What happened with the Imei number if i may ask, lost your EFS folder while flashing roms?
If Samsung repairs it they probably have to replace the motherboard, don`t know if that is covered by warranty cause it had a valid Imei when you got it i guess.

Try what @Cleverfish said and flash a stock rom with Odin 3.04. Worth a try.

u have to read carefully in the OP, mate. Install the stock version through odin.
If in doubt, just ask in the thread.
Just ignore what Samsung told u.
They just out to scare u.
Don't worry about other things.

Yes did flash it again nothing helped and also knox counter did not increase at all I mean may knox became one when I was on 4.2.2 and I installed leaked ver. 4.3 by sammobile (aasian singapure I beleive) after that many times i did flashed german one and Fiinland one which was 4.2.2 and knox did no increase or any other things.....

Are u using stock rom? What device do you own? Give us more details about.
go to sammobile.com and look for your country and carrier. See what baseband it has, then download the modem from xda.
