[Q] Is there a way to root MJ7 without breaking Knox ?

Hi !
I made a mistake... I flashed my brand new Note 3 with the latest unbranded firmware from sammobile (N9005XXUDMJ7) with Odin. Flashing was successful and everything works fine. But I made it before I even read something about rooting that phone... Now I know that MJ7 is very hard to root without breaking Knox Is there a possibility to reverse it back to MJ3 ? Or maybe there is a way to root with flag 0x0 ?
If there is no way to do this I must wait until somone much smarter than me find the way...

have a look here but read all i think its knox free

Thx for fast reply ! But in post from your link is written that this method will break Knox and will void waranty... (flag to 0x1)... I'am looking/waiting for clear way to root my phone and set CSC code to my country (XEO)... (I live in Poland but bought phone from UK because it was 30% cheaper...)

[Q] Any progress ?

first , hi to all !!
I just ask is their any method to reset the knox from 0x1 to 0x0? or we will wait more?
my SGS4 i9505's bootloader status is 0x1 , and the phone has problems (Hardware Problems)
so I can't go to the fix center to fix it , and the 0x1 happened because I rooted the i9505 with an old method
if you can help me , I will be happy
and by the way!
I know the resetting the knox is very hard and it has ambiguous technology
but any way , I am thanking all of you helped or not , thank you

Hi..
At this moment there's no method to reset the knox counter.. But why don't you try to give your phone to the service center ? I read about a lot of people gave their knox 0x1 phones to the service center and got it repaired for free of charge and no extra word about anything like knox.. And don't forget to see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447832

1: Not supposed to ask whats the best to use (edit it quick ) mod will shut it down otherwise. I personally use CivZ but it's best to try for yourself to find the best for you.
2: If you use a custom kernel you can use Kernel Tuner, or Trickster Mod to set CPU values
3: You cannot use a custom kernel and keep KNOX 0x0 - Once you install a recovery you lose KNOX
4: Removing KNOX = 0x1 = you lose warranty and cannot use KNOX properly if you wish to do so
5: You can update yes, either flash back to Stock and update, or flash the updated ROM manually
6: Nope, your KNOX stays 0x1 forever currently as there is no known fix. - OTA will work again so long as you revert to full stock.
Read around the forum, you need to read up on KNOX and REACTIVATION lock etc, make sure you read properly or you WILL end up with an expensive Samsung paper weight.
Good luck

[Q] root 4.4 kitkat (warranty)

Hi i have a question to ask . I bought my note 3 1,5 month ago and it is with a 2 year warranty . Is there any method to skip knox and not trip warranty i. i have seen root de la vega ( i think it is not yet available or it would be i am not sure ) , also i saw that triangle away is available but i dont know how this afects warranty . Also i know that 4.4 kitkat is not so stable and developers are waiting for a more stable update . I hope someone can guide me . TY

@panospao7 the short answer is: NO, you can't root kit kat without tripping knox!
Sent from Note 3 Superphone!

Unfortunately root de la vega does now not work anymore without tripping the e-fuse thus disabling your warranty. This is because Samsung have caught onto the fact peope were trying to bypass the Knox counter and so patched the bootloader. I must say this is the reason I left Apple all those years ago. When we pay for something we should have to right to modify it as we want. Seems Samsung are following apples ways. My suggestion would be to wait until your warranty has run out. Then root your device !!!!

If u r still on old 4.3 bootloader, yes rudlv will work. But if on newer 4.3 bootloader and up, rudlv won't qork without tripping knox.
And other method if rooting will trip knox for sure.
And even u successfully root ur current device without tripping knox, once u update to kk, u will have to reroot again, and this time... no mercy.
TA is not able to revert knox as well.
And this knox issue, in some countries, the service center still never consider the flag. U have to check it urself.
If u really need root access, then u may forget/ignore ur warranty.
As for me, I need it for work, therefore... hell with knox warranty.

Thank all for the help . I will wait 1,5 year to go root or samsung to change its policy ( something that in at least 2-3 centuries might happen

Note 4 error knox

After updating to 5.1.1 fw the device continues to restart and shut down.
Trying to get into the "download mode", the message that is knox 1
But I never rootato or modified the notes 4 that is under warranty
The assistance will be able to see that the device has not been tampered although knox showed 1?
There have already been cases like this ??

That's not true, the KNOX counter will only be tripped if a file that has been modified is flashed, if you flash stock firmware you wont trip the KNOX counter.

Isn't the ones we flash from sammobile modified one? I thought only the stock that ships with the phone is unmodified, Correct me if I'm wrong

Sammobile provides unmodified firmware files, on a rare occasion if you try to downgrade to an older firmware you can potentially trip KNOX.

I never used odin
I do not know if Knox is tripped after hard reset and restore or after upgrading to 5.1.1 lollipop made with kies 3.
Never any operation of this device modding

hi ,
Firstly ,
i have to say that Knox does not worry me at all ,tripped Knox ..long ago !!.
I thus have no real interest in its workings ,as i do not need Knox in my "life "or on my device !!
That said ,well my logic says (correct me plse if i am wrong )
i have seen processes " Security log event " etc ..( I have disabled this when i rooted ... as it was also giving me wakelocks etc ) Now surely won't any "incident/breach of security ? ..eg rooting ... " be recorded in log event .??
If so surely cause of " tripping" should be establish ?
Thus take it to Samsung centre and ask them to check reason why tripped ?
Above is just my opinion and theory ...or an option to consider ?
good luck

Hello
Even for me knox +1 is not a big problem .. I can rootare the device and put a firmware that is maybe better than stock ..
But I'd like to understand how it happened! But above all I do not accept that I say that I did when the root is not true
I hope they can determine how it happened
Thank you

The device is returned from assistance for warranty service, but the same problems as before ... do you flash a custom rom could solve ??
thanks

If you downgraded your rom knox might get tripped
Maybe you bought used phone?

@ johnmassay ---> Purchased new phone
The problems that I mentioned have remained even after the return from assistance samsung.
Also taken new battery but I have not solved the problems
Also now when the phone warms up for extended use itself off and I have to pull out and reinsert the battery to turn it back
At this point I would just like to understand if it is a hardware problem or sotware.
In case of software problems I could flash a custom rom and I would be all right even without the guarantee samsung.
If it is a hardware problem then the matter is serious + .... and I would not know how to solve .....
advice?
Thanks

The center samsung think this is hardware problem ...
in which case we hope is still under warranty despite the Knox warranty Void 01
I bent as in previous posts
Thanks

I hope you sort it out and get a new device and when you do then disable knox. Knox and stock **** that ****. Custom roms is the way to go...

I am interested in custom rom, but if the problem is a hardware device on the solution "custom ROM" becomes not decisive
For now await responses from Samsung .. then I will decide accordingly ..
I'm angry because of this problem the Notes 4 is for me the ideal device, both for work and for fun and I am comfortable ... The Note 5 for example, I do not care because it does not have the MicroSD slot and battery less accurate
We hope you find a solution for my note 4 ..
