Make a backup of your stock ROM after step 6

but be aware that that recovery cannot be cleanly restored at this time.
The custom recovery is still very valuable - for installing CM11, and for getting ADB access to the device in recovery mode.
But a restore will need to be accompanied by a factory reset to get the stock OS to boot again, or an Odin reflash of the stock image. My take on it is that the android_secure files cannot be backed up by CWM as of now.
Anyone planning on flashing a ROM might consider downloading the stock image for their device before they start, IMO.

how to upgrade from 4.0.1 to 4.0.3

Can someone help me how to upgrade my GN to 4.0.3? I'm on 4.0.1 now and already rooted but i don't know how to update it to 4.0.1 because i'm new to this.
Can someone give me a complete instruction on how to do it. All the files needed.
Thank you
1. Go to dev forums, find a ROM you'd like (builded 4.0.3)
2. Download the ROM
3. Nandroid backup [optional; recommended]
4. Wipe settings,cache,dalvik
5. Flash ROM
6. Flash Gapps (if required)
7. Flash Kernel (if desired)
Verify you have Clockwork Recovery installed.
Sorry for my innocence, but how to do the ff.
4. Wipe settings,cache,dalvik
5. Flash ROM
6. Flash Gapps (if required)
7. Flash Kernel (if desired)
I'm new to this its my first android phone and first time to do all of this
PMJI - also new to android, I've been lurking around watching, still on stock 4.0.2
@ zephick - it reads to me as though clockwork mod recovery install would need to be done before following your instructions: yes / no??

That's what I meant by verify having Clockwork Recovery installed. There are multiple ways in doing this, you can either:
1. Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357642&highlight=clockwork
Download file, put it in your ADB tools folder
Go into bootloader mode
fastboot flash recovery whatever_the_recovery_file_is_named.img
2. Download ROM Manager from the market and flash CWR with that. [Need root]
@clancy: Yes you are absolutely correct. You need Clockwork Recovery. And no need to worry about lurking because that's what I did in my first year of XDA. After lurking so much, I was finally able to know what everybody was talking about and eventually contributed.

Of course it will still be stuck, you didn't clean the mess in your /system folder. ) You now have 2.3.6 and 4.1 having wild fun over there.
So, I assume, at this point, you have the stock ROM, with the stock recovery. So, what I suggest is that you read the little tutorial below and follow it exactly as it was written.
1. Download CWM for Samsung Galaxy Wonder from here. (It's also available in the development section here.)
2. Flash it via ODIN, by following exactly the same steps as for the ROM flashing.
3. Enter CWM and:
clear data (factory reset)
clear dalvik cache (under "advanced" menu)
go back one step and under "mounts & storage menu -> select "format /system" option. This step is crucial for a clean install!! Especially when changing Android versions.
under the same menu, go ahead and format /sdcard. (Be careful NOT to format /external_sd !)
At this point, you can choose if you want to flash the Samsung stock ROM again via ODIN or flash CM10 again (If you choose to flash CM10, I would suggest the latest version).
Now, if you want to reinstall the stock ROM:
4. exit from there and put your phone into Download Mode again (Home button + Volume DOWN + Power Button).
5. flash the stock ROM via ODIN
If you want to reinstall CM10:
4. go back to the main screen in CWM
5. go to "install zip from sdcard"
6. browse to the location of your CM ROM and flash it
7. flash the correct Gapps for your ROM
8. reboot
That's all. Good luck!
just wanna add one more thing in the end, if u wanna re install cm10 then install the alpha7 version so u can apply the combined mod which will work only on cm10 alpha7

[Q] Stuck in AT&T logo screen after TWRP nandroid restore

I rooted my AT&T GS3 after 4.3 OTA update with method #2 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538991
Then I made a TWRP Nandroid backup with Online Nandroid Backup app downloaded from play store. I immediately restored with that backup from TWRP because I would like to verify if the backup process working or not.
The phone did not boot up but stuck in AT&T logo screen for >20 mins. Wiping cache+dalvik didn't help. Factory reset didn't help.
I've already searched the forum. It looks like there is a similar thread there, but not exactly same as mine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2555120&highlight=nandroid
Is there any way I can get to rooted stock 4.3? If not, what are other options?
Finally I was able to come back with the following steps.
1. Download a "almost official stock rom" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47816011&postcount=18
2. Put the rom in SD card.
3. Boot into TWRP recovery.
4. Wipe->Format Data->Yes
5. Wide->Swipe to Factory Reset
6. Wide->Advanced Wipe->Check Dalvik Cache and Cache->Swipe to Wipe
7. Install->external_sd->AT&T_I747UCEMJB.zip
8. Reboot and enjoy
UPDATE:
Actually this only works for the first boot up. As soon as I boot into OS and reboot, it won't boot in OS anymore. The device was stuck at Samsung Galaxy logo, even not went far to AT&T logo. I guess I'll try another ROM.

The link is still working for me, but I wouldn't suggest you trying that because it can boot up only once for me.
I tried all the ROMs posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540998
Most of them can boot up into the OS *only once*. As soon as you reboot the device, you'll be stuck in Samsung Galaxy S3 logo. If you wipe data, it'll go further to AT&T logo, but just not the OS home screen.
I ended up with installing SlimBean by following the instruction here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539313
I really love it because of its performance and it's highly customizable.
UPDATE: Since I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539313 to installed the Slimbean, so my TWRP was upgraded from 2.6.3.0 to 2.6.3.1.
With TWRP 2.6.3.1, I was able to flash the "rooted stock rom" posted by loserskater here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47816011&postcount=18. The "no-reboot" problem is solved.

[GUIDE] Reflash LEX727 With Stock ROM After LEX720 Update

I flashed the latest 20s Chinese ROM to unlock my bootloader and had trouble getting back to LEX727 19s ROM with a working SIM card, this what I did to fix it.
Goal: Get LEX727 back to 727 ROM from any Chineese Variant (LEX720) with a working sim card.
Logic: We need to get the phone back to as stock as possible so that we can flash dr4stic's ROM That will update from CN5.8.018s to US5.8.019s. First we need to install CN5.8.018s, but we need to do it from stock recovery, to get stock recovery back we use a TWRP backup made by suhridkhan, then copy the CN5.8.018s zip, rename it to update.zip and allow the phone to do it's thing It will take quite awhile to flash the stock CN5.8.018s ROM, but when its done we can then install dr4stic's ROM, but first we need custom recovery again, since we flashed stock recovery when we used the TWRP backup. So we reflash custom recovery (I recommend GrossoShop's TWRP as that is what worked for me, however others may work). Reboot into fastboot, fastboot flash recovery the GrossoShop TWRP, then we go back to recovery. Now we can install the upgrade ROM. Once the upgrade ROM is installed, we can reboot and we'll have a completely stock version of the LEX727 ROM with Stock Recovery. (oobe state)
STEP 1 INSTALL WORKING ROM
1. You will need a working ROM to copy the TWRP unzipped files to the phone (figure this out on your own, but you should already have something that works)
STEP 2 STOCK RECOVERY
1. Restore this TWRP backup
1. Send the unzipped files to your phone in TWRP/BACKUP/<Device_ID>/TWRP. (You need a working ROM to do this with USB, you can try adb pushing the .zip and adb shell unzipping but I had permisison errors. and found it easier to just move the files unzipped)
2. Reboot into recovery, Advanced Wipe everything except Internal Storage (where your backup is)
3. Restore from the TWRP backup, before restarting, do a factory reset wipe and dalivik.
4. Reboot, and you SHOULD be in the LEX727 Rom, however your sim card will not be recognized depending on the modem firmware you came from.
STEP 3 GETTING DOWN TO CN5.8.018s
1. Since we have stock recovery, we can now use it to flash down to the right Chineese ROM version for dr4astic's ROM update to work.
2. Setup the phone, and copy LE_ZL1_LEX720_CN_5.8.018S.zip, then rename it to update.zip
3. Install the update through the phone settings or browser. (It will take quite a while 15ish minutes)
4. The phone may reboot into an endless boot loop where it just keeps redoing the same startup flash, To get past this reboot into recovery and perform a "Clear data" wipe.
5. You should now be in the stock version of LEX 720 5.8.018s
STEP 4 USING THE UPDATE ROM
1. We need to flash a custom recovery again (I recommend GrossoShop's as that is what worked for me, however others may work)
2. Reboot into fastboot and flash your recovery software
3. Wipe everything, data included and reboot back into recovery.
4. adb push the update ROM and install it, wipe dalvik and do a factory reset wipe before restarting.
5. When you tap restart system from TWRP the phone will vibrate for about 7ish seconds, dont do anything, just let it do its thing. It will reboot and go to a black screen, then finish rebooting.
(this is perhaps the most risky step as we are returning to a stock ROM with stock recovery and might loose our unlocked bootloader)
6. You should get everything back to stock ROM with working SIM card and an unlocked bootloader.
note: I will be saving local copies of all the files required indefinitely, so if any of the above links break, I will re-upload.
