Can we get a sticky on this or even this stickied?
I've just had to do this and info was all over the shop.
I'll even do a write up on how to do it when I get back from work.............
I feel the mods aren't that active in note 3 forums.. The forums are a mess and we barely have any useful sticky threads. I made a return to stock guide a while ago, it's linked in my sig. But it always gets hidden due to the useless threads that are made daily in the general section.

Awesome
I'm on JB but I flashed philz 6.13.0 and all seems fine
I also tried to root with cf auto root but that didn't work
But if you Google it, there are many tutorials on how to do it. Just saying.

Yes,but that is what I mean
This is a note 3 specific forum on xda and like Khizar pointed out it's well hidden,it should be stickied.

I wanted to unroot and go to complete stock is there a zip or tar file or any method that will allow me to do so? Or if not whats the most stable 4.2.2 ROM out for the nexus 7? Not the 3g version ..

Is there something wrong with the sticky thread up there right at the top of this forum?
[GUIDE] Flashing a Factory Image with fastboot / return to stock
It may have been written in September, so there are new (4.2.2/JDQ39) factory images out now, but the method is essentiallly identical.
As a matter of fact, inside the factory .tgz file, there are scripts which show you exactly what the process is (flash-all.sh, flash-all.bat).
If you have previously flashed the 4.18 bootloader (and have an unlocked bootloader) you can skip those steps.
Go to the Google developers website and flash a factory image for whatever number your Nexus 7 is.
Alternatively I recommend Carbon ROM which is AOSP
Not being smart but this question has been asked on here countless times, use the search function, it will give you all the information you need

Careful with smart remarks like that. Yiure basically saying yiur tok lazy and want to be spoon fed instead of searching and learning like the rest of us. Perhaps if you took 2 seconds to open your root toolkit youd see theres an unroot button. For future reference taje the time to search hard and if you dont find it the its ok to post a thread but be warned thay the mods will shut you down and people will flame you hard. Taking the time to search and learning is much more gratifying thwn the lazy way. And youd be amazed at all the helpful things youll find and learn
Btw the solution for un rooting I gave to you was just served on a dirty silver spoon for you!

AW: Complete stock?
To be completely stock you could relock the bootloader after flashing the stock rom

We really need more active mods around here to delete retarded threads like this.
You have eyes. I assume you have a functioning brain. Use them.
@az18zz
Im shocked at the fact youre still asking these noob questions considering how long you've been on xda and the amount of posts you've made
I agree though this thread is pointless

Your mods are active, but we cannot read EVERY thread, and need the community to help us. When something like this pops up, just use the report feature, and just move on...Posting in a thread like this only bumps it to the top, keeping it more alive. Just report and move on..

Hey guys, I've been looking into rooting my s4, i9505 version running MDM firmware. the cf-auto root doesn't work with MDM (according to that thread) and all the other root solutions seem to be for i9500.
So, is anyone running i9505 MDM firmware rooted? can you pls link me to a working solution to root my s4?
Thanks.
Search pleas

First I link you to xda rules ok.
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xda+rules
I have searched. and I explained what I've found. I also asked a specific question about rooting my phone, the specific phone I have (MDM i9505). I haven't found any solutions so far. I have been checking the forums on a daily basis more than once in recent days. you two above this post could not be less helpful. You tell me to search, when I have. If there is a root for my phone, why didn't you point me in the right direction? or is it easier to make fun of people when you don't have an answer? thanks for nothing.
Im on MDM and rooted.

@muhamet, I have a question, those are rooted roms, not just rooted kernel. I have seen those. Will that mean I will loose all my apps etc? thanks both.
edit: one more question. do I have to root to install custom roms in the future? The only reason I am looking to root is to be able to install roms when I decide which one I want to run. Or do roms come with rooted kernels and all I have to do is flash them via recovery? thanks.

Actually - the guy has a very legit question so before you flame him !
I have been in these forums for years and i can honestly say this S4 thread is one of the most mixed up in here !
These rooting questions NEED TO BE MUCH CLEARER, Especially for lots of new people coming in.
Dedicated Thread only for Root I9505 And which root method works - you look around and its in original dev and Android Dev.
Same for I9500 !
Then there is stock / hybrid / custom roms, Pre rooted so no wonder these questions get asked !
Root should only be in one Forum thread for each device and not mixed !
Now im fortunate enough to know what im doing ! but there is going to be so many repeat questions asked in here that its asking for trouble and bricked devices.
It really does need cleaning up.
thx

@m.nassy.uk thanks mate, that worked, I am now indeed rooted and have recovery, ready for the roms! And I do apologize for asking what might sound like a very basic question to some of you. I hope this thread will help others, some less experienced android users. The s4 is only my 2nd ever android phone (s2 was the first) and I'm not as knowledgeable as some of you on here. Thanks again.

Completely agree as a s2 root newbie I've started to learn the ropes a bit more running custom roms on the s3 for the past year or so. The issue of two different phone models in the same area is bound to cause confusion. I have to check twice, I've loaded up the i9500 development section before not paying attention thinking it was i9505 lol.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
thing is, I used ODIN to root my s2 and put recovery on it some 2 years ago, after that it was a case of downloading .zip files (roms) and flashing them via recovery so I have forgotten quite a few things about rooting etc since 2011. but hey, I'm ready now... waiting for a nice rom to come.
I jumped in and got a contract straight away on the s4 from the s3. I don't mind. I got a good deal. But in hindsight I'm going to wait a good few months for any others devices. I'll see this out on its 24 month contract by then god knows what will be out there. Hopefully some custom kernels with voltage control will be released too. Finding crackling through headphones atm.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Ok, so after rooting, recovery doesn't load anymore. Phone just boots normally. Any ideas?
Just a thought to the mods the google edition roms seem to be taking over from the Samsung roms in the s4 section at the moment. Would it maybe be a good idea to open a sub thread for google edition roms,kernels and mods? Might save some confusion for noobs. Just a thought anyway
I'm a noob there's so many roms out there I'm not sure what to do which ones to go for

No auto update yet. But in theory it should be possible!
Me Gusta!
i dont think the mods have seen this yet. dont want anyone to end up with an expensive paperweight coz if you dirty flash over a touchwizz rom bad bad stuff happens and its getting full in the forum now of google 4.2.2 and 4.3 roms
As long as you're flashing a I9505 rom on a I9505 device you won't brick your phone, regardless of whether it's CM, GE or TW. Not too sure what you mean by dirty flash, I'm presuming not carrying out a full wipe, this might cause issues but won't brick a phone. The forums are already fragmented enough and noobs really should be reading before they flash anything.

by dirty flash i mean the lazy way and not wiping and yes this can cause soft bricks which make people panic and i fully agree that people should read but i think we can all agree that the forums are full of people that dont read. at the moment in my opinion for a noob it might be a bit confronting and confusing to see all these options. it was just an idea for the mods anyway to try and help

I just updated to kitkat and had to flash a 4.3 stock rom first because every time I tried to update it would boot back up in 4.3, now I have updated to 4.4.2. Now how do I root it? Last time I used cf-autoroot but that was 4.3 is it any different?

Well first you can do some searching. Then reading. And you'll find in the CF-Autoroot forum your answer(s) too.

Or you could be nice and help someone out by at least posting some links..
I would be and I have been, but it seems that you could have had your answer within a couple minutes of just searching.
XDA is NOT a support site, though we do provide support to those that are willing to first try and help themselves.
It seems that in the past couple months the Q&A and other sections are filling up with redundant questions that are answered already in stickies, how-to's and the forums themselves. Often time the very same question (like yours) has been asked and answered a dozen or more times already.
Answer is yes to your question, just grab the lates from the threads site.

Yes I understand, but if you actually see my question it was more asking if cf autoroot would still work with kitkat.... not where do I receive it.. I have searched these before and I have the files on my computer, so to the other guy I have tried searching myself first. But I didn't know if cf autoroot updated to kitkat or if it even has too. I'm a guy that came from IOS (I hated that) and we had to wait for jailbreaks.. when I searched how to root galaxy s4 4.4.2 tutorials, factory unlocked versions of the s4 showed up. Which obviously I do not have.. and if I added sprint none would show up...
Well I'm glad you hated iOS. Lol
Here's my post from earlier that answers your question.

Ok I just got the Note 3 today. I been searching the web for info on rooting and installing a custom rum. I love cm roms. I owned the gs3 and had cm10 and loved the pure google experience. So now im hearing about my phone has a bootloader lock and i cant install custom roms? Some please explain in one post everything that going on with this phone. I searched around and getting mixed into here and there. I dont care about tripping knox. I just want ride of touch wize and want my CM11. Please clarify for me please. thanks
Impossible at this time. Yes, we have locked bootloaders.
There is an everything you need to know guide right in the same section you posted in... It will explain in detail and provide links of what you can do. As of right now, we can only do custom TW ROMs. We may never have anything else.
And just a reminder, questions go in the QA section.
