I am not responsible over what you do to your device...If you choose to download and restore these system files it is your choice and yours alone...I have no responsibility if you brick your mega or it blows the roof off your house.
Enjoy being back on a normal stock rooted system without all the bootloader, root issues, and selinux garbage.
You are free to flash rom and mods once again without fear of bricking your Mega.
