[Q] Need to unroot Samsung Galaxy S4 for warranty

Need to unroot Samsung Galaxy S4 Model SGH-I337M Bell Mobility for warranty purposes.
I am a newbie to rooting and a while back I followed the thread linked below and used CF-Auto-Root method to root my phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293800
Now I need to unroot it so I can send it in for warranty by May 5th, 1 year warranty will be up then.
I have done some looking online and think that I understand the unroot process is done by finding the stock Bell rom online then using ODIN to flash the phone. Basically the same way that the root was done using Chainfire's method only in reverse. I think using the method I did to root the phone it still has the stock recovery so is unrooting just that simple? Could someone please confirm if this is correct?
Is this all that needs to be done to unroot the phone?
Do I need to uninstall apps that require root?
Should I do a factory reset after?
Do I need to use triangle away after so that Samsung can't tell the phone had been rooted?
Thank you for any help offered, much appreciated.

K, thanks. Just to confirm I understand correctly, I need to do the process I described above using ODIN, then download rootchecker like you described when done to confirm that the phone was successfully reflashed. Sorry for needing to be spoon fed here, totally new to this.

Yes

You need to tell us more info. What firmware version on your device when you bricked? Can you still get into download mode? BTW, there is no way to unlock bootloder if you're on 4.3/4.4 firmware. You could unlock if using third party service for a fee of $50.00.

Please don't say F*c* you easy unlock when it was not the EZ unlock app, but you who hard bricked your phone. There was plenty of info around these forums warning about the bootloader being locked and the fact that use of the EZ unlock app would result in a brick. All you had to do to avoid this situation was do a little research ahead of time. Here is just one such thread where the information was readily available:

I have unlocked 2 of these manually. I sure hope your not thinking about using AAHK. but you don't only
need to s-off the device, in order to do that you would have to unlock bootloader first. Im not sure if root would
be required, but you could easily just flash supersu with cwm recovery or TWRP. And I wish you the best of luck with this,
and one note, I dont think that metropcs has sim cards, but I can't be sure as I use T-Mobile. Good luck!
~~~Never had any luck with Advanced Ace Hack Kit, had to s-off manually~~~
Hit the thanks button if i helped you! If you need the stuff to do it manually, PM me and I can give it to you.

Hi guys
i just received it.. i found some informations on How to root but i'd love to be sure before
Which one of the different methods is the best?
thank you so much !
P.S. will i really lose the " black gold " theme once i root??

OK i reply to myself
i followed this steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56004439&postcount=1
just be careful if you copy and paste FASTBOOT commands.. there is a mistake the right command is :
adb reboot-bootloader ( and not bootlader as reported.. for type mistake )
to receive your UNLOCK CODE u need your imei and serial number and input this info here:
http://en.club.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=unlock&action=pre
TO GET PRODUCT ID you must download Huawei product ID generator here:

:good:

After days of trying to root w/o unlocking boot loader that resulted to a failure cuz my device is not vulnerable. I decided to root it the old fashioned way. I'm new to rooting and didn't understand some of the instructions written on the guides. I was forced to look into every other guides on the net to make me understand. Some has Chinese some I don't know so when I got to finally root my HAM7 I was so happy. I may make a video of this and compile the files I used to make the rooting to help others who like me, doesn't want to ask around until something goes wrong.

Looking forward knowing this way..I tried everything too but still no luck rooting my international gold edition ..don't want to unlock bootloader either.
