If you`re counter is reset to 0 with Triangle Away, and you flashed a stock rom, you have to do a data/factory reset in settings, backup and restore to reset the status to Normal. If you don`t do that it will say: Staus Modified.
For post 1 and 2, you guys aren't getting the update because the system status is set as Custom, you need to have it as Official to connect successfully to OTA server. To make it official, do these,
1- Use Triangle Away (the paid version in Play Store). This will reset your counter.
2- Now flash a stock ROM via Odin.
3- After flashing, go to recovery, and Wipe data/reset, Wipe cache and Wipe dalvik cache.
4- Use Triangle Away once again.
This should make both the status official and you'll be receiving OTA updates.

If I want to some root-based program, like DirectoryBind, and preserve my game data, installed apps, etc, would the steps be modified as:
1- Use Triangle Away (the paid version in Play Store). This will reset your counter.
2- Now flash a stock ROM via Odin. (or DO nothing if I only rooted the phone before, right?)
2.1 Go to recovery, do a backup
3- After flashing, go to recovery, and Wipe data/reset, Wipe cache and Wipe dalvik cache.
4- Use Triangle Away once again.
This should make both the status official and you'll be receiving OTA updates.
5. Go to recovery, do a restore.
is that correct?
If you ask me, you guys shouldn't worry too much about OTA updates. You can easily update your phone once an update comes out by downloading the rom from www.sammobile.com or other sites and flashing it. Samsung's OTA updates are too rare and too far distant from each other that they don't deserve all this headache. In fact, most updates leak out earlier than they are available through OTA. Just my two cents.

Rooted my Note 2 but decided to go back to stock rom. I ran Triangle away before I unrooted, message came up saying counter would stay at one.
So I unrooted, flashed, via odin, a stock Rom.......
Now when i go to software update I get a message...Your device has been modified software updates are not available..
So how can I solve this?
Thanks

My system status is Custom, I'm guessing that's why.
How do I get this back to default?
I already flashed with an official Rom - jroo3c.n7100xxalj1
Anyone help?
Ok folks, what I need to know is ....
how to get the device status and binary both back to Official?
Surely someone can help with that?

OK. I read it again & have already flashed a stock rom but my SYSTEM STATUS is still custom.
That's weird! I'll say you root again, use Triangle Away (Play Store version) to reset counter and then Flash stock rom back, then wipe cache.

Flash CF Auto root first. Use Triangle Away. Then do a full wipe.
Your initial post mentions your counter would be set at 1?
Why would Triangle Away say your counter would stay at 1?
It should be reset to zero in the end.
Go into download mode and check that
Custom Binary Download = No.
Otherwise you didn't use Triangle Away properly.
Once you're sure it's on No.
Flash via Odin your stock firmware.
Let it boot up, and if you go into download mode again,
Then it should read:
Custom Binary Download = No.
Current Binary = Samsung Official
System Status = Custom
Let it boot up, then go into recovery mode, and wipe data, and wipe cache.
Then after all the wipes, it should become normal again.
My suspicions are that you did not reset the counter properly.

Well I'm still no nearer solving this problem....
When I ran Triangle away the message came up about the counter still reading 1 after running it, no idea why I didn't write the program.
I have not my counter to 0.
I have done all this -
Once you're sure it's on No.
Flash via Odin your stock firmware.
Let it boot up, and if you go into download mode again,
Then it should read:
Custom Binary Download = No.
Current Binary = Samsung Official
System Status = Custom<<<<<<<<<I Want that to be back to default NOT Custom
Let it boot up, then go into recovery mode, and wipe data, and wipe cache.
Then after all the wipes, it should become normal again.
I did all that, must be 10 -15 times already
Why is this still System Status = Custom
All I want is for it to be back to how it was when I first boot the phone out of the box.
Tell us the steps you were taking when using TA.
You must be rooted to use TA.
Root your phone again and use TA again.

This....
Flash Stock ROM (Odin 3.07)
Root with Stock Recovery - CF auto Root from Chainfire (Odin 3.07)
Use Triangle Away
Let it reboot!
Shut down
Enter Recovery
Wipe Cache - Wipe Data/Factory reset - Wipe Cache - Wipe Data/Factory reset - Wipe Cache (I suppose that is one too many but it worked for me that way)
Reboot - you have to reboot. If you don´t the system status will be custom.
Didn't work for me
The only way to have Stock everything is if you flash back to a stock rom AFTER using triangle away. From what you've done, you're still rooted. That's what is causing it.
Do this.
If your counter is not reset to 0:
Gain root access by using the cwm + root,
Use triangle away and choose reset counter by tapping the very last option.
It will reboot. Then go to download mode and flash stock rom. It will reboot. Then go into stock recovery and clear data and cache, and reboot.
If your counter is already reset,
Flash the stock rom, let it reboot. Go into stock recovery and wipe data and cache, and reboot.
This way, you're unrooted and you're back on stock rom.

On Triangle Away, when you click on reset counter, the device will boot and you need to press the Volume UP button to reset counter. Are you sure you did that?

I did indeed - It is now set back to zero - This is the problem>>>System Status = Custom.
I need to send my phone back for repairs and obviously if my system shows it's been rooted it would be rejected.
So I ran Triangle away and it reset the counter to 0. then I used KIES to do a wipe and restore it back to factory settings. Afterwards I did a data wipe and cache wipe in recovery mode just to be sure. However ODIN mode still shows the system status as custom.
how can I get that to revert back to Official? I thought KIES would automatically set that back to official since I am technically using the official samsung firmware no?

What does the device status say on your phone?
I'd try it again and follow all the steps again. Mine worked when I did it so it might a step out of order

I'm sure this must of been asked before but I couldnt see an answer in my quick google search. I'm away to give my Note 2 to my mum, I want to wipe all data and give her a clean install with bloatware removed. If I use the factory reset / wipe data option in CWM will I lose root access? Is there an alternate way to wipe data and keep root access / custom recovery?
I have factory reset/wipe data from CWM a lot of time......No u don't loose root access, but doing so u just reset ur current rom.....this is my experience.
Thats what I wanted to hear, thanks.

Flash stock rom via odin
Make ur phn in download mode

Use Philz Recovery... it gives u the option of fixing root before rebooting... for a clean install use odin... it is better to wipe everything and install the rom again... or at least factory reset from within the rom (it could cause some issues)...

No, If you factory reset you don't loose root, because factory reset only removes your personal data, apps, settings... but not system apps and root binaries.

First Do a Wipe data and Factory Reset and Wipe Cache then re flash stock ROM through Odin. Every thing will be stock then.

Greetings Krustykobb, There are few ways to do that. But I am not sure which way that you prefer.
Option A: Flash stock rom with odin.
Option B: Update ur device with Kies after you do a factory reset and wipe cache and internal storage ( this option will remove most of ur files and your recovery as well!)
Option C:You can try to download stock rom from the net and flash it with your custom recovery. This method will keep your recovery.
NOTE: Above progress will remove root permission.

I currently have TWRP recovery installed, will doing option b remove it? And do I wipe cache and internal storage before or after?
Yes option b will remove almost all, it happend to me when i wanna upgrade my device p5220 to 4.4.2 kitkat and it also happen on my Galaxy wonder i8150 while i revert back to stock rom. after you wipe your cache and internal storage. Then boot up normally and connect to kies. Kies most likely will popup upgrade your firmware window.

You can just tap on factory reset under your settings and it will to the rest of the job.Then you go to twrp to wipe internal storage. Then you will get a clean same rom, then you connect to kies and let it do the rest. after you done, boot it up again and you will see set up your device page.

I tried doing a factory reset in the current rom but the root wasn't removed
EDIT: I just noticed that TWRP has been removed and is back to factory recovery, however the device software status is still custom. Do I still try and update through Kies?
I would prefer to do that.
