KNOX NOTE 3.tar is corrupted and get a message saying unexpected end of archive when opening in winrar. Maybe this was done on purpose as to erase the knox bit? But I'm still kind of nervous of getting a brick by flashing a corrupted file.

Is this only for international Note 3? I am on the US Sprint note 3.

Thanks it is working as I got it done :good:. Was on "alexega_4.4.2_Edition_XXUENJ1" and then updated to "N900_Lollipop_DrKetan_Custom_ROM_L15". After using Lollipop for 2-3 days just restored through nandroid backup (TWRP) and was with Lollipop BL. First pic is after the Knox reset and second is once I flashed original "N900XXUENH1_N900OJVENG2_N900XXUENG1_HOME" ROM from Samsung :

It works fine. Knox counter is reset to 0
I am currently using stock version of kitkat and had a Knox counter as 1.
My phone was not rooted when I tried these steps.
First flash step would stop half way through ,however ignore and go ahead with Step 2 and it works like charm. Now my knox counter is set to 0.

Do they all get flashed as bootloaders or what?

Is this for the N9005?

[Q] How to check the flash counter?

Well, I read something about a flash counter, and i searched around a bit and found this
It's a counter that tells how much times you've flashed custom stuff. If you have a counter different from zero it means that your warranty is voided. Anyway, you can get a usb jig from ebay to reset the counter to zero in case you need to get it to zero. So you shouldn't worry too much about it.

It counts the number if times you flash non-official firmware or kernel etc.
It increases only when you flash a non-official firmware or kernel etc.

Click to collapse
And about how to check?
Just go to download mode.
(VOLUME-DOWN + HOME + POWER while the phone is off)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But I didnt see anything in the download mode which would tell me the flash counter?
Anyone tried to check on our phone or anyone knows how to find it?
There is no flash counter for sgsl.. the sgs2 and the note has it..

Ohk Thanks.
Well, a few days ago sgs2 users with no usb jig to reset the counter (like me ) rejoiced because chainfire made an app that removes the triangle (result of flashing un official kernel) and sets the counter back to zero (but requires and upgrade to ics first). But once you removed the flash counter, when upgrading to another ROM through mobile odin or CWM, the flash counter won't increase. It only increases if you flash through odin (PC version)

Well, that's really good that there is a way to reset the counter.
I was getting a bit edgy about it, since if there would be such a counter, the service centre would get to know about the flashes and modding and warranty would get void. But since there is no counter in our phone, no worries for now.

This will not work on n9005 note 3 firmware 4.4.2.I already tried.In normal mode doesn't trip knox but don't work give error and ask you to put the phone in download mode but that trip knox.Sony Xperia doesn't have knox or bootloaders and other thing like note 3 that's why this work for it.
I think it works without tripping knox for CANADIAN MJ4 users.
will this work on 4.3 without tripping knox? will this unroot 4.4.2?

Hi there,
Did use it from the first moment on, without tripping Knox.
I am on 4.3, XXUBMJ3 N9005 type GN3.
Have rooted and unrooted several times without any problems.
I am still waiting to upgrade to 4.4.x, since I don't want the bootloader issues and am very happy with my rooted 4.3.
Regards,
Did any one try it on the Indian Note 3 ( SM N - 900) 4.4.2 rom. Does it trip the knox warranty?

Download mode never trips knox, I think the user was referring to using the above root method which will flash something which requires the phone to be in download mode.

If you try with kingo will fail in normal mode and then it ask you to try in download mode and there say this may void your waranty.

I just checked and Kingo gave warning that it will trip knox and void warranty. Kingo tried to root by first flashing custom recovery so I decided not to go ahead. Will wait for someone to develop rooting Indian SM N900 running 4.4.2 without warranty void

I9505 - Rooted without knox flag on 4.4.2

Morning all, there were about 4 open threads where I could have added this but I thought of the significance it deserved a new thread.
I will reference all the threads I have used to obtain the info from at the end for reference.
So, I was running a pre rooted stock 4.2.2 MH1 without any knox.
Decided to go to 4.4.2 and followed the knox free method for nc5 with mobile odin. It flashed the rom but wouldn't do the bootloader via normal odin, complained that it didnt recognise the device.
So though what the heck, go staight to the latest pre rooted c9 firmware and had a thought. I was still rooted at this point and the phone ran with 4.4.2 nc5 with the mh1 boot loader. I stripped the boot loader out of the downloaded prerooted nc9 rom, flashed that with normal odin, then flashed the whole rom again with bootloader over the top.
I now have official status. No knox flags and root.

Perhaps there is something of significance here for others or maybe someone can point out what I've missed or done wrong.

I am sure that you are very happy for your success. I am pretty sure that you will have many friends soon. I am almost certain that your phone's IMEI number will be soon used for unlocking some stolen phone somewhere by IMEI cloning.
What is the base of my feeling?
Well, you have provided both, your own mobile number and IMEI number on the screenshots.
Are you sure that you know what are you doing?
The number is wrong

Use that one without home in label. And you don't need pit file, cause it is compiled inside csc file.

I have downloaded the Vodafone firmware for s7 edge. The problem is that it has MultiLanguage CSC. I need italian setup but at the start it is in deutsch Language and so I can not use Volte with Vodafone Italy.
Dumb question probably, but is all this legit? Root and everything? I hear ROM development isn't as great on the Exynos chips, but coming from having an only rooted ATT S4, the international S7 would be real nice.

I installed earlier and was able to get recovery and root, but not to long ago I was debloating and I guess deleted some knox files and got stuck on a boot loop :/, now I have to flash all the way back to PI3 and update one by one to QB1, which i'm hoping works or else i'm gonna be out of a phone until a flashable stock rom releases.
I updated and have root and recovery.
Does anyone have the odin stock firmware yet? I also tried to download via Sam Firm app and get the same error. I also talked to Sprint and they basically wont give me the ota as of now.
Why it doesn't show at websites such as live.samsung-updates.com, then?

Nervermind, I just got it.
Just a FYI, you guys won't be able to get it through SamFirm, neither download to flash it.
The Nougat isn't available in any online service that I could find. It's OTA, only. I had to unroot my G925P in order to get the OTA update.

Can you get into twrp? If I remember correctly you should be able to wipe dalvik and cache and get out of that bootloop.
