Hi guys. I currently have Mk8 BTU (from Great Britain) and I want to update to ML6 ROM ( for Romania). Does this triggers the knox flag to 0x1? I want to flash via odin from Sammobile. Thanks!

Any advice?
Not possible to downgrade to KNOX-disabled firmwares/bootloaders (An attempt sets 0x1)
Even if you flash a KNOX-enabled firmware via odin (e.g. the latest fw) knox will be set to 0x1
Flashing unsigned or modified images via odin will set knox to 0x1
Samsung stated, resetting the flag is impossible
KNOX is mandatory and can not be completely removed
Warranty Void is no counter, it is a flag (0,1) it was never seen 0x2 or so
Mirroring all partitions from a clean 0x0-Device to a 0x1-Device via JTAG produces an unfunctional device (reversible by restoring the 0x1 partitions on the phone)
KNOX bootloader verifies signatures of kernels and recoveries. No custom ones possible without voiding the knox warranty
Ok, thanks

Hi, I rooted my N900 with CF Auto an want to check KNOX trigger, but in download mode I got only below information but nothing about KNOX:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N900
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
where can I see my KNOX Void information?
Consider yourself lucky and you don't have to worry about knox. I wouldn't worry, and TWRP custom recovery right away and enjoy a new custom rom
Yeah, the Exynos model doesn't have eFuse like the SD800 versions.

From what we know about the GS4 there is still a counter that Samsung can see despite what download mode shows.
I have the same phone, knox information dont show in ODIN mode
I have some questions
1. If I root my phone how to unroot later with the stock samsung official firmware?
2. If I rooted can I update later via OTA update to 4.4 kitkat?
3. How to install a recovery?
Thanks

As the title says I would like to revert back to Official Status, remove root and stay on Knox 0x0
I have 4.3 version, Knox 0x0, and I have reset to factory defaults and I do not have root now.
As knox is 0×0 it means you are not rooted.Just flash official firmware will solve your status.flash it wia odin.

No. False. Knox flag DOES NOT mean you're not rooted if it's 0x0.
The only times this is true is if root using a method that rewrites your recovery, such as CF-Auto-Root.
The only things that trip knox are unsigned recoveries (ANY custom recovery) and custom kernels (ANY custom kernel).

Ohh..tnx for correcting me.!But I think the problem is status of device. As knox is 0×0 there is no problem.knox is not triggered. Flashing a stock firmware changes the status custom to official. Please correct me if I am understanding wrong!

Correct. Flashing a full stock firmware AFTER a factory reset and wipe should return to official status, officially.

Hi to all. I have quastion. Can I flash stock android 5.0 on my G900F rooted with towelroot and knox flag 0x0 with mobile odin pro? Mobile odin pro have option everoot. That means to root stock rom when start flashing procedure. Then I think need to flash modem and bootloader from stock 5.0. What your opinion? Can I flash and root stock 5.0 and keep knox 0x0?

What is knox kernel lock? On download mode it says 0x0. Does that mean I can flash custom kernels? My warranty is already voided.
If you're on a firmware/bootloader newer than mdl you can not flash custom kernels

Flashing anything custom will trip KNOX
EDIT - Tell a lie, I believe there is a custom(ish) stock(ish) ROM that can be flashed without tripping knox, the thread title says KNOX0x0
