I've heard that works in theory, but not often in practice. I would suggest checking out Vincom's stickies atop the Skyrocket Dev forum. This one has a link to a CWM flashable stock ICS rom.

That is your safest route to stock ICS and it will save to so much hassle not having to deal with KIES. But if your determined, the second sticky has all the instructions you need to return to stock and update to ICS through KIES.

1. If u go back to stock yes u will lose root and cwm.
2. Ur cwm backup will still be on ur sd card.
3. Why update to official ics? It has alot of bloat that slows ur phone down.
4. After goin back to stock u can reroot and flash cwm recovery via odin then flash cm9 again then restore ur backup.

depends what you restore back to.
2.3.3 is the latest
Can't you just copy that 2.3.3 stock ROM zip file to SNS root and run through recovery?
Why would you go to 2.3.3 by choice? I'm dreading the day that it says i have an update.

Sorry newbie here, just want to be really really sure as I followed a poor guide somewhere and got stuck up with the google logo and lock on boot, hence was forced to install cyanogen.

Okay..so to close my question. I just followed this and everything went back to stock.
theunlockr.com/2011/01/20/how-to-unroot-the-nexus-s
1. followed the link above.
2. I remain rooted but recovery went back to stock. no more clockwork.
3. after booting, was alerted of a 2.3.4 update..so I updated again.
4. marketplace has been upgraded to the new interface (probably bec of the update)
5. to install screenshot app and fontchanger..I needed to have super user, so I just installed Clockwork (recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-) again and installed SU (su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip) via SD card install.
6. so far, everything's good.
If you have some questions, feel free to ask.
Download a stock rom ( unless you made a nandroid backup)
Turn off you phone then start it while holding vol+
Do a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache( found under advanved)
Flash your stock rom

thanks! I have made a nandroid backup but I think I may have a corrupted boot.img.
Where can I get a stock rom? Is the one from the link I posted good enough?

Is there a way to return to stock while keeping CWM ?
You can stay on stock rom while you are rooted. You can google it. I got my 2.3.4 from ardoid.com
Its a stock rom with added arabic support. Since you dont need arabic. It wont make any difference to you.

I'm not asking for keeping root, only to revert back to stock while keeping CWM
Clockworkmod will stay on your phone. As far as i know, all your phone recoveries will be done through cwm

I read somewhere that flashing a stock ROM will restore the stock boot/recovery. Is it true ?
That i cant answer u. But i can say that i went back and forth between roms. Reverting to stock when needed. CWM stayed on my phone.

Ok, will have try. Thanks
dude if install stock rom via odin then u will loss cwm bt iheard u cn gt .zip files of stock roms using tht u wont loss cwn
Thats what im trying to say. The only way (i think) to lose cwm is using odin. But you can find zip stock roms. Thats what i did

Thanks for the clarification !
when i got the phone i upgraded to 2.3 and now my phone is messing up and i dont feel like sending ym phone to tmobile so is the anyway to re-do this update, or downgrade back to froyo (2.2) ??
You want stock froyo? You'd need to install clockworkmod recovery and restore the stock 2.2 nandroid backup from the development section. If you want, after that you can either keep clockworkmod recovery or flash back to stock recovery.
If you installed CWM recovery you can apply a backed up image of the OTA update then use NVFlash to restore the stock recovery. T-Mobile is shipping the phones as GB now and it is now considered stock. Don't worry about going back to Froyo.
Yea but the only reason y I want to go back to 2.2 is because I can't root on 2.3 for some reason

hi guys, im new here
just have a few questions
i have a bell samsung s3 model SGH-I747M , i have android version (stock) 4.0.4 , i have rooted my device
however, i want to update to jelly bean 4.1.2 , i was wondering, do i update using the stock software or will that cause my phone to trip since it is rooted? or do i use a jellybean update made for rooted devices? should i even update? or use the ROMs for the current version ?
also, what is the best ROM for s3? is there one where u can control CPU usage on board ?
thank you
anybody :/ ?
Well if you like stock unroot your phone and put stock recovery back on to get the ota update. You need stock recovery to get it. So if you haven't installed clockworkmod or twrp recoveries and are still on stock you're fine, just unroot. You can always reroot. If you'd like to try custom ROMs go to search your phone up top and you'll find ROMs made for your phone.

Ok. qbking77 on YouTube probably has a video out showing ya how to do it depending on your model of phone. Just search his videos "how to flash stock recovery" and "stock jelly bean" with your carrier varient. they are the easiest to follow. Make sure its your carrier or youll brick your phone. Once you flash a stock ROM that specifies "not rooted" you won't have to unroot.

thank you so practically i can install stock firmware with a rooted device as long as i have stock recovery ? makes sense

When you install stock ROMs your phone will no longer be rooted. Some roms were created with root pre installed. So if you use them you will have root. If you want to update your phone with an "over the air" update, you will need stock recovery And a stock ROM . But if it were me I would just keep custom recovery and find a rooted stock ROM to download. Sorry I didn't reply sooner

Will following a unrooting guide that uses odin to flash back to a stock rom also uninstall CWM, and get me back to a stock recovery?

Yes
If you take the update after you Odin back to stock then you'll be on the 4.3 update and completely locked down. Just keep that in mind.
