Hey guys I'm planning to sell my S4 and I'm rooted on Android version 4.2.2 MF3 and I want to return to stock can I just update the software to return to stock and it will automatically unroot?
Just flash the mf3 tar file in Odin and you'll be good to go

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

This is my first time updating a rooted device. I switched to android this summer. I am currently rooted on stock 4.2 MDL. To update to 4.3 I can't use the OTA right? Do I need to flash a copy of it myself since I'm already rooted? Or do I unroot then update? Not sure how the whole process works.
Don't update and please use a custom 4.3 ROM!

I am trying to unroot my AT&T Galaxy S4 back to stock so I can apply the OTA updates. Currently I am rooted and running MF3 and cannot apply any of the OTA updates, fails at 25%
So if I want to unroot do I Odin the MF3 tar files or would it be better to Odin back to the MDL version? Then I should be able to apply the updates?
Why don't you just Odin the nb1 tar files and forget the ota?

I thought about doing that but was not sure if it was possible since since I was rooted. Was afraid of bricking the phone. So if I Odin NB1, how do I unroot the phone? Do I need to do anything before flashing that tar file?

Just flash in Odin. It'll put the new firmware on and remove root. You don't have to unroot first

Thanks that worked!! I have the NB1 on the phone now.
I saw a thread on how to unroot s4 on 4.4.4, but I can't find it anywhere. It's my wife's phone so I just want it to be returned to stock if possible so she can update to any new updates that come out soon. I used the odin towelroot method to root. I'm using safestrap as well. Any help would be great

Flash the nb1 tar file in Odin. Back up first off the internal sd card. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56453100

Thats the thread I was looking for: ) Thanks
I have an ATT galaxy s4 I337 that I need to get firmware for. How do I know what firmware I need for my phone? Before the problems started I was on 5.0.2. Where can I get the correct firmware to install on my phone?
Thanks,
Jerry
Samsung/ATT are not updating anything that is flashable in Odin. You'll need to flash the nb1 tar file then ota up from there. See this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53758227
