100% STOCK UNROOTED CWM RECOVERY BACKUP
Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 Build MD7

This is a zipped archive of a backup made with ClockworkMod Recovery.
The backup was made before the phone even booted up so this is a complete right out of the box backup of the stock rom which also means it does not contain the MobileID that Virgin Mobile likes to download at first boot. So you have a chance at cancelling that ;)
This is unrooted.
This does not include the modem. If you need the stock modem it can be found here: http://androidforums.com/virgin-mob...849-updated-op-vm-sgs3-stock-radio-fixed.html

INSTRUCTIONS:
Extract the contents of this zip onto your SDcard and restore with ClockworkMod Recovery. This is not a flashable zip

100% STOCK UNROOTED ROM FLASHABLE ZIP
Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 BUILD MD7

This is a flashable zip of the Virgin Mobile Galaxy S3 stock ROM. This was made by punkmaxx using the above backup. The backup used to make this zip was made before the phone even booted up so this is a complete right out of the box backup of the stock rom which also means it does not contain the MobileID that Virgin Mobile likes to download at first boot. So you have a chance at cancelling that ;)
This is unrooted.
This does not include the modem. If you need the stock modem it can be found here: http://androidforums.com/virgin-mob...849-updated-op-vm-sgs3-stock-radio-fixed.html

INSTRUCTIONS:

Download the ZIP and save it to your SD card (internal or external) and install the ZIP with your custom recovery (CWM or TWRP). Enjoy a fresh bone stock rom!

Thanks to punkmaxx for creating this ZIP and for hosting the file!
Show some love :D
 
That would be pretty awesome.. and useful. :D

From what I understand, a CWM backup does not include the modem correct?
I'd be happy to get one working by tonight... Shouldn't be too hard... I'll Post a link here sometime tonight, that you can update your OP with...

correct CWM backup only includes /system /data /cache BOOT.img and sometimes RECOVERY.img

Will there be a link for the firmware?

I'm not sure if I understand what you are asking. The links are in the first post for the flashable stock rom. There is also a link for the modem if you need that.

What are you looking for specifically? A TAR file?
