I flashed back to stock D80010o firmware.
if I have to send phone back, is there any way for them to tell I've been in it? I flashed back to stock prior to accepting the OTA this time.
Is there any flag that gets tripped making it not quite "stock"
If you used the LG Flash tool to flash stock, the root checker should be reset. If you used a custom recovery / still have one, they'll know.

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?

Hi i was recently playing around with my phone and i rooted it installed custom recovery using autorec app and installed custom roms and now i want to revert back to 100% stock. If i use the .kdz unroot method will it bring my device to 100% stock? will it remove the loki and upgrade the bootloader to as it was before on kit kat? Because when i used autorec there was a warning that it will downgrade my bootloader so will the unroot method bring everything back to stock as it was when i took it out of the box? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Going back to stock + hard reset does what you want:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
Hey.
If I install TWRP recovery and then a custom rom.
If I go back to stock with LG Flash tool, will it remove TWRP also?
Since that'd be great for warranty purposes.
And another tiny question, I'm currently rooted, if I do a factory reset with button combination, it won't cause any problems?
Since I read that if you update to lolipop OTA while rooted your phone gets bricked.
Bump.
Phone still rooted
Hey guys!
I did some tewaks on my phone (flashing roms, mods) and with CSE Flash i went back to stock but when i enter download mode, it shows "ROOTED" and LG One Click Root cant find the device. What did i wrong?

I flashed custom rom ( slim saber )..after that I went on and installed stock lollipop via lg flash tool.. I also selected CSE install and it booted without problems.. it doesnt say I`m rooted.. previously I also installed kit kat and it said I was rooted eventhough the phone was brand new.

Someone I helped earlier had the same issue. He reverted to stock using kdz method and his phones said rooted. He was still running stock ROM when he decided to use cse flash. After the flash was complete he booted up and to his amazement all of his files were still there and his root. So what I did was installed the tot and DLL file and restored using the tot method and surel after the flash he wasn't rooted and was on complete stock ROM. Try using the tot method and see if that works.

If flashing 5.0 wont help, i'll do thanks for your help!
Guys i have 910F...Running ANK4 KITKAT. I tried to root it with CF-Auto-Root-trlte-trltexx-smn910f. The rooting tutorial said i had to disable auto reboot and should perform a battery pullout after rooting....everything went fine untill i pulled out the battery and put it back in after root...the phone turns on and says "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" And just restarts...i am stuck in a bootloop whenver i try to root it.....i was able to get the phone back online after flashing stock 4.4.4 in ODIN, but what am i doing wrong here....why cant i root this phone?
This happened to me yesterday - you cannot root a stock rom v5.1.1 with CF Auto Root, if you try it will end up in a bootloop. There is a way around this if you search the Note 4 CF Auto Root thread - pages 121 and 124 if i remember rightly.
But i am not on 5.1 i am on stock 4.4.4....anyone else might wana help?

4.4.4 what the hell is that?
If you try gingerbread, you will never update a rom. The best android on earth. (just after the eclair, froyo was a major disappointment)

Are you trying to keep a stock ROM and root it?
I would upgrade to lolipop. I run AICP on my n910f and I love it, best ROM for our phone at the moment in my opinion. To go to a custom lolipop from kitkat you'll need to first flash a lolipop stock ROM, here Then you can flash your custom recovery via odin. Then you can flash any custom ROM via zip file from your recovery software as usual. Custom ROMs are usually rooted by default already so once you've flashed it you're already rooted. If you search the forum you can find a rooted stock ROM if that is your preference.

Did you try a factory data reset after using autoroot? Go into the stock recovery and do a factory data reset after auto root and it may boot after that. If you want to keep 4.4.4 stock ROM then just flash an already rooted stock ROM. They're in the ROM section for your device. That's what I would do if you're having issues with cf auto root.
