How to get back with status normal and not modifier sm-n9005

Hello all,
Hope I'm in the right section, I want to go back to status normal on my Gn3 French carrier Orange but with Odin I got everything right and when I check status is still modified. Also Knox guaranty is avoid.
Really needs help as my battery drains too much and I wanted to send it back to get it replaced.
Thanks

To my knowledge, if you install a custom ROM, this will void your warranty by setting the knox counter to (0x1). Others have said they were able to install custom ROMS and the only time the knox counter would trip is when they proceeded to install TWRP. If this is the case, I would recommend installing your carrier ROM for Orange (French) and then changing your CSC settings to the original carrier so it will reset your phone and reboot recognizing the proper ROM. At this point, your Device Status will show "Original".
Hope this helps!

Thanks, I'm downloading it right now, I know my warranty is avoid, how do I know if I have the right CSC?

You will download your original carrier ROM and install through ODIN. Once installed and the phone has rebooted, you want to change the Device Status from "Custom" to "Original". To do this, enter *#272*(IMEI#)# where (IMEI#) is your 15 digit IMEI number found on your box or by dialing *#06# from your dialer. Once in this menu, select the 3 letter CSC which refers to the carrier ROM you just downloaded.
Hope this helps!

You are getting this code I assume when trying to enter the CSC menu through the dialer (*#272*)?? If so, follow this excerpt from my other thread:
There's essentially 3 parts to your Samsung Galaxy Note 3:
PDA, PHONE and CSC. The PDA is the firmware (software) in your device, the phone is the modem (2G/3G/4G/LTE) etc... and the CSC is the Consumer Software Customization.
The PDA is your software the phone is running and your GUI if I can put it that way. The key components of the device are the Phone and CSC. The phone is the modem of the device which communicates with the network for wireless voice and data connectivity. The CSC is the software that configures the communication between your device and carrier specific network when it comes to data speeds and network connectivity.
You should be able to use the method I suggested to change your consumer software customization (CSC). If this does not work, try this:
Boot into TWRP by powering off your device and once off, power on using Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button (all at once). When you see the Galaxy Note 3 logo, let go and it will boot into TWRP. Once in TWRP, press the corresponding buttons to data wipe/factory reset and wipe cache. Once done, press the button to reboot and try the *#272* method. If this does not work, try the following:
This software application will manually force your CSC since you've rooted your device:
Download and install the busy box application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ricson.busybox
The above is needed for the CSC Changer App to work
Once installed, download and install CSC Changer App: http://d-h.st/IpA
Open the CSC Changer app and select “Change CSC”
This will take you directly to the available CSC codes list on your device. Please note that you will be able to see many codes only if your device’s firmware has multi-CSC
Select your desired CSC and tap on “Install” option
You device will now reboot and when it wakes up, it’ll have the new CSC
Hope this helps!

Do you have an external SD card installed? If so, try unmounting it, taking it out and rebooting.

Hi ggblake, tried that too.
I think the only solution I have is to wait for our great devs at XDA to find à fix.

Cellrama your solution is for the rooted devices. Is there a solution without root and keeping the binary counter and knox?

Hello all I did it, my binary and system are back to official, and I can have updates with OTA and kies.
I Was with my MJ1 french rom flashed with Odin and I thought as my Knox is in 0x1, I have nothing to loose and decided to root it again. Downloaded the Chainfire auto root

I Was with my MJ1 french rom flashed with Odin and I thought as my Knox is in 0x1, I have nothing to loose and decided to root it again. Downloaded the Chainfire auto root and flashed it with Odin at some point (ext4. Img) the flash get stuck so I unplugged my phone. I had a message that something in my firmware Was corrupted. So I plugged the phone back it and went to kies , tools, and choosen the first thing which Was something like ( restore urgently the firmware) then I had à pop up asking for my note 3 model, then another pop up asking for the S/N number(under the battery) then putted my phone in download mode as asked by Kies. Once done it downloads my original stock Orange rom and push it to the phone after two or three coffes ( about 20 minutes) my phone restarts as it Was before ( no wipe) and status is back to normal.....

Unfortunately yes but as long as I get the OTA updates or kies that's Ok
And with the official status in Europe the warranty is not void even with knox on 0x1

for me a Kies 3 solution worked. i had already latest rom with 'modified' status, funny enough Kies automatically updated it to the latest (same) version after which 'Official' status was restored. did you try that? not flashing with odin or anything like that...

Hi I get it to work another way, kind of weird way but it's done thanks

C'd u pls clarify this point ?
some point (ext4. Img) the flash get stuck
BR

The Kies method is only good IF you haven't flashed the new bootloaders or your latest stock rom for your region has the new bootloaders...
Doing emergency recovery through kies with the new bootloaders and stock rom for your region having old bootloaders = lots of bootlooping and no recovering to stock firmware. You then need to flash the firmware with the new bootloader via ODIN to get out of the bootloops...

eMMC troubleshooting (mmc_read fail): stuck of boot, loop, unable to flash

Hello from Minsk, Belarus.
I'm using stock 4.4.4 KitKat (KTU84P.G530HXXU2AOE5 — info from recovery mode, i can't copy info from settings, it freezes too fast). Yesterday late evening i was doing some usual things like browsing twitter ribbon, playing PG aaand it started.
Time after trime in PG G530H freezes, it's not an inventon, less than 1GB of ram and week processor make their job. So, PG started to go very slowly and i decided to reboot. After reboot battery percentage changed and i felt, that something went wrong. After a minute or less phone freezed. I restarted it. Than started and endless cirlce of reboots, freezes and pullings off the battery.
Almost at once after buying phone in last april a started using this Siyoteam power brick (portative.by/product/16258) instead of stock. I think it's a good one, i also use it to chrage my lenovo battery (portative.by/product/16414) and even iPad Air. But there is one important thing, it use 2 mA amperage vs 1 mA in stock brick. It charged the phone noticeably faster (maybe twice as fast), but unfortunately it probably caused a problem with internal power parts. After a month ago battery started to discharge faster, so i thoung about buying a new one, but, sure, didn't expect repair with replacement parts or new buying a new phone.
Today i took this battery for a day to test: portative.by/product/21617. There are no battery percentage random change, but freezes and long boots still here.
I know, that G530H is not widly spread phone. So, if you expirienced such problems on grand prime or other SMSG phone: write here, i would greatly appreciate that. Phone is my working tool, and it totally spoiled my activity (
I did not tried wipe data/factory reset yet. Is there any solution to save my data from internal storage in recovery menu or using other method?
Good luck, have a nice day.

I've noticed similar emmc failures on a lot of Samsung devices.
It's imperative that you do not use a charger with a higher amperage than the phone is set up for, you could cause all sorts of issues to the circuitry and electronics
Great thread and thanks for keeping it updated with your findings, it's been informative
Best of luck, let me know how the data dump went!

Flash stock firmware via odin. Many guides for that

Asus zenfone 2 láser Z00TD bricked

Hello thank you so much for taking the time to help me wherever you are.
The problem is that the phone is broken.
The fault started when I wanted to update it and it went out, after a long wait I finally finished updating YouTub and it worked for a day after that the sim 1 did not recognize the card to turn it off to change sim and stayed in an infinite loop .
I want to clarify that my knowledge on phones is to see YouTube and do what they say :laugh::silly:
The first thing I did was install the TPWR 3.0.0 but it was not quite right because the touch did not recognize it well so I had to install version 3.1.0-0 which is the one that is currently installed. Then install sideload and microsd almost all the ROMs on this page and only managed to boot (after 1000 reboots) the optupus and another that I do not remember but both after starting did not recognize the sim or wifi or bluetooth and the camera The quality of the image was very poor. I did the wipe of all the ways that could be wipe format data, then each one separately and sometimes I did before and after and nothing works me still with the problem of constant reboots.
I clarify that I do not speak English and that I am using the Google translator.
Thank you very much forum friends for your help.

try again
You should try to reinstall TWRP to the latest version and then install an official rom and see if it will work.

Hi thanks for responding
Yes I will be, the problem is that to make show me the error 7 and not have how resolve this problem. Now my question is how install the cwm original?

Hola al intentar instalar la ROM me dice que no puede leer el archivo. cannot read 'nombre del archivo como puedo hacer para resolver el el problema

Galaxy S8 ATT Stock SM-G950U wont update.

Question I have Galaxy s8(SM-G950U) w/ G950USQS5CRF5 and Galaxy s8 (SMG-955U) G955USQS5CRF5 Plus both stock ATT.
both phones will not update ota. always says software is up to date.
Checked AT&T site and new firmware G950USQS5CRH1 is available. Also when searching for firmware can never find ATT Version firmware why is that? thanks

This is exactly the problem I was having but maybe for a different reason. I switched to Verizon as a carrier and some of the BYOD updates would no longer allow FW updates.
I solved by pulling the OTA updates directly from this site https://samsung.firmware.science just pick your model and the current FW version you are on and it will show you what is available. I was out of date 2 versions so I did them both although I might have been able to skip. It really does not take long though.
I updated by putting the update.zip on my SD card and power down then booting into download mode Up Volume + Bixby + Power and applied the updated. Note for some reason the process never found my update.zip in the root of the SD card but it times out after a little while from the Blue screen into the bootloader menu and from there I just chose update and navigated to where I put the file. I have applied 2 updates this way with no issues. I am currently up to version G950USQUCRI3 which is not even listed on the ATT site yet.
I hope this helps.

My problem with your method is that it formats data after you update with the zip from firmware science. Is there a way to skip format

I am not sure what you mean by format data. The method I used updated my phone exactly the way that it when I used to get the updates OTA. Nothing was formatted at all.
The recovery loaded the update.zip and is showed the progress in the screen and when it completed reboot, and the apps were optimized. I loaded 2 versions like this back to back and I have been using the phone for a week now with no issues.
---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------
I used the method I a typically do for updates from the SD card is essentially what is documented on their site. I pasted below and added a couple of notes.
Step 1.
Download the desired update file.
Step 2.
If you have an SD card in your phone, put the "update.zip" file on the root of it.
Step 3.
Boot the phone into recovery mode by turning the phone off.
Once it's off, press and hold the Bixby, Volume Up, and Power buttons.
When it turns back on, let go of the Power button but keep the others held down.
Once a blue screen appears, let go of all the buttons.
At this point on my phone I waited until the blue screen timed out (about a minute) and dropped to the recovery menu.
Step 4.
Using the volume keys, navigate to:
"Apply update from SD card" if you have an SD card in your phone.
Step 5.
If you have an SD card, press the Power button and wait for it to finish, then you're done

Thanks VideoRoy I will give that a try.

Sorry in Step 5 I should have said navigate to file and then hit the power button but it is pretty straight forward when you get to that point.
Good luck, I hope it works for you.

Dear VideoRoy, I have same problem with my SM-G950U (S8), in some reson i can never find ATT Version firmware over OTT, and use your methotd and see thet is available 5 updates on firmware.science for my phone. But after instal first update my phone is factory reset like use option wipe data factory reset on recovery mode, phone dont apps optimized when totaly reset phone… Thet its afer first update, i have more 4 updates. If is posible to instal only last updates or you must to install each one in a order?
