How does the Knox flag behave in case of downgrading FW? I have N9005 and would like to upgrade FW to latest unbranded FW with Odin. What happens if I want to downgrade to older version of FW (all including knox)? My carrier unfortunately seldomly updates FW but I will need to downgrade in case of warranty need... Currently I run AP: XXUBMJ1 and CSC: MOTBMJ1. Would downgrade trip Knox flage?
Who knows?
Hi guys,
As you know I'm fairly new here. I just want to ask if (as far as I've read) based on this POST http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498850, I'm running a Baseband Version of N9005XXUDMJ7. It says here that if I root, I will trip Knox but I won't be upgrading. Just rooting. If I continue with this process will I trip Knox?
AP: N9005XXUDMJ7
CP: N9005XXUDMJ7

You are altering system files, you will trip Knox... Doesn't matter that you're not changing rom.
If you were, as long as it was a stock firmware and the right bootloader, you wouldn't trip Knox...

What do you a stock firmware? I would get my firmware from sammobile. So what you're saying is that if I just root I'll trip Knox. But if I change my rom I won't?
So I should just follow the video on RDLV?
Sorry. Running a celeron processor of a brain here. -_-

De la Vega says: "If you are running MJ4, MJ7, MK1, MK2 or higher you can still root, but you will trip KNOX!"
Your firmware is MJ7 so you will trip Knox.
As you are on MJ7 it would be easier to just flash cf-autoroot... You will trip knox but easier to use.
You would trip Knox anyway and there's more steps using URDLV...
On the other hand if you want a different region rom on your Note 3 then you can pretty much just pick and flash a stock rom (as long as the new bootloader is in it) with no fear of tripping Knox....
Just don't think you can go back to MI7 or MJ1 to use URDLV to root without tripping Knox as they have the old bootloader that will see you boot looping until you reflash a newer version of stock rom with the new bootloader.
Is it possible to root stock I9505XXUFNB9 put a custom recovery and install CM11? or is there any limitation of the bootloader etc? In this case i dont care about tripping knox.
Or is it possible to downgrade to NA4 without tripping knox?
Hello
