Hey guys,
I have android 4.2.2 with knox bootloader on my gt-i9505. I want to upgrade it to android 4.3 but with a different csc. Is it possible to do so without triggering the knox warranty bit? I suppose it should be, as it is a newer bootloader, but the guys from sammy said, that branded firmwares have different bootloaders... Any ideas?
now I have TMH based rom, with MH7 pda and I want the XEH csc based firmware, which is MJ7
It works!
Hey all
Just flashed the firmware. Well, it's not branded anymore and moreover, it is still 0x0 Also, i have a new line in odin mode: eMMC burst mode: enable...

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?

Suggest me how can i get rid of samsung knox, my warranty bit has also changed from 0 to 1, that means its void too.. HELP ASAP
You cannot get rid of KNOX.
Once the knox bootloader has been flashed, you cannot downgrade the bootloader.
Once the KNOX flag has been triggered it cannot be reset.
Hi everybody,
I have the note 3 n900w8, Canada version and I still on modem / bootloader from kitkat.
I want to keep my Knox 0x0 for the warranty but now with all the Roms on lollipop, I have some issues caused but the old kitkat bootloader and modem.
So I'm wondering now is it possible to flash only the lollipop modem and not the bootloader to keep Knox 0x0 and install custom roms?
Second question, where can I find the modem / bootloader for n900w8 for bell mobility to flash them with Odin?
The modem for the Canadian note 3 is the same for Bell, Telus, and Rogers.
I do not recommend flashing a newer modem on an older bootloader because you may find that your imei is null or you won't be able to connect to your carrier's network.
If the note 3 is like the s3, incompatible bootloader/modem combinations can brick the phone.
I have no warranty left on my s3 or note 3 so tripping knox is no biggie for me.
Thanks a lot!
It appears that I have tripped knox trying different modems. My baseband is now stuck and I am unable to update it even with ODIN and original firmware. It will not overwrite the baseband version. Is this normal behavior? I have an N900W8.
Did you try flashing a complete a stock ROM from sammobile.com in Odin?
Personally, tripping knox has never been a problem with any Samsung phone I have owned and used.
Good day.
For several years i always had already rooted android phones.
My question here is, Recently i have bought an non knox tripped unlocked S8 that came with Hungary CSC.
If i Odin flash TPH firwmware, will it trip knox?
Thank you.
knox trips when unlocking bootloader. by installing official firmware, you dont unlock your bootloader
