Read the 2 return to stock guides. 2nd one has better details about triangle away

[Q] ROM Confusion

Hi all,
I just downloaded this stock ROM from SamFirmware.com as it was a KG6 build and I wanted to give it a shot. When I went to unzip the ROM, it contained 5 files. I know which files go where in Odin when there are 4 files but this one has got me confused. The confusing part for me (being a noob) is the fact that there is a Kernel and a Code file...where do these 2 files go under? They both can't possibly be selected under the PDA section so is one a boot loader file??? I have taken a screencap of the zip file contents so that hopefully someone can explain where the 2 particular files go in Odin.
Thanks all.
How about following the instructions first .
Who told you to unzip it ???
Odin flash tar file via PDA .

Well he would need to unzip the archive if he wants to use the included tarballs to flash his device.
@OP: When you open Odin 1.85 just put the following in the slots as below:
PDA: Code_I9100XXKG6.......
Phone: Modem_I9100XXKG6.......
CSC: GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKG6.....
Ignore the rest of the files. Don't need to use .pit file and make sure you don't tick repartition. I would encourage you to read up on using Odin first if you don't know what you're doing before attempting to flash.
Thanks Intratech..I am familiar with Odin as I have flashed my device successfully many times. Just never encountered both the Kernel and Code in the same zip so wasn't too sure whether I should use both or just one.
just curious but what is the actual difference between the two??
also, pit file is used to reset the path no?? as in wipe the lot except cutom binary hits??
cheers
col
Also wat happens when u do click repartition??? Done it by accident once phones fine??
Wat does pit stand for!?
Partition info tree? Lol who knows?

If you dont know what thats for, then i suggest you dont play around with it :S
where do i put the stock firmware
i just downloaded all four this morning and i only used the stock firmware in PDA in odin
do i still have to flash the other 3?
thx
Or just the firmware is ok?
You're asking us about flashing instructions for firmware you downloaded from another site. How bout going to that site & following their instructions for flashing same ?
no i already flashed the stock firmware, and i dont c any problems within a day.
just wonder what are the other 3 downloads use for and do i still have to flash them?

Stock firmware should be the full file with PDA Modem and CSC
No mention of 3 files in the instructions there .
How to install the latest firmware on your phone. This will also get rid of Bell's bloatware:
1) Make sure you have working drivers installed on your computer. If you do not, the easiest way is to download Kies and it will install it for you.
2) Install Odin 1.85 on your computer (attached at the bottom of this post)
3) Pick any firmware version you would like to flash from Intratech's thread linked here. The firmware is arranged from oldest to newest so the last ones are obviously going to be the newest.
4) Start Odin in "administrator" mode and make sure Kies is not running in the background. Use task manager to check
5) Place your downloaded firmware .tar or .md5 file into the PDA section in Odin. Make sure re-partition is not selected. Auto reboot and reset time should be selected by default.
The stock rom link says
If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file.
If it has multiple .tar archive then:
The .tar with modem in the name is the phone/baseband bit of the package
.tar with csc/multi-csc in the name is the csc bit of the package
.tar with code/PDA in the name is the PDA part of the firmware package
If this is the case you will need to put these .tar archives in the specific areas of Odin to flash the update
thx
yea it didnt mention about the other 3 packages in that post
but i think as long as i flashed the stock one, i should be fine and dont need to care the others right?

It's a zip file so you have to flash it from recovery... A custom recovery like cwm or twrp or philz recovery

Considering you have installed a custom recovery such as twrp or cwm. Just get into recovery mode and flash the zip file (as it is) after backing up your data and fully wiping the device. And don't forget to backup the EFI partition, that's very important.

or better yet - don't touch it before you read the guides, it looks like you have no clue what you're doing, you'll end up with a paperweight in no time. hit those FAQs

[Q] how to flash firmware downloaded from SAMFIRMWARES

I downloaded latest indian firmware from SAMFIRMWARES.com,""S5830IXXMC1_S5830IODDLK1_INU.zip"" later i extracted and got ""S5830iXXMC1_S5830iODDLK1_RST_S5830iDDMC1_HOME.tar.md5'' AND ""SS_DL.dll"" files.
With din 1.84 i put the file in pda and flashed it but it failed and tried with pit file but also filed.But rebooted successfully.
How do i flash it.Is their any easy methods to convert t multipackages.(I unticked re-partition and flashed)
u didn't read the FAQ did u?
u the used older version of odin...
use odin 3.07
google it...u will find one...
no need to use pit file..
just put that md5 file in pda and flash it :thumbup:

Help fast please, I think I bricked my phone

-------
If you have a single file firmware, try the Odin flash again......but this time, put the file in pda.......don't touch pit or repartition though.....good luck
Edit.....are you using a firmware specifically for your device model?

Probably best not to try to extract parts of the firmware to flash individually......just extract the whole package to tar format.....then flash it in PDA via Odin......
And if your phone isn't rooted then stock firmware flashing is all you can do........
