Hi Guys I flashed over to the stock firmware and then rooted it in order to use triangleaway.
initial binary count was 3 when I checked after using Triangleaway.
I used triangleaway but it is still showing as binary count 1.
What am I doing rom?
Using stock Telstra 4.1.1 firmware.
Did it come with a binary count with 1 for Telstra phones?
Any assistance would be great. This is for warranty purposes.
use TA, and then flash a stock rom before it reboots, then factory reset from recovery.
you have to be stock in every way for it to be zero
After I use TA. It gives me two options to reboot into download mode or for a normal reboot. Which do I select? Thanks
reboot to download mode and flash a stock rom. factory reset from recovery afterwards. there are plenty of guides to assist you
Thanks figured it out.
Selected Reboot in Download mode after TA. As soon as it went to reboot and screen went back I pulled out the battery. Booted it up manually to the Download Mode and it is now displaying "NO" or "0"
It's due to custom kernel, it must have stock one to reset counter
you're welcome

Hello all! I am a little stuck and could use some help if someone would be so kind. I need to send in my German Galaxy Note in for service/repair and need to return it to stock condition and have only found partial guides that don't seem to address each of my concerns. I have been reading up for a few days and I have yet to find an all-encompassing answer explaining how I would go about everything from properly unrooting to where I can obtain the correct files to flash everything back to its stock condition.
What I know thus far:
I understand that the counter needs to be at 0 or the warranty will be void. Luckily, when I rooted the phone I read up beforehand and made sure to use a method that supposedly did not increment the counter at all. I never installed any ROMS either (only an official update via Kies).
Question 1: How do I check to make sure the counter has really not been incremented? (Note: I get a yellow triangle on the bottom of the screen if I hold down volume and power when booting up, and the message warning me about downloading and installing a custom rom) Is that yellow triangle just a warning or does it actually represent there having been a record of installing a ROM?
Question 2: The phone is rooted but has never had a custom ROM installed on it. How do I Unroot so that there is no trace of the phone ever having been rooted? In what order should I Unroot and flash files?
Question 3: I had ClockworkMod recovery on the phone but either after doing a "Factory Data Reset" (from within the "Backup and restore" settings menu in Android) or doing an OTA update to 4.04, it has disappeared. How do I make sure it is really gone and the phone has the stock recovery installed on it.
Question 4: Where do I get the necessary files that I need to flash? I don't know which ones are guaranteed to apply to my phone specifically. I have a German version of the phone and assume there might be some slightly different releases based on country even amongst different N7000's. I would assume that a UK or Indian kernel or something would raise a flag at Samsung.
Question 5: Since I was able to retain Root even after OTA updates, do I need to Unroot any differently?
Basically, I just need to know how to return the phone to stock condition from the state it is currently in. (the guides I am finding don't seem to apply directly to my scenario) Any help with this would be tremendously appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. And yes, I did my own searches already

Download the rom for your area and flash it via pcodin. It will automatically unroot your device also...
To check the binary counter you have to switch off your phone and press vol down+home key+power button and Keep it holding until your phone gets into download mode. Press vol up on displayed warning to continue.
There you c the counter..
You can use traingle away to reset it to 0. Just use search feature...

Hi eowken =) if you find a stock rom and odin flash it, then cwm recovery will disappear, binary count will be set to zeto and triangle will disappear, you will be unrooted too. Know this doesn't answer all your questions, but maybe something you can start to check out

best would be to go back into download mode, confirm with volume button and then you see binary counter. I think you can reset it if needed with triangle away.
clean condition would be on safe kernel, wipe everything, including dalvik cache and format all except efs in mounts (take out external card first)
Then flash your choice rom (same csc, you say German) throught pc odin
Before you do this at own risk. Why the need for service?

Question 1 : go to download mode ( vol down + power + home )
vol up to continue
next screen gives u the info
< custom binary download: NO > This is wat u wanna see
< firmware : samsung official >
Question 2 : Install a stock rom of ur location rom dr ketans post using pc odin.
Question 3 : Install a stock rom of ur location rom dr ketans post using pc odin.
This will install stock kernel and most of the times the cwm is removed

Question 4 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
any stock rom from any location for "N7000" will not raise counter
Question 5 : Install stock rom should unroot.
Thanks guys for all the replies. I have been reading up on everything from using PC Odin to avoiding the brick bug and flash counters thanks to the many links. I do have another question though which I would love to hear an answer to if anybody knows for sure.
So, since I want to definitely wipe everything (including dalvik, cache, etc.) to not leave a trace, then I assume I need to get into recovery. When I press power+volume down, though, it just goes to the yellow triangle warning. Does that mean that CWM is no longer on the phone, or is it merely inaccessible at this point?
In other words, are the following steps the order in which I should do everything?
1. Install CWM zip file (anyone have a suggestion for what version?)
2. Enter CWM recovery and do every available wipe and format (except for efs and not factory data reset since this will cause brick bug)
3. Install Samsung Stock Rom from provided link
4. Check if SuperUser is missing from app drawer (meaning phone is no longer rooted)
4. Try to boot phone into recovery (which should not work and give me yellow triangle warning instead) and then check to make sure counter is set to 0 in Odin
5. Send phone to Samsung for service
Many thanks again guys!
P.S. Reason the phone needs to be serviced is that it has a problem with the front button not working well anymore

To enter recovery its Vol UP/Home/power. Vol down is for download mode.
Best way to wipe internal sd is to mount as usb on pc, then manually select files and delete.

From bad to worse
I installed the correct stock ROM from that I got from the linked page via PC Odin. Everything seemed to flash perfectly. Then, after booting, the phone would constantly hang at the unlock screen.
I tried to flash it again with a newer stock version and same thing happened:
N7000XXLRG---4.0.4/12.07.04-N7000DBTLRG---Download--- Open Germany
I tried rebooting several times but apparently Touchwiz was not working at all with constant force closes and I could not even get past the unlock screen.
I searched through the forums where I found out that the phone needed a kernel that matched the ROM version I installed, so I flashed a kernel via PC Odin that I got from this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRG-DBT-2.5.tar.md5
The phone is stuck in a boot loop which makes sense seeing as though CWM isnt even installed. What kernel should I install and where can I get it?
Now I get a yellow triangle, by the way, why is that???
After flashing phillz kernel did you reboot into recovery and wipe cache and data, if not you'll get boot loops.
Did you flash kernel with pc odin rather than recovery? If so, as it's a custom kernel it will raise flash counter which is why you have yellow triangle. Once you've got rom to boot you can run triangle away app by chainfire to remove.

if it has so many fcs then first install a gb rom. then reboot into recovery and wipe cache dalvik and data factory reset. it should boot up the phone as normal

Unroot GT-N7000
Hi there,
Triangle away will be necessary first. There is a SU App on Google Play with the option "unroot". Let it unroot your device and let it uninstall itself.Then, boot into recovery mode holding down "volume up", Home button and Power button, wipe cache and reset your device by your original cwm.
If this is no help, you should tell me your current cwm version. With PhilZ Touch 4 Recovery, cwm 6.0.3.0 you would not need to flash the original cwm, because it restores stock cwm paths. Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002953
So long, Catchit
Hi everyone
First of all a little history:I used this [PhilZ-cwm6][n7000] v4.93.6 Safe Stock Kernel+CWM6+Root+exFAT+ext4-LT4 to root my n7000 on 4.0.4 (I bought it with 4.0.4).
Then after some time Android wanted an upgrade to 4.1.2 and after some time I just tried it and it failed after booting into recovery mode, because it didnt find a the expected kernel, I think. But I had the chance to boot up again.
OK I then did the update with Kies-Software and everything worked again. Then I rooted the phone again using the same method as mentioned in the post above.
Now today the phone wanted to update again, I thought, OK, if it didnt fail completely the first time, it will fail in recovery mode and let me boot up again.
But...
This time it went into recovery mode and didnt let me boot up again. It just shows the robot with the crystal and the progress bar seems to move a little but then the screen goes black for a second and the robot returns and the progress bar moves a little and the same again.... I dont get into the recovery menu.
I tried samsung kies emergency recovery, it doesnt find my n7000.
I tried to flash the kernel with a newer version from the post above. (I am not allowed to post there). No change it gets stuck in broken recovery mode.
I can push volumedown power and home to get into the download mode.
My question is what can I do?
Is there any other chance to avoid a complete stock recovery (is that the right term/way)?
What do I have to flash and how?
I am a little worried about the brick issues and I dont know which version I have to flash to set it back completely...
Please help & thanks

No worries, since your download mode is still working you can flash a stock Samsung ROM via odin. Download one from here and flash it in odin while in download mode. Latest at this point of time is LT4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
This will give you the stock JB Bootloader, Recovery, and ROM. Its completely unrooted though, and the phone will not be wiped in the process, so remember to do so after you flashed it.

Thanks a lot, crownest!
I sweated a bucket of blood and seat, because I couldnt wipe cache and data first, but it worked!!!
Everything looks like before!´the update!
Some more questions (sorry):
do you think I should wipe cache and data now?
Is a stock rom like the rom on internal usbcard only?
What about the update? Can I update safely now?
Thanks again for helping...

Yup you should be able to wipe cache and dalvik with no issues now.
I believe all ROMs be it stock or custom installs to the NAND memory (Someone correct me if im wrong) and never on your internal/external SDcard
As for OTA updates via Kies, I dont see why not, but if the same issue does reoccur again then my suspicions would point to a possible NAND corruption on the device. Not sure if there is a fix for that, but its a risk you gotta take. Or you can always root the phone and flash custom ROMs as new builds get released, this way you'll never have to use OTA updates again.
Hello, I have been trying to flash for 2 days now but still couldn't get it working.
Initially, my I9305 is running on stock without root. I wanted to root it and then install recovery and ROM.
And so I prepare the necessary files, and start to flash.
I used CF-Auto-Root to root my device first, then got Resurrection ROM and Gapps to flash.
Then I started to get some issue, as it always fail. Error message like no file context and so on. So I read online resources, and found out that I had a older version of TWRP installed which may cause the install.
I then tried to upgrade TWRP but it doesn't allow me to. No choice, I had to flash philz touch, and I did.
I then tried to flash Resurrection again, boot up, and it keep giving me bootloop. After which I downloaded nameless ROM, and CM11 but same issue.
Yesterday night, I downloaded the stock firmware to try. I flashed it, and it is successful based on ODIN, but it still won't boot up.
I just tried it again and it stuck on the Samsung logo screen.
Can anyone tell me what else to do? What I have to do?
This is the stock firmware that I have downloaded and flash - I9305XXUENH1_I9305EVRENH1_EVR.
Let me know what other information I have to provide.
Thanks!
Here's the Download mode information.
Custom binary count: 9 counts
Current binary: samsung offical
System status: custom
Knox void: 1
RP SWREV: A2
Update: 16/1
I just tried to go into my recovery mode and apparently, it has been changed back to stock recovery which I assume is because I have flashed the stock firmware.
I am trying it yet again after wiping in stock recovery, to flash the stock firmware again now.
P.S: I have posted it in http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help-i9305/qa-samsung-galaxy-s3-lte-roms-kernels-t2999494 but no reply. So trying my luck here.
Ok, this is funny. I waited for 2-3 days before posting here for help. And it doesn't work for all those days.
Now that I just posted, it finally worked. I am getting into the setup screen.
Anyway, for those people who may have the same issue as me in the future, try to wipe everything after flash to stock firmware. then flash stock firmware again.
After flash
It's a good call,as per your last post,to wipe data and factory reset after a flash and even a second install.Need to give time for changes to occur.Don' go too fast.HTH.
Hi Forum,
What i did to root the G900W8 Canadian Galaxy S5 variant is the following:
1. Downloaded the Super user which can be found. http://www.mediafire.com/download/7hzka026ofddjz7
2. Download and flash the Philz recovery . http://www.mediafire.com/download/vn77n8c17qq69pt
Now you can flash the recovery via Odin and use the super user. Install super user from revovery menu install from zip.
If you would like to flash stock recovery... http://www.mediafire.com/download/z8so967mr7jbem8

Yes it does..... I dont think there is a way around it.... as i work with a lot of phones on a daily basis... i need to be quick with things... cant flash roms specially when you are doing remote imei repairs and such....
no need do remote emei repaire it cost $ , just root and write certificate
The only issue is that the certificates get blacklisted... you need private cert files
How is the modem? Is it sticking without issue?
Hey, guys. Just rooted G900W8. lollipop, build LRX21T.G900W8VLU1BOC2.
Used this guide with one remark.
http://galaxys5root.com/galaxy-s5-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s5/
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After I did everything, I had what some other people had, there was no Philztouch:
"i had try that way…the menu still shown
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from externel storage
wipe data / factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
then i try push ….. apply update from externel storage…the next error happened
Finding update package …
Opening update package …
Verifiyng update package …
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, the answer is in the comments too -
"A reply to this problem has been posted MANY times. Take the back off your phone and flash Philztouch with Odin. Get ready to pull the battery IMMEDIATELY you see the green PASS! on Odin – I did it by having my fingernail hooked into the battery slot while the phone was downloading the file, and pulling the battery the second I saw the PASS! (yes, the phone was still connected to the PC with the cable). I counted to 20, replaced the battery, and booted straight into recovery – (Vol Up, Power and Home pressed all together). Philztouch recovery came up. "
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, here's scary part. I un-ticked Auto-reset and factory reset boxes in Odin, flashed Philztouch, and Odin stuck on RESET state, phone was still in downloading state! Well, after couple minutes I had no choice but to pull battery.
Put battery back in, tried to boot into recovery...and bingo! It was Philztouch! Now I flashed SuperSU, rebooted, at some reason I had no warnings, triangles whatsoever! Another funny thing - SuperSU didn't promt me to disable Knox automatically at some reason. I downloaded Titanium Backup, and freezed Knox along with millions of other bloatware programs.
Phone originally was Canada, Fido, I unlocked it after rooting, purchased code for $15.
Hope this helps.
I am on lollipop 5.1.1 Will this still work
Hi,
I have Roger's unlocked Galaxy S5 G900W8. I have installed custom rom on it and now I want to revert back to stock rom.
Will flashing Roger's stock rom lock my phone again?
P S: I don't live in Canada so if Roger's rom changes my modem settings then I will be unable to use my Sim.

In odin just untick update modem and bootloader and there wont be any problem. Beside theres rom like no limits or stock rooted rom you can flash for g900f it will work.
I've just tried to factory reset my N950F, that had custom rom. This didn't remove my media files for some reason, so I did a full wipe from TWRP.
This has sent me into a bootloop, however I can still get into the download screen for odin. I've tried flashing TWRP again with this but while my laptop says pass it is stuck on 'Downloading, do not turn off target'.
I'm now waiting to download https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note8/SM-N950F/BTU/download/N950FXXU5DSB2/259437/ am I doing something wrong or do I have to return to stock in order to use the phone again?
Would rather have TWRP and install a custom ROM.
Thanks all,
Andy
Download firmware, flash it with Odin run wait till device turn on, wait some time. Then just simply flash your ROM, root and stuff
