Hi,
I'm thinking about flashing a custom rom, I'm currently on stock 4.3.
I know what KNOX is, but one thing is still unclear to me -
What exactly does this KNOX void thing prevent me from doing besides that so called Samsung warranty?
Is there any functional loss (besides Samsung wallet and so on) ?
Will there be any other anomalies in my phone?
Thanks in advance.
Matan.

Thanks for the info.
Anything else other than Samsung KNOX apps which are unused?
Also, is it possible to install the Google Play Edition on a KNOX enabled bootloader?
I believe you will also lose functions like hdmi out and that samsung apps that work with tv's etc.
And in most countries you won't lose warranty. It really depends from what country you are from.

Hello mates, I have a question.
Which of you are in the latest bootloader?
I want to upgrade, usually with new bootloader there are some enhancements but reading about that KNOX thing that Samsung added to the bootloader. Also I think that that's just for warranty (I void mine at the first minute jajaja), I've never used TouchWiz and I read that the you can't revert the bootloader, as usual, so I want to be sure that I will be able to keep flashing things and use Odin as well, since the counter can't be reset.
I've got the new bootloader and flash a lot.
I'm currently running PAC ROM and KT Kernel with no issues at all
If you have new bootloader it does void warranty forever if KNOX WARRANTY VOID 0X1.
You can't downgrade firmware in Odin but you can upgrade

In any case if we want to upgrade to TW 4.3 next October I suspect all of us must use the new bootloader...

That's what I was thinking, besides since the KNOX feature is just for warranty purposes and I been using an AOSP ROM since the first minute.
But, are we going to be able to use Odin without any problems?

This is what I'm not so sure about, everyone is saying different things!
Some say once you trigger the KNOX flag then you can't use Odin at all. Some say you can but only to upgrade firmware, not downgrade. Some say you can but can never use stock kernel again as it checks the KNOX flag and won't boot phone if it's 0x1.
I think before you take the plunge, do some reading and research to be on the safe side

Hi?
i have the the Knox bootloader with knox waranty void 0x0 and im rooted with kingo.
Is there a way to install cwm zip files without a custom recovery and without raising knox to 0x1?

Hi,
No.
Yes, there is a way.
When you download using Odin, un select restart. On getting pass from Odin, remove battery and re insert. Get it to flash mode. This will install cwm. Job done. Rest as per other threads. Hope this helps.

If you have i9505, you can try mobile odin. Not yet sure if it does increase bit.

Mobile odin is not a custom recovery. It is just an apk from Google play...

Yes, last versions flash zip files, but you need to be installed a custom recovery, which could be flashed with mobile odin, maybe (not sure) increasing the Knox bit (because the recovery flashing, but because zip flashings)...

Ok, so the only problem with flashing different kernels and recoveries and whatnot with the newest samsung update is that knox will be set to 0x1? (For the 9505)
I've been reading some threads but haven't been able to find a definite answer on whether the bootloader is actually completely locked like in the latest S4 AT&T updates, where you can't install custom kernels or recoveries, or that you can actually flash anything and the only harm is the 0x1 on knox, which i don't care.
Are things flashable with the knox bootloader on the 9505 international/sim unlocked version of the s4?

Not for nothing but i am amazed by how this post was not replied to. Forgive me senior members with the device if I am being mislead but this question has been answered somewhere? I just googled a question similar for another device.
Like mortal combat "toasty!"
Dear all,
Noobie question here.
Ive installed Neatrom v1 from stock and have successfully made it through without tripping Knox.
Question: Can i freely install all the other kernels now via Mobile Odin/Cwm recovery without tripping it? Since it's indicated that Knox has been completely removed.
Thanks!
Knox is still there in the bootloader, so you will trip it.

Thanks! Question is, how come it wasn't tripped when i installed Neatrom via Mobile Odin?

Knox enforces specific parameters. It increments when a critical component is missing an OEM signature e.g. kernel, recovery.
.
Meaning to say, if i install a rom/kernel via mobile odin, it won't trip?

Meaning just the opposite. When your phone boots and it finds a foreign kernel or recovery, regardless of how you got it there, Knox will increment.

Hi,
I would like to root my S7 edge but would like to know if the warranty issue is reversible.
meaning, If I flash stock rom, will it be OK in terms of warranty?
Tnx

Short answer - NO.
But..
Ask your local Samsung store. Some countries allow Knox tripped devices.

As far as I know, knox will remain tripped and your warranty void

Hello,
I have a rooted Samsung S10+. I wanted to know if I can do a factory reset without risk to the device and if so, if I would lose the root.
To be more specific, I want to do the factory reset programmatically using DevicePolicyManager.
Thank you very much.
U can reset with the factory rom but it will never been like brand new couse the knox its broker even in a hard reset...and
