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] Korean Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900S/L/K)

I haven't found an official thread yet about this device. Figured, I should get one going. The Korean variant is always different (at least in my past experiences with my SGSI, II, III, and Galaxy Tab. None of the rooting/mods work with the Korean versions.
I just got my phone yesterday, so hopefully we can get some resources and information flowing.
Hopefully some other peoples have this phone as well and we can work this out together!
Stayed tuned, hopefully I can get this thing going!

Chainfire is always on top of these phones and always gets some of the Korean stuff done as well.
Here is a link for his CF-Auto Root. Be careful though and read the thread. It could have problems with KNOX as well, and at the very least, void your warranty.
Always, READ READ READ!

Finally a thread for Korean variants! I've got myself a N900L (LGU+ Model).
As for the rooting, URDLV, kingoapp, vroot method seemed to work. At least mine was successfully rooted without tripping the KNOX flag.
MOP 3.85 currently doesn't support Korean variants, so no luck with flashing latest firmware with MOP.
Still hope MOP would support these models someday.

Coming from the SGSIII, I have no idea what those methods are about.
You seem like you've gotten a bit accomplished so far. Where did you find the roots?
What is MOP?

ROOTing Method
1. RDLV: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487916
[Moderators under investigation]
2. vRoot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502967
3. Kingoapp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499546
vRoot and Kingoapp is currently under investigation, so you should find the tool by yourself.
If you firmware above MJ6, you might have a new bootloader and trip KNOX warranty flag using either of the two tools.
(saw one guy claiming that he tripped KNOX flag with MJ8 firm via vRoot)
MOP is just short for Mobile ODIN Pro. Since MOP doesn't mess up with bootloader, it is considered only way to upgrade above MJ5 while keeping ROOT and KNOX.

RDLV seems to work on MJ1 as people (like me with the MJ5) who tried past the MJ3 update tripped the knox flag 0x1. afterwards, i haven't checked that forum or the kingoapp forum, so it could have changed since then.
Edit: deleted the rest of the post since i replied to you in a different forum with all of the links...

Xtrestolite on G920I 5.1.1 Stock without Knox Trip?

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

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?

Do I need unl. bootloader to root?

Hi,
I'm using Samsung S6 with stock software and would like to root it using CF-Auto-root. My question is whether I need to unlock bootloader first or is it safe to flash image from CF-Auto-root site by ODIN?
I don't care about knox. I'm O.K. with tripping it. Just don't want to brick the phone.

Thanks for info. You're right. I've just rooted my S6 using CF-AutoRoot. Looking forward to install TWRP and some good alternative ROM.

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
Sent from my SM-G930F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
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:
