On every device I've owned so far I wait for a method to fully unroot the device is out just in case.
That being said, is there a method to fully unroot and reset the flash counter (similar to the note 2) to 0 or for it not to show that a custom rom/recovery has been flashed?

Yes there are a few ways. You could install the complete stock tar which will wipe everything out including data. You could uninstall root using supersu and Odin the stock recovery. You could install team sextapes full stock with no data wipe to go back to stock without losing data. That is a few but there is more.

Hmm so after those methods it wouldn't show up as if I ever flashed anything in download mode?
I ask because in case anything happens to my device and I need to exchange it

Correct. Odin is the easiest option. And since you would be exchanging it the full stock tar with data wipe is perfect. Just make a backup first.

Yes, you'd have to install a stock ROM and make sure it isn't rooted. Make the phone look like it was when you got it, basically.

Or just flash stock gb with pc odin and do a full wipe, you'll lose root and cwm.

No, doesn't affect counter. Only flashing custom Roms and kernels will raise counter.

Hello,
Apologies if I didnt find it after searching but:
I was looking to get stock recovery back onto the S4. I know I can Odin back to stock but being that my phone is already set up it would be nice to just flash stock back and be happy
Thanks!

I'd you're wanting to remain rooted, then you will need a custom recovery.

I used to be on stock recovery rooted and was able to update ota while keeping root with ota rootkeeper... And stock recovery

Every rot method I've seen requires installing a custom recovery. Either twrp or cwm.

It's possible to extract the stock recovery from the Odin image and flash it independently. Check it out in this post. Be warned that it's only for AT&T S4's and it's possible to brick your device pretty badly if you flash the recovery to the wrong place.

yes, you will have to use the odin, and then root again. unless you're running a custom rom, then you will have to full wipe your device.
I'm trying to restore my phone so I can sell it so I was wondering how do I remove custom recovery, root and revert back to stock ROM? By reverting back to stock will this allow me to do ota updates?

Hi mate,
Restoring back to stock should restore your OTA ability and remove recovery/root.......There is a back to stock link in my signiature......Follow the guide in there for restoring your phone:good:

No not exactly. You also need to reset the flash counter using triangle away app.

cant I jus t revert to stock via keis?
These are basic questions that you should have known before you started to flash your phone.
But no, Kies won't do anything for you in this case. Use Odin.

Yes...and this would have been discovered reading the entire procedure in the Back to Stock link (Note 4)......Just trying to get others to read a little more as xda is all about reading and learning
Basically looking to go back to default factory settings, don't have the stock recovery anymore or a custom one, do not see if there's a official firmware that I can run
Would anyone be able to direct me in the right direction
Thanks
So your recovery is gone? Same thing happened to me before. Unfreeze any apps (if you froze any) take your phone to Best Buy and say Kies broke your phone. They can re-flash your phone which will unroot it and you get your recovery back. Then install the update.

Why can't we this kies lol
We have the mf3 tar files you can use though to flash mf3
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Yes use the MF3 files in Odin and if you like root than re root and install Supersu pro to use survival mode and take the OTA Update and it will keep root for you . completely safe

Looks like you may have tripped the Knox counter. Have you rooted or flashed anything?
Yea I kingo'ed it. What is the fix to reset Knox?
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
You will have to search for a method to reset the Knox counter if there is one for that device. This will include unrooting and reliving the bootloader
Your said you did nothing. Lol
I think i factory reset will unroot?
Or just flash your regions firmware with Odin. And you should be back to stock. By the way OTA Updates are not always best way to update

Remove your external sd, reboot and retry. In some cases it's caused by sdcard. Worth a try.
Noobs... :sly:
Sent from my N9005
You need to flash a rom either using ODIN on the PC or a custom rom if you have a custom recovery.
There is no way to reset Knox at this point in time.
