Hi,
Now I have my nice S9+ I need to recycle my S7 Edge.
I have been searching and not found a good guide to return everything to stock - can anyone please point me to one ? I have rooted and have been running Black Pearl S9 port on my S7. Need to get as close to stock as possible with bootloader, but not the obvious tripped thing.
Thanks v much
Use Sammobile.com site
You can find stock firmwares for any Samsung models via sammobile.com site.
1.Create an account.
2.Enter your model number
3.Select your country.
4.Select latest version in the top.
5.Select Wait and download option and soils you have the stock ROM!
Thanks. Will this return the bootloader and recovery too though ?
Done it - seems to have worked fine. Thanks for the help.
Did it tripped your knox?

Using Odin will not trip Knox as it is official software you are flashing, however if you use odin to flash TWRP then this will trip Knox.

Hi,
I've just got a Note 3 so not sure of all the ins and outs. I've been reading the forum and worked out it's status is Custom.
I don't think it's rooted, I certainly haven't done it.
Basically I want the Kit Kat update but it tells me I can't update OTA as it's modified and through Kies it says it's up to date which isn't true. I'm on 4.3.
Anyway If I can do the update with Odin I'd be happy but could you help me:
Firstly what version of Odin should I use. I can see a 3.07. It seems old but is that OK ?
Secondly I can't work out what firmware I need to download for it. I have done *#1234# and this is what it tells me the following:
AP: N9005XXUBMJ3
CP: N9005XXUBMJ1
CSC:N9005DBTBMJ3
Any ideas what it is and which I'd need to download for it ? When I got it the phone was set to German by default but I'm not sure if that means it is German or not.
I'd like to use a UK firmware if I can but would that screw the phone up in some way. I've read about KNOX.... not really sure what that's about but it doesn't sound too good if I break it.
Basically any help on what to download and I guess how to use Odin to put it on there would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you
Daniel

any ODIN will do. I used 3.0.9, and flashed well.
You can download any firmware. don't worry. If you wish to use German firmware, there's NB7 - DBT, but this firmware need a pit file to be flashed together with it.
If you want UK, there's also UK version
The latest one, which most of the dev use as a base for custom ROM is NC2 czech. I personally have flashed this stock firmware into some of my friend's Note 3, and run into no trouble with ODIN 3.0.9.
You should try to go into download mode, and see what is written down there. As you said your system status is modified/custom, I believe if you go into download mode, you will find KNOX = 0x1.
I found this state as well on my friend's new N9005 stock 4.3 unrooted. My friend bought an export set for Europe countries (and it happened to be German firmware as well, same as yours)
cheers.
Thanks for the reply. It's good to know it shouldn't hurt whichever I decide to go with.
In terms of where I should get the ROM from. Is http://samsung-updates.com/ the best place to get it ?
Here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N9005 I see there are some NC2 ones but no Czech one. Would the top one the Philipines one work ?
Also I can't get into Download Mode. It just comes up with android system recovery (3e). Is that a problem ?
Sorry I really haven't a clue with all this.
Thanks

go to here : www.samfirmware.com
login there / sign up if you have no account.
just type ur device on the textbox firmware. you will find the firmware that you want
philipines one should also work. try to find those without the provider carrier (less bloatware)
to go into download mode : power down your device. after that you can power up by using ==> vol down + home + power, once you go in then press vol up to continue.
to go into recovery mode (the one u mentioned above) : power down your device. after that power up using ==> vol up + home + power.
Right just realised what I was doing wrong and got into the Download Mode. It says KNOX Warranty Void 0x1
Does that matter ? I don't need to use the private file storage thing really to be honest.
Can I still flash a ROM OK ?
And again is that one on samsung-updates.com OK ?
Thank you!

to be honest, KNOX flag trip will only affect if you have use the KNOX container earlier before it trip.
But if you never use, it should be fine. It will only a matter of warranty which is the main issue. But since you said you have never done anything to your phone, I believe you have bought it from 3rd party (non samsung store) which claim to be an export set (which come without samsung warranty). This thing happen to 1 of my friend actually which I mentioned on my above posting.
But don't worry, means now you don't need to worry about KNOX trip anymore (unless you want to bring up the issue to whom you bought the phone from, and actually it will be useless as well, as no prove the knox is tripped by the seller).
You can just download any firmware. Go to the site I mentioned earlier (to get the newest) : www.samfirmware.com
get it from there.
OR
you can visit this thread, and get it from the mirror link there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643109
the NC2 is listed at the 1st post on the top part (easy for you to find). My opinion better go to this thread. This thread using mega storage, faster download compare to the at at samfirmware
cheers!

Brilliant! Thank you for all your help I have now flashed it with Odin to 4.4.2. I went for the UK one in the end which might not be the very latest version but I'm happy
Thanks again that's made my day. You're right I don't care about KNOX and couldn't prove anything anyway so I shall carry on and enjoy my nice new KitKat Note 3

Can I install a carrier free version of the same firmware without triggering KNOX? thanks
As fas as i know even an official rom flashed with odin will trip knox..but i don't know for sure!maybe someone else can help you more in this!

You should give more details about your phone & What firmware you want to flash, to get proper guidance from someone.
Thx, I would like to flash the same firmware version but without carrier modofications to get rid of the bloat and get faster updates in the future. Version I'm running now is ANK4 and device is N910F.
No problem! If you download a signed firmware on SamMobile, you can flash it via Odin and knox will still 0x0. I did it because here in Brazil, my SM-N910C came with a lot of carrier apps and bootanimation, so I flashed a stock no carrier and it is working fine.
Hi,
My cousin owns a Galaxy s4 i9505 LTE and he wanted to root it. Since i was using custom rom on my S3 i9300, He asked me to root his phone and i told him that the knox security will mess things up. Anyway i rooted it with CF Autoroot and root was successful but the phone started restaring periodically and he wanted me to restore it back to stock rom (Unroot). He bought it from UAE and the build version was I9505XXUGNH8. Since we didn't find any firmware for UAE from sammy site, he searched the google and found a link (samfirmware) and downloaded the firmware. Then i flashed it via odin. All is good.
Now he want to root it again but the SElinux status says Enforced. Tried towel root,kingoroot and other stuffs.. No hope. The Knox says 0x0 and knox void is 0x1. Android version is 4.4.2. please help me to root this phone.
Thanks in advance...
Use cf auto root. It's the only root method that works.
Afterwards make sure to delete everything knox related. There are plenty of guides out here that tell what to delete.
Thanks for the help.. and if you don't mind, can you please tell me where to find those threads about deleting knoz files and what should i do to get a custom recovery in i9505?????

Nex time use SEARCH BUTTON.
- About the Knox files: HERE.
- Custom Recovery (for ex. TWRP): HERE.
So I flashed the SuperStock ROM the other day. To get Samsung Pay working.. can I just flash a stock TMobile firmware (i have a tmo model) via ODIN and restore the phone back to stock ? I understand Knox will still be tripped once I flashed it. Will that prevent Samsung Pay to work ? Anybody do this before ? lol

Hi there! Nice to see you around... used your ROMs years ago on my HD2!
Well, regarding knox, as far as I could read so far, there is no way around it, except a dev has a something hidden and didn´t tell the community yet. Once tripped, there is no way back and samsung pay won´t work, unfortunately. I already tested by "unrooting" and flashing a stock rom through odin. It will state that the rom is official but KNOX = 1.
Hi, i know there is another thread but i think is not the same problem.
In "About Device" my S5 show SM-G900F branded for United Arab Emirates (XSG - G900FXXU1POEC) but in "Download Mode" the screen info show me different version of galaxy S5..... SM-G9006V wich is from China.....wtf?
Is something like that legit?
My question is if i want to flash new firmware for XSG ( G900FXXU1POI1 ) will it work or i brick device / or trip Knox?
The firmware for SM-G9006V use different CSC and if i try to flash this will triping KNOX waranty, is corect?
INFO
-I forgot to mention that sees no new firmware via Kies, OTA or Smart Switch although there are two firmware already released.
-When i try "Firmware upgrade and initialization" in Kies 3 after type of Model name field -SM-G900F and serial number
its say my serial number is wrong but when type in Model name field SM-G9006V and serial the procedure want to continue wich meant is OK.
The System operational you need to download the exact one that is described on Download Mode.
The Download mode is the real one.
If you want to flash only the modem/CSC you can flash the G900F.
But the Kernel and the Bootloader i think you need to flash the G9006V.
if you flash an Firmware differently from your download mode you can brick your device (Soft-Brick, not Hard-Brick)
If you bought it from someone, you can easily edit on config to show anything you want on About Device.
Hi, thanks for answer, but its something i dont get it.
How they manage to do some thing, flashing G9006V firmware and after that flashing G900F XSG firmware ( AP-CP-CSC) without triger the Knox.
Anyway, Is there an easier way to flash the latest update for the UAE of September 2015 and to keep the same configuration, the bootloader from G9006V,
XSG G900F kernel and CSC from UAE without enable Knox or brick my phone.

As far as I know only custom kernels and custom recoveries trigger Knox. Technically custom non touchwiz roms also will I believe, but since you flash them from recovery that's a little implied, not 100% sure on that though, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

To flash anything you need to root. therefore you are going to trigger the knox.
I BELIEVE that you can only flash original firmware TOUCH WIZ without root

Rooting does not trigger Knox.

The only root method that WON'T trip knox is towelroot, and that method won't work on anything other than KitKat.
CF Root WILL trip knox.
TWRP WILL trip knox.
So for most people rooting will trip knox

I would like to point out that using apps such as kingoroot allow one click roots that won't trip Knox. After the build.prop is modified they can just unroot and it'll be like nothing happened

Point noted....I have no experience of those root methods....
The methods I mentioned are the main methods (with dedicated threads) to be found/mentioned on XDA........

Thank you all for your help but leave this thread because I gave the phone back and chose another producer.
The problem could not be solved by those at the store because all the phones were lot of the same trouble.
Sorry I can not help you with other information in the future.
