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.

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.

Yes, you'd have to install a stock ROM and make sure it isn't rooted. Make the phone look like it was when you got it, basically.

Or just flash stock gb with pc odin and do a full wipe, you'll lose root and cwm.

No, doesn't affect counter. Only flashing custom Roms and kernels will raise counter.

One question before I root.

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.

[Q] Re-Flashing stock rom on rooted device

I have a rooted N900 running stock rom, I want to reflash the stock rom, the question is; do I have to unroot first? Or I can flash it right without unrooting
I'm not concerned about warranty and reseting flash binary, I just want to get a clean stock rom again

Possible to unroot mf3 to update to 4.3?

Basically looking to go back to default factory settings, don't have the stock recovery anymore or a custom one, do not see if there's a official firmware that I can run
Would anyone be able to direct me in the right direction
Thanks
So your recovery is gone? Same thing happened to me before. Unfreeze any apps (if you froze any) take your phone to Best Buy and say Kies broke your phone. They can re-flash your phone which will unroot it and you get your recovery back. Then install the update.

Why can't we this kies lol
We have the mf3 tar files you can use though to flash mf3
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Yes use the MF3 files in Odin and if you like root than re root and install Supersu pro to use survival mode and take the OTA Update and it will keep root for you . completely safe

Device is modified?

My note 3 is running the belgian 4.4.2 I downloaded from Sam mobile and flashed with odin, though the phone says it is a custom rom and when I click check for updates it also says phone is modified.
Anyone know what the problem is here and how I can restore ota updates?
The phone was rooted when i was on 4.3 but I have flashed first the Polish and then the Belgian 4.4s via odin

You can't go back to JB from KK... You may as well have said to connect to Kies and let that fix it...
To the Op, check if your Knox warranty void has been tripped, if it has you may as well root and install a custom rom and/or recovery, or at the very least xposed framework.
You can't reset theKnox but you can use a mod to trick the system into thinking its official which will allow OTA updates. You may need a couple of things to be active so the OTA will install but I'll let you look that up.

Used to read about a bug on samsung phones where if it contains too many files it would show system status as modified. Try transfer as much as your files from phone memory into sdcard then remove it. Then check again system status. It sounds crazy but i'm pretty sure that's my understanding from the thread

If you have an SD Card remove it then boot up. Sometimes causes issues.

That's what I just did from the post above and it hasn't changed anything, I also reflashed the rom with odin and it's still the same...

Strange, when flashing back to complete stock everything goes back to official (bar knox of course) - did you try the xeo? It's possible if you've used another firmware (carrier or country) the device may not like it.
Also a complete wipe may help too.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well when I reflashed and it didn't work I did a factory reset and cleared the cache to no prevail.
What's the xeo mate?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Mine is the same. I went to stock because my official kit kat came out. VIA O2 germany.
Still says custom. Might root and try triangle away. Not sure if I want to re set all back up again today though

Has KK implemented a non return to official status then?

Not sure but maybe if I install the btu when that comes out it will go back to official

Possibly, if they've changed it. That's put the sh...ter up everyone now.. darn Samsung! ! Blergh. . They love alienating people huh.
