Using a simplified pointwise iteration scheme, we establish nonlinear phase-asymptotic orbital stability of large-amplitude Lax, undercompressive, overcompressive, and mixed under--overcompressive type shock profiles of strictly parabolic systems of conservation laws with respect to initial perturbations $|u_0(x)|\le E_0 (1+|x|)^{-3/2}$ in $C^{0+\alpha}$, $E_0$ sufficiently small, under the necessary conditions of spectral and hyperbolic stability together with transversality of the connecting profile. This completes the program initiated by Zumbrun and Howard in \cite{ZH}, extending to the general undercompressive case results obtained for Lax and overcompressive shock profiles in \cite{SzX}, \cite{L}, \cite{ZH}, \cite{Z.2}, \cite{Ra}, \cite{MZ.1}--\cite{MZ.5}, and for special undercompressive profiles in \cite{LZ.1}--\cite{LZ.2}, \cite{HZ}. In particular, together with spectral results of \cite{Z.6}, our results yield nonlinear stability of large-amplitude undercompressive phase-transitional profiles near equilibrium of Slemrod's model \cite{Sl.5} for van der Waal gas dynamics or elasticity with viscosity--capillarity.
