I used the MF3 Odin files to Flash back to stock MF3 and re rooted to use Supersu survival mode and I took the OTA Update .safest way to root MK2. It can in fact be done

[Q] How to go back to stock Rom

I wanted to know how do i go back to the sprint stock rom after i flashed a 4.4.2 Rom?

Are you saying that you updated to NAE, rooted, and now trying to unroot? If so I don't know of any way to do it since there is no tar for NAE yet.

Im not sure what NAE is but the rom I have is Octo-Kat from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2493128 any info is greatly appreicated.

NAE is the new 4.4.2 TOUCHWIZ update that just came out for the phone. That's what I thought you meant. To go back to stock, if you mean stock unroofed. It would depend on what version of touchwiz you were on before. If you were on 4.2 then Odin a 4.2 tar. If you were on 4.3 with Knox then Odin MK2 kernel.

[Q] how to remove root files after nb1 update

I was rooted on 4.3 and then I unrooted abd did it a update to nb1. Now when I try to use ISIS it says phone has been rooted. I know there is a work around but you have to be rooted for it. Is there a way I can remove whatever file ISIS is seeing that is making it think three phone is rooted when it's not.

Are you sure you're on NB1?If you're not, you will have to get pure stock 4.3 and flash via Odin

Yea I am on NB1, I was thinking of going back to MK2 doing a full unroot with removal of the backed up superuser. Then upgrading back to NB1. I will try it tonight to see if that will work.

You won't be able to downgrade to MK2

unrooting 4.3

hi guys this morning i woke up and i had the 4.4 update ready to install, but i did not knew that it would not install as i am rooted,
cant find an unroot method for the 4.3, the only thing i found was Qbking77 method but it has the 4.2 tar files, would it unroot my phone with that file or would it brick my phone??
btw, i have been on this forum more than 2 hours trying to find a solution

Frequent signal drops on NAE

I am running Negalite ROM and just recently updated my firmware to NAE using Odin, and now my signal is terrible, the data keeps cutting out. Is it possible to flash back to MJA using Odin, or can you not rollback? Or is there some update or change I can make to the APN or something to fix it? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Only modem is reversible via Odin. Anything else is NOT possible.

Thanks, does that mean I can flash the MJA or MK2 modem from post 2 in this thread and it should rollback fine? Thanks again.

The NAE modem package is not complete. If you skipped over MK2, you need to go back and flash it, then flash NAE on top of it. Otherwise, your reception will misbehave.
