Hey guys,
I've searched many times before creating that thread, but found nothing about my question
A while ago, i've rooted my G900F with build number LRX21T.G900FXX1BOB7 .. Now i want to un-root it to be able to get OTA updates, cuz now whenever i try to update, it tells me that the OS on my device has been modified in an unauthorized way.
So, can anyone provide me with the stock kernel for my build? or maybe tell me how to extract it from a stock rom?
Just flash the same stock ROM from sammobile over the top with ODIN
You won't lose anything, but it will return the phone to Official status and allow OTA

Thanks for the fast replay! but are u 100% sure that i won't lose ANYTHING from the device data? cuz there are some important things there ..
If so, are there any options that i should check / un-check in odin ?

Obviously back up anything important before doing anything like this, but yea, it's how I update OTA after rooting / TWRP
I flash the same ROM over the top, boot into Android, update OTA, then root and TWRP again
No options to change in ODIN, leave it default

Sorry if im posting a tread that has already been up but I am new to the Android world and need help. I recently got a Galaxy S4 and after a month I rooted the phone. I didn't do much but use the Root for freedom only and then found out that I can't get OTA updates since my device is modified. So i unrooted my phone and tried to do a software update and it still says my phone has been modified. therefore i backed up all my data and did a factory reset. as soon as the factory reset was done the first thing i did was check for a system update and it still says my phone is modified and can't receive any updates. I am so confused and need help. I really want to be able to get software updates and even if there is none currently i still wish to receive them in the future. someone please help. and sorry if i reposted a thread.

hi all, as you can tell, im a noob well, I have a samsung galaxy s4 gti9505 that I rooted with odin WHEN I had a pc, and it just so happens, whenever I root an android, it works but then things start to go wrong like lagging, freezing, drainage of the battery really fast ect. So this time I decided to google how to unroot my phone without a pc to fix my problem. I did that using super su or something which had the unroot option witch I did successfully. But just a few moments ago, I was just checking to see if there were any updates available for my phone because my camera decided to stop working, (well the camera works but when trying to record, a pop-up box appears saying camera failed). So when I tried to update, it said that I cant update because my phone is modified, now as stated above, I am a noob to this subject so please be patient with me trying to comprehend the technical terms use will use hahaha. Can someone please explain to me if it is possible to change the status from custom to normal without the help of a computer? Thanks in advance
help meeh please
Can anyone help?
I don't understand why you want to return back to stock without computer/laptop. In any case following instruction will help you to return your S4 back to stock:
1.First you need to download official firmware for your region from this site: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
2. Second upload it to phone with Odin http://www.andromint.com/download-odin-latest-version/
If needed you can also use Triangle away to reset custom flash count.
That's all...
.
Dear all,
I have a similar question.
I've rooted my i9500. I wonder is there any way to roll back my phone like Triangel Away etc. I mean in case of any guarantee situation.
As far as understand, as of now no way to reset.
I hope someone can find a way to reset everyhing to get warranty back.

You don't need to un-root before flash ... you will for sure lose root anyway

Is there any way i can download at more than 200KB's?
http://puu.sh/4YTbL.png
Cause the captcha for the rom download on the link says it's wrong even when i type it right..
I must do something wrong here, because it's not working for me.
I followed the instructions and device still says it is modified and it will not check for updates from samsung.
What is my next step?
Procedure so far:
Gained root acces with ODIN
I did not flash a custom rom.
Used Triangle away to reset counter (counter checked 0 afterwards)
Flashed Galaxy stock firmware downloaded from internet (PHN-I9505XXUDMHB-20130922121848.zip unpacked this once) with ODIN
Furthermore, regarding KNOX reading:
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0X0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0X1
(I suppose the latter means Samsung still is able to see I did something)
Would a hard reset solve this issue do you think?
hi all
i am in a pickle and dont no alot about phones
so about a month or so ago i rooted my Note 3 (australina one sm-N9005) and then couldnt get the software i wanted ,which is LOLLIPOP because i didnt know how lol, so i managed to unroot the phone but in the "Device Status "part of the phone it now says "Custom"
and will not let me update OTA. it is running KitKat 4.4.2 but i thought there was an updated version out.
but my question is ,how do i change it to go back to being able to update ota without bricking it ? and i DONT have an sd card in the phone
i would love to put my own software on it but thats a bit advanced,unless you guys no any good firmwares that would be good to put on them?

Samsung are at least a month away from pushing the update Over The Air (OTA), you have to flash it with Odin. It doesn't matter if it says Custom, if you rooted it with Chainfire's autoroot, your warranty is void, anyway.

Odin doesn't care about the system status. What matters is that you need the drivers, the firmware, and most importantly - your phone must be SM-N9005.
And what the **** do you mean "highlighted in Odin"?
In Odin you load the files as designated in the tutorial (without the .pit file, you don't need it), only "F. Reset Time" and "Auto Reboot" must be ticked, your phone in Download mode, you hit Start, and wait about 10-15 minutes.
Your phone will boot and you'll want to gouge your eyes out with all this f***ing white all over the UI, it's disgusting.
What's more disgusting is that despite the hideous UI color scheme, Samsung made the battery life better.
And yet again: once your warranty is void, it doesn't really matter what your system status is, especially if you intend to root and flash things.
Like, really.
Stop mentioning the system status.
It doesn't matter.

I'd update via ODIN, then flash CF Auto Root and TWRP again afterwards
Flashing stock firmware will remove root and twrp

Ok,thanks,so no need for backup personal data.
You *should* back it up even if you don't have to.......
If you get the "worst case scenario" and you don't manage to get a successful flash (it can happen), you might need to wipe data before or after a second (or third) attempt to flash.......
Not worth the risk of NOT backing up imo......
Always good practice to make backups.....

Yes, your flash count will increase, and factory resetting is likely to delete all your 'user installed' apps and passwords etc, but shouldn't cause any problems for the device firmware.....

Pokmemon Go/ Uninstalled Kingroot and derooted boot screen custom & gear icon on boot
Hi, so a while ago I tried using kingroot and installed it for a little bit and used root to uninstall some factory installed apps like amazon, etc. then when i decided i did not want root anymore. i used the kingroot app to remove root and then uninstalled the kingroot application.
then i downloaded a root checker app to see if i was rooted. i was not.
now whenever i boot up my phone it says samsung and then the word custom with a gear icon below it.
now when i tried the newest version of pokemon go version 0.37.0 it says it cannot run on my device cause apparently it thinks i am rooted.
is there anyway to solve this? other than a factory reset?
I don't think a factory reset would help either.
You'd have to delete every trace of root left on your device, and kingroot probably left some files behind.
Unless you can find them, the most sure method is to flash another ROM (stock) though Odin.
I believe a custom kernel would also work, or the stock boot.img of your current ROM.

The ROM you can get from Sammobile. As for the files left behind, I don't know how kingroot handles those, but to access and delete them you would have to be rooted.

I already told you that a factory reset does not unroot.
If you want to completely unroot, flash the stock ROM.
If you don't want that, downgrade to Pokémon version 0.35.
0.37 has not even been officially released yet. I mean, I don't even have it on the play store and it's the same for many others.
PS: Xposed also needs root.

You don't need a pit file. And if the files are wrong, the instalation will just fail.
If that's the firmware you had previously, then it's ok.
