My enterprise email app will detect root. If i have CWM installed, could i flash a custom Rom and then change superuser to deny root access, etc? I thought of flashing a non-root kernel (stock) but the custom Rom would likely fail. Thoughts?

Try Root Keeper from the play store. It will allow you to manually temp root or unroot.

Thanks - I will give that a try. It sounds like just what I was looking for.
Do you know what it is checking for when it checks for root? Possible to just rename SU.apk to MU.apk?? rename back afterwards..sure a tasker or script could be made to make it fast and painless if it works..

Quick question: when you refer to "stock att tar file" are you referring to the stock AT&T kernel image file? Is there a "stock Rogers" or "stock Bell" file available for Canadian Note I717 users?
Just trying to wrap my head around the myriad options here...
Thanks,

For my purposes, the stock kernel image would not work. Once I root the phone, I want to put custom roms on it - most likely ICS. I then want to run Good on the custom image after temporarily unrooting. There is no stock (or even unrooted) ICS kernel that I know about.

it is flashable with odin
Can you upload stock system odin file？
the another thread i post. it is stock system with root. odin file
What's the difference between these two files? I assume one is the stock downloaded accessible via holding down the volume down button and power button? Sort of like the stock version of CWM?
What's stock boot?
Thanks.
So if you flash a custom rom these files will bring it back to stock?

So I have Da_G's root and CPU speed up but need to go back to stock because I am sending note back. Do I run both the files above and if so in what order?
Hi Mashi,
Thanks for your System Root method as I don't want to increase flash counters on it.
However, now that I need to exchange my galaxy note, how do I unroot it? I used your root method btw - just to remove bloatware and didn't go crazy - and I'm just trying to restore (unrooted), that's it.
Can I use those files that you attached with this post? If yes, should I use both or just the "att_note_stock_recovery.zip" via odin?
I need it to send in later today. Please help.
Thanks!
Wondering the same thing, do you have to use 2 files? or just recovery?
I'm also wondering about this.
Do we flash the boot first, reboot than flash the recovery?
Thanks Mashi.

Whats the best rom to use these days?
get the stock kernel from <sammobile.com>. and flash through ODIN. really very simple. but then you root for the fun and freedom and why go back?
Obviously it hasn't been sent out throught at&t yet and I'm having a crap time with my CPU. Can I download the update like the old school days. Like do the update.zip deal?

Sadly no....
Either Kies the update to the device,( for unrooted stock devices) or use the stock rooted version from the "note everything" thread...(pending a rooted device of course.) Or you can Odin push the .tar image from another PC.
"Bigfau" has 3 stock rom variants, all rooted, and all stock. these are zip files, so I'm guessing you are already rooted with CWM ?
If so...you can just download/flash these variants....g

3. Defrost/Enable AT&T Software Update, download it and apply

I suppose that would be some actual profit. There were some users stating that this method would work for our phone in other threads but most of us don't want to risk it or be without a custom recovery in the first place. But something like this, for me, will be given a shot later on today when my AT&T S4 arrives

I'm sure folks have already thought of this but check out the other Galaxy S4 forums like the Sprint one. Maybe certain items are common in the updates and can be flashed on our VZW device.

Maybe factory reset, reinstall voodoo root keeper and try again???? Update should have worked based on the steps you took. I've never heard of an ota not installing because of root.
So I did something really really dumb and did the OTA update to 4.3 then tried to "downgrade" to 4.1.x using oden and now I cant use my device. Does anyone have the OTA update for 4.3 available for download that I can try to fix my phone with?!?
go to sammobile. com and download it there.

You can not downgrade, and attempts to do so will potentially trip your KNOX counter. At the very least you'll end up soft-bricked and have to do a repair install....of 4.3.

Meat & Potatoes:
I tried ODINing my GN2 back to stock 4.1.2 tonight - I rooted it a couple months ago. Did not install a custom ROM, just rooted (the process also replaced the Recovery).
Tried ODINing back to stock using the files and information found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207
When I run ODIN, it simply fails. Tells me "0 succeeded / 1 failed". Phone still works, I just can't get anywhere in the rolling back to stock bit.
Longer Version:
I've had the phone since the end of January 2013. I rooted it for a couple of reasons, mostly to get rid of bloatware, but also for an app or two that needed root access. I've had zero problems with usability or stability of the device before or since the rooting.
I couldn't tell you which root process I used, but I know it came from an XDA thread, and it automatically replaced the recovery with something touch-based. I'm not sure of the name of the recovery. It did not replace the ROM - I've had less than desirable results from using non-stock ROMs in the past on a handful of other devices, so I wasn't about to risk it.
Since VZW is rolling out the 4.3 update and it looks like a good deal, I want to get my phone back to non-rooted, non-custom-recovery'd state so I can install the update. I'm also doing it because I'm hoping they get the phone up to 4.4 down the line so I can use HCE and GWallet.
Currently, I'm downloading (very slowly, thanks sammobile, for not hosting files on your own servers) the stock VZW 4.3 package from Sammobile.com in hopes I can do something with that and just go straight up from where I am, but I'm not holding my breath since the OTA fails due to the custom recovery.
Any thoughts on what I might try differently to get ODIN to work?
Guys I had the same issue. What I did to resolve my issue is:
1. Get the Verizon upgrade assistance installed on your PC . Here's one from scoobysnack (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47368638&postcount=7&nocache=1&z=2813086102250963)
2. Boot to download mode
3. plug in USB and wait for the update message on your PC
4. Update should take about 30-40 min depending on your connection speeds.
5. once updated, your phone should boot back to normal, but you will LOSE everything and have to start all over.
Hope this helps.

Google kingo. It's the only root option I'm aware of. You cannot unlock the bootloader and probably never will able again. Yes this means no cwm or twrp.
