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 ?

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.

Galaxy S7 TELSTRA root.

Hi,
I recently updated my S7 (Australian Telstra model) and can't find any rooting available for it. Has anyone got a root out for Build Number: MMB29K.G930FXXU1BPIT yet? Baseband version is G930FXXU1BPIQ and when I click 'Software Update' it checks for a latest software and tells me it's the latest already with the current version: G930FXXU1BPIT/G930FTEL1BPIT/G930FXXU1BPIQ.
I also hear alot about 'tripping knox' when you root a Galaxy S7. Can someone please explain what is meant by this?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, knox WILL be tripped for the international model of the S7. No way to avoid that. Tripped knox counter means void warranty

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:
