Hallo The Expert,
I'd like know about new system in N900 XXUCMJ7 XSE version. XXUCMJ7 has a new system warranty, Now my Warranty Bit is 1. and I heard from the XDA Forum that modified N900 like Rooting void the warranty and CANNOT flash a new system via odin, is that true?? Because 3 days ago I just flash my rooted N900 successfully from XXUBMJ1 to XXUCMJ7 via odin and everything well done and my ROM Status was official again. and now XXUCMJ7 has a new warranty bit, and after flash CWM via odin, warranty bit is 1. My question is if I want to install a new future stock firmware from sammobile and flash via odin, Was it safe??? Can I flash a new firmware ROM with warranty bit 1? Because before flash a new firmware, I always format /system first, so It's empty without system.
Thanks For the sharing

guys,
My I9505 has a hardware problem: the VOL DOWN is unresponsive.
That's a nasty problem, because rebooting the phone gives a lot of problems (warnings about a custom rom, and then nothing works anymore)
So I'd like to return it, but have to restore the phone for warranty.
I managed to flash latest stock MH8.
Here are my questions:
1. before, I've flashed autoroot - does that make the flashcounter go up?
2. before, I've flashed philz recovery - does that make the flashcounter go up?
3. I've flashed the new stock firmware, but still see a clockworkmod folder. can I safely remove that?
4. are there other folders I've to remove to NOT void my warranty?
5. is it necessary/safe to use triangle away on MH8 with the new bootloader?
thanks for any insights!

Be VERY VERY careful if you're running the new knox firmware that you don't trip the eFuse and change KNOX Warranty void status.
If you have flashed stock firmware MH8 in Odin I would simply do a factory reset in the STOCK recovery and wipe everything that way and send to repair centre.
Do not flash ANYTHING custom or otherwise, even older Stock firmware in Odin.
If you do you will trip the eFuse, your KNOX warranty status will change and you'll be f***ed mate.

Thanks, that's very good advice. will keep it in mind.
Do you know the answer to my questions about the flashcounter going up by flashing recoveries in stead of custom roms?

Hello Guys,
Let's start with the story :
Old Bootloader, Stock Kernel , PhilZ CMW and Rom XXUDMBA with Chainfire Root.
Then i've installed through CMW the Know Free XXMI1, with Adam Kernel and Modem XXMI1 and still CMW Philz.
Suddenly my phone started to get crazy. Not able to receive calls, pohone freeze , screen blinking etc... Tried with factory and wipe but stucked on S4 logo (not even the samsung one)
Installed, through Odin, the MH8 pre-rooted, Modem MH8, Stock Kernel.
Now i've the new Bootloader, Knox Status stil 0x0, New Modem and New Rom. Everything is working but i've a question.
If i would like to have back the Philz Custom Recovery, flashing with odin, the Knox status will reach 0x1 ?
And why now my device says that my status is modified. I have stock kernel, recovery, rom (just knox free).
and if i would like to update the Rom with a stock one, with knox and all the other s***t, do i need to go necessary through Odin ? because OTA are compromised.
Last question is : Is the wifi-fix mandatory ? i don't know how to know if my wifi has problem. So far seems to work perfectly.

Modified because its pre-rooted...
Flashing anything through ODIN will change the void warranty from 0x0 to 0x1 unless its a stock rom (from MH8 up otherwise you will soft brick)....
You might be able to get rid of the modified status if you flash a totally stock rom but who wants to do that?
So the next question is :
If i would like to flash a new pre-rooted or custom rom i'll void my knox anyway. Because now i have stock recovery and this mean that i can flash only through Kies to a stock Rom right ?
Flashing a custom recovery with Odin (Knox 0x1)
Flashing a stock pre-rooted rom with Odin (Knox 0x1)
Flashing a stock rom newer then mine with kies or Odin (Knox 0x0)
am i right ? so i'm stucked on this ROM in other words, unless i'll just don't care about Knox.
I successfully rooted my Note 3(N9005) with Universal Root de la Vega v0.5 ( wasn't alowed to post a thanks in that thread or leave my commend but donated and used thanks button ).
I got the Note 3 last Saturday, mission was to get root without trigger KNOX warenty bit in 14 days or send device back without comment. So far I succeed.
I keept my orginal Firmware Version before root, because I learnt from my Note 1(N7000) that putting the an actual firmware on the device and want to get root is a bad idea.
So now I want to put the actual firmware on device but don't trigger KNOX or loose root.
Mobile Odin is abad idea because it will trigger KNOX. I have also bad expirens with it on my Note 1. 2 times soft brick and once damaged chache partition, needed to use Odin(used v1.85) to get device back running. No succsessfull flash, so never used it again.
I now found what Mobile Odin should work with Knox 0x0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522729
I still not sure if Ishould use it.
Update over OTA or Kies will not work or update to newer bootloader and loose root.
My idea is to use latest Firmware and Odin( v3.07 version used for Root de la Vega) without flashing bootloader(I never done on my old).
With Odin I will loose root, so I need to root with Universal Root de la Vega method again?
Which partition are nessary AP,CP, CSC and UMS?
Of course not BL and EFS.
Ordered my Note 3 over Amazon. Strange is I got a dutch/netherland version.
I most likly want to have german version(downloaded N9005XXUDMK2_N9005DBTDMK2_DBT from SamMobile).
So far I know the diffrenz is in the cache so maybee I need to wipe cache.
So here also a question why can I flash cache and still have data on, which I need to wipe if I hasve problems?
Are this different partitions?
Could be the old bootloader makes problem with newer firmware?
Is were a save way to dowload actual firmware over Kies without starting the update(will install new bootloader).
Like disconnect device while downloading, can't try because my Note 1 has already actual Firmware and my Note 3 I don't want to risk.
On the Note 1 I could download firmware wit Kies but Update failed(I think because of root), but the I had the firmware and could use Odin.
On my old Note 1 I just flashed back to older firmware with Odin then something was wrong(warenty counter was already one).
I'm just not sure about this KNOX counter, should I use Odin with Universal Root de la Vega on actual Firmware or use Mobile Odin.
Or have you another save method to update with keep root.
Let me hear your comments.

Ok, so download the DBT firmware you need to match your bootloader from Sammobile (*#1234# to check current firmware) -- You won't be able to go any higher firmware than your current without upgrading your bootloader without using Mobile ODIN as far as I know. However @Killberty may chime in here as he uses DBT also and may be able to help you better.

Mobile Odin is a bad idea because you will lose root.
Mobile Odin PRO is a great idea - there is an entire thread about that and I have used it with zero problems. We don't know 100% certain that in future versions of firmware it will still work with knox 0x0 , but so far is OK.
So I more and more thing I will give Mobile Odin Pro a change.
Yes I have the Pro version already, but had the bad experience like I posted.
Sorry I forgot to post my current version, I thought I did.
AP: N9005XXUBMI7
CP: N9005XXUBMI6
CSC: N9005PHNBMI2
So I used N9005XXUBMI7_N9005PHNBMI2_PHN to make root(same version as original).
So you think it better to flash first to the N9005XXUBMI7 N9005DBTBMI1 to have german to have same bootloader.
And later go to actual N9005XXUDMK2 N9005DBTDMK2 using Mobil Odin Pro.
Or better first try N9005XXUDMJ7 N9005DBTDMJ4 which is confirmed to work with MOP.
I'm not sure about the change XXUB to XXUD but i think a change in the former digits I also have seen on my Note 1.
Maybe this is the bootloader.
About flash with Odin, I think you right, it Flash always the complete package, this is the reason I flashed on rooting firmware 2 times.
Because I had but the package on AP and CSC.
So the only way to flash without bootloader is to repackage like in Universal RDLV.

I have MJ7 but do not know about MK2 - the URDLV + Mobile Odin Pro thread is probably the right place to ask.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522729
OK Thanks for the answer.
I'm currently reading the URDLV + Mobile Odin Pro thread, if after what it's not clear I will ask were.
Thanks.
If u dont wanna pay 5 bucks for the MOP, just quote me

I have now flashed the MK2 with Mobile Odin Pro.
I had trouble to download the flash-kernel with MOP, so I downloaded it here in the forum.
The Problem was unstable WiFi with Firmware MI7.
With MK2 I get the full speed of my Internet connection(50 MBit/s,WiFi Interface is 65 MBit/s), the Note 1 didn't(about 5-10 MBit/s).
@Killberty: I have read your thread very nice, I would have used your method if MOP had failed.
It's very good to know the command to create firmware update package.
I had bought MOB over a year ago for my Note 1, but because of 3 times it failed, I newer used it again.
I flashed with Odin and inserted root(Super User + Busybox) with temporary CWM.
This is why I hesitated and asked back here, but after all the positive response I tried.
Only Samsung realy detects what the firmware is rooted, so no firmware downloads from Samsung, I have to trust SamMobiles.
And Knox is not running, they tell you before activation of knox what all your data(in Knox Software) are lost if firmware is modified(won't start).
So I give a status update.
I wanted to find out why I can't update and maybe try Knox.
The strange think was Kies has shown PHN version, but i flashed DBT version with MOP.
I thought maybe language version is in bootloader.
So I first flashed back to MI7 with MOP. Now I don't have Modem acces(no wifi, gms..) and device restarts regulary.
So I wanted to flash the N9005XXUBMI7 N9005DBTBMI1 with standard odin, but failed because of to small hidden partition.
Hidden update for PHN was 8MB and for DBT over 60Mb, I think hidden partion is about 10MB.
So this was why Kies still have shown PHN version, because it couldn't be updated.
So I flashed original N9005XXUBMI7_N9005PHNBMI2_PHN, this was working.
Because I can't flash DBT I downloaded latest PHN N9005XXUDMJ7_N9005PHNDMJ4_PHN without bootloader of course(Killberty method, thanks.).
So I find following out.
I can't change to DBT version, because of to small hidden partition. I need a PIT file to repartition and could probably brick my device I will check forum if someone have successfully done it(I mean successfully repartitioned to other language, not bricked the device).
Kies updates can still be done, problem was I had version language combination with didn't exit from Samsung.
Downgrade is not possible, because modem isn't running.
OTA updates are available on unrooted device, even with RDLV updated script, so it should be possible to unroot by put the system partition to original state except RDLV script and get root later back without re flash.
This will not help to get Knox running, because Knox will check bootloader and not run with old one.(state from Samsung https://www.samsungknox.com/en/blog/about-root-de-la-vega).
I now have changed to DBT version.
To do what I needed a pit file, hadn't found the information on XDA but I found it on another forum.
It's in german and very nicely explained:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/anleitu...note-3-debranding-alle-eu-modelle-zu-dbt.html
http://www.android-hilfe.de/anleitu...8844-anleitung-pit-file-backup-erstellen.html
If somone need this ifo I can try to translate.
So to create a backup of your N9005 pit file you open terminal Emulator on rooted device.
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/My-N9005.pit bs=1 skip=17408 count=4244
So you have the pit file on your internal sdcard.
I have now attached 2 pit files.
Netherlands N9005_PHN.pit
German N9005_DBT.pit
The DBT has 10 times bigger hidden volume, so the data partition is smaller. The rest is equal.
You need to flash with Re-Partition and Firmware with old boot-loader.
Go in recovery and format data partition.
Now install the actual Firmware with RDLV(without boot-loader).
Glad u got sorted

Guys i want to install stock recovery on my Sm-530H grand prime...
I rooted it .. ... installed philz touch recovery...etc
Now i want to completely unroot it.
In the SU App.......I completely Unroot the phone...
But i have custom recovery...
I am downloading the Stock firmware...i'll flash it to make my phone back normal...
But the question is....How can i install back the stock recovery....?
Do i need to flash stockrecovery.img ?
If yes then kindly provide me with the link to it.
Thanks in advance
And one more question....
Will the warranty become eligible again ?
I've seen some threads..
And found that Stock recovery can be flashed back By the same method we rooted our phone...
But For rooting we flashed 2 files....to restore stock recovery all we need to do is only flash the 1st file...(Of Mohan's Rooting Zip file)
Am i right ? Correct me if i am wrong...because i dont want to brick my phone
Flashing custom recovery = Knox void 0x1 or warranty void. No more warranty.
Just flash back the stock firmware you are downloading it will flash all including the stock recovery.

Hi all,
I want to install ROM by _alexndr on a new G900F. I want to keep KNOX 0x0, so I need root to flash this ROM using flashfire.
However, the device came with android 5 when I bought it, so towelroot does not work. If I understood correctly, I have to flash stock 4.4.2 firmware (where do I get it? which tool to use for flashing? Just flash, or other things to take care of?), then I can use towelroot and flash ROM by _alexndr with flashfire. Did I miss anything important?
Get the ROM and ODIN the flashing tool from sammobile .com firmware section
Instructions under the download (Free account might be needed to download the ROM)
Can I just flash the old 4.4.2 firmware over the current 5.0 firmware, or do I have to consider something else?
I've flashed KK over LP before, and first boot didn't boot, flashed it again the same way, and it booted fine
Might need to factory reset before/after flashing if you have problems
