If you want to be completely stock without losing data....
First odin flash cf auto root for stock recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644
Then download supersu again

Then download triangle away
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwyLDEsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS50cmlhbmdsZWF3YXkiXQ..
Run triangle away as root
Then go to super su and full unroot
0 flash counter
Stock recovery
Unrooted
Profit.
If your device Status is Modified.... Factory Reset will make it Official.Soooo Unless you need to return your phone, leave it alone.
Always make a stock rooted backup whenever you root and you can revert back to stock in minutes without factory reset
This took me 2 hours to figure without losing apps or data. So hit the thanks if it helped

if you use TA under root, doesn't it force an auto reboot? How do you get the SU to do full unroot then?
Yes, once you do TA it reboots in a recovery and warns you tge resets counter. Does not factory reset just restarts and clears counter.
Under supersu if you scroll down to the bottom of options ut wilk say full unroot.
Id show a screenshot but I unrooted already. If you see it can you post a screenshot.

easiest way. once you run the TA app, it'll reboot, once you press 'vol up' to clear and when it's done (screen goes blank), pull the battery, go to DOWNLOAD mode, it'll be 0.
Does this also work on the Rogers version? It is the SGH-I317M.
Yes

Make sure all rooted apps are uninstalled then go to settings. If it says modified like mine then there is still a rooted app installed. Your picture is correct, shows everything stock.

Well that picture is stock out-of-the-box. I just want to make sure i can obtain that back whenever it is needed.
Post your device status as well mine said modified. Yours should be normal. Good info thanks.
And yes those steps are what you will follow to put back in factory settings. The device status must also be unmodified. In my pic its modified.

One quick question. ..
Okay so if I DID make a stock rooted nandroid backup before I flashed custom rom and kernal and I wanted to just completely unroot and go back to stock everything, then all I would have to do is just flash back to the nandroid I made, then run triangle away, delete any root apps, then click unroot in SuperUser and I should be good to go if I have to take the phone in for warranty? And will it be in that exact order? Or should I just run triangle away then factory reset and flash official stock rom? Is that basically the same? Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks

Hey guys, im having a bit of an issue. I cant check for software updates because my device has been modified. Is there a fix for this, even after I Flashed the stock tar file, it still gives me this message :/ I have only flashed one ROM on this device, but since I forgot to make a back-up I resort to using Odin when I want to get back to stock. Now I read on another thread that root could be a cause, so I figured, complete restore with with Odin would help, but instead I get the same message.

You need to use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.
This thread will show you how to.

Yea, you need root to use Triangle Away. After you reset the counter, just flash back to stock.

my some friend flash official ROM back to LJ1 after they OTA update to mk4 ，they can't do OTA again ，some of them do it and the device was bricked .
the bricked device came only into ODIN mode , ever can't into recovery mode .
finally they unbricked the device and not dare to OTA again .
i think ,it's because of the KNBOX .

You can go back I did plus get rid of knox bootloader. I was stuck and everytime I tried the knox bootloader was saying unsupported and wouldn't allow me to downgrade. So what I did was flash twrp in odin and then downloaded a stock mc rom with count reset and stock bootloader rooted or non there was two versions and it put me back bone stock with no knox anything. That's the only way I know that worked for me I tried allot of different ways that didnt work. With knox it block everything.

I appreciate all the replies! One more question, im also rooted and I've removed all the knox software but besides that im completely stock. Will that make a difference?
If your on knox bootloader it won't let you downgrade with odin . Go to download mode and see if you see knox stuff at the top of you do try downgrading my way.

Ok let me make sure I'm understanding this. If I want to go back to mc2 I can use the back to stock with counter reset mc2 zip right? And if I'm correct flashing the custom recovery to do so will set off Knox correct? But once the zip flashes I'll be back on mc2 bootloader without Knox I'm assuming. Now let's say I decide to update again, will the 4.3 Knox bootloader show 0 or be marked as 1 like it's tampered?

Re upgrading to the 4.3 upgrade will cause the knox status in download mode to reappear and yes it will still be tripped. But you could revert to MC2 and then use lorjay589s thread to upgrade to the new 4.3 with the MC2 bootloader so everything will appear untampered

Okay.. I had upgraded to the 4.3 Deodexed and Rooted KNOX removed ROM by lorjay589. Great rom, but I was missing some of the things that I use (Wallet, NFC, "That Bump Thing", etc...)
I wanted to resort to MC2 Stock and reset the counter and then take the OTA, and just deal with it from that point.
When I did the normal boot into recovery, wipe completely, and then flash the MC2 Stock with Counter Reset ROM (As I have done multiple times in the past), along with the root.zip to maintain root temporarily to restore my app data, I ended up stuck on the "U Were Scared we're almost done) for ever. I waited and waited and waited. The options in TWRP were available and the log shows "Updating partition details" and it never moved.
I decided (after 30 minutes) to pull the battery (Yea, I know, not smart), and attempt the clean/flash again.
Now, I'm sitting with no OS and each time I reboot the phone into recovery, I go right back to the "U Were Scared" TWRP screen, and my SD Card is not available any longer.
Any help would be awesome! Thanks
had the same issue. just hit install and reflash mc2.
I'm finding it difficult to simply find a tutorial to relock the bootloader for my sgh-i317. I've failed several times to update to 4.3 but read since my phone is rooted I need to relock/flash to stock and try again. I understand I can use Odin which I did to root but I'm new to this and don't know where to find the appropriate file so I can attempt to update via OTA. Any help is appreciated...

This will erase EVERYTHING on your phone so use kies to back up messages,pics, etc BEFORE you begin!!
Go to sammobile and dl the stock firmware then dl this.
Have $3 on your google play account for triangleaway.
Then follow these steps
1.flash the stock firmware with odin
2. flash chainfire autoroot and update supersu in the play store
3. purchase and install triangle away (pay for it and support these awesome developers, dont be that guy), run counter reset and reboot
4. in supersu unroot
5.boot into stock recovery and factory reset and wipe cache and delvik cache and reboot.
6. on you phone go to settings>about phone> software update and run the ota update.
That should do it as you have gone completely back to stock, reset your counter and have stock recovery. This is what i had to do to get the ota to 4.3 yesterday/
U can always grab the firmware from sammobile.com type ur model number and download it and use odin to flash

Does Odin have a option to do a full wipe/factory reset?
That may be the only option.
He must have used the wrong root script, like AT&T or Sprint root.
