Is my warranty void now

Hello everyone,
I have not rooted my s4 fone yet, I was flashing stock rom using odin.
I dont know what was going in my mind I selected "phone" instead of "PDA".
When fone was not booting up, I put the fone again in download mode. In download mode I saw it is showing status "custom".
I flashed the rom again, this time correctly, now it is showin status official.
Is my wareant is void now?

No
both time u flashed stock ROM so not void ur warranty
If u unlock bootloader and flash custom rom/kernel ur warranty will void
:good:

The fact it now states official, and that the binary counter hasn't been tripped due to all being stocks means your warranty is still safe. Just don't root the phone if you wish tokeep your warranty intact. Unless yyou plan to reflash a stock ROM after it?

Thanks for clearing my doubts guys..

[Q] Re-Flashing stock rom on rooted device

I have a rooted N900 running stock rom, I want to reflash the stock rom, the question is; do I have to unroot first? Or I can flash it right without unrooting
I'm not concerned about warranty and reseting flash binary, I just want to get a clean stock rom again

[Q] seandriod enforcing

hello..
i got note 3 sm n9005 (uk model),i tried to root my phone odin says pass,but it wont go to recovery mode it restarts and stuck on screen saying recovery is not seandroid enforcing" in red and another in yellow saying" set warranty bit.it wont let me root my phone,,,pls help me with this
thanks

That means you have succesfully put a custom recovery on your phone via odin. Stock wont show anything, but anything other than stock, that will show. I can only assume your on JB(4.3) still and have flashed a recovery for KK(4.4)
Im from the uk too, using chenglus 11/21 recovery on my jb rom.

Make sure you are using the right cf auto root file. One is for 4.4 and the other is for 4.3.
edit: didn't read it completely, what did you use to root your phone?

I've never used cf auto root. To root my first rom ( stock rom) i just flashed a custom recovery, and then flashed a superuser zip inside cwm

Did that worked? As far as I know to flash a custom recovery you have to be rooted first.

Yes works fine. Have done it a few times on the n9005, and many times on other devices. You don't even need a rom to flash a custom recovery, or stock recovery for that matter.

When I first got mine it will not flash cwm without rooting it first but mine was N900W8 so might be different situation.

I recommend you better TWRP or Philz Recovery. Flashing custom recoveries don't wipe your device :highfive:

No. Flashing recoveries will not wipe your device., but it will trip knox to 0x1. This will void your warranty.
I also recommend TWRP. I couldn't flash CWM recovery. I did, but it just booted into the stock recovery instead of CWM. So I flashed TWRP.

Now that i rooted my phone, sometimes after im dome using it, when i hit the power button to off the sceeen, the phone randomly reboots. It Just straight away goes to the samsung spinning logo and then goes to the homescreen. But during the reboot it doesnt play the song and it doesnt go to the screen that says samsung galaxy s4 gt i9505. It's like its a quick reboot idk. This has happened three times now. Is there a way to fix this?

Flash the latest firmware for your device for solve your problems.

Where do i get the latest firmware from? And i dont know which is the latest one. Also will this remove root?

And has flashing the latest firmware removed this problem for other people?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app

Is this happening because of something called knox? Also can you explain what will happen after i flash the latest firmware? Will i lose root?

Amazing!
Hi, I have the same problem.
I do a wipe reset and a root: root is not working.
I removing root and make some root tentatives:
In Windows (Odin): not working
In Linux (motoshopper): not working
I have the XXUGNG8 and I don't understand why since this update, I can't root again!
Do you have an idea please?

If your talking about the random reboots, it happened to me because i let supersu app disable knox. After that the random reboots started. I fixed that by unfreezing the apps through titanium backup. For me 2 apps called knox notification manager and migration agent were frozen so i unfroze them through titanium backup. Then the random reboots stopped

After that you have to remove all the knox files in your phone. Check here:

However, DO NOT delete a file called libknox_encryption.so otherwise your phone will not boot up.
