Okay guys, so here is the deal. My now is having some issues that may or may not require a return, and I would like to completely return to sick, just in case. I used casual to unlock and root, but how would I relock? I have not been able to find a guide anywhere. Also, how does triangle away work? I was told that I need to use this so that a triangle does not alert them to me unlocking. Noob question I know, but any help is appreciated. Thanks!

check my guide again...I just updated section 1b. We now have a VRAMC3 odin file. Now you can flash back to the latest stock and no need to update. :good:
Dont forget to thank Beanstown, he provided the link!
and yes that will unroot and relock.
OK , last post I promise lol. If I flash back to stock 4.1.1( through twrp) and update, I will be completely stock?

flashing through recovery does not replace recovery which will cause the ota update to fail. If you want to go back to factory stock. simply odin vramc3 in odin and be done.
OK thanks

Yes. Think if it as 2 levels of a hack. (I'm no pro so thus is a very generic description). With root you can do many more things than an unrooted phone (I rooted just to load all the apps in the multi window drawer). However, with an unlocked bootloader you can do even more (custom roms, overclock, nandroid.....which is a TOTAL backup of your phone, that can restore it to it's wxact state of when you nandroid it). I am rooted but did not unlock my bootloader (yet).

You can definitely make a nandroid with a locked bootloader, my dude.

Lol.....like I said, I'm (obviously) no pro. This is my first samsung. Is there an app or toolbox or something I can get? Or do i have to mess with odin (I'm still not even clear as to what odin is). I used the app to inject root and when I try to boot in to recovery it warns about customs roms so I just cancel it. Can I do that and proceed without screwing uo my phone?

Don't mess with odin unless whatever instructions you're reading call for it. Flash roms with a custom recovery.

Too late. I tried to backup in CWM and got that awful screen telling me i had unauthorized software and to head to verizon (and i haven't installed the OTA). Had to restore to stock and then reroot. I thought i had a grasp of this but i guess not.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
The main feature to unlocking the Bootloader is to have a custom kernel. Which handles the way the CPU works, which in turn with a custom kernel improve performance, and battery life.
I was under the impression you had to be rooted to unlock the bootloader but I guess not now
Be patient. No need to hurry. Read up until you have more confidence and context. Sounds like you are learning fast though.

That's odd because he didn't update the base to ll4 until build 7. Did you take the ota? Either way you sound be able to just follow the unlock procedures because you still have a stock boot loader. Worst case is you would just need to Odin root66 if you get a soft brick.

yes I got my phone 9 days ago so the guy from Verizon took the OTA. then I came home and I wanted to enable all app in my multitasking so I saw a video on YouTube about Beans and installed that ROM. And okay I guess I'll do that tomorrow because if something happens I think nobody will answer my questions later lol. Thanks do ill post the result after I try tmw.

DISCLAIMER:
Your device, your responsibility. I am not liable for anything you flash, including this.
As a result you'll probably want to read the rest of the thread and at least be aware of what you're flashing.
You've been warned.
Credits:
Thanks to the following for making this possible:
Anonymous sources for MD2 kernel
DJRBliss for Motochopper root exploit
Chainfire for SuperSU
jcase for setting the record straight on kernel root block (learn something new every day!)
And you, the community! Otherwise we wouldn't be here! Thank you!
Background:
The MDK kernel contains features that disable the su binary by default.
There are ways to bypass this once rooted but attempts to use Motochopper failed.
So we needed another way to get root.
...Enter the MD2 Kernel. At the moment one of the easiest doors into allowing Motochopper.
Download Links for MD2 Kernel TAR: http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=256
There are two mirrors posted on that thread.
Steps are pretty simple:
1) Enter Odin Mode - Hold Vol Down + Power from power off. (ADB reboot download also works with USB debugging on)
2) Flash MD2 kernel
3) Go to the Motochopper thread and follow the steps in OP.
Congratulations! You are now rooted.
Follow-Up/Notes:
1) You will want to go back to MDK kernel after rooted to avoid kernel/ROM mismatch and potential issues due to it. A few weeks ago this may have been an issue due to the root block but jcase has informed me that is corrected as of the latest SuperSU. So please update to latest SuperSU and flash back the MDK kernel. You can find a link to that here.
2) Warnings will now come up once rooted. You can suppress these by freezing SEAndroid.apk
Questions/Concerns/Etc.
Please post here if there are any questions, concerns, comments, etc. We're still human and can certainly make mistakes - I'll be happy to correct them if any are brought to light.
Enjoy!
sweeeeet!!! thanks!!!

Yea it's on that kernel already. Everything is working fine but I'd prefer to get that fixed for future "warranty" issues if I need to bring it to the store.

If you need to reflash stock via Odin before you take it in. That's the only way I know at the moment to get around it.
NM I had to unroot and reflash the kernel. Afterwards just flash the kernel to root them update the binaries (missed that step) and flashed the normal kernel. Problem solved.

Did you follow the step correctly that said install the latest version of SuperSU before flashing MDK kernel?

Right. But from what I have been told it won't hold with Superuser, which is what is installed with Motochopper. That's why have to change to Chainfire's SuperSU.

This is a back up of the stock AT&T system image and the boot.img. This is to restore in case you forgot to back up and get stuck in a bootloop. other dev's feel free to use this as a base for your roms just mention me as the source. The System image is rooted but that's about the only thing different from bone stock
It's SW verison 1.12.502.18
Kernel version 3.4.0-g278eae8
THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP.. THIS IS TO BE RESTORED IN TWRP.
Instructions:
Unzip the zip file,
Copy the whole folder into your TWRP/BACKUPS/YOUSERIALNUMBER/ folder on your SDCard
Restore System and boot and you're good to go.

I'm no expert but I would think you would want real stock, without root, if you wanted to return it?

you could always use supersu to unroot. There is an unroot option I believe. once you lock the bootloader again though it shows relocked instead of locked so they can tell you unlocked it and relocked it, if they even check. Most of the time they wont even check.. Just check it for physical/ water damage

I'm not interested in rerooting after updating but I would like to see what the new kit Kat is like... Thanks for replays beforehand you guys are the best

Flash back to stock recovery and use supersu paid to keep its root... Worked fine just make sure you are unlocked and s_off when u update so if something happens you can ruu back to 4.3.. glad I was!!! If you have the tether hack it will not work.. just to let you know
