I used motochopper to root my S4. I got the 16GB version obviously 26 days ago.
I got ATT to let me exchange it for a 32GB model.
What do I need to do to return this back to stock so I can ship it back to ATT?
THANKS
Well you need to read...that would be a start

There are barely any threads in the Dev section so far. I could have simply stated that you didn't read carefully and moved on, but I at least directed you on where to get the information you seek. My post wasn't all bad . Follow the guide posted above me and you will be all set

I saw that but I thought there may have been something else we needed to do because the bootloader wasnt unlocked yet. I didnt know if this would reset the flash counter back....

Not sure on the counter or even if it was tripped by rooting to be honest. In recovery you should be able to see the counter. At least I was able to on my Skyrocket. If my memory serves me right, the counter only increases when flashing things via odin, but someone more knowledgable than me could give better insight. That's how it was on the gs2 Skyrocket anyway. You are returning to ATT with a fully functional device and not Samsung for a repair of some kind, so it should be irrelevant for them. I doubt anyone working there even knows what the counter is never mind how to check it *good*

I did read Adams thread and I already thought of using ODIN but I thought that the flash counter also needed something done to revert that back.

The official firmware you will be flashing won't increase it or shouldn't anyway. Just remembered mine on the rocket only increased once because the stock image I flashed back to had been modified in some particular way. The stock images on sammi mobile and those extracted from kies for your use should not trip it

Not ignorant at all. If you would have read the "root" and the "return to stock" posts you would have found the answers and maybe learned a little more along the way. Getting pissed off at others because you didn't take the time needed to find the answer is just sad. And claiming you read a post (when you obviously didn't or you would have found the answer) is sadder. I'm not trying to bust your balls here, but you are wrong for not searching for the answer in the first place and then wrong again for acting pissy when someone took the time to tell you what you needed to do to find the answer. Good luck if you don't learn anything from this and decide to keep doing things to your phone, because you are going to need it.

I also am desperate for someone much better at this than I to find a method. I hate the OTA! If we can't root, has anyone figured out how to remove the odin write protection so we can revert to the leak?
I'm stuck at this point waiting for a root method too. Does anyone know if Kingo will eventually add kitkat ? Have they been slowly upgrading the tool so far?

every one of those were saying no root method yet. So thanks for the help..
Chances are it will be a long while before we get any sort of root. I willingly took NC4 and have no regrets. Maybe one day we will get an unlock.

Perhaps, but maybe it will bring more awareness to it. I also installed the update without doing research to see if it could be rooted after, and now am sorely disappointed I cannot load cyanogenmod on it.
I've been searching all over and it still doesn't look like there's a solution for it. Hopefully somebody more experienced comes along, reads this, and figures out a solution for the rest of us mere mortals
Refer to the sticky that says do not OTA update.

with a BOUNTY of $18,500 for root it will certainly be no secret when/if its accomplished.

Refer to my utter lack of time travel capabilities, else I'd have flashed NC2 in the first place and not be in this pickle. (EDIT--should read "reading" capabilities, not "travel"!)

Precisely.
As you can see on my last post, I said that towelroot works for ALL the variants of the Note 8. Well guess what, IT DOESNT! I was dreaming until I realized it wasn't REAL!!! Im sorry guys........ BUT THERE IS ONE WORKING AND I HAVE'NT TESTED IT OUT MYSELF
Though you can follow the instructions on IB Times UK
REMEMBER TO USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Saferoot is the best and works on all variants but will not work on Kitkat... though there is two versions, one with KNOX disable and the other without. I assume peeps have tested the one with KNOX disable feature with KitKat before telling me it was a no go. Not going to 4.4.x on my tablets, so I am unable to verify with my equipment unless I am selling to upgrade.

Opening this in the T-Mobile section implied that there was root now. I am subscribed to both areas and tho I knew other models already had root for days, ours hadn't yet.
@Chainfire should release soon. many have shipping confirmation already,
Aaaaand, its released for n910t. Although one user has reported some issues with it.

NOTE 4
I know it's irrational, but I have a problem with tripping knox, so I'll wait a bit. Sucks though -- I miss root.
Wonder if root DeLavega can be done on note 4 I know knox is a newer version and probably has the fix incorporated for that, just thinking out loud

I apologize if this has come up before but i can't seem to find a definitive thread on rooting NI2 at xda-developers. I search in this forum for "NI2 root" and all the topics were not specifically related to rooting from stock NI2.
I've browsed and searched a bit and was going to root my NE9 this evening, however today i accidentally pressed the wrong button (upgrade now, instead of upgrade later) and upgraded to NI2. I found this method for rooting NI2 here
http://techbeasts.com/2014/09/25/ho...-on-android-4-4-4-kit-kat-official-firmware/#
Is this method valid? I have never rooted this device before and have all my apps and layout the way i like it. Can i root the NI2 without flashing/resetting the device?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much, i guess i'm confused as to why the search function would not find that thread when i specifically searched for two of the terms in the title of the thread? I typed "root" and "NI2" . Just so i'm clear that is an I "eye" not an l "ell" right?

Why no in fact i haven't, but before yesterday i hadn't heard of N"eye"2 either, or towleroot, or safestrap. I'm what you might call a noob with this particular piece of hardware. So did you have any idea why my search string did not turn up the thread mentioned (or anything else constructive) or were you just trying to get your post count up?
