I'm going to buy a i9505 via three and its HTS firmware. Can I flash NEE firmware without tripping Knox or e-fuse? I don't want to root it right now, just have it without threes menus and logos...

Hi, I use apps like sky go which mean I cant be rooted. Currently stock latest BTU so have a knox bootloader, but no knox app (annoying messages EVERY day )
All I want is stock 4.3, unrooted. Is this possible?
I remember someone once saying csc was all bullcrap and most firmwares were interchangable if using Odin. Is this correct?
Many Thanks

Yeah, It is possible, download it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252982 and flash via odin, It will not trigger knox counter because it is officialy signed by samsung
Just looking for if this is true or not? There seems to be conflicting info in the general thread about this. Basically does flashing an official rom from sammobile trip the knox counter?
I know in the past with samsung devices I had, the flash counter would never increase as long the rom was official even if it was from another region.
Just interested in flashing an unbranded UK rom to my 9005 so that's why I'm asking.
Thanks for the help.

If you want to debrand this should be alright as long as you use a rom from the same region / country.
So if you have an uk branded phone, you should flash stock unbranded uk and this shouldnt trigger knox.
Not sure about region differences, but that could trigger knox.
But all this updates the bootloader - I'm still trying to find out what the real consequences are.

It's actually a Malaysian phone so I would be switching over to another region with the UK rom. I just know with my galaxy tab 2 you could flash roms from where ever and it wouldn't trip the counter as long as it was official. So it looks like this isn't the case anymore?
I had Australian TEL and flashed UK BTU and it didn't trip. Just make sure you factory reset after flashing to get the CSC to change.

Ok that's good to know. The only other thing then is what is everyone talking about how the boot loader apparently changes when you flash a different rom?
Just make sure you flash a recent firmware. Apparently there were some phones that shipped without a secure boatloader. If you flash one of these over a secured one it will trip the flash. Basically if you a recent firmware you should be fine.

+1 this experience.
AFAIK flashing stock firmwares via odin won't trip the Knox binary counter...

Sup guys. I have a couple of questions:
Knox is tripped if i flash a stock rom from my region via odin?
If the baseband is not the same from the stock rom from sammobile, i have the correct baseband if i flash the baseband from odin knox is tripped?
If i do that still can have updates via OTA?
thanks for the help.
A litte help, pls?

Already read that, but stating my doubts are:
-Even if you flash a KNOX-enabled firmware via odin (e.g. the latest fw) knox will be set to 0x1
-Flashing unsigned or modified images via odin will set knox to 0x1

Hi all, I have a Gt-i9505 with a branded firmware that is sim unlocked, I would like to flash the newest firmware that is Unbranded...... Is this at all possible??
Sent from my Gt-i9505 using XDA Premium 4 App
Yes this is possible. Flash rom via Odin. Do note new formwares have knox enabled bootloaders if your on a pre knox firmware. There's plenty of discussion here what knox is and the knox warranty issues etc read up on it all before deciding what to do.

hey guys:
so here are some questions about mobile odin app on my SM-G900F
1- so if i root my phone and then open mobile odin i will be able to flash any firmware using my mobile only? ( on the same model SM-G900F ofcourse)
2-my firmware according to samsung kies is NE2 (LEB) it means lebanon in the middle east, can i flash the firmware NG2(uk) via odin?
3-does cf-root by chainfire works when im on NG2 firmware? i mean does it root my device when im on latest firmware?
so those are my questions, i just want to make things clear to not get my phone in trouble
thanks in advance my friends :fingers-crossed:
I didn't try Mobile ODIN so far on my S5 but this is how it is supposed to work.
I did flash latest UK stock rom & it works perfectly. I am in middle east as well by the way. Also rooted my G900F using Cf-root on NG2 with no problem. Just as you may know, this will hit the Knox counter which is unrecoverable so far.
