[Q] Installing stock rom after Knox is 0x1

Hello all
Last week I flashed my GT-I9505 a CyanogenMod 10.2 and thus voided my warranty (Knox is 0x1).
Now I regret doing it and I wanna badly go back to stock rom and receive Kies and OTA updates from Samsung and so on.
Is there a way to come back to stock rom 4.3 after I tripped the Knox flag and receive updates?
I heard that when you try to flash stock rom after Knox is 0x1 you gonna brick your device.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Nothing to worry dear you can go back to stock and you will get OTA also and if done properly unroot you will not brick device

Thanks for the quick reply.
I do worry a lot because this device cost me a lot.
What are the steps to unroot safely and goto 4.3 with OTA and KIES updates?
Just as I would do if I were on stock? Put the file in PDA and all the normal steps?
Or do I need to do something extra now?

As you have downloaded cf autoroot now you have to download stock file of your area or location.go to setting see the built version download it from Sammobile site your area built then flash via odin putting that in pda and start odin

I didn't use CF-Autoroot. I installed CyanogenMod on my device using their Installer.

Ok first go to settings then more from there go to about phone, click 10 times on kernel tab you will get developer mode activate then press back key, go to developer mode activate it then debugging mode enable it.then download your area firmware, odin after download put your phone in download mode flash via odin

OK thanks. Now that when I'll go back to stock and get OTA and KIES updates what will the Knox serve for?
I thought having the Knox meaning I can't get back to stock and not receive updates.

knox is so they can see when you send your device in that the warrenty is void.
other than that knox does not bother you (apart from downgrading baseband)

Thanks. So if I do not intend on downgrading baseband and don't have problems with losing my warranty then all is OK?

Good, thanks.
Now I wanted to ask you one more question.
As you know, there are roms which do not include Knox in their bootloader. Examples of these are Phoenix and Arrow roms.
What I wanted to ask is if I decide to install one of these roms which does not include Knox, will it delete the Knox out of my bootloader? And on the next time I will install stock rom 4.3 it will show Knox 0x0 as if it were never there?
Thanks

One vital step has been missed if you want to receive OTA: You must reset flash counter using Triangle Away app.

OK. Can you please answer my latest question?
Will installing one of the roms which does not include Knox will remove the Knox out of my bootloader and on the next time I would install stock rom it will be 0x0?

There are a few unconfirmed reports of people resetting knox, but until its proven i doubt it...
From what is said its impossible to remove, maybe at some point someone will get it cracked, but knox is still new.

Knox is there to stay for now and this will not work. If something so simple did work i am sure everyone would be doing it to remove knox

I confirm this. I just downgraded from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2
I was using Omega 19 till yesterday. Today i went mad and was switching b/w different ROMS. here is the story:
Installed AICP ROM 4.4.2, i didn't liked the ROM very much so i went back to old MIUI rom (miuiandroid_multi_ja3g_4.1.3_jb-4.2). Then just for a check, i copied I9500_Omega_v14.1_UBUBMH1 and flashed. Yep It did work. Here is the screenshot.

but all know bootloader will not allow you to downgrade!

Yes I heard some people downgraded from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2
But my question is knox will be gone or not? And if its gone the Warranty void 0×1 will be reset to 0×0 or not?

From which 4.4.2 stock firmware exactly did you downgrade? What about Knox Kernel Lock and Warranty Void when you boot into download mode? I reckon they are still there and both are set to 0x1, right? Could you post a screenshot please? Thanks.

find the modem file of your phone's current firmware. then downgrade the firmware. and then flash the modem file...
(there is a problem the phone can't be charged when it is off)

it does not reset knox counter. if your knox counter was already triggered, it remains the same. i downgraded my GT-I9500 yesterday.

And I9505 is possible to downgrade?

Please new download link

I rooted my phone then....added (flashed) the 4.2.2 modem to it. Then flashed the 4.2.2 firmware. You will have to extract the modem from the firmware. Just add the extension .rar to the firmware name ( rename it) eg. 'Tar.md5.rar' and extract modem.bin. use odin to flash it to your phone. Use PDA OPTION TO FLASH MODEM FILE. Then flash your 4.2.2 firmware. Factory reset and wipe cash before phone starts up. However.....no sound...no wifi. ..have to find a work around this. Will let you all know when I figure it out.....Contact me at [email protected].

Flash the modem again and you should have your issue resolved. Sometimes the flash doesn't fully take, and it might have something to do with the S4 storing a backup of the modem.

[Q] Help on custom ROM and the knox 0x1 workaround

Hi XDAers,
I just have an i9505 carrier locked with Globe telecoms (Phil). I rooted via ODIN and Clockwork 6.0.4.7 via ODIN as well. I was impatient and I later realized that this KNOX thing is 0x1 on my phone. Does this Knox tripped thing do anything with messing up with my future use of custom roms? I am on 4.2.2 with baseband ver i9505xxubmg5. I want to use custom ROMS with 4.4.2 like Arrow ROM or the likes. I am actually lost here. I dont know whether this KNOX will mess up the functionality of my phone. How do I proceed in installing custom ROMS? Since I am rooted and have clockwork installed should I justt go ahead and download custom zipped ROMS and install? I used to have i9000 Galaxy S, and I was using custom all the way and now that I got my phone replaced with this i9505.. I think I cant live with a stocked based ROM. What are the disadvantages of having KNOX 0x1? Will I not be able to use custom roms without problems?

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it has KNOX. I just got the phone last week. As I already done rooting it.. checking it on SuperSU it said do I wish to disable KNOX? then I pressed yes... some way or the other the carrier may have had knox preinstalled or something... or maybe I am totally lost what KNOX is... what I am afraid of, maybe if it has KNOX, I do hope it doesnt affect performance and phone capabilities in any way.
One thing, if I proceed to install new ROM, will I just download zip file, den go to recovery then install it? is it just that simple like the old days?

No it doesnt many customs rom are available saying they r knox free ....but 4.2.2 cant hav knox on it can u just give a capture of u device in download mode

Ok,
when i set everything together:
4.4.2 is the first version that contains KNOX?
When flashed a 4.4.2 stock you cant go back to previous builds off stock?
So, when i am on XE2 4.2.2, i can actually flash I9505XXUEMKF 4.3 because it doenst contain KNOX?
I reverted back to stock after flash lot of custom but my usb connnector is giving load and data issue..
So i have to go back to sammy for warrenty.
Or is it wish not to flash anything anymore before repair...

Yes. I read about downgrade not possible. Would you suggest I stick with 4.2.2? But there are stable versions of 4.3 and above. I dont want ending up with a headache because I went to a custom ROM 4.3 and <. By the way, the link you just sent a while ago.. the arrow rom.. do I only need to download the zip file and install it via recovery with my current 4.2.2 stock? simple as that or do I need to go to a newer ROM and then flash it with that arrow rom?

Hi. Sorry but have to ask again. I just wanna make sure things will run smoothly and right... considering I downloaded the zip file for the custom rom... do I need to download a bootloader file?
what do I insert in bootloader, PIT, PHONE, PDA, CSC? or Do I just load the zip file of the ROM under CWM and install it?
Thanks

Try to switch of your phone and boot to download mode.(press vol down+home+power button and after that vol up to continue)
see you knox status 0x0 or 0x1. You said its been modified means you knox is 0x1-warranty void.
It is useless to flash stock rom when your knox is 0x1, it will stay like that until a developers can figure it out.
Alternative way is to install wanam exposed, it can set your phone from custom to official.
By the way, are you buying new phone or used phone? if it new its weird coz been rooted.

Did you buy it in a store? We`re the seals intact or broken when you got it, maybe they gave you a refurbished one that still had root? As said above you`re warranty is gone anyway so flash away bro

Nope I didnt buy from official store. and knox status is 0x1. Im not worried about the warranty because I have 2 years from the place where i bought it.. They have to deal with the place they have bought it to resell. I just want to flash this device and remove the root.. how can i do that? Thanks

Just flash a stock ROM... Make sure to do a complete wipe..

No, impossible as you have KK bootloader. It will just hang at the samsung screen and get REALLY hot if you flash a JB rom...

Thanks for all the help.. device flashed and root removed. CHEERS!!!
PS: Can i Flash any kitkat rom available ?

NEW Knox counter? 0x1 (2)

Hello everybody
This is my first thread here in XDA
I've installed 5.0 Lollipop Beta in my N9005 and it works snappy and fast. I've used this build for 3 or 4 complete cycles of battery and it really works very well. Now i've decided to install TWRP an SuperSU to delete some bloatware and in download mode I can see a new number in my Knox 0x1 counter (see pictures attached).
Anybody can explain to me what does it mean? Really it doesn't matter so much to me cause I've tripped my Knox from day one but I didn't know about this kind of counter
Any thoughts?
(sorry for my english)

Nothing on hard or software. Because you flashed a custom recovery you got 0x1 knox. You no longer have warrenty on your device....

My friend I had 0x1 on JB and KK and now I have 0x1 (2) can you see the diference?
Have you flashed that Lollipop beta with odin and using pit?
I think this is all about new bootloader

I have a 3 there lol, still no warrenty left

Ok I can confirm if you flash a 4 archives KK rom using Odin you "revert" to Knox 0x1
:laugh:

I got the 5.0 TW flashed with odin, used pit and updated bootloader.. I still have 0x1

New flash counter i guess someone alert @Chainfire

I think it's the old "Custom Binary Download" counter that first appeared in the Galaxy S2 (if I'm not wrong). Someone should try Triangle Away to reset that counter. However, 0x1 will still remain active .
Edit: This is what I'm talking about.

This counter only gets started when you try to root or install recovery with Lollipop bootloader.

I think this is not that kind of counter my friend. I've try to reset it with latest version of Triangle Away and it have broke my system. The only solution is to install and comebak to 4.4.2 again. Please don't try that until @Chainfire gets an answer.

Please answer this simple question:
In any moment did you installed Lollipop's bootloader?
Did you install the rom with .pit in Odin?

Yes I used PIT and Yes I updated the lollipop bootloader
This is how I flashed the 5.0 Touchwiz

And you don't have root and recovery, do you?

It's a new sort of Knox counter included in new Lollipop's bootloader. Right now you can come back to KK's one and it dissapears.
