Dude...your knox warranty is ok.It should be 0x1 if is voided.
Do not root at this time.it will void your warranty.Wait for some knox friendly root method.Anyway...my i9505 had knox status 0x1 and i had it replaced in warranty (by Orange Romania) for a faulty display.

well i see that i am not voided knox cause i get before upgraded device to official state again. then its no problem.
the thing is i only wanted warn the rest before they upgrade to 4.3
cause i think when you upgrade with a device wich have custom state you will maybe receive a knox waranty void 0×1 after the upgrade.
cheers and have a nice christmass

would this France 4.3 firmware work here in uk
you guys should not install the official 4.3 update if you care about root and custom ROMS in future, wait for custom ROMS instead without the crap KNOX

Its true what hes says ---> if you care Root dont Flash 4.3 Firmware!!!
I tested it.
If you root with 4.3 you got mass "Knox alert messages" in android !!!!! and you void Knox warranty to 0x1 in bootloader!!!!
The other thing you can not use anymore Heimdall or Odin(dont support 4.3 firmwares!!!!!) to flash anything on your phone also kies 2.6 you can not use anymore ..............have to update to 3.2 .... <--- everything tested!!
After i recognized theres nothing to do on this "super 4.3 firmware" i tried in terminal with abd shell dd commands to downgrade the Bootloader to go back 4.2.2 and what is the result ^^ -->
Phone is now hardbricked got only blackscreen nothing boots up !!! and i am using now a Nokia 3710 Fold till 30.12.2013 then i get rechanged my I9506 by a new one from servicecenter....
Again if you need root and dont want "knox warranty void" in your Bootloader STAY ON 4.2.2 !!!
Sorry for Caps

Sure i can help you but you want really this 4.3 with "knox warranty void" in Bootloader ??
With odin and heimdall you cant flash 4.3 ... not supported!!
So if you dont care i can advice you how you update to 4.3 just do a post with text in it "yes help me please"
And dont blame if you want go back to 4.2.2 after updated to 4.3 .... cause its not possible by normal methods ... only with JTAG i think you can downgrade to 4.2.2 !!!

hello, have you found a solution to this? if you have please provide it, i got the same atm. Thanks
While on 4.2.2, try to flash in Odin only following 3 parts: boot (don't mess with aboot!!), cache, system. Don't flash any other parts.
There parts are enough to fully upgrade to android 4.3.
It's better to avoid flashing modem from 4.3 because it has KNOX enabled bootloader image inside and may update it at any time by itself.
Probably, you won't be able to boot android with stock boot.img because of LKM authentication, but you may try. It won't brick your device. If you won't flash any other (except these 3) parts, then you always can boot into download mode and flash 4.2.2 parts ad still don't have any KNOX mentions in download mode.
Most likely, you will need custom kernel (boot.img) in order to continue to use old bootloader with android 4.3.

Since i have no clue about what you mean by only flash three parts, i got one file and one file only, its a .md5. ho do i just flash some parts of it if even possible? and im not even sure i should flash that file since it's 4.3.
i would like to be pointed in the direction of a step to step help thingy, like i require this, and when i got it, do this. Thanks
I flashed 4.3 and rooted to get my secmms out then flashed 4.3 again via Odin and no problems. Well my knox warranty is void but I don't give a damn. Des will find something for that.

Hi Guys!
(I don't care whole knox thing, even warranty)
Can i still get ota updates if i got knox warranty void 0x1(phone into *samsung*)?
Of course i flashed stock firmware back with odin.
In downloading mode i get
Current Status: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Knox warranty void: 1 (0*0301)
Knox doesnt affect ota updates. Only root disables ota.
Is it possible to set the code back? Im on 5.1.1

What do you mean by absolutely not? I thought Triangle Away resets the KNOX tripping. And I was reading it still worked on S6... Are you saying it's impossible to "un-trip" KNOX now?

Triangle away doenst reset the Knox counter, it resets the flash counter. This is very different.
There is no tool which can reset the Knox counter.

So the two years that I've had my S5 rooted, my warranty was voided and irreversible? Huh. I've never needed any assistance from Sprint and I'm hoping I won't now. Makes me feel better to know that I'm in no different a position than I have been. I just have to hope my phone works perfectly.
Would that affect my ability to sell my S5 back to Sprint? Sorry if I'm not on this thread's topic exactly... Should I end my line of questioning in this thread?
Just keep flashing the latest updates on your own by getting stock firmware and using Odin, that's what I would do if I ever went back to a non-rooted device - might go back just to try Samsung Pay.
Hello ,
I have previously successfully rooted my galaxy S6 using PingPong without tripping the KNOX Counter . Unfortunately now i have some issues with the phone's connector and i'm planning to send it to warranty . I have 2 questions here :
1- KNOX flag is still on 0 but the phone is rooted , will it be accepted on warranty in this state ?
2- If I unroot my phone using the SU app "Delete Root" functionnality would that increase my KNOX Counter ?
Thanks for your help
Does anyone knows at least the answer for the 2nd question ?

I don't have the answers for your questions, but if you flash a stock firmware through Odin, or if you update the phone using Smart Switch (Kies for newer models) you'll lose root, and Knox will not be tripped.

I thought about that too but the problem here is that the connector is not working anymore ( that's the reason i'm sending it back to warranty ) unless there's a way to do a flash without an USB cable ?

1. Yes they will accept it for warranty
2. No this will not increase your KNOX counter.
So you can send it to warranty.

I am new to this custom ROM kind of things.
I am user of Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900 Exynos Processor. bought from India.
What i want to do is changing my ROM with some latest ROM. like either NOTE 4 or NOTE 5 ROM.
Is it possible?
I have heard that by doing this process Knox Flag may be tripped. and Tripped KNOX flag means warranty is void. SO can it be untripped ever ?
Also before starting any kind of this process, samsung executive suggested me to take a full recovery of existing OS. SO how i can do that ?
Anyone can guide me step by step process to achive this? and pls explain me in brief so i can get some clear vision.
Thanks a lot in advance.
There are some note 4 and note 5 port's available for the n900. Flashing any rom or rooting will trip Knox and destroy ur warranty. Do not listen to samsung support. They do not support customization of your software aND usually provide bad advice. If you want to flash the custom rom,you need a custom recovery and root. Good luck.
Thanks. Is there any good Custom Rom along with steps of Custom Recovery,root and flashing it?

First of all, this is a wrong section mate, you can ask questions in Q&A section(for Exynos too)
About your questions:
Yes, there are ROMs which will make your note 3 similar to Note4/5 in terms of functionality.Aurora Team S6/Note5 Full Port For Note 3
Yes, this process will trip your knox counter, but you can reset it (only for Exynos as of now). step by step guide
(i have tried it, also claimed warranty after resetting knox )
To take full recovery(a full backup, not recovery) you first have to ROOT(Guide) your phone and install custom recovery (Guide)(till this step your OS is as it was) and then take a full-OS-backup through recovery.
It's better to go through the theories in the forums, but if you want a to-the-point guide, message me

I did CF-AutoRoot first.
Then phone started but OS was not working properly and KNOX flag was tripped. So i just untripped that flag. using the link you provided.
The KNOX warranty is again back to 0. so it means that flag is changed successfully.
But OS is not starting.
Currently my phone is on download mode. It is showing
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
KNOX Warranty VOID: 0
AP SWRV: A0
HW REV: 11
DDR SIZE: 3G(0x2020)
BUILD VERSION: HA3GZS_TEST
BINARY SBOOT VERSION: VERSION_+A4
DEVICE MODEL NAME: SM-N900
EMIC PNM:032GE4
Will installating a Stock ROM resolve my issue?
Yes installing stock would reset every thing. ..phone will work
My friend you should make factory wipe after flashing root file for the first time and do not untrip the knox counter.
Im india the service centre people don't see your knox warranty unless you tell them that you tampered the device.
I got my full body replaced even when my knox was 0×1

Where to download Android 5.1.1 for SM-N900
Hello, I'd like a link to the stock ROM for Android 5.1.1 for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900. Thanks.
Stock firmware on sammobile updato and other sites .
Last stock for N900 is 5.0 no further updates.
Hello guys. Just a short but very important question. I'll root my S7 Edge incl. TWRP. I've made some experience in past with rooting, customizing and so on... In almost every case I noticed performance issues. In past I tried do flash the stock firmwares to get it to the original back again, but I didn't get any offcial updates about OTA. Its my first Samsung smartphone and I read there is a problem with Knox (security system for customization).
So: If I root and so on, is there any REAL solution to get it in the current untouched original state back incl. the untouched Knox status? (can I completely backup the current firmware and data so that have in case of issue just to flash it back?)
Hope you understand my thoughts

thank you. so it could be possible in future to set an almost changed knox value to 0x0? or just to prevent any change of the knox?
just another thought about bypassing knox... if it would be possible wouldn't it be a >big< security problem for samsung payment? not just for the costumer but for the seller?
what is actually the best method of rooting? is threre any difference? i found the CF auto root and the TWRP method (rooting after flashing the recovery). Just the difference between recovery or not?

Hi
Bypass knox bit setting to one , has been possible in older models and there been some progress and success in the S7 family but resetting it back to 0 never been possible
The e fuse 0 x 1 is not a security issue at all is just a way for Samsung to know you been messing with the device , you can reflash a stock firmware (odin) , have the knox bit set and be 1000% safe and knox security cover...

yea for sure. but when you could costumize the software and the knox wouldn't change, samsung payment would be fully functional, you know? or doesn't it matter for samsung payment, if you change the knox value or not?

Samsung payment or knox does not care about the e fuse ( 0x 1 ) state , it cares about the integrity of the firmware installed , for example if stock firmware is flashed knox will see the system as original regardless of the e fuse state

That goes against everything I've seen about Samsung Pay (or even Knox). Once you've tripped it (0x1) there's no way to get it back. Samsung Pay will not work even if you re-flash stock (unrooted) rom.
