Root [Sprint] Need to Unroot for Service.

Follow this link.....

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769

Download and copy to sd card. Flash from TWRP. do NOT wipe dalvik and cache after flashing. Just reboot, the wipe whatever you want. This will put you back to stock. I use the MC2 version. You can try the MA7 as well.

Does it matter whether i use MC2 or MA7?

Let me get this right.

step 1: download MC2 of MA7 and place in my SD card
step 2: reboot into TWRP. Do I WIPE EVERYTHING?
step 3: flash either the MC2 or MA7 zip
step 4: reboot

at this point i should be back to stock rom with no root?

Thanks for your help

Thank you for your reply. Im also getting rid of my Note 2 so i really just want to completely remove root for the next person.

Then yes but I still would do a Nandroid and save it on your PC, just incase until to sell it, once sold and gone you can delete, better safe then sorry, you never know what happens. It never hurts to be safe

Doesn't really matter, but if you want to sell it updated then MC2, if not MA7 and they can update if they choose.

Im sorry but I have one more question. When im in TWRP, I go to Wipe, should I go into advance wipe and check off the type of wipes? If so which ones should I check? i know u said not Dalvik cache and cache but a factory reset includes them. Im on TWRP v2.6.0.1... thank you.

The options in advance wipe are.... dalvik cache, cache, system, data, internal storage, external storage, and USB-OTG

Bingo and also make sure if you have important stuff on your SD card that you transfer then delete, Cheers
