hello all,
I have recently bought a used samsung s4 ( GT-i9505 ) which was rooted on android firmware 4.2.2 (***MGA) and worked perfectly. When i unrooted and upgraded it on 4.3 ( ***MKF) , the phone suddenly starts freezing and reboot even thought it is in a safe mode! either the sdcard was being unmounted or i wiped data the problem exists! the phone stops responding and reboot! ( No 3rdparty apps is installed )
The producedure which i followed to unroot it and upgraded was:
1.i used triangle away to reset counter
2.i used odin 3.09 to flash the new android which i downloaded from sammobile.com
3.after firmware installation, i made a wipe data/cache
In short, my phone status goes back to "official" and the cpuz utility root status goes back to "no rooted"
Do you have any ideas about the solution? did i make anything wrong in firmware installation?
my phone is going to be useless, it's rebooting every 10-15 minutes.
Please either anyone knows or have any ideas about my issue let me informed making me a comment...
thank you!
Same issue
Hi im having the same problem have you been able to fix this?

Did you factory reset it?if you didn't of course you will encounter problems,also check the rom you downloaded maybe it is not complete or flash a newer version
So I initially rooted my Sprint S5 using the old fashioned way, which tripped my Knox flag seen at bootup in Odin mode. That part I cannot seem to get reset (going to try Triangle Away shortly).
However I now have it reloaded using the Samsung Kies Windows program with the latest firmware, and in the phone settings Device Status where it used to say "Custom" it now again says "Official". I first tried to use Odin to put the stock firmware image back on, which did not help at all.
I went into Kies version 3.2.14072_12 with my S5 plugged in and clicked Tools menu -> Firmware upgrade and initialization". It may ask you for model and serial number, which I put in for mine just fine, and then it launched saying the device will be initialized to original settings. However this is different from doing factory reset from within the phone. It reboots to odin and then recovery and performs a handful of things. When it completed I had to re-setup a bunch of things, but the phone basically unrooted itself without me telling SuperSU to do an unroot. I ran supersu and it said it couldnt run on an unrooted phone... So I checked the About info in settings and voila, back to Official status, and OTA updates work again!
Unfortunately the knox flag didnt un-set, but Im less worried about that and more worried about missing enhancement OTA patches and updates - well I was before I will update here if that Triangle program can reset the counter. I thought that counter was a hard-wired fuse piece of hardware, not flash memory, so Im not sure that it can be done, but worth a try. Hope this works for everyone and Good Luck!!
This is already known.... And FYI no known method can reset the Knox counter.

I have an i9505 device that is on stock rom and kernel. Never been flashed with other roms or has had any other kernels or recoveries ever installed. Has been rooted twice. I wish to temporarily disable the root to update via OTA. Is this possible? I do not wish to update via KIES or install via ODIN. I run the stock lollipop update.

No. Rooting your device means change the OFFICIAL state of your device to MODIFIED.
You should follow this steps:
1- (Being rooted now) Use the Triangle Away APP for change the device state of CUSTOM to OFFICIAL.
2- Backup your intenal data and factory reset your device:
- From your home screen press the apps icon in the lower right corner.
- Find and press the settings icon.
- In the upper end of the screen press the accounts tab.
- in the bottom of the next screen press the Backup and reset button.
- Press the factory data reset.
- Read the info on your cell phone screen and hit Reset device.
3- I think you will be able to receive OTA Updates then.
Some time ago , when i had KitKat on my I9505 , beeing rooted ,i've managed to change the phone status from MODIFIED ti OFFICIAL with Xposed app.After doing this it started to recive updates via OTA without doing anything else.The problem back then was that i've also had installde TW recovery so...the update downloaded itself but it couldn't install.
In your case i guess it is enough to get the phone status to show OFFICIAL...
Edit : what i forgot to say is that Xposed doesn-t work on official 5.0.1 so ..you'll have to find another method for getting OFFICIAL status.
I got a galaxy note 3 from my friend who does not like the idea of rooted phone.
Any ways, my friend gave me the phone after factory resetting phone.
When I logged in to Play Store using my google account, it automatically started updating apps (google apps, samsung apps). But during that process SuperSU got installed as well.
After that I realized that when I checked the Device Status it said "Custom".
And now I can't update the phone to lollipop because the "Device has been modified..."
This phone is SMN900W8 from Bell (Canadian).
When I first got the I did not see SuperSU after factory reset, but now superSu is always there even after factory reset.
Unfortunately I do not know the full history of this phone and obviously I am having some trouble understanding what is going on here so, here's my questions:
0. Base on the information above is it more likely that the phone was already modified?
1. If I downloaded SuperSU through Play Store on my other rooted device, is this kind of behavior expected as describe above?
2. Does installing the SuperSU make my Device Status "Custom"?
3. Since " I " have not rooted the phone is there a way to change back the Device Status from "Custom" or is flash a stock firmware the best option?
4. I want to upgrade to Android v.5.0 from Android v.4.4.2 before rooting my phone. I was thinking that I should flash stock firmware, use software update to android v.5.0 then use CF-Auto-root to root my Galaxy Note 3. Does that sound ideal, or is there some better way?
It all started when I rooted my phone (Samsung J5 2016 - SM-J510FN), installed TWRP through Odin, did a reset and flashed Extreme UX (9.0). Everything worked so as a noob I decide to turn off USB Debugging and OEM Unlock. I reboot my phone and get the message "Custom Binary blocked by FRP". So I decide to look up how to fix it. Kies didn't work so I go through sammobile and download the Stock ROM. I searched SM-J510FN and filtered for my country (Greece). I downloaded the first ROM I found and flashed it through Odin. I was really excited. Then I unlock my phone. I get dozens of popup messages of "x has stopped working" and the launcher wasn't working properly. I would appreciate any help. Is it a firmware problem? Should I do a hard reset and try installing stock again? Thanks.

Doing factory data reset should clear out those errors
Thanks for your answer. I don't really know how to do a factory reset because I can't access the device's settings.
Anyone that knows how to do a factory reset without accessing the device's settings?
