The easiest way? I would download the GB28 Unrooted Stock NoData OneClick. It will be the same build but unrooted and "No Data" means it will preserve your app and settings 
Download SPH-D710VMUB_GB28_1014481_Stock_Nodata.tar.md5 from here: http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...B)/Stock ROMs/JB/GB28/Nodata Restore/Unrooted

This will return my phone back to stock right because I need to unvoid my warranty or restore my warranty

Yep it'll be the exact way it came out of the box.

For your convenience, I'll even copy and paste the easy instructions from the (Un)Root Guide
HOW TO RETURN PHONE TO STOCK:
In case you find it necessary to return your phone to a retail store or send it back to Virgin Mobile, this will turn your phone back into COMPLETE STOCK JELLYEAN (Build GB28).
1. Go to http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=190
2. You have two download options:
No Data Restore (RESETS user data)
Full Restore (KEEPS user data
3. After selecting your download, Double-click on the self-extractor file (.exe file), specify the directory to extract to (instructions assume C:\)
4. Start the Odin One-Click. This will be in the newly created Odin-OC folder and have the same name as the file you downloaded.
5. Place phone in download mode by pressing Volume Down + Power. Hold until confirmation screen appears. Confirm by pressing Volume +.
6. Connect USB cable to PC if not already connected. Odin should show Yellow COM port in second column. If you do not see a yellow COM port, you may need to run the ODIN One-Click as Administrator and/or unplug/plugin the USB cable after starting ODIN One-Click.
7. Start the Odin flash process by selecting START.
8. When complete, phone will automatically reboot
Status should change to green PASS!

so use the exe not the .tar?

The EXE would be the easiest way and most fool-proof way.

You could use the tar in odin, but much easier using the exe one click
