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

You wont be able to install the frimware unless your device status reads official ( menu- setting- about phone- status ). So unfortunately you will either have to wait for a modified version of the firmware or revert back to stock with odin tar and then take the OTA update.
Yes smn-9005 is what most of us on NABD (& NAB ) used to root our phones.

Do you lose the engineering bootloader?
You can also flash with Odin either philz or twrp. ... Keep in mind this rom will reflash stock recovery. .. so uncheck auto reboot in Odin and boot into twrp or Philz using vol up home and power and flash su zip
This has a kit kat bootloader that as of right now is not ! Not! !!!! Not !!!! Able to Downgrade .... so once you have nab you can't use any 4.3 roms. ...

Same here. I'll wait for Kingo to support KitKat.
Does flashing the unroot tar wipe the device, or at least the apps? I assume that method does not trip Knox 0x0?
hmmm

I would assume not, and i dont think you would trip knox by using a stock tar of your current most up to date firmware,

As I said, my phone DOES read official, thanks to Wanam Xposed. I don't get any "modified" error message when I look for updates, just "the latest updates have already been installed". Do I need to undo Kingo and Wanam or has the update just not reached the DFW area yet?
Sorry

I misread that, try running the xposed framework disabler, reboot, and try to redownload the software. If you get the message " your device is up to date', then it probably means it hasnt rolled out to your area yet.
I tried this but the phone just boot looped when it said it was booting into recovery after flashing the tar....

Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657447 that and it should get you up and running on Kit Kat then root if you want to be rooted.
All set. Thanks for the assistance!

The ability for call recording was lost in nc5. In nab it worked. Can I go back, as long as I flash the development boot loader first, to nab without borking anything?

I normally don't like to recommend a specific rom, but the Ax fits that which you seek. Again, though, I encourage you to try as you like and see what is best for you.

Hi all, I got a couple questions. I'm currently still on 4.3, running a safe-strapped Rom (Galaxy s4, VZW). I'd like to upgrade to KK.
Is the latest firmware available OTA still NC5?
What method will I need to upgrade, OTA or flash stock? Since I'm rooted, is an OTA even an option? I do have SuperSU pro's survival mode (I heard that worked for a couple people). I'm guessing otherwise I'd have to Towel root.
Finally, I assume I should delete the custom ROM slot and factory wipe my stock slot before updating. Will doing a reset affect safe strap, or will it leave it alone?
Thanks!

Thank you for the link, and everything else you've done around here, Bob. I read around a little but I couldn't figure this out: do I have to use Surge's method to upgrade or can I take an alternative route (in guessing Odin) , now that towel root exists?
I'm hesitant only bc I tried to use his downgrade /upgrade methods on a different phone and had some problems. Thanks.

You can't use ROM slots with 3.72 safestrap. ROM must be installed to stock slot. Take and research this info.

I would recommend Odin full wipe tar. This gets your phone 100% stock. It's safe, simple and proven to work.
Watch the videos they help a lot.
I haven't done it the other way!
