Is there a way to go completely back to stock and have the root checker to read that my device is unrooted?

What the heck, is this a temporary un-root? I am on my rooted stock kermal/rom Epic that I used one-click root(PC) to root my phone. I wanted to unroot using z4root and I was unrooted until I turned my phone off. When I did I was rooted again. BTW, it took about a millisecond to unroot.

Might not unroot unless you rooted with it.

OK. Thanks. I might try re-root but I don't want to brick.

It's not really possible to brick most android devices unless you mess with the radios.

You can use either cf auto root and root the same way as you did with mdl or you can use crawj's mf9 stock rooted tar and odin that to get rooted.

OK thanks alot for the speedy reply. Didn't know if the cfauto root would work with the mf9 build. I did searh, but couldn't find anything. I did see the options u mentioned though.
So I took the risk and rooted my AT&T S4 with kingo. The only issue is that I can't get a recovery installed. Is there any way to get CWM installed or should I use safestrap?

Are you on 100% stock MK2 unrooted? If you are on a custom ROM or have a custom recovery with root it will not install the zip as it checks to see if your phone has any modified files.

The phone isnt rooted and it has the stock recovery, as u said how can i check if there are some modified files?

Did you delete, froze any apps that came with the phone? Did you install hotspot or anything that modified the system?

If you really want to update to kit kat then just odin mk2 .tar and do a fresh install again and just try the download again.

You won't lose your data. A stock tar install does not erase data unless you do a factory reset.
Ok then i will have to wait for the update.zip from Sammobile firmware
