Triangle Away. Best invention ever.

Ive looked at that and it says it resets the flash counter. I'm not new to rooting just never used triangle away. .so how exactly would this hide my root and I'm assuming that I would have to get rid of superuser as well and also install stock recovery?

You are better off uninstalling root if you are having warranty done. If they are replacing the phone then I would Odin a fresh stock rom onto it and factory reset.

Stupid question but how exactly would one go about uninstalling root?

Thought about it and this is what I would do. I would make a backup of the phone. I would Odin the MDL tar located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258107. I would do a factory reset. That way you remove all doubt and any possibility of them figuring you out. Once you get the phone back you just install custom recovery and restore your backup.

On every device I've owned so far I wait for a method to fully unroot the device is out just in case.
That being said, is there a method to fully unroot and reset the flash counter (similar to the note 2) to 0 or for it not to show that a custom rom/recovery has been flashed?

Yes there are a few ways. You could install the complete stock tar which will wipe everything out including data. You could uninstall root using supersu and Odin the stock recovery. You could install team sextapes full stock with no data wipe to go back to stock without losing data. That is a few but there is more.

Hmm so after those methods it wouldn't show up as if I ever flashed anything in download mode?
I ask because in case anything happens to my device and I need to exchange it

Correct. Odin is the easiest option. And since you would be exchanging it the full stock tar with data wipe is perfect. Just make a backup first.

Once you root .... you will never go back! :laugh:
looking to see if there is a rooting method that still allows you to use the allshare dongle and keeps the phone stock so that i can take otas using vodoo root kepper. Had this on my s3 and loved it
I second this! The triangle away method does not work.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Actually the triangle away method does work. Must be user error.

Actually...... Your right, but still wrong. It resets the flash counter but makes the connection end still.
Resetting the flash counter is just another step or method to attempt to get all share cast to work (screen mirroring) while stock rooted.
Yea triangle away works fine

So you are asking this question about the S3 in a S4 forum?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
No.....I am wanting to have the same setup on my s4....free wifi hot spot, root that does not trip the flash counter, the ablilty to use the cast dongle (use this at work alot) , and being able to take ota updates using something like vodoo...I have seen th cf root but no one has addressed whether this kills the dongle or not.....

Pardon me but, where is the flash counter?
I'm ona custom rom/kernel and don't see it in download mode. All I see in download mode is that it says binary and something else is custom.

Hello, all
I am not new to (browsing) the forum, but I have a new account.
I have a question of unrooting the Sprint SGS4.
The phone has stock ROM, Kernel, and Recovery. The only thing that has been changed was rooting it.
Now, I want to unroot.
Can I unroot by doing a hard reset in recovery?
Or must I go the Odin way and flash stock unrooted ROM?
Thanks,
DEOXiDATiON
You must Odin , and that is all you have to do.

Alright, thanks!
Hey guys! So i just switched from a sprint note 3 to a verizon note 3. I NEED root but my company uses mobile iron. Is there a way to use it and keep root?
Also whats the best way to root this? All I want is root no custom recover.
haha good bc cystom recovery isn't possible atm on retail verizon note 3. seems like vroot is the only way to go right now without tripping knox but do ur research.

believe it or not I like the stock rom (this is the first phone I have ever been able to say that with)
So vroot... hmmm I shall look into it. But I still need to know about the mobile iron.
well I should have been more specific we can flash roms and some mods with safestrap (a sorta of custom bootloader workaroundl). but we do not have the ability to flash custom kernels.

Try Rootcloak to hide root from the app. Works for another MDM software similar to that.
Edit:
Use the one from xposed framework. In not sure if the one from the play store works.
Can you link me to it?

Ok so kingo did not work.. Vroot. Did the trick. I did a factory reset after that and now I'm rooted. I loaded the new framework and root cloak. I will let you all know of it works.

Looks like you may have tripped the Knox counter. Have you rooted or flashed anything?
Yea I kingo'ed it. What is the fix to reset Knox?
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
You will have to search for a method to reset the Knox counter if there is one for that device. This will include unrooting and reliving the bootloader
Your said you did nothing. Lol
I think i factory reset will unroot?
Or just flash your regions firmware with Odin. And you should be back to stock. By the way OTA Updates are not always best way to update

Remove your external sd, reboot and retry. In some cases it's caused by sdcard. Worth a try.
Noobs... :sly:

You need to flash a rom either using ODIN on the PC or a custom rom if you have a custom recovery.
There is no way to reset Knox at this point in time.
