So I have discovered a hardware issue with my device. It's been rooted and flashed with a custom rom. Before I take it to ATT for warranty I want to restore it to full stock. Are there any good guides out there for this?

Don't forget to factory reset to avoid a possible bootloop
Before doing any of that, check the Triangle Away app to reset your flash counter. Not sure if you tripped it? It will tell you that too. If i were doing it, i would:
Back everything up and sync everything with google
Pull everything i wanted to keep off the internal card
Check/run triangle away
Odin to stock LG1
Perform factory reset, from settings menu (this will wipe and reformat your internal card)
Let ota update you to LH9
You are now 100% stock, no tripped flash counter, and ready for warranty return.

Are you on Ics ? If so use triangle away and then mobile Odin to flash tar ....back to stock

I was, but I'm bricked like so many others now. I went to do a factory reset of my CM9 install, and wiping the /data and /cache partitions has made the thing unusable now.
OK, long story short, I rooted last night, put on a custom ROM, decided to go back to stock, so I restored from my backup in rom manager, it went back to my stock rom and then I deleted the ROM in my SD, and then went into SuperSU, and hit settings. From there, I hit "Full unroot" and It removed SuperSU, and then I deleted the super.zip from my SD. Am I completely on stock and root free? Or is there some hidden files in the background tampering with my system? I'm a noob at this. First time rooting!
AND if I wipe date/factory reset, and go back into ROM manager, will I be able to restore from my backup?
Your doing this the hard way. Just dl and flash the stock ROM, found in the Android Development stickies. One Odin flash, and your stock. But don't forget to run triangle away before flashing stock (if returning for warranty).

But what about unrooting after that?

The Odin package has the stock unrooted rom so you will be good to go.

When I flash the stock rom, Will all my data be saved? like my app layouts and data? Or would I have to install them one by one or use titanium backup?

The Odin version will wipe the internal SD so the phone would be the same as when it was new. Unfortunately it you use TiBu you will need to root to restore the backups.

Thats my concern. You see, I was on a rom, and I made a nandroid backup in rom manager. While on the rom, I wanted to go to stock, so I went to rom manager, restored my nandroid backup, and I was back on my stock rom with everything in place. I deleted my other rom, went into SuperSU, and clicked the "FULL UNROOT" button. It deleted SuperSU, and the root directories. Am I good to go?
I even ran root checker, and It says I am NOT rooted. I'm just wondering if you think there are extra files in the background? I dont know.. I wipe the cache and everything, even the partition cache, and deleted any excess rootfiles from my SD.
You're making this harder than it needs to be (as mrhaley already said above). Just Odin the stock (non root-injected) samsung ROM and you'll be unrooted. Then do a factory reset from settings and format the extSD card too if you want to wipe everything else (for resale).

No - you need root for TitianiumBackup. The only appdata that can be restored once you've gone back to unrooted stock is stuff that GoogleBackup can restore from the cloud, if the app supports it.
But why unroot if you're not going to sell it or return it? No point.
Hey guys I was running a nightly of CM 10.1 and enabled full disk encryption with a pin. I decided to rebuild my phone so I flashed a new ROM through CWM however when it booted it was asking for the encryption password. The pin that I used previously won't work. I've tried re-flashing, factory reset (CWM), and ODINing the phone back to stock. None of which removes the encryption. Wtf do I do?
Only way I know of -- factory reset after booting up

I can't factory reset from the ROM now because it won't accept my PIN.

From everything I've read and seen, once a device is encrypted the only way out is to ODIN back to the stock ROM.

Just boot into recovery like twrp and wipe data, the button in the bottom left of the screen in the wipe menu

Nope. I did it when on stock. A simple factory reset set it right.

Yes however as he stated already he factory reset in CWM and it did nothing. On top of that since he flashed a new ROM the device no longer accepts his PIN once booted so factory reset from within the settings menu is a no go. Thus ODINing back to stock is the only way.

This is really weird guys.. I ODIN'd the SECOND time to 4.0.4 and it fixed it. When I odin'd stock 4.1.1 it was still encrypted.....
Old thread but I restored stock recovery and that cleared encryption. Could not clear encryption with clockwork, philz, or TWRP.
I have a galaxy s3 t999 rooted with team win recovery v2.6.0.0
No matter what rom i use, wether it be debloated stock or custom rom, after a couple hours my phone goes into a boot loop and the only thing that brings it back is a restore to when i rooted and installed the recovery.
Baseband- t999UVDMD5
Ive tried
universeS4 v3
Stockoroma
z999 UVDMD5 (Modified) Stock TouchWiz
[STOCK] T999UVDMD5 | 4.1.2 | Deodexed
all of them after 2-3 hours bootloop.
Can anyone help me with this? ive looked everywhere to see if anyone is having the same issue as me but no luck....
Have you factory reset after flashing and tried letting it run clean without installing any apps?
If all else fails, Odin flash back to stock and try again. Odin flash the root66 firmware to have the phone rooted.

I factory reset before i flash. Am i suppose to factory reset after flash as well? sorry if thats a noob question. ive been flashin roms for a few years now and never had this problem.
If you're going to factory reset, I generally suggest doing so after the flash. Its not unheard of for someone to factory reset, then reboot normally, then go and flash the rom. By rebooting they rebuild the data which was wiped to begin with. Then when they flash the rom wonder why it won't boot till factory resetting again.
If you don't reboot, it shouldn't really matter if you do so before or after flashing.
I also usually do so before, but suggest the other way for that reason.

I figured as much. I just reflashed the firmware only, factory reset, wiped cache and del, flashed universeS4, factory reset again, let phone boot fully, restarted phone and am gonna see where the phones at in the am when i wake up. If it still does it ill return to stock/odin with root66 and see if that will fix. if not im stuck on stock which sucks.
if anyone else has any suggestions let me know.
Thanks doc
UPDATE*
so i flashed back to stock with odin. then flashed root66. wiped cache and del, factory reset, wiped cache and del again, flashed universeS4 factory reset.
Its been 7 hours so far and no bootloop. Putting my simcard in it now and hoping for the best. Thank you again.
Cool man! :fingers-crossed:

*2nd UPDATE*
Wake up this morning to the phone boot looping. This sucks. Does anyone have any idea what i can do to fix this?
Noooooooooo!!!!!
That definitely sucks man. My best advice is to odin flash official stock firmware (root66 ok) and try the same thing. If it continues then I would check if its still under warranty as its probably hardware related. Aside from that I'm not really sure what else to suggest...

I apologize if this is covered elsewhere, I did not come across the question or answer in my search.
I have a Rogers Note II (GT-N7105/SGH-I317M).
It is running stock touch whiz 4.1.2. I had been running custom roms, but after their various issues, I am going with stock samsung at the moment.
I have TWRP installed as the custom recovery, and I used it to restore my backup I took right after rooting.
Not having any issues, but I am simply wanting to know if I can go into Settings >> Backup and Reset and the perform a factory reset of the phone to erase all apps and data.
I am not trying to unroot the phone or anything like that. This phone is a work phone and I am going to be turning it in for the Note 3 next week. I would like to erase my content before doing so, again, not trying to unroot it (I have the tools such as Triangle away, stock firmware and Odin) just want to do a wipe and reset it for the next person who may use it.
So again, the question. If I factory reset via settings will there be any issues or will it simply go back to a rooted blank rom with no apps data?
Or will I end up with a mess?
Thanks for the help!
Factory reset will only wipe your personal data that you entered nothing will affect system or any modifications on it you will see no mess just a clean phone

So I essentially will have a rooted phone with a romantic that is set back to stock? Which is exactly what I am trying to achieve.
The fact that I have twrp installed makes no difference?
Exactly it will not affect system you will have clean stock rooted with twrp installed
