For three days I have been unable to reset to Samsung original standard rom.
I wipe the phone by doing a factory reset using the phone options, then I flatten the phone by using odin and XXUDMJ7.tar.md5.
Yet it still say's custom when I put the phone in download mode? is there any tool that will either bring the phone out of this custom rom state or brick the motherboard so that its unreadable?
As a result of being unable to flatten the phone I have no wifi with this this phone now

Yeah it will say custom if you are rooted there's a opinion in wanam will get it off
Have you tripped KNOX? - If you rooted the phone it'll never say Official again, to get the device to show official you need to install Xposed framework and Wanam and change status to official via that.
As for the no WiFi - not too sure, download mode > factory reset > flash Stock ROM > wipe cache > start up and see. only thing I can think of
PS Make sure Reactivation Lock is OFF
Thanks will this fix the wifi not turning on at all?

If you are rooted still flash this with Cwm https://www.dropbox.com/s/artjwhxli313f7n/V3stockui-1.zip
It may help your wifi
Thanks all for your input in this issue but I'm still unable to get back a clean slate.
It seems as if there is a hidden partition on the phone that is holding the old settings? I've wiped cache formatted the system removed SD card to no avail.
All I want is to brick the damm thing and take it back, is there a wiping tool for the note 3 that will find hidden partitions? or anything to help me get back my phone.
Its an expensive brick at the moment with no wifi
You can brick it by odin v3.09, tick nand erase all
But that would be dumb

Indeedy. Plus If he did decide to brick it there is no guarantee that it would be replaced either.
Having only had my note 3 for only 15 days, I had to return it to Samsung UK.
They ran some test on the phone and found that the m/board was faulty thus not allowing the wifi to stay connected.

At least it got sorted, assuming they've replaced it with zero qualms? - hopefully you won't have any issues with the new one.

They re flashed the phone with Rom J4, even they couldn't get it working, its all being done under warranty. They fact they re-flashed the phone means they trip the knox not me
When the new baby come's it will be well looked after I'm using a very old phone the HP Palm Pre. Don't laugh I sold all the decent phones I had laying around, I guess it a small price to pay
Well guys bad news please see below.
Regarding your Note 3, we have done some investigating into the fault and it turns out that the device has what we call, been rooted. This means that un official software has been loaded onto the device and in the end this results in the voiding of the warranty.

Aww Shiz, Are they not replacing then? or have they stung you with a big fee?
Also kick off to high heaven with them, it's a hardware fault and changing software does not really make hardware break.. They have to fix faulty hw!
I'd make a massive fuss out of it til they fix it.
So they will repair your phone with a fee or totally dont want to repair it.

You're in the UK right? Stand up for yourself. There is an EU directive that stipulates that a warranty for hardware cannot be voided by modified software unless it can be proven that the software modification did, in fact, damage the hardware. The burden of proof is on the manufacturer or retailer to provide this proof if the fault arises in the first 6 months.
They will be unable to prove that your software modification broke the WiFi. Heck, you might as well all them to present you with proof that you rooted the phone. If you flashed stock, unrooted firmware back to the device, then the Knox counter alone is probably not sufficient proof of a rooted device, since it is known that flashing official firmware can sometimes trigger the Knox counter.
Where did you buy the phone? The retailers are usually the ones you need to deal with first. You could also try visiting a Samsung Service Centre where you might get a more sympathetic response.

All of this^^^^ , However, the retailer is the one who has to shoulder the burden of the repair/replacement. Since the transaction is with them directly. Just argue the case with them.
Update 28 November
Samsung UK officially confirm that they will not honor any warranty they they can see the Knox software being tripped. Because the Knox was 0x1 and not 0X0 they will NOT REPLACE THE PHONE, OR PARTS. Samsung also confirm no repairs will be done even if you are willing to pay for it because of the warranty. I argued my case saying that I watched the engineer at the service center flash the phone, Samsung engineer responded by saying "they have no software means to trigger the Knox warranty"?
So if you love you're note 3 and you don't care about your warranty then you could root your phone. Remember the warranty on all phones is 2 years from date of purchase. Sold my SN3 for £237.00 and brought a new one with an tab 3 and case thrown in fro £600.00
Lesson learned

Sh..t the bed!! -- So you lost out on the Note financially? - Phones4U then I guess? hence the free tab? - still - it cost you money, I would have argued the toss with them and made a massive fuss out of it until they fixed it. Other regions have apparently fixed even with 0x1!
PS: glad I have free insurance with NatWest, so any issues and I'm claiming on that bad boy, I ain't risking the warranty wrath (just yet...)
Knox can and does get triggered with official firmware. My Knox was triggered flashing official firmware and unplugging in the middle because it was stuck during upgrade. Then it will say connect to kies to recover phone and this triggered the Knox.
I used odin for all my flashes. .. But this did happen so I would tell them this And they can prove that it wasn't their firmware that did it. No way they can get away with it with the sit that happens in ota firmware upgrades.
Good luck. ... Though you won't need any. .. ?

Well I have a bit of a problem here....I rooted my phone and I had CWM installed and I was trying to restore my rom but that didn't work not I have to take it to best buy cause it's stuck in a boot loop so I was scared that I voided my warranty now I smashed my phone to make sure they don't be able to check how many times I flashed my phone think they'll give me another one if they can't check it? this is kinda urgent.
That is called fraud and is not encouraged / supported in any form on xda. Sounds like you simply needed to flash stock images and you would have been fine. Instead you went with the falcon punch method. An ambitious move, but not very effective at yielding a working device

I just hope they can give a replacement and my USB wouldn't work anyways cause it would always keep restarting even when I plugged it up so I couldn't flash the smashing was my only method I have insurance I just hope for the best I can get a replacement.
Still fraud in my opinion. Man up you know what you get yourself into when you you root your phone (it voids your warranty). You messed up your phone so pay the price.

I all.
So, i have this guy trying to sell me a S5 that he claims he found it in the cinema, the phone is in mint condition, it has the lether case and no scratch at all, but, i think that the phone is stolen, don't know why, but my 6th scenth says it is stolen.
I do want to buy it, my S2 needs retirement the poor old bastard lol, although, i'm afraind of buying the phone and then for some reason, the operator might block the IMEI, and then there goes 200€ to the garbage.
Is there anyway i can change the IMEI of the phone securely?
I there is, will it saty forever with that IMEI? i mean, if i whant to root, install custom ROMs.
What do i have to know to do the change?
Thanks in advance.
Don't buy it.
Trust your instincts.
could also be fake but the fact that it's probably stolen is enough.
Xda won't teach you how to change imei as any one and everyone could change it on a stolen phone.

There is no way to change IMEI on Galaxy. You can only erase and broke EFS partition with all the consequences...

I am first time Android user.
i immediately rooted my S7 edge, and i unrooted it yesterday.
only now i realize I cannot even use Knox any more, it shows a customer ROM has been installed previously.
Is there a way to reset the knox counter
I guess i should have never rooted my S7 edge
No. Knox Flag is permanent or at least no one manage to reverse it since it exist.

The value is defined using an eFuse, its contact is severed by applying high current through it, it is therefore a physical modification of your SOC and cannot be undone.
what you been up to? warranty purposes?
EDIT: I just read your post. Knox is useless anyway, extra security
Knox is useless and warranty is easy to repair on the side. Rooted everything I have owned.

What does this mean?
"Warranty is easy to repair on the side"
On some devices in the past (the Exynos Note 3 for example) the Knox flag was a software marker. This meant that, once the location of that flag was discovered, it could be reset and a lot of people did precisely that every time they tripped the flag. However, with their newer Exynos SOCs Samsung have since followed Qualcomm's example and gone down the e-fuse route with Knox. So no, regardless of what SOC you're running, once tripped, it's now physically impossible to take your device back to a non-tripped state without a mainboard replacement.

Lol as soon as i got my s7e i rooted without even looking into it. But I'm happy with Android pay i guess. Not sure if samsung pay works in the UK right now anyway.
How is the situation regarding samsung pay, if you tripped knox, but still use stock rom without root? I had to unlock because i had to change csc within a multi-csc. Just curious.
haha you guys will realize that when something that is covered under warranty and you need it fix, goodluck... if it doesnt happen then thats great..
I bought an extra year of warranty on my phone because its not cheap.. on cheap phones, I could care less...
In Norway Knox does not affect warranty. I have had two Samsungs (S4 and S5) serviced under warranty. Both with Knox tripped. No problems whatsoever.
No. Currently there is no way. Don't expect one either. We've been trying since 2013 and possibly earlier ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486346
If you live in central, south or central-east europe and care about warranty, don't root.
Hi, my phone is an s7 edge exynos g935w8 and I've tried using triangle away to reset the knox counter but that doesn't work... So are there any other options?
The only option is app called KNOX disabler. It reverts knox back to 0x0. But your warranty is void anyways

No,knox counter is one time programmable e-fuse,when burned and get status 0x1 its irretrievable,that is the point of knox,more here

Once you tripped your Knox you can do nothing. It's like peeling off the security label. I'm sure you were aware of voiding warranty with rooting the device

Surely everyone knows that your warranty is void if you root your phone. It is classed as mishandling and can cause vulnerable software to be installed.
Your flickering issue may not be caused by rooting but the fact you rooted the phone goes against Samsung's terms of use and therefore they have no obligation to fix the phone for you.
I am rooted myself but when I did root, I accepted the fact that I would void my warranty, therefore I took out insurance that would cover any damage I may get. This is not Samsung's fault, it is your own fault for rooting if you wanted to keep your warranty.

It's pointless imo. The device is still knox-tripped, the phone just shows 0x0 instead of 0x1. I see no reason why this would be useful.
Of course, and by the way I don't have any reason to revert to 0x1 or 0x0 ... my provider/seller will never look at this for warranty
But it would be funny if Samsung accept to repair a 0x0 fake device lol
