Hello! I got an update after installing my "new" 9505 with the famous sticker on the side (This product Is only comaptible wIth a SIM card Issued from a...)
However, I got the condion that KNOX warranty void is: 0x1
I can't go down to MGA or other firmwares... Sad. I understand that it is not possible to go back to MGA or another old stock firmware.
Can someone tell me how big the chances are that we will have a fix, a hack or anything to solve this problem?
Or is it nearly impossible?
All the best,

If after an official update your knox flag was triggered, i'd say you walk up to Samdung and give them **** about it. It should not have happened because that's idiotic on their part. If your binary flash counter is 0, then it's perfectly fine and you should take it up with Samsung (or the carrier you got it from).

It came fist with an official OTA update, but now I flashed a dozen different things, from 4.3.3 to OMEGA, to GOLDEN EYE and more - I just played around a bit. I do not know if they are so friendly when they see this.
When I heard it right, the Mobile Odin doesn't work any more, and I do not know if I can get hands on a new one.
And even when I get a new one, and it has the very latest system - would it make a difference?? I do not know, really!

Well now the point is moot. Because you can't really prove that an official firmware caused the flag to trip. So you can try reverting to stock and fighting with them on the warranty if you can show that there's a fault with the phone not on the software level but hardware. Otherwise, you'll have to live with it.

I don't know what's going on here.
I've had a rooted phone for a while, but wanted to update to 4.3 since that came out recently.
So I've reinstalled the stock firmware on my I9505 (XXUAME2, Poland), the whole big package. Installing this went without a problem, and now I'm back with a stock ROM. I did this because I wanted to go the official update path (perhaps I don't really need this, but... well, I'm a flash-addict).
However, if I try to find a new update using the "Update" button in the "About device" menu, all I get is an information that I've already got the latest software.
KIES, on the other hand, tells me that my device's current firmware version is not supported.
What's going on here?

Hi,
Did you try Triangle Away,from the market?
It will show if you triggered the flash counter.
Having said that,you still have the old ,non-knox bootloader.
You might want to just keep that and flash custom ROMS.
They have all the goodness of official ones,but you are still free of any restrictions.

I've used Triangle Away before, to reset my counter. Of course, after flashing in the official firmware the phone's no longer rooted, so Triangle Away won't work.
That said, I THINK I know why the official update procedure(s) failed - I've mixed up the firmware for my product code. Apparently when I originally rooted the device I've changed the product code to BTU and have been using that ever since without really knowing about it. But now I've installed the Polish firmware XEO, and I think this is why the update process went crazy.
With regards to custom ROMs... I've already got the phone configured the exact way I like it, and I know some custom ROMs can be... quite different. Are there any specific custom ROMs you had in mind that have all the goodies of official ROMs without the restrictions you mentioned?

Hi,
TA is used while you are still rooted to reset the counter.
Then, you install stock ROM/firmware.
Only you know how you like your phone,so only you can make that decision about the ROM you choose.
The main restrictions are that once you root the new firmware with the new knox bootloader, you will trigger the knox warranty,and you will never be able to flash an older firmware.
Not everyone is bothered by this,so, this is all a personal choice again.

Any chance there's a custom ROM created from the stock firmware but with the bootloader removed?
I've read about Knox and I'm kind of glad the firmware update failed, as I wouldn't feel comfortable with that "warranty void" flag...
hi, i just got my note 3 n9005 international a couple of days ago & now its time to root...you can say i am a little new to samsung because the last device i used was an s3 & that was a long time ago.....
i dont have any warranty so knox isnt that big of a concern unless it may cause some sort of damage to the phone...so far i have read..its only for warranty purposes like the flash counter for s3.
i was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to point me to rooting & everything else i need to do to install custom roms including recovery...
i tried to read through the instructions of root de la vega but i find it too complicated...so i was thinking of doing cf auto root....
thank you

Samsung issue a 24month warranty on the Note 3 (maybe country specific?) -
If KNOX isn't an issue for you and you do not mind tripping it, the CF-Auto is the way to go.
RDLV is complicated if you're lazy, but it does preserve KNOX status depending on your bootloader version, put in #*1234# into your dial pad and post the results. We can know if you can use RDLV.
However, if you want to flash a Custom ROM, then you will need a custom recovery, which will trip your KNOX (can't be done without) - on the Android dev section and Orginal Android dev section (in this sub forum) are some Custom ROMs and the instructions on how to do so.
I have used X-Note, Crash and am currently using AllianceROM, but there are a few others.
Just be careful with custom kernels until you're pretty confident cause you can bootloop and ruin your EFS quite easily (it is fixable 99% of the time tho, script is on here also)
EDIT : All you need is here pretty much
thank you for your reply & these are the stats
AP: N9005XXUDMJ6
CP: N9005XXUDMJ4
CSC: N9005EVRDMJ4
also RDLV is way too complicated for me & besides i do plan to install a custom recovery so i think that defeats the point ....since you seem to have tripped knox, there hasnt been any kind of system issue i hope? this whole knox business gave me cold feet when i read about it...but so far as i can see..its just a flash counter.... could you tell me the tools i need to get started with? i already downloaded the usb drivers & odin 3.09..is there anything else i should need?
p.s. i was reading about "before or later MJ7 4" whatever...& i was wondering which of these was it refering to? ap? thank you
Once you trip the knox counter it makes no difference to the phone except not being able to use knox containers, and of course the warranty which you know. -- if you have the drivers and odin. Go grab cf-autoroot, run it thru odin and voila all done, similar for twrp or Cwm which ever you choose as your custom recovery (I use twrp) flash in odin and that's it all set.
Just make sure and I can't stress this enough, that you flash the right ROM for the N9005, and N900 doesn't work. - avoid doing restores with twrp for now also when you do a back up, some issues have arose recently and not sure of they're resolved or not yet.
Have fun man, just read everything about the ROM etc before you flash the odd one has FC's or NFC issues
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
ok so backing up & restoring with recovery is, for the time being, a no no? yes i will make sure to see if the roms are made for n9005 only....i will probably start off with omega roms as they are the 1st choice i had when i started modding the s3 ....thank you soo much mate for all the info...1 last thing to clear up is i am reading on developers talking about MJ or MK or whatever it is....are they talking about the build number i find in Settings/About??
1 thing i couldnt get a proper answer for...is how does 1 know they have the international variant of the n9005 anyway? normally if a n9005 is under some sort of carrier...the carrier logo would flash when booting up right? because thats what happens on my brother's note 3 n9005...when he boots up his phone..it shows SFR logo before going to the samsung bootanimation.....but on mine there is no such thing...the simple note 3 n9005 text then samsung boot animation & then straight to system...that means mine is the unbranded 1 am i correct?

Yeah yours is unbranded, only thing that may/will apply to you is region lock (which unless you're leaving the country your purchased your phone in isn't an issue at the start.
Although I see your CSC is EVR (if I recall correctly that is EE UK's firmware on board)
EDIT: Yes MK/ML are build numbers
no i dont have region lock..THAT i checked...so can i go forwards with all the rooting recovery & custom roms? i did find a orange core services apk on my apps manager under ALL tab..... also what original firmware can i roll back to incase anything goes wrong? any specifics?

Yup can go forwards. EVR (EE aka Orange/T-Mobile) have unlocked phones so yeah you won't have region lock. Which means yours is unbranded but carrier unbranded.
As for firmware, it depends on what region you are using? And what country you are in (you could use BTU (also UK, unbranded but EVR is ok also) - You are **now I say this depending on your country/region** OK on MJ7 or MK2 IF you upgrade since you're using a UK based ROM/CSC your network obviously supports it. However battery life is better on lower than MJ6. So it's your choice really.
Most custom ROMs are MK2 or ML2 atm I think, - Not sure if any upgrade your bootloader to MJ7 (if they do, you can't roll back any lower currently)
i just need a stock firmware so as i have a fallback if anything goes wrong...nothing more really as i plan to stick with custom roms...will this do?
http://samsung-updates.com/details/17028/Galaxy_Note_3_Snapdragon/SM-N9005/EVR/N9005XXUDMJ6.html
i am in Bangladesh so i am pretty confident that there isnt any rom for my region
yea i was wondering about the battery life myself...i dont know what version my brother's note is but his battery lasts noticibly longer than mine does....i was even planning on swapping batteries as i thought it might be a cell related issue

As long as your bootloader doesn't go to MJ7 - that firmware is OK, If your bootloader updates ( I think it may with the custom ROM) you can't roll back to MJ6, you can go to MJ7 or MK2 via BTU which will work for you since EVR works.
the latest omega is ML2 so by that measure...i wont be able to roll back to MK2 either & the latest on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459328 is MK2

You can drop back as far as MJ7 ( I have at least when I've returned to stock due to mess ups) my build is MK2 atm
the bootloader only goes to MJ7 (last I checked, If it has changed then mine still lets me roll to MJ7)
csc seems a very complicated mess...GOD when did the mod friendly samsung go this crazy? the s3 was the most fun thing to mod...now this feels more complicated then Sony's!! :'( since my csc is EVR...is it possible to put BTU? i saw someone post this but didnt get any replies... http://www.usofttech.com/t128991.html

1 last query & i think i can start....with my current MJ6 build...can i do the cf auto root? or do i need to be on a lower build? if i can...then i think i will start or should i wait for the MJ7 to finish downloading & root that with cf auto root? & mate...thank you... you helped clear a lot of the confusions stopping me from modding this...now i think i can start things with a bit of confidence...thank you....

You can CF root straight away, - since you're triggering KNOX anyway it won't affect you. Then on with custom recovery etc, just keep MJ7 as your stock back up on your PC just incase. and IF you run into any issues with EFS (bootloops/no signal/wifi/baseband etc) use THIS It has saved me and quite a few others.
EDIT: And no problem man, glad to help, we all start somewhere with new devices

TWRP has issues *sometimes* there's a few posts about it around, I personally have had no problems and use TWRP fine, but I mentioned it because what works for one, doesn't always for another.
As for EFS backup, keep it just incase -- IT seems Android can rebuild the EFS again with that fire script. -- It's handy though, gotten a few out of the crapper including myself
Hi,
I've just got a Note 3 so not sure of all the ins and outs. I've been reading the forum and worked out it's status is Custom.
I don't think it's rooted, I certainly haven't done it.
Basically I want the Kit Kat update but it tells me I can't update OTA as it's modified and through Kies it says it's up to date which isn't true. I'm on 4.3.
Anyway If I can do the update with Odin I'd be happy but could you help me:
Firstly what version of Odin should I use. I can see a 3.07. It seems old but is that OK ?
Secondly I can't work out what firmware I need to download for it. I have done *#1234# and this is what it tells me the following:
AP: N9005XXUBMJ3
CP: N9005XXUBMJ1
CSC:N9005DBTBMJ3
Any ideas what it is and which I'd need to download for it ? When I got it the phone was set to German by default but I'm not sure if that means it is German or not.
I'd like to use a UK firmware if I can but would that screw the phone up in some way. I've read about KNOX.... not really sure what that's about but it doesn't sound too good if I break it.
Basically any help on what to download and I guess how to use Odin to put it on there would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you
Daniel

any ODIN will do. I used 3.0.9, and flashed well.
You can download any firmware. don't worry. If you wish to use German firmware, there's NB7 - DBT, but this firmware need a pit file to be flashed together with it.
If you want UK, there's also UK version
The latest one, which most of the dev use as a base for custom ROM is NC2 czech. I personally have flashed this stock firmware into some of my friend's Note 3, and run into no trouble with ODIN 3.0.9.
You should try to go into download mode, and see what is written down there. As you said your system status is modified/custom, I believe if you go into download mode, you will find KNOX = 0x1.
I found this state as well on my friend's new N9005 stock 4.3 unrooted. My friend bought an export set for Europe countries (and it happened to be German firmware as well, same as yours)
cheers.
Thanks for the reply. It's good to know it shouldn't hurt whichever I decide to go with.
In terms of where I should get the ROM from. Is http://samsung-updates.com/ the best place to get it ?
Here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N9005 I see there are some NC2 ones but no Czech one. Would the top one the Philipines one work ?
Also I can't get into Download Mode. It just comes up with android system recovery (3e). Is that a problem ?
Sorry I really haven't a clue with all this.

go to here : www.samfirmware.com
login there / sign up if you have no account.
just type ur device on the textbox firmware. you will find the firmware that you want
philipines one should also work. try to find those without the provider carrier (less bloatware)
to go into download mode : power down your device. after that you can power up by using ==> vol down + home + power, once you go in then press vol up to continue.
to go into recovery mode (the one u mentioned above) : power down your device. after that power up using ==> vol up + home + power.
Right just realised what I was doing wrong and got into the Download Mode. It says KNOX Warranty Void 0x1
Does that matter ? I don't need to use the private file storage thing really to be honest.
Can I still flash a ROM OK ?
And again is that one on samsung-updates.com OK ?
Thank you!

to be honest, KNOX flag trip will only affect if you have use the KNOX container earlier before it trip.
But if you never use, it should be fine. It will only a matter of warranty which is the main issue. But since you said you have never done anything to your phone, I believe you have bought it from 3rd party (non samsung store) which claim to be an export set (which come without samsung warranty). This thing happen to 1 of my friend actually which I mentioned on my above posting.
But don't worry, means now you don't need to worry about KNOX trip anymore (unless you want to bring up the issue to whom you bought the phone from, and actually it will be useless as well, as no prove the knox is tripped by the seller).
You can just download any firmware. Go to the site I mentioned earlier (to get the newest) : www.samfirmware.com
get it from there.
OR

Brilliant! Thank you for all your help I have now flashed it with Odin to 4.4.2. I went for the UK one in the end which might not be the very latest version but I'm happy
Thanks again that's made my day. You're right I don't care about KNOX and couldn't prove anything anyway so I shall carry on and enjoy my nice new KitKat Note 3

Hello!
Today I had a really weird situation with my Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo !
I put the phone on the charger as usual, then went to sleep.... Only to wake up on the boot intro sound of my device several times!
The only obvious reason for this situation is probably just putting my phone on the charger!
I tried to reboot several times, removed the battery and waited for a while, but in vain! Sometimes I had the logo screen, very slow one with a stuttering audio, sometimes not.
I tried to flash stock Kitkat firmware 4.4.4 (the same Hong Kong one I was using already)... No change!
I couldn't boot properly into recovery till I decided to flash TWRP and do a full erase of just about everything that could be erased!
The result?? You guessed it... NO CHANGE! Still the same bootloop, while sometimes I could see the launcher before the reboot!
I decided to try to flash the previous firmware that was before the update (4.3 Jellybean, UAE) and send it to the service center, and I just removed everything from the phone: The battery, and all the cards were removed and put aside! However, I found that this will trigger the Knox Warranty flag to 0x1, definitely not the best shape for visiting the service center! :\
After all, I decided to give it one last try to boot before I send it to be serviced just the way it became. To my surprise, I managed to boot successfully and restore almost everything. The only noticeable loss was the Samsung "Over The Horizon" soundtrack! (Got links for this one, please??)
However, all that flashing wasn't for free! I had a change of both firmware statuses to "Custom" after I had a once "Official" firmware tag! To my chances, I didn't trip the Knox Warranty Flag, and I had my device rooted using CF-AutoRoot with Odin!
A few questions here:
1. What the heck is going on?! What caused all of this from the beginning??!! The phone was rooted and working great before that! I even managed to resolve the battery drain and the camera issues for good! (I'll describe my method later )
2. After all that play, how come I didn't trip the Knox flag?! Was it just... luck???!!!!
3. Can I change to the UAE firmware from the Hong Kong one without tripping the Knox flag???!!! I have little problems with the Hong Kong one, despite the fact that I had some crashes and minimal glitches before! As you all know, Android is a glitchy OS, but this one has much less glitches than before.
Thank you for your time. Hope to see your thoughts asap
Question 1: I read similar problem on samsung phone somewhere caused by defective or dirty microUSB connector. Perhaps your several flashing resulted on dislodging of the dirt from the connector thus your reboot problem was resolved.
Question 2: I also flashed 4.3 over kitkat from hongkong rom and the knox was not tripped. Perhaps only rom 4.2 and below will trip the knox?
Question 3. I have done flashing from Hongkong to UAE to Russia no problem with knox.
Good luck!

Thanks a lot!
BTW, which one is better to use of the three firmwares you flashed already?? I have the I9300I with the 1.4 GHz Quadcore CPU and I know that some firmwares are made for the 1.2 GHz edition...

You may have read my experiences with kitkat on a separate post? I am back to 4.3 now.
Anyway the most stable among the 3 is the latest Hongkong kitkat. Some users here suggest Kazak rom but I has heating problems with that...
After updating to 5.1.1 fw the device continues to restart and shut down.
Trying to get into the "download mode", the message that is knox 1
But I never rootato or modified the notes 4 that is under warranty
The assistance will be able to see that the device has not been tampered although knox showed 1?
There have already been cases like this ??

Thank you

That's not true, the KNOX counter will only be tripped if a file that has been modified is flashed, if you flash stock firmware you wont trip the KNOX counter.

Isn't the ones we flash from sammobile modified one? I thought only the stock that ships with the phone is unmodified, Correct me if I'm wrong

Sammobile provides unmodified firmware files, on a rare occasion if you try to downgrade to an older firmware you can potentially trip KNOX.
I never used odin
I do not know if Knox is tripped after hard reset and restore or after upgrading to 5.1.1 lollipop made with kies 3.
Never any operation of this device modding

hi ,
Firstly ,
i have to say that Knox does not worry me at all ,tripped Knox ..long ago !!.
I thus have no real interest in its workings ,as i do not need Knox in my "life "or on my device !!
That said ,well my logic says (correct me plse if i am wrong )
i have seen processes " Security log event " etc ..( I have disabled this when i rooted ... as it was also giving me wakelocks etc ) Now surely won't any "incident/breach of security ? ..eg rooting ... " be recorded in log event .??
If so surely cause of " tripping" should be establish ?
Thus take it to Samsung centre and ask them to check reason why tripped ?
Above is just my opinion and theory ...or an option to consider ?
good luck

Hello
Even for me knox +1 is not a big problem .. I can rootare the device and put a firmware that is maybe better than stock ..
But I'd like to understand how it happened! But above all I do not accept that I say that I did when the root is not true
I hope they can determine how it happened
Thank you
The device is returned from assistance for warranty service, but the same problems as before ... do you flash a custom rom could solve ??
thanks
If you downgraded your rom knox might get tripped
Maybe you bought used phone?

@ johnmassay ---> Purchased new phone
The problems that I mentioned have remained even after the return from assistance samsung.
Also taken new battery but I have not solved the problems
Also now when the phone warms up for extended use itself off and I have to pull out and reinsert the battery to turn it back
At this point I would just like to understand if it is a hardware problem or sotware.
In case of software problems I could flash a custom rom and I would be all right even without the guarantee samsung.
If it is a hardware problem then the matter is serious + .... and I would not know how to solve .....
advice?
Thanks

Most likely its hardware problem

The center samsung think this is hardware problem ...
in which case we hope is still under warranty despite the Knox warranty Void 01
I bent as in previous posts
Thanks
I hope you sort it out and get a new device and when you do then disable knox. Knox and stock **** that ****. Custom roms is the way to go...
I am interested in custom rom, but if the problem is a hardware device on the solution "custom ROM" becomes not decisive
For now await responses from Samsung .. then I will decide accordingly ..
I'm angry because of this problem the Notes 4 is for me the ideal device, both for work and for fun and I am comfortable ... The Note 5 for example, I do not care because it does not have the MicroSD slot and battery less accurate
We hope you find a solution for my note 4 ..
