Unroot & return to stock? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Can't seem to find the correct info, so if someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Currently running build MJ7 with custom recovery and Hyperdrive ROM. How can I return the device to stock and unrooted? Also, is there any way to remove the custom icon at boot? Any help would be great!
Thanks.

How do I create a stock kernel zip?

If I take one of the custom kernel zips, and switch out the boot image, do I need to change anything else? For example if I take perseus kernel zip, and just switch out the boot image, will that work? Thanks in advance

No it will not because the stock kernel is not capable of using such features such as Perseus. It's not that simple unfortunately.

Switching out the boot images always worked on htc devices. I just want a flashable stock kernel zip to flash back to if i dont like a custom kernel. I have been enjoying a modded stock rom, and don't want to run a custom rom right now. If it isn't as simple as this, could someone point me in the right direction?

You're saying you want a flashable stock kernel zip? Right? If so, do these VRALL4 and VRALJB kernels work? They are completely stock.
Thank you man, I googled, and dug around for an hour here. This is exactly what I need. Thank you very much. Guess my google foo needs some work.

Hey @mjcollum, how do I get the AP and CSC file from the MI5 to flash?
Also, how do I wipe without using TWRP?
Kind of want to start from scratch... Thanks

These are tar images you flash in Odin that take you back to stock.

One reason why hash code doesn't advise loading a rom over the stock rom. I take it you didn't make a backup of the stock rom before loading the custom one? Odin probably your best choice or look into Kies.

Did you try the full wipe tar? Also are you positive you're on MDK now and you downloaded the mdk tar? And did the md5 match on your download?
These are the most basic things that would prevent your phone from booting.

Problem fixed. I rebooted in recovery after flashing the MDK tar and did a full factory wipe and it booted right up!
Thank you again

[Q] Chaos/Hell opened up... should I unroot?

I opened up the gates of hell. First installed international MJ9 ROMs. Then erased my internal after backing up EFS to the internal... derp.
Now I don't have IMEI info. it's NULL.
I am growing tired of reading non-Verizon-GNII topics not helping much to solve this issue.
And for some reason my phone is keep spamming "FACTORY MODE ON"
I wonder if I unroot my phone and upgrade it to OTA 4.4.2 it will fix everything.
Any ideas?
What should I do to go back to stock 4.3 or 4.4.2?
P.S: Got out of Factory Mode.
I would try to odin back to factory for what ever you had prior to this. Don't take the ota or you'll be stuck there. . And if you weren't already on 4.3 don't go it either. Totally different hell if you do, one with locked bootloader and no root access...

I had alliances Rom 4.3 before all this happened.. What do you mean by Odin back to factory?
In the android development section for the vzw note 2 there's a sticky on returning to stock. Follow the path for flashing 4.3 factory image in odin

Ah nice thank you!
Is this actually unrooting my phone? I mean will this lock my bootloader and prevent me from installing custom roms in the future?
Thanks so much for your advise.
Yes it will. That's why u wanna flash whatever u had before. If you had 4.3, flash 4.3. If you had an older image flash it. The thread has everything you need. If you can do 4.1 then you can unlock the bootloader again. If you flash 4.3 you can root but not unlock. If you flash 4.4 you are bone stock no root possibly forever

Sweet... I just installed rooted stock 4.3 by beanstown106 and everything's back to normal.
All thanks to you vlx600d.
I know I asked you this once before but I just want to double check:
- I am able to flash 4.4.2 ROM from my 4.3 ROM without a problem?
- Can I flash 4.3 back from 4.4.2 ROMs?
Thanks so much!
For anyone with my kind of problem, try installing Official Rooted Stock 4.3 and flash the modem via Odin per the instruction in the link.

You should be fine to flash 4.4.2 and revert back as well
Glad to hear your back up and running.
