rooted mk2 on saferoot and need help

Hey guys hopefully you can help. I recently rooted my s4 (att) and didn't like some of the features and tried unrooting it. (I have MK2). It took me a while before I realized from what I read I couldn't go back to earlier versions and update to 100% bone stock like out of the box. Problem I'm having is I think I got rid of root but I'm trying to fix the device status from custom back to official and I have no clue what to do I'm a little ocd and don't like the custom logo on bootup. I'd appreciate any help and have been stressed out and frustrated all day if its possible I'll do whatever it takes to fix it
thanks in advance

I've been trying to do this for quite some time, it doesn't look like there is any was to do it on MK2. Once you have the custom splash screen your stuck with it, short or rooting and installing WanamXposed, which does not good if your looking to unroot and return to full stock. The reason for this is Samsung has not released/leaked the Odin files for MK2, as far as I understand.

What features of root don't you like? You get to change anything about the phone and even get to delete system apps?

Sprint Hotspot Mod for 4.3 MJA build
I have a Sprint S4 4.3 MJA build and was trying to download the odexed files. The link no longer works. where can I get the files?
Thanks.

How can you tell if the rom is MDC MDL MF9 or MJA?
How can you tell if the rom is MDC MDL MF9 or MJA?

Updates?
My firmware is [OD2] on stock ROM. I assume I'm odex, but can I use any MDL or MF9 odex files or do I need one specifically for OD2? If this is a matter of tweaking source code, I'd be willing to take a stab at it if someone pointed me in the right direction.

Go to settings>more>about device>build number. The last 3 characters of the build number is your firmware. At least that's what I understand from other threads.

Use the one for OD2, the version you are on. The edit is to services.jar, the modem/baseband has no effect on this. It will not boot if you use an older one.

Curious anyone else downgrading?

Just out of curiosity if anyone else is downgrading back to 4.4.4. I honestly miss having Xposed Frameworks, I know its a matter of time but not being able to use some of the features is super annoying. I know at the moment there is no workaround for the Touchwiz framework issues and Xposed on 5.0, but if you are sticking with android L how are you dealing with not having Xposed? My biggest issue is with not being able to change DPI on an app basis and not the whole UI. Please feel free to comment on why you like Kitkat or Lollipop, thanks

Never upgraded to begin with, never will until Xposed for Lollipop on touchwiz comes out. Xposed is just too useful.

I too am a dirty girl when it comes to my love of Xposed. I stayed off of LP until today. I installed CM12 5.0.02 and on NK2 today and wasn't stopping until I got everything right. Now I have Xposed and most of my mods,which is great because touch wiz runs with horrible lag,takes up a lot of Ram and what have you. I can live without every touch wiz feature but Xposed is a must!

Lollipop and no problems here.

I was on lollipop for almost a month. The benefits of 5.0 did not make up for the hit on battery life. Back to KitKat & xposed (w/greenify & amplify). I will probably try tx_dbs_tx's rom when it is completed, but I'm thinking some 5.1 is what we really need.

How did you guys downgrade? By only flashing the modem, etc and staying on 4.4.4 bootloader? I tried ODIN 4.4.4 .tar but i messed up n took the update stock unrooted

I also was on LP since its release, to me it did feel smoother battery life was about the same but i just went back to nk2 yesterday and plan to also stay untill xposed is working on LP.

S6 Edge cleanest 5.1.1 Stock rom g925f? De-bloated?

Hello, hopefully I'm posting in the right place.
Basically I'm looking for a rom which is as close to stock as possible just without any bloatware at all, I basically want stock but without any pre-installed apps (ok with samsung stock apps s planner clock messaging ect)
My phone is currently on 6.0.1 sixperience rooted but that still has some koreans thing in there that annoy me so I'd rather go back to 5.1.1.
Would be great if someone could point me to one like this and hopefully a tutorial too as I'm very new. Thanks for your help.

That one looks good thanks, It says stock but debloated and a few nice tweaks, I'm currently on 6.0.1 sixperience with custom recovery, is it just a case of putting the rom onto my phone storage going into the recovery and doing a full wipe then flashing the rom? I would I be better off going back to 5.1.1 stock?
Thank again for your help in advance, I'm very new and only really got to 6.0.1 with a step by step guide.

Yeah I'm currently on 6.0.1 Sixperience which is a korean port, I only really got there as I followed a tutorial on youtube that was step by step didn't really know what I was doing. The sixperience Rom is fast and debloated but it still has some korean elements which annoy me so I wanted to go to a 5.1.1 rom that was debloated and fast, I'm not sure what I have to do to get it now as I've flashed a bootloader and stuff, I was thinking I could just go back to stock 5.1.1 and go from there, hopefully flashing to stock will get rid of any bootloader I installed. Any idea on how to get from 6.0.1 to the xerolite one?

Hi guys, I just thought I would make a reference guide of sorts for all of the 925W8 (Canadian) users because there seems to be a bit of confusion about some things, listed below are working roms, kernels, recovery and the proper xposed frameworks.
First and foremost this is in no way any of my OWN work, everything listed here is respectably reference only and any and all credit belong to the respective thread owners!
Second I wanted to share a little side note about our device, it is in similarity to the T-Mobile variant, from what I have gathered so far is that any custom roms from the T-mobile sections and s6/s6 edge universal sections are all compatible with our device provided we also flash a modified kernel afterwards. (suggested kernel with T/W8 call fix listed below.)
Third if anyone wants to add anything feel free to PM me, there are other W8 threads but I thought I would open one based off of my own personal experiences and current up to date methods.

Honestly with xtrestolite I have been using stock because I've had a busy work week so I haven't been able to test. I never usually use custom kernels unless required (mainly callfix) but plan on checking them out for OC/UV!
I know I said I was updating this yesterday and didn't get around to it so I shall update a few things here and there today throughout the weekend (sorry guys, for whom has been following), I plan on including apps and mods that are universal for all our (listed) ROMs. [MAINLY 6.0+] (I'll also be dabbling in a few other forums to dig up some more useful information.)
I have used custom kernels with the OZOP rom and CRISSCROSS rom with no troubles, ran very smooth! (sorry for somewhat dodging your question until the end heh)

Use that link for your firmware and yes twrp works but you will want to use ODIN on a PC first and then use the PC to flash twrp with odin.

Oooh. Are you trying to flash custom roms?
Let me see if I can find our builds just BL and modem. Then you can just flash that with twrp. Also once you do update to MM you will need latest twrp.

CM13 on 925W8?
I'm a newb. Way back when I had an S3, I installed CyanogenMod and it was great. I haven't dabbled since. I'd like to install CM13 on my SM-925W8. Can someone tell me whether or not this is possible? I'd be very grateful. Thank you.
