Hey guys,
So I have been rooted and ROMed for about a month now but I want to go back to stock for one reason only, Samsung Pay.
I was approved for the Samsung Pay Beta test(I assume they give those out like participation ribbons) and want to go back to stock so I can download the latest update with Samsung Pay.
I've been trying to do this with Odin and have been stuggling.
Can anyone break down the steps for me in tiny simple words that I can understand?
Thank you
-JD

So at this point I've given up on Samsung and Sprint releasing an official copy of Jelly Bean anytime soon and am looking to root and flash Cyanogenmod 10 to my GS3. I just had a few questions about the rom and such before I commit to this.
1. I've heard the camera app isn't as good as the stock Touchwiz one (i.e. can't save to SD card, less features). Is there anyway to get the stock app on CM10?
2. Everyone says rooting a GS3 is easy, but from what I've read keeping the flash counter at 0 is a bit more difficult. Does increasing the counter void your warranty, and if so how would I go about keeping it at 0?
3. I know it's possible to get Google Now on CM10, but are there any more steps than just downloading and installing the APK?
4. I own a Macbook and would prefer to do everything through it. Using a PC isn't out of the question but it'd be kind of a hassle. How much of this can I do through my Mac?
(EDIT) 5. With CM10 M2 I don't need to flash every new release, right? I remember hearing they recently put in OTA updating and will push new versions there. It'd be great if that were the case.
I know these are kind of noob questions, but I've only every rooted my OG EVO and have almost no experience flashing roms. And considering I'm not paying for my phone or service plan I'd love to keep my phone as stable as possible with the warranty intact.

1. You do have the option of using the Touchwiz JB build. which has all the camera features and that can be found at the link below http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32152586&postcount=1
2.It will void your warranty but as long as you put it back to stock and remove the root you should be fine. (Remember to make a Nandroid Backup)
3.Google Now comes preinstalled on any Jelly Bean Rom.
4.You can do all of this through a Mac its very similar to the PC setup
If you need any tutorials on anything check out QBKing77 on Youtube he does video tutorials for all of this.

Thanks, that helped a lot!
I guess I realized this voids my warranty regardless of the counter haha, but would going back to stock with a Nandroid backup reset it?
Also, say I decide to go with CM10 over a Jelly Bean leak, would Google Now still come pre installed or would I need to find the APK?

And Google now is available in ANY jb rom including CM10 provided you flash the gapps with it
My USB is officially failing and somehow Samsung says I'm still in warranty so I'm going to try to send it back, but I need some assistance with downgrading because I honestly don't know what steps I need to take.
1) I am on jedi master x2 4.3 rom.
2) I have devil kernel, I never took the 4.3 ota so there isn't any knox on my phone.
3) I have the new tmobile modem.
4) I have TWRP as a custom recovery.
5) I also have triangle away from the play store if necessary.
My question is what steps do I need to take to put this phone on 4.1.2 so I can ship it back to samsung. I don't want to load 4.3 because I don't want to trip the counter.
Edit: Also adding as my usb is failing it cannot connect to pc so I can't use odin
Nvm got it done! Thank you mobile odin . My note is ready to go back.
Hello,
I own a N5110 (Wifi) version of the Galaxy NOTE 8.0
The warranty is void since the first day... So I don't have a problem with rooting
I saw this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpMY1xqXBhU
But I've read the comments, ppl have problems!!
And I'm not sure if it works with N5110 or for N5100 variant only!
Another Q:
Will the UNROOTING Process be easy, or it'll require flashing?
Won't I receive updates from SAMSUNG while being rooted (Without custom ROM) ??

For the first question, I am not sure never rooted with that.
For the second question you do need to flash the stock. Usually people just do that to hide that it has been rooted. If it is for that purpose that you are asking, and you have flashed roms, I recommend using Triangle Away, because that erases the counter of how many ROMs you have installed.
If you are at the stock you will receive updates, and if you do the update you will lose root. I have done that in the past with my Droid Bionic. I do not recommend it though because it lagged the hell out of my phone

Well, what's the point in installing the STOCK ROM if I wanted to UNROOT in my case?? (I mean I've no warranty anyway)
Can I just unroot without flashing?
And Yes I know about Triangle Away, I've read about it recently.
For the first question>> what do you recommend for rooting NOTE 8.0 N5110 ?
Thanks

As far as I know(being doing this for 3 years) There is no way to unroot without flashing the Stock Rom. The only way to flash the stock is using odin.
Honestly I do not know the best easy way to do it. All depends on the version you are at. I was on the updated version(not sure the build number). That framework apk didn't work with the version I had. The way I rooted was by first unlocking, then installed the TWRP through odin, then flashed a zip that rooted my phone. I do not recall any of the links. For the files, I lost them all because I just got a new computer and I was dumb enough to not do the back up on the other computer. Also I dont remember if there was steps in between, so I dont recommend following what I mentioned .
the way that I did is very similar to this one:

Thanks for your big help :good:
You can just install a nandroid stock rom for your device which is non rooted...
Hey everyone. I'm moving on to a new device, and I want to provision this Note 4 so my daughter can use it. Obviously however, I don't want to hand her a rooted phone.
Is there a guide on how to return a rooted Verizon Note 4 (currently 5.1.1) back to full stock? I can't seem to find one.
If there isn't a guide, can you tell me what steps need to be done? Will taking the OTA that I've blocked restore it back to stock? I think I know what steps in theory, but not seeing some explicit steps laid out has me wanting to make sure I understand what needs to be done before I attempt this.
I want the boot loader locked as well, with the custom boot screen gone, though I suppose that goes without saying.
Please help, and thanks!
Just odin whatever android version you want on the phone. Just make sure the file is your carrier specific.

Or you could just download kies and do a factory reset

I just uploaded the newest update if you would like to flash it with Odin. Just unzip, flash it in the AP slot and then do a factory reset. Download in the link below.

I am currently using Noble rom and I would like to unroot and go back to stock OS whichever is latest official release by Samsung.
Can you someone help me or share some guide for this?
I understand knox is already triggered.
Take Odin and simply flash original rom, you can download ist an samifirm or so. Than you will have an unrooted device with original rom. Simple and fast.
I does this many times on my old S5Neo. I think this should work on S9 too. My S9 right now is still original without root or flash.
