Enabling OTA Updates after unrooting - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

hey guys, i done something really bad and tried to root my device (with odin and twrp ,supersu ) and at that time i had no idea of knox counter :crying: (website that has these tutorial, i think must say about this :crying: )
anyway yesterday i unrooted my phone using unroot option and i restore default recovery.
so right now is there anyway to restore ota updates?
does flashing to stock framework make any change?
or you have any other idea.
thanks

Don't think it will work , you need root for s health because knox is tripped but then you don't get any ota update.

[Q] Problem with ROOT, ROM and Recovery

Hi,
I was in doubt between doing or not doing the ROOT in my Galaxy S4 4G (GT-I9505)...
But I tried to start doing it.
I asked a friend who had already made it on his device!
At first he tried to install the recovery, so I would not lose my S4.
He used the Odin as he did for himself, but it faild. So I gave up doing te ROOT and we stopped.
Ok then, but today I looked for an upgrade original from Samsung on my device. But it said:
"Your device was modified. Upgrades are not available."
What can I do now?? I need to reset it to the original form or finish the ROOT successfully.
And I can't even put my device on recovery mode! It fails.
Please, help me!
I don't know what to do and this is my first post.
Ps.: out of this problem, my device is functioning normally.
Thank you!

Do you need root, is there something you can`t do without root atm or do you want to remove useless/unneeded stuff?
Better read up about rooting, flashing, recovery`s, roms and Odin so you`ll know what the (dis)advantages, risks and benefits are before you get into trouble
Do the following for now:
1. Download CF Auto Root from here http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip and extract it once with 7-zip.
2. Download Odin 3.04 http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168422&d=1341114468.
3.Enable usb debugging and disable Kies (also in windows task manager)
4. Place the extracted CF Root md5 file in Odin in the PDA section.
5. Put he phone in downloadmode (turn off the phone and then press volume down first and then the power button)
6. Connect to pc and and press start if you see ID;COM light up and you see a com number.
Reboot and you have root. Also install Busybox from Google Play.

By now I just need to get my normal Rom to recieve Samsung's upgrades!
What can I do to reverse it!?
I thought I did nothing, because it faild, but something happened...
And now I cant put on recovery mode!
I'm afraid to do anything!
Can I undo all of these and have my normal original rom without root?
and if I reset it, will I lose all my stuff?
It says on the "about":
"Device's Status: personalize"
It doesnt say its modified!
but when I look for upgrade it says...

Do as said in the post above first. Then install Triangle Away and use that to reset the counter, when its done go straight to downloadmode and reflash the rom you have now with Odin 3.04, after it boots do a data factory reset and you`re fully stock with everything Official.

Yes, you can go back.
The easiest way is to flash a stock ROM via Odin, search for the ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252855 and follow the instructions.

Have followed instructions to un root my phone with the original stock firmware but odin fails to do the trick.
Now when i turn on the phone i get the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
Kies 3 does not recognise my device now so any help will be much appreciated

Did you install a recovery and did you do any backup?
Can you set factory settings?
What error does ODIN give you?

Sorry i closed ODIN before reading the error.
Ive recovered the phone using recovery.tar.md5 and my phone works again, However all the stock apps have reapeared and updated themselves.
I have gone into my Titanium Backup app to uninstall them again but it says "Error could not acquire root privilages"
Many thanks

As you did a stock recovery of course the stock apps are recovered also.
Titanium Backup requires root access.
It's a good thing you got your phone working again.
I recommend you do a nandroid backup of your phone if you are going to do this stuff again.

So do hard reset, you have nothing to lose. If it doesn't work, download stock rom from sammobile and install it.
I restored the original system and it worked. thank you:good:

1st Question, I bought my G530H from a Telco Company and when you turn ON the phone it has a Telco animation boot... does this method can remove that also? because it's sucks...
2nd Question, My phone is rooted, does this method will remove it? or any files and messages? because It sounds like It would reformat my phone....
THanks in advance!

I dont know whether it would remove the boot animation or not.. But theoretically speaking.. It should.
And yeah. It will remove the root. But It wont delete anything on your device. But it is always preferred to do a factory reset before flashing a new firmware. Or you might run into some problems later.
So, If you are planning on flashing it, Be sure to backup everything before you do. Precaution is better than regret.

That's great if the boot animation will removed but if the root is removed then if I root it again, I think the auto-recovery mode could happen again. Is there other method of rooting this device?

No. There aint any other method. But some people who installed the custom recovery after rooting didnt suffer this problem. Maybe installing custom recovery can end it.

I'll try installing custom recovery... but I'll still proceed flashing new stock rom to remove the boot animation...
currently I'm backing up my new user+system apps and newer versions... I should paste it to my computer right?
can't I just restore my root just by restoring my back ups?

Be sure to make App backup by using titanium backup. Thats the best app for backing up apps.
I have no Idea. I had kazhkistan firmware before. And Now I have indian firmware. Even though I am not from any of these countries. It worked for me at least. So, since you have the same 530H. Theoretically It should work for you too. I dont know.:silly:

You need to download Odin, then download one of the recent firmwares like PD8 etc. Put your phone in download mode, hook it to your computer, open Odin, click AP then pick the firmware file you downloaded and hit start.
You should have Odin from when you rooted and you can find the firmware file on the forum here. Just search for PD8 or PG1.
You soft bricked your device. no big deal Samsung makes it fairly easy to fix. Download Smart Switch to your computer and use the Emergency Software Recovery/ initialization process to recover your device. You will have to re initialize your device and you will lose everything on your internal storage but your phone will be fine.
Again the root method discovered uses an ENG boot and is not meant for every day use it is not true root and will always cause more issues than it is worth.
