Restore to Stock after Rooting and Unlocking Bootloader

[Tom2112]

I'm having a brain freeze or something, but I can't find the instructions to restore to stock after rooting and unlocking my bootloader. (via this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/note-4-verizon-bootloader-unlock-t3358913)

Can someone point me to the right instructions/files? I need to wipe this puppy and restore it to stock to turn it back in.

Thanks,
Tom

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will come along and chime in. But I believe all you have to do is ODIN the official firmware.

IIRC, when you flash the official firmware; the eFuse is reset, so you should be good to go and your carrier will be none the wiser.

I found the files here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...mware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937

Download the "full firmware" file. The top-most listed one in the original post is the most recent firmware. Follow these instructions:

Grab the PIT file here to set your partitions properly:

Note that during Step #6 of the above instruction, you will also add the PIT file in Odin by clicking the PIT button and pointing it to the PIT file you downloaded. (That will check the "Re-Partition" checkbox under options in Odin.

It will take a few minutes to flash the whole thing - it's flashing the whole phone. But when its done you're bootloader will be locked again and the stock recovery will be in place, as well as a fresh install of the stock v6.0.1 Android.

Thanks dude! I finally tracked down some of it and stumbled upon the same thread as you posted before I realized you had replied.
