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 ...

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.
So my friend asked me revert his S4 GT-I9505 to stock 4.4.2 because he cant upgrade because of root.
He didnt tell me from where he got phone.
I found this
AP:I9505XXUEMJ7
CP: I9505XXUEMJ7
CSC:I9505MOTEMJ8
I cant find any firmware on SamMobile for that
If i cant find correct firmware to revert via Odin can i use some carrier version?
Thanks
- All firmwares are HERE.
- Direct url for android 4.4.2: HERE
*EDIT: Dont try to flash again android 4.2.2 coz ur friend had MJ7 (android 4.3). You can't downgrade. Flash android 4.3 again or android 4.4.2 simply. Good luck.
Thanks man!

no you can't
firmwares differ from country to country.
radio and modem firmware is different.
BTW if you are rooted delete/uninstall all the bloatware from your device simple.
I am currently on a custom rom though would like to go to full stock version of note 3 with lollipop. I live in the UK and back when I was on KitKat I was on CSC: BTU and I would like to go back to that but there is no firmware from that region for lollipop. There are others such as VOD which is vodafone and is alos for the UK. So how would I go back to Stock Lollipop which will work with Kies and will be useable for UK?
BT: NL8
Baseband: NL8
I've tried to change them but they never flash in odin. So any help please?
This needs Odin though... Easiest method....
I am using the Poland Official Lollipop ROM...
