Yeah, you got your answers there. No one can tell you the exact rom you should use, because it is not allowed. Search the original android development section and read the comments. There are plenty of good stock based roms. As for the official sammobile stock roms, you can flash them only with odin, like it or not

I9300 rooting-unrooting

Hello everybody, I'm new here And I got newbie question.
I want to root and install Custom ROM'S to my device(I know how to that), I'll make my stock ROM 4.1.2 backup(in CWM). I was searching, and found, that I can un-root my device(get back warranty), but every tutorials says, that I will need download stock rom from Sammobile, but there arent firmware from my region. The question, do I will be able use my own backup like stock firmware in un-root proccess ? (Dont dowload firmaware from sammobile, but use own backup) If answer is "Yes", second question is, do I be able to recieve official updates after restore (OTA, KIES) ? Thanks for answers.
no. I mean, you will unroot but you will still have a custom recovery (CWM), and that voids your warranty

that, or follow the instructions for returning to the warranty state.
or if your recovery backs up /recovery partition then restoring the backup will overwrite CWM too
I'm confused Thanks for answers.

[Q] how to unroot my s3

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.

[Q] s3 I9300 not rooting...tried all method

hello devs,
i have an international variant GT-I9300 . I upgraded it with the ATO(OPEN AUSTRIA) . After this upgrade ,i was not able to root ...i used the CF AUTO ROOT , SUPERSU , and even mobogeine root method . its getting failed....
please help me devs......i would like to root it...either to get a stable international variant ROM.
If you intend to then flash a custom rom then don't bother rooting your stock firmware, all custom roms are already rooted.
If you want to stay stock then flash a prerooted version via odin, get a link for one on xda in general forum.

so...in case if i flash PHILZ RECOVERY or CWM ......without rooting........ will my phone get bricked ???...
Check out Cyanogenmod Installer follow the instrustion it will root and install the latest stable CM for your phone .
You are still missing basic knowledge, you can't flash anything with stock recovery.
Flashing recovery doesn't require root, but you can brick the phone if you don't understand what you are doing.
