once rooted you can't restore the phone to before the root state. as in getting all those apps to function as before the root.

use samfirm 0.3.6 to download N960F firmware enter DBT as region
then when it finishes dl and decryption, unzip the file and load all 4 specific peices(bl,ap,cp,csc be sure to use csc.md5 for csc and not the home) into odin v 3.13.1
I feel that I should elaborate on what rooting does to a Samsung phone.
If the bootloader detects that the installed kernel or recovery is not properly signed by Samsung, the Knox bit is tripped (as in, changed from 0x0 to 0x1). This is a physical change in the chip - think of it as a fuse that's now blown. The change is permanent, and there's no way to reverse it without replacing the entire motherboard.
All of the features you mentioned check the Knox bit, and refuse to work if it's 0x1. Now, there are ways to get S Health working if you re-root, but if you plan to stay unrooted, I'm afraid those apps are gone forever.
I guess this goes to say that you should have done your research beforehand. Sorry mate.

i suffered that alot when i was new to rooting and flashing, just try flashing a new stock firmware back to the phone from samfirmwares.com and see how you go,
actualy pre rooted firmware
firmware http://www.multiupload.com/YY0JBMUWBF
csc file http://www.multiupload.com/NRVCK6KYWD
512 pit file http://www.multiupload.com/I5WICSBFJ1
see how you go with that, although u may need to manually add youre providers apn settings in after though
Regarding the icon: flash the bootloaders(boot & Sbl) and a working kernel
Thanks for the posts ...fliptechnologies do i use odin to flash them files ? where does the firmware go ?(pda?). Does anyone know if anyone with the same problem has made a guide by any chance ?
thanks
there are apps which help you root your phone using adb
like SuperOneClick you might want to try it, or using a firmware with root as suggested
there is also an app which can be installed in your phone to root ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953)
but first you need to get a firmware in order to install that app
get an stock ROM like 2.2 froyo or 2.1 eclair, then try with the app
edit: My phone is the SM-G800F
So I bought an S5 mini from ebay and verified it was all legit, legit packaging, tested via apps that check everything etc. Everything was saying all legitimate. It was defaulted to German region DBT. I thought everything was fine since during install I had set the phone up as UK English until it came to rebooting after encryption when the keyboard was not standard QWERTY, it was specifically German and since my password is more about pressing of certain on screen keys rather than the info being typed I could not get at my data. Well I downloaded the latest H3G firmware so that it should be in UK English on my own network most likely (My sim's network is 3)
This is what Odin shows:

}
Now, the only difference this time, compared to flashing my S4 mini as I have done lots of times, is when I extracted the zip file for the firmware, 7zip complained about extra data after the payload... I updated to the latest 7zip and so I am not sure what's going on but Odin did not complain about any md5 hash breakage so that should have been fine. Also it came from a different site than I usually get. I got the firmware from two places and it seems the same, no hash breakage. I am downloading one now from sammobile which I think is where I got my S4 mini firmwares from.
Can you think of anything that would make this happen and what I could do to fix it? I tried Kies 3 but it just doesn't work, says something like no compatible devices and then when I try and do the emergency firmware recovery, the device does not show up in the list to even attempt anything.
I would appreciate some guidance on this.
Ok, I flashed the original German firmware and it is siccessful and wants me to set it up again as brand new BUT I need to flash the English firmware.
Is there any way I can flash my UK firmware (H3G) on this German S5 mini? Any extra options I need to select on Odin?
Hello is it possible to downgrade this new firmware release?
I have already tried all other stock ROMS and ODIN FAILED all time.
I just want to confirm if its possible to downgrade, if yes, then how to go back to 5 1 1.
Thank you for reading

I think it is better to prevent user to downgrade their Phones. As you know, since Android 5.1.1 released, Google replace the Samsung Reactivation Lock with their Factory Reset Protection. But in the lower versions of the android, there is many way to bypass this protection on Samsung Devices. Samsung fixed it on their security patches. Just imagine that if user can downgrade their phone to any version of android, when a thief steals the phone, they can easily to bypass it and make the phone become theirs.
Thank you for replying but I am still clueless if I can downgrade that specific android version I showed in screenshot above.
no one?
Have you tried TEKHD's stock-rooted 5.1.1?
You cannot downgrade... Once bootloader is upgraded there is no way back. You can try but highly you'll end with bricked device ... Also if you try custom roms they wont boot due to mismatch bootloader and recovery. Maybe if you search google you will find a way to do it but if i was you i would not take the risk

Hi
I have S20 FE 4G Snap (SM-G780G/DS) with XID original firmware (never rooted, no warranty void bit, Samsung Official software). Since today big OTA update Google Pay says: "Your device doesn't meet security standards"
Where is the problem? New XID Samsung firmware lost certification?
In download mode my phone says: RPMB fuse Set - but I don't know is this normal state
Anyone has a similar problem too?

I find source of trouble (probably) but can't solve it for now.
I have G780G XEO version (Poland). I reflash it with CSC change - XID version (for native call recording). Everything was ok (it updates via OTA several times) until last OTA - my phone gave version G780GXXU3CVH3 (XID) but this version force change to original CSC and now phone show version EUX/XEO. I can flash XEO version but Samsung made different version ended with H1 (instead of H3). If I flash it without reset my data - phone shows as certified, but cellular not working
I can reflash clear XEO but I can't lost my config for now. So I can't fast solution for now
Any ideas?
hmm I thought you could enable native call recording the majority of Samsung roms, I didnt think you needed to change the CSC.
That said is google pay really needed, specially when you have contactless cards now.
Could you tell me how I can do it? XEO don't have native call recording...
I've bought this phone second hand online a year ago and I thought since it's not declared as stolen on IMEI it would be fine.
From what a guy told me it's from france so it's probably connected to a carrier from there, but I haven't figured out how to check myself.
I'd like to know if there any way to get the update without breaking functionality of the phone, like google pay, bluetooth or other issues i've usually had with rooted phones in the past.

It's worth mentioning I tried updating using smart switch and it didn't work.
you can download firmware suitable for your location and flash it with Odin all without triggering Knox, you can even keep your apps but with such a big jump your cache will need wiping afterward from recovery.
if you look in settings / about phone / software info / service provider software version. you should see 3 letters being listed there 3 times. that your (current) CSC code, googling that will tell which network or country the phone is from. you also need to find out the CSC version you want to download for your country. don't pick a CSC for your network, pick for your country.
Looks like your carrier tag is SFR, so if you search for firmware with model: SM-G781B and country: SFR, you will find firmware for it with Android version 13.
