You could flash a tot, delete/uninstall SU, or use any of the AIO's. Flashing the tot is the only sure fire way to get the 'out of the box' freshness.

why do you need to un-root it for your upgrade? They do not actually take your old phone nor do they really care. Your contacts are either backed up through VZW's website, google, or other.
Just back up your phone and go in and upgrade. You do not ever actually need to present your old phone. They only need your phone number.

You needn't unroot your Razr if you have problems only with SMSs.
surely there must be an easier way. I just want to revert back to stock entirely

If you want to go back to stock you can flash full sbf file from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/smi/list.php you will need to check the software carefully and make sure you use correct version jb or ICS then use RSD to fash the stock software there's plenty of info on the general section under the stickies tab

Remember to install, if you had a Retail ROM, install a Retail ROM. I think you can't switch between Carried ROMs.
And don't even think about downgrade.

downloading it now. I tried to check ota on NB4 but I keep getting software update interrupted. Hopefully I won't have to keep on relying on others to post the update files in the future. Thanks for the help, wish you would have responded to my first thread on this issue a month ago, but it looks like those update files were recently uploaded.

with kitkat that is because of the kingo root even if you unrooted do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51203967&postcount=1 or if you are near an att service center you can take it to them and they will flash kitkat for you also bestbuy can too

Best Buy (Samsung) doesn't have the KitKat files yet. I went to my local BB store and they told me that didn't have the official file yet. Also, AT&T will not flash your phone either. I tried that one, too.
Has to be a att service center and both can re flash NB4 for you if you flashed the kk leak you need to do the mj5 restore first then go see them

My best buy Samsung store must be behind times. The guy there couldn't do it. It appears they use kies. And our phone can't be initialized with kies anymore.

Okay you need a new sim card from att. Get one put it in your phone and factory reset it should work after that. The lgtool seems to mess up the sim card when restoring to factory. That should fix you up it did for me and 3 other lg phones ive owned.

I have confirmed that you can use ODIN with the stock files here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att.../g925aatt1aoe2-uptate-odin-tar-files-t3119235 to restore back to factory. I did this before I had to send my device back for Warranty Replacement due to a faulty front camera.

So I can just go thru the boot options to factory reset? I'm glad that I will keep root.
Thank you!
I found that you can use kingroot to root the factory test firmware for the SM-S903VL
This is the only root method I know and I belive it is the first for the SM-S903VL
The factory firmware has drawbacks, no text calling or downloads or play store.
If anyone can find a way to make this better and actually be able to use the play store phone and texting let us know.
MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU DO THIS

Definitely works. Root verified. I'm going to stay here and mess around for awhile and see what I can get away with. I'm far from any kind of expert but this seems like a good sign.

I played with it for awhile, seems the bootloader is locked so that explains not being able to flash a custom recovery. I can't wait till development takes off.

I flashed a custom recovery used from one of the other S5 phones but it kept booting into a page that said take it to a Verizon employee. I assume that's because of the bootloader being locked. I installed Flashify with an apk and used that to flash.

I used Flashify to flash a custom recovery image, TWRP. It worked but the device wouldn't boot into the recovery image or even back into the operating system anymore. It went straight to a page telling me to take my phone to Verizon store so Verizon could fix my phone. I tripped something.
I just opened Odin and reflashed 4.4.2 and kept messing around, that fixed my phone.
Sorry, didn't mean to get your hopes up.

I was able to get the home screen and notifications but there is this black transparent thing with yellow text that is getting in the way of everything, you can see it in the screenshots.
