Okay I've searched pretty well and have been unable to find a thread to get back to stock on the Thunderbolt. If I missed something I'm sorry and am an idiot. I was just wondering how I would get back to stock on the HTC Thunderbolt in case I need to.
There are instructions stickied in the development forum posted by jcase

will this process just "unroot" the phone or does it actually do a system restore to original factory state?
it the above stickied process only unroots is there a process to return the phone to its original factory state?
thanks mark.
It takes you back to stock.

does "stock" = original factory state? meaning as the phone was shipped from verizion?

Yes, it'll be just like the first time you used the phone; bloatware and all.

I have been a contributing member forever, I never post useless things. I remember when the first CM7 thread came along there were instructions right in it on how to revert back to 2.2 if you wanted to.
Now there are 30 cm7 threads and I cant find links to anywhere, and a search is useless.
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
I just odin to stock, afaik thats still the best way to get back.

Q: How do I go back to a Samsung stock ROM?
A: The easiest way is to go back to stock using Odin and flashing a full firmware (including PIT file) with repartition checked (Odin One-Click does this by default on Captivate)

Not thinking I flashed twrp recovery before unlocking bootloader and now have the "system software not authorized" warning.
I am downloading the stock image, do I just flash that with odin?
I have been a Motorola guy for years.
Thanks

Yessir I did.... I found a solution just now.
First of all let me say I'm sorry to even have to post this. I've looked and I'm sure this question has been posted a million times. But a lot of it just looks like Greek to me.
I recently bought a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 and found later that evening that it was rooted.
It's running Hyperdrive and the latest version. Also has a TeamWin screen.
I'd really like to unroot it and return it back to bone stock. But I haven't had any luck finding the firmware or instructions on how to do so that a new guy could totally understand.
If someone could give me a step by step and where I can find the stock firmware, I'd be forever grateful.
Thank you for reading this and I hope you all have a great day!

Alright, just follow steps 1 and 2 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
I haven't used it myself but you should keep apps and data and be stock unrooted. If you have any issues or questions you can ask me or the OP of that thread.

A No-Wipe will still leave remains behind of software. If you want stock follow what I sent you.

I figured it would have removed the root access and the TWRP recovery and leave it in a mostly stock state.

My S4 got basically fried today by the charger, but I need to restore it to stock so that they can't claim BS when I take it in for warranty.
I tried search to no avail, what is the newest STOCK ODIN TAR image to restore the S4 like it came out of the box?
Thanks

There are plenty of places in this forum and in the Development forum with directions for returning to stock. Including the post that you just replied to.
Search, read, and learn.

The thread I linked has all of the information you need. Do the full wipe option and your phone will be sparkling clean and unrooted.
Not to be nasty, but there's at least four threads on page one of this forum that ask the same basic question.
