Anyone else having problems using wanam exposed to get rid of the custom unlock when booting up? It doesn't change in about phone either. It does say "official" in about phone though. It doesn't seem like the hack is working at all
You need to reboot twice to see it in effect. First reboot will still sees lock. 2nd reboot and in it will be gone.

TA ... which setting worked?
Beeing a bit of a noob, and not wanting to brick my phone by clicking the wrong option in "Triangle Away" ... exactly which setting did you select to remove the "custom" from the boot screen on the Note 3?
Thanks, in advance, for your help!

Reset flash counter.

I recently rooted my phone just to install an app to let me log some issues I'm having with my phone and unfortunately I can't find the problem. I'm going to send in my galaxy S4 to be repaired by Samsung but I want to ensure that they don't know that I rooted my phone. I unrooted the phone using odin and flashed the stock firmware to the phone. In the phone's settings it says "Official" for device status and when I boot the phone into download mode the Current Binary Says: "Samsung Official" and the System Status says "Official". The unrooting guide I used advised me to use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter. However, even when the phone was rooted, the current binary said "Samsung Official" so I decided to go ahead and unroot it without resetting the flash counter. I never flashed a custom rom to the phone. The only thing I did was root it. So, since the current binary said "Samsung Official" before and after unrooting the phone, am I ok to send it in? I'd rather not root the phone again just to reset the counter when it already says "Samsung Official".
Nor did I install a custom recovery.
Anyone?

Do I need to do a factory reset even if it already says "Samsung Official". I thought that the only time you need to do a factory reset is if your phone gets stuck in a boot loop.

What I'm confused about is that Motochopper is supposed to trip the flash counter but it didn't or at least it didn't appear that it did...
It shouldn't change the binary counter should have just changed the Samsung status is all only flashing Roms that aren't stock from ATT or Samsung should increase binary! If you boot into boot loader does it say official and if so your golden brah

By boot loader do you mean download mode because the recovery mode doesn't say anything? In download mode it says "Samsung Official" for current binary.

Ok and you are sure about motochopper not triggering the counter? Apparently, the Galaxy S4 doesn't show the flash counter in download mode, and only shows the current binary. Is it possible for the current binary to say "samsung official" but that flash counter to be 1? Of course, I could reroot, install Triangle Away and it would show me the flash counter, but I'd rather not go through all of that again if I don't have to...

I was a little paranoid so I actually ended up rerooting my phone, installing Triangle Away and just like you said, Triangle Away said the flash counter was 0 and the current binary said "Samsung Official" so I unrooted my phone and now I'm good to go.

yes triangle away will clear it. if you get a boot loop that keeps going into download mode pull the battery it will then boot to the TA flash counter reset menu. do the reset and then reboot. it will still show Device status as Custom in the status menu of system settings though.
this was my experience after rooting the 4.3 OTA mk2

Triangle Away doesn't work right if you have MF3. I don't know how it works if you have MDL, bit for MF3 you a have to used an closed module to fake an official status.

not sure about actually using it to reset the flash counter. my counter was not tripped but it did reset the boot splash screen back to the galaxy s4 boot logo instead of the pad lock custom screen.
as for the unlock bootloader im not sure where you were getting that info there is no such option in triangle away. and i could not find the thread you were refering to.
and as stated above triangle away will not set the status to official on mk2 in the about tab device status menu

how can i fix this?
i think the xposed modules messed up my rom and now ive lost my root because i updated my firmware to XXUGNG4,
my counters are still 0x0,
but my device status says its custom even though im on stock odexed rom,
is it possible to fix this w/o odin?
because i dont have a p.c,
and if flash a fresh stock rom will my device status change to official?
and what are the chances of triping my counters?
wipe data/cache in the stock recovery.
wanam xposed also has the option to fake your status to "official", dont know whether it works though.

Factory reset and anything wont work to make it official. If that would have been the method, why was triangle away introduced. :/
Nothing will hapoen till you get your root access.
Obtain root access, try wanam, because triangle away does not work for i9500.
Can try reflashing the stock rom, it might be of little use though.
Till you get yourself root, nothing good can happen...

There's a real easy fix if you're rooted...
What does the pop-up even say, you never explained
I think I solved the problem. I changed the file system to art and then back to dalvik. The lock and custom are gone on boot up now. Now I just gotta figure out why when trying to update, it says that the update service is temporarily unavailable.
Does your baseband and build number match? What did you flash?
I was rooted on NI2. Restored to stock NI2. Had the custom message with the padlock icon on startup. Finally changing to art and back to dalvik made the padlock go away.

You could Odin the build you wanted to update to. Did you connect with kies?

Forgive the question, but is your MOJO rooted? I believe the method you're using should work if you're rooted. (Someone please correct me if I'm missing something.)

If you haven't already, you can get SuperSU from the Play store and I believe it should tell you if you're not rooted (you'll likely need it anyway if you are rooted). You can also get a root checker app from the play store, or if you have an app that has root functions (like es explorer), you can open it and try to enable them.

Sorry about forgetting this earlier, but I should have remembered if you're using quick reboot successfully, then that pretty much would mean you're rooted.

So it looks like the red triangle is the stock recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39315483&postcount=5
Sorry, but I never keep stock recovery, so I guess that's why I didn't notice.
So you're probably going to want to flash TWRP recovery so you can actually take advantage of your modded MOJO. Flashify is the easiest method to do this without a computer. You can also backup your stock recovery with Flashify so you can return you're MOJO to it's original state at some point.
Here's where you can find TWRP recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mad...overy-twrp-2-8-2-0-recovery-mad-catz-t2973640
Just download the zip file to your MOJO, backup your original recovery in Flashify, then flash TWRP recovery with Flashify. You should then be able to boot into recovery. The towelroot/Flashify method is what I used, so I expect it to work fine for you.
Even if something goes south, the MOJO is a great device to screw around and learn about root stuff as you can't really brick it. You're always just a male to male USB plug away from fastboot resurrection.

It shouldn't. The only thing I can think of that would make your MOJO lose root is if you flash one of unjustified's roms (other than cyanogenmod) without flashing the SuperSU zip immediately after.

Hmm, I seem to remember that happening to me once, and then when I opened Flashify before clicking on the TWRP zip, it worked. Have you opened Flashify, and if so, did a SuperSU permissions request popup?

In that case, you should be able to enable root in the CyanogenMod settings under developer options as stated here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63238624&postcount=273
And then you can flash the stock MOJO rom found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mad-catz-mojo/general/stock-rom-mojo-please-help-t3040895
Alternatively, if you previously made a backup of your stock MOJO rom in TWRP, then you can flash that instead.
