to return to stock, odin, never heard any1 doing it any other way

edit: there is a post stating u can use kies , initially u dont plug in the usb, enter the serial# and model# into kies and kies would restore the phone, seems to work for att, i tried it but it doesnt seem to work for canucks

 

[Decepticaons]

for good measure i would also flash the stock baseband in cwm before using odin. I didn't the first couple times and even tho the about phone stated 2.3.5 my wallpapers from before the flash were still sticking even tho i wiped everything, and the baseband was also still showing uclf5 after i used odin. This may be just my phone, but i know what im doing and i did it right lol. Just a heads up in case this happens to you too!

never happened to me but cant hurt flashing radio since cwm doesnt wipe radio

edit: i have updated the op w/links to the stock radios, aka modems

No..That's not safe to say the least (I mean the official Rogers tar on sammobile.com on your att i727) .... You might end up with a brick

 

[encheritto]

Ok flash went good now....

Flashed back to stock. Phone says I'm at android 2.3.5 I727UCKJ2. How do I update back to 2.3.6. My phone and kies say I'm up to date.

Thanks for any help.

ty at least i know how to go back to stock the right way with the sammobile tar files, even stock ics, is the usb cable that important, im getting a used skyrocket and i dont think the seller has the original cable

yes just follow my instructions, but b4 u proceed, do what my sig says

 

[tommygun198]

i tried the kies method, but because im on rogers(i think) it doesnt work, these instructions in the op help me return to stock rogers ics, this method seems to be foolproof and easier since i have the file on my computer and can return to stock anytime i please

Ok so im guessing kies won't read my device since i tried rooting my phone once before,which i was successful in. I tripped the flash counter though. But anyway let me see if i get this right. I get the stock tar file from Sam mobile and cwm touch. How do i put cwm on my phone? I just need step my step direction because im so fricken scared when doing this kinda stuff. When i rooted my phone once all i did to get back to stock was restore my backup. So does that mean im completely stock now or am i missing? Please help. Heres what im Running.

if you are running stock just use odin, odin instructions are on koanes post in the op.
start odin
get phone into download mode
pick the file from within odin
hit start in odin

i will add detailed instructions in op when im get some time

edit: done, i also requested this to be a sticky since k0anes is outdated(imho), and he doesnt seem to be around the i727 forum anymore

restoring back up doesn't restore old radio...kies will still consider yours device unusual and refuse the update..

+1
custom recovery and radio will remain if restoring from backup, cwm does not wipe radio or itself
