Hello All....I need to take in my sprint Note 2 for repair and my phone is currently rooted using Jelly Bomb. I've tried searching online and youtube for ways to unroot but their methods seems out of day..What is the latest way to unroot? Thank You
 
Make sure you back up what you need, As with most roms wipe data/factory reset prior to flashing!

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
 
Make sure you make a Nandroid, so you have it incase you want to restore once you re root, but simply wipe data and FR, no need to do Cache and Dalvik.

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
 
Just do a system and data.

Your SD card stuff transfer and then you can delete that after
