Sorry if this is a noob question but I've been away for a while...
I flashed TWRP and rooted my S7 Edge, I also disabled encryption in the process and, of course, tripped the knox counter.
If I download the latest stock fw for my country from sammobile and flash it through ODIN I know it will not reset the counter but will it re-enable encryption of my device?

Yes. Device will be wiped and encrypted again. Just make sure you use CSC and not HOME_CSC. HOME_CSC doesn't wipe the device, which is what you need to become encrypted.

Hi, i have note 3 sm n9005 or something and rooted my phone for some stupid reason, its still on stock the only thing that i think happened was i have supersu, i paniced and factory reset, now supersu has a error thing with something to do with binary settings or something. All i want to do it fully reset my phone, if its any help im british with EE... does flashing supersu trip knox counter? Am i actually rooted for if i were to flash stock? Will that trip it? Iv knly had phone few months and im scared... if i flash stock can i then update legally coz i cant update because the device is modified? I used odin... can someone help please, i know nothing and yes, i should look into what im doing more before hand. Can you explain everything and what to do please? Every little thing, please and without tripping knox and as if it was out the box new. Please
Firstly, flashing SuperSU trips KNOX. In the first place, to install SuperSU you need a custom recovery which would ALSO trip KNOX. Flashing back to stock unroots your phone too.
If you are convinced that you have not tripped KNOX, just re flash your phone back to stock with ODIN.

Flashing stock will get rid of SuperSU and root but you cannot reset KNOX. It is permanently 0x1 and will always be.

What about the fact i factory reset? Is it still rooted to flash stock? And doesnt it have to be a unrooted stocked rather than flashing rooted stock? And where do i got stock and do i need to unzip files and stuff?

Reboot in download mode I. E. Volume down+home+power, check the knox counter if it's 0x1 then it has already been tripped and you have been set free ?? and if it's 0x0 you are still locked in a cage.
Report back with what you see.

I know i have done something coz when i want to update it says this device has been modified. But i havent flashed any roms so surely knox should be 0x0 and flashing stock keeps it 0x0 doesnt it?

Yes, if your Knox is still 0x0, flashing stock keeps it 0x0.
Use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app to check for the Knox Warranty Void status (in the GENERAL INFO section).
Hello folks,
today I flashed official Lollipop 5.0.1 via ODIN on my N910-F and accidently tripped my KNOX Counter. So be careful if you do not want to void your warranty.
My phone is carrier branded DTM (T-Mobile) and had latest OTA firmware 4.4.4 *ANK4 on it. Back when i did buy my device I decided to debrand my phone as soon as Lollipop comes out.
So I did and flashed in one step from KitKat (T-Mobile) to Lollipop (Open). From what I read a assumed it would be no problem because it's a newer build but in some way it tripped my Knox Counter to 0x1 (3).
I did use Odin 3.09 as suggested by sammobile but ended up with an error (Fail) at the end of the flashing procedure. I downloaded Odin 3.10 and reflashed without any problems. This might be also considered as a reason for tripping the counter (as it says 3). I checked my counter after 2 factory resets afterwards.
Now I'm actually good to root I guess. Be careful.
EDIT: When I'm performing a factory reset from within the ROM it fails with "dm-verity verification failed..." message and takes me to the Android system recovery. From there I can do the factory reset. I think there is something gone wrong. Ideas on that message?

I never heard of this? You tripped Knox with the official firmware? Did you maybe have the wrong options selected in Odin, as you would be the first who is able to trip Knox with official firmware???
I don't know why it tripped it. I haven't tripped it even after using Z3X box.
Everytime I use a firmware from sammobile it never tripped any counter of my phones.

Had standard options selected which are "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time".
I might think the trip is not caused by flashing but performing a factory reset afterwards which results in "dm-verity verification failed..." message in the recovery menu. From what I know this error is caused by root which I didn't.
Update: Device is now working as supposed. After two failed attempts to flash the firmware via Kies new it worked on a third time. No error on factory reset.
My assumption is that there went something horribly wrong on first time flashing the firmware via ODIN, which preventet the factory reset from performing as usual. Knox detected that inexplicable status and graded it as modified which tripped the Knox counter then. I have no other explanation for this, maybe the 0.01% got real in my case.
So, a long time ago I towelrooted my gs5 on 4.4.2 and just left it like that (no custom rom , kernel, or bootloader). I recently upgraded to an N6 and would like to sell the old phone now. I'm trying to return to stock, but my craptop died and I'm not able to Odin a stock .tar file. I've already used 'full unroot' in SU, but I'm still showing 'Custom' status. I can't OTA and I can't find a stock rom to flash from the factory recovery, so are there any other options I'm missing?
Thanks in advance!
Just factory reset it from stock recovery

Thanks for the reply. I actually tried factory resetting through the settings menu and the stock recovery. Both leave me with a 'custom' status and unable to OTA.
I'd suggest using ODIN to flash a stock ROM from sammobile dot com, but with it being Verizon, it's likely got a locked bootloader, and I'm not sure if you can flash anything with ODIN when the bootloader is locked, worth a try though, it'll just fail with an AUTH! if it doesn't work
Instructions are under the download on their site

[Sorted out] I did not root, however my s7 edge does not allow me to use s health claiming root after reinstalat stock via odin. Any solution for that?
Did you trip the Knox counter? If you did, there's no way back
The knox was changed, but I wonder how could that be that it was a stock rom?

Did you install TWRP or made any changes in the bootloader.
Once the boot loader has been modified in any way. \it will trip knox.
No. I just reinstalled stock via odin, there was no twrp installation.

why did you have reinstall stock /
if you have reinstall stock that means something was done to your phone, which caused your phone to think knox is tripped.
So what happened that you ned to reflash your phone ?
System crashes with crashes
Are you the original owner of this phone?
If you try to root it or install anything non-Samsung, it will trip knox and there is no turning back.
Flashing Samsung ROMs via Odin won't trip knox....
I'm his first owner. I saw in a post that it is possible to continue using s health if dowgrade to marshmallow and then upgrade via OTA to 7.0. Do you know if it's possible?

I think you just have to add or modify a line in system/build.prop and it will work. For that, you have to be rooted.
Take a look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-s-health-devices-knox-t3543306
Sorted out. I was able to reuse the app by going back to 6.0 via odin, configuring the app and upgrading via OTA to 7.0

I have a feeling because Knox counter is tripped, it is failing to encrypt, Use Odin and flash device back to factory condition. I have a feeling the Knox being tripped is your issue here.
