Would flashing a stock rom on an unrooted phone trip knox? Thanks.
Don't think so. Could be wrong lol.
Just do a factory reset in recovery= brand new start

Hey guys, so I just got the Telus S2X, and ended up rooting and flashing it on impulse (like I usually do -- first I flashed the pre-rooted rom in the root thread, and then the Dewizzed rom), and was wondering if doing all of this (and flashing back to stock) will void my warranty via the flash counter.
If so, is there a way to reset it without that jig?
Thanks.
Edit: I just checked and the binary counter is at 0! Someone can go ahead and close this.

While I can appreciate the need for speedy answers when faced with a dilemma, you need to search 1st. This has been covered a lot already.
I am kinda new to flashing and I need to flash my phone back to stock rom w/out unrooting it.. i am having it flashed to Verizon Prepaid and need stock rom on it but i don't want to unroot it. Any help would be extremely greatfull.
Hello all,
Wanna ask about the flash counter as I want to claim warranty for my N7100.
I flashed my N7100 to old stock rom with Odin since I thought that firmware update cause some problem on my phone.
But revert back to old stock rom ain't fix the problem and I think I need to bring the device back to the retailer.
So my question is, when I flashed my N7100 back to old stock rom, does the flash counter activated?
Can I claim warranty as I already flashed my N7100 once with old official stock rom?
TQ.

The flashcounter is only activated if you flash custom software with PC Odin. Go in downloadmode and check the status. If the counter is raised, root your phone again, reset the counter with Triangle Away, flash the stock firmware with Odin and do a factory reset after that. Now the status should say normal and the binary counter should say 0.
Tq sir!
Already do that.
And a good news is I get a 1 to 1 exchange since the problem is from hardware faulty.
Thx for the reply.

I had a warrenty on my galaxy s4 and I rooted my phone, installed a custom ROM, installed root apps, and installed a custom kernal. I Need help on how to get my phone COMPLETELY back to stock everything so i can take it to tmobile....and reset the bianary/flash counter. Im only 14 and i really like experimenting on my phone but its time to stop sorry ima noob xD Thanks so much!
If your bootloader is after MDL (4.2), you can't completely restore to original stock as the Knox counter is permanent once tripped. Knox started in 4.3.
Otherwise just do a factory data reset, flash stock firmware with Odin to get back to stock, and you should be good.

I have SGH-T889 with SU (rooted) on 4.3. How would I completely remove the rooting? Just re-flash 4.3 via ODIN?
Yes, flash stock ROM with Odin and perform a factory reset from stock recovery before booting the stock ROM for the first time.
