I used ODIN to flash the stock firmware, tried triangle away, but still says custom for device status. Anyone know what I can do? Thanks
If you use this tar in Odin it should set you back to full stock and reset your flash counter..

You are awesome. Xda was down for awhile so I had to get that file by googling it. But it worked. Thanks so much.
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.

I can't see my flash counter anymore. Is it because the bootloader is locked in MF9?
It really doesn't matter to me but I was just wondering

i seen a dev say that MF9 does NOT lock your bootloader
This is just not true.
I tried a MF9 rom on my att, worked ok.

Triangle Away isn't working on the MF9 update yet. I am sure it will get fixed in the next update.

Is there a way to know when the new Triangle Away is released? I have MF9 and want to root it, but concerned about the counter, should I need service?

This message brought to you in part by Sprint and the letters GS and the number 4
Yeah, triangle away isn't compatible at this time and very possibly won't be in the future. I was looking online fir the USB jigs, but none of them say Galaxy s4. I would think they would all be the same, but I don't know. Anyone with that info??

All I know is the MF9 firmware is a pain in my a$$ to get rid of once its installed.
Maybe that's why it's "MF"9? Mine was MF9 when I got it, so I don't know what the prior release was like.

Hello everyone and thanks for helping me out in my last post. OK so I wait and get my mja update, which by the way fixed all the bugs on the gs4. Now I am thinking I want to root but I can't find a guide online anywhere, a Lil help would be appreciated.

You haven't searched or read much. You can use CF auto root.

No I have done my research CF doesn't work with sprint gs4 Mja build

The only way to root MJA is to use CF and trip the Knox counter.

OK just a few more questions. So in the distant future will it be possible to turn knox back to 0x0 and unroot phone?

Maybe. But it doesn't matter. At this point in time, it has been confirmed that Sprint will not be denying service for devices with the Knox counter tripped.

Yep your right. Only thing I'm having trouble with now is where is my cwm to flash cyanogenmod.
I also have great news for all gs4 users who aren't rooted yet and running mja. I ran cf auto root on my pc with all anti-virus turned off and everything worked perfect, no SU or knox problems at. I was on sprint mja build.
Read up, make sure u have the right software and drivers and you should be fine.

From galaxys3man30:
Mr.kennyglass123 just got some confirmed info that sprint will repair/replace your phone with the knox counter set 0x1 so that's some positive news. I've have been able to successfully root and add a custom kernel to 4.3 without any issues and it's not as bad as it seems just people where making the mistake of trying to go back to a earlier update and with the new bootloader that just not possible right now. So, it's not that scary to do this update but I can understand where ur coming from thou buddy. I will be here to help you with it if you need me buddy I have successfully remove all of knox from the ota rom so far so it's that hard to get removed and such. Just trying to give some encouraging info buddy.

An important clarification, Sprint will do this! Samsung will NOT!!!! It is very important you understand the difference. If you are paying for Sprint TEP (Total Equipment Protection), Best Buy Protection, or even Square Trade Insurance then the Knox flag shouldn't be a problem. If you do not have any of the insurance packages and you are solely relying on the Samsung warranty for your phone than you should know that Samsung will reject any warranty claim if the Knox flag is tripped or they can tell that you rooted it. They will fix your phone for a fee.
I updated to kitkat today after I unrooted then I used odin v1.85 n the tar.md5 file for rooting the rooting went fine but everytime I try to kick in wifi or hot spot it says" your phones security has blocked an action..."???
Also my baseband is mk2 n my buildnumber is nae
Little more background info after updating I tried to put the nae hotspot mod into my framework n backed up my old ones by putting .bak n restarted the phone n the hotspot nor wifi worked so I removed the modded ones n put back the stock n tried that still didn't work n then unrooted n tried again n neither of the two work I can use any advice that is given Thanks

Just wondering if you thought about flashing the hotspot mod instead of pushing the files yourself.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
Yeah I did but at this point I just want to get my wifi working even without root cause it's not working currently n I'm unrooted n which number do we look at for the hotspot mod the build number or the other one
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
You need to start from scratch, you say you updated to Kit Kat after unrooting?? The reason why your phone isn't working properly is your update didn't complete properly. You have mismatches in your software version and baseband. Did you update with the OTA file or did you install one of the semi custom roms from the development section. Anyway, the wifi problem is probably a mismatch between your baseband and your kernel. Sense your software is NAE and your baseband is MK2 I don't know which hotspot you should use. Straighten out your install first and then you should have working wifi and hotspot.
Well how do I start from scratch to be honest I used the the supersu unroot tool cause mine was stock but rooted but then I hit the install icon in my notification window n it started installing the update n it succeeded n it says I'm on kit kat but software and basband version are on mk2 n my build number is nae ?

Then the update failed. You could try to Odin the NAE modem files but that might not fix you. If it was me, I would try to Odin the stock mk2 file and see if it completes. If it fails, then your bootloader was upgraded to NAE and you won't be able to go stock. If it completes, then you should be fully mk2 again and you can try the ota and hopefully it succeeds this time.if it succeeds everything should show NAE.

"We are do I bet the stock mk2"? I hope you're asking where do you get stock mk2 tar file. If so its in the development section by random45
