Hello (or goodnight )
Here I Root my GS4 and I installed a custom recovery (TWRP), all via ODIN. But I'm still remained Stock ROM.
Unfortunately I have to send my GS4 in after-sales service :S I decided to return the original.
First I think having my GS4 Root and you have installed a custom recovery via ODIN did increment the flash counter because it was two ... So I reset to 0 with Triangle Away program. I then install the same stock rom that I had in my GS4 before having root. The I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_XEF (I live in Belgium). Downloaded SamMobile I installed via ODIN.
==> So I lost the root and the custom recovery. But I was not in status OFFICIAL CUSTOM but when I go to "Settings - About phone - Status - Device Status". So I did a wipe data and cache with the original recovery. So I had to re set everything (wifi, google account, etc.). So I am finally OFFICIAL.
My question: Installing the stock rom I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_XEF was made via ODIN as the root of my phone and the custom recovery ... My flash counter is incremented by 1 he suddenly as he did for having root and install the recovery via ODIN? For now I'm not ROOT, so I do not know check my meter flash :S.
After sales service, it will pass? I have no trace of root? Because when I go to the root of my telephone, or was the file "etc., system, vendor, sys, etc ..." I see a "root" folder with nothing in it (I do not know to remove because it is a system folder and I do not have root privileges to edit these files to).
In advance thank you and good day

You have to root the phone again with CF Auto Root from here http://download.chainfire.eu/326/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-ja3g-ja3gxx-gti9500.zip, download Busybox from Play and install it, then use Triangle Away and after its done go straight to downloadmode (don`t reboot) and flash the stock rom again with Odin. After it boots do a data factory reset in settings/accounts/backup and restore and its full stock again and the counter says 0 again.
Good night and good luck

I've been reading the 4.3 release thread in the "general" forum, and the other relevant threads over there, and am confused after reading thru' 50+ pages of experiences...
I'm on the stock MF9 ROM, rooted, with hotspot mod installed, and camera shutter sound disabled in xml file), and TWRP custom recovery.
I'd like to get to MJA, rooted, with hotspot mod installed, and TWRP custom recovery. (if possible, I'd like to get there without tripping the KNOX counter, but if that is not possible, so be it)
From what I've read, it looks like I need to
Nandroid backup (optional)
Install stock MF9 tar file using ODIN (recovery, ROM, Modem, kernel) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485502
Take OTA (or use update file from google server link on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504349)
Reboot (Don't install any apps at this time)
Use CF Auto to root using ODIN - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41743640&postcount=3
Factory reset just in case
Install goo manager, and flash custom recovery TWRP
Reboot
Reinstall apps
Install new MJA odexed hotspot mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256950
Nandroid backup
Is this about right? (and are the links to the right files/posts?)
Is there an easier/safer way of doing this?
Is there any way to not trip the knox counter? Or does the flash of CF Auto to root always trip it?
Any other troubleshooting steps in case things go wrong?
Example:
If phone gets stuck in bootloop at any step - what steps should be attempted before pulling battery, and trying to reflash in ODIN?
If phone shows android lying down with red exclamation mark, what should be attempted?
If root doesn't stick after reboot, what should be attempted?
If custom recovery doesn't stick, what should be attempted?
Hopefully, this will help others like me as well.
Thanks!
looks good, sounds right...

Is this how it's supposed to be done?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509605
Okay, so I am getting ready to reflash back to stock , I have downloaded the deodexed and rooted MJ7 ( I also have the vanilla stock version as well ) rom - I also have the PIT file , Odin, Kingo, etc ( previously rooted with De La Vega ). The reason I am doing this is because I accidentally installed the Jelly Beans Rom over the stock partition in SS, and we all know about dirty flash...
I have some questions before I do this:
Do I need to unroot my device or uninstall safe strap or anything prior to re-flash?
There is a TWRP posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2518704
"If using Twrp or Cwm flash this kernel its needed for dev editions: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291676094"
Do I need this if I am installing the Rooted MJ7?
Is it safe to load the rooted MJ7 as stock, or should I load the stock, root, safe strap and install it in a different slot?
I should assume that I will loose EVERYTHING that I haven't already backed up, correct?
I have done a lot of research and digging , but there is a lot of noise, assumptions and lingo that can be hard to parse through here on XDA, is the process as follows?
Boot device into Odin mode
Load the ROM and TWRP file into ODIN and flash
Root using Kingo
Do this thing with SU.zip which I don't quite understand , I purchased the full version of SU so is this still necessary or can I just re-download SU and use that version?
Install SS
Boot into SS , create a ROM slot , activate it, install ROM.
Then go back through and re-set up and re download everything
Thanks for reading any advice, help , etc would be great!
*Edit - it was the PIT file not TWRP , strike through to maintain relevance. It also appears I can only flash the deodexed stock rom into a rom slot or flash over stock maybe.
Just for documentation purposes , hopefully it helps a noob or two.
I just used Odin and re loaded the stock MJ7 - Restart was fine, have Android is upgrading screen and it is Optimizing apps.
I did NOT get the Safe Strap boot screen, nor did I get the Jelly Beans ROM splash screen, *HOWEVER* all apps and customizations appeared to stay - no data loss ( your results may vary, back up anyway before trying this! )
Root Checker Basic results - Sorry! This device does not have proper root access.
Kingo - Root successful
Xprivacy notifications showing up in notification bar
Root Checker Basic results - Success
Installed SS 3.65 ( current version as of 11/13 ), installed recovery, rebooted into recovery was a success.
Created ROM slot on slot 1 , installed HyperDrive
Installed Hyperdrive , cleared Dvalik and Cache
Rebooted, loaded into HD. All new "Stock" look.
Time to download Nova , Swiftkey, Zooper , UCCW , etc.
Hopefully this helps someone out there, or if I messed up then someone can enlighten me.
I rooted with towelroot and then wanted to unroot because I was having issues. I was too lazy to just flash a new firmware, so instead I read that if you delete the SU and BUSYBOX files from xbin, it will unroot your device. I unrooted my device and restarted it but I am getting the 'system software not authorized' message. I tried to use odin for hours on end, trying different settings and what not and have no luck (odin needs the phone to be rooted in order to work its magic). Am I S.O.L.? I have the Verizon g900v

Knox doesn't like you messing with system files. By corrupting, rather than removing your root you now have the worst of both worlds. Knox isn't suppressed anymore and complains because it detects some of the changes you made. And your root is no longer functional.
You need to either re-root, either as an end goal or to be in a position to remove root properly. Or alternately you can install a 100% stock firmware so that Knox is placated. Odin 3.x shouldn't object to flashing a full and current Verizon OEM ROM. Note that the latter approach will obliterate your personal settings and data, so a backup would be in order first.

No, Knox counter can't be reset if triggered once. So you vl not able to reset it to 0 x0 from 0 x1.
For more details search xda. you will find much more details.

I was able to install CWM and tried PACMAN RC3 and Paranoid Rom and they were great but the problem was with battery charging
I plugged in the phone for 30 mins and battery level was 45 and charging LED was ON
after 30 mins I checked and found battery 40? I tried both these roms, I have done data wipe/factory reset, cache wipe option from CWM recovery and also format system in mounts option
I couldnt find wipe battery stats in advanced. MIUI rom and Touchwiz didnt have this issue. Should I try another recovery? like Philz?
Can I return to stock rom I have downloaded it from sammobile and can I flash it through Odin so everything is back to stock? How to do it and should I install same rom that came with my phone? 4.4.2 or can I also use 4.2 Jellybean rom but I have Knox Bootloader because battery drains faster on kitkat
Is this with the stock cable?
If you downloaded the latest ROM from sammobile.com as you claim, then you would have seen the instructions on the download page on how to use Odin to flash it. If you use a Jellybean ROM on your phone you may get lucky and only get a "Kernel is not SEAndroid Enforcing" warning on every boot. However, it's best to stick with the KitKat ROMs, especially as you have a Knox-enabled bootloader.
Once the ROM is installed, if you choose to remain on stock, root and debloat the ROM to get rid of most of the battery hogs. Otherwise go ahead and install the custom ROM of your choosing.

I can't find a custom rom that is most stock and flashable through clockworkmod. they are very modded touchwiz roms
I will install stock rom, root and debloat the rom? Is there some app to do that or should I use root explorer?
how to get root on 4.4.2 since it has Knox? should I use CF-autoroot thru odin?
Use Root Explorer, go through and debloat using the list on the forum. One thing I DON'T recommend is to remove any files from /system/lib. You don't save a great deal of space by deleting the files from there, and if you do delete them you'll lose screen rotation capability as the file which allows screen rotation to function is related to Samsung Hub.
For root, if you care about Knox, and the Knox flag isn't tripped, you'll need to downgrade your modem temporarily via Odin, run Towelroot, then upgrade your modem, again via Odin. If you don't give a damn about Knox or the Knox flag is tripped, then run CF-Autoroot.
