Hey surge, I have problem flashing mk2 full wipe . Currently on mj7 bootloader with safestrap installed . When ever i try to flash it ends up at system img sometimes it gives a secure check fail and sometimes it goes through modem and ends up at apn hlos something like that , Tried almost everything did uninstalled kies nothing happens . And odin keeps my phone adding and removing when on system img flash. ??

Fixed:

Finally Fixed it by uninstalling the drivers and installing back again and restarted . Then loaded the tar.md5 in ap and ignored the pit file because it was already there in the tar so everything went well. Cheers :D

hitting a brick wall

I've downloaded just about every file mentioned in case needed, have verified all md5sums, yet regardless of the process and files used in the Odin process - I consistently get the same errors.

Before I began, I was on 4.4.2 and had root access. I installed Safestrap 3.75 then opened the applications, opened Safestrap and selected to install. I booted into Recovery mode to flash a rom, the rom failed even with md5sum matching. My only phone has been soft bricked since last night. I'm new to messing with this VZW Galaxy S4

EDIT: I should add that....the phone freezes at the black Samsung GALAXY S4 screen. I don't care what the phone is restored to to get it operational again. I'd like to put Empty Galaxy ROM F4.4.2 on it afterwards.

Assistance would be really appreciated. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EisBlade:
I'm back up and running. I used Kies to do an emergency recovery to NG6, downgraded the kernel to 5 to root, then upgraded back to 6. This, with SafeStrap 2.73 installed.

I'd like to get Empty Galaxy F4.4.2 ROM flashed on it. Is the phone ready to flash this ROM using SS or is there more needed to prepare?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ryant35:
After attempting to load the new Lollipop CM rom failed I tried to use Odin to restore my phone. I had the same failures as the post above over and over again. So I tried to use Kies to find out the IMEI number on the Asurion sticker did not work with my model number. I put the number in a website that checked it and it came up as a Note 3... WTF? So I tried a co-worker's IMEI # with the same model S4 and it also didn't work, his came up as an S5.

After Googling around for a good IMEI I can across a thread on this site where someone posted the IMEI for their SCH-I545 and it worked! But I couldn't download from Kies over my work network, I had to wait until I went home. But after 24 hours of no S4 I got it restored and back to normal! Now time to root it again.

Hello,

Followed the instructions for the full wipe and it FAIL'ed the first time I tried but worked on my next attempt.

I successfully restore to 4.3 and found that I get the Custom in the first screen when booting up.

Also I tired to update (OTA) my Verizon S4 i545, 4.3 I thought there was a 4.4 update n, shouldn't I be able to update?

I have a i545 Verizon S4.

Thank you for posting this restore.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Almaretto:
I have MK2 rooted phone that seems to have gotten corrupted. I would appreciate any help directing me on how to fix.

Couple weeks ago, my phone started randomly FC'ing stock and downloaded apps (eg Camera, Chrome, Verizon Msg's, etc). I was able with persistence (after 1+ FC's) to get use apps. What is strange is I did not really install anything new. I tried clearing cache through Android App Manager as well as restarting but no dice. Then, in preparation to possibly upgrade to stang5litre Edition 5.0 NON MDK v3, I installed Flashfire.

A few days ago, I set the phone to reboot, and the phone has since been unable to fully boot into Android OS.

It gets as far as the animated Verizon boot screen and just continues to get hotter.

I have tried pulling batter, microSD, and sim, but still will not boot up.

When trying to reach Stock Recovery, I see quick blue text flash thinking it might actually load but it does not.

Odin/Download mode and Recovery button combo's both result in Download Mode screen.

Do I want to flash "[odin] i337MK2-stockrecovery.tar.md5?" Would I do that in Bootloader slot?

Should I be flashing No-Wipe in PDA?

My goal is to boot up at least once to hopefully backup anything not already saved. Then, I will definitely do a full wipe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Almaretto:
Nevermind. The bootloader I got failed MD5 check. I went ahead and flashed no-wipe and phone booted up completely for first time in days. Thanks.

[General Topics] Genesis3:
I understand that TomTom is doing "activation keys".

This is potentially big trouble for me, because I have already had to wipe (hard reset) my machine several times!

If the key changes, then I can't re-enable the software... and I'm not about to spend $300 on a brick.

So - does anyone know if the old key is voided if you hard reset or load new firmware? If they're keying on IMEI then its ok, but if not, and I suspect not because this loads on PPCs that don't have phones in them......

Hi guys,

I am looking for a couple of testers to test a 4.1.2 98.30.1 ROM. Crackflashing experience is preferred as I am new to the XT907 scene and will rely on you guys to let me know the flashing instructions. I have modified a fair amount of stuff and I might have broke some of it, so some patience may be needed :P

I will lock this thread once I have enough testers.

PM me!

Thanks!

Hello.

I know this might have been asked a million times already but I'm gonna ask anyway..

Should I be afriad of KNOX?

I would like to root, customize stock rom, try custom roms, flash CWM recovery & kernels etc.

but I heard and read that flashing, modifies KNOX which voids the phone's warranty but I would like to have my phone's warranty.

So should I try anything?

Is there any way to revert KNOX back to default?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanley08:
KNOX doesn't carry a gun around, so no don't be afraid of it.

By rooting and doing all the things you mentioned above, you void the warranty of any phone dat has warranty on it. Samsung is only trying to protect themselves. So they don't fix more faults dat were caused by users... So, security for Samsung. And NO, it can't be reset. At least, not yet. However, there are ways to avoid tripping it. Do some research urself. I own Exynos Note 3. Cheers! :)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amgreenhawk:
Well, I have previously rooted my phone without tripping the knox. I didn't flash any custom recovery, firmware or kernels, though.

Now, unrelated to knox, my phone started to behave strangely (reboot loops on charging and erratic signal reception) - some device problem I guess - , and since I have not tripped the knox, I'm going to take the phone to the service centre for a replacement, hopefully free of charge, since it's been only 2 months since I bought it.

Using an International SM-N9005.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amgreenhawk:
I guess if some manufacturing defects cropped up, not related to the flashing of custom firmwares and so on, within the warranty period, and if the knox is tripped, it may be troublesome to replace/repair free of charge. That's the only downside I can see by tripping the knox within the warranty period.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Proxin:
Hi there,

I haven't been updated on rooting and all that jazz in a while, so please excuse my ignorance.

I have a Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999) on 4.1.2. It's stock rooted, but I don't have a custom Recovery or anything on it. I didn't (and don't) want to trip the root counter.

Is there a way to upgrade my phone to 4.3, have root working, and not trip the root counter? (Basically, what I currently have, except on 4.3)

Also, I Googled this new Knox feature I've seen people talk about, it seems like a lot of people here don't like it-- should I not want it on my phone too?

Happy holidays,

-Proxin
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] masondoctorjt:
The counter is easy enough to reset if still on 4.1.2, so your best bet is to install a custom recovery through odin, then flash docholiday's 4.3 stock deknoxed rom and the new modem, and the at&t kernel for working wifi. This way you can use triangle away to reset the flash counter. If you install 4.3 with 4.3 firmware, you will not be able to root without tripping the knox counter.

Hope this helps
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Proxin:
From what I understood back in the day when I got root, if you installed a custom recovery, you either triggered the counter or lost all your data/wiped the phone. Is that still the case?

Edit: Or was it un-tripping the counter that caused the data to wipe?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adreaver:
If you want 4.3 touchwiz, root, and a warranty, all at the same time, don't take the official update.

Instead, flash the 4.3 ROM zip, 4.3 modem, and a compatible kernel, using twrp or cwm recovery.

If you ever need to odin, do not use any version newer than MD5 or you are stuck with Knox and can never go back.

Sent from my T999L on PACman
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] masondoctorjt:
It still triggers the counter, but it can be reset. It did not wipe my data, but backup just in case. Resetting the counter did not wipe data either. But do not update to the official 4.3 if you want to root and still have a warranty.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Proxin:
Uh oh. I searched around for guides on updating like you guys said, and followed the guide here which promised root, 4.3, and no root counter... and now I can't use root, even though I installed a pre-rooted ROM.

I'm on 4.3 now, but don't have the ability to use root. I don't seem to have the Knox thing though.

I don't understand why I don't have root on a rooted ROM... what should I do?

Edit: This is the exact version I used: root66_TMO_T999UVUEMJC.tar.md5
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adreaver:
To fix root, enable developer options by pressing build number 7 times, then enable root access for apps and adb under dev options.

MJC is TW 4.3 which includes knox. AFAIK the root66 version has knox removed from the rom, but it is impossible to remove it from the bootloader.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Proxin:
I checked in developer options after pressing the build number 7 times, but I don't see anything about enabling root in there...

Do I have to re-root somehow? If so, will that throw off the counter?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] masondoctorjt:
That's why posts need read completely. It clearly says it will trip the Knox counter in 4.3 in the second paragraph of the first post under "4.3 notes" sorry that happened though.:banghead: Maybe someday someone will come up with a knox bypass in the bootloader.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Proxin:
I don't understand-- it seems like it says Knox is removed in order for root to stick:

I took it to mean root will flag the Knox counter so it has been removed from the images. :confused:

The wording is very ambiguous...

I'm pretty close to just nuking my install and starting over with CyanogenMod, not caring if I trip the counter or not. Is it possible to do so with the current setup, or will I end up with a brick/semibrick somehow? I figure I might as well, since rooting will likely trip the counter anyway.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pgarcia777:
Yes lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Proxin:
"It has been removed", it being Knox haha. That's how I understood it...

So yes, it's possible to get CyanogenMod working without a brick or semi-brick coming from this version I installed?
