Hi to all passing by this query,
I wanted to know if reflashing my stock lollipop rom for J5 again will change my device status from custom to official, as it is currently custom - rooted my phone and now I want to get it back to normal whatever it takes.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, just flash stock firmware and everything will go back to official.

I think you need to reflash the entire ROM from factory reset.

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!

There are couple of people i have seen including mine saying custom after flashing the Stock however try to reset once again and see, if not again flash a firmware and reset u will get Official
U may also use Triangle away to reset the binary Counter & Custom status it works for I9505

Hey People,
i previously rooted my phone on stock firmware along with changing the kernel. I have no restored and removed root back to stock but i get this message when doing a OTA update as i need the latest update to enable 4G on my phone. It says Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available. How do i go about fixing this? I have done some research and used the triangle app to reset the flash counter which now says Official rather then Custom In download mode? If i flash the firmware does it automatically Re flash my Kernel or is that separate? I have looked for the stock i9505 kernel i Just cant seem to find it.
Will appreciate the help
Thanks

flash stock firmware, stock kernel included
It's normal that it says that. Just install Xposed framework, then Wanam Xposed, there is an option to fake the system status as official and thus you'll be able to update firmware OTA.

Thank you for your answer, but unfortunately I can't use Kies since I use Linux and there is no Kies for Linux. May be another solution like adb?

I wiped the data, without success, then I flashed everything again with Heindall 1.4.0, then wiped everything again. Now I have official status and should receive OTA updates.
Edit: but after rooting the official status is lost. Now I think this may be normal.
I have galaxy s4 and wanted to reset flash counter with triangle away . After doing all the steps and I rebooted the phone the triangle away flash counter still show 9 . How come ? Why does it still show 9 and not 1 ?
Any help will be appreciated .
It will most likely be because you're not using stock recovery or kernel

It won't work you must have stock kernel, stock recovery
You need to flash pre-rooted stock fw with odin, then use triangle away to reset counter. After that you can flash non rooted stock fw with odin to get your phone back to stock, if that is what you want.

Yes, its stock samsung firmware but it is already rooted, so you can use triangle away.

Make sure that you absolutely know what you are doing, I dont want you to brick your deivce or trip knox flag.
If you are still with fw that has OLD bootloader without knox flag, then you can use this one: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23050663588004454
But if you already have bootloader with knox, then I am not one to help you. After reseting my counter and flashing stock fw, I ota updated my phone to newer fw that has knox bootloader and I've been with stock since then.
Oh and btw, you have i9505 right?

Hi All,
My S4 is indicating custum device status, while I'm using official Samsung firmware, I've just updated it to 4.3 using Kies.
Does anyone have idea concerning this issue.
I saw in some threads that this is due to SD card, but I'm not using any sd card.
Thanks.
You have Custom rom, or Custom recovery

If your getting annoyed with this one try to flash a pre-rooted rom from djembey's thread and once your done install the triangle away to reset the binary and that should fix your problem and if you really want a stock rom then flash the stock rom from samsung and everything should be fine. have a nice day.

Try to switch of your phone and boot to download mode.(press vol down+home+power button and after that vol up to continue)
see you knox status 0x0 or 0x1. You said its been modified means you knox is 0x1-warranty void.
It is useless to flash stock rom when your knox is 0x1, it will stay like that until a developers can figure it out.
Alternative way is to install wanam exposed, it can set your phone from custom to official.
By the way, are you buying new phone or used phone? if it new its weird coz been rooted.
Did you buy it in a store? We`re the seals intact or broken when you got it, maybe they gave you a refurbished one that still had root? As said above you`re warranty is gone anyway so flash away bro
Nope I didnt buy from official store. and knox status is 0x1. Im not worried about the warranty because I have 2 years from the place where i bought it.. They have to deal with the place they have bought it to resell. I just want to flash this device and remove the root.. how can i do that? Thanks
Just flash a stock ROM... Make sure to do a complete wipe..

No, impossible as you have KK bootloader. It will just hang at the samsung screen and get REALLY hot if you flash a JB rom...
Thanks for all the help.. device flashed and root removed. CHEERS!!!
PS: Can i Flash any kitkat rom available ?
