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.

Help

Not really possible ATM. No tar file available. So you are in a way stuck with 4.3 rooted.

Not really unless cnexus makes a stock odexed rom then we can just flash that, flash stock kernel and stock recovery and unroot. Then do a factory wipe. But we dont have those files so if you modded your phone. You stuck until we can get a working tar or the files needed.

I think I saw in the general section that there is a tar file for Odin now. You may want to check there

Yes, the full MJA tar file is available on sammobile.com, download it and flash with odin.

A .tar or a custom tw ROM?

I don't know. Would a tar (Odin file) restore my phone completely to stock? No root?

Yes, if that's what you want, that's the way to go. I don't believe there is an MK2 .tar, but there is a MJA .tar that you can use. Then let the phone download the MK2 update on it's own. If you are on either MJA or MK2, you have the KNOX bootloader and can't go back to any build prior to MJA.

Ok. Thank you! I have a .tar file I didn't know it restored it though I just thought it got rid of the root

Make sure you are using the correct tar file. If you were already on 4.3 then you need to use either the MJA or MK2 tar to restore your phone. You can't restore older versions to your phone if you are already on MJA or MK2.

Didn't mean to thank this he's not looking to downgrade and root, he wants to flash back to stock. Just use the same firmware package as whatever you were on.

In the same process of downgrading you can stay on stock MK2 OR NB1.

OP said he's planning to send it in though so it's best not to do any downgrade.

The only way to go back to stock from a custom rom is to odin full nb1. From the link I post it before. You cant use firmare from sammobile. I did try without success.
