Hello! I been on stock. Tried a couples of roms. Now I give my phone and been tring to get it to stock. Only problem is that using the Triangle Away the apk wont rebot. I do it manually but nothing hapends... What can I do? Want relly to get to full stock! Thanks! PS: I'm on 5.0.1
Triangle Away doesn't work on Android 5.0.1 as there is no flash counter. If you flashed a custom ROM of any kind, you likely tripped the Knox flag. Once the Knox flag is tripped, it stays tripped. There's no way to change it.

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to find an explanation for this but was not able to anywhere. Here is my problem, I had rooted my AT&T Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 and played with it for a few days flashing different kinds of ROM and trying all kinds of cool stuff. But then I decided to bring it back to stock. I unrooted and did everything including resetting the binary counter and the phone seems perfect and like new but accept for one problem. When I go to download mode I still get the famous yellow triangle but everything else looks right as follows:
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0X0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0X0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
The question here is, is the yellow triangle in my case a normal thing to see or something went wrong with the unrooting process. If the yellow triangle is not supposed to be there then I am hoping someone would put me on the right track to get rid of it. Thanks in advance.

I believe the yellow triangle is just there to let you know download mode is serious business. Your system status and current binary report offical, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Good news. Thanks.
Can someone with the same phone confirm that please.
Hi,
Been having issues with the phone and am planning to rma it. I have rooted/unlocked it and tripped knox. What is the best way to restore it to stock as much as poss? Is it just a case of flashing the stock rom?
Cheers
Wipe data from CWM or Twrp before running triangle away...Check and make sure your model is supported, not sure if I ran triangle away for the Note 3 or the S4 to get all the "custom" back to "official" in download mode. Then reflash phone with stock rom, a bit hard if you're on KK and your region doesn't have it yet, then factory reset...
You won't get Knox trigger back to 0x0 but just play dumb....
Best advice I can give if there's a problem with the hardware...
I tried to root with towelroot=not support?:crying:
I tryied vroot and it support,no dare to click, will it trip knox?
Others like geniusroot,kingo root support n trip knox?
Any chances to root without trip knox?
Thank you.
Hello.
I had rooted my Galaxy S4 (i9505), 4.4.2, without triggering the Knox Flag, using CF-Auto-Root, via Odin. The Flash Counter is now 1, due to flashing something, but Knox is 0x0. Flash counter can be reseted by using Triangle Away,
Hope this helps.

Mind that you have to install BusyBox from Google Play, cause it does not come with it.
Have fun

Thanks to you.Still can not root at the moment fir I9500
Not included - Triangle Away - ! NOT OPERATIONAL ON THE GT-I9500 !
Triangle Away can be used to reset the flash counter after installing CF-Root. The flash counter keeps track of how many custom firmwares you have flashed, as this voids warranty. (No idea what this about ? Read up on it, you will want to use this !)

Bear in mind, that I am not 100% sure that it will work on ALL Galaxy S4 devices (I mean not trigger it).
Also bear in mind that OTA (Over the air update) will NOT work, it will return the message "Phone was been personalized."
Although, Kies sees it. Also make sure you don't have Knox mode activated or installed.
LATER EDIT:
I see that Triangle Away is only for the Qualcomm Galaxy S4 (9505). That means that you can't, at this moment, reset the flash counter. There are basically two things to worry about:
- Knox Flag -> as which seems so, I avoided it by installing that CF-Auto-Root on my 9505. I am not sure about avoiding it on 9500, but it should work.
- Flash Counter -> it raises everything you flash something via download mode. If it's 0, in Settings > About Phone > Status >Phone Status, it will return "Original" or something. If it's anything else than 0 (like 1, which I currently have cause I re-flashed root due to some tiny problem), it will return "personalized" or something like it. That will still void warranty IF the phone is sent to warranty like that, but will NOT trigger Knox. Also that will stop OTA Updates from working, but Kies updates will work (for some reason, samsung bug, use it ).
I have no idea how to help you regarding that Flash Counter on the 9500.

Thanks again.
I just hav to avoid to take the risk and prevent warranty void,the answer is not to root at the moment.
Thanks gain:good:
I searched the internet to find a solution , i was unable to find a solution that was directly linked to my problem or concern i would say. To get on with it i have a n900(Yeah i know dev support suks). I am completely stock and knox warranty is also valid(=0). I recently wanted to flash custom roms and kernels. I have about 2 months of warranty left on this phone, so what do you guys suggest?. The system status will certainly change to 'custom'. Is there a way to restore it back to official , like can u find official recovery of the n900. I just want that if i ever want to sell it, everything except for knox is reset back to normal. Thanks!
No. You can't. I suggest you to wait.
If you want root use towelroot.
If you want a custom recovery use safestrap
Both app don't alterate knox.
I will flash a custom kernel when cm12 will be out for our phone
Once you trip KNOX, it's done and can't be changed. If I recall correctly, there have been experimental tests done for Exynos version of Note 3 in order to reset KNOX flag, but I can't remember the result (may be wrong).
As for System Status and Current Binary, these can be reset to Official via Triangle Away, if you got stock kernel and recovery. You can flash stock firmware via ODIN to get these.

On n900 exynos you can reset knox flashing a particular kernel. (I don't know if it works now)

- Flashing custom rom/kernel will trip the Knox.
- The Knox can be reset on N900 (I don't remember where is the instruction).
- Flashing the stock firmware will restore the system status to official.
Hello,
after flashing the official firmware for my country (latest lollipop) i have a custom device status. I know its because of that i was running a custom rom in the past.
Now i tried to reset the flash counter with Triangle Away, but no luck. (after powering on the device after 10 seconds, device boot directly to the os).
Is there an other way to set my device back to official again? I like to have a ota update haha.
Why don't you just flash the firmware with Odin?
I did. but still says modified.
You can't get the device status back. Once knox is tripped it's tripped for good. Things like Triangle Away just hides it.
I don't think you will be able to get OTA. Not that Samsung offers lots of updates..
