I flashed vcorerootv2 via Odin and found out that I accidentally update my old stock ROM (MH2) to updated ROM (CNA3) which has a KNOX (from Philippines). Then most features including Wi-Fi are not working and when I decide to download and flash the stock ROM (CNA3) just to go back to normal, now it stuck in Samsung logo and it says:
Security Fail: Kernel.
I tried flashing custom recovery but I can't still access to recovery (security fail: kernel). Only in download mode.
Sounds bricked and trigged KNOX warranty void. But I just can't find how to get rid of this. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you tried flashing an older firmware on Odin?

I've tried. But to no avail. Still prompted as secure fail: kernel.
I messed up with kernel I think. But I still consider this as a soft bricked since I can still access to download mode. So I assumed there's any chance to get back this to normal.

I just picked up a used S3 and tried rooting using S3 Toolkit. I loaded the .tar in Odin3 and everything seemed to go fine, got a green PASS square. But the phone will not boot past the sammy logo. I can get back to download option. In download mode the top left shows:
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (7 counts) I've tried a few times to flash the .tar
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: Enable
I used this guide to try flashing both the secure and insecure .tar:

Do you have an International Galaxy S3 quadcore or US Dual core S3. If not Inetrnational exynos quadcore cpu you`re in the wrong Forum !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pull the battery,wait for 30 seconds. Reinsert the battery and reboot in download mode and flash CF-Root with Odin v3 3.0.4 for superSU, CWM and busybox. See item 1 in my signature how to do it. After you`re rooted instal Triangle Away from the same CF-Root thread and reset the binary counter from 7 to 0.
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: Enable
In your post says you are in the wrong forum see sticky top of the page .
Do not flash any firmware this is a different phone .
Take advice from the correct forum .
jje
Yes, bone head mistake on my part. I searched for Samsung Galaxy S3 and ended up in the non-Verizon forum. Stupid me.
Luckily I was able to get it all sorted once I found the right forum.

Hi guys,
my home-button of my i9300 is very buggy and loose, so I want to give it in for repair!
At the Moment i use Jelly Bam (AOSP - CM 10.1 based on 4.2.1)
so for my warranty i have to unroot etc. => factory state (Stock rom with software branding)
I read some Tutorials and watch videos, but i always see people using Samsung Stock ROMs and then the start TriangleAway for reseting the counter. (the counter thing is new for me because i came from HTC Desire^^)
so my QUESTION is:
Can i start and reset TriangleAway on my AOSP-ROM-> reset the counter and then flash the STock rom with odin? Or should i flash a Samsung ROM and after that i shoud use TriangleAway ?!
Quote from TriangleAway-Thread
Note#2: on new devices like the SGS3/SGNote2/SGNote10.1, the "system modified" status can only be reset on some firmwares - they must be stock firmwares!

sry but i dont want to hurt my device or brick it
pleeeeeeeeease help me!!!!! thx
You could try it, but I recommend going to a stock rom, then using CF-Root, then immediately boot back up and unroot in SuperSu, And then wipe data and you should be fine.
Thinking of it because AOSP requires a custom kernel and recovery the bootloader will detect those and automatically set your flash counter to 1, you have to be on completely stock, then you can use CF-root, etc.

Hello!
I soft bricked my Samsung Galaxy s3 GT-I9300
I don't know how...
I tried flashing cutom roms, stock roms and kernels...nothing works
ODIN says: NAND write start!! Then it fails everytime.
So i'm looking forward to send it back to the service centre as it is supposedly still on warranty. To benefit from the warranty, the custom binary download should be "No".
My phone can still go into download mode, recovery mode is inaccessible.
In download mode it sayS:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (5 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
Is there any way I can reset the custom binary download to "No" ?
PS: According to some videos on YouTube, USB jigs only get the phone in download mode, it does NOT reset the custom binary download counter.
Please help me, thank you.

a wrong post! sorry for that!
Sorry, you can only use triangle away before failure. After failure, there is nothing that anyone can do.
Please let this be a lesson to people. Keep on top of your Custom download with Triangle away

did you try flashing twrp recovery?
I own a Galaxy S4 locked to AT&T. I had my phone rooted and i was running on 4.4.2 through OTA update with NI1 baseband. I also had installed safestrap as my recovery. I was trying to unlock my phone and a guide said to downgrade to NB1 and so i downgraded to NB1 through odin as I read. After doing so my phone was stuck on the AT&T logo while booting. So i tried to flash back to NI1 but the phone went to a bootloop with and i still had 'custom' below the samsung logo when it booted. I tried to fix it with Kies but it failed to fix it and now all i get is ' Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I tried to fix it through Kies emergency firmware recovery and also through Kies firmware upgrade and initialisation and after downloading the firmware it shows it encountered and unknown error and when it does not show anything in the list below in recovery window. I tried flashing NI1 stock recovery and kernel as well as NC1. But couldn't fix it. I also tried to see how to get rid of odin mode but still i failed to fix it.
At the top of the screen after turning it on it says:
ODIN MODE (shows in red color)
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0

In download mode when kies fails two more lines in red are added :

SV REV. CHECK FAIL : fused , Binary : 1
Thanks to all you for your time. This is my first post I am sorry if i made it lengthy with irrelevant and or unnecessary information. Thank you once again.

It's not uncommon to have to do a factory reset after doing an Odin restore. I'd use it to reflash the latest version and use the stock recovery to reset and then try to reboot.

I tried to. i can not flash stock recovery back. it says pass in odin but when it boots up it says custom and gets stuck in a boot lop for sometime then shuts it self down. Am i doing something wrong? Did I flash an outdated stock recovery or something? I wanted to odin NI1 but i couldnt find complete odin files for it just found rooted ones.

I think that update is only available via OTA file. Looks like you should still be able to do NB1. Check here for details on the upgrade path suggested:

Hi,
I was trying to reinstall the Stock Samsung Firmware 02U 5.0.1 using Odin and I would get a Pit error so I downloaded the file and would still get another error so I decided to reboot, instead of the device getting stuck on the glowing Samsung splash screen it goes straight to the error
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
