YOUR STATUS MUST BE EXACTLY THE SAME EXCEPT FOR THE PRODUCT NAME
IF IT THE SAME AS ABOVE,NOW FLASH STOCK RECOVERY VIA ODIN BUT UNCHECK THE AUTO REBOOT.THEN WHEN FLASINGH COMPLETE, PRESS AND HOLD VOLUME UP AND POWER BUTTON TO REBOOT INTO RECOVERY MODE.ONCE IN RECOVERY REBOOT FROM THERE.
NOTE:
YOU MUST HAVE STOCK ROM, STOCK RECOVERY AND STOCK KERNEL

TROUBLESHOOTING:
THE DEVICE STATUS DOES NOT CHANGE TO OFFICIAL : FLASH STOCK RECOVERY AND TRY AGAIN
IF STILL THE DEVICE STATUS IS CUSTOM OR MODIFIED, CAREFULLY REPEAT THE STEPS ABOVE ( 1 TO 6 ) AND CHECK IF IT STILL CUSTOM, FLASH STOCK RECOVERY ONLY AND CHECK STATUS : IF IT IS OFFICIAL IN DOWNLOAD MODE AND SETTINGS THEN NO NEED TO DO A FACTORY RESET
IMPORTANT POINTS:
THE DEVICE CAN CHANGE BACK TO CUSTOM IF YOU CHECK IN SETTING, JUST DO A RESTART OR POWER OFF AND START, IT WILL BE OFFICIAL
SOME APPS THAT ASK FOR ROOT PERMISSION ON START, CAN ALSO TRIGGER THE STATUS TO CHANGE : YOU CAN DISABLE IT OR UNINSTALL IT
I HAVE TESTED THE ABOVE METHOD BY MYSELF AND IT WORKS ALSO I HAVE ATTACHED SCREENSHOTS TO PROVE THAT I HAVE ROOT AND ALL THE STATUSES OFFICIAL

Why is step 6 necessary if it is already back to saying official? (I'm new to dealing with samsung's flash counter so I apologize if the answer is obvious)

yes it is neccesary because in download mode it may show SYSTEM STATUS : OFFICIAL but it does not show in settings > about device > status> device status
it will be still modified or custom there so factory reset needs to be done
I did the same thing but stayed rooted with the "Official" Device Status in About settings using mobile ODIN Pro.
Triangle away 1st, I used the latest, 2.88 I believe.
From a rooted device with mobile ODIN Pro installed I factory reset the Note 1st in settings, then using mobile ODIN flashed a stock rom onto the device ticking clear cache/data and clear dalvik cache.
After reset and setup, I'm still rooted with Mobile ODIN Pro & Supersu installed and have 0 counter, Official rom status in download mode on both parts and my About status in settings says official... This took about as long as it takes to flash the stock rom....
2nd picture, 3rd app from the right is SuperSU Pro...

but with my method u dont need to flash stock rom [ correct me if i am wrong ]
You still need to go back to a stock rom. Any custom R0Ms won't do as they use custom recoveries. Besides, I haven't seen many Custom ROM's that Can be flashed by ODIN.
And as soon as you root your tab you increase the flash counter.

Thats 100% correct .
TA + Stock Rom + Factory Reset is my preferred method to clear the three custom firmware indicators .

As of now I am rooted, have a custom firmware and high on android recovery. I want to stay rooted but remove all 3 of the custom status warnings. If I just follow this guide, will I stay rooted? I know I will have to remove my custom rom but I don't mind so it isn't a problem. Based on what ultramag69's post it sounds like I will be able to remain rooted using the guide in the OP.
It's unrelated to what I want to do now (since I want to keep root) but how is this different from unrooting. The steps seem the same. I'm confused about how/if you keep root with this method and how you would go about unrooting in the event of needing to send the tablet in for repairs to samsung.

Because you can't use the Allshare cast hub if you have a custom status in the bootloader section and a raised count.
This has been raised before....
You may want to alter the name of the thread to say for stock roms as this may come up again.
With the method I put forward you will loose your custom rom but you will retain a stock rooted rom with all statuses as "Official" and "0" flash counter. Afterwards you may be able to flash a custom rom but I believe the system status will go back to "Custom" as custom roms install custom recoveries and play around with system files that get scanned after initial boot...
Likewise the thread says how to reset and does not say how to reset stock rom only .

Yes. Those are the 3 areas that change.
My Download mode screen says -
Odin mode
Product Name: GT-N8000
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
My System>about device>Status>Device Status is Official.
I am rooted with Super SU pro installed and Mobile ODIN Pro installed. I have root access to my device. I can use titanium backup/carbon backup as I am rooted.
Clock sync works without needing rootless mode and I can access and alter my system directory.

I'm running a custom 4.2.2 GE ROM and want to return to my stock ROM. Currently my device has CWM as the recovery and is rooted. Am I able to just flash my stock ROM through odin? Should I use triangle away first, also do I need to install stock recovery? I have read the unroot guide and I understand how to flash just need to know the answers to these questions before I flash. Thank you in advance.

That TW recovery will be there but i m not vry sure that u can use the same on the Ge version rom thats the reason i told u to get back to stock and then work for TA etc for safety of ur device
Thanks for your quick replies, downloading my stock firmware now. Will post how it all goes.
Run Triangle away, clear the counter, go directly to download mode from there. Flash stock rom with odin (it includes everything including recovery rom modem kernel).
After it is done, go into recovery with the 3 button combo (this time you will see the standard stock recovery, do a factory reset there and you are set). Just remember, doing a factory reset in stock recovery also formats the internal sdcard (the internal phone storage), so be sure to have a backup of any files photos or whatever you have there because you will lose them.
Worked perfectly thank you both for your help.

it isn't possible to get back to stock recovery by just flashing a stock recover zip? Is flashing the complete stock rom the only way?

So, I got both my official statuses on the download boot, but my device status won't go back to official. I've removed root, and my CM 10.2 ROM. Only thing left to remove is my CWM recovery. I can't restore using a stock ODIN file because it will ask for my SIM activation, which will not activate as my SIM card tray is broken.
I have 2 questions, If I reset my phone and cannot get passed my SIM card activation, will Samsung be able to check that my device status isn't official?
Bump?
Also wondering if theres a way to reset the flash counter after flashing stock?
I'm pretty sure you don't need a SIM card after using Odin or flashing a new ROM. I have flashed ROMS without a SIM card before.
To revert to stock i do the following:
- if coming from a non touchwiz Rom I restore a nandroid of the stock Rom
- install triangle away
- reset counter
- boot to download mode
- Odin stock firmware for your carrier
- after Odin boot into stock recover
- factory reset
Should be good as new now.

Wait, but if I flash stock firmware, wont it add to my counter?
Flash official firmware.
Do a wipe if it doesn't make your device official status
If counter is 1 or higher, root with cf root, then triangle away and then Unroot.

My problem is if my flash counter goes up, I cant get past the Sim card activation to install triangle away, and thus i'm screwed. So I'm wondering what I can do here.

In order to run a 4.4 rom you need to flash the NC2 kernel via Odin. The files and instructions can be found here. Just substitute the Hyperdrive rom or whatever 4.4 based rom you've chosen in the corresponding steps in the instructions. Also you only need to do this once unless you reset the device via Odin, the kernel will stick so flashing a different rom won't be as complicated.
Also it is recommended to use only the Stock slot in Safestrap because of battery/data drain issues. Just make sure to wipe before installing so everything installs correctly.

Just follow the steps I sent you in the pm. No need to use the stock deodex rom.
Most custom roms will be deodex, all this means is that an app is one part. Normal an odex rom an app will be two parts, and located in two separate locations in memory, it helps which load times under certain demands but hinders customization.
As for the stock slot it is okay to wipe, and if you made a backup you can wipe and restore it. If you didn't make a backup you can always download a stock rom. Just try to think of your original stock rom is exactly that, A Rom, nothing more nothing less.

I think I missed the juice of the fix but can you help me? I had the same issue as him, but ran what I thought would fix it but I just see the boot screen continousely since doing ODIN N900v_NC2_FW_Updated.tar.md5
Since doing this, I lost my safestrap and just see those colored balls loading as it looks like a bootloop

If you've lost Safestrap you will need to reset your device via Odin and start over. Pulling the battery will get you oit of the bootloop, then boot into download mode (volume down + home + power button).
On your computer you need to open Odin and then connect your phone to your computer. Load the stock tar file found here in the AP slot. Give Odin a couple minutes to load the process and once the Start button is available click it and let Odin run. It will restart your device when it is finished. Just a heads up, if you are currently on NC4 you must use that firmware you can not go backwards.
From this point you will need to reroot, install busybox and Safestrap again. From there follow the instructions found here to get on the NC2 kernel.
If you followed all these steps correctly you can now flash any 4.4 based rom for the retail Note 3.
it works!

Enjoy.
Guys i have 910F...Running ANK4 KITKAT. I tried to root it with CF-Auto-Root-trlte-trltexx-smn910f. The rooting tutorial said i had to disable auto reboot and should perform a battery pullout after rooting....everything went fine untill i pulled out the battery and put it back in after root...the phone turns on and says "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" And just restarts...i am stuck in a bootloop whenver i try to root it.....i was able to get the phone back online after flashing stock 4.4.4 in ODIN, but what am i doing wrong here....why cant i root this phone?
This happened to me yesterday - you cannot root a stock rom v5.1.1 with CF Auto Root, if you try it will end up in a bootloop. There is a way around this if you search the Note 4 CF Auto Root thread - pages 121 and 124 if i remember rightly.
But i am not on 5.1 i am on stock 4.4.4....anyone else might wana help?

4.4.4 what the hell is that?
If you try gingerbread, you will never update a rom. The best android on earth. (just after the eclair, froyo was a major disappointment)

Are you trying to keep a stock ROM and root it?
I would upgrade to lolipop. I run AICP on my n910f and I love it, best ROM for our phone at the moment in my opinion. To go to a custom lolipop from kitkat you'll need to first flash a lolipop stock ROM, here Then you can flash your custom recovery via odin. Then you can flash any custom ROM via zip file from your recovery software as usual. Custom ROMs are usually rooted by default already so once you've flashed it you're already rooted. If you search the forum you can find a rooted stock ROM if that is your preference.

Did you try a factory data reset after using autoroot? Go into the stock recovery and do a factory data reset after auto root and it may boot after that. If you want to keep 4.4.4 stock ROM then just flash an already rooted stock ROM. They're in the ROM section for your device. That's what I would do if you're having issues with cf auto root.
