What is the safest way to get these phones back to factory? Wanting to remove any root/roms/all files.
Did you try flashing a stock ROM with Odin?

I have an OF1 build and was looking at using this firmware with ODIN. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/guide-sch-i545-vrugof1-look-t3395833
Would I flash this and then do a factory reset?
Mods can delete this post if it is considered doubleposting.
I recommend the stock firmware from sammobile.com.

Hi,
Is it safe to flash a stock 2.3.6 firmware (let's say KL1) on a never rooted stock 2.3.4 XWKI4 through Odin?
Thanks.
Yes that it safe.

Thanks. And thanks for a quick reply. But will it add a number in the Flash Counter.
Thanks.
Yes, but you can erase the flash counter with the jig that costs about £1
Stock roms do not add to custom rom counter .
ROOTING OR CUSTOM ROMS DO stock DOES NOT .

Hi guys.
Well I was teaching my friend via FB how to use Odin to root his s3, unfortunately he forgot to mention that he was using the 4g version 19305.
So we have flashed the 19300 files on the device using Odin, and now his phone will only boot into download mode I beleive.
I just want to be able to restore his phone to stock, unroot and reset counter.
ANy help is truly appreciated.
Thnk you.

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.

Hello,
Find your JB firmware from sammobile.com and flash it via Odin.
But don't forget to make a full wipe, before flashing anything.

Can I install this on my Galaxy S3??
I9300??? If so yes. If not no. Sammobile.com is a good place to go for firmware.

Can you give me the link of the latest firmware?
Just download nb6 .stock firmware is all the same to me. I don't use "stock" unless I have to. Why don't you try a custom firmware rom like allianceROM or neat ROM ect ect . you need to be rooted and have custom recovery to install these roms though.
If I'm on rooted stock ROM with custom kernel, what's the best way to update to 5.1.1 without a wipe?

I ended up using the Smart Switch to revert to stock. Stock apparently doesn't have an update for me, so I tried to Odin the latest XEU version. However Odin won't see my phone
