[Q] Help reverting to stock after gaining S-OFF and ROOT for warranty purposes!!!

Hey guys! I followed the rooting guide from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC...l_Update_Guide to get CM7 and all went well however I'm looking to gain S-ON and have my device unrooted once again for servicing. However the CM forums have no helpful information on doing so or a guide to revert. So if possible can someone explain to me the method used in the CM guide to gain S-OFF and root? I don't want to follow a unroot or S-ON tutorial if its a different method and risk a brick!
Thanks!
P.S If its an easy fix through adb post the commands if possible thx again :fingers-crossed:

This is the guide that CM guide is based on.
There's "procedure to revert" in the guide.

[Q] Rooting a Stock NC1 based S4

Hello,
I'm trying to help a friend who has an S4. She just wants it rooted and debloated...not sure if there is an Odin tar for that specifically, but if there is I'd appreciate a link.
This phone was a warranty replacement and came with the 4.4.2 NC1 base.
I've looked over some instructions here and I just wanted to be sure I do this correctly.
Specifically under the "NC1 ROOTED WITH SAFESTRAP" instructions it says I should Odin back to NB1, then apply a zip to get it to Stock NC1...Since this phone is already at Stock NC1 are the first 2 steps even necessary? Unless I'm missing something why could I not just go direct to Step 3 "ROOT AND INSTALL RECOVERY"?
Thanks in advance. As I said this isn't my phone and while I have decent experience from flashing my i897 (Cappy) and i717 (Note 1) I haven't played with Safestrap at all.
Regards.
EDIT: Is this what I'm looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52167774#post52167774 ?? Is NC1 the latest OTA release or should I be looking for a root NI1 method?
EDIT 2: Or is the easiest path here where I have her take the OTA to NI1 and proceed from there? I'm assuming NI1 is the latest firmware, so she would want that all thing being equal? Thanks again

Just root with towelroot. Go to towelroot.com and download the latest apk.

How do I root if I'm on B0A8? The link to root Lollipop doesn't mention that version

Hi. I recently manually (Odin) updated to 5.0.0 or version G900VVRU1B0A8. I s it possible to root while on that version? I see this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
But it's talking about bootloader versions different than mine.
Any help is appreciated.

The link is talking about a method where bootloader downgrade is no longer an option.
In your case, you would need to odin back to NCG, root it (using Towel root), install FlashFire. Then following instruction on below:

Considering 6.0 rom

Can anyone help me with steps for upgrading my unlocked bootloader gs5 from pb1 to this rom?
I've been running jrkruse's 5.1.1 note 5 port. I like it, but am interested in trying a 6.0 rom.
I've done a lot of reading, but still lack a little confidence in deciphering the correct steps for updating bootloader etc..
Thanks for any help.
Can anyone confirm that I can update my firmware from the note 5 port to a rooted 6.0 rom?
Can I follow the upgrade/downgrade firmware instructions that I've seen in other threads?

Upgrade to Nougat before or after root

I couldn't find a solid answer to this question anywhere. I have a stock axon 7 A2017UV1.0.0B29 build and wanted to root the phone, but also wanted to upgrade to Nougat b15. Would I have better luck rooting first on b29 and then upgrading or should I attempt to root after the upgrade is complete? I'm not really looking to install any custom Rom at the moment and would just like to have a rooted device. Many of the tutorials bundle root in with a custom ROM which is part of the reason why I'm having so much trouble searching for a solution.

Just find a guide and follow it until you have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. That's all you need to have root.
After that you just flash Magisk or supersu
