[Q] clean rooted nandroid backup of Stock ATT?

I searched everywhere, but if its already been asked please kindly redirect me to that thread.
I bought a new ATT Note last week. As I am not a Noob, I did the root, CWM recovery and Sauram rom easily. But I made sure to choose the method which doesn't increase the flash counter.
Now I want to return the phone (for some reason), I mean cancel the contract. So I want to return to stock. Is there any way I can do that without increasing the flash counter?
I got it from Amazon wireless, So I don't know if they check it or not...
EDIT: I found a way to return to stock but I need rooted stock nandroid backup. Can anyone on ATT give me clean rooted stock nandroid backup please?

Download your firmware from sammobile.com. then flash it through Odin it should be fine.

Will this work?

Me and a few others in this forum need a stock tmo rom on 1.27.531.7. Would it work if i were to just edit one of the the "stock-rooted" roms on my pc and delete the superuser.apk, save, and then flash the rom? I was going to try it but just seemed to simple for someone else to not have suggested it, and with my luck something would go horribly wrong. Would i need to edit anything else or do you think it would work? Thanks..
I just swapped my One at the tmobile store today and backed up the stock Rom before root with TWRP. Not sure what baseband version though. When I get home I will check it out and post a link if it is what your looking for.

I just flashed a custom kernel with r/w and deleted the superuser apk and bin, then flashed back to stock kernel and everything is all good. Im sure others could use your back up though, it was really hard to find the "correct" stock rom for me.:good:

Question about Flashing

Hey Everyone,
I am brand new to Android and cannot thank these forums enough already on all the help I have had already in the one week I have been here. I hope one day I will be fluent enough to help out people as much as I have been helped.
My quick questions is, I am rooted and everything else is stock still. I have backed up on TWRP and Titanium. Let's say I want to try and flash a custom ROM. If i decide I want to go back to this untouched but rooted state, do I just have to run the backup from TWRP? Or is there a rom I have to flash to get back to the state I am in now?
Any help or clarification would be great. Thanks!

Correct. You would wipe the device and then restore your backup

Trying to restore S4

I recently screwed up a rom by not reading in the middle of the night. I accidentally flashed a T-Mobile rom . Anyways, I have everything up and running, but I'm having a problem with restoring. Really, it just can't find the file for it. I'm not exactly sure how to fix this either.

So you need a Stock Restore Image?

No, I'm trying to use a restore I made before messing up.
You need to do that from the recovery console with CWM or TWRP. I'm not sure what you mean by looking for a file. There is none if you made a nandroid backup. Just browse to that file and your set.

No, no. I already made the back up but whenever I try to restore it, it claims nothing is in the folder or even there. I've made three copies and can show you.
Sorry for double posting, but I really need to get this settled. I had some info on there that was important.

In that case I would do an Odin restore then root then install CWM/TWRP and restore your backup. I can send you info via PM on restoring via Odin with links if you need.

All S4 roms can be run on other s4s except octa core i9500 rooms. I9505 tmobile att and sprint roms will work if you flash a verizon s4 touch wiz kernel and a verizon modem.

1.What program did you use to make your backup? 2.Did you save it in internal memory or SD card, remember that if you wiped internal it may have wiped along with it, if its on your SD and your using twrp you have a few options.. You can hook your phone to your computer and search your SD card or find the file path by going through twrp. I have done this before, it's just simply a case of finding your backup...let me know if you still need help

This is exactly what is happening to me when I try and restore an old backup from my ext sd card. I know the backup is in there, but recovery is telling me there is nothing in the folder...???
