flash counter shows 0 knox shows 0 but system says custom - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed my Canadian note 3 (SM-N900W8) back to stock using odin. The device now has stock firmware stock recovery and is unrooted. In device status and in download mode it shows custom, as well as it showing counter:0 within triangle away. I cannot check for OTA updates because of this. It says the device has been modified. Oh and Knox also shows 0x0. Any ideas?

[Q] S4 I9505 Stock Rooted, Device Custom problem

Hello guys,
I rooted my stock s4 using Odin and CF-Autoroot. Everything went fine.
After this, i flashed the Official Status Mod and reseted the flash counter with Triangle Away 3.0.1.
My Flash counter is 0 and the Device Status was Official.
Then i installed busybox and with System Tuner Pro, removed from Startup some apps, specially Samsung ones.
Yesterday i was checking the Device Status and it is Custom now (
Tried to flash Official Status Mod again, but nothing..
Triangle Away shows counter 0, Binary official. I tried the System modified workaround, but nothing, it stays Custom.
Is there some app that cannot be desactivated to stay Official? Theres anything else i can try?
Thanks!

[Q] SElinux status enforcing, after update DBT

hi i had kies updates and OTA problem cuz counter was on 5
so i rooted it and used triangle away, so its showed 0
then hard reset
after boot up, update went itself over wifi to latest DBT
when i go to settings it shows selinux status enforcing, before i had permissive i think
after update i lost root, suuser app is still there, cant remove, so i disabled it
question is whats selinux status enforcing ? status is
strange thing is kies still says firmware dosent support kies updates, but in phone ota going throug, says i got latest..
should i flash latest firmvare DBT over it again? via odin?
to do so i would have to root it and reset triangle away again? as counter will go up and no updates again?
thank you

[Q] Has Knox been tripped?

Guys,
I have a I9500 with Build XXUBMG1 on 4.2.2. I rooted it through Cofface. So I now try to OTA update to 4.3 and of course Kies refuses because everything reads "Custom" now.
I see Knox software through Titanium Backup.
So,
1) Has Knox been tripped?
2) How do I get everything back to official?

check in download mode it id reads 0x1 then yes you can either reinstall stock firmware or use triangle away to set back to offical and i think wannam xposed has an option to set device status to official in system about phone

I'm still on 4.2.2 and have not flashed 4.3. In download mode, it says "Current Binary: Custom" and "System Status: Custom." No mention of Knox Bit.

use triangle away from playstore may solve it

software has been modified on Rogers

So I sold my buddy the note 3. It was rooted so I flashed a 4.42 stock firmware back on, knox is already tripped. Apparently there's an update for the device and the msg when he tries to update is software has been modified. I download root checker and it is indeed no rooted. Any ideas?
Because knox has been tripped to 0x1, that phone can never updated via ota or the samsung app. You must now download a updated stock rom, or some other fancy rom. Untill someone can fix knox back to 0x0... This is the only way to upgrade.
Experienced this running stock rom and all (recovery, boot etc). But knox is already 0x1. When i was running XTC (Philippine stock kk rom) i get the message about modified software when checking with ota. But when I use XSG(is the csc correct for Singapore?) And try to do an ota it downloaded the update without a problem.
Heres what you can do use triangle away to reset thr binary recovery to official then flash stock rom and see if you can do an ota without any problems.

binary rest when triangle away won't work

I have a s4 i9505 snapdragon on official rooted rom and have been trying to get back to official binary and rom status but have tyred triangle away and reflashing back to official rom with odin but having no success as fare as the binary goes I have tyred repatriation it to can any one pls help I have custom recovery Philz touch installed
You don't say what version of Android you're on, but if I recall correctly, versions from Android 4.3 and up no longer use a flash counter in the bootloader, as it has been replaced with the Knox flag. For those devices, TriangleAway will not work, and there is no way to reset the Knox flag. Once the Knox flag is tripped, it stays tripped.
The custom recovery is why your status is not "Official". To get "Official" status you have to install all the stock components, including the recovery. Personally, given many of these devices are at the three-year mark in lifespan, the warranty no longer matters and thus I would keep a custom recovery. Only, I would replace said recovery with TWRP, as Philz doesn't seem to play nice with current ROMs.
