I don't know if anyone else has noticed but the new bootloaders from JB 4.1.2, latest German and Arab Emirates, seems to show System Status as official in download mode when rooted. It is a MAJOR pain in the bum as I have the Allshare cast dongle and it won't work with this status.
Triangleaway will reset the flash count BUT the status stays the same. Even reflashing a stock ICS rom doesn't reset it until the 3rd or 4th time. This may be because of the exynos exploit I used to gain root access. I'm going to try going back to stock, Flashing CWM to gain root then reflashing stock recovery.
Thoughts?
UPDATE - I reflashed stock ICS and then rooted using Zedomix's CWM. I restored a previous backup and reflashed stock recovery. I then flashed Arab Emirates 4.1.2 using mobile ODIN.
No change in status or flash counter. I'm about to try flashing the latest German 4.1.2 to check but I believe that rooting using the exynos exploit may have been the problem with my changed status.
OK, after doing the same thing but with the German rom, I had the exact same result. Using the exynos exploit to gain root seems to be the problem for the newer official roms. If you wish to go to the latest 4.1.2 roms and not have the status changed or flash counter raised then DON'T root using the exynos exploit before upgrading.
I unrooted my device prior to updating. Mind you, I flashed the BRI rom prior to the german rom. My Allshare cast works fine, in fact mine has worked on ALL the roms in a rooted and non rooted state. So all I can sugest is unroot prior to upgrading.

Use the extra work around method in triangle away paid. It works
I bought a 'brand new Galaxy S4' which came with rooted. I have flashed the BTU firmware to the device but in Keis it says device not eligible for update.
How can I fix this?

You should be able to flash back to stock using odin then upgrade or flash the updated version with odin.

You have to unroot your device and flash the firmware with corresponding CSC to your country. On top of that you have to flash the firmware that was ALREADY officialy in your country (best way is to download package from sammobile.com) after that the OTA will work. I know because I also had problems with OTA after rooting the device.
I have reflashed the BTU UK firmware I9505XXUAMDM via ODIN and my device now shows as running official rom
Kies now says...
Your devices current firmware version is not supported to update via Kies.
What gives?
Hi,
Recovery mode mentions multi csc. Could this be the problem?

Hi,
Where did you buy a "Brand New S4" with root?
Not sure what you are trying to do.
You have root, so, just flash the latest stock ROM and you are up to date.
If you are trying to get back to "Official" stock, then, look HERE
Use Triangle Away to reset your counter, and you will be able to get Ota.

I bought the phone from Amazon as new.. This is my first Android phone and I only noticed the problem when I checked the apps and it had SuperSU istalled and Kies complained about not being supported for updates.
What I am trying to do is get the phone running as stock so it will update via Kies + OTA and also remove the yellow multi CSC writing from the boot recovery menu.
I have tried unrooting and flashing stock BTU firmware but then I still have the yellow writing in the boot recovery menu and cannot update via Kies.

Hi,
OK.
Did you use the link I gave you ?
You need to get Triangle Away from the market.

Ok.. here is what I have done so far..
Rooted the rom and ran triangle away to reset my counter to 1 . I have removed root and flashed stock BTU firmware then wiped data/cache from the recovery menu.
But I still have the multi csc message in stock recovery that will not budge and Kies reports the phone is not supported for updates.
Could this be because the boot loader is locked?

Hi,
The bootloader is not locked.
You should have reset the counter to "0"
Then, flashed the stock firmware without rebooting the phone.
Does the recovery says that it "applied BTU" ? If not then your region code is not proper and that's why OTA does not work. Unfortunately it is hard to change CSC right now as Samsung has blocked the keystrings for user packages, keystrings works only for engineer builds.
And about that flash counter, it does not matter if its 100 or 0. The OTA will work as long as the status in download mode is official for both variables, and in Settings > About device is official too.
As I work at Samsung's R&D I know that you have to flash the firmware which was RELEASED for your country with proper CSC, the CSC has to be set (you can check it in recovery mode) and then both variables in download mode have to "Official" and status in About device also has to be Official. Then the OTA will work (At least over-the-air, not through Kies). Best way to check the OTA is to flash first firmware released for your country and check the updates. Ive done it dozen times on various devices and it always worked. You cannot be rooted and need stock recovery. The only major problem might be changing CSC on your own, because as I said it is not easy right now as Samsung blocked *#272* keystring in user packages (released for the market). Flashing engineering build will make the all keystrings work, but I guess you won't find any of those odin flashables on the net.

It says applied BTU but multi CSC exists. How do I find the original CSC code out? SO its not possible to change this at all or at least get rid of that stupid message?
Is a green andriod bot with a red exclamation mark anything to be worried about?
OTA updates now work fine However they dont work via Kies. Is this normal?
FYI the flash counter was at 3 so somebody had obviously messed with this.
Sorry for all the questions. This is my first Android device having switched from Crapple
It is weird because the box was sealed and had the protectors on the phone.
Multi CSC means that the file that was flashed contains few regions code and that it can be changed inside the OS with keystring. So nothing to worry about as long as it is set to your country and OTA works. As for the icon, it is normal after entering recovery, my device also has that icon, it does not mean that there is some error. Kies does not always wants to cooperate I do not know why, but as long over-the-air works you're not missing anything apart from cable update.

Hi,
That is why I questioned the fact that you bought a phone , and it came "Out-of-the-box" with root.
This just does not happen.
Anyway,glad you got it sorted.
Hi guys! I hope someone could help me. I just bought a Galaxy Note 3 (international version) yesterday. The phone's fine. It's just that I am unable to update. I am able to download it but when my phone reboots it shows a dead android with a red triangle on its chest. I read flashing the firmware via odin can fix it but problem is our internet is hella slow. I couldn't even complete downloading my brother's Note 2 firmware. Any way I can make it install the firmware successfully? By the way it's OTA. I am able to download the update, just won't let me finish installing it. Goes around 35% then the android on the black screen dies with a red triangle on its chest.
EDIT:
I have official firmware, never rooted, just got it yesterday. Still factory new.
version 4.3, build # JSS15J.N9005ZHUBMI7, baseband version N9005XXUBMI5, Kernel version 3.4.0-1626679
Have you tried reseting your phone go into recovery mode factory reset

Was your phone brand new? And did you check your KNOX status? -- reason I ask, after you've rooted a phone you are unable to recieve OTA updates, unless you use Wanam to fake system status, then you can download the OTA update but it stalls on the install about 35% or so in..
Best advice, is grab the stock image from sammobile (ballache to download I know) then use ODIN to flash her back to original state.

i didn't root the phone when i got it. it's fresh and on official firmware. have no idea about KNOX, that's new to me. if it helps, my device status says "official"
unfortunately the internet in my area is very slow, i couldn't download firmwares from sammobile. i tried several times

Ah Ok, if it says Official it should be good to go. Seems like maybe the download has gotten corrupt due to an intermittent internet connection.

OK, then maybe you should learn a few things before trying to update - Knox is a security system in latest Samsung phones that is supposed to be triggered/set when you root (or install any custom kernel/recovery). Your initial (old) firmware could still let you root without triggering the Knox flag, and then you can update to the latest firmware for your region using Mobile Odin Pro and still keep your root AND without triggering the Knox flag. However once you update using Samsung OTA / Odin / Kies to a firmware more recent than MJ3 you can no longer root without also triggering your Knox warrany flag - read more about this in the Universal Root De La Vega thread!
i gave up after several tries, since i'm on 4.3 i think that would do for now. maybe it's just downloading a stability update or something? everytime i do an OTA update, it tells me that the download of the new firmware is complete then reboot. when i get to 32% the droid falls flat on its back and shows the red triangle on its chest, over and over. i don't lose my phone data or anything. just won't update. i'll wait for 4.4 Kitkat instead. hope i'll be able to update to that when it comes out.
EDIT: i tried going into recovery mode, wiping cache, and factory reset.. still no dice. maybe Odin's the only way i guess. problem is my internet connection lol

I rooted my phone two weeks ago with towelroot and disabled Knox with supersu.Note: my device status said official I'm still running stock firmware. Have to send my phone back for warranty problem so I unrooted with supersu and reset my phone. So now when I look at my device status it says custom (never flashed any roms or nothing) so I factory reset and notice unlock padlock and custom on my reboot startup screen. I also put phone in Odin mode the binary still said Samsung official but now the other say custom. And Knox says 0×0. I was told to use Odin so I installed odin3v3.09, drivers, stock firmware on the PC tried to flash it but got a Auth: Fail in the left lower box.
My replacement phone will be here today and will send the old back Monday to give me a couple more days to figure this out. What did I do wrong?
PLEASE HELP!
UPDATE
I just notice when I was using Odin I tried to flash G900AUCU1ANCE stock firmware. My phone says I'm running G900AUCU2AND3. I wonder if that's why I've been getting that auth: Fail
Where can I get the G900AUCU2AND3 stock firmware from?
Try going to the sammobile website (cant post link because I'm a new member). It should be there

Your warranty should be honoured because it still shows Knox 0x0. But it would be prudent to resolve the custom message as you are trying to do. It's showing custom because you disabled Knox. Flashing a full stock firmware should restore Knox and resolve the custom message.
Odin flashes can fail for many reasons e.g. trying to flash non-Odin versions of firmware, bad signatures, poor quality USB cables, wrong firmware version e.g. one meant for a different phone, et cetera.
Back up your files, then do a full system reset from the settings menu. Then put your phone into download mode and use Odin to flash a full stock firmware. Ideally use the latest firmware version for carrier that the phone originally came from (i.e. it should match the baseband). Google will find many firmware repositories e.g. sammobile, samsung-updates and this site.

Hello all, first post here so please be gentle, I've searched and been at this for the better part of the last 12 hours.
I have a US Cellular Note 3 and I plan on trading it in towards a new phone soon (hopefully tomorrow if I can get everything going.) I've never had a custom ROM, I rooted it with towelroot and have used supersu for superuser access and have been using it like that for the past year and a half. From what I understand in order for everything to go over smooth trading it in I need knox to be at 0x0, and for it to show stock official ROM and official device status. As of right now knox is at 0x0, it shows official ROM, but device status shows custom, also in device status in my settings it shows custom and it won't update. I deleted all of my root apps, did a full unroot with supersu, still says custom. I unmounted my SD card and wiped my partition cache, still says custom.
at this point here's what I'm attempting to do based on a few hours of digging, download and flash a stock ROM (Have Odin ready, phones plugged in, drivers installed, downloading what I hope is a good ROM) re root my phone with towelroot, reinstall supersu, run triangle away, full unroot with supersu again, factory reset.
I can't post my download link due to being a new user, I went to sammobile firmwares and punched in my model number and found a download link.
my device model number (SM-N900R4)
Also my baseband version is N900R4TYUCNAB and I'm running 4.4.2.
Now for my questions: Will flashing a stock ROM trip Knox? How do I know for sure if it's a good stock ROM? Is this the appropriate course of action? In hindsight I probably should have asked that question first.
I really hope somebody can help me out with this, I've rooted every phone I've ever had but I feel pretty over my head at the moment.
UPDATE:::: I'M AN IDIOT!
Updated to lollipop through kies fixed the issue. If google leads anybody here in the future just use kies to update.
In all my years of flashing stock Samsung ROMs, none of them have ever tripped the Knox counter.
