Root [ROM][STOCK][NO-ROOT] Stock ROM without root

So as you can imagine, quite a few people root their phones without realizing what that truly means; or something goes wrong with their phone, and they have to take it to Metro to get it fixed. In either case, unrooting may be a good option. However, if you uninstall the SuperSU app, the su binary is still there, so now you are in a very bad spot. Well, assuming your bootloader is unlocked, you can use this zip to go back to OUT OF THE BOX STOCK, that means no root, no busybox, and no custom recovery. Don't worry, if your bootloader is unlocked, it will remain unlocked.

What does this do?
This ROM will do the following:
  • Remove all of your data and cache
  • Replace your system with the stock system
  • Unroot your device
  • Flash stock recovery
You have been warned.

Okay, don't ask why because I have no clue, but the theme and the boot animation are wrong. I have checked everything, and I cannot find the issue, unless maybe the MetroPCS boot animation got corrupted in the process of being packed into an image. Also, for whatever reason, the default theme will not apply. Not sure why, so breezy is defaulting instead. Idk.
