So I decided to go back to stock hoping to get OTAs. I was on stock rooted and used ODIN to flash stock unrooted as per the directions in the sticky thread in Android Development. I restarted the phone and superuser is still there. Did I fail to unroot? Also, will this affect my ability to get OTA if it is unrooted?

You could uninstall the .apk itself / or delete with root explorer

You did something wrong, or somehow restored it, or maybe you flashed Root66 or an already rooted image by accident, because if you restored to completely stock, unrooted image through Odin, it basically overwrites the entire /system partition (operating system), there should be no apps or anything left that was custom installed. Before you did this though, you should have gone into recovery and wiped cache and data (make sure you backup all your data because wiping data will delete all your data on the phone and all your market apps too, except for your external/internal sdcard data). Anyway, flashing through Odin completely wipes your /system partition, so it would be impossible to have anything lingering from before. What this means is that you either installed the wrong image through Odin and it's still rooted, or you didn't wipe data before flashing and Superuser must have been installed as a user app then. Do a factory wipe (after backing up data you want to keep), then reflash stock rom again.
Why the hell would you ever accept a ota? A dev will base a ROM on whatever ota you feel you need if there is not one already, without shady Verizon crap. Your asking for trouble

I need the MF1 odin flashable package to revert my wifes phone back to stock MF1 and reroot but I can not find where to download the odin package. I have searched through the sticky threads and all I can find is older version prior to MF1. TIA for any help.

Yes, once it revert back to factory stock, you may received an OTA upgrade to 4.3, make sure don't take the upgrade if not the 4.3 will lock your boot loader and you will NOT able to flash custom rom or custom recovery (you probably knew this right?). Also if you already on the 4.3, you CAN NOT REVERT BACK TO MF1. You will soft brick your device.

Yes, I plan to update her phone to the new 4.3 ROM in the dev section but right now I can't do anything with the phone because when I am in TWRP recovery it keeps rebooting on me during Restore and when ever I try to wipe as soon as I swipe to wipe it reboots. That's why I am just going to odin back to stock, reroot and flash 4.3 in recovery.
BTW, Thank you for your help!

Did you try wipe: cache, dalvik cache, system and data? (wipe all 4 at the same time) then reflash the firmware with twrp. BTW what version is your TWRP? It may help to take a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2553199

Yes, as soon as it says wiping data without wiping data/media it reboots, i'm on latest TWRP version 2.6.3.1.
My phone on that recovery kept on crashing when it had to wipe data. Not sure why, but i had to odin flash cwm recovery. Im afraid to go back to twrp, in fear of the same issue. Any idea what to do?

I would just stick to CWM, they have a touch version.
Sent by me.
I'm on cwm now, but when twrp had to touch anything /data related, my phone would reboot to a bootloop, since it corrupt the data when it crashed.

Hi
I tried to dirty flash XtreStoLite 2.2 from 2.0, but I got a bootloop, so restored to 2.0.
But I got so many things on my phone that it takes an hour or two to set up, so is there any way to update without doing a factory reset every time an upgrade is available?
Thanks in advance
Via recovery try to backup rom. And later in the new rom try to restore only data
Flash this via odin.

Hi.
I wanna get back in pokemon go and my only viable option seems to be reflashing stock as unrooting don't work.
I'm running rooted stock mm with twrp and supersu and wanna reflash stock mm but without wiping my apps/data.
Can this be done? Do I use odin/flashfire/flashify/something else?
Plz help

Hi
You would have to use odin to reflash and you would loose twrp aswell as root if you go to sammobile.com and look for your device you can flash it clean
REMEBER TO BACKUP MEDIA EVERYTHING WILL GO
Ive read numerous guides now stating that flashing stock image via odin will not wipe anything. Is this true?
I'm gonna reflash same version of tw to try to clean out root issues with PoGo but i wanna keep user data...
Hey guys!
Story time!
So after my warranty ended (1 year) i rooted my J700F. And after 1 year of root.......i chose to go back to stock (i mean to remove any modifications i did like installing a custom recovery) But i dont want to lose my emails on my stock email app......and i really want to get software update back.
Any solutions and suggestion will be highly appreciated!
Normally Odin won't erase your data flashing a stock rom. But you could use SmartSwitch to backup your data first.
