The last thing I know is that Chainfire is trying to crack the N7100..

Well the kernel scources are out so it will not take that long anymore, also Mobile Odin Pro needs to be fixed as a flash from Mobile Odin seems to raise the binary counter atm, so be aware of that

Flashing what from mobile odin?
Flashing a stock rom doesn't increase the counter, flashing a custom part e.g. recovery will (and does on the s3 too)

Lenny as already posted, mobile odin pro raised my counter when flashing a pure stock unrooted rom (downloaded from sammobile) and that is the strange thing

strange it didn't raise mine, which is why Chainfire deemed it ready for release.

Triangle Away 2.0 reset my binary counter on my case

I have the ATT Note 2 and installed an international 7105 Rom... Need to reset my counter. Is there a way I can get triangle away to work without having to revert back to stock first? get triangle away to accurately detect my device ID or something?

How to unroot Note II?

Hello, I want to try and install Omega ROM 9.1 to my Note II (bought from Orange Slovakia). In 2 weeks I will send note II to service (bad cover) so I will need to unroot my device. Can you show me right way how to unroot? I need set counter to 0. Thank you very much.
See attachment please

If you are currently unrooted then its better to send it as soon as possible to service center. You can change the rom later as unrooting is a bit headache especially for people new to android rooting.

I'm a bit confuse here. Triangle away method doesn't work for me, i can't guet 0 to my counter. Stay on YES / 1.
There is any method beside buying the play version of Triangle away ? I want to get a full stock condition.

Try restoring stock recovery and kernel or stock rom altogether.

Already did the recovery stock and stock rom part. But how restoring my kernel ?
edit: Hooops, I did it wrong
After reading a post where the author has solved the same problem by making the whole process again, I tried again the triangle away part (with the v2.37 available here)... And It's working !
The first time I did not have the special boot screen, I don't know what I had done wrong, but I guess nothing had been done then. But everything is okay for me now !
But I'm still interested in this story of kernel ...

They will be able to see that you have a custom kernel. That means that you had the ability to flash kernel I.e. you rooted your phone.
From your pic it looks like you have stock kernel.

4.3 clean root on SGH-I317M on Build JSS15J.I317MVLUCMK5

Ok so this is what i did to root my Telus Device SGH-I317M on Build JSS15J.I317MVLUCMK5
I started with a factory reset from backup and reset dont think this is necessary but nice to do with a clean isntall
once that was done i turned off the device and booted into download mode volume down + home + power
opened ODIN 3.09 and added the CF-Auto-Root-t0ltecan-t0ltevl-sghi317m.tar.md5 to the AP section. then clicked start. once done the device restarts back to normal and the root is applied, but during that KNOX detects it and disables it from working.
plug device into computer and ran Kies 3 and ran a firmware upgrade and initialization. took about 20 minutes.
once phone started you will notice superSU is no longer on your system.
TEST FOR THIS PART... PROBABLY not necessary but i did this and this is what happened.
run KNOX and allow it to Install. once done it will ask you to add passwords and at the end it will say it is not compatible with this device or whatever. KNOX has now terminated its warrenty or what not and will not install.
i did not have an update for superSU on Google Play but i DID have the update on Aptoide. so i updated it and ran the program.
program told me it was no longer on the device saying the libraries or whatever were not there.
so i ran Odin and ran AP again and ran it once it was done phone started and no messages and superSU worked.
because now that you factory loaded from kies for some reason it knows you attempted it the first time that now knox will not work
not quite sure how that works or if its even relevant. but when you see in the download mode it says warrenty void 1 or whatever and the knox crap its all disabled now i am guessing because i got no problems or messages once i finished it all
so step by step.
STEP 1. put in download mode and run odin 3.09 load AP and make sure Auto reboot and F. reset time are the only ones with check marks and then click START.
STEP 2 Once device reboots you will get errors and knox blocking it. this is normal. (for me it was anyway) open Kies 3 and do firmware upgrade and initialization. depending on internet connection this could take some time. you may be able to Odin the firmware but i chose kies 3
STEP 3 Once system restore from Kies is done open KNOX and install it. should fail and say not available for this device. (happened on my device)
STEP 4 either run aptoide and download the update for superSU tho you dont see it, its still there. open that will tell you to re do the root process again.
STEP 5 run odin 3.09 load AP and make sure Auto reboot and F. Reset Time are the only ones with check marks and then click start.
STEP 6 once device has started download root checker from the google play store and test. should say success.
i did at first after i root checked it with success i rebooted the device and started it up then opened superSU asked me to download binaries i pressed back by accident and then it said knox detected would you like to try and disable knox. select yes. and then success
you are rooted and no more notifications.
THESE ARE THE STEPS THAT I DID TO ROOT MY DEVICE FOR THE SPECIFIC MODEL AND BUILD so results may differ from others. so far its worked on my SGH-I317M TELUS phone running virgin mobile sim
Hope everyone else has as much success as i did.

If you just want a custom rom all you really need to do is update the bootloader or already be on 4.3 official then just boot into download mode use Odin 1.85 to flash twrp recovery wipe your data and flash the rom you want. Or just update to official use chain fire auto root and just update supersu it will disable Knox.

Thanks but I am not that keen on getting the official rom. For one I hate using kies, it was a mess when i tried to update with my old s3, so I have not used it at all. Plus I have tons of stuff on my current phone that i would need to restore after things are done.
Also, i'd rather not having to deal with knox if i can, even though the phone is out of first yr warranty period. I have always used custom roms on my note 2 and s3 so i will leave at that for now.

The main reason to use a custom rom is to remove all carrier related stuff on your phone. It also let's you add different mods and features you want. For example you can use the note 3 roms. Pretty much turn your phone into a note 3.

[Q] blocking the OTA KNOX 4.3 update ( i.e. never ever want KNOX)

What are my options for blocking the OTA update?
I need to make sure I don't wake up one morning and find my phone updated with KNOX. I read that it can be automatically installed on stock roms, even without user consent. I have CWM recovery and rooted at ver.4.2.2 and have frozen the following apps using Ti Backup:
FWUpgrade 1.2.0
LocalFOTA v2
Software update
Is there anything else I should be doing to prevent this update?
Also would flashing one of the custom roms based on TouchWiz 4.3 flash the KNOX boot-loader?
Seriously if this post sale bait and switch boot-loader lock-down cannot be averted this will, in all likelihood, be my last Samsung device. I could understand if my employer wanted a KNOX supported device on his network and I consented to allowing this to happen to my phone for the privilege of using my phone for my job, but forcing KNOX on us after the sale is down right criminal.
Edit (2013-12-10): This thread further describes how to prevent KNOX:

Today at this hardware level there is just the s4 and nexus 5, but no external sd card slot make the nexus a total non-starter. So yes today I am a bit stuck with Sammy... but if they keep taking steps toward making their products like the iSandbox line, I would hope an enterprising company would produce a product that (re-) enpowered the user.
Rant:
It's not just the knox fisasco... having bluetooth tether yanked really pissed me off. Guess who has bluetooth tether on stock.... verizon ( but I really loath what they have done to all their devices bootloaders... so much so that I returned both my black friday verizon 32gb s4's for a pair of 16gb tmobile's ) Don't even talk about mobile hotspot... I get almost twice the battery life using bluetooth tether.

That is indeed my understanding. The only thing that's changed with the new bootloader is that when you flash a rom, it trips the Knox counter and invalidates your warranty. If you don't care about warranty, you can root it, install a custom recovery and keep flashing roms as before.
I myself am on stock 4.3 and have no intention to mod my device just yet. So you might want to get a few more opinions before you take the plunge.

There is also the issue of not being able to downgrade your modem as discussed here:

I've read that the new modem doesn't play nice with the old roms. As I understand the state of things currently once you upgrade one can't downgrade? ( not in any attempt to remove KNOX flag, but just to be able to use the pre 4.3 roms ).

The new modems are incompatible with the old MDL bootloader. Your should be fine if you are on the new MK2 bootloader .

I'm on Ota (kies) 4.3 with cwm custom recovery and rooted via cf-autoroot. Knox is part of the rom but isn't installed - you have to run the app and let it install.
So far no issues other than the allsharecast dongle not working. This is probably because triangle away doesn't work right in 4.3

[Q] Going from 4.4 KK CM11 to 4.3 unrooted

Alright so I want to trade my phone in, and the store doesn't check the Warranty Bit 1, only the Custom firmware/rooted flags. I wanted to TriangleAway the flags and restore stock 4.3 ROM.
Does anyone know where I could find stock 4.3 ROM's for Sprint S3? Would all of this work how I'm planning without worrying about bricking the phone I'm supposed to hand in?
I could care less about the Warranty Bit, everything else just needs be reverted and the phone unrooted.
Thanks.

Anyone?

2) Triangle away to be accepted to T-Mobile Uncarrier program
Triangle away wasn't needed for T-Mobile carrier switching. It only looks for a custom ROM and root. Since it was an offiicial ROM and unrooted, it had passed.
So, I had figured it out myself, mostly without google. No need to assume I hadn't attempted to find it first
