I rooted once upon a time using Kingo Root. Worked fine, love being rooted, been doing it for years. But as everyone knows, the GPS signal is really crap on these phones. Mine keeps cutting out randomly.
Lo and behold! KitKat is now available! And among the changes AT&T is bragging about is improved GPS performance. As much as I enjoy being rooted, I need a working GPS a lot more. So I tried installing the OTA update... but it failed. I assume because the device status is listed as "Custom".
So I used Triangle Away, did a full unroot using SuperSU, rebooted... and it still says "Custom". There didn't used to be an open padlock during boot while I was rooted, but now there is, along with the word "Custom". Check the Odin mode, and sure enough it says the system status is "Custom". However Knox flag is still 0x0, and it states I'm running the Samsung Official binary. I've never flashed a ROM on this phone, all I did was root it.
Re-rooted, installed Triangle Away again. It states my system status is "Official" and the flash counter is at 0. However whenever I check the Device status in settings, it always says "Custom". There doesn't appear to be any way to get it back to "Official". Sometimes I can get it to say "Official" for a single boot, but then it always reverts back to "Custom" within a couple minutes whether the phone is rooted or not.
What am I doing wrong?
