I'm running stock 4.3 on the i9505 unlocked,
Knox is 0.1, so my wifi stops working if I switch the phone off or battery runs out,
Currently using the app "autostart no root" to block Knox at startup,
Wanted to know if there is any solution to fix the wifi issue without using the app,
Tried different modem and wifi fixes that went with them but non worked for me if I switch off and on,
restarts sometimes worked but other times didn't...

1. untick "Auto reboot" in odin
2. flash the stock rom again
3. reboot your phone to download mode again (by holding the power and vol down button for 10 sec)
4. flash the stock rom a second time with auto reboot ticked
This will fix your problem.

I have the same problem. I flashed a new Stock 4.3 today, and when the phone boots up I can not turn wifi on. I get a message about security and the process being blocked.
Tried to flash two time like above, but it will not work. How can I enable wifi again without installing av cusom rom?

Sorry no real fix,
You can root and block Knox completely this will give you wifi,
As I wanted it stock I drop it into a service center who have forwarded it to samsung now,
So long wait

Same here.. & did you flash a stock (unrooted) rom first before handing back to service center.. I thought if it was discovered to be 'rooted' they won't fix it as it voids the warrenty or something

Auto start app from the playstore works but some times doesn't,
Best way is too root and use titanium backup and freeze all Knox entries

but for 'freezing' you need the paid for version & without Wifi how am I suppose to get it off play store anyway. It cost's too much using GPRS on PAYG to download.
Would renaming the files (whatever they are called) & rebooting do something similar ??

If you do a rest does the wifi work on initial setup,
I have a unlocked phone and the German O2 rom would work with wifi,
But after a switch on and off wifi went

I assume you mean a hard reset ??
Didn't try at the time & I've ONLY just managed to get (most of) my apps restored - don't fancy resetting again to find out
I've sent email to Samsung support to see what they come up with..(They MUST know there's a problem with the firmware & they may come up with something)
If not, I might try flashing the ROM again through Odin (as mentioned in a post somewhere - apparently doing it a couple of times MIGHT fix it) - if not I MAY attempt a full Unroot

I faced this problem, when I updated my Knox 0x1 device with Kies (+ CF Autoroot and Triangle Away). After this, I was not able to turn wifi on. My solution was simple, I flashed my device with Odin, CF Autorooted and Triangle Away again, and no problems anymore. Wifi is working and everything else too.

My problem is that I am unable to even TURN IT ON. When I attempt - I get a silver shield pop up, & a 'Security notice' stating - 'your device's security has blocked an action that is not permitted. No further action is required' - App info tells me it 'Knox notification manager'
I've been emailing them..telling them KNOX is preventing me from turning on my WiFi - so far all they suggested is downloading KNOX, then Install & uninstall to fix this notification - but how can I if I don't have WiFi ?? - GPRS on PAYG is WAY too expensive Don't these people think ?!?!
Anyway just recently found out about this Knox 0x1 business & where to find it..(for the other newbies It's on the 'Download ' screen (Volume Down + Power + Home))
But I'm confused... On my phone there are 2 KNOX references
- Am I right in assuming you are referring to the 'KNOX Warrenty Void' being 0x1 & not the 'KNOX Kernel Lock' ??
Also (being a total Noob) I assume you download a suitable 4.3 STOCK rom (say for e.g. sammobiles) to use
Me - having a UK brand free Unlocked phone is currently downloading 'I9505XXUEMK8_I9505BTUEMK5_BTU.zip' from there based on this info I managed to find (Am I downloading the correct one ?? can some1 confirm this please - thanks ??)

& used this Unroot/Unbrick guide to revert back to a 'stock' rom (do you know if KNOX Warrenty changed from 0x1 to 0x0 when you did this ??)
Did your Wifi turn on ok after this ?? or only after you redid CFAutoRoot &/or Triangle away
I'm not to fussed 'going back to stock' JUST in case Samsung suggests I take my phone to one of their Service departments...I just want to get my WiFi to turn on
EDIT: FYI - I took the plunge & reflashed with the rom I mentioned above.. it didn't wipe my phone But the WiFi now works - I can turn it on and off.
I 'CFAutoRooted' & 'Triangle away' but NOT done any actual rooting (i.e host file editing etc) - so now I have a rooted phone...
Only thing is - If I try 'About device' > Software Update' > 'Update' to check - I get the usual 'This has been modified - no update available blah blah blah' message. I guess it's because of the 'About device' > 'Status'> 'Device Status' shows 'Custom'
Is this because my KNOX may still be '0x1' ??

Yes, it's because your Knox is 0x1. And AFAIK, there is no solution yet, to turn it back to 0x0. And I'm glad to hear, that you have your wifi back

Shame really - AFAIK as long as I have 'custom' (&/or Knox at 0x1) this mean Samsung can refuse the Warranty if I have to send it back at any time (which I hope will never happen :fingers-crossed

How did you flash the firmware ?
Was it through OTA, Keis or Odin ??
I had same problem when updating my firmware via Keis v2.6 (see my post above [First & Last paragraphs] or my original post for a more in-depth explanation)
I managed to fix it myself by re-flashing a STOCK rom (got from 'sammobile' - using Odin) OVER the existing firmware (i.e I didn't hard reset it first - when it finished the phone wasn't wiped either) but the WiFi could now be turned on/off...I then 'CFAutoroot' & 'Triangle away' afterwards - checking each stage to make sure WiFi could still turn on/off
So far 'tripp' & myself have had success in fixing the 'Unable to turn on WiFi' using this method.

Hi,
After flashing the MJ6 ROM with the Universal root de la vega method (I have the old bootloader from MJ1) and flash the MJ4 modem, the camera and and wifi were not working, I tried to downgrade the modem to MJ2 with Odin to give a try.
However now I'm facing several boot loops (on first notification model screen) and when the Note succeed in corectly booting, I have an FC from system process, and some others applications.
I tried to check the phone parameters and saw that baseband was "unknown", but didn't succeed to see the screen where the IMEI is displayed because the phone is rebooting automaticaly when I try to access to this screen.
The phone is very instable : sometimes I'm not able to access to parameters with the tactil button.
In all cases the phone is auto rebooting after several minutes.
I tried several things withoot result :
- Wipe cache + factory reset
- Flash several modems
- Flash MI7 stock ROM with Odin
> no change
Actually I have :
- baseband unknown
- boot looping
- no wifi
- no sound
- no root
- acces to download mode and stock recovery is OK.
As someone have some cloues to help me?

I'm pretty sure your Knox warranty void has been tripped... Flash the MJ6 stock firmware. You have the new bootloader now anyway, that's why you are in the bootloop.. I had the same problem and when I checked and found warranty void triggered I figured can't hurt.
Flashed stock MJ6 firmware. Baseband comes back, all thos little things not working get fixed. I then flashed CF-root as the warranty void was 0x1...
It seems if you flash the Modem.bin file you are stuck, you need to flash the MJ6 firmware to fix....

I had the same pb ..... and flash MJ6 full and now it's OK .... so I rooted ... Knox 1 ....but everything OK I am happy
Ok, but normaly I always have the old bootloader because I do not have flash the MJ6 stock > It has been modified with universal root de la vega before flashing with Odin, and my flag is still on 0x0.
> So normaly the MJ6 I flashed should not contain the new bootloader.
It will be troublesome for me if flashing a stock MJ6 is needeed as I do not want to trigger the Knox flag.
I always have the solution to return my Note to my seller for refund, so I'm seeking for a way which do not trigger Knox

You have to be sure that you do not have take update from OTA or official stock ROM when you was on ROM before MJ3 (if you take stock MJ3 bootloader is altered)

SM-N900W8 Boot Loop
Has anyone else resolved this issue. Phone was rooted with "CF-Auto-Root-hltecan-hlteub-smn900w8" and used TWRP 2.6.3.0. Upon doing a restore with TWRP, the phone is now in this crazy loop. Phone boots but always fails prior to seeing home screen. Tried going to SamMobile and restoring original Rogers firmware with no resolution.
Any help is most appreciated.

If you flashed the stock MJ6 then you have the new anti-root bootloader. ANY attempt to root will end in Warranty void being triggered...
Unfortunately this is a problem that hasn't been fixed yet. Just a heads up to let you know you will probably trigger the warranty void.
Then again Designgears is back developing RDLV again so it might be updated soon... :fingers-crossed:

thanks again for usual insight.
unfortunately, the bootloop problem was back after a restart yesterday. took several loops (about 30 mins) before it started up. i had to reflash with the latest stock N9005XXUDMJ7_N9005OJVDMJ4_KSA. now im scared to restart the phone for any reason, since i cant tell if it will entre bootloop again - it gets worse with every reset.
Since the knox already tripped 0x1, i still desire to root it ASAP.
So,
1. how do i get rid of this bootloop menace, PERMANENTLY
2. how do i safely root the phone (SM-N9005)
will appreciate a lot of help.

As Knox is tripped use cf-autoroot found in the original android developement section of the Note 3 forum. This will give you root...
I would also try a different region rom, I used MJ7 from the UK. It didn't cause any issues.
I had bootloops and found going to wifi, clicking on menu button, advanced.& unticking "Scanning always available" seemed to fix my bootloops but this was for my MJ1 firmware.
Otherwise can't really help anymore tonight. Gotta go to work tomorrow and its 2am here in Oz....

Hi,
Unfortunately for you no, I made a swap with a brandnew one with the seller.
I just recently bought this phone off someone dont know what they did with it. phone has good imei. But when i make a call the phone seem to freeze or when i get incoming calling the phone freeze. Also the wifi wont let me toggle on. Cant seem to figure out what the problem is. If someone got a solution please do share.
1. Take a look what android firmware is using (Settings - General - About phone)
2. Go to DOWNLOAD MODE (Power off ur phone + Volume down. Volume up then. - Take a look how is the KNOX)
3. Install Kies (if ur phone use android 4.2.2) or Kies 3 (android 4.3 or superior) and take a look if all is ok ( Important see what CSC u use). Only making a factory reset solve the problems sometimes(Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything). If this dont solve ur problems, follow the next step
4. Your seller installed one custom rom maybe. If all is ok in the step 3, you can update ur phone by there officially. If no, you will have to use ODIN and flash new stock rom.

Got an S4 i9505 and I believe it was running 4.2.2. I rooted it with CF Auto Root and everything was fine,
A few days ago, little one messed around and accidently managed to install 4.3 update. Now wifi cannot be enabled giving an error that "your device security has blocked an action that is not permitted"
Clicked on SuperSU and it said that knox has been found and some applications may not work,,,,,decided to disable it and disabling it was successful.
Even now when I try to turn the wifi on, it doesnt work but dont get the above message anymore.
Any help would be appreciated as it's driving me mad.

My first option would be to try the so call wifi fix, read here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025
select the same wifi fix as the modem you have installed in your phone ( read first , ask there if there is any doubts)
Second option would be to flash stock rom again and root .
Hi to all.
I have some issues with my S4 and want to have it treated on warranty, but the major issue is the USB connector NOT working.
It is charging somehow, but disconnecting and connecting all the time.
Another issues I have are the switching between Edge and HSPDA+, which is mostly not working, I have to switch it manually to H+ or GSM.
Also my screen is blinking, so I will send it back and never want to se that again.
But the problem is, that the original rom I had was Polish (it is unofficial distribution in my country) and I flashed it a few times, rooted, tried several ROMs but reverted back to original. Now there is German Rom installed - the official one, no Root or recowery, but I think the internal counter (Knox or how is called) is set up.
Is there any way to put it to the original shape with only access through SD card? Or do you think, will the service look for that counter?
Thanks for your replies.

The problem is, this counter is just for the services and seller... if Knox is 0x1 they wont repair it without costs. But you can try it anyway
How to check the knox?

Shut down your phone. Press Power + Volume Down until the screen turns on. Than there is a Warning, ignore it and go ahead. There will be the Knox and everything
Thanks, I forgotten about that.
Yes, there is Know Warranty void: 0x1
Current banary: Samsung Official, System status: Official

If I help you, I would appreciate if you click thanks
So maybe your seller wont repair your phone...I would make a full wipe in your case and see if the problems still exist.
Another thought, maybe the download mode connection to computer is working.

Try it, if yes, go to recovery and wipe all your user data, clicking clean to install a new rom (In philz touch recovery) and than flash the latest software from sammobile, searching your provider
than flash it in Odin3.09, select AP and than choose the downloaded rom (it must be a tar.md5 file.)
Yeah, but now I read there is no way to set the knox trigger back, anyway....

No, there is no way. Most of people say it's en eFuse chip and when you flash any custom thing, this chip will be destroyed and it will be destroyed for ever.
I rooted my S5 model SM G900T using Oden3 v 3.07 plus CF-Auto-Root-kltetmo-kltetmo-smg900t.tar.md5 send donation to chainfire. This was four days ago. All was better than fine until yesterday afternoon, then I tried to connect to a local hot spot. The phone said strong signal but could not connect.
Last thing I did was to run Pry-Fi didn't really understand the app so shut it down or I think I did, then after returning home I noticed while trying to connect to Google play store it said no network available.
Under settings WiFi the on off toggle is grayed out, it will flash green briefly when I go into advanced but it will not turn on.
Under App info WiFi Direct v everything is grayed out data is Zero and no cache is Zero
WiFi Direct Share is OK
I have a full Titanium Backup in Drop Box if that helps.
On the phone its Mobile ODIN Pro v 4.20 showing Kernel none Recovery none and on and on. Would like to have a nice ROM installed, but not there yet.
So I also think I didn't install something right
IMEI is present in software
I do have root that was my goal, but never to lose WiFi Oooh Mii God
What the heck is KNOX? Maybe its my router gosh

After flashing CF auto root, you tripped the knox fuse. That will give you a 0x1 status. This is only an issue if you need warranty, some say it voids it, others say not always. But once it's tripped it can't be undone. (and will have NO effect on Wi-Fi)
Are you on a stock original rom or a custom rom, did you uninstall pry-fi, and what else did you install.
SM-G900W8, 0x1
Pry-fi is broken. I had similar issues after using it. Check my reply & fix in the pry-fi thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55449565&postcount=405
Pri Fy or not

I don't think I installed anything but Pri Fy after rooting was assured then the app No-frills CPU Control,. I did not install a custom ROM. If it were the flash to auto root I would think I would have lost the wifi at that point not two days latter, I don't really know what Knox is but by having the stock software and resetting the phone to factory default I am sure I have not lost warranty as I have not damaged the phone. WiFi direct has no Cache or data
So I have to think maybe its related to Pri Fy
Thanks for the reply, I am late for work and would like to troubleshoot Pri Fy now and what it really does in relation to the other programs. As bkraptor in his post Pri Fy is broken so there seems to be issues with it. How ever his solution is in an area I have not venture yet.
Thanks again
this should give you tons of info on knox, but once tripped you can't untrip, you go from 0x0 to 0x1 permanently.

Thanks for the info about KNOX, voiding the warranty is not a primary concern. My primary concern is WIFI because I use it as my primary way I use the phone at home. It leaves my phone almost useless. I followed the link about Pri Fi but I never saw a solution for the S5 is there a clear work around. Should I use the warranty that I am paying for with the carrier and pay the deductible for a new phone. Wow I wish I could turn back the hands of time now, or have bought a different phone.
I really need a working phone with wifi, I can't lose it totally LOL.
Thanks,

Did you happen to make a back up of your rom before you installed pri-fy, if so you could wipe and install that, or you could download a custom Rom and try that. At worst you can down load a stock version of your rom and install with Odin and it will be fixed.

No I didn't make a back up before Pri Fi, I still have the stock ROM in the phone. Titanium didn't make a back up as I had thought or it put it somewhere other then where I supposed it to be. The phone is more wacked more then I thought I get line drops like crazy but maybe it was using wifi more then I thought. Thanks for helping me, where can I find a good stable ROM for this S5 now that I am in so deep might as well go all the way. I have insurance on the phone if I lost it and I almost lost it today, looked and looked for that thing. I have rooted several phones without issue, but one did brick but Samsung sent me a new one no problem, yet I have never tried to install a custom Rom.

Titanium b/u only backs up your apps not your whole rom.
If your on a 900t,i would check this thread out, it is stock and needs odin but should be close to what you have now. (you would want the full tar version, not just the modem and bootloader)
Stock, odin flashable

If you have a t-mobile this is a great custom rom, You need a custom recovery like twrp or CWM as well for this option.
I like this recovery

Always make sure this is you phone model (900t), so that you don't follow bad advise.
