Has anyone used these files to flash? does it return the phone to factory or do you still get the "custom" with the lock unlocked icon at boot?
Thanks in advance.

I had rooted by the root de la vega method.
After following these directions, the phone has been completely returned to stock/factory. There is no longer an open lock at boot.
Here's a screenshot from the settings.

you can flash and you dont get unlock with the stock files
my status the first time after root de la vega showed custom with the unlock symbol
I reflashed both stock files yesterday and rooted with root de la vega again and now I'm rooted with official status and no unlock symbol and only have xposed installer and call recording, cant figure why but hey I will take that.
Thanks Droidstyle for all you do
With all the odin versions out, which is best for our note 3 when flashing back to stock?
I wish I knew, but I have a feeling No. It would be the same principal as using Chainfire's Triangle away to erase the flash counter on prior devices. Flashing back to stock does not erase it on its own, so I wouldn't expect it to in this case either. This is why I am buying a Dev Edition, Tired of worrying about that stuff.
dev edition? So are these limited? Also how different are they from retail? Btw, I read the glossary about fast charge. I didn't know how to search a thread about it or create one but some cable of mine do slow charging on my phone. How do I prevent my phone from detecting other 3rd party USB cables? Thanks

I am no novice to using Odin (used it on my S3 S4 and Note 3) but The instructions leave a couple questions unanswered for me. One is, So I load the PIT file AND the factory image file into Odin and flash at the same time? And is flashing the PIT file absolutely necessary when returning to stock? Thanks for putting this thread up though, very helpful.

I believe the guide states to load both files in Odin and hit start? The PIT file is normally only needed when recovering from a soft brick. However it does not hurt anything to use it even if you are returning to stock. Instead of further cluttering the thread to explain this, I left it out because its good practice to use the PIT file anyway to ensure the partitions are correctly mapped out. Glad this thread is helpful for you! If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask
With the de la Vega root leaving Knox 0x0 and this returning the status to Normal what is the other advantage to you getting a developer edition?
