Knox Status still 0x0, how to proceed ?

Hello Guys,
Let's start with the story :
Old Bootloader, Stock Kernel , PhilZ CMW and Rom XXUDMBA with Chainfire Root.
Then i've installed through CMW the Know Free XXMI1, with Adam Kernel and Modem XXMI1 and still CMW Philz.
Suddenly my phone started to get crazy. Not able to receive calls, pohone freeze , screen blinking etc... Tried with factory and wipe but stucked on S4 logo (not even the samsung one)
Installed, through Odin, the MH8 pre-rooted, Modem MH8, Stock Kernel.
Now i've the new Bootloader, Knox Status stil 0x0, New Modem and New Rom. Everything is working but i've a question.
If i would like to have back the Philz Custom Recovery, flashing with odin, the Knox status will reach 0x1 ?
And why now my device says that my status is modified. I have stock kernel, recovery, rom (just knox free).
and if i would like to update the Rom with a stock one, with knox and all the other s***t, do i need to go necessary through Odin ? because OTA are compromised.
Last question is : Is the wifi-fix mandatory ? i don't know how to know if my wifi has problem. So far seems to work perfectly.

Modified because its pre-rooted...
Flashing anything through ODIN will change the void warranty from 0x0 to 0x1 unless its a stock rom (from MH8 up otherwise you will soft brick)....
You might be able to get rid of the modified status if you flash a totally stock rom but who wants to do that?
So the next question is :
If i would like to flash a new pre-rooted or custom rom i'll void my knox anyway. Because now i have stock recovery and this mean that i can flash only through Kies to a stock Rom right ?
Flashing a custom recovery with Odin (Knox 0x1)
Flashing a stock pre-rooted rom with Odin (Knox 0x1)
Flashing a stock rom newer then mine with kies or Odin (Knox 0x0)
am i right ? so i'm stucked on this ROM in other words, unless i'll just don't care about Knox.

[Q] Help needed GT 9505 turned sSGH M919 TMob

My phone is a i9505, rooted and with latest Philz recovery. I flashed [ ROM ][AROMA][4.4] KitKat KangBang v1.0.3 [Nov, 13 2013] from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524837.
Now i have this problem: i lost root, i can't reboot in recovery mode and my phone is now turned from the international version (9505) into TMobile US version SGH M919 so i can't downgrade or upgrade anymore.
Tried to reflash Philz by odin but nothing changed: everytime i try to enter recovery mode the phone keeps booting KitKat KangBang v1.0.3 (almost perfectly working).
What have i to do? Flash original firmware by Odin, then root and mod recovery?
Is so what kind of original firmware should be used? International 9505 or TMobile M919 one?
I'm scared to brick my device and i'd like to have it back to 9505.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.
First thing you need to do is chill.
Just reflash a stock firmware true Odin. If you don't have a knox bootloader, you need to flash a non-knox stock rom. If you have a knox enabled bootloader, you flash the knox stock rom that you previously used.
And of course you need to flash a 9505 rom.

Upgrading/Downgrading the Note 3

Hi, quick question. I read that with Note 3, because all the stock ROMs are knox-enabled, I can upgrade by flashing via Odin (even if I have Knox tripped).
So this:
If you try to downgrade to KNOX-disabled system(MGA for example) your device will be flaged as KNOX Void Warranty 0×1 and will get a special lock – you won’t be able to update to any KNOX-enabled firmware even by ODIN.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
doesn't apply because there aren't knox-disabled firmwares.
What about if I downgrade using Odin? By flashing an older firmware? If I'm not on the newer bootloaders I can, right? But will Knox be tripped?
I also read that if you try to flash a non-Knox firmware onto a Knox phone you'll be bricked. I can't remember which thread/what circumstances, so hoping someone can shed some light on that.
Lastly, if I'm on unrooted stock firmware, can I use URDLV to "patch" the newest firmware, then flash it to get the rooted latest firmware WITHOUT the newer bootloader and WITHOUT tripping knox? So I can choose to downgrade should the new firmware has any problems.
Situation on trip the Knox or not: (No idea on downgrade as I never try, I think it won't under same bootloader version)
Flash any stock ROM including Kitkat officially or not with odin without rooting - won't trip knox.
Officially phone came with MJ1 or older - root with URDLV won't trip knox.
Officially phone came with MJ7 or later - root with any method will trip knox.
Officially phone came with MJ1 but later updates to MJ7 with OTA/KIES/PC Odin and later - root with any method will trip knox.
Officially at MJ1 and rooted and update to any firmware excluding KitKat ROM using Mobile Odin Pro only - root will remain and won't trip the knox.
Install any custom recovery and custom kernel will trip the knox.
Update KitKat via Mobile Odin Pro (MOP) without trip the Knox:
Your current bootloader is not newer than MJ1.
Load Official Poland ROM in MOP
Enable EverRoot, Choose option "Download mode" in after flashing. Start flashing.
After booted into Download Mode, connect your phone to your computer and run PC Odin 3.09.
Load this bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49425513&postcount=352 in the BL section
Check Phone Bootloader Update and F.Reset.time, un-check Auto Reboot and Start Flashing.
When Odin says RESET!, switch off your phone and reboot normally.

[Q] Flashed LP stock firmware and no knox?

After 2 years being on a MDM bootloader to avoid knox ,i decided to flash it, to make lolipop roms work correctly. After flashing it I booted back to download mode to flash recovery and there are no signs of a knox counter there. I even checked the system and knox was installed under apps. Running danvdh's 5.0.2 GPE rom now. any ideas what is up?
Ok, somehow, bootloader and baseband didnt stick, any idea why?

[Q] how to downgrade i9505 from lollipop to kitkat without tripping knox

For 5 month ițm looking for a method to dongrade from lollipop to kitkat. I want to know if is there any method to do that withou tripping knox (only tested methodes). PLSSS!!!
I downgraded to Kitkat. My phone was not rooted and original status. Downloaded stock kitkat rom. Factory reset the phone.
Flashed with odin. Rebooted. My phone got stuck at the Samsung Logo. I solved this by rebooting into recovery and wiping cache.
Then it booted fine. knox 0x0. Showing Samsung original Status . Knox application works also.
Which Lollipop firmware (bootloader, PDA, CSC and baseband version) did you have prior to downgrading? Which KitKat firmware did you downgrade to?
