Xtrestolite on G920I 5.1.1 Stock without Knox Trip? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm wanting to flash the Xtrestolite ROM on my G920I with stock 5.1.1. After reading through a lot of the post containing the rom, it seems like people are saying as long as you don't change the bootloader, your knox counter won't be tripped. Is that true or am I not understanding? If there is a way to flash Xtrestolite without tripping knox, can someone please give me a quick rundown so I don't accidentally trip knox? I'll be starting from a stock g920i with android 5.1.1.
On a side note, I want the fingerprint scanner to work under Xtrestolite but that looks like it's available in the addon package.
Thanks!

I don't believe there is a way to flash any roms since 5.1.1 without tripping knox

G920F flashing update with odin

Hello everyone. I joined Galaxy S6 community today with the phone that I bought from a my who went to Dubai. It's G920F. It currently have 5.0.2 with baseband G920FXXU1AOE3. I'm planning to download stock 5.1.1 rom from Samfirmware and flash it through Odin. I know that It won't trip knox but I wonder if there will be any problems caused by different region roms. I also want to learn If using the device in another region block ota updates? Or I also wonder if flashing another stock rom will block ota updates. Since it's the first android device I plan to use without root, I am a bit cautious about OTA updates.
I also wonder if shutter speed settings came with 5.1.1. I tried Camera FV5 and couldn't find them
I'm thinking to flash Netherlands rom.
Thank you for answering.
Flashing ROMs via odin won't trip knox. You recieve OTA updates anywhere around the world irregardless of ROM as long as its stock and knox not tripped. Here's Dubai ROM:

Flash 6.0.1 BTU directly over 5.1.1 EVR

Hello
Sorry if I'm posting what has already been asked. I can't seem to find a straight forward answer for my questions.
I have a Galaxy S6 G920F running 5.1.1 EVR (G920FEVR3QOJF),
Is it possible to flash 6.0.1 BTU right over the top without have to make any changes to CSC/root etc using Odin?
Would this trip Knox?
Should I care if it does trip?
Would I then get OTA updates directly from Samsung rather than my carrier?
Is there a downside going to BTU?
thanks in advance

Question about flashing firmware

Hi,
I have a Samsung S6 with SIM lock from the carrier and also their bloatware apps. Can I flash an official firmware from samsung updates without tripping KNOX ?
Thanks !

Depends on the carrier. Usually flashing an incompatible firmware will just fail. Knox will stay untouched. Which carrier is yours?

1. No
2. Yes, you'll come back to original firmware with all working features. The only thing will never change is knox counter, visible in download mode. It will remain to 0x01 (or something like that) and assistance, whenever you' ll need them, could see you modded the phone...
With changed knox counter, you can't use Pay again.
It happened with my s6.

Official 7.0 downgrade 6.0.1 possible?

Hello Guys. The new 7.0 BTU firmware for g930f downgrade 6.0.1 is possible? Knox warranty 0x0?
Yes it possible and it dont trigger knox. But why the hell you wanna downgrade? Nougat is so much better than MM

Thanks for fast reply. Can you try the downgrade? I would like to know before I flash that it works.
You want us to do the dirty work for you? Who are you? Why is your phone and your time more valuable than ours? You have all instructions here on XDA and do it yourself. Its not hard.

I asked only that someone had tried to downgrade. You do not have to do a jerk style comment.
Yes you can downgrade back to Marshmallow using ODIN or SmartSwitch, KNOX 0x0

The Answer is; Yes you can!
But, this can only be done on international Galaxy S7, S7 edge variants, including the American and Canadian version, but except to those device with built in “locked bootlooader” such as the Verizon and AT&T Galaxy S7, S7 edge models or we can say models with Snapdragon Processor.
Devices with unlocked bootloaders can be freely downgrade-able, but those with highly secured bootloader cannot be messed around.
As long as you flash the original firmware with ODIN, you'll not have any problem for unlocked bootloaders.
Download the Firmware from Sammobile or use SamFirm. Flash it through ODIN and you are good to go.:good:
