I'm trading in my phone and want to return my Note 5 to Factory.
I see from prior threads that the method for doing this is to flash the firmware file from sammobile.com.
Does flashing this also take care of unrooting the device and restoring the stock recovery? Also what about the bootloader, does that need to be locked in some way?

OP title says "..... reset to FACTORY condition"...
There is absolutely no known method to return to "factory" condition. The content of his post does not indicate that he / she is informed, so flashing stock firmware after root will not do this at all. [emoji6]

Hi I recently flashed stock firmware but forgot to reset the flash counter. Just to be sure I wanted to ask if it is possible to root using Exynos Abuse, so that I can run Triangle Away and then unroot the phone again.

I can confirm the ExynosAbuse 1.40 rooted my I9305 with stock firmware successfully. Can't tell about TriangleAway, but AFAIK it should work after rooting.
So my phone was on the latest update 4.4.2 and I accidently soft-bricked by flashing it the wrong way.
I tried to return it back to 4.4.2 AT&T version but Odin needed the PIT partition formatting so I had no luck because the .md5 file is not out yet (Right?).
So I am going to send this phone to my cousin in Asia and he needs the unlocked version. Can I flash it with the 4.4.2 international version? I think this time it will work because there is the .md5 file.
No you can not because of locked bootloader there is a thread in general that will get you up and running this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006

This is the thread Jerrycoffman45 was talking about - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006 . It will bring your phone back to MLG and from there you can root, install busybox, and then SafeStrap.

From what I am seeing in the comments, no one has reported that it counted as a flash against them. The user taki7610 posted a couple photos showing that his phone was up and running and that it still said 0x0.

Imnew214, please make sure to do research first before answering questions.
Did I misunderstand? Isn't 0x1 tripping knox, thus breaking warranty?

Yes, 0x1 is a knox counter trip. What I was saying was to check the forum to make sure whether or not it will trip knox. Anything that will trip knox will be clearly stated somewhere in the post.

You can get past KNOX. Look around. I had the same problem you did and I had to re-flash the stock ROM.

KNOX is still tripped @ 0x1 after flashing stock through odin , it should be a 0x0. IS there something I am missing?

you tried to flash a custom recovery which is impossible on the AT&T S6 that's why you tripped Knox

So does flashing stock though odin trip knox? Or is it because he tried to flash a custom recovery

Using Odin to return to stock does not trip Knox.
Flashing or trying to flash a custom recovery will trip Knox.

I did check oem unlock is on but still fails in odin
And what about that error while wipe data factory reset ( unable to mount preload thing any ideas ?
And google account i didn't remove before flashing but i did factory reset before flashing 5.1.1 does that matter ?
I had n910t couple of months ago and i was flashing downgrade without remove Google account.

Oh my bad, you're trying to downgrade. Downgrade not possible for t3. Flash stock 6.0.1, problem resolved.
I am happy with marshmallow but when i was running lollipop the ( unable to mount preload error was not there )
I did flash 3 times 6.0.1 firmware but the error still came up in red letters when i do wipe data factory reset.
Any solution to fix that ?
I'm trying to downgrade my n910t3 phone as OP too. Currently I'm on N910T3UVU3EPJ2, never rooted, never flashed with custom ROM, Knox counter 0x0. Is it true that It's not possible at all to downgrade it?
If so, is it mean that you can still flash the older 6.0.1 MM stock ROM or it is not possible as well?

Hi guys I had thes8 plus and first thing I did was root and flash custom Rom when it come to selling it to get the note 8 I hated how many apps where still broken from tripping knox
My question is I don't want to trip knox again on my note 8 but how easy is it to trip knox?
Can any apps from app store trip it by mistake or using adb to say go to full immersive mode?
Or a couple off modded apps like YouTube modded?
Thanks

The only thing that will trip knox is flashing a custom recovery - which is required to root.
Don't root and you will be fine.
no apps can trip knox
adb wont either

You can use Odin without tripping Knox, you can flash other Samsung firmware and it won't be tripped just don't Odin a custom recovery.

Kind of you could still flash stock firmware fine if you needed to recover from a soft brick of some sort.
But yeah apart from that just stay away from it

It has the recovery needed to root (trip Knox) and has instructions on how to flash it. Does not get any more straight forward than this.
