[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Warning, this process will completely wipe your internal storage, so back up anything you want from it.

You're welcome. There's a thread in development for Odin, which is a Windows program made to flash a stock unmodified from manufacturer ROM. That will be in tar format meaning the file ends in .tar. There's another thread in development, too, for the stock ND8 tar. It comes in a zip file so after you download it (it's huge) you'll have to extract it.

Odin v3.07 is the one I recommend.

Run Odin on your Windows PC. First, you can click Recovery to load the stock tar. Then click PIT to load the PIT file. I'm going by memory so it's something very close to this.

Shut your phone off. While it's off, hold down the Volume Down and Home buttons, and while doing that, push and hold the power button until you see anything on the screen. I think the first thing that shows is very small dark blue text in the very upper left corner.

Let go of all three buttons immediately when you see that text, or when your see anything else.

On the phone, it'll say to push a button to enter Download mode, maybe Volume Up. Again, from memory but all this is 99% accurate. Push the button it says to go into Download mode.

Plug the phone into your Windows PC. If this is the first time you've plugged it into your PC, it might take a minute or two to load drivers. Eventually you should see on the Odin program in one of the blank rectangular boxes that go across it towards the top, something like:

COM: 5

The particular number isn't important, it can be different, that's okay.

At that point you know Odin sees the phone just fine. Click the Start button in Odin. MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE HAS A GOOD CHARGE ON IT (mainly, just isn't anywhere near death, so 25% bare minimum but 50% or higher is better).

Uncheck the box that's by default checked to reboot the phone automatically.

The Odin process will take 5-10 minutes to complete. Do not touch or move the phone or cable once you start this process.

To root the phone, there's another thread maintained by [MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION] for Philz Touch Recovery in development. Download the very latest Philz Touch Recovery tar.md5 file. It'll be dated on the website from last month.

If you follow a link for it and it shows you a bunch of phone's sections D2LTE is what you want. The latest will normally be at the bottom of the list.

Make sure you get the tar.md5. There'll also be a zip and a zip.md5 or just md5. You don't need any other than the tar.md5 for this particular purpose.

Close Odin on the PC, disconnect the phone from the cable and pop out the battery.

Put the battery back in and put the phone in Download mode again (Volume Down, Home and Power). Press Volume Up or whatever it says to continue again.

Run Odin again and click on recovery and load the Philz Touch Recovery tar.md5 file. Uncheck the option to reboot automatically.

Plug the phone in, wait until Odin shows the COM: 5 or something similar, the click Start in Odin.

This won't take long.

When its done, unplug the phone, take the battery out and put it back in. This time go to Recovery mode. Same instructions as to go to Download mode, but instead of Volume Down its Volume Up, Home and Power.

Once Philz Touch Recovery is loaded, go to its options/settings and choose the option to re-root. When it's done, use Philz main menu to wipe Cache. Then in Advanced wipe Dalvik. Then you can use the main Philz menu to reboot the phone.

Enjoy!
