I rooted my SM-T820 using Ashyx guide, but decided to return to stock. I downloaded the stock Rom from Sammobile and loaded it with Odin (AP, BL, CSC). It says its back to stock (no boot messages and it shows stock in download menu). But it won't let me use Samsung Pass as it says it's rooted. Root checker apps say it isn't. It only appears to be a problem with Samsung Pass.
Any ideas?

There is a nasty little feature called KNOX which causes this problem. AS SOON as you flash anything custom, KNOX will get triggered (it shows 0x1 in Download Mode). After that, WHATEVER you do, it will not recover. All the KNOX protected apps, Secure Folder and Samsung Pay are notable examples, will completely stop working. There are methods to spoof and make Secure Folder work, but Samsung Pass I have no idea...
hit thanks if it helped, means a lot to me

I need help from you guys. I have a tmobile galaxy s4, I was rooted with cm11 4.4.2 and I tried to unroot to stock with odin and a firmware, but I fail and got a soft brick the first time. I download different odins and firmwares and finally got it to work, PASS I have stock 4.2.2 m919uvuemk2. but when it restarted I tried to delete wipe cache partition and reboot like it ask me to but it didn't work. Every time I reboot phone it gives me a message before it turns onit says kernel is not seandroid enforcing and set warranty bit kernel. My phone works fine except the wifi, it doesn't turn on. the devise status still say CUSTOM and I can not software update it says your devise your devise has been modify. I checked for root access and there is none. what can I do to fix this problems, should I reroot and use triangle away to delete the BINARY AND KNOX messages and after try to use a 4.3 firmware instead of 4.2.2. I want to have a complete stock phone that I can do OTA updates. Can some one please give the steps and point me in the right direction so I can take care of this problems. Thank You...
So earlier today I had some time on my hands and decided to try and root my Rogers Note Edge phone. I failed miserably and now my phone does not seem to have an operating system and continuously restarts. I tried to restore it back to its factory settings, via Odin and Factory but with no success. Can anyone help me?
Not without more details.
What build number of the software were you on?
Which method to root did you use?
What else did you do to it (just rooting should not remove the operating system)?
What build number of the software did you try to reload with Odin?
Did the Odin flash work or did it fail with an error of some type?
i used everything in this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993
-Odin3 v3.07
-twrp v2.8.6
odin failed and then passed twrp, on reboot my phone died. once charged it kept rebooting over and over. I can still get into download and recovery mode again but now twrp says i have no os and I also noticed while it charges it says "kernel is not seandroid enforcing", "set warranty bit:kernel"
You said that you used everything in that guide, but you made no mention of trying to load a rom. That's the next step... If you have no OS, you've got 2 choices. A rom or reload stock firmware via Odin.
Thanks for the support. I made it back to my stock os through smart switch, finally! But Im no longer rooted and Knox is still 0x1. I plan on trying again, should i use the same guide? Just wondering because it seems more based for American carriers , and I'm in Canada.
That guide is for Tmobile version, not yours. That's why it wasn't working right. I'm not aware of a method to reset the Knox counter. You can just install TWRP and use that to install SuperSU from Chainfire for root access.
Well if I can get root tonight I'll let ya know if triangleaway works for Knox reset. Had it recommended from a friend, guess you can get it off the play store.
Before I start, my phone IS rooted (Rooted with KingRoot 4.4.2)
So as I was trying to put my phone's SELinux from Enforcing to Permissive, i've come across editting the build.prop file successfully, setting 'ro.build.selinux' or whatever it was to 1. Then, that wasn't working, I was told deleting Knox (which I've already uninstalled and deleted all of the apps for it), but the files were still left behind, so it was still there. I grabbed Root Explorer and deleted everything of Knox. The next time I rebooted, my phone was stuck on the Verizon logo screen, got past the Samsung screen fine. So my phone is now bricked from deleting the stupid Knox core files and stuff and I can't find the damn recovery tar/md5 file for it anywhere; I used to have it, but since I've upgraded to Windows 10 a few months earlier, I formatted everything due to unneeded storage being tooken up and lost it in the deletion process. So I ask, does anyone have the recovery file that boots the stock, I remember the file I had what it was named - something like "VRUFND7_i605T0LTEVZW4.4.2_HOME.tar.md5" something like that..including those words I doubt it would be named the same way as this, but PLEASE help me. I need my phone for many purposes and it is the only one I have.
I have hosted the files on my website here and you can get them form the forms below

Go Here and download either of the Firmware Files and download the pit file (MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AT WHAT BOXES TO CHECK AND UNCHEK IN ODIN) http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...note2-return-100-stock-updated-5-12-13-a.html
Unlock your boot loader

root your phone with ANY other way on XDA besides Kingo Root. Only use Kingo root as a last resort when their is NO root method available for your device.
Also get use the Clockworkmod recovery . I could not get roms to boot or flash property on the TWRP Recovery. I had to Odin back multiple times.

If you were previously on the stock Verizon firmware 4.4.2 ND7, (which I'm assuming you were), then you have a phone with a locked bootloader that has no current method to unlock it. Adam Outler's Back Atcha Verizon and Casual won't work to unlock the bootloader.
You also cannot downgrade the phone to a previous firmware version because of the unlockable bootloader. Regular Custom recoveries such as CWM will not work either because of the locked bootloader. The only custom recovery that currently works on the locked 4.4.2 bootloader is Safestrap, which is a modified version of TWRP.
If you were previously on stock 4.4.2 ND7 before everything got messed up, then you can only restore the phone back to stock 4.4.2. You can find the stock 4.4.2 firmware at Sammobile.com. It costs nothing to download it from Sammobile, but you will have to register which is free.
If you can still boot the phone into Odin mode (i.e. Volume down+home button+power button), then you should hopefully be able to use Odin to restore the phone back to stock 4.4.2 firmware to get it working again.
Recognized XDA Contributor Droidstyle put together a detailed guide on how to restore the phone back to stock firmware. See the guide under section 1b here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181
The guide is still accurate for the most part, except you'll need to restore the phone back to the 4.4.2 Stock firmware (assuming that's what firmware version you were on previously), which you'll have to get from Sammobile since it's not available through Droidstyle's guide. Also, if you use the newer version of Odin like version 3.0.9, then you have to load the phone's firmware into the AP slot, (not the PDA slot which is mentioned in Droidstyle's guide.... the PDA slot is what used to be used in ODIN 3.0.7 and older Odin versions).
Hello ,
About a year ago i rooted my phone using kingroot , however i did not replace the kingroot su with super user app the reason for that was because i just wanted to delete some bloatware on my device and then would remove root again .
I proceeded with downloading Titanium Backup and deleted some of the bloatware among which i deleted the default email app from the phone . Not knowing how to properly remove root access from the phone i simply deleted kingroot believing that this would make me lose root access on the phone .
The problem now is that i need to restore the default email app which i previously deleted because an error message keeps popping up on my phone repeadetly ( Unfortunately , Email has stopped ) and it has gotten to the point where the phone is almost unusable . What i want to know is this :
1- Is it possible to install just the kingroot superuser or some other super user so i can use root to download titanium backup again ?
2- Will titanium backup be able to restore the default email app after i download it ?
Oh wow okay you have a few options. One is to use the SuperSUme app to replace kingroot super user with SuperSU. First, you can try downloading superSU from the play store and then titanium backup. I'm not sure if titanium backup will bring back your e-mail app or not. I guess it depends if you backed it up. When all else fails, you can use the flash fire app (given you have superSU) to flash the OF1_rooted_stock_ROM file. This will take you back to 100% stock with root. If that even fails your last option is to use ODIN on your PC to flash the stock ODIN firmware file for whatever firmware you are on. If you want to unroot, getting superSU is a must because it has an unroot option built in.
All of the files I mentioned are either found here in the forums and/or on the play store. Do note that if you're going to use flash fire, the only version you can use is version 0.53.
Lastly, I have written a guide here that may help you with rooting in the future. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...h-i545-pl1-t3846576/post77710697#post77710697

Hello and thanks for the reply , I tried getting SuperSU but it doesn't show up on my play store .
Is it possible to use Odin to flash the stock 5.0.1 ROM for my phone without the superuser and will that reset the phone and return the e-mail app ?
Also assuming this way will work where can i get Odin ?
And also will this interfere with the carrier ? Since the phone is VZW but i am using it on another carrier not in USA currently , will that make the phone unusable with other carriers or its quite unlikely ?
Thanks in advance and sorry to bother you once again ,

You will need to get the superSU apk file off the web and install it from there then. You can flash the OF1_rooted_stock_ROM file with flash fire 0.53 and that will give you 100% stock with root. You can also flash the ODIN full stock .tar file found here in the forums and that will also get you back to 100% stock.
The Verizon galaxy s4 is carrier unlocked. To use data though you have to set the correct APN settings for the network you are using. I have AT&T and have used my SIM card in my Verizon galaxy s4 before.

Actually i flashed the official OF1 firmware with odin and it restored the default apps without any problems .
I don't know if this means the phone was unrooted before but several root checkers i tried said that the phone was rooted but the superuser app was missing .
Nevertheless , i thank you for helping me out it might seem little but its thanks to you that i turned to odin and now my phone is in a perfect condition
Yep as I said you can flash the ODIN tar file for OF1 and get back to 100% stock. Good thing that did it for you. As for superSU, you can get it off chain fire website I believe.
If you ODIN back to stock, it more than likely unrooted. Odd that root checker says you're rooted. No problem, glad to help whenever I can. Happy flashing!
Hello.
I've got an Samsung Galaxy A02s phone, which previously been Knox locked by service provider.
Fortunatelly for me, I was lucky enough to open settings and remove Knox app.
Now I can use this phone like it never been locked, except didn't tried to factory reset it.
My question is, after factory reset will Knox be active again? If so, is it gonna lock phone again?
Is it possible to flash this phone with Android that is Knox-free.?

To do it , in first download your system phone and flash it with Magisk and save it in a PC and install odin (on ur pc) and install you patched firmware with Odin.
Do I have to modify the system downloaded from my phone?
If so, how to modify it properly?
Download your firmware, unzip it and flash the AP file with Magisk app and save the New AP file patched with magisk in tour PC. After put your Phone in download mod and install new AP patched in ap slot on Odin.
Could any of you provide instructions how to remove Knox with Magisk step by step?
Never used that software and I'm kind of afraid of doing something wrong, that could cause bricking my phone.
