Hi ,
I want to root my Note 2 (GT-7100) to get rid of all the Samsung crap but I don't want to completely uninstall Touch Wiz. But after rooting I won't get any OTA updates from Samsung which I don't want to happen, If I reset the binary counter to 0 using triangle away would it take updates?
Please reply.

Hello guys, I am a newbie over here, so please do not hate for any misunderstanding on my part. I recently got a Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100, and rooted it a while back. Now, I did not find use for the root, so I unrooted it via SuperSu, which may be the root of the problem, I do not know. So, when I unrooted it, I tried to update my phone via the OTA update section on the device, where the 'Checking for software updates..' popup would not go, even after waiting for quite a while. When I downloaded a few root checker apps, they did not work as well. I am confused whether my device is rooted, or not. And if I want to completely bring it to the state where it was, when I brought it, what do I have to do?
Again, I do not understand how Android rooting works, fully, and it was quite stupid of me to root. Please help!
Thanks for you time, guys.
Your flash counter isn't at 0 I think or your system status isn't official.
To revert back to an official state use this guide by Dr.Ketan => check your counter if 0 and flash a Stock firmware should solve your issue.
If your counter isn't at 0 you'll need to install root permissions to be able to use Triangle Away.
I'm going to get t-mobile Note 3 on Black friday. I got a few question to ask.
1. What is the easiest way to root note 3 without device? Any problem with Samsung knox issue? Are there anyway way to avoid/not to do for not brikcing, or stuck in boot loop something like that.
2. Is there Adfree app I can install after rooting? I'm coming from Nexus 4 rooted, I can't stand with advertisement everywhere I go.
3. What is the best rom like Note 3 TW with little more features?
4. If I just rooted with my note 3 and installed Adfree, can I get update from Samsung or I have to unrooted it first?
Hi everyone,
I rooted my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 2 a few months back with ODIN I believe. I have had superuser access and can wirelessly tether, increase volume, remove camera click etc.... Love it, all this on Android 4.1. I never flashed any custom rom, just rooted.
Now 4.3 is being pushed to my phone, is it safe to install it? what happen if I do, do I lose root, brick the phone etc? Or, does everything stay the same but now I have 4.3 and not 4.1
As a backup I have a Sprint Note 3 not even opened just in case things go wrong. I know volume is low on Note 3 so in advance any hacks for note 3?
But for now, focus s on the OTA for Sprint Galaxy note 2 and any adverse side effects of accepting the OTA
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
1. It is not safe to install official OTA to your rooted 4.1(only by Kies).
2. You will lose root or you will stay in bootloop.
3. Usually we flash custom rom using twrp(cwm) or ODIN.
Thank you!
Hi,
I've pretty much used a S4 before this, recently got a free Tab 3.70 and it was so slow that i need to change the firmware and root it.
I'm wondering or it seems to be there is no Knox for the Galaxy Tab 3.7.0? (T210 variant). So it means my warranty won't be void right? But I've also read that the Triangle Away does not support the Tab 3, does this mean that if i root/load a custom rom and kernel, I won't be able to flash away the counter to get warranty still?
Finally, for S4, some important things to note were the CSC/PDA/Firmware of your device, but without a Phone dialer, how does one go about doing this and is it necessary to take these details down for the Tab in order to go back to its original state?
I have recently bought a Tab 3 8" and would also like to know will i be able to keep my warranty if i root it. I am currently at 4.2.2 and i'm not interested in flashing another ROM, just gaining root. Is there a completely reversable way to do this?
Same question for P5220 (Tab 3 10.1 Wifi+LTE)
Warranty will be void if your device is rooted, and yes there is a way you can get it back restored unrooted. Just go to your device size thread and find the right one. Hope this helps.

I just got my new S4 recently and I took the 4.4.4 update that was avaliable for it. I have been reading on here for hours about how if you root it/upload custom boot loader it'll trip knox.
Could someone answer me a few questions. I would really appreciate it!
Does knox matter if you don't have a warranty etc?
Is there a way to go ahead and root 4.4.4/NH7 without tripping knox or at all?
Also, is there custom boot loaders and all that for this update as well?
1) nope.. only if it still has Samsung warranty
2) not at the moment
3) no, they are not needed
Someone reset Knox on note 3 exynos.......
