Don't know about knox but the new bootloader prevent firmware reversal so you can not flash it using odin on pc. However if you want to downgrade u can use mobile odin to downgrade as it does not flash boot loader and thus can downgrade your note 10.1 to 4.1.2
But again the bootloader will not be downgraded nor till now any method has been discovered to downgrade it. I my self downgraded using mobile odin and mine is working fine.

You could get better help if you would have included your country and the firmware or build number that your current using.
With that said.... goto samfirmware and download the latest firmware for your device. Then use odin to flash the firmware, you should then have latest update and you can then root again.
There are other methodes but I think this is the least complicated.

I read that flashing the stock recovery will unroot it.

Flashing stock rom removes root .
But latest updates are more likely on XDA or sammobile before Kies or OTA .

I see your updated info except for country that you live in. You may have the newest for your country.
Yes, flashing a new firmware with PC Odin will remove root,.
I have not done it in a while but from what I remember all data remains in tack, just don't do a factory reset.
I do believe that there is a way to install a factory firmware in mobile Odin and keep root but I have never done that method.

Download this full stock firmware http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23134718111254196 then use Odin to flash, once done take the OTA and it should be fine. BTW, once upgrade to 4.3 your bootloader will be locked permanently meaning you can't flash custom firmware (rom/kernel/recovery), the only thing you can do is root with saferoot. can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758

If you still want to install custom firmware then DO NOT TAKE THE 4.3 OTA UPGRADE. If you decided to flash custom rom then after flash stock MF1, you need to unlock bootloader, root, flash recovery then flash custom rom (most custom rom already rooted so you probably don't need to root). Your phone status will be CUSTOM.

Haviing only used Odin when I initially rooted my phone a year ago, I need to ask some specifics on your instructions.
1. Do I boot the phone into Download mode when flashing?
2. Do I flash it by selecting the PDA box and selecting the file there?
3. This will make my phone basically "out of the box" and back to stock recovery, correct?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] n8010 - how to get back to stock after flashing the n8000 4.4.2 leak ?

I flashed my stock unrooted n8010 with the n8000 leak files using odin, I did not used the modem. All good and everything working.
Now I want to get back to stock n8010 jb. When in download mode the device apears like n8000 and odin is not able to flash the stock n8010 firmware.
I installed twrp and rooted, modified buildprop to apear like n8010 and tried to flash a custom rom for n8010, no luck, I get a message that the rom is for n8010 and to try a rom for my device.
How can I trick twrp or odin to make them flash n8010 fw/rom ?
I don't have a nandroid backup,
Edit : I managed to flash 4.0.4 with odin (N8010XXALGC_N8010OXXALG4_COA). After the flash it was stuck at samsung logo, I rebooted in recovery (power+volume up, release only power at samsung...) and wiped cache, wiped data and reset. Now the device booted with android 4.0.4 and I'm downloading a 568.29 MB update. I'll see what happends next...
The goal is to get back to stock jb, official (with triangle away I gues)
Edit: I updated to JB, but when in download mode the device is still N8000, so the problem is still not solved.

What version of Odin are you using ?Did you try to remove micro SD and full erase you tablets internal memory card? And why not 4.1.2 you install and not 4.0.4?
Because 4.1.2 gives me error, tried 3 versions of Odin: 3.04, 3.09, and 1.85. Tried 4.1.2 from 3 different sources to avoid a bad download. I can only flash 4.0.4, android shows me n8010 but in download mode is still n8000. I have no idea why, I just can't get rid of the n8000 in download mode.
Maybe I need to flash separate files, just like I did with 4.4.2, bootloader. Ap , csc but I don't know where to get those files for 4.1.2, I only have .tar.md5 files.
I attached a ss with odin eror when trying to flash stock 4.1.2

Did you have success installing the bootloader of the leak kitkat rom? Cause mine failed always, the AP file is the 1 working on me only. I have downloaded this TAR_MD5_PACKAGER here( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42393470&postcount=2 ) that I'm using to repack the stock and using 7zip to extract the content of the .tar.md5 files, maybe you can try repacking it seperately using this 2 program. And try to install it using Odin( I'm using Odin 1.85). By the way you can still install custom 4.1.2 rom's right, specifically for 8010 ? Lastly why do you wanna go back to stock 4.1.2 do you have problem with the leak rom?
P.S. Did you format your internal memory as I suggested? Cause once I install back to 4.1.2 have error before and have to install twice the rom( that is according to my experience which some think its not relate to installing error).maybe you can try to format all from the system to the internal memory via CWM recovery /mount section.Then try to install again and remove the SD card too.
I had no problems with the kit Kat files, flashed at the same time bl, csc and ap (no modem). I used odin 3.09. I managed to get back to 4.1.2 by flashing stock 4.0.4 then using OTA (im surprised it worked) . Someone else flashed directly 4.1.2 with mobile odin and worked, but with odin from pc you get an error.
The problem is that in download mode appears like n8000; hopefully, when official kk for n8010 is out we'll be able to fix that.

The problem is not solved lol. I just gave up for the moment. It's a miracle that I didn't bricked the damn thing today
I'll stay with a 4.1.2 stock n8010 fw that is using an n8000 4.4.2 bootloader. Sexy
Sent from my GT-N8010 using Tapatalk
Well from everything I've read it seems the problem is that when we flashed the kitkat leak, flashing the bootloader is what allowed us to flash n8000 over our n8010. This could be why when we flash back using odin we get the error cause the bootloader isn't being flashed too so it's trying to flash n8010 onto what it reads as n8000. It seems that there are only a few solutions. 1we need to find a n8010 bootloader file which so far seems to be impossible to find. 2you can flash an original n8010 cmw or twrp back up it will return you to 4.1.2 n8010 but the bootloader will still be n8000. If this option isn't available to you then you can try 3 download a custom rom I have the darkmans customers stock as a backup and it still works going back to simple stock n 8010 but again the bootloader stays as n8000...
Basically until we can get an n8010 bootloader we are stuck with it...
I even rooted the 4.4.2 leak and tried to flash a custom 4.4.2 made for n8010 and did not let me (based on the same leak i think, so the same bootloader) and failed, twrp sees the device as n8000 and did not allowed me to use n8010 rom.

I think I read somewhere that twrp can have issues with flashing 4.4.2 roms it needs to be the most up to date version of twrp... I tried cm 11 before and had to change to Cwm. But I went back to twrp and now it works
I used twrp 2.7, I think it's the latest.
Edit:
I reached a binary counter of 118
I used triangle away and reset it, however I'm still stuck with the n8000 4.4.2 bootloader.
N8000 bootloader
Same issue here, stuck on N8000 bootloader on my GT-N8010. After endless research I still can't find any solution but now the thing is, the official 4.4.2 KK is availble for the GT-8010, you guys think this is the solution, because I have read that though updating to the official Rom (via Odin Mobile) because Odin desktop fails, the device would still be stuck on the annoying N8000 bootloader?
Yes, even if you flash the n8010 4.4.2 with mobile Odin you will still have the damn n8000 bootloader.

Any way of downgrading the Bootloader, I've heard of a nandroid backup but I didn't do that before updating, is it possible to find one on the web?
You need a nandroid from a similar device, is possible but not sure if it will solve the problem.

I thought the official Rom would fix this but visibly no. So we don't have a choice of being stuck with the damn N8000 bootloader?

N8010 on N8000 bootloader
Hi guys, isn't there a solution about this yet? I have the exact same problem with the N8000 bootloader, my device is a N8010 16GB from mexico and flashed the leaked N8000 kk stock rom. I will still look for a solution. TKS to all of you.
Mean time solution
Hi Guys, I found a way to flash te new N8010XXUDNE4 on the stuck n8000 bootlader, the bootloader problem remains, but it is possible to flash the n8010 stock rom via mobile odin, I did it and it's fully working, But I flashed a N8010XXUDNE4 customized without sboot.bin so it can be flashed via PC odin too, I'm still not allowed to post links here cause I'm new in forums so if you want the link to that rom let me know how to provide it to you.
Possible solution?
Have a look at my thread, does that look a viable approach?

If your rooted than the update wont work. it will fail to install. you have to unroot and than take the ota. If not just wait for a custom rom based on the new update to show up
I know the OTA won't even download. Can you do it over Kies?

Im aware of how to do it if I had access to a PC, but I do not.
Will Kies successfully update/unroot? It sees the phone and wants to install NK4. I presume if NK4 were successful it would then attempt OA6?
For the record, Kies took stock NE5 root to NK4 and it was "official" so I got the OTA OA6. Did a nice clean install and kept all my settings so well I couldn't tell anything had happened until I got a notification and checked the software version.
Rooting without Windows is pretty hopeless for now.
