Hi, I unrooted my galaxy s5 but my phone status still says custom, so I am unable to update firmware, is there any way of removing the custom back to official?

Boot into the bootloader and check if the Knox counter has been tripped.

The answer is yes.... but you have to be rooted.

Install the correct .kies file with ODIN or Heimdall and you'll be 100% stock

It would appear to be debatable.

Should be able to find your stock firmware here

If the OP is looking to get warranty work or sell the device....that's where I'm coming from. It is usually the reason someone would un-root and change splash.

I get the feeling the OP is gone anyway.

T-Mobile branded if you use GSM carrier. Bootloader not locked.

Good, I couldn't find anything on MetroPCS. So It's T-Mobile?

I'm confused, apparently we have multiple OP's and devices in play.

I was talking the S5 (Boost) but @Jfalls63 recommended the T-Mo cuz it didn't have a locked bootloader, whereas Boost Mobile's was locked down (no TWRP)

Just thinking that if you bought one out right and not through contract, the T-Mobile version unlocked would be my choice.
