Hello. I have the I9505 model. I flashed an update with odin. After that i wanted to make my counter go to 0. I rooted with the chainfire and used the triangle away. All ok. Now how can i revert back to official status in order to get the updates OTA or via KIES without setting the counter at 1 again? I am new to this so be patient with me and don't get angry if what i ask is very easy... Thank you in advance...
Please post at the correct forum next time.
simply flash a stock firmware via odin

actually i found an answer in ur own question the only need to reset the counter is for taking it to a service center so u can use odin for the updates and stuff and then use chainfire's app for resetting the counter and don't forget to unroot if u need a service
Probably there is something I am missing. There is nothing wrong with my device. I just want to be on the safe side. U say that I just need to unroot. The only way I know of unrooting is by flashing through Odin which sets the counter trigger. So again there is a problem with warranty. Is there anything else u meant in your previous post? @Blackwolf10
If I understand correctly the whole procedure is a loop. Now I am rooted. If I want to be unrooted I flash through Odin. Then I use tr away to reset the counter so I need root again and I am again out of warranty.

Hm... I saw your link at highonandriod. Using superuser in settings there is the full unroot option. Does anynody know if this does what i am trying to do?Keep the counter at 0 and showing the device official status and able to use kies and OTA updates?

Root has nothing to do with the status, it is what you flash via Odin.
For example, if you flash CF-AutoRoot via Odin on a stock ROM and then flash a stock kernel, your devices official device WILL BE "OFFICIAL".
However, if you root your ROM and then flash CWMR, it won't matter if you unroot your phone, it will still be custom.
So to answer your question, NO it won't.
I hope I explained this well enough.
Yes u were more than helpfull. Thank you. Anyhow i unrooted it and flashed through kies the latest firm (MDM) and i am OK again. I wanted to be IN warranty because i was considering DOA for overheating but i saw that almost everyone except 1-2 exceptions has such temps. By installing 50 or so apps it reached 49-50 temps at cpu...

When a device is rooted, firmware is modified (customised) so the update is not available as Samsung considers it as another firmware.
If you want to get OTA updates back, you must unroot first. Flashing again the stock firmware without rooting it will allow you to have OTA again.
You can also use TriangleAway in order to reset your flash counter for warranty purposes.

No, after returning to official status, you can use whatever you want to update (KIES, OTA and Odin).
May I suggest you to use the pre-rooted roms made for i9505. They are identical to stock roms, are already rooted and keep the official status.

Triangle away is just for reset flash counter. If you're now on official status and the Samsung's OTA is available, there is no need to keep it.
Anyway, in order to work, TriangleAway (TA) needs root. So if you're unrooted, you cannot use it.
For the other roms like cyanogenmod, there is no need of TA. Their updater will update the rom regardless of flash counter or status, as it cannot be official anayway !

now it really worked but triangle away isnt working anymore and SU says when opening: there is no SU binary installed and SuperSU couldnt install it. this is a problem.

I didn't understand you...but if you're speakin about sending the phone to Samsung, I think flashing it before to stock ROM and to unroot it would be a nice thing !

today my phone gave the notification of a new update. it can download it but when trying to install it it gives an error that it cant install it ota and i have to use kies?
i better didnt root because it is a phone of my employer
As you received your OTA file, everything is back to normal. However, sometimes OTA may not work correctly. You should then update with KIES or use Odin to flash the correct version.

Thanks a ton for the reply so did the svc center void the warranty and does this mean we will have to wait till chainfire or someone can find a way to make triangle away work on the I9500.....I kinda feel sad for the exynos variant isnt there any way to root the device without losing the warranty..

Your counter will still be raised and the status will still show modified, if they see that they may void warranty as it is not in original condition.

Same as last leaked ))
good that its the same coz dev has already started on it
does it raise knox number
It has KNOX, so obviously it does if you don't play by their rules.
And as suspected; no Note3 features.
For me; no thanks.
Waiting for knox-free, note3 modded ROMs.
So leak is official

I wouldn't flash this ROM via ODIN. Some people reported installation failure and KNOX warranty void flags. Fix your Custom status with TriangleAway. Then you will be able to update over OTA, if it is already available for your provider. However, even so, I wouldn't recommend flashing this or updating. It has KNOX so you will not be able to go back if this is buggy, and you will not be able to root without loosing warranty.
Already some ppl has updated in india & reported as buttery smooth.
Can someone tell me if this update has emoji on keyboard?

Yes, it's me.
Well, I'm not sure about raising the counter since I didn't try it myself. Some people reported it. Too early to tell.
It would be logical to make it so that it doesn't raise the flag for the first time. On the other hand, Samsung isn't really logical lately.

Triangle Away should fix the status. You must reastart your phone any give it few minutes. It doesn't always work, but mostly yes. There are also few settings in Triangle Away. Allow tracker to run and System modified workaround. Experiment with those. And remember to leave your phone alone for few minutes before you check the status. There is a reason for that.
It certainly works for me. I'm rooted, and get OTAs.

Im always on stock so i dont have to reset with triangle away so my q is still : "So that means that we cant use ODIN anymore to upgrade our officially FWs? Im on stock 4.1.2 and i want to upgrade to 4.3 via ODIN and my knox counter will be 1 ? thats a cr**"
waiting for someone to confirm or deny.
Today I found out that there is a new update to my phone that is running stock 4.3 rom.
I have only rooted the phone but I can't update it with ota any more.
I only gets a message when I try to do a ota update. "Your device is customized. Update is not possible"
Is this because I have rooted the phone or is it because I have used clean up software that replace system apps with updated version?
How do I make ota working again without losing all my data? I have used triangle away but that was not enough. My device status is still custom. But my counter is now 0.

You can still update through kies.
First aff all i would like to tell you that you cannot ever update a rooted device from the OTA provided by the manufacturer.
So unroot your device and you can surely update after that.

Hello everyone
I am now on CyanogenMod and I'm kinda sick of this "clean Android" and would like to go back to Samsung's TouchWiz.
The problem is I tripped Knox to 0x1 when I moved to CyangoenMod.
Can I go back to Stock or the Knox won't allow?
What procedure do I need to do to go back to stock?

Yup Just flash the stock rom and you should be fine and about Knox , dont worry about it because your phone is already voided , nothing else you can do about it until someone figure it out to reset it..and about the triangle away you can use this once you rooted your phone so that your Binary will be reset.

So after I install the stock I don't need to use Triangle Away?

Hi,
forget OTA updates,
and use always Odin for the updates.
It's better and faster
Yeah I know about it but anyway, will I be able to get OTA updates? And do I need to use Triangle Away after stock installation?
