once firmware is flashed - how do you go back to stock?

so now that I flashed to another firmware, if I wanted to go back, is there a way to put the stock firmware as the UPDATE.ZIP file so I can go into recovery mode to use that file to "reset" the phone? or do I have to always flash the firmware?
After JH3 was installed, I went into Recovery mode and clicked on 'reset' and got an error that it cannot find update.zip

Look in the Development section for the Stock Odin3 1 click program..It is the only way to get it back to completely stock..
When the OTA Update is released how would it be applied once firmware is flashed?

[Q] Bootloop problem

I am just about to throw my phone at the wall.
So I was on stock 2.3.3 and decided I wanted to update to ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488096
I didn't have clockwork mod and wasn't rooted so I eventually got this working
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Then I tried to install the ICS rom but it wouldn't work. I then tried to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353657 which for some reason didnt have any cell phone coverage.
I tried going back to the just rooted version of 2.3.3 but haven't been able to get the phone to go past the samsung logo / Clockwork Recovery.
Edit: Whenever I try flash the 2.3.3 rooted rom it updates me to Clockwork Mod Recovery v3.0.0.5 with HEAPS of errors.
Any ideas?
You should go back to a stock rom via Odin...you will need a rom that has 3 files (csc , modem, phone) and the Odin 512 .pit file and check the repartition box.

I flashed the cf root the same as the software my phone had under settings. I flashed it using odin.
There was an error message, I can't recall it exactly, it couldn't execute or something. Yup I wiped data.
Flash back to stock using odin
Thanks for the help guys
Did you solve it?

Why would you need that actually, it's the biggest downgrade you can get.

Maybe hes going to give it to his warranty.. so he wants it as it was before
I want it because i dont want flash with odin (mess imei) if i want my warranty back.
ODIN does in no way mess up our IMEI
There is always change to mess imei with odin. My odin stucks every 9/10 times to flashing system img. So reverting back to stock with nandroid backup and cwm flashable stock recorvery image would be definetly faster and safer.
Odin has nothing to do with your IMEI.. (/efs folder)

+1.And if you want your waranty back you can flash a stock rom via Odin ....(i think)
hmm. I have heard peoples losing imei's after odin flash. I would be happy if someone could make cwm flashable stock recorvery because my odin stucks so often.
and btw.... for which stock ROM? I made one a while back. This was for XXKPU I think. But should work with every stock ROM I guess.

I guess he wants a cwm recovery zip to flash from stock recovery?...(english is getting harder and harder theese days)
Even if he puts stock recovery back, he still needs ODIN to flash a stock ROM for warranty

Nope. A CWM flashable file that restores the stock recovery. And that's exactly what I attached.

Flashing that zip does not effect anything.
Also tried with mounted system data
But now it does. Didn't add the line to extract the actual image to flash Had better days I guess
Now it works perfect. THanks
Hi,
can you give an example how to convert an stock image to an image flashable by clockworkmod. My problem is, that my USB port is brocken, therefore i canĀ“t use Odin. Mobile Odin seems not to support repartion - is this a problem - is repartion needed for stock images ?
So what can i do with an active clockworkmod to install an stock I9000XXJVR_SWC.zip ?
Thanks
Gkarg

You can but you need to factory reset because some of the files dont play well together . I did it and it caused fc's and a bootloop factory reset will fix that.
udo yousay factory reset from safestrap,after flashing all nc2 files on odin?
If you use the 4 files to flash you don't need to it will wipe for you if you use the one home file just factory reset in Stock recovery
okay, i'll try that with the one file

bricked my note 4?

i was on the Liquidsmooth rom, i wanted to go to FireKat.
i tried to go back to stock using Odin, using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/development/guide-odin-to-stock-unrooted-firmware-t2957156 and in the middle of Odin doing its thing it failed.
now im stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an Issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
so i downloaded Kies, and my phone isnt recognized.
what can i do so that i can at least get the phone working again?
Several options - first why did you not flash over recovery?
Second boot into recovery and reset.
Third if you can't get into recovery flash a custom recovery such as twrp and flash a new rom.
Hope this helps

the instructions on the first page of the FireKat rom say to "1. Odin Flash Stock ANK4" so flashing via recovery is not a option.
i no longer have a recovery, during the Odin flash back to stock it failed and deleted my recovery. only thing i could boot into is DL mode.
i ended up having the wrong verison of Kies, had to use a older version. the phone was recognized and i "unbricked" the phone.
Meaning install a custom recovery and a different rom and you should be fine

The first step is just to make sure u r on the most current bootloader.
Can you boot the phone into download mode? If so you can flash recovery and a new ROM.

You should be using keis 3 anything else will fail. If you have download mode Odin back to stock with factory firmware. Tekhd has a step by step on how to root. Download firmware from sammobile and ur back to business. Pick your ROM careful.
BAD ASS NOTE 4 & GEAR S
Happened to me once, seems dumb enough, but change USB cable when flashing stock with odin. If you have access to download mode, you have not perma-bricked your device. Might help. Might not
