[Q] Stock flashing - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi all, first post here.
I'm new to rooting and flashing and got my GS3 rooted and unlocked. Before I start flashing ROMs and trying out kernels with them I want to know if there is the stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (un touched OTA) ROM and the appropriate kernel. The only stock ROMs I'm finding are ones that are altered or outdated.
Recap: 100% untouched 4.1.1 ROM and kernel, also Touchwiz launcher if it has changed going to Jelly Bean.

No one knows?

Section 5 of Droidstyle quite awesome guide:
You would flash this using Odin to return to stock, unrooted VRBLK3 4.1.1. It will format your internal sdcard and re-lock your bootloader. This includes the modem, kernel, and original Verizon bloatware. Whatever customizations you intend to install will be completely removed.
Or are you asking for a rooted version of the VRBLK3 rom? In which case, flash the rooted VRBLK3 version using CWM or TWRP recovery.

That's what I was looking for. I just want to have the stock setup on hand in case I need to put it back.
Is there a file location that has the kernel and rom separated rather than one file?
Thank you.

The only way I was able to do it was to Flash to PRIME
All the roms for the TF are stock o.o There is no Honeycomb source, so there aren't any custom built roms.
In other words, the custom roms are actually stock roms, with tweaks. I think if you just used the one-click root method, there's an included option to flash back to stock only.. or am I just not remembering things correctly?
Have you rooted yet? If not then just rooting gets you to a stock rooted rom. If you are rooted and on an older version of stock or another rom you could install the .6 rom and then install the .9 update. That is what I did.
I am 99% stock, just changed the SystemUI for the stock Icons.

[Q] Need some advice whether to upgrade P3100 to JB or flashing custom JB rom?

Hi All,
Would need some of your advices and idea whether I need to upgrade my current P3100 running stock ICS 4.0.4 (THL version) to OTA leaked JB with Indian version or the custom JB rom one? I not sure if there are any pro & con between stock ICS and stock OTA JB or custom JB one?
Appreciate for your advice and noted that very few active threads for this device not like other very active like SII, SIII...etc.
Anybody pls?

Its really up to you! If you're unhappy with stock and want a load of customization go with aokp
If you want customization go with cm10/9
If you like the stock but you really want to flash something go flash deodexed/debloated stock by romswell
Flash The ota leak is if you're really curious to see what samsung has done!
Edit: I almost forgot flash paranoid android if you want to customize the size color and the behavior of each app selectively!

Flashing a custom rom

Do you have to be on the same update version that you are flashing? In other words if I'm on VRBLK3 can I flash a custom rom based on VRBMB1 or vise versa?
You can flash anything. I mean I'm running 4.2.2 AOSP which is nothing like what came on the phone.

Yes you Can flash any Verizon Galaxy S3 custom ROMs based on jellybean.
K3 vs MB1 is the modem.
theyre unrelated to the ROM.

[Q] Returning from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2

Hello,
I have searched the Razr HD threads with no avail. I have been running CM 10.1, 4.2.2 and would like to return to a 4.1.2 ROM(Nexesque deodexed/zipaligned 9.16.6 (4.1.2) base). 4.2.2 is still a bit buggy for my taste, specifically the camera issues. As I understand, I need to return to the stock kernel prior to flashing a 4.1... ROM via a boot.img file?
Does anyone have the link to the stock Kernel to flash? Also, can I flash this in CWM Recovery? If not, a link to instructions would be great.
This is relatively new to me as ROMs generally have the Kernels built in and flash automatically when installing in Recovery. At least thats how it was with my old HTC INC.
Thanks for your help and assistance.

I restored to my stock back up, re-wiped, and re-flashed. All is well.

Hi. I just read a few guides since I don't know how this phone works that well, but as far as I am concerned, you would have to first install a rom or kernel with CWM 5 or higher, not 6. So there are ROMS on gingerbreaed that have this... But just to be safe, i would install cm7.... Look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Installing_a_ROM
Your best bet is to use a 1click like eollie's 1 click with a modded kernel that has cwm built in, first link in the 2nd post here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
Once you flash that, you will have cwm, which you can then use to flash any variation of ICS. You might need to be on ICS then go to JB, depends on the ROM but most will let you go straight from the cwm that the above link to the new ROM.
If you don't need GPS, don't mind small bugs, etc, then there are several JB's out there.
If you want GPS, good battery life, stability, etc, then try ultragen and the kernel linked in my sig.
Just flash Fluidification's CM10.1 Aries. I flashed it from 2.3.6 stock with CWM 5.0 2 8 and it automatically updated me to 6.0.2.8 at the beginning of the flashing process. Hope i helped!
