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

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..

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??

nah, it was for i9300 model and i didnt success in flashing it. Got error at pc odin, and flashed stock LH1 firmware.
atleast i'm able to flash everything, sucks that if i will need to take phone to samsung service, it will be without warranty
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!

you have installed the UK's firmware but the CSC code is still KOR(Korea), change that if necessary. relevent information not provided about the problem!! try to explain properly..
How do I change the CSC code?
The problem was that I would rather do the update through kies than odin, but I cant do it through kies because of my CSC being different.

If you have stock rom not rooted then you will get OTA you wont get OTA if you have a rooted phone only kies, but kies has to see your rom correctly so you need to change the CSC

Rooting and Un-Rooting will not wipe your phone data.
Don't use the root method from my signature though unless you are doing it on a SGS3 if it's a Nexus 7, check in that forum for rooting / un-rooting tools.
As you have two different signatures for these posts.
Ok ive messed around for ages now and I still can't get Kies to update my phone
I've gone back to 4.1.2 Device status as Normal and Kies still says NOPE U AINT UPDATING ON HERE
Does anyone know why it wont update?
Is it still the CSC?
And why doesn't it install the full Rom including the CSC when doing full BTU UK flash

If i flash 4.4.2 rom, and i want to go back to 4.3. It is safe to flash or is imposible to revert to 4.3?
I read that note3 is imposible to revert to 4.3 because of knox.

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.

Just to be sure. Does this mean it has no traces of Knox including boot loader and the warranty flag? If so, the second last line in download mode. This was on my GT-I9305

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.

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.

Get xposed and use greenify. If not that install an app that stops other apps from running in the background and draining your battery.

Ok first off, go on Google and read up on xposed framework.
Second, search on xda for Samsung xposed framework. Your going to find which apk applies to your phone and flash it with Flashfire after you back up your phone. I'm assuming your rooted. Flashfire is beta so use Google to fund the link and download the beta. Honestly if you don't know what xposed it your probably not advanced to do any of this and don't blame me of it breaks your phone but I could guide you through it if you want.

Here's the links for Samsung, flash the one for your device through Flashfire. I don't think that message showed for me so you might not have the latest xposed installer. But I could just be forgetting.

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
Can you tell me which one of these should i download? Here are my phone stats...

The correct xposed installer is on the same page as the xposed zips and I'm pretty sure it's the second to last one but I could be wrong. Nothing bad will happen if you flash the wrong zip though.
