No, it does not. I had rooted OCF, and wanted to update to OE2. So I ODIN Stock OCF, without tripping KNOX (I just confirmed) and then updated to OE2, through OTA. I don't really think I need to be rooted at all so far. I'd like to see what's going to happen with Samsung Pay first.
I'd really really like to root and TWRP to flash the custom ROMS. The stock ROM is driving me nuts.

Hi all,
I am trying to revert my S3 currently on 4.1.2 with baseband I535VRBLK3 back to locked/unrooted stock. The guides I am finding either have broken links or are outdated. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!
i should mention: the stock roms that I have found so far have failed when I try using odin to flash them

Yes, all three files will format the phone's internal storage and return you to fresh, out of the box factory setup. It will be as if the phone is being activated for the first time.
This may be dumb question, but if I have VRUCNC1 now, could I flash VRBMF1 to allow me to root the phone? My final goal is to be able to use Clock Work Recovery and custom ROM.
Thanks

No you cannot flash back to VRBMF1 and root. You can ODIN flash back to VRUCML1 and root, but you will still not be able to use clock work recovery. Saferoot and safestrap recovery will be your only options.

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.
I am having connection issues with my S6 edge and I am wondering if I can flash another modem on my phone. It hasn't been rooted and is running stock Android. Thanks in advance.
I posted this over on the edge forum but trying here as well in hopes of more views.
Yes, I f you manage to get the correct package, it can be flashed via ODIN without root and tripping KNOX.

Thanks for the answer, but well waiting for a answer i used Smart Switch and it downloaded a update 5.1 and it removed root and twrp which would suck if thats not what i wanted but it was so its all cool. i can now check for OTAs once again.

Your welcome. If you flash via Odin your device will remain stock too
My brand new j7 got stuck on the samsung logo so now I have decided to flash the official firmware from sammobile. I just wanted to know that will it trip the counter ? I have never rooted or flashed anything unofficial.
Thanks

You can flash ur stock rom without rooting, if you root your you will not get warranty because of Knox app.

As a matter of fact it will. And as far as I know you need to install custom recovery (TWRP) to flash rom without tripping knox and according to present context you do not have any other option for installing TWRP other than using odin itself which in turn trips your knox eventually.

It is in warranty as you said "brand new" so don't take a chance, go to the official samsung store and discuss with them the problem.
