This may be dumb question. If I successfully updated to mja and successfully rooted... how would I completely unroot and go back to 100% stock mja 100% factory?

I used this method last week and it worked great. I went up to the CF Root flash and didn't do it because I never lost root. That was due to having Super SU in survival mode.


I loaded Clockwork, checked all the features I heard others complain about and they all worked so i figured I was good to go.

But, starting this morning, my battery life went down the crapper. Also, it is running at a steady 104° F.
I charged the phone to full and went to lunch. Up used it a little to show a video. But went I looked again, I was down to 60.

Still fully stock. Any ideas?

In the last 46 minutes, Linda went from 100 to 84 % with the phone completely idle. I am beginning to feel like I'm back on my EVO.

I'm thinking you might have to do a full wipe and factory reset to tame that beast android OS is just eating ur battery for lunch

 

[DJDotkom]

best option

I have the OUDhs touch recovery on my phone (MJA 4.3), but my phone is not rooted. SuperSU is on my phone (unable to delete fully).

Would I still have to root my phone if I want to flash a rom? And if I need to, would it affect SuperSU?

So why on this release from Samsung is there now voiding of the warranty and prior versions you could go flash crazy. I mean there has to be a fix to remove the 0x1 error that people are plagued with.

 

[conflikt]

Anyone know if there will be a recovery flashed modem an If so when.?

Yeah, you are probably right. Might be a task for Sunday morning.
I did the HotSpot fix(which did not work-btw) and that cleaned out the caches and seemed to slow down the drain considerably.

They where having the same issues on the s3 with the Android OS running like crazy and that's what they had to do

There would be no voiding of warranty if we didn't root lol
