rooted phone, and back to original software

So i rooted phone, and now i back it to original software + updated to newest 6.01 android. If i take it to warranty, can they see that phone had root back in time?
What kind of phone? There are ways to make them think you never rooted the phone depending on what you're using.
I can't help you with this OP, but i am looking for this aswell on my HTC one M9. I need to flash RUU, but honestly i just have alot of trouble doing it and i failed so far.

If you find anyone capable of doing so, please PM me. 🤝

Sorry man but nothing I know off can reset a tripped KNOX counter on the S6.
Its now back to originally posted kox 2.6 for android 6.0.1, is it maybe possible to show up that was root on phone like 3 days ago?

Well, he can go back to stock, but the KNOX can't be reset. In practice it will be like a a full stock recovery, except that your warranty remains void and you can't use Samsung Pay (who does that anyway?).

OP, on the back of your phone, there should be some text saying SM-G920 and a letter. What letter is that? What country and carrier did you buy your phone with?

I'll find you a download and instructions.

What trouble do you have? I previously had an HTC One M8 and have done it several times.

I found your firmware, you have two options to download it:

Option 1: Download from SamMobile (or similar)
This option is slow, it requires you to register, but you don't have to use a tool to download it. Just register at this site, and download the file:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/downl...3DPBF_CRO/

Option 2: Using the SamFirm tool
This tool downloads directly from Samsung's servers. It gets you very fast speeds, I've used it a lot. You can download it from here (scroll to the bottom of the post, and download the latest attachment):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-t...e-t2988647

Extract and open the program. Check the auto tick-box under Firmware Info. Fill in model "SM-G920F" and Region "CRO". Click check for update. It should find a firmware and fill in info under the Download-section. Tick "Check CRC-32" if you want your computer to verify the download and "Decrypt automatically". It should look like this:

Then press Download.

Installing the firmware
In either case you'll end up with a zip-file. Extract that, and you'll get a .tar.md5-file. Follow the instructions in this thread under "How do I install these?". Skip the second step, as we've already done that.


Let me know if you run into problems. 🙂

Really nice explanation, but am i able to bring it to android 5.1 i think or 5.1.1 cause im using it for E-whore mostly, and KIK is bugged on 6.0.1 version sadly :/

In that case you can't download with the SamFirm tool, as Samsung doesn't host old firmwares. But you can download from sammobile:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/downl...3QOIT_CRO/

It's the most recent 5.1.1 firmware for G920F with your region.
