[Q] [HELP]Downgrade to 4.1.1 status modified

Hi, I am trying to downgrade from latest LL7 to 4.1.1 of my Country, but in the status always says modified, even rooting and using triangle away. There's no way to get rid of ''modified'' status. Is the new Bootloader that caused this? How can I resolv this? Somebody could help me?
Thanks!

Why you wanna downgrade ?

You need to do a factory reset after flashing the stock rom, then flash the rom again... for a total of twice, to completely get rid of the modified.

Hi Mate,
Flash stock rom once then root it will Chainfire auto root method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31801060&postcount=2).
then run the triangle away program to reset the counter.
Now the counter will be OK but now you will have modified status.
Flash the stock rom again and after completing the process boot the phone into stock recovery factory reset the phone and reset the cache too. then reboot the phone, you will have standard samsung wizard and your device status will be back to normal.
Hope that helps you.
Cheers, Sumit

Yes, flash it twice.

You're not gonna get the OTA because of this:
Custom Binary Download : NO
Current Binary : Samsung Official
System Status : Custom
You can do 2 things.
#1. If you are rooted open super su and do a complete unroot. Restart the phone and do a factory reset. You should now be 100% stock. The OTA will work now.
#2. ODIN the stock update http://www.hotfile.com/dl/189254052/2d06338/T889UVALL4_T889TMBALL4_TMB.zip.html

Thank you, but what I dont understand, I never root nor do modify anything major as much as I can remember, why it suddenly changed to modified status without me doing anything in the past hour. What exactly did I do that made the System Status to CUSTOM?
But I guess I will wait until there's a major update before doing a reset

I wish that's the case with my note, tried restart, battery pulls, wipe cache, still showing status as modified, except on safe mode, status back to normal, but still cannot update via OTA, always getting try again error. Tried updating vie KIES, still no luck, somehow KIES stop responding everytime it's finished downloading the new firmware.

Try a factory reset man

just flash the link I posted, it wont increase your counter and will give you the latest update without wiping data.

Thank Killa ...
But after few tries, finally able to update vie Kies, it was stop responding for few times, had to force kill the process.
Updated to UVALL4 successfully from Kies, but status still "Modified" ...
Thanks for the replies guys ...

Just open the zip file on your pc and check what files there are inside. Just replace those with the original apks and odexes and flash in recovery.

You'll need odin to flash stock firmwares. Mobile odin can flash it on your phone but requires root. Just dont do factory reset after flashing and you will keep data

I think there is a thread on xda where you can get a lite version as well if you want. Never used it so I don't know how to go about using the app though. Thing is, if you want to return it for servicing, you'll want to remove root as well as resetting counter, so I'd advise you to use normal odin and triangle away method.

I'll leave that for you to find out. As I said, I haven't used it before. From the screenshots, it looks quite self-explanatory.

Maybe the warning that he may brick his phone is a big turn off? I almost tried yesterday, but finally decided against it until I know better...

It should work but if you have the knox flag there will be no reset of it.

You seem to have not upgraded to the mj9 bootloader (one which has 'knox warranty void' message)... check your bootloader via zdevice test app.. if it is 'Dmg1' then you can reset it...
Hope I helped :thumbup:

I've got mj5 bootloader with knox warranty thing and I've reset a flash counter by triangle away.
Wysłane z mojego GT-N7100 przy użyciu Tapatalka

can confirm custom counter reset was succesfull on latest EU 4.3 firmware - XXUEMK9 (now have all as stock only knox warranty bit its on 1)

post in annex the triangleaway thread on xda
a file called triangle away. zip has been created on your sd .please attach it to a post in the triangleaway thread on xda, with details about your device. I try to install and hope you can not afford to have a solution for this type of device, I get the wait.

Yes it works on 4.3...
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

yes it is compatible and it will reset your counter but knox counters will still and status will be modified

whats the point of using triangle on 4.3 knox enabled firmwares ? if the knox counter goes to 01 bye bye warranty ! you can reset the binary counter to 0 but whats the point doing so!

Could someone confirm that i can reset the counter to 0 on a 4.3 (MK4) custom rom with MJ5 bootloader without changing the knox flag to 1 ( it is set to 0 now, of course )?
And also, after using triangle away ( if possible ) my status will become official if i'm using a stock kernel?

You need to be on STOCK kernel in order to Reset counter on 4.3 I flashed stock and rooted and then reset.
I tryed with custom rom like DN3 and its not working.

I tryed with Triangle away and it said that flashcount was reset but a popup shows and says that if its not reset then you are not on
the stock recovery and stock kernel.
I rebooted and saw that it was not reset. Then i flashed stock rom again. Rooted it and tryed again. Then it was OK

Understood, so it works just like was before android 4.3 if both kernel and recovery aren't stock the counter gets stuck to 1 :good:
Thanks

Are you sure you need to be on stock recovery to reset counter?? From what I undersotood on 4.1.2 you could reset counter even with Phil's, but it would incerease if you flashed something or went to recovery, but it COULD reset it.

I dont know wich one is needed but Triangle Away says both of them so i flashed stock and count was reset to "0"

i dont understand why ppl are crazy abt the latest release and go flashing and later get stuck with knox sh..t ,now you are out of warranty as your count must have triggered due to flashing recovery
try to flash stock again and dont flash old rom now as this may harm your phone so flash the same rom again and see if you can get your phone on but before wipe cache and dalvik and try to boot up.
later root can be sorted out
