I have used Triangle Away on XXBMA2 and the sboot it came with and while the flash counter is successfully reset, my system status flag is not, it keeps saying "custom" whatever I do with Triangle Away. Has anyone successfully stockified their I9305, and if so, which ROM and sboot? Does it even depend on sboot?
You need to do a complete wipe too.

Yes I have done that. I started on XXBMA2, rooted and stuff, used Triangle Away and before booting I went into download mode and flashed completely stock. After that didn't work I rooted again, used Triangle Away again, and again, before booting I flashed stock. The only thing being reset is the flash counter.
I think you doing something wrong. Take it easy, root first or use pre-rooted rom. Use TA and let it finish job, boot normally. Once you've done it, reboot to DL mode, use Odin to flash Stock ROM. Restart your phone, go to Back up & Reset section in menu, select Factory Reset and voila. Should be clean as New

Here is what I did on my Note 10.1:
Flashed ROM with correct CSC
Autorooted (Chainfire you know)
Ran TA
Before the device could boot entered recovery (on the phone you can pull the battery)
Did a full wipe
And all was virgin.
Just use this and all your problems will be solved...

Why use this Root Method? Well the main reasons are:
- You have a complete Odin Flashable ROM Package.
- No Insecure Kernels are used or required.
- You can flash these packages on Non-Rooted devices
- The Binary Flash Counter will NOT increase when flashing these ROM Packages.
- The Red Exclamation Mark will NOT appear at boot up.
- And finally, you only have to flash one file in Odin and you have a complete firmware including Root Permissions.

Hi, i got a GT-I9305N too , you get system status flag as custom because your phone is still rooted, any modified changes in /system will make your system status as custom like su or busybox. In order to get system status flag to official, you need to reflash your phone with a stock rom with odin3 (Unroot the phone). Send me a private message and i'll link the right stock rom to you if you want, Comviq/tele2 rom if you bought the phone from them or nordic countries.
Use this to find the correct rom : http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9305#sthash.YrJ0gDPY.dpuf

Baseband wouldn't work anyway, I need Perseus kernel for that to work, which is the whole reason why I am returning to stock (for service). The way I see it: as long as I can get the system status flag to say 'official' it doesn't matter how I do that because after I can flash any other official rom and the flag wont get touched, so I can return to my stock carrier rom anyway (which by the way is Tele2/Comviq as tico96 suggested).
Thanks for all the tips, I will give it another go tonight.
This is what I did just now:
While running XXBMA2 rooted and with Perseus kernel I applied Triangle Away
Rebooted straight into download mode (by holding home, vol down and power, should I be powering off normally first?)
Installed stock XXALIA
Cleared data
And the result?
Custom binary download: no
Current binary: Samsung official
System status: custom
Operating system status shows "modified"
Can someone honestly tell me they have been able to reset the system status flag on this hardware and also let me know exactly which ROM package they did it from and how they rooted etc. I don't care whether it is for I9305, I9305N or I9305T, radio working doesn't matter to me at all (because if radio has to work for it to revert to stock then I am ****ed either way).
I just want to return to system status: official or normal or whatever it is supposed to say.
Your non stock kernel is your problem. Just as soon as you boot with that you are "modified". Everything has to be stock kernel/recovery/CSC just with SU and you have to run TA and do a complete wipe before the system notice it's rooted. Then you are modified again.

Ok, so before running TA I have to have a stock kernel? But don't I need to reboot into a special mode if I have a secure kernel... meaning I end up booting a secure kernel to do the TA from anyway?
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever run TA on a system with stock kernel and recovery... I always assumed that I could replace those directly after, perhaps the check is done when I go into download mode? Will try that tonight!

You can try this:
If you're on stock rom.. Reset your counter if you haven't yet.
Backup your data in CWM / TWRP.
Flash stock recovery in CWM / TWRP and make a factory reset. (you won't lose root)
System Status should now be OFFICIAL (I hope)
Then you can flash back CWM with RomManager, or TWRP and restore your data.

I used custom rom before and then wanted to reset flash counter using Triangle Away. I installed stock rom, used custom kernel, then triangle away and then flashed stock rom again.
All went fine and flash counter is showing "NO" and firmware is Samsung Official but sometimes randomly System Status in download mode and in Android settings shows Custom. Then if i reboot it shows Normal. Why is this happening and what should I do to make it always show Normal?

Try to root your phone, download another firmware, and flash it with Mobile Odin Pro.
Triangle Away is include inside Mobile Odin flashing, should solve your problem even if didn't work when you did it.
FACTORY RESET settings/backup and reset/Factory data reset will work, no need to flash or root. keep in mind this will wipe your internal storage and you will need to download and reinstall all of your applications

Okay have you tried to use Kies? That is the official way to update your phone. Either Kies or ota. Try this. Use kies upgrade and initialization. If it says your ROM is not supported restart kies and put your phone in download mode before connecting it to PC. Enter serial no and model number into kies.then while phone is in download mode . connect it to PC. This should begin the upgrade process. After it finishes, factory reset phone. Let me know if that doesn't work

Okay, I tried wipe data/cache, flashing older stock rom, cf-autoroot, triangle away, then flashing newer stock rom using KIES and wipe data/cache again. Still same problem, sometimes system status is Modified and sometimes Normal. This is so weird problem...
First flash with kies and do a factory reset after. You should not be rooted after using kies. Do not restore applications from any previous backup. Only install applications manually. Do not restore data either .start fresh. wipe external sd card. Do not freeze or uninstall any system applications. I recently uninstalled "chat on" and got a system modified status that only went away after reflashing my rom. Dont sideload apps . Dont check off unknown sources under security. If that doesnt work I really don't know any thing else.stock rom kernel firmware apps all from playstore no root apps.

I found another thread where someone has had same kind of problem and he had not done ANY modifications to the phone: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2022690
It still said Custom on System Status. I'm starting to believe that there is something wrong with Android that makes System Status randomly show Custom even if no modifications has been done.
i read the link you posted. i would try to either wipe the sd card or remove it just to eliminate that being the issue. also i would suggest you make sure unknown sources is not ticked. and most importantly that you do not batch restore apps. especially app data. one question i have is do you encrypt your file system? for security? and is your rom carrier branded. I know all of the instrucions and questions seem like a tall order but this is how to troubleshoot by process of elimination what is causing the custom status. i hope you get this worked out...
I really appreciate your help ashraf sharif. I just wouldn't like to install all my apps again (did it few times already). I googled the issue more and some people believe Modified status is related to External SD card somehow:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=41540
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2-rooting-roms-hacks/277639-factory-reset-device-status-modfied.html
So i might give up with this issue. It sometimes says Normal and occasionally Modified but the good thing is the phone is working fine
I Titanium Back up and when mine shows as modified I use it to clear the cache then reboot and it reverts to normal.
The OP prefers to not be rooted so tb wont work. Myself am rooted and always have normal status.

I used Custom roms before but wanted to flash everything back to Stock and Official. I flashed Stock rom and then Custom kernel so i could use Triangle Away to reset the Custom flash counter in Download Mode. Then after using Triangle Away i flashed Stock Rom. So my intention was to make everything on the phone Stock/Official again.
Does your phone say modified when you take out the external sd card? You can simply unmount it shut down the phone and then remove it just to make see if maybe that is the issue. If it is whats causing the modified status then just backup whatever files you want to keep. And then format the card. You should be good to go

The problem is Airwatch still identifies the phone as "rooted /compromised" any idea how to completely unroot it or really reset to default

Flash a 3 part gb rom. Before flashing do a wipe of cache and data from recovery. Flash with pc odin, then do full wipe from recovery of gb, should clear any traces.

follow the instructions of SpyderTracks only instead of install you can also install jb gb, it is important to do all the wipe format and send it in download mode directly from recovery

Can somebody point me to official 3 part N7000 ROM for StarHub- Singapore.
All the rom I am getting are single file.
There is no need for that rom. Just boot into a Cwm recovery. (if you have already Un rooted then install Philz kernel.) . Format the system, data, cache and preload partitions and then choose reboot download. Then flash a stock rom again.

Dear All,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note (GT-N7000) device rooted via ODIN as shown here. I am currently on Abyss Kernel and have Ginger Bread v2.3.6. A yellow triangle also pops when the phone is booting up
I have ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.1.5 installed on my phone, but when I got to the recovery mode, volume buttons DOES NOT let me choose anything other than to reboot the phone (which is the first option).
I have downloaded latest ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.2, but not sure how to update it.
I have tried updating through ROM Manager, but sadly it does not lists my device out there.
You will need to upgrade to a newer version of Android first. Then you can get a custom kernel which will have newest version of clockworkmod

Just a last question before I begin downloading the ROM. My device has below baseband version and build number.
Code:
[B]Baseband version[/B] : N7000DDLC1
[B]Build number [/B]: GINGERBREAD.DDLC1
Can I download below Stock JB ROM ? I guess this will unroot my phone (not bothered, just asking).
N7000DDLSC N7000ODDLSC - India
I hope the yellow triangle which I get while booting up (after rooting) will not matter. Right ?
Thanks a million in advance. It is because of people like you, that we get our life back.
You can install any version of jb you like, but it's worth sticking to your region. You will lose root, but can flash phillz kernel through stock recovery to regain, very simply. yellow triangle doesn't matter until you need to claim warranty. To remove, run triangleaway app from play store.

This post says that if I am using Gingerbread ROM, I need to "First wipe cache and data", but my volume buttons DOES NOT (my buttons are working well otherwise) let me choose anything other than to reboot the phone (which is the first option). I was trying to follow this video.
Alternatively, can I do a factory reset as below, also shown here as Method 1.
