I am giving my S5 to my youngest kid who is too young for a rooted phone with a custom rom. I am on TWRP, FOL1 and latest Area 51 Lollipop ROM. What are the steps to take the phone all the way back to unrooted, stock recovery/image/kernel?

Factory reset, then flash official firmware with Odin

Sounds easy enough. So in odin, which checkbox do I tick? And this will automatically unroot and overwrite TWRP with stock recovery as well? Thanks.

basically, my phone won't boot up normally. instead I have to enter recovery and flash a rom.
On TeamCooper Omega romv2 and wondering what was quicket way to get to unrooted status so I can get it compared? I was thinking Cm7, to stock Gingerbread and then unroot?
reflash stock rom. to make sure, reset to factory setting.
reflash stock rom with odin
if thats what u mean
and i think its unroot.zip file in sticky guide in development section
If your motive for unrooting is to get your phone to service centre, you also should flash stock recovery -- also available somewhere in development section.
unroot.zip does not seem to work for me am i mising something?

Flashing the stock firmware will also remove any root access on your phone.

No, I meant flashing stock using ODIN. You don't need to have recovery or a custom rom, just access to download mode.
If you flash stock rom with odin, your mobile will be back to the state it was when you bought it... no root access and no custom recovery
Is it possible to get rid of Twrp? I want to go back to stock bootloader, to check if
I blew the knox.
Best way is to flash stock ROM. Or you can flash stock recovery - you can find how to do it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426988
thanks man

I belive that is excatly what you do just reverse what you did the first time rather than flashing TWRP over stock you flash stock over TWRP
is it possible to uninstall TWRP recovery and reinstall stock recovery, so i looks normal again..
And is there a way to reset the Knox void..
I havent installed any custom Roms..
I have only rooted and installed twrp recovery.
Now i want to totally reset to stock, so that i can sell my device.

Flash stock firmware (you can get it from sammobile) with odin to go back to stock recovery and unrooted but this won't reset knox count...i don't think there is a way to reset knox.

If you root or install custom recovery u could try to re install stock recovey and unroot might work but if u modified the software then likly not.
I recently purchased a note 9 on ebay and it arrived with a custom recovery (twrp) and rooted os I have since restored it back to the stock recovery and rom using odin. In the settings, it says the device is official and in a root check app it confirms that root is not installed but google pay says my device is altered or rooted and will not work. The Knox has been tripped and Samsung pay will not work.
Is there any way of getting google pay to work? I only used the preselected options in odin when I flashed the phone to the UK btu firmware it also worked first time.
I used BTU-N960FXXU3CSG3-20190726152110 firmware.
