I have SGH-T889 with SU (rooted) on 4.3. How would I completely remove the rooting? Just re-flash 4.3 via ODIN?
Yes, flash stock ROM with Odin and perform a factory reset from stock recovery before booting the stock ROM for the first time.

Root with Docholidays root66. Its just a rooted factory image. All you have to do is flash it in odin, then install a custom recovery, and flash a custom rom. Do not Odin your custom recovery or custom roms, because it will trip you flash counter. If you dont want to trip your counter flash then root with the latest ICS Root66 image(UVALJ4), then flash custom recovery, then flash custom roms. When going back to Stock without root, all you have to do is Odin back to stock and do a factory reset(It typically wont boot stock, if you dont factory reset). Although, I odin back to root66, use triangleaway(from the play store) to reset my flash counter, Do a factory reset, then flash stock. You can find the root66 files here

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.
Soon the 4.3 stock firmware will come out, but since my mom's phone is rooted it won't allow the OTA update.
Now I have CWM flashed and obviously the phone is rooted, will a flash of the new firmware and a cache/dalvik cache wipe suffise?
Or should I get a pre-rooted ROM and flash that?
I assume since this is a stock 'update' a Factory Wipe is not required, am I wrong to think this?
Thank you and sorry for this question but nothing came up in search
If u flash a pre-rooted rom, root will be present ofcourse..but if you flash stock rom via odin, u will lose root and need to root it again.

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

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.
