Yep...your bootloader is secured...knox will trigger 0x1 if you root it and/or flash custom rom or mods and you loose warranty

Is there anyway to un-knox a phone?

Does anyone know if its possible to remove the knox bootloader from a phone that applied the update?
Why can't we just odin an older stock tar? Will that not work?

Not currently possible to rollback the bootloader, however there are a number of "un-knox'd" ROM's available.

You have some reading to do.

Would running an un knoxed rom trip the warranty fuse knox enables? Are there any aosp/cm un knoxed roms out that u know of?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

All aosp/cm roms are unknoxed. That has nothing to do with the bootloader. Once an S4 has been upgraded to MJA or newer software you have the knox enabled bootloader and the only way not to trip the knox warranty flag is not to root it. This flag is pretty useless and means nothing to most users. It has no affect on your phone usage or modding ability. All it does is let Samsung know that you rooted the phone if you send it in to them for warranty work. They may or may not choose to work on your phone under warranty. It doesn't affect your ability to go to Sprint and have them fix your phone. It only matters if you are going to ship your phone to Samsung to fix. If you have insurance (TEP), best buy, square trade, or any other program than you are good, Just use your damn phone and enjoy it!

Oh good to hear thanks

If you are on 4.4.2 MJ4 or newer you cannot root without KNOX beeing tripped. Period It will remain 0x1 wether you flash once or 50 times.

Well I'm on old kitkat version
Now can I root without getting flag

Where i live the N comes after the M alfabeticaly so you will get flagged.
URDLV http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498850 :
What devices are supported?
Just about every Samsung device with KNOX! (Excluding Exynos based devices)
Samsung has caught on and has started patching bootloaders, you can still root, but you will trip KNOX.
If you are running MJ4, MJ7, MK1, MK2 or higher you can still root, but you will trip KNOX!

Is there is any way to make my 3g dongol over otg work without rooting

But all in all, what you are asking is posted on xda and on the web a million times already.
I don't get it why do people even respond to such questions.
My advice, don't even try rooting and flashing.

Custom ROM on official 4.3

Good day guys., I am now ready to void my knox warranty and I wanted to have a custom rom. Is it possible? I read somewhere that only the old bootloader is allowed to have custom rom. Am I stuck in this unfortunate rom?

There is only two ways:
1. Change conclusively Knox 0x1 and have root and custom ROM. Of course loose waranty.
2. No root no change knox 0x0 and have a stock

Yeah it's okay for me to have 0x1 knox. I just want to make sure cause I thought I read somewhere you cant flash custom rom on knox bootloader
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

So last question im a little bit paranoid, is it possible to flash a custom rom given I had a knox bootloader?

Warranty void

Hello guys
THIS IS A QUESTION TO ALL THOSE WHO DONT CARE ABOUT SAMSUNG WARRANTY/ AT&T WARRANTY.
I am aware that attempting to downgrade from kit kat to jellybean will trip Knox counter however I don't care for it. What will be the worst consequence of me doing so. Soft brick? Or hard brick. And if I do succeed will the triped counter prevent me from having a custom recovery.
Tripping the Knox bootloader counter to 0x1 isn't a worry of mine . But a hard brick is so if I can and be able to load custom recovery NOT SAGES TRAP. That be great. I've been rooting/flashing for years now and I never seen such measures of slavery from a company. I never bought a phone with warranty anyways.
Ps: there's no straight answer in searches. All I've gotten is mixed answer I need a straight YES or NO. If yes how.

No, you can't downgrade an ATT I337 from 4.4.2 back to Jelly bean. They locked the boot loader and it is not possible to flash a downgraded kernel. It's not a warranty issue, it's a "there's no way to do it that is known" issue.
Some folks with Canadian phones have reported success (at expense of tripping Knox) but I'm not aware of any way to do it on U.S. ATT phones. And I agree with you, it's ridiculous what ATT/Verizon are doing with these locked boot loaders. Next time, I will buy an unlocked phone...

Is there at least some sight of relief to report in the attempts at unlocking so far. Beside Safe strap.

Everything I have read suggests no known avenue of exploit. I think this is a permanent and irrevocable thing that our wonderful devs have been unable to crack. Sigh.

Of I'm not mistaking the s5 also had a locked bootloader. So will an exploit in that aid here.

Except for the boot loader, the rest of the system can be downgraded to MK2. Read this thread for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663545
