I rooted my phone a while back and decided to unroot it recently.
But as a result, I'm now unable to connect to the play store or YouTube, worse still I can't update my phone. Apparently I tripped the knox counter, does anyone have a solution?
I can still connect to the Internet and use downloaded applications though.

KNOX has nothing to do with Google. That's only related to Samsung. It's why you can't update, but it's not responsible for Google Play or Youtube.
The KNOX counter can't be reset.
Check your clock. If the time's off, Google's apps don't work.
As for updating, use ODIN (Do not use the site Odindownload, that's malware), grab the firmware off Sammobile and flash it manually.

Good day,
I have a samsung galaxy s3 i9305 LTE and I have been using this device without problems for around 2 years now. It runs on Jellybean 4.3 baseband version i9305zhucnb1. It has been running on this firmware for a couple months now ever since it has been rolled out. The problem is, the WIFI suddenly stopped working. Never had this problem before and I actually never had any problems with this device ever. Whenever I turn on WIFI, it detects my home networks and other networks wherever I go but whenever I try to connect, it just shows saved secured, and sometimes authentication error after a couple of attempts. I have other WIFI devices at home and all are working perfectly. I tried forgetting the networks and I am positive that the WIFI password is correct. I tried to restore the device to facroty settings hoping that it would work. I tried accessing my router and I'm sure my device isn;t blocked. I even configured my routers to only accept the mac address of my device and block all others but still wouldn't connect. I tried rooting my device via odin but my device blocks root access and shows the error message "an application attempted to access system on your device without authorization. this attempt has been blocked.". I tried rooting it to try flashing custom roms. I also tried dialling *#0011# to configure my wifi but it still does not work. I don't think that the problem is my firmware because I had it for months and it didn't update before the issue occured. I was also about to try downgrading it to an ICS stock rom since I can't root it to try custom ROMs. I've been trying to fix this for days now. Can you guys give me a step by step instruction on how to fix this if it is at all possible? And maybe give me a link where I can download ICS or lower stock ROM's for this device. I think I have to use a TGY firmware, though I don't have an idea what it means. Thanks!
Wifi module
Maybe you've dropped your phone and the WIFI module loosened, and it can't work correctl?

Maybe it's time for factory reset? I know that's the easy solution and most complicated but you should do it from time to time.

i decided to have it checked by a local technician and according to them, this was still a software issue. i dont know what to do anymore. they insisted that i should just keep flashing stock roms to fix these. already tried flashing the 4.3 tgy jellybean stock rom so i was thinking of flashing other version stocks. can anyone give e a good link where i can download tgy stock roms 4.1.2 or even ICS stock roms. I also am having problems with rooting the device. it gives me error message "an application attempted to access system on your device without authorization. this attempt has been blocked." after flashing autoroot in odin. my knox is not installed. thanks.

dont know
the first time i brought this to them is when i attempted to flash an incompatible firmware. they also did not fix it. they said they dont have any available stock rom for i9305 and told me to download and flash one. mayba im just gonna have to look for a different technician when i have free time. so for the mean time, im trying to look for other fixes. btw, i tried downloading a tgy 4.1.2 stock rom and it does not flash successfully. for now i'm thinking of rooting and flashing custom roms. but whenever i flash auto root. it gives me the error message "an application attempted to access system on your device without authorization. this attempt has been blocked.". i tried updating supersu still the same thing. i manually installed root checker and says it does not have root access and it shows the said error message again. what should i do with that? Thanks
Hi there, guys! Yesterday I upgraded the rom on my Galaxy I9305 FROM 4.3 to 4.4.4 KitKat with Odin on my laptop, after that I rooted it also with Odin. The 4.3 was release for Orange operator and now it is German 4.4.4 if it matters. So after the root and starting the phone a message appeared supersu cannot start or so, which is normal, so I've entered in Google play and tried to update supersu', but it only give me an option to open it, but when I do it crashes with the same message. Tried to install it manually from the phone memory, but without success, it tries to instal, but then it shows that the app is not installed. The app supersu is in the device/system folder anyway and cannot be deleted ( I tried with hard reset). So I've tried to reroot the phone with odin, but none of my laptops recognizes the phone anymore, it charges, but that's all a message that the hardware cannot be regnized appears. I have another Galaxy S3, that connects easly with all my laptops so I'm guessing that the supersu app is involved. And YES I tried to reinstal the drivers and Samsung kies. I've rooted LG, Sony and my other Glaxy s3 which is i9300 enough times to know how to doit again, but never had that kind of a problem. I hope that someone here can help me. Thank you!
There was that one thing that I didn't try, that did the job finally: I Installed the supersu app but this time from the system/app folder, after that it tried to disable knox but without success, so I have rebooted the phone, but then supersu app was unable to start again, so I installed it one more time ( it works only if I install it from system/app folder) and this time disabled knox successfully.After that the connection with my laptop was piece of cake. That's all, this thread can be locked!
Okay I have read many many threads. I have been searching for days and reading to the poi the where I'm about to just give up and smash my phone. I have a rooted note 3. Sm9005. Last week I tried using the freedom app with market enabler to mod the play store for free purchases, etc. Well I don't think I did it right because my play store stopped working group and kept force closing. I factory reset and tried to reinstall an updated play store but it still will not work. I tried Dow loading clockwork mod and flash the stock firmware. No luck. I tried to flash darthstalker rom. No luck. My phone will not connect to my pc even when USB debugging on. So I have to flash without a computer. I tried reinstalling samsung drivers but that doesnt work. I need someone with knowledge and patience. Please help somebody. I've looked and tried everything. I don't want to brick my phone.
Did it go to download mode? Odin detect it?
Well there's Odin

I've Galaxy S4 Verizon - SCH1545 with 5.0.1 Lollipop and Baseband 1545VRUGOF1. Bought a month ago, it worked fine for 15 days but then sound went off. Also I was unable to play any video nor any application is working. Getting error of Unfortunately UI has stopped and(App) is not responding. Upon trying below steps, sound comes sometime and app works fine then but it doesn't stay long when again starts same behavior. I get it when start phone and it doesn't play the sound when shows Samsung logo.
1. Cleared the cache of Play Store, Google Framework and Google Play Services
2. Wiped cache partition and Factory Reseted
3. Rooted the device
4. Unable to install TWRP or CWM
5. Odin gives Nand write error
6. If phone stuck with "Use Verizon Software Repair Assistant...", able to bring it back by CF Auto JFLTEXX-GTI9505.tar.md5. Although Odin gives error but after error, I disconnect the USB cable and phone starts
7. Tried Verizon Software Repair Assistant and Samsung Kies to update the firmware but same issue
8. Can't find GooManager in Play Store. Installed by APK but GooManager doesn't find any list or unable to find Script (to install TWRP)
9. Rooted the phone. Confirmed by Root Checker but Flash Fire shows "are you rooted?"
will be very thankful for anyone who has idea or had same problem.
As far as I understand custom recoveries are only available for MDK. Your best bet is to odin your current build and start there.

I don't mind any rom or whatever settings are. Just want to solve sound and other issues I'm facing.
I tried Samsung Kies and Verizon Software Repair Assistant to reload the firmware but still the same issue of sound goes off, youtube, apps and videos don't play.
I know its not hardware problem because this all gets ok sometimes after maybe reset, wipe cache, clear play store/services storage or factory reset... then goes off again after some time.
thanks for the reply
noticed one more thing. If I keep it off for few hours, the sound come back. And again goes off after some time.
Hey! So yeah, loving the phone but it's giving me a headache; it's not rooted or tampered with. Not even OEM unlocked. Only developer options were unlocked. Apps and settings were migrated from my previous Samsung phone with SmartSwitch.

All kinds of root and safetynet and whatever apps pass and software and security patches are up to date (Google Play 1 January 2023, Android security patch 1 February 2023, Status: Official)
But Samsung Pass says "Your device has been rooted. Samsung Pass cannot be used on rooted devices for security reasons." Banking apps are obscure but one does give some hints as to the possible causes: modification attempt through hooking, using untrusted screen reader application, root or jailbreak, using untrusted keyboard application.
I use AdGuard and a 3rd party launcher (Flick) instead of OneUI and FlorisBoard keyboard but even if they are uninstalled the issue stays. I don't use any other major apps, just a bunch of regular apps. I don't use "screen reader" as far as I know and TalkBack is disabled.
This is really annoying and I can see dozens of similar cases even for older Sxx generations sometimes after updates and happening out of nowhere and even with new stock phones. People report that sometimes factory reset helps but sometimes doesn't and sometimes it only helps for a while.
I really don't want to factory reset just to try if it works until I exhausted all other options. It took me well over a day to set up everything the way I wanted.
Any help other than reset is very much appreciated!
Find Samsung Pass in apps...and clear data.
^Thanks, but it didn't help.

I have the same issue and Im thinking about it is caused by smart switch from my old s21u which was rooted. Did You use smart switch too? Maybe I should do a factory reset, but then I lose all my stuff..
^Yep, I also used SmartSwitch with a rooted S9+. And I did find a few posts about SmartSwitch being the issue. But there are also some posts that said that reseting and not using SmartSwitch but manually installing all the apps they used the issue came back later. So far not using SmartSwitch is the only thing that might help but hopefully there's something else I can do to fix this without reseting.

My banking apps refused to work until I closed developer mode, it worked normally again, give it a try it may help, otherwise do a hard reset, and don't use smart switch next time

Install Riru. It will tell you what symptoms of root it detects and could help to understand the cause of this issue.

HOLY ****! I could kiss you right now! That tool is awesome!
It was Xposed installed automatically with SmartSwitch which I didn't notice or even ever opened on this phone. Uninstalled it and everything works! Thank you!
I had magisk installed lmao.. (cuz of the smart switch)
