Hello guys. Today first time rooted my note 2 and flash up ARHD. Everything looks okey except phone status? When im checking my status its shows me my phone is "modified".
What it means and is it normal after root?
Hi
Of course this is normal but you can back to "Normal" status if you prefer.
This is just for theoretical warranty.
Thanks for it. I I tried triagle away but its still shows me the same status. Well, if you know any good and safe way how to do it please let me know
If your recovery is custom, status will remain modified as well flash count also remain 1.
Which is your recovery and kernel stock /custom?

Hi Dr.Ketan
My counter is 0 despite custom rom & kernel thanks to Triangle Away app and 'Auto reset at boot' option.
Concerning the 'normal' I have a tutorial but in french only. You need XposedInstaller with XposedSysscopeBlaster module.
Yeah but very few kernel have this support.

Just do a factory reset while on stock and you'll get normal status back. Only required when you're in need of getting your warranty back. Of course you'll need to have used triangle away beforehand to get rid of the counters before you flash stock.

If your device Status is Modified.... Factory Reset will make it Official.Soooo Unless you need to return your phone, leave it alone.
Always make a stock rooted backup whenever you root and you can revert back to stock in minutes without factory reset
This took me 2 hours to figure without losing apps or data. So hit the thanks if it helped

if you use TA under root, doesn't it force an auto reboot? How do you get the SU to do full unroot then?
Yes, once you do TA it reboots in a recovery and warns you tge resets counter. Does not factory reset just restarts and clears counter.
Under supersu if you scroll down to the bottom of options ut wilk say full unroot.
Id show a screenshot but I unrooted already. If you see it can you post a screenshot.

easiest way. once you run the TA app, it'll reboot, once you press 'vol up' to clear and when it's done (screen goes blank), pull the battery, go to DOWNLOAD mode, it'll be 0.
Does this also work on the Rogers version? It is the SGH-I317M.
Yes

Make sure all rooted apps are uninstalled then go to settings. If it says modified like mine then there is still a rooted app installed. Your picture is correct, shows everything stock.

Well that picture is stock out-of-the-box. I just want to make sure i can obtain that back whenever it is needed.
Post your device status as well mine said modified. Yours should be normal. Good info thanks.
And yes those steps are what you will follow to put back in factory settings. The device status must also be unmodified. In my pic its modified.

One quick question. ..
Okay so if I DID make a stock rooted nandroid backup before I flashed custom rom and kernal and I wanted to just completely unroot and go back to stock everything, then all I would have to do is just flash back to the nandroid I made, then run triangle away, delete any root apps, then click unroot in SuperUser and I should be good to go if I have to take the phone in for warranty? And will it be in that exact order? Or should I just run triangle away then factory reset and flash official stock rom? Is that basically the same? Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks

Hello,
I just rooted and installed custom rom of my SGN2 (N7100), it raised the counter binary. I reset by using triangle away for several times but it failed.
Would you like please to advise me how to reset it?
Thanks in advance for all your kind advice.

Please take a look at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 for advice on how to ask for help.
Nobody can help you with the information you have given - which custom ROM? Which version of it? What kernel are you using? Which version of TriangleAway are you using? Describe accurately exactly what happens when you attempt to use triangle away - what do you expect to happen? What do you see?
If you can describe the problem in detail, people can help you.

Thanks for your information. i tried it and still faced same problem
Are you booting in recovery after resetting? Cause that will increase the counter again.
After resetting do not use triangle away again to check nor boot in recivery.
Just use download mode to see if it worked.

I didn't boot to recovery, just used download mode, but it didn't work. Thanks
So you used triangle away to reset, booted up and then switched off your phone, booted to download mode abd counter still showed 1?

Use stock kernel and stock recovery, otherwise you'll always get flash counter 1
As above said you need to use stock recovery and kernel to reset counter, otherwise you have to use play store version of triangle away with option to reset at every boot.

Hey guys. Need some help here. Ive googled a lot but still couldnt find a clear explanation
nor tutorial of what should I do, if I want to upgrade to comming 4.2.2 having my gtn7100
Note II rooted on stock rom.
Im a noob so be warned: in SuperSU theres an option that sais full unroot. As I understand
its not a proper unroot. True?
Triangle away, changes some counter to 0. What is that and is
this step crucial?
Could you guys make it clear for me and explain the steps of unrooting a stock ver.?
After the expected update gona root it back I guess.
Flashing stock rom with odin completely unroot.
Reset counter is related to warranty, if that doesn't matter for you then forget it.

Won't this leave SysScope screaming that your device is modified?
If counter is raised then status will remain modified.
To revert status normal you need
Reset counter
Flash stock rom
Wipe cache and data (optional if status is notmal)

It doesnt matter if he uses Triangle Away right now, he has TWRP on it. Until he is 100% stock + rooted it will always say modified.

I'm 100% stock+rooted and it says under status that my phone is custom. Even After using triangle away. If I want to get the OTA update I'm gonna have to ODIN flash a stock firmware.

In triangle away check the box for 'System Modified Workaround', After a reboot it disables root for a few minutes, it should say Official after that.
What kind of recovery do you have? Stock?

Flash stock recovery (I think there is an Odin file floating around) then use triangle away. Should reset you back. The bootloader is running a check on the recovery at boot. If it doesn't match a certain value (I think it checks the signature) then it trips the counter.

Might not even matter, but just in case, do triangle away before you flash to stock. That's the way I've been told to do it, and its safer I guess.

Whoops. I actually responded to this post, buy I guess I quoted it.
To be safe, I'd use triangle away right before you flash you stock ROM. That's the way I was told to do it, and worked without a hitch. Plus, it's way easier.

Quite possibly the easiest thing to find. Use Google or YouTube and type in "how to unroot TMobile S4."
All the instructions give you links to the official stock Roms.

Hello
Hopefully this is quite simple.
I have just unrooted my N7105. I was already running stock 4.1.1. and went into SuperSU and asked it to unroot. All went fine.
I ran Triangle Away before doing this. However it still says "Custom Binary Download: Yes (1 counts)". And my device still says modified.
Question is: Now I've unrooted, would I have to re-root to get rid of the modified status and custom binary download count?
If so once I've done this, how would I get rid of the modified status as Triangle Away didn't seem to work?
Also how do I get rid of TWRP and set it back to stock recovery?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Where you find counter 1? If on triangle away application then don't count it. Just reboot to download mode (Vol Down +Home +power) and check flash counter.

Thanks for the reply
I've now sorted the triangle away problem. But now it says the following in download mode:
Odin Mode
Product Name: GT-N7105
Custom Binary Download: No
Custom Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
How would I change the System status from custom? My device still says modified under settings as well so need this changing too.
Also when attempting to update OTA to 4.1.2, the "Checking for Updates" box keeps on rolling.
Thanks again!
Your flash counter is normal 0
