Root [Verizon] How to remove Clockwork...

Hey thanks for helping out btw.

I have a verizon s4, I attached a capture of the 'About Phone' menu, if that helps.

im not sure about this, sure kies takes you to stock, but odin restores recovery, modem and stuff stock phones should never need restored. so i highly doubt kies does anything except a factory reset

Think your misunderstanding me :)

What I mean is, as a comparison...

You can upgrade officially via kies, doing so does not wipe your phone, does not factory reset or anything else, it merely upgrades the firmware etc.

Now If the op wants to get rid of his chosen custom recovery and install stock recovery, he can do so by flashing a stock Rom via Odin, doing so will restore stock recovery and everything else done during an upgrade over kies, this will not delete any apps or any other data :)

i dont keep up with the verizon version, but I would take a look at this

youre going to have to odin back to stock, and you will lose all of your data. i think that is probably the right thing, but youll have to read through it and make sure

Thanks!!! I followed your link and was able to get a hold of a Verizon Stock Build. Used Odin, and clockwork was removed. Im taking this phone back for other issues so I really appreciate it.

Thanks everyone for your input as well!
