i updated with Kies3 from 4.3(sweden) to the new release of 4.3(sweden) that was suppose to fix some bugs etc.. but during the update i noticed that the knox was triggered ? how is that possible ?
since its triggered now, do i have to care about it anymore ? i dont need warranty since i repair myself but the updates will still come or not ?
Hmm, i didnt root or anything just because of not triggering it but now i got nothing to loose :S or should i report it to samsung/my provider ?
Q1: how did this happen ?
Q2: can i still update thrue knox when 4.4 release ?
Q3: does this mean i can root again without loosing anything ?

OK, so you have not rooted the phone before, but after the official update via Kies you have the Knox screwed up.
Well, the explanation is simple: Peter Pan had some... intense relationship with the dusty Fairy and this is the result.
hi,
my i9500 is KNOX 0x0 and i'm updating my official firmware on weekly-bases every time a new official firmware arrives.
i hope it answered your question.
Dont try to make me look dumb.. dig into it or simply dont answer.
DrBlaze. i9505 xda-premium app.
One more thing.. i got the first 4.3 release without knox triggered.. and i also got the wrong update. I got a branded update from Telenor, and i dont have telenor nor a branded phone..
EDIT: The update was mj7 to mk8, if im confusing u guys with 4.3 to 4.3 talk

The same thing happened to me after updating my Note 3 via Kies, the Knox Warranty Void is 0x1 now.

So this "official" update is triggering Knox for some people. I have emailed Samsung in regards to this but they want me to call to talk to someone in their Voice department. Wish there was some way to contact a manager or VP to inform them.

No it will not kill your phone.
That part of knox is an app for security like any other app.
The knox warranty is only visible in download mode.
Some are reporting that there is no Knox flag on the 900 version. Basically the exynos version.
Also if it's a system app from Samsung you cannot delete unless you have root. You can only hide it and uninstall the updates to those apps!

You can root without harming the phone easily but you could void warranty. I am not sure that not having a visible knox counter in N900 means there isn't a hidden one.

Are you sure you have Knox? Check in download mode for any reference to Knox first.....If you do there will be a KNOX WARRANTY VOID:0x0 reference
AFAIK there is no way of rooting without tripping the Knox counter.
If you still wish to root check here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292615
Rooting has nothing to do with the baseband but your phone model does

I am not all that familiar with the i9500.....But it does not appear that you have a knox enabled bootloader. I am not sure what it would look like on the i9500.
Have you rooted your phone yet?
Attention friends!
My friend @paulove have just flashed the new XXUEMK4 from here:
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/11/17...-3-test-firmware-for-galaxy-note-ii-gt-n7100/
His bootloader was updated to MK4 but with a little "gift" from samsung:
Knox Void Warranty 0
When he tried to flash recovery and it changed to Knox Void Warranty 1

Please everyone, read this to understand everything you need about Knox Void Warranty 1/0:
http://omegadroid.co/wanted-knox-void-warranty-0x1/
DO NOT FLASH THE NEW BOOTLOADER - Unless you know what you are doing!
MJ5 Bootloader is safe to downgrade and the wifi works on this bootloader.
XXUEMK4 Bootloader is not safe!!
My friend says that he can not downgrade, because after he tried he got "Kies Emergency Mode" and his odin failed.
After he installed MK4 back everything worked again.
DO NOT TRY TO DOWNGRADE IF YOU HAVE THE NEW BOOTLOADER!

first, good thing that there is 2 stable leaks without this flag.I guess we should all stick to MJ5 for a while.
But now i'm thinking what should my nest device be? I loved Samsung devices, because they are so easy to root,flash roms and still you can save the warranty.Now my blacklist contains, HTC, Sony, Motorola and Samsung.Do Asus and LG lock their bootloader too?
And there is some bad news from Google itself. seems they came up with methods to help OEM for preventing unlocking bootloader in 4.4 KitKat.

Is there a way I can downgrade this bootloader?
the way they took time to slowly yet steadily introduce the Note 2 forums to the full force of the Knox poison you would believe how much control they already have over these forums.
it can only be LOVE, true love ;p
May their conscience trouble them over this; if they have one, that is.
My note ii is owned by me, bought it and not on contract. Flag is now 1. Still runs fine, and I don't need knox stuff on the phone.
Guys i am new to samsung and buying a refurbished S4 9500 india version with 6 months warranty from samsung with 4.2.2 firmware on it for Rs 20,000 actual price is now for new device is Rs 28,000
so i wanted to know that is it safe to upgrade and root it to 4.3 without having knox bootloader ?? ( dont want 4.4.2 because some people said it cant write to memory card + we cant downgrade then)
i dont want to get into knox thing and dont want to void the warranty also. so to avoid knox should i do this ?
1. Root 4.2.2 + install custom recovery ( dont know how to do that because its old firmware and all i can find info is about new firmwares)
2. flash 4.3 knox free stock rom ( i want only stock rom no custom rom because stock rom offers better camera features and shutter speed etc. etc.)
3. if i dont root or install custom recovery in 4.2.2 and simply flash via odin 4.3 stock firmware 2013 December 4.3 I9500XXUEMK9 will it contain knox ???
the main thing i want is to have 4.3 stock firmware with Root + custom recovery But no knox
is this the only things i need to do ?
do i need to keep in mind something else also ?
i am from nexus 4 so u guys must be knowing how we are addicted to flashing roms and kernels everyday but its not at all complicated like this

its surprising that the device is still on 4.2.2
I will prefer checking binary counter and knox status first,it may happen that its already tripped..
if its normal,then check for a Knox free rom then flash it,u can root it later.
also,it will be better if u go to Samsung and get it checked,whether its still in warranty or not(just ask.them for a software upgrade,and when they say all okay,give any excuse and leave..)

actually i was shocked to see why 4.2.2 on it because he bought it 1 week ago how come so old firmware.
the problem is i cant check it i have to pay 20,000 1st then a known person will get it for me.
he himself is using that refurbished device i doubt he had A copy or we say 1:1 copy but i am not able to identify that as it looked real so i dont know how to check his mobile if its real S4 or 1:1 copy
i cant check my device 1st i have to pay then i will get device

All 4.3 stock Samsung will have Knox...

and all samsung roms after 4.3 will have knox
there must be some stock 4.3 rom which is pre rooted and know free posted in xda ?

it means all those people who are on 4.3 are either not rooted and those who are rooted have void their warranty?

I think it's a bit complicated since the EFS contains the IMEI and other info that is device-specific.
That's why you don't see a "flash this and your EFS will be all good" package.
In the old days of S1, flashing a full stock rom and full wipe would restore the IMEI, but that's not likely the case here.
I'd bring it to a service center after restoring to stock.
EDIT: maybe this helps?

If you still have your warranty (Knox flag 0x0) then I'd go to the service center instead of trying to repair it myself.

Flash CWM using Odin (search for it in the Development forums), since you already tripped Knox it doesn't matter if you flash a custom recovery. Then try the fix.

It depends, did you flash a G900H stock rom? You should flash a full stock image and see what happens.
Did you flash any custom rom in your phone? They currently available ones as of today are for the Snapdragon variant (G900F/I/etc), the G900H is Exynos and currently has no custom roms.
I didn't had any sort of issues with mine.
I'm from Uruguay...South America,and i download it the firmware to Uruguay...
This one: G900HXXU1ANCI_G900HUUB1ANCI_G900HXXU1ANCI_HOME.tar
But works good...but without signal.

Sir, as i told you, you fixed the bootloop only with this mentioned method. but it will not fix your EFS partition, so no signal!
now if you dial *#06# you will not see your original IMEI because it is corrupted.
only a previous EFS backup (that you didnt make it) will solve the problem.
Send it to a service center, they have special tool to fix your issue
Here in the country that i live...(Uruguay) doesnt have a official samsung center to fix my phone issue.
But...recently i had one idea...
I have a friend in the phone company...if he put the new imei,(that the process of recovery of the efs generate)like my official imei.
That will work?
I know that is ilegal...but,i'm desperated...and friends are friends.

It's likely that if he works at the phone company he could do that (if he is or has access to a technician).
Using the device's original IMEI it's not illegal, it would be a repair. That's what the service center would do anyways.
