If you flashed a stock rom, it should have came with it. You can do that or run a stock RUU.

So yesterday I wanted to go back to stock rom by flashing noobnl's stock DI18 rom without using odin. I wasn't sure i was supposed to but i also flashed the DI18 modem zip. When I tried to do so the installation was aborted and for some odd reason, i'm back to DG27 baseband... Can someone help me out? Do I have to flash back to stock via Odin or what? (btw, i'm rather new to Android... came from WM)
I just bought a T-Mobile variant of the SGS3. I then successfully rooted it with the Toolkit from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682
Then, when I used to toolkit to remove the boot animations. This is when trouble starts. Now the phone flashes the Samsung Logo when I try and turn it on, but nothing else happens. I can get into download mode still.
What should I do next? I tried re flashing through Odin the insecure boot, but that hasn't work. I'm in the proscess of downloading the stock firmware tarball (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737855 ) but its PAINSTAKINGLY slow. Do you expect flashing back to stock via Odin to unbrick me?
I'm used to flashing roms and whatnot but I'm not a dev... this caught me totally off guard since I thought I was using the S3 toolkit properly (and yes, it is the correct toolkit. I rooted successfully).
I made a nandroid right off the bat, but I can't boot into recovery and I don't think I can access the files any other way.
Thanks for any help. I'm in a panic right now

Btw, I have the original build.prop backed up
Try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204
Should get you back to stock rooted. Grab file, put on desktop, extract here, fire Odin up, click pda an find the .tar file and hit start. Should get you back to stock rooted.
EDIT: OPPS! I just noticed this is for tmobile.. anyhow just grab a stock rooted .img/.tar file and run it in Odin. should get you back to stock rooted.

Thanks for the reply, but I already got it working! I got it back in to recovery after I flashed the insecure boot image via Odin again (the one that came with the S3 toolkit) and restored my nandroid.
And (to all) sorry for the newb post, I was in total panic mode, heart pounding, adrenalin rushing, it was intense haha. Its hard to think straight like that.
To cut a long story short I was on a S6 port rom and decided to try N5 port. After sometime i did not think it can be my daily driver so decided to go back to my backup. Restored my backup but my screen was always unresponsive, tried many timed but did not work.
So i decided to flash Phronesis rom, but for some reason the phone shuts down everytime i tried to clean the data, or install the new rom. I will have to take out battery again to get back to recovery. Tried multiple times but failed.
Decided to download a stock rom and flash via odin, got BRI-N9005ZSUGOH3-20150904105400 from some thread in google as stock rom and downloaded odin v3.9 and flashed with Md5 in AP. Got the error Volume size is too big 614400<712704.
I remember when i moved from kitkat we had to do something with the pit size but since i was already on lollipop didnt think it was relevant.
Can someone pls advise, what I am doing wrong.
Just to try out i am also downloading the firmware from sammobile to see if there was something wrong in the previous file.
To provide an update, I flashed the stock firmware from sammobile using odin and it passes, however i was stuck at the boot screen for about 20mins after which I gave up. Now flashing stock again using odin and see how it goes this time.
Last update
when the phone did not start up after the next stock flash as well. I went ahead and flashed twrp recovery and was able to boot into recovery after couple of tries then flashed a custom rom again. alls good now.
When flashing back to stock, a full wipe using stock recovery is sometimes required before booting the stock ROM for the first time.
I have a rooted OC3 which I unrooted with supersu. On boot it still says "custom" with the lock image and OTA updating doesn't work. How can I get back to pure stock and update to OK2? If I could download the rom I could just flash it but from what I can tell it's only available OTA. I'd like to give this to my wife as a completely stock, updated, unrooted, factory reset phone.
Odin back to Stock 4.4.2 and then take the updates from there.

Thanks so much. Worked great!
I figured it out. I'm currently back to running VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9.
Not sure what I did. I successfully unlocked the bootloader. At that point it was running VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9. Then I went and flashed VZW_QA1_STOCK_ROOTED_DEODEXED.zip. It flashed fine. During boot up it just hung at the red verizon screen. So after 2 attmepts I tried going back to VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9. I flashed it, and then in odin I flashed G900V_Firmware_PB1.tar. It now wont go past the first samsung screen and It seems to have lost safestrap. When going into recovery it gives me the stock recovery. What file can I flash in Odin to get me back up and running? Thanks
