Returnig Into Official ROM wihtou unrooting

I'm sorry, but I am very unexperienced in this matters. I installed the CM9 Nightly 6 ROM, but as some apps don't seem to work (and I need them to) I was trying to return to official LG ROM. However, I do not need to unroot my phone. How can I do this?
May I just connect to LG update Tool and do so?
Or is it a better way?
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you

I'm sorry, but can you explain it a little further? I really have no idea of how to do it...
May I only use the LG update tool to do so?
Thank you

Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487105 and follow the root guide. You will be back on stock rooted.

I'm sorry again, but this was the procedure I made when I wanted to root my phone, so do you mean that if i do it again i will be back into firm rom?
And then will i be able to update it to the latest version available using lg update tool (this tool stoped working when i installed the custom rom)?
Thank you so much for the attention on this matter

Let me ask something else though. How do I get a Stock Rom to flash? because the link i found in this forum to the custom roms is .kdz so i do not know how to use it in smartflashtool. And also, how do I follow the root guide when the ROM I have is 4.0.4 and there is so such option in the root guide?
Thank you and excuse me

If u use one of those to root you will be back on stock. Even if you are on 4.0.4

I tried to follow that link but it doesn't seem to go to any page, it appears "No thread specified".
And when i'm rooting, should i use the same files i used before and flash superuser or not?

Use one of the rooting guides and do everything it says

Just to clarify, if i would exactly what it's said in the root procedure, i'll get back into an official rom from lg, that's right?
The last time i did this, it appeared in the system some apps in russian, but when updating through lg update tool, they'll be gone, right?
Thanks again

[ROM][4.4 Kit Kat] I9505GUEUBMKG [STOCK] Rooted

[ROM] 4.4 I9505GUEUBMKG [STOCK] Rooted for the Google Edition Galaxy S IV ONLY.
[ PLEASE DO NOT ASK OR PM ME ABOUT PORTING THIS OR FLASHING THIS TO ANY OTHER PHONE BUT THE I9505G ]
This is 100% stock I9505GUEUBMKG 4.4 Kit Kat. Nothing special here. We are currently experiencing a few bugs flashing this so in order for me to start building Kit Kat I would like to start from scratch and get good feedback. [ Please PM me any Logcats ] post bugs as reported in the this thread.
I am working on adding more features to this ROM like the Google Experience Launcher, and much more please be patient with this as well as any other project.
Thanks to : @SamuriHL for his Odin Firmware package and @occupational_hazard for testing and support.
[ As with any Custom ROM or Modification to your Phone I nor anyone on this forum or XDA is responsible if you brick your phone, lose your job, wife, ect.. or life as we know it ends.

INSTRUCTIONS
FIRMWARE
1. It is best to update your firmware before you flash this ROM. Due to the secure bootloader we cannot flash modems. Please see this THREAD to update your modem to MKG. You can also Odin to stock with SamuriHL 4.4 Odin firmware package which is HERE. This is the exact same thing, all I did was unpack his image and make it into a ROM to flash via Custom Recovery.
[ THIS IS BETA UNTIL I CAN CONFIRM CALLS AND MEDIA WORK AS WAS REPORTED THEY DID NOT. PLEASE DO A BACKUP FLASH AND REPORT BACK]
DOWNLOAD [ROM] HERE
1. Boot into TWRP ( Recommended )
2. Do a Nandroid Backup
3. Wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik
4. Install ROM
5. Reboot ( Update Root in Google Play )
If you experience any Bootloops please boot back into TWRP and Wipe Cache and Dalvik one more time then fix permissions then reboot.

This ROM is from the OTA that was pushed out and then it was put into an Odin package which I unpacked and created. I read ktoonsez thread and I don't think this is what he is looking for but feel free to pull it if you like.

Hey MJ, does this flash the modems, as well? I didn't know if that was possible in custom recovery and I didn't see it mentioned either way in the OP. Sorry if this is a stupid question.
UPDATE: I downloaded it and took a look. Just system and boot for the curious. Very neat!

We cannot flash modems in custom recovery due to the secure boot loader. This is unpacked MKG just in ROM for flashing ..system, boot.
BTW can you verify this works without any issues I got one bug report calls and media did not work which is strange because this is not modified

I can't get sound to work for the life of me after flashing this. I've tried re-flashing, wiping, and the usual. Everything else seems to work. Data, WiFi, GPS, BT, no FC's except for phone app... Everything seems to work except for outgoing/incoming sound so my phone doesn't work as a phone.
Any suggestions? //I can submit logs & screenshots if wanted.

Same here, but I have an I9505 (edited the updater-script and added a custom kernel).

How to check if on stock rom

I have a GTi9305 which is rooted (not done by me though). I would like to know if it is running a stock firmware version or not? How can I do this?
Thanks.

Go to Software update, if it is a stock rom it will check for updates...
If it won't let you then you have your answer.

@JJEgan and @winxuser, thanks for the confirmation.

Originally stick room mean orignal rom which comes with your new phone. To check if you have stock rom then go to setting> about device> status>device status
If you see there is official than you have stock rom but if you see normal or modified it may be stock rom but it proves that you took some manually modification with your device. .

I see people succeed in reverting back to stock through beta 4 but i can't. I have no idea why too but guess I have to stick with beta 4/5 for a while.

Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk

What else do you flash with ???

Let's say that 4.3 update has knox bootloader and not everyone wants to void their warranty by updating theirs.
Hmm.. It is also possible to flash only kernel by MobileOdin, I am curious whether it will boot then...

In fact some guys reported on this. And I am not able to flash stock kernel from mine ported boeffla either.
However I don't need stock kernel for anything, therefore it isn't the most important issue

Hmm agree. But it seems 4.3 is draining more battery than 4.1.2 IMO.

When I did it, I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and put CM+Gapps zip on the internal SD Card. Then I wiped the cache and just flashed the zips. No fuss.
If you google it, there are quite a few guides on it, that's how I found the information to help me, anyways.

But I Thought I Need To Flash The Boot.img Of CM Using Fastboot Before I Can Install ? Is That Step Optional Or A Must Do ?

Questions belong in the Q&A section!

Is it true that i get loss in camara quality with Cy mob?

Yes. For me this is the biggest fault in CM. The Stock camera is way!!!!!!! Better than all of its pendants from the market or Cm itself. And no FM Radio in CM.
