Hey, my buddy has a little problem. After flashing a new Rom on his S3, there is a little red dot on the bootscreen. He use triangle away but this red dot is still there. What is it? Maybe a new method to show Samsung that I rooted my phone?

Looks like artifacts=damaged screen.
If you have warranty, use it.

The screen is not damaged. It's just a bad screenshot
The red dot on top left is something that my device also has. Not all have it. Its an indication that you rooted your device (as far as we know)

I'd still call your provider about getting a possible warranty... if the screen were 'broken' you could get a warranty replacement, so I'm sure that's not what he's suggesting is wrong with your phone. It seems like just a defect of the phone... if it's not causing any problems now, it might in the future... it's hard to say what'll happen but regardless, if you have a warranty the provider is obligated to replace the phone with one that works properly Good luck!

I've got S3 LTE and have the same thing. There's no more Yellow Triangle!!! Now we have Red Mark and its there if you have custom kernel or custom recovery.
Triangle Away works OK but your counter will go back to 0 ONLY when you flash stock kernel& recovery

! Means rooted
It also appears right after I rooted my phone, so no worries.

My phone came back from repairs after "sudden death syndrome" with a new motherboard and freshly-flashed stock firmware; UNROOTED mind you, but sporting the red mark on the screen. Although it was rooted when it died, I can't imagine what component would have been left in the phone to reveal the fact it had been rooted.
So, no: I'm pretty sure it's not root-related. I think it's just a 'feature' of newer boards.
When did your friend get his s3? Because i think devices from soke point have upgraded bootloader which uses that method to show you are rooted, meanwhile my device (bought it in july) doesnt have that yet, maybe study little bit and flash old bootloader, but its risky...

I have same experience... If u root & flash custom roms than the red mark will appear.. If u just wanna root means that just flash cf auto root using odin on stock rom than install triangle away & reset the counter.. After that the red mark will dissappear... Note that cf auto root not include recovery.. It's just root ur phone... If even though u flash chain fire root 6. 4 its include with recovery so u can't reset the counters when ur phone have recovery on ur stock rom

Why are you trying to reset it?? Only reset it if you're planning on sending your phone for repair, if not don't play around with it because you can brick your device, I've not seen it happen but it is possible!

flashed stock odexed 2 times, criskelo, omega, wanam roms and still that red exlamation mark. I can access cwm without any problems,all functions are working, but binary count is always 1, i can reach 5 or more, reset with triangle away but still it will show 1
You may want to consult Chainfire, but i have an idea, flash stock ROM via Odin and check update bootloader, but double check with a senior developer first as I don't want to be responsible for a bricked device. Have you tried flashing with Odin?? Without bootloader update?? And starting again??

All models are I9300 mate (American, far east, Asian and European) all the same model, as Lithuania is in Europe, you should be flashing i9300XXLH3 not ZNBLH3, that's for china! Download I9300XXLH3 and try flashing that!

Sorry, i ll brief it a bit.
I have an s2 , in which i wish to flash paranoid android. I found out a method in these forums which allowed us to root our phone without installing cwm recovery (i.e. cwm through odin). It required only a flashable zip which could be flashed via the stock recovery. After flashing the zip, i was in cwm interface which was temporary and was gone after a reboot.
Wanted to know if this temporary custom recovery could make a nandroid backup and flash paranoid.

Ok.
Now your phone is rooted and you have access to temporary CWM recovery. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
1. Yes, you can use the temporary recovery to create a Nandroid backup.
#So just create your backup now
2. Flash a custom kernel of your choice via the temporary CWM recovery
3. Flash paranoid Android and Gapps.
If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask me

You are right. Once you flash any 4.4.2 firmware containing the Knox bootloader you will not be able to downgrade to 4.3 without triggering the Knox counter and once it is triggered your warranty is void forever (as of now). There is no means to reset the Knox counter as for now like you reset your binary counter using Triangle Away. But if you like 4.4.2 firmware you can still flash it but without the Knox bootloader. Don't use Kies or OTA to update. Download the firmware from www.sammobile.com and extract the rom .tar.md5 file and remove the Knox bootloader and repack it again to .tar.md5 file and flash it using Odin.

I'm very sure it has Knox, even rooted it but Knox prevented the super user app from gaining root access. But very weird on Samsung side, both identical to each other under the same name except for the LTE and one will have and the other doesn't have.

Your phone is the LTE version of SIII. And as per your screen shots, it has the KNOX bootloader. If you try to flash anything, note my words, anything then the KNOX warranty will be void forever. It now there is no way to reset the KNOX counter. Don't try to flash anything if your phone is still under warranty. Forget about flashing custom ROMs even rooting will trigger the KNOX counter.

The only way is to flash any .ftf of any Android version for your phone. Be sure to select all the 3 wipes and the other 2 options (no final verification and reset customizations) That will clear everything. The microSD will not be touched in any way nor the micro SIM card.

The only way is to flash any .ftf of any Android version for your phone. Be sure to select all the 3 wipes and the other 2 options (no final verification and reset customizations) That will clear everything. The microSD will not be touched in any way nor the micro SIM card.

U don't have to wipe data to upgrade systems nor do u have to select reset customisation.

Hi, Glad to help!!
The file you need will be mirrored for your convenience
Flashable Version Here : https://www.dropbox.com/s/3e1glbph00y6vfs/Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.flashable.zip?dl=0
Installer Version (You need a PC for this (this can be used if you cannot flash the above file)) <<<<<<< I recommend this one
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5jnx1dswl1idcry/Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.installer.zip?dl=0
1. There is no egypt version so. it doesnt matter it will still work so download this after you have recovery installed. rom file :https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5DlGMq6XYFWYzZVemdjcHdkVW8/view
when your phone boots up and you see the led colours press volume down(repeatadly) for twrp recovery press install and locate the rom file and swipe to confirm flash.
after the rom zip is installed flash the nut recovery *zip* so you can read/write to the system for proper root
There u go bud
Thanks,
Mohamed

I checked all the firmwares and it seems your country does not have its own firmware It doesn't matter what country firmware you use. 4g LTE and data will still work (at least that's what I have experienced)
And yes, im pretty sure PC companion's repair will wipe ur phone to stock
Bro, Egypt has no firmware ... Check your customisation number.....I think it should be kuwait or KSA.

Hi, I bought a Samsung S6 Edge used.. It was previously rooted and the knox counter was tripped...
I'm having some serious issues with it. From apps/google services to crash. It was previously rooted so I flashed the stock firmware on the phone. Even when I setup the phone (language and google accounts) some services crash... I can't recieve OTA Updates anymore because the status is set to custom and Triangle away does not work on S6's. I can't replicate anything to make a certain app crash, it's just random.. I need your help because i tried everything I could..
Stuff I did:
Flashed stock firmware (5.0.2)
Flashed an Update (5.1.1)
Factory reset and cache reset in boot loader.
Factory reset then flash the odin updates and let me know the results. In that order is how i unrooted mine while im waiting for the android m update

Okay, wouldn't a factory reset bring the status to official if I did it after the stock flash with Odin?

The data partition keeps record after the update has been complete so the update will still see something has been done so doing one before the other will solve it i believe. If it doesnt ill see if i can help you solve it.

Got the updates from sammobile .. Kind of pissed off.. bought this phone used and tought it wouldn't bug as much :/
Did you download the latest update that shows on the site because if you accidently downgrade this can happen. I did so with my tablet and had a lot of issues including sammobile was being too glitchy and not letting me sogn up but glitched by it with tapatalk and flashed the latest update from sammobile ans it worked

That's odd. Are you flashing the correct firmware for your variant? What variant do you have and what firmware did you Odin?

I have the SM-G925W8 (Canadian version)
I flashed the correct firmware 5.1.1 (G925W8VLU2BOI1) . I also tried another 5.0.2 firmware back when I was running (5.0.2) it wouldn't change the binary status or make it so apps don't crash& I dont have random freezes/reboots..

This is odd being that you tried a factory reset. Are you sure that you have the latest Google play services?
