It's been about a year since I've rooted my phone and I've been wanting to go back to stock for a while now. Anyone have a link that provides the instructions on how to unroot my phone? Still kind of new to the whole rooting process. Thank you.
Update: Sorry, didn't realize how easy it was to find the stock rom. Using the Odin Tar, hoping that's the right one.

Good afternoon, everyone. I just had my phone rooted with the Hero ROM and it is very laggy and it cripples the whole experience. Is there anyway that I can unroot my phone to where I'll have the stock Android v1.6 and still get OTA updates (I'm on T-Mobile USA)? If this is possible, can someone direct me as to how to get this done w/o paying for someone to do it for me?
Thanks in advance,

If you have modified recovery (by Amon_RA or Cyanogen) - no need to get unrooted. You can simply flash other ROMs (except official - they sucks)
All the info you'll need is in the first post of this thread.

I was able to unroot my mytouch and receive the ota update for 1.6...but I turned around and rooted it again because I realized the stock kinda sucks. If you follow the instructions, this will get you back on the stock 1.5. If you don't receive the ota update to 1.6 right away, you can use google to find the stand alone update pretty easily. I think I ended up finding it on the tmobile forums.
Thanks, fellas! I appreciate it. It should be fun to see if I can do this by myself
Last question, what is a goldcard? is it essential to have one in order to get the stock ROM back?

a goldcard is a spare sd card that has been modded to allow the unlocking of phones, usually you do it with windows mobile phones, but you dont have to for the mytouch/magic, you can just One-Click root it if you are still on cupcake.
what i am trying to say is, you dont really need it to get back to stock rom (unroot) you just need to flash a few files from my understanding...i have never wanted to unroot so i wouldnt know but if you need a tutorial, i can give you the link for a perfect one.
I used theunlockr(dot)com to unroot. They have a video and text guide.
Hi, sorry if this has been asked before, but I searched and couldn't find any good step-by-step instructions...
I rooted my phone successfully using the Hack Kit. I'm actually getting a replacement phone sent to me (the one I had received had all these scratches on it), and would like to get everything completely back to stock and unrooted before I return this phone. Could someone please point me to the right place? Thanks!
look in bubbys one click faq. He tells you how there. First s on. Then run stock ruu. This is straight from the faq.
11.Q: How do I return my Inspire back to factory/stock? A: For warranty purposes, you may need to completely turn your phone back to the way it was when you bought it. This means S-On and non-rooted. To do this you have to two things: Download and run bubby323’stool from here: http:// www.mediafire.com/? 2ttk3b883p7ujbw Download and run the stock RUhere: http://www.filefactory.com/file/ b50b7a1/n/ RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_RadiMake sure you run the S-On tool first, as the tool requires root permissions. Once complete, you should have a phone that is completely stock, just like when you pulled it out of the box for the first time. You WILL lose all of your data that is not backed up.

Awesome, thanks!
Search isn't working, and this isn't really in the bible, so I thought I'd ask; How can I return the phone to 100% stock if i need to return my phone to T-Mobile?
ًWhat are you on currently?

then find the noob's guide to ODIN, and flash back one of the stock ODIN ROMs.
Gasp!! I love the sgs4g
ive been wondering this myself thanks for the link
Hey guys...i succesfully flashed, rooted my phone, ended up with a few roms but ultimately wanted to go back to stock Rogers rom.
I found the GTG ultimate unbrick ad thought that might get me where i needed to be, but ufnrotunately not as it is ATT rom.
I then found Odin_Stock_Rogers_UXKG3_Kernel, which is almost what i need but it is a rooted & CWM version of the ROM, also, some of the apps dont work and there is no data.
Does anyone have a link to the absolute stock Rogers rom? I really need to go back to stock, I assume the only way to go back to stock would be to have the rom, which I dont, and to use Odin.
Please and thank you.
Kind of a strange inquiry, but my old GS3 has been out of service for a while and sitting around as a spare. However, I'm thinking about selling it because it's in excellent shape, no scratches anywhere and I could get a few bucks for it. So, I want to revert it back to the stock ROM.
The phone was last used with CleanRom LE 5.6, running 4.1.1 BLK3. I want to return it to stock BLK3 and if I feel like updating it from there, so be it. The bootloader is unlocked, phone is rooted and I have CWM 6.0.1.2 installed.
Forgive me because it's been over a year since modding this phone, so I don't want to brick it. Can someone outline the steps needed to bring it back to stock BLK3, and where I can find the stock ODIN file? Seems Hotfile was shut down and that's where the GS3 toolkit referred me to. Thanks!

Well if I were you I'd go to stock 4.1.2 mf1. Better to go the most recent you can go without locking the bootloader.
Also, once you install it, it's going to prompt you to update to 4.3. So if you want to sell it I would turn it off and not let it update. Or you can unlock the bootloader and preroot it, then freeze the apps sdm1.0.apk and fwupdater.apk to prevent an update. You can put that in your description to add some value to it.
Here's the mf1 file:
