You're able to download the firmware from the samsung site http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ Or you could have made a backup of the rom before root

Instructions for backing up stock ROM before root I too would greatly appreciate a PM regarding doing a full backup of my stock Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 rom before I root it. I plan on rooting the phone and installing a couple new roms to try them out and would really appreciate some direction! I also am interesting in how to unroot the stock rom if I was to root it and decide to go back for any reason. Thanks for your time and all your help! You guys all rock! :highfive: EDIT: - I've seen this site around here - 247xtreme. com/S4/ - is this valid and has anyone else tried it out?

Question. How to unroot my galaxy s4
Ib recently rooted my Verizon galaxy s4 using the method found on this link from xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380325 For various reasons I wish to unroot it. The problem is that I don't know how to do it safely. I have titanium backup, but haven't used it just yet. I'm new at this and could use some solid advice. There is an ota update from Verizon, but I can't take it while rooted. That's just one reason for me to unroot. Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Just click on the full unroot option in super su settings: Please Don't Forget To Press The Thanks Button!! :thumbup: My Devices: (i)Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos(i9082) - Rooted With Gennxt ROM (ii)Nexus 7(2012) - Rooted With Beanstalk ROM
When I do that what happens? Will it wipe the device or anything like that? Also, will I need a backup to restore once it's finished? Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
No it will not wipe the data it will do everything on its own and you can make backup just in case Please Don't Forget To Press The Thanks Button!! :thumbup: My Devices: (i)Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos(i9082) - Rooted With Gennxt ROM (ii)Nexus 7(2012) - Rooted With Beanstalk ROM

Yah, you can't flash all rom with safestrap. Just some roms can work with it. I'm looking for threads talk about this issue.

I know that's a bummer for some. Gigilie is porting over so many more almost daily too. Stock 4.4.2 isn't that much different from 4.3 I can tell you that cuz I have a sprint one on that.
