Hallo The Expert,
I'd like know about new system in N900 XXUCMJ7 XSE version. XXUCMJ7 has a new system warranty, Now my Warranty Bit is 1. and I heard from the XDA Forum that modified N900 like Rooting void the warranty and CANNOT flash a new system via odin, is that true?? Because 3 days ago I just flash my rooted N900 successfully from XXUBMJ1 to XXUCMJ7 via odin and everything well done and my ROM Status was official again. and now XXUCMJ7 has a new warranty bit, and after flash CWM via odin, warranty bit is 1. My question is if I want to install a new future stock firmware from sammobile and flash via odin, Was it safe??? Can I flash a new firmware ROM with warranty bit 1? Because before flash a new firmware, I always format /system first, so It's empty without system.
Thanks For the sharing
Hello. Today, i rooted my S4(i9505) and i instaled a wrong font package and my phone entered in bootloop mode. How can i get out of it without voiding my warranty and knox counter still remain at 0x0? Can i flash a stock rom by odin? Please help me with this problem. thanks in advance!
Hi,
I'm a new S4 (i337M) owner, I had a S2 but it broke.
I saw a couples of warning about the Knox BS from Samsung and I want to be sure that I understand everything.
My Android Version is 4.3 MK6 . In the download mode, I have the knox 0x0 . If I install the CWM Recovery, is it possible to keep the 0x0 or it will trip to 0x1 ? My phone is rooted but I want to do a nandroid backup before playing with mods and roms and I think that it's not possible without a custom recovery.
If I trip knox to 0x1, I know that I will not be able to use the knox option (and I don't give a sh_t about Knox) but if it's possible to do a nandroid without tripping the 0x0, it will be nice
Thanks guys !
Yes, if you flash CWM, your Knox will trip to 0x1, and your warranty will be void.
No, you cannot do a Nandroid without a custom recovery, which means you will trip your Knox counter.
Yes, you CAN root your MK6 without tripping Knox, it just will not give you custom recovery options.

First of all, big thanks for your fast reply !
My S4 is rooted ( I did it an hour after I had the phone ) , so if I have a Knox 0x1 and if I don't care about the know feature and about the phone's warranty, do I will be able to flash customs roms and original roms ?
I have the same problem!!!

I have an AT&T S4 that has a tripped Knox counter(0x1). I have no problems gaining root access. I have used Odin 3.10, Heimdall, Casual, and Loki to try to obtain a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP, but none of these worked. I'm starting to think that if the Knox counter is tripped, the container for Samsung's Knox software is locked forever and you can never flash a custom recovery. Someone PLEASE tell me I'm wrong and there is a way to flash custom recovery with a 0x1 counter tripped.

On the SGH-I337, any bootloader more recent than the original MDB or MDL are locked in such a way that you can not load a custom kernel or a custom recovery. You are limited to root, safestrap, and Samsung Touchwiz based firmware. As far as I know, it has nothing to do with knox.
Incidentally, the original MDB and MDL bootloaders were locked as well, but LOKI exploited a flaw in the bootloader code which allowed custom kernel and custom recovery to be installed. This flaw was removed starting with the MK2 and newer bootloaders.
A friend is having trouble with their Note 4 while trying to downgrade. He's getting an odin 'FAIL! (Ext4)' error at the hidden.img file and after doing some research it seems like he'll need to flash a PIT file.
He's worried that doing this might void the Knox warranty so I was wanting to ask and find out if Knox will still be in place after flashing a PIT file as mentioned here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58444130&postcount=22)
edit - I don't think the warranty will be void, the same with flashing an official firmware, but I wanted to ask to make sure

Before you go flashing a pit file, make sure reactivation lock is disabled and try flashing again
I've been googling this for a while and haven't found anything conclusive. Some sources say this won't trip knox, other sources say it will. I've read and searched through a few Q&A threads here as well, and again, some say this is okay to do and others say it is not.
Can I flash an official,stock .zip of the previous build number, N900VVRUEOB6, over top of the newest build number, N900VVUREFOF1, without tripping knox? My phone updated itself - the nag screen appeared after unlocking and my phone immediately rebooted and installed the update against my will.
Would this void my warranty? I have read that using Odin would definitely trip knox, so I would be flashing the zip from recovery mode. There is no kernel update involved so it should allow me to do this.
Is there any other way to roll back the security update that fixed stagefright?

OF1 has downgrade protection so you can't Odin back. It will trip knox. If knox is not 0x0, your warranty is void.

I wasn't going to use Odin.
I'm guessing that means I can't flash the file from recovery mode either though?
