Hi,

I have a Sprint CDMA galaxy s3 device (of course) that had samsung stock rom 4.3 with Knox.

i rooted the device and disable knox with SuperUser, and then installed CM11.

now i want to go back to stock rom (downloaded from Sammobile).

do i need to worry from brick because of the knox? because it is disabled now, or is it ok to flash the stock rom via odin?

thanks in advance :)

thanks, but it says DO NOT FLASH THIS IF YOU HAVE UPDATED TO MK3 (4.3)!!!! IT WILL CAUSE A HARD BRICK!!!

i had 4.3 before CM11, so i guess this is not relevant for me

what if you do a wipe and install cm10 then you can do it from there.

Still wont work. i did that and fully bricked my device. you cannot install cm10.3 or lower on the new baseband (MK3). CM10.3 and lower require MD4. Flashing the MD4 Baseband will Hard Brick your Device

I installed cm 10.2.1 coming from cm11 yesterday, it booted up the first time and worked great but after reboot it was stuck on Samsung screen, now i'm back to cm11, but i'm thinking of trying to go back to stock using odin. I get bored a lot I guess lol, and I can't have fear of bricking my devices if I'm flashing roms, have to learn somehow!:cool:

You can flash the stock tar through Odin or even use dsxdias android kitchen to customize it so you don't have to flash the whole tar file and lose custom recovery or root.
