Hello
The title says it all, I recently rooted my device using Ping-Pong root, now I would like to flash the zip that installs cerberus as a system app so it can withstand a factory reset, now I heard that it's possible you flash zips with flashfire and still have Knox untripped only if Zip does not affect Kernel, Recovery or Bootloader... another question would flashing xposed with flashfire trip knox??
Thank you

Well, anybody or devs who can explain to me why the official OTA would trip flash counter for noob like me?
I did flash CWM 5.5.0.4 via ODIN that caused counter to become 1.
Then flashed Super User v0.87 (now updated v0.93) via CWM, and counter stayed at 1.
I did not get into download mode after that, nor flashed anything via CWM.
No custom Rom installed yet.
Installed insecure boot using Samsung Tool Kit V1.0 by Mksip (great tool):good:
Then OTA update this morning.
It downloaded fine, and after backing up Google search by TB, I tried to install.
I went into recovery automatically, and gave me "installation aborted. unverified signature"
So I went into download mode to check, and it shows flash counter now upto 3.
And shows as custom binary, and custom Rom.
I know I did not install any custom ROM yet, why does it think as custom rom and binary?
Is it because of insecure boot I installed?
Any light to this is so much appriciated for my learning for android.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Guys
I have an International SGS3 and it is still in it's stock status. I don't want to loose the update OTA nor via Kies and also I don't want to trigger the binary counter.
Q1-How can I perform NAND backup to my stock phone without loosing all of these..?
Q2- Does unlocked boot loader with custom recovery(CWM) boot via Android SDK will trigger the the binary counter ?
* when reboot from the custom recovery (cwm) via Android SDK the phone will automatically restores the stock boot-loader
you cant make nandroid backup with stock phone/recovery.
rooting gives you cwm recovery which in turn triggers binary counter.. but there are many ways to reset binary counter.

Hey there. I want to install CM11 to my I9205 but I can't seem to root it. I've read most of the threads about it, but nothing works for me. It just shows me a security warning from KNOX and SuperSU says that there is no binary installed.

You probabely have OTA update recently... now you have ROM with Samsung KNOX security system and with new bootloader. If you want to root your Mega and you are willing to accept irreversible tripping Knox counter (= warranty void) you can find many tutorials how to root ypour phone and disable Knox. Basically it needs essentially to instal custom recovery using Odin and then installing Super user from recovery. But ask yourself the troble to find exact procedure.
Note: now you can not downgrade your firmware to version without Knox. Any attempt will end in bricking your phone.
So if you want CM11 you have to root (with tripping flash counter = warranty void), installing custom recovery CWM or TWRP and then installing CM11 ROM nad choosen version of gapps (ROMs AOKP or CN type are lacked all Google apps so if you wnat it you have to flash it separately)

Thanks for the reply. I've managed to install a custom recovery, but I can't seem to make the root work. I have tried both CWM and TWRP, and still can't get SuperSU to work properly.

try to use this information.
As I said in other place - in such situation the best way is to start completely anew:
- Download firmware (e.g from Sammobile)
- Install it by Odin
- Install custom recovery
- Root phone
In provided links you should find detailed description how to do it. Bear in mind so for successfull installing custom rom's you HAVE TO disable KNOX e.g as is decribed there

Good luck
Hi, I had a phone which had a corrupted EFS. I followed the procedure here -> http://zidroid.com/how-to-fix-failed-to-mount-efs-for-galaxy-s3-gt-i9300/ and the unit is now booting fine. but it is factory mode. I saw the follow up post regarding how to remove the factory mode, but that requires root access. I flashed CWM recovery on my phone, and also SuperSU. However, after I had flashed superSU, KNOX came into the picture. I cant run SuperSU because of KNOX. So I searched how to remove KNOX. Since I still hadnt had ROOT, I tried to remove it using the steps outlined by samsung. However, when I open the KNOX app in the appdrawer, it says It hasnt been installed yet and I need to install it... so I try to install it, but after downloading it cant install it due to it being in factory mode!! (!!!)
So now I am stuck. I need to exit factory mode, and I need root. I cant root because of KNOX. I cant disable KNOX because I need root (or need to install KNOX to remove it??)
I also found a zip file Degrated_Shadow's_KNOX_removerV2.1 but it didn't work..
any help would be appreciated!
The i9300 doesn't have knox.
It does on 4.3.. I get a "An application attempted to access system on your device without authorization" it has the shield logo..
No. The i9300 does not have knox on 4.3 or any other version.
Either you don't have an i9300 or have some other software installed.
Hey guys,
I have just recently purchased my Galaxy S6 Edge. It's a decent phone aside from a lot of bloatware, massive battery drainage etc.
What I would like to do is get the deodexed XtreStoLite rom on my device, have it rooted on 5.1.1 with SuperSu (I would like to keep the fingerprint scanner working if possible) and install recovery such as CWM or TWRP. I am not too bothered about Knox being tripped, I don't plan to ever use Samsung Pay so the efuse being blown doesn't bother me.
I just would like to know the order of how to flash/install these. Do I flash the rom first? Then use rooting software such as Ping Pong? Or CF Root? Do I install the recovery BEFORE root? Etc etc.
If you guys could help me with this that would be great!
Flash recovery via ODIN https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347765202
Flash custom kernel with auto root via TWRP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347808102
Reboot to check root.
Flash ur new rom via TWRP
Flash custom kernel again.
Enjoy
Hey, is it the same procedure if I want to use CWM rather than TWRP?
Also, there does appear to be a UniKernel v8-0002 ODIN FLASHABLE. I assume process would then be flash with Odin, reboot to check root, flash new rom with Odin, then flash the kernel again with Odin.
If that is the case then no recovery would be required right?
Make sure drivers are installed first especially if using windows 10 I would use 8.1 or 7 I also had problems downloading original stock firmware this is required first just incase you brick your device

Thank you guys, I managed it quite easily, although guys, if you feel the need to wipe your caches from within TWRP, don't put a cross in the system option thinking it won't hurt anything, it wiped my android and had to reflash stock rom lmao.
All is well though now, got the UniKernel (rooted) with XtreStoLite deodexed on my S6 Edge with no issues, latest modem and bootloader files too. Fingerprint lock capable right out of the box. I'm a happy camper, now to get it loaded with Nova launcher and all the other goodies. Anyone recommend any of their favourite apps?
Also what frameworks you recommend? Xposed etc?
do u have fingerprint work after root and recovery and which files u use and the method ... thanx
