hi, i rooted my phone without flashing a new frimware (just flashed recovery), and i had a lot of problems that a friend with a i9505 didn't, like a microsd not writing and not getting ota, can't flash new custom ROM
so i wanted to unroot, i figured that if i never flashed a new firmware than all i need to do is unroot, so using the su full unroot feature i unrooted and used kingo to varify the phones is not rooted, but i still have recoovery and in device status it shows custom binary.
so what can i do to restore official status?

do you think there's any chance it caused the microsd card to not work in the phone? because the same card works in any other device i tested in except my phone

I'm not sure, but I think if you have the stock ROM and kernel you would still be able to receive OTA updates. However installing them might unroot your phone.

Flash a stock firmware back to ur phone using Odin
Reset the device from settings / accounts / backup & Reset ur device should be official and u should be able to get OTA
for firmware link check my signature
Note: do not use triangle away for ur variant its not supported
Can I do this simply by using Triangle Away with i9505?

hi. i rooted my phone and managed to download the MEA to MG9 OTA update, so i might help. download the cofface recovery from http://link.and-share.ir/uploads/cofface-S4-recovery-en-V3-0-zip.zip and flash with odin. then boot into recovery (turn off the phone then hold volume up and home and power) then select unroot from recovery. then turn off your phone and flash the official status mod http://d-h.st/1lt. then reboot and install the OTA. after updating you can root again just like i did,
have you tried the "full unroot" option in chainfires superSU?
easier than flashing a new recovery...
I'm going to flash the new ROM over my 4.4.2 S4 LTE. After flashing this new ROM, what are the necessary steps I should do to get my phone rooted?
Which are the compatible flashing/rooting programs to use for this new ROM?

You're talking about official 5.0.1?

Yes. That's the ROM I'm talking about. I've just flashed Philipz recovery using Odin and everything looking fine. However, I still get the default recovery and not the PhilipZ version.
Is the 5.0.1 not ready for the present recover like Chainfire or Philipz?

I had problems flashing recovery on stock kitkat. Used a workaround with Nandroid manager from play. But you need root for that..
Maybe try a different recovery. I don't see why PhilZ would be the only one to work with the 5.0 rooting method presented somewhere around the forum.
A recovery has nothing to do with the version of the rom you have flashed.
Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing the rom with Odin.

Will give this a try.
Update - No go with what you have described. Stuck at the end of Odin flashing. Have to pull out the battery. Luckily, phone still can boot but with the default recovery.
So, a long time ago I towelrooted my gs5 on 4.4.2 and just left it like that (no custom rom , kernel, or bootloader). I recently upgraded to an N6 and would like to sell the old phone now. I'm trying to return to stock, but my craptop died and I'm not able to Odin a stock .tar file. I've already used 'full unroot' in SU, but I'm still showing 'Custom' status. I can't OTA and I can't find a stock rom to flash from the factory recovery, so are there any other options I'm missing?
Thanks in advance!
Just factory reset it from stock recovery

Thanks for the reply. I actually tried factory resetting through the settings menu and the stock recovery. Both leave me with a 'custom' status and unable to OTA.
I'd suggest using ODIN to flash a stock ROM from sammobile dot com, but with it being Verizon, it's likely got a locked bootloader, and I'm not sure if you can flash anything with ODIN when the bootloader is locked, worth a try though, it'll just fail with an AUTH! if it doesn't work
Instructions are under the download on their site

What you can do is flash a stock rom using odin then it will be stock and u will receive ota updates ✌

I doubt this will work mainly because rooting trips KNOX which is an e-fuse so that means that if tripped there's no going back to Official status . You can always install the latest firmwares with ODIN though.

I rooted my phone due to ES FILE Manager permission, i was unable to cut / paste any file from internal memory to external using es file manager. is there any other file manager who doesn't requires root access to cut/paste/delete data from internal/external memory?
[Sorted out] I did not root, however my s7 edge does not allow me to use s health claiming root after reinstalat stock via odin. Any solution for that?
Did you trip the Knox counter? If you did, there's no way back
The knox was changed, but I wonder how could that be that it was a stock rom?

Did you install TWRP or made any changes in the bootloader.
Once the boot loader has been modified in any way. \it will trip knox.
No. I just reinstalled stock via odin, there was no twrp installation.

why did you have reinstall stock /
if you have reinstall stock that means something was done to your phone, which caused your phone to think knox is tripped.
So what happened that you ned to reflash your phone ?
System crashes with crashes
Are you the original owner of this phone?
If you try to root it or install anything non-Samsung, it will trip knox and there is no turning back.
Flashing Samsung ROMs via Odin won't trip knox....
I'm his first owner. I saw in a post that it is possible to continue using s health if dowgrade to marshmallow and then upgrade via OTA to 7.0. Do you know if it's possible?

I think you just have to add or modify a line in system/build.prop and it will work. For that, you have to be rooted.
Take a look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-s-health-devices-knox-t3543306
Sorted out. I was able to reuse the app by going back to 6.0 via odin, configuring the app and upgrading via OTA to 7.0
