Triangle away - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

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.

Did you make a backup of your stock rom? If so.. Restore it. If not, either Odin back to stock with one of the Odin packages in the development section, or find a tw rom you like and flash it.

No, those are otas which patch existing builds. If it says UVALH2-UVALJ4 then you have to be fully stock H2 to use it. If youre sendiing the phone back you want to Odin flash one of the official builds, not the root66 ones. Also triangle away first in case your counters been tripped.

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.

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.

You're completely right. I forgot that he said he was still rooted. Assumed he unrooted at this point.

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.

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
