[Q] Is it safe to unroot my Note II while TriangleAway tracker is running?

So I was reading around the web - particularly on Droid-Life that the Verizon Note II now has been updated to fix the Exynos-related bug. Now, I'm on the international LTE model - GT-N7105 - and sooner or later I will receive the update as well. Now, as stated in the article linked earlier , a rooted user tried downloading the update and failed. So there's the backstory.
Now, as for my question. I will obviously have to unroot (which I am looking to do anyways) but here's the thing. I rooted using the ExynosAbuse apk from Chainfire. That makes the status in Settings -> About device set to "Custom", thereby preventing me from receiving OTA updates. ExynosAbuse has an unroot button. When pressed, it tells you to reboot to complete the process and then to reboot around 10 minutes later since it might reset the status to "Normal". Well, it doesn't do that for me.
So I used another tool by Chainfire; TriangleAway to set my ODIN flash counter back to 0 (in case it was causing anything; didn't check.)
Now, I used TriangleAway get around the "Modified" thing. Experimented with the 'Allow tracker to run' feature and ended up getting my flash counter to be 0 and my system status to say normal.
When the update arrives, I will probably have to unroot. However, as previously stated, my system status will go Modified when I do. So here's the question (and TL;DR):
TL;DR: I am having TriangleAway set to allow the tracker to run in order to have my system status "Normal" and I want to unroot in order to receive the update that has started rolling out. However, disabling the tracker and unrooting will set my device status to "Custom". That will prevent me from receiving the update. What do I do?
Additional info: I have not flashed ANYTHING custom - I only rooted for a few Xposed tweaks.
Thanks for your time.

Flash stock rom and then update.

Sorry, I'm really a noob at this. Doing so will wipe my phone, right? Also, can I use Mobile Odin for this?

Yes and I see no reason why the phone would be wiped.
Why not flash that update yourself btw?

1. Download the correct firmware update from sammobile.com
2. Update your firmware thru Odin
And you will have a fresh firmware with Status Normal.

Okay, so to clear this up:
- Will flashing the latest firmware in Odin (or Heimdall, which I'll be using; OSX...) wipe my phone? Will it though the flash counter?
- Can it be done through Mobile Odin without keeping root? Will using Mobile Odin to update my firmware wipe my phone?
Thanks for your patience with me, guys.

You wanna send phone for warranty ?
If no then forget about counter and flash latest stock firmware.
And flashing stock rom via odin won't delete anything.

Awesome, one last thing, if I used ExynosAbuse to root (the exploit which this update patches), and I use Mobile Odin's "EverRoot" feature, do you think it will still work? Thanks

Yeah but mobile odin can't flash tar images. You gotta flash via pc odin.
Then can root via cf auto root.

Not done downloading the latest stock image from sammobile but it downloads as a zip. Is this a flashable zip or is it a zip containing the tar file? If it is flashable, I can just use mobile odin, right?
[edit] it was mentioned that Mobile Odin does not support .tar.md5 files. It says that it does in the description?

It contains *.tar.md5
It isn't flushable via mobile Odin.
Only pc Odin.
Make sure your version is dll7 or ubdll3

[Q] Exynos abuse rooted- Flash custom rom, mobile odin, triangle away, oficial stat

Can we Flash any custom roms easily using mobile or pc odin on rooted Note 2 N7100 (rooted with exynos abuse apk) and also have feature rich root to use things like nandroid backuo and restore keeping in mind rooting with exynose abuse app we don't have CWM. And if we have to send for warranty just flash stock rom and its all official and we don't even have to run triangle away etc as flashing stock ROM will take care of everything. ?

Cwm is custom recovery.
Custom rom is software made by people for our phone here at xda.
Use mobile odin to flash custom roms.
Use toolkit to make nandroids.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

So that means we cant install custom roms without cwm.? As I rooted my phone with exynosabuse app I dont have cwm. I was under the impression I can still flash custom roms like omega rom etc using mobile odin.?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Yeah that's what I said you can flash via mobile odin.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

So I can flash m omega rom for note 2 just with Phone rooted with exynosabuse app even though I don't have cwm. . And if I need to send for warranty just unroot from exynos abuse app and flash stock rom and run triangle away app if counter raises.?

<Q> about upgrading firmware on note2 n7100

I am currently running on XXDMC3 android 4.1.2 version on device and i want to upgrade it new the update available.........will i loose my root access after upgrading? Or custom recovery?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

If you mean stock update then yes
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

So what can be done so we do don't lose root?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Mobile Odin can be set to inject root while flashing - but ...
If you are pre 4.12 and need to fix the SDS problem then apparently Mobile Odin doesn't flash the boot which is needed.
So if you are pre 4.12 and need the protection from SDS, then just flash and re-root it with CF Autoroot (takes about 5 minutes)

Or look at my signature download that prerooted rom OR our beloved dr.ketans prerooted rom x)
Ive used his guide to make a prerooted rom. U will gain root access + warranty

Mobile Odin is an app created by Chainfire , it's in the Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&feature=search_result
It allows you to flash directly on your device without a PC. It flashes from the SD Card directly.
One of the features it includes is "Everroot". This injects root directly into any new firmware that you flash.

[Q] Galaxy s4 stuck

I flashed TWRP onto my phone and it went fine and I flashed a rom and it was all going good. But now it's stuck on a screen that says " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again." but when I try to use kies it can't find a device. I've tried flashing a custom recovery again and resetting my phone but I can't get any of that to work. Any tips?

That means you have a knox enabled bootloader and that bootloader is expecting a matching or newer firmware to be flashed.

What do I need to do to fix it? What firmware should I flash for the tmobile variant. and afterwards can I still root and flash a custom rom?

Try flashing 4.3 or 4.4 from sammobile:

Yes you can still root with cf autoroot. And you will be able to flash a custom ROM.

[how-to] flash modem/baseband from phone

I have the a way to install baseband if you are rooted, custom, or even on cyanogenmod like I was. When i tried to flash the NE6 baseband i could not get it to work for the life of me. I wanted to flash without PC. This is the little guide I came up with and will post links also so it it easier.
1. Download a Stock NF1 Custom rom. Also download Triangle Away, Rashr, Mobile Odin, Stock Kernel and recovery, and the Modem + NON-HLOS for NF1 Thanks @toastido @Chainfire @DsLNeXuS
2. Now flash stock NF1 rom via custom recovery
3. Once on NF1 firmware and NF1 stock kernel you must flash NF1 stock recovery. I did the via Rashr app
4. Now that you are fully (kernel, rom, recovery) stock rooted you can use triangle away to reset your flash counter
5. Boot back up and use mobile odin to flash NF1 baseband and viola! Updated baseband without having to connect to a computer.
IF THIS HELPED DON'T FORGET TO HIT THANKS.

Thnx, but really, I can wait till I'm around a PC. That's quite the process

Thanks man. No problem. I had to do this as I was on cyanogen and didn't have a PC on hamd

Great instructions but I just have one question regarding the modems. So which modem zip do I need to extract before flashing with Mobile Odin? The Modem only zip or the Modem NonHlos zip? And if so, in Mobile Odin, which one is Modem #1 and Modem #2?
