Go to settings, about and tap the build number 5 times that will open developer op

Roll back to stock Firmware ? or roll back the stock firmware aka Downgrade?
If it's downgrade, you cannot.
To go back to stock make sure you have the correct USB drivers installed and KIES should work for you. Or alternatively grab your stock ROM from sammobile and flash it via ODIN.
Just seen you had installed the drivers, Check you have the right version of KIES installed, as there are two options from samsungs site. Or just try ODIN

If using Stock ROM and you haven't already rooted previously then No. If you have rooted then depending on your chosen root method, it may have been tripped.

[Q] Want to remove super user and set device status offical

Well friends....this is my 1st post sorry in advance if there is some mistake
I have a samsung galaxy s4 i9500 and I rooted it with kingoapp retaining warranty bit 0. After that I got a update (mk9) so with wanam xposed I used fake status and updated through ota.
After that root was removed but su app was not removed
I just want to remove the superuser app and the most important thing is there any way to make the device status as OFFICIAL if possible. That would help me a lot...thanks in advance
1. Only if the BINARY Status is still Custom, download and extract OFFICIAL STATUS MOD(.tar.md5): GT-I9500 - open in Odin as PDA (password: djembey2013)
*EDIT: Use it by your own responsibility -> Take a look this page for more info

Flash stock firmware... it will deffinately come out of safe mode. However you will lose your data
There is a tool by dr.ketan that will bring out of safe mode:

but sir this app requires root access. afaik there is note root for my version of note 4.
some members here on xda has also been looking into rooting our version of note 4 (SM-N910A) but to no avail we still cannot find one.

I seen your post that your gonna try that app, which is fine.
But to answer your question, No, you do not need root to flash a stock firmware. You use a program Odin.
Now this all depends on if the 910A model has odin tar files available. I'm unsure of this.
If that app don't work and you need help with this, just let me know.

OK so I've looked into my options. And I guess I wanted to do the Odin way. The problem is the volume down button on my note 4 is not working properly. It does not want to engage. As I've looked into the Odin tutorials here on xda, it seems it is needed after flashing. Coz it is needed to wipe data cache once it goes stuck in bootloop.
Now for the stock firmware. Seems like I'm out of luck coz there is no available stock firmware on Samsung update and sammobile for my sm-n910a. Gosh don't know what to do now. I'm lost. I appreciate your help and advice. If you have any other ideas. Please do tell me.

hmm... i cant seem to bypass the FRP for this phone. there is no addcontact/text/calendar on the end call screen.
the sidesync/pc/otg popup doesnt show up either when i connect it to the pc or otg.
i searched and tried everything from the killing wifi on software update to pc/otg.
nothing works for this phone. this is just plain weird.
maybe i missed something.

Printed model is : SM-N9005

In that case SM-N900S
I recommend flashing the latest stock ROM for the sm-n900s with Odin.
The printed model # sm-n9005 is on the label under the battery?

yes ..
these are the ones i found

Thanx
If the label under the battery says sm-n9005 and download mode says sm-n900s, it appears that you have a "frankenphone" whereby the phone is put together with different parts from different models of the Note 3.
Is this the ROM you tried to flash: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N900S/SKT/download/N900SKSU0GPI1/98062/ ?
Did you perform a factory reset after flashing the phone but before booting the phone for the first time?

If everything works on a stock ROM, you try flashing TWRP using Odin. This will allow you to backup the existing ROM and flash a custom ROM.
