When I try to check for updates it tells me that my device has been updated in an unauthorized way. Is there a way to fix this aside from unrooting my device and reflashing stock?
would rootcloak fix this....once we get xposed.

No, when you root your phone the knox counter go to 0x0 to 0x1 and that is the issue, no ota updates with konox 0x1 only via odin.

Knox stays untripped with PingPong-root. But the OTA update thing finds that the phone has been tampered with so you can't get any OTAs through your phone. I guess we'll have to update with Smart Switch and re-root afterwards?

I would imagine someone will upload a file to flash through Odin to update. That will surely trip Knox though. If we're lucky we can do what you said (If that exploit isn't patched in 5.1).
I'm guessing as this is only my third smartphone, and the first two where HTC.
If you have root you can flash official firmware from Sammobile through Odin, that gets rid of root and any modified system settings and then you will be able to update ota. The best part is that it keeps your data in tact and also not trip Knox counter

But if you reflash stock-rom via Smart Switch, you can get OTA again.

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

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

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.
i'm going to root my s7 and i'm interested what exactly 0x1 causes, already know that i won't be able to use SPay and SHealth and won't be able to update ota, however will i be able to flash stock from odin? and restore data from smart switch backup?

You can still flash back to stock with Odin and S Health has a fix so that works and Smart Switch works as far as I know

Hi, i have ordered a Samsung S8+ that was discounted as it had left the store and been returned and I'm a paranoid guy so.
Is there any way to check if the software on the phone has been tampered with?
I live in Sweden so its a Exynos version.
Would a factory reset restore the device to its original state?

Put it in Download Mode, and check the KNOX Flag. If it's 0x0, The phone's cherry is still not popped.

If you are okay with the phone being rooted or knox being tripped you can installed TWRP on it and wipe the internal storage and then use ODIN to flash stock firmware. Anything that could have been tampered with on the phone should get erased then.

Lots of software checks for KNOX, and if it's not the factory default value (i.e it isn't 0x0 but 0x1), it won't run. Only solution is a custom firmware that hides this from these software.

After rooting your phone warranty will be set to 1.
You can check by going to download mode and reading the property : Warranty void
If its a 1 you can never use these apps again for security reasons

This isn't correct, once you flash back to stock with Odin the security is restored. The knox counter trip means the warranty is void because the phone had been rooted etc
