If you currently have the ll7 bootloader then simple.full wipe and flash 412 will be fine. You need triangle away to reset binary counter.

Yep, just download the stock ROM, flash with Odin. That will overwrite the custom recovery, remove root, and go back to an untainted Touchwiz stock ROM. If you have an incremented flash counter, be sure to solve it before you flash back to stock. Triangle Away can reset the counter to 0, but requries root. Flashing back to stock with Odin will not (in my experience) increment your counter. So after flashing your phone will be virgin again.
Currently running CM 11 (M2 release) Android 4.4.2 with CWM recovery (Latest)
I want to unroot my phone and put it into stock.
I've never officially updated to 4.3.
If I take these steps will I break my phone?
1. Data wipe
2.ODIN stock rooted ROM (4.1.2)
3.Data wipe
4.Install/Run triangleaway
5.ODIN non rooted stock tar
ANY help will be greatly appreciated! :highfive:
Your steps are just fine. Go ahead.
I do wonder that Odin flash of Non-Rooted Tar may trip flash counter. If I were you, I'd just remove SuperSU app from the Rooted image.
Thanks for reply I did it and now I have a stock, non rooted and stock recovery with 0 flash counter thanks.
I was worried about the 4.3 locked bootloader

You can download a custom rom, copy it to a sd card, and flash it in TWRP.

That's great you got it working. You can now flash 4.4.2 ROMs.

I m looking how to go back to stock.
You can try using mobile Odin to flash a stock AT&T ROM and update from there. AT&T never released a complete stock 4.3 ROM, only an update.
Any particular reason you want to go back to stock? It's unlikely you will have a warranty from Samsung since you flashed a custom recovery on a 4.3 ROM which would have tripped the knox counter.
So I recently used CF Autoroot to root my T-Mobile GS3 SGH-T999 and I heard that if you try to downgrade to android versions before 4.3 your phone will be hard bricked. So with my knox counter tripped I was wondering can I flash a rom that is on 4.2.2 I want to flash the MIUI rom. Thanks in advance.
You can flash any custom Rom via Custom Recovery. Nothing bad will happen as they have only Rom and Kernel.
However just never flash Pre-4.3 Samsung firmwares via Odin. Those contain the older bootloader. If you tried to flash older bootloader, you get hardbrick.

I know to get rid of the trip count I used triangle away. I installed, opened the app, followed the set up, reboot and count was back to zero.
Wanting to drop stock(latest) back onto my phone as the person buying it wants that. I want to say I remember reading I needed a newer bootloader for 4.4.2. I got my device on launch and got tired of waiting and went to CM11.
What if anything other than clearing data/cache and flashing the stock deodexed/rooted ROM would I need to do? If there is a bootloader, is it a separate odin file? or flashable .zip?

If you're on 4.3 still you will have to Odin a stock 4.3 firmware on to the phone. You can not have a custom recovery on the phone so the Odin way will also replace the custom recovery with stock recovery. Then once your phone is stock, you can then take the update to 4.4.2
If I'm not mistaken, you should download the 4.4.2 fw and Odin that on you phone as well. Even though you are Odining your new fw, the phone must be fully stock or that update will still fail.

Well I was on 4.3 stock then went to Cyanogen 4.4.2. I've now got the deodexed/rooted stock 4.4.2 from the forum here and was able to boot it using leankernel. It works and the buyer is satisfied with it. He know how to flash updated ROMs so he can change later anyway. Thanks for the response though, I was thinking noone was gonna answer.

If you want the newest/latest official stock N900T KitKat firmware why not do the following:
You need to download and Odin flash the official stock KitKat N900T NE6 firmware.
Here is the direct fast download link for it:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358537528
The above zip file also contains Odin, CF-Autoroot and TWRP 2.7.0.1 recovery.
Be sure to go into recovery before Odin flashing NE6 and do a factory data reset
and a full wipe. Optional: Then Odin flash cf-autoroot and the TWRP 2.7.0.1.
If you want more information and or instructions here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...60&postcount=2
If you want the older official stock N900T 4.4.2 NB4 KitKat rom you can
download it from: http://tekunix.com/downloads/TMB-N900TUVUCNB4-20140305155920.zip
and Odin flash it instead of the stock NE6 official N900T firmware.
Both the older and newer official Kitkat stock roms come with the required bootloaders/baseband.
Good luck!

So clear data/factory reset and clear cache in recovery. Reboot into download and flash NE6, then cf-autoroot, then TWRP? I didn't see you say exactly when to flash NE6.
