[Q] Different Stock Recovery Mode - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Not so long ago I rooted my international i9300, installed CWM and started trying custom ROMs. After a while I wanted to go back to stock rom cuz I am planning on selling phone. I downloaded from Sammobile 4.3 custom rom for UK (my phone was from Hungary) and installed it via Odin.
Everything went well and everything is working properly, the only difference from before is that now when I enter recovery mode it shows BugDroid and under him it says Error, after that it goes into recovery mode which is similar to the stock one, it has all the same functions as the stock one but it certainly doesn't look like it; letters are not same size and color as they were before, and BugDroid in background is still lying on his back with red exclamation sign on it but now it says "no command" under it.
Everything is working properly on the phone but I am kind perfectionist and I like to do things right. Is there way to make it like it was before?
btw. I formatted everything I could before installing custom rom - all sdcards and everything so probably I deleted some files I shouldn't have

Yes by flashing a stock firmware or kernel and resetting the custom rom counter to zero .

phone needs to be rooted before you flash a custom rom.
have a read through the developer section and all the answers for your other questions will be answered.
first steps first though - read chainfires root and clockwork recovery thread first to see what tools you need and follow the guide to the letter - no exceptions!
.................lol or as above from JJEgan
Typically you will need to root your phone before you install a custom rom, and yes you can easily unroot. There are several guides in the development section to help you. Make sure you read thoroughly and understand what you're doing.

Read the FAQs in this sticky roll up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442549 and most of your questions will be answered.
Custom roms are flashed via cwm and stock are flashed by Odin. Most custom roms are pre rooted.

well the prob is that there are hundreds of pages, I've been looking and following instructions and guess what, I screwed my phone following those instructions, so I'm just asking if that's possible cause last time my phone got stucked in a bootloop that forced me to take it to service support

[Q] Supernexus 2.0 milestone 1 on I9300 internation

I've flashed this great mod by TRWP (wipe/factory reset before) on stock 4.2.1 EMC2 ROM
all work fine, great ! and many thanks to the developer
now the issue is that i'd like to reset my counter and I try to use Triangle Away last release
The program see correctly the staus and seems to be able to reset the counter but even if it told me that the reset was done correctly, it does not.
Any suggest ?
Suggest you read the faqs and guides .
It requires stock rom to reset is the basic answer .
TWRP what mod ???

TRWP is the cutom recovery used to flash SUPERNEXUS 2.0 ROM
so you are telling me that triangle away works only on rooted stock rom ?

As opposed to >>>>>>>>>>>I've flashed this great mod by TRWP
Leaves the impression that it was some mod by TWRP rather than a custom rom .
so you are telling me that triangle away works only on rooted stock rom

yes I've seen these two discussion but it seems not so clear and simple as you told
I've understood that it depends on kernel type if triangle away works or not, not if the ROM is original or not.
My question is simply related to SUPERNEXUS users and I cannot post in specific thread cause my few posts (less than 10)
anyway, many thank for your help

[Q] S3's Rom and Imei issues

Hey guys,
Well, I've had an IMEI issue recently after flashing stock rom back to my S3. When I have flashed the stock rom back, it's written, "Emergency Calls Only" and my IMEI became 0049 and so on. After a while of solution searching, I've seen some post about baseband and modem V1 V2 or something which I don't understand much about it. So, what I did was to flash back to my old rom I've used before and now it worked! and that rom was NeatRom based on XXEMH1.
Now, what I want to ask is, how can I go back to stock rom with my network working properly without emergency calls only and messed up IMEI?
Update: Read some guy posting things about this rom that I'm using. He said it has an outdated baseband or something and I guess I may have to flash kernel, modem to make it catch up with the ROM itself. about it, if anybody has the file, would you please provide me with links to download? Thanks.
Thanks in advance!
Go and read the basics in general, stickies before you flash anything else.
You can't flash any Rom with a modem earlier than EMG4 now, so your stock rom was probably before this.

[Q] Help needed after rom install Galaxy S3

Hi all, sorry for the noob question but i've searched lots of threads ( probably without the correct keywords) for the answer but to no avail.
So, I have CWM recovery installed and have installed a few roms without problems over the past few months. Today, I decided to try another rom but I've got problems. I installed Android revolution HD ROM and it seemed to install just fine but on reboot, it stayed on the Samsung logo screen for over an hour. No problem, I thought, I'll do a restore as I'd backed up my current rom but i can't boot into recovery, it just stays on the Samsung boot screen with the little red light on in the corner. I've tried pulling the battery but I don't know what to do now...can anyone help?
Follow the guide in general forum, stickies, on how to use odin and flash a stock rom for your country.

I did do a full back up before flashing this rom but my problem is that I can't boot into recovery to restore my backup.
