Default How to restore original firmware/rom?

Tried to find information about this without luck.
I'm runing Roto's rom on my tab but is about to sell it and need to restore the original firmware and rom.

Is this possible? (didn't take any backup when I flashed)

I think the best way is to go to the samfirmware.com website and download & flash an original (jj3 in my case) rom following their guide, using odin?

I didn't try so, I'm running Overcome 1.1.3 myself, so I might want to revert back to stock also one day.

Maybe someone could comfirm or advice any correct way to flash back to stock?
Especially coming from ext4 back to rfs...

Might be worth a sticky :mad:

You're right, wrong section. But I can't see any way to move it.

A little update, I've successfully flashed it with original firmware from samfirmware, but I can't find a version with the scandinavian languages.

I also flashed back to a stock rom yesterday (was running overcome)
XXJK5 as I couldn't flash JJ3, it appears to be impossible to flash a firmware with a hiddenfs.rfs partition?

Flashed xxjk5 with repartition on and it was ok after adding also the multi-csc, otherwhise it boots into recovery with an error about "unable to mount..." and "datadb not found...."

The only thing, there must be some problem with this multi-csc file,
the list of salescodes doesn't contain XEU (*#272*imei#), while this xxj5 rom I downloaded was XEU.
KIES tells me by the way "this version cannot be updated" and I find only 3 apps in samsung apps :(

Do you mean the input language for swype/samsung keyboard?

Because if you can't select your locale for the os, you could just install morelocale 2 from the market.

Yeah the missing languages is one part of the problem, the other part is that kies just says "this device isn't upgradable"
