On every device I've owned so far I wait for a method to fully unroot the device is out just in case.
That being said, is there a method to fully unroot and reset the flash counter (similar to the note 2) to 0 or for it not to show that a custom rom/recovery has been flashed?

Yes there are a few ways. You could install the complete stock tar which will wipe everything out including data. You could uninstall root using supersu and Odin the stock recovery. You could install team sextapes full stock with no data wipe to go back to stock without losing data. That is a few but there is more.

Hmm so after those methods it wouldn't show up as if I ever flashed anything in download mode?
I ask because in case anything happens to my device and I need to exchange it

Correct. Odin is the easiest option. And since you would be exchanging it the full stock tar with data wipe is perfect. Just make a backup first.

Once you root .... you will never go back! :laugh:
Sup guys, currently running running OctOs. Looking to head back to stock. Can any one be kind enough to provide me the correct tar file (link) so I can make that happen. Think I downloaded the wrong on.

Long shift, but thank you very much.

So you know this will unroot you aswell. Might delete internal also so backup anything important just in case.

Is that 100% stock tar for Odin Samsung update is down.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
That will definitely delete all of your data I just odind back to stock yesterday and it's a good thing I backed up my internal storage or else I would have lost everything. How come you're going back to stock if you want a very stable rom I would recommend @sac23 sacs custom ROM v8 I am currently using it and I have not found any bugs I also have amazing battery life

Not all the time. The ones from Samsung updates sometimes wipe my internal and other times it doesnt.

I might have been using a modified tar to not wipe. I'm sorry its been a while since I used one so I'm not 100% sure.

No offense to any dev that may see this, but just can't find a rom the catches my eye. Only one MIUI, but there's no support for it anymore.

What does unrooting mean, does it make the phone go back to normal like it was when it was bought with the original lg ui and software? All the button shortcuts work? And what exactly does returning to stock mean? is that so you can get a stock rom based of the lg one? or is it back to original software? I looked through the threads about returning to stock but didn't understand what it meant exactly. Sorry i am new to all this. Im asking because my phone is having some problems with battery, i rebooted my phone, and for some reaosn when i sleep the phone dies with like 60 percent battery it didnt do this before. And yes i close the carrier iq and google location services. And i installed wakelock, but it doesnt say anything unusual. Its kind of hard to use this phone like this now, i loved it but now im kind of regretting trading my s4 for this phone. I hope nothing is wrong with my phone. Should i root in this situation? I don't really know what to do, if i should just sell my phone, i dont want to thought. Im asking what unrooting and returning to stock mean, so that if i do root it, and i dont like it, does it mean i can go back to the original stock lg rom it came with? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Why don't you try factory format

What is that?

Factory format is basically factory reset. This wipes all your data but does not unroot your device.

oh alright, i think i should just go ahead and root because i already reset it and it hasn't fixed the problem. I just wanted to know that if i do root that can i go back to normal stock by unrooting?
I don't feel like the minor update (which my phone didn't come with) is worth uninstalling TWRP and unrooting, so I'm just going to keep this for future reference. Right now I am on the stock ROM, but I'm rooted, have a few bloatware apps uninstalled, and have TWRP recovery installed.
If I wanted to go back 100% to unrooted, unmodified stock as easily as possible, what would I have to do?
