Hello friends I am on the latest Russian 4.3 firmware and am flashing the PIT and the old bootloader and then a stock 4.2.2 indian Firmware to check if the warranty bit can be reinstated !!!!!!!! Because here in India the service centers dont know or dont bother to check the hidden counter.......
I know I am taking a risk but opening this thread so that I can post my observations and maybe we can work something out.....fingers crossed!!!!!
UPDATE 1 : Was Unable to flash the MG1 bootloader getting failed on odin and unsupported !!!!!
UPDATE 2 : Flashed UBUBMH1 4.2.2 successfully no IMEI loss all working fine so yes we can downgrade to 4.2.2
The bootloader though remains unchanged and shows device status as custom!!!!!
UPDATE 3 : Flashed the leaked 4.3 and device status says official binary also official only warranty bit says 1
UPDATE 4 : Device is able to check for OTA updates and not given an error saying your device has been modified
**********************************************************************************
STEPS TO REVERT I9500 TO 4.2.2 WITH OFFICIAL STATUS
**********************************************************************************
1) Download South African FW 4.2.2 http://samsung-updates.com/details/14135/Galaxy_S_4_Exynos_Octa/GT-I9500/XFE/I9500XXUBMH1.html
2) Go to recovery wipe data factory reset and wipe cache and then flash the firmware that you downloaded above
NOTE : If you are on the russian 4.3 and having issues flashing this FW then first flash the leaked 4.3 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488155
3) After flashing leaked 4.3 go to settings and check device status it should say official
4)now go to download mode and flash the 4.2.2 rom you downloaded
5) NOTE : IF YOU ARE STILL HAVING TROUBLE GOING BACK TO 4.2.2 YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE
ATTACHED PIT FILE AND FLASH IT ALONG WITH THE 4.2.2 ROM
IN ODIN SELECT THE PIT FILE IN PIT SECTION AND SELECT THE FW IN PDA SECTION
AS A LAST RESORT IF NOTHING WORKS THEN FOLLOW THE STEPS FROM STEP 1 AGAIN USING ODIN
1.85 attached below!!!!!!
PLEASE EXTRACT THE ODIN AND PIT FILES BEFORE USING.
Trying other things now!!!!!!!
I will be posting detailed steps with links soon!!!!!!!
Hey,
When I was in 4.2.2, root and kernels and Cwm were already flashed so my binary and system were custom. But when I flashed 4.3 leak all become official and warranty bit: 0, I was happy that I kept my warranty.
But now, my warranty bit is 1 because I flashed cf root. And downgrading to 4.2.2 and flashing again 4.3 didn't change anything. I really want to know how to remove that knox bootloader.

Well as the title states right now there is no way to do that its been three hrs i have tried all sorts of crazy things to go back to the old bootloader but it just refuses to flash so we will have to wait.....I created this thread so that at least we can have the binary and status official because most of the places that will be ok like in india if i go to the svc center and it says official all will be ok!!!!
hey @hypergamer1231,
what is the procedure to revert back to 4.2.2, am currently CF-Rooted on 4.3?
can you please tell me what all things are required ?(will be thankful if you provide the links)
and after that again upgrading to 4.3 will i be able to use Knox container app???
i don't have any problem with bit 1, just want to use container app !
Thanks in advance

Thks 4 this tutorial, Perfect in My S4 TTT Region.
Congrats Bro
Just got the official 4.3 OTA update (INS). Not going to update coz of warranty bit. It should be 0 when I update, but as soon as I root it would become 1. Will be waiting for AOSP or MIUI for i9500, say a month or so. Then will use it and update to 4.3 next yr (or maybe 4.4 then?) When warranty anyway would expire.
Edit - this is similar to Knox on i9505, hence even downgrading your official software doesn't remove the boot loader, and in fact triggers it.

i am not sure but thats a very good idea i would have tried that but i am already on the new bootloader if you can try that would be great make sure you have a nandroid backup and efs backup!!!!!! Do it at your own risk at the most u will have basic issues try and revert if poss
thank you,it works like a charme even if a had the russian 4.3, no need to go back to the indian version ,just used odin 1.85 with the.PIT and the south african 4.2.2
My experience:
My GT-I9505 was a Hongkong version with its stock firmware version I9505ZHUAME3, then OTA to ZHUDMI1.
After flashed the CWM recovery, the KNOX warranty set to 0x1. As you know, ZHUDMI1 cannot be fully rooted now.
Then I tried to flash the phone by ODIN with I9505ZHUBMF4 (includes PIT, PHONE, MODEM, CSC). The phone showed "OFFICIAL" and can OTA again, but I disabled auto upgrade.
And rooted the phone with CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505. Now its status is "CUSTOM". Anyway, maybe I lost the warranty, but I can use this phone with fully rooted now.
I have nothing useful to add except that I find it funny that my country's firmware is allowing for downgrades :lol:. Congrats on finding the exploit BTW .

I learnt from the S2 days never, ever flash the latest leaks until a work around has been found. So yeah I have not gone the 4.3 route just yet but its nice to know that the firmware I already have could downgrade me should the need arise .
My experience:
So I have a I9500, and its on the russian 4.3, and I root it, it says both binary and status official except the Warranty Bit is 1, and Knox won't work on my phone, It goes " Your device is not authorised to enter knox mode". It shows the same thing after I unroot it ( Flash the 4.3 rom again). Just wonder is there any way that I can use Knox again??

Install the stock ROM via odin. It's solve the problem, try another ROM from another country.

Hi All,
Hoping for some advice
Ages ago I installed some custom roms on my UK N8010 - I now want to pass the tablet onto a non technical family member and want OTA updates to work
I did a restore before and in download mode it showed Binary as official and system status as official but OTA was not working
I've used Odin to flash the BTU N8010XXUCMG1 stock rom on there from samsung-updates.com
All seemed fine, though now there is no OTA update to test.. when I hold Power+Volume to get into download mode it is still showing "Odin Mode" at the top
Can anyone advise how I can be sure that OTA will work?
Thanks in advance!!
connect the note to Kies on pc , and check on Kies for updates, if it says u r modified then OTA will not work, if it says u r on latest firmware , then u r good (I think )
Thanks - It did that before but still failed when upgrading on the device itself
I did some more digging and managed to find an older firmware on sammobile.com, flashed that and it's updating ok it seems
Well gentlemen since there is much discussion in this and several forums of the S4 GT-i9500 on the possibility of returning from Lollipop 5.0.1 to Kit Kat 4.4.2 after to have installed the version of 4 archives + the PIT or the version of SamMobile + PIT and that all we thought reason why it seems that it can be but that nobody has verified is that I occurred to the task of verifying if it is possible to return from Lollipop to 5.0.1 Kit kat 4.4.2 and that the S4 is working without problems and the result cannot be betteIF IT CAN AND IT WORKS EVERYTHING.-.-
Tools:
Firmware: I9500XXUGNJ1_SER
PIT: PIT Adonis
J1 Modem: Modem J1
Process :
The first thing is being in Lollipop install a custom as Recovery like TWRP or Phiilz if not installed there, immediately afterwards to enter recovery and to do all the wipes and all the formats, already we remained in this point without UNDER.
Now we reinitiated in Download Mode while in the PC we run Odín with privileges of Administrator (we do as always it) and loaded the PIT in the corresponding button and firmware downloaded of Kit Kat 4.4.2 , we connected the S4 and when it detects it to Odín we give START and we hoped to that it finishes.
When it initiates we will not see that there is no network, we have in the bar of tasks the circle with the crossed line, we will have the IMEI either or NULL, NOT TO BE HOPELESS.-
Now we put again the S4 in Download Mode while in the PC we run Odín again (as Administrator not to forget) and load modem.bin file that we will have extracted of the downloaded one and removing from the folder J1 Modem, immediately afterwards the install it and to the minute the S4 will begin and now already it will have signal of network and everything working.
NOTE: So that it is clear and they are not mistaken, the install Modem not in the same process with firmware + the PIT, because it is not going it to take, in fact firmware has the modem including but in the installtion for some reason it does not install it, for that reason soon it is necessary to only make a installation with the modem and it is put in button CP (Phone).-

Hi there,
This is such a helpful topic but cannot understand the explanation (especially the second, modem part). Please put a video or screenshot.
I think it is simple..
1. Flash PIT and ROM together ( PIT for only people have 11GB )
2. After Installtion of ROM flash modem provided here
Is Knox Warranty Void untouched after this procedure?
I want to return Android 4.4.2 from Android 5.0.1 officialy updated over the air but i don't know what effect would this operation (like described herein) have on KNOX Counter. Can You check how Knox Warranty Void changes when system is downgraded by this method?

And if i will not use custom recovery, if i will use only stock recovery to wipe data and only Odin for downgrading? What if i will use any stock firmware with this Adonis.pit file and modem.bin rendered herein?
I OTA to 5.0.1 recently and totally hate it. Have been googleing if I can downgrade to 4.3 but no luck. Am hopeing that someone here can help. I've got the stock firmware and odin what else do I need? Thanks in advance.
@lobomarino
If this what you choose to call "tutorial" is the result of running a text through Google translate something must have failed in the process.
The purpose of a tutorial is usually to clear up and enlighten. Throwing out random grammar of English words is not helpful in that direction.
You don't have to perform Oxford English, but do give it second try and perhaps ask a friend speaking regular English to proof read.

It will: Trip Knox, void your Warranty.
It will not: damage your battery, brick your device
Do not wipe data using Odin, known to cause problems, instead do a Factory reset/Wipe cache through recovery before/after flashing the new firmware.
I suggest, do an official OTA update or through Kies, if the new update is already available. If not then it's better you wait for the new update to be available for your device

I dont know how but the PIT file used by Samsung Service center, does not trip KNOX. The one found on the page you mentioned and on Sammobile although say official but they do trip KNOX. thereby voids your warranty.

Even if we have the ota file, it can be flashed via AP section of Odin and would it void warranty ?

Most likely no because it's an update. But maybe it will be released as separate system installation with ODIN images. And flashing CUSTOM recovery (boot image too) will trip knox, flashing stock should be fine

I know that flashing custom recovery trips knox but will the beta image void the warranty ? I have flashed stock images using odin many times and never tripped knox but idk about beta images.
This ROM is only for India A750F and not for European A750FN so far.
I think as long as there is no European A750FN Pie version via Beta Programm, there won't be any flashable Roms as well !!!
If you have the pie update let us know if there is any improvement in the camera, cause right now it's a real let down. (Capture of any type of foliage turn into a color blob)

I asked samsung care and they said it would. They said even flashing stock firmwares using sammobile or etc, will void the warranty, i.e. any kind of flashing will. I think its a little odd that It would void it, but if they said then its possible. And all this is for India, I don't know about any other countries' policies.
Yes they say it but as long as your knox is not tripped (which wont trip if you flash stock firmwares) you will get the warranty as long as you didnt mess upduring flashing.

Correct , only if Knox is tripped Samsung can and actually will refuse to repair phones with warranty taking over costs.
In EU this is kind of behavior is not supported by the jurisdiction, but Samsung charges you for everything that is normally covered up by warranty anyway, if you have Knox tripped, means custom bootloader installed once.
