it's not difficult, but if you want an easier way just use one of the many toolkits.

SO - How do you return to completely stock?

I am thinking I might return my Tab before my 14 days is up. I have it Rooted, CWR installed and custom beta rom running on it. If I wanted to return it whats the best way to get it to stock like out of the box stock?
1. Flash stock ROM
2. Nvflash stock recovery
3. Factory reset
4. Profit?

Sounds like you may not need it, but I'm pretty sure this is a flashable stock ROM :

Just use the flash tool and then use the all in one kit that will flash twrp. Then boot into recovery and press reboot. It should prompt you to root.

Why not download the factory image from google and root it yourself? If root is all you want, that is.

I was considering that too but my phone is already rooted and I wanted to avoid running the OTA update and potentially fudging the phone up lmao.

No worries in doing that mate. Flashing the factory image does remove root, but u can easily just reflash the SuperSU file again and you'll get it back again. Simple as that

If you need to save your data, you can flash the original boot img, and you will be unrooted, but, you will have to undo any system mods, or the phone won't boot. Best thing to do is back up whatever you want saved, and flash stock rom with Emma, or Flashtool. Then, you can relock bootloader if you want, also...
