no expert here and not sure what your asking. I had rooted mine then stuck on a cust rom but had to exchange it. So I used TriangleAway to reset the count then just stuck on the official 4.0.4 and it was back to stock.. no root. Anytime you put on a stock rom it is then unrooted but the counter is still the same so I used TA and perfect.

What gives? I'm using my P5113 and i want to official stock unroot my tab. So what i did was apply triangle away and wipe to stock ICS firmware via mobile odin (which does not raise the flash counter). I would then upgrade to JB firmware OTA and now when i click for updates i get the "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." message. Even if i check about<status it says my device status is custom. This method should "officialize" my tab 2, but what gives? I need it to be Official unrooted stock firmware with no signs of modification. Please help!
Edit:
I once again did the same method but i am now back to ICS stock where i am able to update to JB but i am choosing not to, If i check the status, it now comes up as modified instead of custom. Is there a way to show stock?
Ummm , yeah, stock is stock , get rid of any crapware or root it , it becomes unofficial

Even if i reflashed the official firmware and removing the flash count?
If so is there a way for Samsung to know the warranty is void? The method i follow is said to work from a guide here at XDA.

Are you using Custome Recovery.?
Flash with Stock Recovery. I think it should resolve the issue.

Thats's right if you need back to orginal stock system easiest way is :
- flash it to official stock samsung rom - (best way by odin so it will also put back default recovery program)
- root this stock firmware
- use triangle away to reset flash counter
- flash it once again with odin to stock rom (to unroot it)

I was thinking of doing that but thought it was a dumb idea (i'm always doubting myself). Now that you mentioned im thinking it would work. I'll give it a try and let you know.

This didn't seem to work, i used mobile odin pro to flash to stock again while i had stock recovery. I think it still raises the flash counter. Do you think it would work if i unroot it with super su?
You are still rooted with stock rom? That will be problem. If you flashed with mobile odin pro there was an option to root rom while being flashed if i remember correctly try to untick that option
I can confirm that the Super SU method works. I am now official. Thanks for the help everyone!

Dude,
Follow this procedure.
1 Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM)
2 Root the Device
3 Clear Flash Counter from Triangle Away
4 Do wipe data/factory reset through CWM
5 Install Mobile Odin
6 Extract Stock Recovery (Recovery.img) from Stock Rom.
7: Flash it Stock Recovery from Mobile Odin
This is Pure Stock Rom with Root. You should be able to Update your device with OTA updates

This is exactly what i did multiple times and i made sure it was an unrooted flash vith mobile odin, it still seemed to raise my flash counter by 1.
So instead i did your method but rooted it afterwards and then resetted the flash counter. Later i unrooted the device with super su and wiped data using stock recovery. I am now back to normal.
Hi,
I Rooted my Sprint GS5 the other day so that I could use Tasker to kill apps. I didn't flash a new ROM. I was reading about UnRooting, and all of the walkthroughs talk about flashing the stock ROM. If I havent flashed a new ROM since I rooted, if I were to unroot, is it a requirement to flash the stock ROM?
Most likely, yes. You would have to flash back. On my SGS4 mini I used a tool that had an UnRoot option.

I don't see why you'd have to flash a stock rom as you're already on it. What's the reason you wan't to unroot? You've already tripped the knox counter and there's no going back from that. :crying:

Since the user documented processes specify it, i wasn't sure if it was safe to just ignore the step.
Regarding the knox count, does that just affect warranty, or will that also affect ability to receive OTA updates? I was looking to unroot because I was expecting the 4.4.3 OTA update any day.
thanks!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that what effects an OTA update is whether you installed a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM.
I've rooted my stock S5 that's on 4.4.4
Now that 5.0 is here it's trying to download the update. What happens if I try to install?
My knox was tripped, btw.

If your rooted than the update wont work. it will fail to install. you have to unroot and than take the ota. If not just wait for a custom rom based on the new update to show up
I know the OTA won't even download. Can you do it over Kies?

Im aware of how to do it if I had access to a PC, but I do not.
Will Kies successfully update/unroot? It sees the phone and wants to install NK4. I presume if NK4 were successful it would then attempt OA6?
For the record, Kies took stock NE5 root to NK4 and it was "official" so I got the OTA OA6. Did a nice clean install and kept all my settings so well I couldn't tell anything had happened until I got a notification and checked the software version.
Rooting without Windows is pretty hopeless for now.
If I return to stock firmware COJ5, will my phone be able to receive Rom updates again?

Yes, if you do a full wipe and factory reset then odin flash stock firmware and do nothing else (no rooting, no custom recovery).
Good luck!
Have a nice evening,

I thought once you root and then revert back you would lose system update. Thanks

The only two things you loose after unrooting and odin flashing stock firmware
is that you cannot use samsung pay or android pay but that's because rooting
will change your knox status to 0/1 instead of 0/0.
But as far as samsung ota updates go all you need is a clean fresh successful
odin flash of stock official firmware.
Good luck!
hi everyone so this may be a stupid question however I wonder, there will be probably soon an update to marshmallow and i'm willing to update mine rooted lollipop rom.
would it be better if I unroot it by flashing my stock rom with flashfire and then update or wouldn't it be a problem if I update my rooted phone with the Ota?

Flashing stock with flashfire is more risky than applying OTA on a rooted phone. The best would be to wait for a kdz image of V20a/6.01, flash over the phone wiping all data.

Rename ur unrooted system img to rootedsystem.img and then flash it using download mode (theres a few threads showing you how to do this i done it and it worked for me and i dont like taking risks but ive done it alot times) after that put it on ur phone and flash it the same way u flashed root it worked for me 5 times and i dont like taking risks and your phone goes back to stock without deleting data or any information
