My phone is Samsung Admire carrier is MetroPCS. The phone is rooted. I want to have a copy of the factory mod because I am somewhat of a Noobie when it comes to custom roms. Is there anyway to make a backup from my phone before I flash it to another or is there a image of the original out there somewhere for me to download. Any suggestions would be benifical.

Today my U.S. cellular Galaxy S III should finally make it here. I apolgize if this is a "noob" question, and have been reading through the forums.
It appears i should get a SCH-R530 model from reading today in the mail. With it being so close to Verizon model, will any of the Verizon ways to root the S3 work with the US Cellular version? If not is there any way currently to root a U.S. Cellular S3?
Thanks for any help

If I'm not mistaken the root method for the VZW SIII should work on that phone. HOWEVER, the same image that is in the dev forum SHOULD NOT be used. It is the stock Verizon with su and Superuser.apk added.
If samsung-updates.com drops a stock image of your phone a system.img can be built so that is flashable via Odin. Regardless, before you go flashing anything you should make sure you have that stock image around so you can get back to square one if anything odd should come up.
EDIT:
If you're interested in building the rooted system image here is the thread where they actually were able to build a clean root from the stock Verizon dump: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204 It's not a pretty process. The actual instructions used came from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 I didn't see a drop for the US Cell image yet, but I could be missing it. I can be of some help later this evening if nothing has come up.
Root / Recovery / Custom ROM USCC Galaxy S III
I was able to root my USCC SGS3 using Team Epics directions at epiccm.org/2012/06/cwm-recovery-on-all-sgs3-lte-variants.htm
Make sure to apply root.zip. At some point the OTA updated OS so now overwrites custom recovery.
I have Samsungs default ROM on a rooted S3 with CWM recovery. Now onto CM10 (M snapshot). Heard it was very stable.

Just used the Samsung easy update tool to get LK5 on my USCC GSIII (OTA update failed) but want to get root again without tripping the flash counter. Thoughts?
Hi there,
I'm new to this, but my question is how to I return my phone to stock, I had someone root and add a rom to it and now I have lost my lte radio..but this person tells me all is fine and that I'm completely stock and just rooted, this may be true but the phone hardly works now..
info:
telus phone Note 2
sgh-i317m
but when I check my phone know it says its a samsung sgh-i317 now instead of sgh-i317m, this have made me believe that the phone maybe was rooted with n7100 firmware.
all I want is the phone to be completely stock as if I have just pulled it out of the box
I dont want it rooted or any sort of rom, I need all stock files because I have no backup of any sort also from what I can tell I may need samsung drivers and Odin I have no idea which I need or where to acquire the correct files...
please help
I am trying to go back to my original firmware, but the backup that the person who rooted my phone created disappeared. Where Can I find original firmward for a Samsung Galaxy S3 T Mobile? Any help appreciated.
Hey. I have an AT&T Galaxy S4 and I rooted it a while back. When I rooted it, it was on the MDL firmware. Eventually, I wanted to return to stock, so I used Odin to flash the MF3 firmware on it, little did I know, AT&T made it nearly impossible to root with this new firmware. Now, the phone is working running the stock firmware, but I get some weird bugs and also the Samsung Custom splash screen still shows up when I boot it up and not the Galaxy S4 splash screen. Is there any way to fix this? Would using that tedious new way to root the MF3 firmware help at all?
Hello, I recently bought a galaxy gear 2 neo for my lg g3 and was attempting to get it to work through various methods. After trial and error i decided to give up and sell the watch. I had had to make a few edits to my build.prop file and I had made a copy of my stock build.prop and saved it to quick notes. I was going to repaste the build.prop back to original today and when i reset the phone it went into a boot loop( i guess quick notes reformatted the build prop). I have the T-mobile variant and I am rooted, but i cannot access TWRP recovery mode, but I might not be doing it right:crying: I do not know where to post this issue.
Edit: I managed to get into boot recovery and I can go on from here, but I do not know how to delete threads
Hi,
You will likely need to flash stock again from scratch. Here's a guide on that. Any help with it needed, you can ask here too...

Good luck!
