Wifi won't stay on for me. Will these steps get me back to 100% stock, no root?

Put phone in download mode (vol down + power)

Download ODIN 3.09:
http://odindownload.com/

Download CF-AutoRoot and root the phone here (instructions are in post 2):
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2294005

Install and run Triangle Away:

Reboot.

Turn phone off.

Boot into download mode again.

Go back to ODIN:

Download office 4.4.2 firmware from (search for m919, first file: M919UVUFNB4M919UVUFNB4):
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

Put that .tar file in the pda slot and run.

Profit?


Missing anything? I know running that .tar will update my bootloader but at this point I don't care.

As far as I know triangle away is not working for 4.3 or 4.4 yet.

Well crap.

If I update this way will I still encounter annoying phone is rooted messages? Ultimately main goal here is to have stock recovery, wifi working (turning on/off, won't stick) and non rooted stock 4.4.2.

Thanks for the quick response.

EDIT: According to Chainfire's thread seems that its been updated as well. :-/

Have you tried editing your build.prop? What kernel are you using. Ktoonzes works perfect but you have to edit 2 lines. It will most likely fix your WiFi

OK you are correct about triangle away. It now supports KitKat. You can go back to stock the way you stated above but keep in mind that it will only reset your binary counter. It will not reset your Knox security.
