[Q] On BMJ3 can i flash back to BMI7 without triggering knox - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i received 2 updates a week ago ( i kept cancelling them) to Bmj1 and Bmj3, but bmj 3 seems to be eating my battery with high AndroidOS usage. Can i flash to BMI7 without triggering Knox. Or to something else like BTU Dmj6. I have currently OXX Csc (it appears as ROM in Kies). I dont want to trigger knox.

Anyone?

AFAIK you cant downgrade due to the updated bootloader in MJ3 but you should be able to upgrade to MJ6 without triggering the knox binary counter

Is it safe even if it is different CSC?

Rooted with RDLV, Knox 0x0. But, what now?

I have rooted my Note 3 succesfully with RDLV, without tripping Knox. I am really happy with that.
My phone is branded Vodafone, with CSC N9005VFGBMI1. The latest Firmware for that is MI7.
I have a few questions about this, hope someone can help me with this.
I want to update to N9005XXUDMK2_N9005OXADMK2_BTU.zip. I know it's a different csc, is that possible? (I know I will lose Knox 0x0)
If that is possible, how do I do that?
Thanks!

Somebody show me the way? Just flash the BTU with Odin? I don't mind tripping knox.

1. You should read the thread on how to update the system using Mobile Odin PRO without losing knox 0x0. Also keep in mind that you need to stop both ROM and security automatic updates in order to avoid having the knox flag triggered.
2. Also check http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-N9005&pcode=VOD#firmware
3. If you really want to change CSC away from VOD and for instance to BTU you should probably do that first at MI7 level (from your current MI7 VOD to MI7 BTU) if you want maximum safety and to be able to root again with knox 0x0. You might also need an app to help you checking/changing CSC, look around for threads discussing that specific topic.
Can I safely use a firmware with a CSC N9005VFGDMJ1? Or do I always have to use a firmware of the original CSC? (N9005VFGBMI1)?

You do not need to use a firmware with the original CSC, BUT:
- you should try to do as much of the changes as possible on OLDER versions with the old bootloader (so that you can still root and keep knox 0x0)
- writing a ROM with a different CSC will very often NOT change your effective CSC - many ROMs are multi-CSC and you might keep existing CSC on the new ROM; in order to finalize the change you will need to use a program that forces the CSC change (and you will see that the CSC was changed since it will totally wipe the user data in the phone - like a full factory reset)
- you should also be aware that some changes might mess things on your phone, so instead of jumping to the first change you can think-off you should first try to read more around here.

Thanks for your helpful reply. I will take your advice and will read more around here before I do things I don't understand. I'm rooted now at firmware MI7, with 0x0 Knox. I did a lot of reading before I took that step. I will take time before I do the next one.

Don't forget to disable automatic updates and security updates. Especially read the thread on Mobile Odin PRO and updating while keeping knox 0x0. (CSC is almost irrelevant in most cases - as long as 3G/4G from your provider is correctly detected; if you are rooted with knox 0x0 you will ALWAYS want to update the ROM manually under YOUR control and not when Samsung or your carrier wants to update your phone).

Software Update (also Samsung Hub Update, but that is just since I never use the Samsung Hub). Right now I did not freeze the Security Policy Update but I am tempted - but on that I first disabled automatic security updates somewhere in settings.

In fact N9005VFGDMJ1 and N9005VFGBMI1 are from the same CSC

stock firmware, will not trip knox.
only when you flash something which is not digitally signed by samsung, it will trip KNOX (e.g : root, custom recover, custom ROM).
otherwise, it should be fine. I'm running other country region sometimes, and no problems (though my KNOX is tripped already when I root my device )
Just be aware that once you go to KK you won't be able to go back to JB. I say this as the stock experience isn't stellar with the sd card problem - 3rd party apps not being able to write to external sd card. Stock KK has this problem while it is fixed for rooted roms...

As stated above, Official ROM's will not harm Knox. The question you should be asking is, why do you want to flash KK? Go look at the rest of the Q&A section and see just how many issues people are having with v4.4.x ROM's.And it has been MONTHS and still they have the issues.Omega ROM is traditionally a very good platform - go check the thread and see what problems they are having.
If you want to play with your phone, KK is not needed - I've been keeping an eye on what's around and I've stayed with v4.3 simply because I have root, Philz custom recovery, Lean kernel and the Alliance ROM v2 and my phone flies. It is stable, everything works including SDCard and OTG devices and with light use I get up to 4 days of battery. Even heavy use at 3 hours screen on gives me more than 2 days.
When Samsung gets its **** together and fixes KK, or maybe releases a functional version 5, I will think about upgrades, but for now I ahve the best of all worlds so why would I go changing for something lots of people are having issues with?
I'm not having issues myself, but then again as I said I rooted it and am running a custom rom. You need to look around to find the rom that works for you... I'm still using the Androidnow rom, unfortunately it was pulled and the dev has gone, for one phone and quite like the Assassin rom on another.... Yes I have 2 Note 3's... One for daily use and one for when flashing goes wrong...
Both roms are fine with little to complain about. Battery life is excellent and everything working as it should. :laugh:
Stock on the other hand may be a different story...
Oh, and its not just Samsung, google is responsible for the troubles with the sd card - they put in the new feature whereby a 3rd party app can't write to the external card unless properly signed (then only into it's own folder that will get wiped if the app is uninstalled) for "security reasons", not the unending push to get rid of sd card and use the cloud exclusively....

I9505 stock I9505XXUGNF1 knox 0x0 no wifi

Hi all!
I've been searching for the solution to my problem but it seams that it is unique. Anyone who had similar issue was on unofficial rom, didn't flash correctly, was rooted or knox warranty void.
Anyway, my I9505 ITV, after official kies update from 4.2.2 to 4.3 lost wifi. Icon goes to gray/green and back to only gray - disabled.
As kies didn't want to update it to 4.4.2 (I thought upgrade would fix the wifi issue), I downloaded and flashed the newest official 4.4.2 (at the time - I9505XXUFNB8) for it with odin. All went smooth and I got kitkat on my s4 but still no wifi. Today kies informed me about the newest 4.4.2 (I9505XXUGNF1), I flashed it, done factory reset/clear cache again but still nothing.
*#1234# gives me
AP: I9505XXUGNF1
CP: I9505XXUGNF1
CSC: I9505ITVGNF1
meaning (at least I think so), everything (and LTE) flashed correctly, right? Everything else on the phone works, just wifi can't be enabled.
I would gladly trip knox if it would fix my wifi 100%, but would like to avoid tripping it just to try 100 potential solutions because there is a small chance that I can repair the phone under warranty.
So, I have 3 questions:
1) is it possible to fix my wifi without tripping knox?
2) is it possible to fix wifi with tripping knox?
3) or is it hardware failure?
Thank you on your ideas and possible solution!

late on updates : april 2017

Hey guys;
I have an s8 that i bought used, it didn't get any updat since april 2017 ( before i had it), what could be the cause of that
And how can i upgrade to oreo without breaching knox ?
Thank you
Probably down to it being a carrier branded firmware but even then it's a long time. Where are you from if you don't mind me asking? Or it was rooted previously, does stuff like s-health work fine and what not?
If it comes to it you can flash firmware via Odin software which update phone without tripping knox
My knox status
The apps works fine, and i am actually on Orange morocco, but i dont know the origin of the phone
