First of all let me say I'm sorry to even have to post this. I've looked and I'm sure this question has been posted a million times. But a lot of it just looks like Greek to me.
I recently bought a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 and found later that evening that it was rooted.
It's running Hyperdrive and the latest version. Also has a TeamWin screen.
I'd really like to unroot it and return it back to bone stock. But I haven't had any luck finding the firmware or instructions on how to do so that a new guy could totally understand.
If someone could give me a step by step and where I can find the stock firmware, I'd be forever grateful.
Thank you for reading this and I hope you all have a great day!

Alright, I have a question first.
Do you want to keep your data or apps?

Alright, just follow steps 1 and 2 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
I haven't used it myself but you should keep apps and data and be stock unrooted. If you have any issues or questions you can ask me or the OP of that thread.

A No-Wipe will still leave remains behind of software. If you want stock follow what I sent you.

I figured it would have removed the root access and the TWRP recovery and leave it in a mostly stock state.

I know your just having a good time with me, jaja but i just dont want to brick my phone or do something wrong.
Sorry to post this here, but I can't post in the Development forum yet. But I went to a custom rom a long time ago and backed up my original stock rom. Could I load that rom and do the upgrade to keep root? I know I'll loose TWRP and all that stuff, but as long as I have root access I'll be happy. Here's a screenshot of all the info on my stock backup. Thanks in advance for your help

Theres a post in the dev section about upgrading and keeping root
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
Yeah I was referring to that post. My question isn't how to do it, but if I do that with how my phone is set up, will it brick my phone?

If you really want to do this, trade with someone who already has a locked bootloader. Your planning on wasting a mdk phone that a lot of people would kill for.

Hello all. I flashed beans official 4.3 and I'm having some issues with philz. My question is, since I did not accept any OTA and just used beans 4.3, can I ODIN back to 4.1.2? I also used ODIN to flash the new radios ect.... Thanks in advance to everyone who are on these forums.
yeah u can, but u will lose root. it'll put back to 100% stock.
Thank you very much! I can just run casual and re-root at that point correct? Again I truly appreciate the help.

I can return stock rom, it's not problem for me, just my problem when i make root my phone some program not work normally. It's a my web application, i can see my phone information, where is it, how is the battery life etc.
So, its work for me about 2 week ago but now, not work. I've setup new rom after return stock rom again and make root than my programs not work anymore again. But when i make unroot program work again fine.
My program looks like log program.

My S4 got basically fried today by the charger, but I need to restore it to stock so that they can't claim BS when I take it in for warranty.
I tried search to no avail, what is the newest STOCK ODIN TAR image to restore the S4 like it came out of the box?
Thanks

There are plenty of places in this forum and in the Development forum with directions for returning to stock. Including the post that you just replied to.
Search, read, and learn.

The thread I linked has all of the information you need. Do the full wipe option and your phone will be sparkling clean and unrooted.
Not to be nasty, but there's at least four threads on page one of this forum that ask the same basic question.
