With the LG about status showing if your rooted, does that go away if you restore or if you unroot? Or once it's tripped, does it stay tripped for ever?
Goes away if you flash back to stock, not just unrooting, or factory reset.

So just flash to stock if you ever need to get warranty work done.. gotcha.

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.

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.

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.

If I root my phone using the method above, will it void my warranty? I know when you usually root a phone it does void your warranty, but the reason why I'm asking is because towards the bottom of the main post in that root thread, it says this:
"Why is it asking if I want to 'trip rootchecker'?
LG's phones come with some software loaded that detects the presence of root on a phone, and invalidates your warranty.
Rooting the phone, by nature, voids your warranty. You can put your phone in a special mode where ADB shell has root permissions, however your phone is not technically 'rooted' by app standards.
You will not be able to use 'root required' apps on your phone if you do not let the root script install Superuser."
If you unroot and go back to stock it reverts to show that your phone is not rooted.

Yes... rooting voids your warranty. Thread Closed.

What about in download mode? (while powered off plug in usb while holding volume up, to get out just hold power until it reboots) others have mentioned this one still remains in rooted status.

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.
Hi everyone,
Do you know if it is possible to return back to the stock rom if I am currently on TWRM recovery running CM11 4.4 rom? All my apps keep constantly crashing and I am having issues with my text messages not going through. I found the rom for 4.2.2 but I am unsure if its possible without messing up phone. How would one even do this? Thank you again!
Yes you can return to.it.with odin. For stock unrooted.

So I can literally just plug my phone in and flash the stock rom to my phone right? If so, thats great !
If stock unrooted is what you're going for, yes. You will have to grab the 4.2.2 tar and odin it. Back up anything important because if after running Odin successfully, and the phone boots up but hangs on sprint splash screen. You will have to perform a factory reset.
