What will happen if i flash a device which has Russia's(or Other Countries) 4.3 ROM , with India's 4.3 ROM? Will it set the KNOX warranty Bit flag.
I bought my phone in India. After i started using Omega ROM which has MG9 modem, i was never able to switch back to Indian Stock 4.2.2 which had MG5 modem, as in MG5 modem i was getting a generic IMEI and the network was not working. So i settled for using the KSA 4.2.2 ROM which has MG9 modem, hoping someday India ROM will get MG9 or higher. My device still shows the Official Status in the Download Mode.
My big problem now i how do i get back to Indian Firmware without voiding the Know warranty. Can i wait for 4.3 to release in KSA and then flash back India's 4.3 so that i dont face the IMEI problem with the ROM's? If i do this will it void the Knox warranty?
Or flash the MG5 ROM of India and get the official 4.3 India update? will this solve my IMEI issue?
I also heard that there is a binary counter for the number of times a Custom ROM is flashed. If we upgrade to 4.3 with non-zero binary counter will the KNOX warranty void flag?

Incase u hvnt installed 4.3 yet -
Oky, heres what u do: revert back to stock 4.2.2 android, then go to software update, (it will b good if u use triange away and remove the no.) and u shud receive update for indian firmware, since bootloader is installed later u wont loose ur warranty(when u will install it for first time the warranty bit says 0 ..)
I installed 4.3 russian fw by mistake and since my warranty bit was 0 samsung installed indian firmware on my phone(had to fight a lil tho ..)
Dnt do anything after flashing 4.3 for first time, since whatever u do will trip a flag, thus voiding the warranty ... i had isssues getting my phone fixed even at warranty bit 0 ..
Hope that helped ...
First reverted back to India MG5 4.2.2 ROM and then did 4.3 update through kies and everything went fine.
Now my fake imei problem is gone and I am back under warranty

Hi,
You said that you used OMEGA rom. It means you rooted your phone and installed CWM recovery. Now you installed I9500XWUBMG5 4.2.2 stock rom and updated to stock 4.3 via KIES or OTA. My question is now your KNOX warranty is 0x0 or 0x1.
Could you please confirm I want root my phone.
Thanks.
What will happen if i install russian 5.1.1 to my indian galaxy note 3 neo
hello guys any one here i had flash indian firmware were few days ago bt now i want to back to nepal firmware ...my device is j7 2016 model plz help me to go back to nepal firmware again
@rohit gurung: The forums for your device are here. To install the Nepal firmware you need to download it from a site like Sammobile and flash it to the device just like you flashed the Indian firmware.
Hello .. sorry for my English.
I have GT-i9500 which i updated to official 4.3 Russian firmware ( KNOX enabled) . As i live in Pakistan, the official firmware (4.3) for Pakistan is available now. My question is can i update my Russian firmware to Pakistan firmware through ODIN with out triggering the knox counter or bricking my phone? Thanks in advance
Hi
You can upgrade from one Knox enabled firmware to another but cannot downgrade as it will trigger the Knox flag.
I, personally, moved from the German stock MJ5 to the British stock MJ7 and the flag wasn't triggered.
Good luck.
I can't update to 4.4.2 my i9505 ...
For some reason , Kies cant update , etc . The question is : will manually update to a stock 4.4.2 void the warranty?
Thx!

Some say i will others say it dont .
Mine is flagt when doing that .
so i think it will flag knox
So, I recently bought a S4 i9506 Black Edition which is on 4.3. Is there official upgrade to 4.4.2. I tried to update through Kies and OTA but it says I have the latest version.Also if I flash it through Odin, do I need root, will it destroy my warranty. The divice has SIN(Singapore) tag.

No, if you just flash the rom without rooting and installing cwm the warranty (knox flag 0x0 will still be 0.
You can download some official 4.4.2 roms for the i9506 at sammobile or samdownloads.
I have s5 sm-g900f with knox status 0x1. Today i received OTA update notification but i couldnt update due the knox status (I get a message saying your mobile is modified ) so i headed to sammobile to download the marshmallow ROM that supposedly just released but i couldnt find the ROM for egypt there was just for Sri Lanka so can i just flash that or would it be a problem.
You can flash it.
