Flash stock firmware in Odin

Posted this in the Kies ICS update thread as well .. can anyone help?
Ok, so I'm at the Firmware upgrade and initialization screen in Kies ... it's been stuck at 2% for about 20 minutes now. I'm assuming this is a problem. Anyone have advice on what I should do? Let it go ... disconnect, restore with CWM and try again?
My config when I started:
GB 2.3.6 - rooted, cwm touch installed
(Running on Windows 7 through VMWare on a MacBook Pro if that matters)
You need to be on stock recovery for it to work.

Damn.
So ... do I pull the plug, restore to the CWM backup I ran before running the update and then flash the stock recovery on it?
Odin back to 2.3 stock and it flashes stock recovery.

Thanks man, I'll give it a rip and post an update in a bit.
ODIN hates me.
I wasn't able to flash anything with odin, it just kept failing or hanging.
Fortunately, I was able to use CWM to recover so I got back up and running on my rooted 2.3.6 setup.
I tried Kies update again, same result. Ran through the download, then hit 2% on the install and hung. Odd thing is, Odin lets me flash CWM and I was able to recover with that again. But, Odin continues to fail on ROM flashes. This just doesn't make sense.

Sorry, I mean firmware via Odin. I should be more careful with my words
PLEASE HELP!! I have successfully rooted the device and was doing ok after flashing CWmod recovery 6.0.1 through E-Z recovery app and running Liquid Rom. I managed to be dumb enough to flash CWMod version 5.8.4.9 through Rom manager and when I rebooted my phone it got stuck in boot loop. I am able to get into CWMod 5.8.4.9 but I cannot restore my backup anymore. I can also data wipe and install a new rom, but it all just keeps going into bootloop and I cannot get past the samsung custom unlock screen. It first flashed that, then the android man pops up on the next screen like its loading something and then just keeps looping through the process. I did not use ODIN for any of this process and I dont know how to get myself back tothe point where I can reboot. Any help would be tremendously appreciated, because I'm dead stuck and in a panic. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Happend to me last night...
I made the same mistake... DO NOT download any recoveries from ROM manager. I found out the hard way... So the problem now is your phone is stuck using the recovery you downloaded. I am not sure of a quick way using that recovery if you can revert back but... My solution got me where I needed to be in order to get going again.
I had to use Odin to root to stock ROM. Yes when you wipe it will destroy your data but not your pictures, downloaded files, and other files you put on there. When I re-rooted with stock all my stuff for CM10, gapps, and the kexec CWM was there.
So use this guide...

Section 1!!!!! And follow the steps EXACTLY the way it says to.
This is why i have never liked rom manager...
The best solution for us to flash recoveries is ez recovery free from the market. I would use this going forward once you Odin back to stock

I am currently on stock ICS with unlocked bootloader and rooted. I have flashed CWM 6 onto my Galaxy S3 (535) multiple times followed many tutorials and videos but every time my device boots back into Android System Recovery 3e - I have even disabled Auto-Reboot while in ODIN and have pulled battery after PASS! (as suggested in other tutorials) but it will only boot into CWM Recovery on the 1st reboot. The next time the device restarts it goes back into Android Recovery. I am able to boot into CWM if using Rom Manager and select reboot in recovery. In searching while trying to get a resolution, this seems to fairly common problem. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to get my device to CWM Recovery vs. Android System Recovery. It is driving me nuts and I have spent hours trying to figure it out - any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure you mounted the system as read/write in whatever file explorer you're using

Reporting in good news - I was able to successfully get the device to boot into CWM Recovery every time. I tried every method 6 ways to Sunday and I'm not a 100% sure which one actually allowed it. I ended up OTA'ing the new VZW update and used OTA Root Keeper to keep root. I appreciate the help! Happy Holidays!!!

So after 2 days of trying via Odin, I give up. Anybody here got a copy of Stock Recovery 3e? One that can be flashable via Odin?? I tried installing hyperdrive, and it installed via aroma but when I rebooted I got a Verizon Unauthorized rom warning. I really, really thought I had an unlocked bootloader after ez unlock. I don't have stock recovery nor cwm touch anymore (the one I replaced 3e with).
Since Odin just wouldn't work (tried all versions) and just fails after a few minutes, I figured maybe I could get away with flashing a recovery 3e, then wiping and reflashing a flashable stock rom from there. Any help will be appreciated.
Your best option is to figure out how to get Odin to flash stock. That will fix your recovery. Do you have the proper drivers installed? Does Windows detect it in device manager? Does Odin see it?

Hi guys. I have a Verizon S3 that is out of warranty that I've decided to mess around with since I've already upgraded to a G2. I tried to flash ClockworkMod Recovery using heimdall, but couldn't get it to work. Since I couldn't get heimdall to work, I rooted and installed ROM Manager, then installed ClockworkMod Recovery from there. When I rebooted to get into recovery it says "Verizon has encountered unauthorized software" and wouldn't let me in. I booted normally, then tried to go into recovery from ROM Manager. I get the same message, but now I'm stuck in a recovery loop. I've tried flashing back through heimdall and Odin, but neither one is working for me.
I can get into download just fine, but everything I try to flash with Odin gets me a big FAIL message. Any suggestions? The phone was upgraded to 4.3 before I got a hold of it, which is probably my main issue.
Try flashing ORIGINAL STOCK. You have a locked bootloader and will not be able to install a custom recovery or any custom rom. But, once you're up and running you can root it.

Do you have a link to the original stock files for 4.3? I've looked, but can't find any.
Try this. It worked for me.
