WARNING: SOME USERS ARE REPORTING THE TOUCHSCREEN IS NOT WORKING AFTER FLASHING - WILL UPDATE AS MORE IS KNOWN
This isn't my work, just putting it all in one location. Thank the appropriate people. I put this here because I saw multiple requests from people asking where the stock ROM can be found and how to root it.

Stock Rom - You can get it from Sammobile.com granted you register for a free account. Or you can use the download link provided by Kevinthebox Link HERE
1. Install ROM via Odin 1.85 - instructions on using odin can be found all over the forum. Please know what you are doing with Odin, you can brick if you aren't careful. Remember to NOT CHECK THE REPARTITION BOX, and use the PDA slot.
2. Let ROM boot for the first time, this will take a while. *Note - this would not get past the splash screen coming from CM10, so I had to Odin back to HC stock, and then Odin to 4.0.4. Once this was done it booted fine.
3. Download SU pack here: Root Zip courtesy of mohan_kr over in the skyrocket forums.
4. Transfer zip to your device.
5. Install a custom recovery via Odin, same way as you did the ROM. Stock recovery on this ROM will only allow for Samsung signed zip. I chose to use TWRP courtesy of dan-htc-touch. Recovery Link: TWRP OR This Post
6. Boot into recovery holding power and volume up, and install zip.
7. Reboot device, go into market, and install superuser. In the superuser app, update the binary.
All set.
TWRP
The TWRP install via Odin in download mode failed for me, so I had to reflash the ROM to get it straightened out. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know if this version of ics has the brick bug issue other tabs have had? Seems the stock version of ics could brick your device if you do wipes or factory reset in a recovery, specifically cwm but might be twrp too.

First, thanks to all the Devs that put in all this work for free!
There has much confusion around unrooting the GSII. Zedomax was kind enough to make a once click unroot for us but there is trouble with it removing the customer kernels that have been included in some of the roms. I have put to together one place where there will be working links for everything that has gone missing. Getting stated there are multiple methods to unroot the phone and bring it back to stock, ODIN and Clockwork MOD recovery
Clockwork Mod Recovery Method:
Step 1. Download these 2 files :::Stock Kernel::::Zedomax's unroot rom::: and put in the root (meaning not in a folder) of the SD card.
Step 2. Boot the phone into recovery mode by hold vol +/- and power once it shows the Samsung logo let go of everything (Or from the power menu if you are using the JUGGERNAUT best rom IMHO).
Step 3. Using volume +/- key highlight "Install Zip from SD card" select it with the POWER key then using the same method select "Choose zip from SD card"
Step 4. Highlight the downloaded file (should be named "kernelstockcwm.zip") and select YES wait for it to complete
Step 5. using step 3 and 4 now select "SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax" and YES.
DONE! Phone will be mostly stock, at least enough to return the device with out worry. (Zedomax's restored rom is dodexed tho)
ODIN METHOD-
Step 1. Download files to computer
ODIN LINK
Kies LINK
STOCK TAR (Thanks to Przekret) Rezipped and checked files (Odined my self back to stock) and removed password
Step 2. Install the KIES program on your PC REBOOT then extract ODIN and the Stock zip file to a folder on your computer.
Step 3. Run ODIN and put your phone in Download mode. (Have usb plugged in the computer and Hold VOL +/- on the phone and plug USB in) Once you see the download mode screen hit VOL +
Step 4. Select PDA from within odin and navigate to the extracted .tar.md5 file and hit START. When it completes give 6-10 min the phone will automatically reboot for you.
STEP 5. Thanks to Mikeyinid If you get a boot loop reboot the phone into recovery (Volume up+down and power until Samsung logo appears after let them go. Highlight Wipe data/Factory reset and select with power)
Hope this helps, didnt really see a definitive howto with steps and working links.

Thanks for this guide, wish I would have known before.
I'm on my second SGS2.
No offense to zedomax, but his zip shouldn't be included in any unroot/return to stock how tos. The odin package is the only true method. Zedomax's zip is deodexed, and while T-Mobile may never know, its still not stock. Not to mention the fact people have already reported in several other threads that his zip is not flashing the stock kernel.

Agreed sir, hopefully people will flash the stock kernel first, but yeah your right. More options the better especially if your in a pinch with no Odin access zedomax's way will pass but only true stock is via Odin.

nice thread!! great for noobs
I've had no success in flashing the pre rooted .zips through clockwork. Shabby's would not boot past samsung screen for me and the other one posted in general by saladinacc had no data. When I flashed the .tar everything worked fine just had no root. Here's the way I got root.
1. Download ODIN & flash FB17 .tar from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505437.
2. Download a GB kernel with built in recovery, I used Rogue Kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341564.
Download .tar and flash through ODIN. Do not try to reboot into system as it will not boot yet with the GB kernel.
3. Download SU.zip from here http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip. Boot into CWM recovery and flash su.zip. Again, do not try to reboot into system as it will not boot yet with the GB kernel.
4. Download stock FB17 ICS kernel from here http://www.mediafire.com/?f571n4e8wdhud21 and flash through CWM.
Reboot to system and you should have rooted stock FB17.
After flashing back the stock FB17 kernel you will lose clockwork.
This is just a quick and dirty work around until the devs release a pre rooted CWM zip.

thinking about giving this a try. Just one question, after Odin'ing the GB kernel, doesn't Odin Automatically try to reboot you into system? How do you stop it from doing that so you can boot into recovery and flash su...etc.?

Hello all,
I was hoping one of you can help me. I purchased an s4 m919 yesterday from Tmobile. It is fully stock and it arrived with 4.2.2 M919UVUAMDL.
I am no stranger to the world of rooting,roms and cwm. I had an s2 back in the day so I am no stranger to odin either. Basically my goal is this:
1. Install CWM
2. Backup Stock FW in CWM
3. Install Custom rom from dev section
My process with odin is as follows:
make sure all is UNchecked except auto reboot.
place appropriate cwm tar in "pda" section
click start.
The process begins and instead of passing it fails. My phone also softbricks and I have to restore with kies.
I've already restored and bricked once thinking that maybe the first time was a bad download.
I have no ideas. I've googled and searched on xda and nobody seems to have a problem flashing recovery.
Let me know if more info is required.
Thanks,
frustrated and confused
Are you rooted? Try installing through the Rom Manager app itself?
After you have rooted download cwm from market and follow the prompt's once clock work mod has flashed do a backup and you will need to download ad away by chain fire this will reset the flash counter and once that is done enjoy flashing
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium HD app
Well it looks like ive run into a more immediate problem. Like i said I tried it once and it bricked I succesfully recovered with kies. I tried another download and the same thing happened. I went to restore with kies and now im getting an error in kies about 70% in. I need to go to emergency recovery and I do and that errors out. If problem persists contact samsung. Great.... I'm going to try and restore to stock using odin but my phone just seems to hate odin.
Edit: i tried restoring stock image in odin and fails almost right away. what is with this phone ?!
Try another USB port, and stock USB cable if you aren't using it. If you are grab a different cable and try it. If still errors out try another computer.
From my understanding you should have auto reboot UNchecked when Odin flashing CWM. Pretty sure you're supposed to leave everything unchecked and then after it's finished you unplug, pull the battery and then turn on the phone. Looks like your problem is before this though, so I would try another computer and make sure that you're using the stock cable.

Yes I think so I don't think having auto reboot checked would cause it to fail so bluntly. Am i just destined for a stock sgs4? Times like these makes me miss my nexus 4. I wish the damn thing hadn't broken=( oh well.. let me know if you have more questions.
Just follow a video step by step if anything. I prefer TWRP over CWM. If you do use TWRP make sure you use version 2.5.0.2 as 2.6 has been having problems!

I know it's that easy. that's exactly what I do. it fails everytime and softbricks my phone. Let me as this, is there a need to unlock the bootloader?
In tring to flash a rom i took an extra step and accidently deleted the os.
Previous to this, two months back, i attempted to flash a couple diffrent Macksrom versions, allstar v5 being the one recently.
I havent had succes flashing any, when a ttempting to flash months ago i did get to flash perseus kernel.
Attempted to flash back to stock and unroot with odin, this past week but my sprint GN2 isnt regestring on odin.
Tried having odin up then download mode and visversa.
Tried different usb ports.
Even tried a diffrent pc, drivers are up to date on both and seems GN2 will not connect to odin.
Please help. Thanks
Find another cable. If it still doesnt work reply here. I will think of another way to do this. Now when you say you wiped the os, what process did you do?

Using twrp i attempted to flash Macksrom Allstar V5 it failed as it always has when ive tried to flash a rom.
It reads
Finished running boot script.
E:unable to open zip file.
Error flashing zip'/ extsd/
Updating partion details...
I proceded to atempt the flash again and chose to wipe, unknowingly i must have wiped the OS as i tried to reboot twrp warned
No OS installed. Proceed?
I failed to mention on one of the computers i tried to connect to odin. Odin did have a teal com indicator that never turned yellow as it should.
Futhermore i didnt get to flash the stock rom as it hasnt connected. I downloaded the stock from a web site that the guy on rootgalaxynote2.com suggested.
Its

Is there any reason why the GN2 would not be read by odin in download mode?
For more help on this I will ask the mods to move this to the correct section. For future reference if your question is device specific and your device has a forum, then you can post in the q&a for your phone. I am unsure of what could be causing the issue at this point. But I know alot of people in that section are smarter and have more experience than I.

Thanks for the help so far. I am able to consistanly get a teal [COM] indicator on odin now, must have been combination of cords and pc ports.
Yet my drivers are up to date why isnt it yellow so i can flash?
Is tgere a number in the box next to com? Is what you are using a one click? If so I think its supposed to be teal. If you see a com number flash.

Using odin3 version 3.07 teal [com7] im not sure if its one click. The stock firmware is from samsung-updates.com the tutorial i watched said if com is teal to download drivers and it will be yellow and im ready for lash.
Aother question instead of the stock could i just flash the rom i intended to orginallly by
Unzipping and flashing the tar file via the pdf, even if its teal?
I would not recommend flashing an unzipped rom through odin. What you could do is just try to flash the tar version of twrp from goo.im. make sure its for this phone. Once flash bpot to recovery and flash.

Have you tried to restore? I had that happen to me. It said no os installed so I went back and restored my backup. What I think happened is that you are running a 4.2.2 ROM and you're trying to flash a 4.1 ROM and it causes some kind of conflict. I am not an expert but I think that's what happened in my case.

Just a quick question. Are you running odin as admin? If not try that

So I re partitioned my phone last week and screwed it bad. SO YES I DO NOT HAVE A OS. but I been trying for the past 3 hours to replace it. I downloaded the Stock rom for the SPH-L900 and tryed to replace it using ODIN 3.07 and ODIN 1.87. No joy. I get the "sboot.bin" fail error. I found another link that is supposed to take the phone back to 100% stock but the download in the link is saying a day or so of downloading due to me trying to use the public library's wifi....I honestly dont know if it will work but for those who are having problems with sboot.bin here is the link. I take no credit and I am not responsible if you melt your note II. Hell im gonna try it soon as I can so mine may be melted too. best of luck

Hi Guys,
I am trying to update to 4.3 and installed team win recovery a long time ago. Running 4.1.2 now and when i do the update from settings --> about device --> software update when it restarts it just shows me the regular recovery screen. How do I make it continue with install, I dont care if I lose root etc. Or where can i download the stock recovery. Open to any suggestions but need 4.3 for knox at work, better than using a Blackberry......

I think you should strat by reseting your phone to its original state and you can to this following the tread of the toolbox(i'm browsing woth tapatalk now so i will try to come back and post the link but it should be easy to find). You will use triangle away in the process.
Then update your phone trough samsung kies.
Voila complete stock 4.3 with knox

I think you are looking for 4.1.2 stock recovery right???? Just making sure I understand, if I'm right I have what you need.
Hi, yes I just want to replace the clockwork recovery with the original Samsung recovery so I can upgrade to 4.3 over the air.
If that's what you are talking about please send a link.
They're are downloads for the t mobile Sprint ave Verizon variants but not AT&T...
Thanks

You can update to 4.3 with a custom recovery, or flash it via ODIN.
Check it out before you do OTA.

Can you still get to TWRP ? team win recovery ?? ....
But I think Zen's plan will be better.....
Here's the cwm/twrp zip for ucamc3 recovery.... (attached)
Note that the OTA may still fail if it detects anything missing or different than what it expects. In that case, a wipe of /system, then a revert to MA4, may be needed.
You want me to go back to TWRP? I have the stock recovery right now.

The simplest path is to reflash TWRP, then flash the recovery I provided above, then see if the OTA will complete.
You might also be able to get the OTA to complete by running the openscript option from TWRP .. I know DS has had some success with that, but ymmv. If you try this option, you may get more information about where the OTA fails - take note of that and report back.
If that doesn't work then the next option would be to wipe /system and then odin flash UCAMA4. This should get you a clean OTA path to 4.3, and your data and apps should be preserved (although there is some risk). I recommend making backups beforehand in TiBu and then copy your SDCard contents to PC.
Thanks for you help will report back later. have to wait another 20 hours to dl the OTA update again.
You can turn off auto update of network time and set your time ahead 24 hours.
An alternative if ota doesn't work is to flash the stock rooted mk6 package - odin or cwm odex... DS provided a link earlier.
If Knox is a work requirement, you would need to decline SuperSU offers to disable Knox and you would need to run SuperSU and request full unroot.
