I want to return the phone to get a new one, but obviously I'm unable to due to rooting and installing a custom ROM, is there a way to get the original rogers ROM back so it will be unnoticeable that I've changed the ROM? If not what other options do I have?
Thanks in advanced , any advice is appreiciated.

You can find the stock firmware here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SGH-I747M&pcode=RWC&os=1&type=1#firmware
Also you might want Google around for "resetting the flash counter". If the flash counter is incremented it voids the warranty.

Thanks for the response. Do I install the stock ROM the same way as I did the custom one?

use odin to install stock rom...

Sorry, I'm not too familiar with phones. Can anyone post a link or step by step how to use Odin to flash it back to the original ROM? The only time I used Odin was to root my phone. Thanks in advance

This is a guide, its for USA version but its the same just don't use the ROM file they provide:
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-unroot/how-to-unroot-att-galaxy-s3-sgh-i747/
Another one with ROM files for the Canadian one should you need

Good luck.

Another thing you could do is if you had insurance just smash the phone like I did give them the 100 bucks and get a brand new phone! Rogers is so easy to manipulate

Thanks for all the replies, I was able to unroot and return everything back to the stock ROM, now to the Rogers store!

Just did this yesterday. It couldn't have been easier.

What about updating while on root, will I be able to update to JB?
Great input m8's really enjoyed you guys reassuring me on the right road plus Qbking77 is legendary...
now what about updating while on root, will I be able to update to JB?
don't know if its already as JB out of the box, website Sprint states JB on it.
can JB be also rooted like ICS?
Thanks again friends, now just got to start researching battery saving Roms.

If you root using the first method, it give you the stock rom with root access, then you can flash any rom after that, be it ics or jellybean.

[Q] knox and rooting questions

Hey everyone. Im relatively new to this forum and rooting. I have some background knowledge in programming and other related aspects, unfortunately nothing related to Android. As well as some Linux OS experience. Now as far as i know ROM's could be compared to OS builds. Android 4.1.2, 4.3, 4.4, etc. Rooting makes you a super user/sudo like Linux. I think i have that pretty much correct. Now for the things i know little about.
-KNOX so far it seems its mostly used for enterprises and to see if we have installed a custom ROM. I've seen a lot of different information about Knox. What exactly else does it do/change? As of 4.3 i see we could no longer roll back or we will brick our device. What should i be wary of? I could care less about tripping the knox counter.
-Stock OTA is another thing i was curious about. This simply means an update was installed post factory by user, correct? My girlfriend has an S3 and i cant remember if 4.3 was stock or 4.1.2. I just wanted to clear up if my OTA updated S3 was covered under this.
-i saw one root method which kept the stock recovery but installed the superuser. What is the benefit for having a stock recovery? Would i be able to use a custom one with Knox in place? I was thinking of using a 4.4 cyanogenmod rom.
Sorry if this seems a bit noobish, but my schedule is tight and i spent maybe 6 hours trying to find exact information. Kind of hidden lol.
I appreciate any answers!

And to answer some if them.
There is no advantage to stock recovery, you can't do anything with it.
Yes you can do anything the same with Knox but installing a custom recovery triggers the warranty bit in Knox. If you bring in your phone to be repaired or something, if they put the phone in Download Mode they could tell whether you installed a custom recovery because Warranty Bit would say 1 instead of zero. There's also no way to reset the flash counter with Knox.
And the biggest thing, if you have Knox do not try to downgrade the firmware. Aka don't try to Odin anything other than 4.3+. It will brick your device.
Other than those things it won't effect you at all.
And yes an OTA is Over The Air update. When the device scans for firmware updates and it find one it automatically downloads it and persistently bugs you about it until your firmware is the most current version. Done by the user or sometimes the techs at phone stores like to do it without asking you.

So to clarify (at work, ill read your link, appeciate it) Knox wont affect anything BUT the counter and downgrading? So i could root the old way with odin and cwm for 4.1.2 without problems?
Stock recovery is just worse in general or similar? Lastly "stock" ota is what i meant lol. I guess that means a non-custom ROM from your carrier?
I personally dont care for my warranty, i have a few months left in my contract and could upgrade now to a new phone if i wanted.
Thanks. I hate to sound like i did no research, i appreciate the link.

[Q] How bad is KNOX?

Just curious why KNOX is so awful to everyone.
Does it prevent root altogether?
Does it prevent custom ROMs from being installed?
Does it only prove to Samsung that you have messed with your phone and broken your warranty?
All honest questions: please be gentle.

KNOX is so awful because many people don't realize they already have it. Then when trying to fix a semi brick, they flash the wrong tar file that downgrades the bootloader. BRICK!

Thanks for the info.
I don't care about my warranty; my cracked screen will probably prevent any warranty claims from happening anyway.
What do you look for to make sure that you are flashing to the same firmware?

Settings/More/About Device. Mostly whatever you firmware you flash, you can't go back from that.

One of the main things one has to be careful with when Knox'ed up is the bootloader. Once you have a Knox bootloader, you can't flash any ROM that will overwrite with a non-Knox bootloader, or flash back to a pre-Knox stock bootloader.

Since knox is inevitable, I am going to take a few moments to see if it is useful. I want to experience if enterprise email and calendar apps will be beneficial rather than using outlook web app.
I will eventually root the device which I believe will break knox. I understand there is no way to hide root from knox since it would defeat the purpose. Does anyone know if there is any way to go back after knox detects root. Does going back to stock allow knox to work again.

Once KNOX has been tripped, you no longer have protection through KNOX. None of the KNOX security apps will work and there is no way back.

[FOUND SRS ROOT TESTED + SS] SM-N910A NK3 Update

So recently we received the NK3 update on the AT&T Note 4 and I looked on SRS Root's website and found that that our model the SM-N910A with the exact build number AUCU1BNK3 <-- aka the NK3 update apparently has been tested or else I don't think it would be on this list. I will try this when I get home. If it works I'll let you guys know and provide Screen Shots if it doesn't then ignore the SM-N910A NK3 build on SRS Root's list.

I havent. SRSROOT hasn't been updated in a while and even on their website it says they only support up to 4.2 jellybean. I went on they're twitter and even asked how they rooted and if they had a confirmed rooted note 4. Of course I never got a response.

There's no method yet

There is no method for root for the N910A as of yet. That has been there for awhile and obviously their compiled list is inaccurate.

Yea as @tyiphius says it says it roots successfully and completes the process but does not work this thread can be closed now we know it doesnt work.

Looks like NOBODY will ever root N910A nor unlock its boot loader
