[HOWTO] unroot Complete stock guide with FAST working links

First, thanks to all the Devs that put in all this work for free!
There has much confusion around unrooting the GSII. Zedomax was kind enough to make a once click unroot for us but there is trouble with it removing the customer kernels that have been included in some of the roms. I have put to together one place where there will be working links for everything that has gone missing. Getting stated there are multiple methods to unroot the phone and bring it back to stock, ODIN and Clockwork MOD recovery
Clockwork Mod Recovery Method:
Step 1. Download these 2 files :::Stock Kernel::::Zedomax's unroot rom::: and put in the root (meaning not in a folder) of the SD card.
Step 2. Boot the phone into recovery mode by hold vol +/- and power once it shows the Samsung logo let go of everything (Or from the power menu if you are using the JUGGERNAUT best rom IMHO).
Step 3. Using volume +/- key highlight "Install Zip from SD card" select it with the POWER key then using the same method select "Choose zip from SD card"
Step 4. Highlight the downloaded file (should be named "kernelstockcwm.zip") and select YES wait for it to complete
Step 5. using step 3 and 4 now select "SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax" and YES.
DONE! Phone will be mostly stock, at least enough to return the device with out worry. (Zedomax's restored rom is dodexed tho)
ODIN METHOD-
Step 1. Download files to computer
ODIN LINK
Kies LINK
STOCK TAR (Thanks to Przekret) Rezipped and checked files (Odined my self back to stock) and removed password
Step 2. Install the KIES program on your PC REBOOT then extract ODIN and the Stock zip file to a folder on your computer.
Step 3. Run ODIN and put your phone in Download mode. (Have usb plugged in the computer and Hold VOL +/- on the phone and plug USB in) Once you see the download mode screen hit VOL +
Step 4. Select PDA from within odin and navigate to the extracted .tar.md5 file and hit START. When it completes give 6-10 min the phone will automatically reboot for you.
STEP 5. Thanks to Mikeyinid If you get a boot loop reboot the phone into recovery (Volume up+down and power until Samsung logo appears after let them go. Highlight Wipe data/Factory reset and select with power)
Hope this helps, didnt really see a definitive howto with steps and working links.

Thanks for this guide, wish I would have known before.
I'm on my second SGS2.

No offense to zedomax, but his zip shouldn't be included in any unroot/return to stock how tos. The odin package is the only true method. Zedomax's zip is deodexed, and while T-Mobile may never know, its still not stock. Not to mention the fact people have already reported in several other threads that his zip is not flashing the stock kernel.

Agreed sir, hopefully people will flash the stock kernel first, but yeah your right. More options the better especially if your in a pinch with no Odin access zedomax's way will pass but only true stock is via Odin.

Eh, I can see your point. Guess not everyone will have access to a pc or odin and being able to at least pass for stock is a good thing.

What method did you use to root the phone?
If you have customer recovery installed, I think that cannot be fixed.
I use CF Auto Root
1. Root using CF Auto Root
2. Use TriangleAway to reset counter
3. Install OTA RootKeeper to keep root
4. Factory reset
5. Problem solved
For another question, Samsung only release app2sd fix to I9505 in certain country. Still long way to come to T-Mobile.

I used the method in the sticky of the general forum. And yes custom recover.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2

The apps 2 sd is available in the MEA release for Germany. You can find it in the 9505 section. It can be flashed to Tmobile phones as long as you flash a tmobile kernel right after. I am using an MEA rom right now. The pop up message is because you have rooted and flashed custom firmware to your phone. Your device is now "custom" and cannot recive stock OTA updates. Unless you use triangle away by Chainefire.

With custom recovery, even if you can check and download update, it will not be able to install.
I may be wrong but that's what happened to my S3 before.

If you are keeping stock rom and want to install OTA directly. I recommend you root and keep the stock recovery, like what I did.
Most of the people install customer recovery because they want to flash 3rd party ROM.

Wiping cache/dalvik-cache is the ability of custom recovery, not rom.
With stock recovery, I am not able to wipe either one but I can wipe dalvik-cache manually using a root explorer.
I am sure you can find a command to run in terminal emulator to wipe cache and dalvik-cache.

I still like cachemate
Root is necessary:

I don't think there's a simple way to restore stock recovery only.
If you really want to, you have to restore everything through flashing the stock odin tar.

Not able to flash recovery.. help please

Hello all,
I was hoping one of you can help me. I purchased an s4 m919 yesterday from Tmobile. It is fully stock and it arrived with 4.2.2 M919UVUAMDL.
I am no stranger to the world of rooting,roms and cwm. I had an s2 back in the day so I am no stranger to odin either. Basically my goal is this:
1. Install CWM
2. Backup Stock FW in CWM
3. Install Custom rom from dev section
My process with odin is as follows:
make sure all is UNchecked except auto reboot.
place appropriate cwm tar in "pda" section
click start.
The process begins and instead of passing it fails. My phone also softbricks and I have to restore with kies.
I've already restored and bricked once thinking that maybe the first time was a bad download.
I have no ideas. I've googled and searched on xda and nobody seems to have a problem flashing recovery.
Let me know if more info is required.
Thanks,
frustrated and confused

Are you rooted? Try installing through the Rom Manager app itself?

After you have rooted download cwm from market and follow the prompt's once clock work mod has flashed do a backup and you will need to download ad away by chain fire this will reset the flash counter and once that is done enjoy flashing
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium HD app

Well it looks like ive run into a more immediate problem. Like i said I tried it once and it bricked I succesfully recovered with kies. I tried another download and the same thing happened. I went to restore with kies and now im getting an error in kies about 70% in. I need to go to emergency recovery and I do and that errors out. If problem persists contact samsung. Great.... I'm going to try and restore to stock using odin but my phone just seems to hate odin.
Edit: i tried restoring stock image in odin and fails almost right away. what is with this phone ?!

Try another USB port, and stock USB cable if you aren't using it. If you are grab a different cable and try it. If still errors out try another computer.

From my understanding you should have auto reboot UNchecked when Odin flashing CWM. Pretty sure you're supposed to leave everything unchecked and then after it's finished you unplug, pull the battery and then turn on the phone. Looks like your problem is before this though, so I would try another computer and make sure that you're using the stock cable.

Yes I think so I don't think having auto reboot checked would cause it to fail so bluntly. Am i just destined for a stock sgs4? Times like these makes me miss my nexus 4. I wish the damn thing hadn't broken=( oh well.. let me know if you have more questions.

Just follow a video step by step if anything. I prefer TWRP over CWM. If you do use TWRP make sure you use version 2.5.0.2 as 2.6 has been having problems!

I think you should strat by reseting your phone to its original state and you can to this following the tread of the toolbox(i'm browsing woth tapatalk now so i will try to come back and post the link but it should be easy to find). You will use triangle away in the process.
Then update your phone trough samsung kies.

Can you still get to TWRP ? team win recovery ?? ....
But I think Zen's plan will be better.....

Here's the cwm/twrp zip for ucamc3 recovery.... (attached)
Note that the OTA may still fail if it detects anything missing or different than what it expects. In that case, a wipe of /system, then a revert to MA4, may be needed.

You want me to go back to TWRP? I have the stock recovery right now.

The simplest path is to reflash TWRP, then flash the recovery I provided above, then see if the OTA will complete.
You might also be able to get the OTA to complete by running the openscript option from TWRP .. I know DS has had some success with that, but ymmv. If you try this option, you may get more information about where the OTA fails - take note of that and report back.
If that doesn't work then the next option would be to wipe /system and then odin flash UCAMA4. This should get you a clean OTA path to 4.3, and your data and apps should be preserved (although there is some risk). I recommend making backups beforehand in TiBu and then copy your SDCard contents to PC.

Thanks for you help will report back later. have to wait another 20 hours to dl the OTA update again.

You can turn off auto update of network time and set your time ahead 24 hours.
An alternative if ota doesn't work is to flash the stock rooted mk6 package - odin or cwm odex... DS provided a link earlier.
If Knox is a work requirement, you would need to decline SuperSU offers to disable Knox and you would need to run SuperSU and request full unroot.

I think I bricked my phone?

My phone kept freezing so I figured I would wipe everything on my phone and just reboot it and it would give me a fresh install, BUT I wiped EVERYTHING cache, internal, external storage and now when I try to reboot it says "No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" when I select Yes it just reboots and I see the samsung logo and then it turns off. I tried hooking my phone up to my computer via USB and copying a ROM zip file to the external or internal SD and when it is copying it gives me a error saying "The device has stopped responding or has been disconnected" I tried taking my SD card out and putting it back in and formating it and that didn't fix it.
My phone is a Sprint Samsung Note 4 and I was using the USB cable that came with the phone.
Any help would be much appreciated!

From another thread with no OS...

If you have your PC USB driver installed, boot into recovery, connect USB to PC, goto mounts on TWRP and enable MTP. Then you should see phone and card folders to move your ROM to.
If you use phone folder, don't wipe internal memory before flashing ROM.

You could just Odin the stock tar and root again.

MTP is enabled, I see the the two folders, but as soon as I try copying files to the folders I get an error message :/

Did you try mounting system? What kernel are you using?
It may sound strange but keeping your phone's screen awake may make a difference too.
I wouldn't hesitate to just Odin the stock tar if this doesn't help.
Edit: you could also unmount the sdcard and remove it and write to it with a USB sdcard reader.

I put the SD card in my Tab S 10.5 and am currently copying over the zip, hopefully this works.

That works too. I was just editing my reply as you responded.

Well it worked by installing the ROM, but now it just boots and says "Could not do normal boot, Odin Mode (High Speed)" Then shows the little android guy and downloading... :/
EDIT: This was the ROM zip I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-sixperience-n5-port-v1-0-beta-t3204460
Won't let me boot into TWRP mode
Also is there a step by step guide on how to get back to stock using ODIN? I've been searching, but no luck.

I followed the link; it's for Exynos 910C?
Do you have 910P Sprint phone or something else? Sprint version uses Snapdragon processor.

Odin stock tar is simple. You already have the USB driver, right?
Power down
Pull battery 30 seconds
Boot into download mode
Flash in Odin 3.10.7 with defaults
Let it boot, go through setup wizard
Look for one activation reboot request
Test data and GPS
Odin TWRP with no auto reboot
Pull battery and USB
Boot into TWRP
Follow ROM OP for install instructions

Okay so I download Odin 3.10.7, do I need to also download a stock sprint ROM .md5 file or something? Sorry for all the questions, just waiting on a call for a job interview and phone is out of commison lol...

Stock OK1 tar is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63868221&postcount=1
Verify the md5 with a md5 checker on your PC.
Extract only the tar.md5 from zip for Odin to find. I.E., right-click, open archive with 7zip and drag the tar.md5 to Odin folder.

THANK YOU! You're a life saver! For the future what did you search to find the most current stock rom tar file? I searched "stock sprint note 4 rom odin" and it gave me some old file and wasn't working, but the one you gave me worked!

Sprint Note 4 general forum usually has a faster download link than Sammobile. Someone usually pulls it, uploads it and posts it there.
