Hello everyone
I installed last week the MJ5 with knox firmware of Germany, DBT and now I want to install MJ7 which is also knox based of United Kingdom, DBT.
My question is whether this procedure will turn the knox flag to 0x1 and void my warranty or not?
Thanks

I have an other question that I asked in another thread that doesn't get any replies so I want to ask you people here:
I installed last week the MJ5 German 4.3 stock rom (with Knox ofcourse) but when I enter Kies to see if there are any updates the Kies says that my firmware is not supported by Kies.
In the Kies the lines are:
PDA: MJ5
PHONE: MJ5
CSC: MJ5(BTU)
I understood already that BTU is the Product Code of United Kingdom but why is it there? I flashed the German stock rom so it should have been DBT there, right? I did everything by the rules.
And my question is: Will I be able to get OTA updates from Germany when they will be out (Kitkat and so on)? I don't care about Kies but will it interfere me with getting OTA updates?
Thanks
Anyone?

Any tampering using Odin will give you a 0x1 flag. Even when updating to the latest official KNOX-enabled firmware.

Hi,
My country recd update to 4.3 almost 2 days ago, i m trying to update but cant updte thru OTA , it says max no. of rollouts have exceeded something so u cant upgrade, when i try through kies, it download firmware then force closes,
Is there any other way of upgrading?
I recently came across manual update, using odin,
If i download firmware from samfirmware.com and then install it through odin/stock recovery,
will it void my warranty?
I want to keep it under warranty for another month or so ...
Help Me.!

Hi thanks for reply
Can u also tell me i flashed 4.3 of russian country .. it came with some games which were uninstallable,can there be any chance that the rom is fake? It says 4.3 version in settings
Also if i go to samsung care centre to have indian firmware installed,will it cause any trouble?
Hmm.. fake rom? None that I knew..
I think it's better to get yr country's last firmware. So that samsung will not ask this and that...

if u download yr latest firmware from Sammobile and flash it with odin, it will not void yr warranty because this is a stock firmware. Samsung has already know that the latest update has been released. So, knox is 0x0. (if u keep it unrooted for a month or so...)
But if you rooted yr latest stock firmware, then the knox will be triggered 0x1. and warranty will be void.
just a note: flashing anything after "XXUD" firmware will trip a flag.
I hope u get a clearer picture.

i was at MJ3 rooted with de la vega
knox was 0x0 and system official using wanam xposed
and did OTA with super su pro survivel mode
knox was 0x0 but system changed to custom . wanam xposed didn't worked for me at MJ3
now even i did full unroot with super su
system stay on custom
there is any way to get official again ? even by downgrage , without tripping the knox ?
thanks...
just download a stock ROM, and flash it with Odin
it's as simple as that.

just update
after factory reset knox still 0x0
and system status still custom
any suggestion?
one more update
i flashed stock rom with odin (MJ3)
after that knox still on 0x0
but system still custom
don't know what to do next
any help please ?
UPDATE
after a third restart
system back to official
Using ODIN even with official firmware still sets my N3 to 'custom' status and OTA fails.
Kies Beta 3 - Emergency Firmware Recovery fixed it for me. I am now stock MJ6 (BTU)
hi guys I just want to ask a noob question..
I'm rooted by cf and knox trigger 0x1 if I flash official firmware like MJ3 will my knox return back to 0x0 and become official ..
Thanks!
Currently there is no way to revert Knox trigger back to 0x0.
I was one of the impatient ones and flashed the stock Polish 4.4.2 onto my N9005 and rooted with CWM. Everything has been fine but now I wish to flash my regions stock rom BTU unbranded. However every time I do so via Odin 3.09 I am presented with the Polish welcome screen and when you look in the settings it's still the XEO firmware. Even the System Status and Current Binary shows up as Custom still?
It's known problem, u need to flash first single csc firmware e.g Singapore & than BTU multi csc.

Thats great thanks. This was the missing link I needed :good: I shall also assume that the Custom/Modified status will always remain due to KNOX being tripped to 0x1

U can make it official(FAKE) to receive OTA but knox counter will remain 0x1
P.S. After&Before flash rom from singapore than UK u need to clear data & catch which flashes your Internal meomery.

Im aware of the Xposed method but that has to be rooted. If there is no other way I shall just go back to being rooted I guess
Hi,
I have two questions - hope someone can assist:
1.Do you know a customized ROM with working KNOX?
2. If I will flash Samsung's original ROM, will I have a working KNOX? What about the flag?
Thanks.

I believe you can still use knox even if the flag is 0x1. What just that means is that the container is not as secure and companies who allow BYOD will not certify it for use in their company. Most custom rom I've come across doesn't have knox.
Thanks.
So - flashing Samsung ROM with ODIN will flag 0x1?

Not really unless knox is already 0x1.
The phone is unrooted.
Sorry for asking again - if I understood well, flashing my unrooted phone with Samsung ROM will leave the phone with warranty (cleared flag)?
Thanks again.

Doesn't your phone already have Samsung rom or you are trying to update to 4.4.2?
I updated to 4.4.2 (OTA) but have a lot of problems so I want to go back to 4,3.

I'm afraid it's not possible to downgrade to 4.3 once you upgrade to 4.4.2 ( for now ). Only the N900W8 can go back and forth between 4.3 and 4.4.2.
Ohhh. Very bad.
Any case - thank you for your assistance.
