Warranty...

Im sending my note 2 back for warranty, ive unrooted it, updated to latest level and it says official in download mode. The only problem is that it still has 1 by custom binary download

Make sure to have a stock kernel too

Make sure you use triangle away as well

So should I worry about custom binary download? Cant use triangle anymore since im unrooted.

1. Root with exynos abuse.
2. Install SU.
3. Run triangle away.
4. Use SU to unrooot.
5. Wipe data/factory reset with stock recovery.

Cant update.

Hey guys, im having a bit of an issue. I cant check for software updates because my device has been modified. Is there a fix for this, even after I Flashed the stock tar file, it still gives me this message :/ I have only flashed one ROM on this device, but since I forgot to make a back-up I resort to using Odin when I want to get back to stock. Now I read on another thread that root could be a cause, so I figured, complete restore with with Odin would help, but instead I get the same message.

You need to use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.
This thread will show you how to.

There's no update right now anyway from T-Mobile that I'm aware of.

So I need to root again?

Yea, you need root to use Triangle Away. After you reset the counter, just flash back to stock.

Triangle away

My counter keeps saying 2 no matter what I try I followed the instructions. Help?

Post what ROM you're on.
Triangle Away says it's always best to do it on a stock ROM.

Had the same problem, but there is a guide in the general section on how to unroot..... by DJ intrique (hope I spelled right). I followed that and worked beautifully.

Backup your current ROM.
Flash back to stock ROM and stock kernel. Even the debloated stock ROMs you find in the dev section should work,
Run triangle away.
Verify it worked.
Restore your backed up ROM.
Should take 10 minutes for this whole process, not counting the time to download the stock ROM.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

So after all that can I go back to my custom rom doing a re store?

Yup.
The counter only goes up when you flash something through Odin. If you reset it to 0 and flash 500 things from Recovery, the flash counter still stays at 0.

So if I wanted to Un root and return to stock how would I do that without tripping the flash counter don't I have to Odin?

You need the stock kernel & stock recovery I believe. CF Auto Root gives you just that and makes the process very simple.

but ，can we falsh official ROM and OTA again ？ I think we can't .
my some friend flash official ROM back to LJ1 after they OTA update to mk4 ，they can't do OTA again ，some of them do it and the device was bricked .
the bricked device came only into ODIN mode , ever can't into recovery mode .
finally they unbricked the device and not dare to OTA again .
i think ,it's because of the KNBOX .
you. can take a try ...

You can go back I did plus get rid of knox bootloader. I was stuck and everytime I tried the knox bootloader was saying unsupported and wouldn't allow me to downgrade. So what I did was flash twrp in odin and then downloaded a stock mc rom with count reset and stock bootloader rooted or non there was two versions and it put me back bone stock with no knox anything. That's the only way I know that worked for me I tried allot of different ways that didnt work. With knox it block everything.

I appreciate all the replies! One more question, im also rooted and I've removed all the knox software but besides that im completely stock. Will that make a difference?

If your on knox bootloader it won't let you downgrade with odin . Go to download mode and see if you see knox stuff at the top of you do try downgrading my way.

In download mode it says system status: custom kxox warranty void: 0

Download lorjay rom it has the older bootloader and not that knox crap he took it out plus he got wifi tether hack working and there's gonna be a update with note 3 stuff soon man can't wait runs like butter already

Ok let me make sure I'm understanding this. If I want to go back to mc2 I can use the back to stock with counter reset mc2 zip right? And if I'm correct flashing the custom recovery to do so will set off Knox correct? But once the zip flashes I'll be back on mc2 bootloader without Knox I'm assuming. Now let's say I decide to update again, will the 4.3 Knox bootloader show 0 or be marked as 1 like it's tampered?

Re upgrading to the 4.3 upgrade will cause the knox status in download mode to reappear and yes it will still be tripped. But you could revert to MC2 and then use lorjay589s thread to upgrade to the new 4.3 with the MC2 bootloader so everything will appear untampered

Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Okay.. I had upgraded to the 4.3 Deodexed and Rooted KNOX removed ROM by lorjay589. Great rom, but I was missing some of the things that I use (Wallet, NFC, "That Bump Thing", etc...)
I wanted to resort to MC2 Stock and reset the counter and then take the OTA, and just deal with it from that point.
When I did the normal boot into recovery, wipe completely, and then flash the MC2 Stock with Counter Reset ROM (As I have done multiple times in the past), along with the root.zip to maintain root temporarily to restore my app data, I ended up stuck on the "U Were Scared we're almost done) for ever. I waited and waited and waited. The options in TWRP were available and the log shows "Updating partition details" and it never moved.
I decided (after 30 minutes) to pull the battery (Yea, I know, not smart), and attempt the clean/flash again.
Now, I'm sitting with no OS and each time I reboot the phone into recovery, I go right back to the "U Were Scared" TWRP screen, and my SD Card is not available any longer.
Any help would be awesome! Thanks

had the same issue. just hit install and reflash mc2.

T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 Odin Root Problems

It goes on the T-Mobile 4G LTE Screen, but stays there the whole time.
I don't have any recovery option, only download mode works.

How do i flash it? My only choices are Odin and download mode.

You may need to do a factory reset. Then Odin. If no custom rom, factory reset will put u back to stock.

Does Odin have a option to do a full wipe/factory reset?
That may be the only option.
He must have used the wrong root script, like AT&T or Sprint root.

Currently downloading a Stock Rom that's works with Odin, not from sammobile.com because it didn't load up the website.
Hope this will work, if not i don't know what I'll do.

Well i didn't downloaded the Stock Rom, because i thought this one would've work (UVUAMDL Official TAR)
I did it with Odin and failed right away. I don't think this can be fixed. So i quit,unless someone has a ''Way'', but
i doubt it.

You need either 4.3 or 4.4.2, MDL is 4.2.2, it'll never flash, so flash 4.3 or 4.4.2, you can only flash 4.3 if you had that firmware before you attempted to root, if you had the latest update you need 4.4.2!!

How did you manage to get it to 4.2? As far as I know downgrading from official 4.4 firmware WILL brick your phone. There's no way around it. I'm very curious to know how you did it! Thanks in advance!

When I was in 4.4.2 I wanted to root it (of course) but I used the wrong baseband version/file so it messed up. Then it gave me like some type of warning saying (SEANDROID EFORCING) Warranty Bit: Kernel
I told my bro to fox it and he did, idk how he did it but he did. I search up on youtube SEANDROID EFORCING and I guess thats how he managed to save my phone.

That's what happens when you flash a 4.2.2 ROM which you can still do.. that SEANDROID message doesn't prevent anything so there is nothing to bypass.. If you're ok with 4.2.2 then I guess you're good but personally I would prefer to be at least on 4.3.. All you have to do is follow my previous directions
