The air command is active. When I undock pen, the air command menu appears. The pen was working fine before the lollipop upgrade, I think it was working on 4.4.2.
It was OTA which automatically downloaded and installed. How the OTA becomes corrupt about S pen? If I download another stock ROM, should it work?

I am begging you guys to not get that OTA route of upgrade, please. Download the ROM you want from sammobile.com and flash via Odin. Before doing all the do a FULL WIPE (not that darn factory reset thing under settings).
Then come back here and report, it is possible that there is a problem with the Wacom digitizer, or the S Pen itself has gone kaput, but you gotta try before confirming that.
Plz tell me if I download ROM via sammobile then if I use Odin, will it change my device status from official to any other one?
Thanks for your reply and support.

flashing via Odin might get your knox warranty to 0x1 so if your phone is new it can void the warranty

Yes, there are people who don't give a damn about warranty, my message was meant for them obviously. And there are places too where Samsung will still service your phone regardless of KNOX status.
Warranty is not the issue for me. I only want stock ROM and OTA updates enable over it. Up till now its enabled. As I said earlier that I upgraded lollipop via OTA and that might be the issue of S pen.
By using Odin I believe that I will receive OTAs as well if I downgrade my cell to 4.4.2.
But definitely as you said, I will get the stock lollipop from sammobile and will flush via Odin.
By the way what is the KNOX mean or abbreviation? Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
I have flushed lollipop stock version via Odin and no use. The issue persist as S Pen is not working.
Please let me know what to do next?

Hey everyone,
I flashed the leaked 4.3 firmware with the 4.3 kernel and everything worked well except it drained battery way too quickly. I just flashed back to stock XXMEA firmware and did a factory reset. Everything is working perfect except under Device Status it says 'Custom' and when I plug the phone into Kies it won't check for updates. It says something about the device unable to initialize or something .
Does anyone know how I can get the firmware back to 'official' status and receive OTA updates?
The CSC is back to normal (XSA), the Kernel is back to nornal and obviously the firmware is back to normal. Any help appreciated immensely!

Hi guys, I recently flashed the latest update on my i9500 (the one that enables you to move apps to sd) I downloaded the update and flashed it using Odin. But I can no longer do an OTA update, whenever I check it says something like "Device is modified unable to update". It also says under device status as "Custom". BTw, I completely wiped my device but the flashed update still remains. I rooted BTw and using persues kernel if it matters.

Go to sammobile.com and find the firmware of your region and flash it.
Sent from my GT-I9500
Did you used to be rooted before you flashed the update with Odin?
In that case you'll probably have to re-root your device, run Triangle Away by chainfire to reset the counter and then flash the latest official firmware from sammobile. That ought to get you back to official status.

No, I rooted straight away after I flashed the update. So I can just run triangle away and flash the firmware for my region?

Worth a shot. It'd be interesting to see if it's even increased the counter. But.. if the right firmware isn't available on sammobile yet.. what'd you flash? And where did you get it?
Hi,
There is no Triangle Away for the i9500.
Once you root it ,there is no way to get it back to "Official"
Hence, you cannot get OTA
To get the firmware you want,look HERE

Yeah just bought it and quickly refunded as soon as I found d out its incompatible so does this mean I have to flash all the future update? Or wait for triangle away to be compatible I guess.

Djembey has an official status mod that u can use to stay rooted but have official status. I have done this on the latest rom for I9500, and it works. My device and binary status are still official, OTA works, and I am rooted.. You may need to flash the mod a couple of times and factory reset/wipe cache, but this works 100%.

Yes, thats true. My understanding is that using triangle away may become relevant when you want to return your phone to Samsung for warranty, but until then this method works perfectly for making the phone run almost like a stock unrooted phone.
Hello all
Last week I flashed my GT-I9505 a CyanogenMod 10.2 and thus voided my warranty (Knox is 0x1).
Now I regret doing it and I wanna badly go back to stock rom and receive Kies and OTA updates from Samsung and so on.
Is there a way to come back to stock rom 4.3 after I tripped the Knox flag and receive updates?
I heard that when you try to flash stock rom after Knox is 0x1 you gonna brick your device.
Please help.
Thanks in advance
Nothing to worry dear you can go back to stock and you will get OTA also and if done properly unroot you will not brick device

Thanks for the quick reply.
I do worry a lot because this device cost me a lot.
What are the steps to unroot safely and goto 4.3 with OTA and KIES updates?
Just as I would do if I were on stock? Put the file in PDA and all the normal steps?
Or do I need to do something extra now?

knox is so they can see when you send your device in that the warrenty is void.
other than that knox does not bother you (apart from downgrading baseband)

Good, thanks.
Now I wanted to ask you one more question.
As you know, there are roms which do not include Knox in their bootloader. Examples of these are Phoenix and Arrow roms.
What I wanted to ask is if I decide to install one of these roms which does not include Knox, will it delete the Knox out of my bootloader? And on the next time I will install stock rom 4.3 it will show Knox 0x0 as if it were never there?
Thanks
One vital step has been missed if you want to receive OTA: You must reset flash counter using Triangle Away app.

There are a few unconfirmed reports of people resetting knox, but until its proven i doubt it...
From what is said its impossible to remove, maybe at some point someone will get it cracked, but knox is still new.

Hello everyone,
I have Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 and using CyanogenMod's installer version a few months now.
CyanogenMod's installer has A LOT of problems and I had enough of it and want to go back to stock.
Before I moved to CM I had 4.3 and also Knox bootloader so it went to 0x1 after CM's installation.
I want to ask can I go to stock 4.3 even that my Knox is 0x1?
Do I need to use TriangleAway? If so, how?
I understood that TriangleAway requires Samsung's official kernel but I have the kernel of CM now.
Anyway, what do I need to do?
Thanks in advance

Find your stock rom specifically the one that is your region. If your phone is for example like mine, i9500 XSE which is the first three letters of Indonesia then get that specific stock file.
It's probably around 1.4 gigs. It downloads very slow. After that open Odin flash the stock rom, and your good to go. I've bricked numerous times and all I've done was revert back like this. No problems.
I don't know if you can put the stock rom in your custom recovery and flash it there, I haven't tried it yet just run Odin in administrator mode, insert the stock rom, go into download mode on your phone by pressing - vol and power, then click start.
Wait.
Stock.

I may be wrong on this one but, if you use the auto CF root method I don't think there's a way to use the triangle method.
Therefore you're stuck on Knox. I could be wrong but I'm leaning on 70% being right..

I guess the binary counter is hidden somewhere. And for updates you can get OTA kies updates if you are havin stock recovery. One last thing Triangle away doesnt supports I9500.

Yes it says official but your knox counter might be already 0x01. If so, you won't be able to update your device via Kies anymore. You can always download the updates anyway.

I think you're mistaken with the binary counter. If the binary counter wasn't 0 and showed custom in download mode and settings only then I couldn't update via Kies.

Hi guys I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F in the UK on 4.4.2 KitKat Stock Rom, rooted with towel root and Knox 0x0.
Unfortunately my usb port has damaged today and I cannot charge or connect to PC. I need to send my phone for repair to Samsung under warranty.
I understand they will factory reset my device after repair. So I need to unroot my phone and bring it back to official status without tripping the Knox counter. Can someone advice me how to get it back to official status? thanks
P.s. I did try to unroot it within the chainfire SuperSU app and it did unroot but however when I went to "about" phone to test the software update, it said my phone is modified. So any help here please. Thanks
It's various difficult and dangerous to unroot without the use of a PC. You can try to use mobile ODIN as that appears to be the only solution now.... or take the phone to a 3rd party shop.
What if i unroot within the Superuser app, and do a factory reset from settings, and then a factory reset from stock recovery? Would that do the trick?

No. I tried to unroot using the full unroot button and it unroofed but system was still custom. Have to reflash the stock firmware to get it back to official.

Mobile odin maybe, but not Flashfire as (I believe) with FF, you still need to use odin to flash bootloader and modem after the FF flash. If you are on 4.4.2 Mobile Odin should work, but not for 5.0 if i read correctly......
BUT....
You're in a catch 22 position, if the flash goes bad you can only recover with PC Odin, and at the moment, you can't.....this is entirely your choice, but if it were me, I'd not be risking it.....

I cant seem to find any posts on flashing to stock with mobile odin on any forum.
If i hold the cable in a particular position it connects to pc, but it can disconnect if it moves a tiny bit even.
If i did it via pc odin and the cable disconnected, would that brick the phone aswel?

Thank you, could you please advice me how to do this process, i am not familiar with kernals and mobile odin.
So far i have purchased the mobile odin pro app and downloaded stock firmware from sammobile and put it on the external sd card. And downloaded the kernal from post #13.
Some instructions would be greatful, thank you.
Sent from my SM-G900F using xda premium
Ok...If you purchased the pro version, you won't need that flash kernel as mobile odin will download and install it for you.
The firmware needs to be unzipped to its tar md5 file.
Open the app, let it dl and install the flash kernel then use the in app file explorer to navigate to the firmware file location and select it. It will tell you what partitions have been loaded. Enable all the wipes (very importsnt), uncheck ever root and the option to re install mobile odin.
Then press start.....let Mobile Odin complete the md5 check then it will flash the firmware......
All you have to do is sit back and wait.

Ok...If you purchased the pro version, you won't need that flash kernel as mobile odin will download and install it for you.

Hi mate, i just attempted to use mobile odin now and it gave me a message saying it will trip the knox counter on my device. That seems like it is defeating the purpose of my use? does it trip the Knox counter even when flashing stock firmware? please confirm. thanks
Oh? That's the first I've heard of that.....
I can't answer with any certainty as although I have used Mobile Odin on other devices, I've not yet used it on my S5......
Edit.......
This thread.....

....would indicate that using mobile odin does NOT trip knox......
As far as i was aware, flashing Samsung 'signed' official software will leave knox intact.....it's only if you flash 'unsigned' unauthorised software that knox is triggered.....

Okay so with a big risk i managed to flash stock firmware via pc odin by holding the usb cable tight in position while flashing so now im all official now. Just wondering if the samsung authorised dealer would repair the usb port free under warranty or there would be a charge?

If you live in the EU and you can prove your phone is less than 2 years old, the repair will be covered by the warranty.....
That is the law.....in my phones box, I have a 'warranty card' that states Samsung will comply with this too.....

It *is* hardware, and you could argue that it is reasonable to expect that it should last more than 2 years. It just depends on how it became damaged and whether there are any signs of 'unusual', unexpected damage.....

Just gave my phone in to the authorised samsung dealer, he inspected it and said it seems like a unusual damage, and its 50-50 if samsung will repair it under warranty but fingers crossed.
He also said if samsung see it as a damage than a fault, they will reject to fix it, and it would cost me £33 handling charge to get the phone back to the dealer who i submitted my phone to. So i will know in 5-10 working days.
Thanks
