Hi,
My country recd update to 4.3 almost 2 days ago, i m trying to update but cant updte thru OTA , it says max no. of rollouts have exceeded something so u cant upgrade, when i try through kies, it download firmware then force closes,
Is there any other way of upgrading?
I recently came across manual update, using odin,
If i download firmware from samfirmware.com and then install it through odin/stock recovery,
will it void my warranty?
I want to keep it under warranty for another month or so ...
Help Me.!

Hi thanks for reply
Can u also tell me i flashed 4.3 of russian country .. it came with some games which were uninstallable,can there be any chance that the rom is fake? It says 4.3 version in settings
Also if i go to samsung care centre to have indian firmware installed,will it cause any trouble?
Hmm.. fake rom? None that I knew..
I think it's better to get yr country's last firmware. So that samsung will not ask this and that...

if u download yr latest firmware from Sammobile and flash it with odin, it will not void yr warranty because this is a stock firmware. Samsung has already know that the latest update has been released. So, knox is 0x0. (if u keep it unrooted for a month or so...)
But if you rooted yr latest stock firmware, then the knox will be triggered 0x1. and warranty will be void.
just a note: flashing anything after "XXUD" firmware will trip a flag.
I hope u get a clearer picture.

Can't I download the XXUEMJ5 baseband without downloading the entire 1.** GB firmware?
And does it really trigger Knox?

1. U can download it: HERE
2. Yes if u flash it, root it and install custom recovery. If u install the STOCK ROM u can be relaxed about KNOX. Anyway u can flash other custom ROMS with this firmware without void ur warranty having root included. Take a look in XDA forum about ur i9505 and only reading a lil bit u will find ur answer

Problem is, I haven't found any KitKat ROM with the MJ5 firmware. But another though, if I was to flash a ROM with MJ5 and then I would flash any other ROM, would that trigger Knox?
edit and thanks for the link to the modem.
i can't turn on my wifi & bluetooth on my Samsung GT-I9505. It turns light green & then turn off. I recently have 4.3 in my phone with knox 0x0. I searched & found stock rom flashing via odin can get wifi wotk. But is there a chance to be knox 0x1. Please help me I'm a newbie. How to get my wifi back.

Hi
I need to return my S4 to Samsung for a warranty repair. I can't find my original nand back up. I need a link to uk stock roms please to flash in odin I do believe. And stock recovery. If this is done will it be back to stock and no counter?? I've not updated bootloader so no Knox counter.
Also will this make it Kies update able again???

Thanks again. All signed up and it takes me to the firmware and phone select page.
If I select my phone and UK it gives me a MK9 version. Is that ok? or will that be 4.3.
Can I ask another question too please. If I was to update to an official sammy 4.3 rom and then root. Would I still get the knox count or problems??

Let me makes things clear for you mate , right now i have an old bootloader (No Knox warranty void, when i go to download mode) means i can flash any 4.2.2 firmware without having any knox void warranty. this is what i do i flash a pre-rooted rom then use a triangle away to reset the binary and use Phil recovery and flash any 4.3 custom rom i want! but if you need to send your phone to samsung because there's a hardware problem , feel free to flash a 4.2 from you country.(Since more likely after they fix your phone they will prolly update it to 4.3) remember flashing a 4.3 mk9 stock rom means a new bootloader/Knox void warranty 0x0 willl be activate.So if you flash root/custom rom that should void your warranty to 0x1 Please feel free to check more about Knox from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447832

Yes I understood that. I'm in the same situation as you as in the way I flash ROMS. I didn't realise that the counter still worked even if it was an official update with bootloader, just thought if I flashed a custom rom with new bootloader it started the Knox warranty void.
Thanks for all your help. I'm gutted now though coz your right Samsung probably update my phone and then I'm b****ed anyway if I root again and custom rom it. Your link doen't take me to a 4.2.2. rom though so I'll keep looking.

You need to flash a pre-rooted rom from djembey thread. Then you can use triangle away to reset the binary .and the flash a stock rom and sent it for repair. Please read the instruction on djembey thread so you wont void ur warranty.
2nd opinion . Flash a stock rom with odin by selecting PDA. And root your phone using saferoot (i dont know about this if it works) install triangle away . Reset binary . Reflash stock again then send.
Sent from Hell ?
Is the pre rooted stock rom so that triangle away will work??? I'm on a pre rooted custom rom but need a samsung kernal for triangle away to work properly. If a flash the stock rom I have on 4.2.2 will that aslo flash stock recovery???

Thats correct ,as long its a Stock and rooted then yes you can reset the binary.then flash the stock rom again and you should be fine . incase your phone are still in old bootloader (no knox, never flash 4.3 Samsung rom) then feel free to flash a 4.2.2 Pre-rooted BMGA-odex-FULL from djembey thread ,once your done, Download/Install triangle away and reset the binary, flash a Normal stock rom from samsung, Boot into download mode and you will see it says Official and your good to go Goodluck mate
You've been a great help thanks. Stock recovery is that also flashed when I flash the stock rom last through odin???
So I'm gonna flash a stock rom pre rooted 4.2.2 with CWM then use triangle away then flash stock samsung through odin.

I have a rooted SM-N9005 with CWM recovery and unfortunately now my KNOX is tripped 0x1. I'm running the stock Samsung rom Android 4.4.2 and when I run the software update the message, "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available" appears.
My question is when 5.0 Lollipop officially rolls out for the SM-N9005, how could I update my phone?
Very simple actually. You just need to download the full ROM from www.sammobile.com and flash it via Odin.
Thanks doublesdevil makes total sense.:good:

I guess the only downside to having Knox 0x1 is having to update manually through Odin. I bought my sim free N9005 overseas to use back in my country where my carrier doesn't offer this model of phone so I could forget about getting any warranty support anyways.
