Hi
I just want to know if i can flash 4.1.2 I9305XXBLL3 to 4.3 knox bootloader
I didn't like 4.3 and i want 4.1.2
I don't care about knox 0x1
Thanks
I doubt you can reverse the knox bootloader. You cant downgrade. All the way up once u have flashed the new 4.3 bootloader. Alternatively you can try the stock pre rooted 4.3 firmwares which does not have the newer bootloader just incase you dun like it you can just reverse the flash.

Hi Guys .
i am planning to buy a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 Snapdragon S800 Version but i have some questions .
First i dont care about warranty so i dont have any problem with KNOX Void Warranty 0×1.
i read that "It isn’t possible to downgrade to KNOX-disabled firmwares/bootloaders (An attempt sets 0×1) (even though some people state, downgrade is possible when omitting the bootloader file in a firmware package). By downgrading from KNOX-enabled to KNOX-disabled firmware, your devices will be locked to installation of newer firmwares."
and ". If you try to downgrade to KNOX-disabled system(MGA for example) your device will be flaged as KNOX Void Warranty 0×1 and will get a special lock – you won’t be able to update to any KNOX-enabled firmware even by ODIN. Samsung’s 4.3 update is KNOX-enabled, so if you tried to downgrade to KNOX-disabled firmware(for example MH8->MGA), you won’t be able to install 4.3 update."
so this mean if the The KNOX flag being tripped i wont be able to flash (install) any stock roms (newer builds) .
You can always upgarde no matter what knox warranty says
EDIT: all note 3 firmwares are knox enabled...
I think you took your qutes from a sgs4 forum, where android4.2 is NOT and andoid 4.3 is knox enabled

No Idea, won't hurt you to try downgrade though. At most you'll get a bootloop and reflashing KK will fix it.
Right now im running 4.3 mj4 and works fine. No bootloops ...after downgrade works fine..now i need to find the way of recover my efs file..nvram.nv bak..all those files are missing..no backup.ideas?
I have samsung s4 mini sgh-i257m disguised as gt-i9195 and my Knox is 0x1 sadly, im on 4.2.2 with knox and i am wondering if i can upgrade to 4.4.2 and go back to the same 4.2.2. Basically go back and forth (knox enabled to knox enabled) i want to try 4.4.2 but i want to make sure i can still go back
I have Galaxy S4, and how do I check if my Knox status is 0x0, i went into bootloader, i don't see anything there though..

Hi mate if you dont see any knox warranty void 0x0 0x1 in download mode. Means ur still on old bootloader and thats a good sign. Turn off your phone manually and press power+volume down in order to reach download mode to check it out.

I apologize for bumping this, but I am on stock 4.2.2 rooted right now and I don't have this knox warranty in download mode. It only says my system is modified and TringleAway can solve that. Does this mean if I update to 4.3/4.4.2 then this flag appears? Because from what I've read there is no way to downgrade to older bootloader/reset the flag to 0.
Hello,
flag in the new bootloader change only if you flash a kernel or a recovery stock.
For the root, it's possible to keep 0 x 0
But if you upgrade to 4.3/4.4 the new bootloader appears
Sorry for my bad english
So as long I stay on 4.2.2 they won't know a thing? I am not in hurry to flash a custom ROM, but I'd rather not deal with this KNOX crap.

As long your not flashing a stock 4.3 and 4.4.2 your fine. If you are still in 4.2.2 feel free to flash custom recovery. Root.custom rom. And if you got any problem feel free to flash a 4.2.2 stock rom. Make sure to backup first. Have a nice day.

Thats what I wanted to know. Thanks. Makes me curious if stock 4.3/4.4.2 would work with old bootloader or if Samsung requires it seeing as custom ROMs seem to work with either of them.
Hey do u wanna trade with me your s4 xD. I'm already with knox 0x0 and 4.4.2

I heard about Knox after I updated to 4.3. I probably won't buy Samsung phones any more.
Hi would be great if you can share info on this knox stuff as is it possible to install root and recovery without tripping knox as if in old bootloader,and which version of android contain the old bootloader for the s4 as the the phone comes with 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) and after the rooting and recovery install can we upgrade to the latest from the old bootloader or do we need to update to the latest bootloader which has knox.
well I am asking this as in note2 it was possible to update to the latest without getting into knox **** and then loose warranty,hope someone can share light on this quick as would love to jump into this thread.:good:
Yes there is a utility by Chainfire.
I am not sure if it will affect OTAs or perhaps any official software update that gets pushed through by Kies3

From reading around on the forum and asking on IRC I have tried to figure out exactly how KNOX works. This is my conclusion, but I am far from sure this is correct.
If someone can give me more information, I would be happy
On a GT-I9506 with the stock 4.2.2 bootloader, using ODIN to flash custom software does not do anything special since the 4.2.2 bootloader does not contain the KNOX functionality to burn the e-fuse.
On a GT-I9506 that has been upgraded and has the 4.3 bootloader, using ODIN to flash new unsigned software will burn the e-fuse.

Semi-correct, with 4.2.2 bootloader you doesn't have knox, but with 4.3 bootloader you have knox, but you can flash a new official rom with Odin without affect the knox status. It only will change to 0x1 if you flash something unnoficial with Odin, like a custom recovery, kernel, root, etc... but know you can root in 4.3 wirh towelroot.

Ah, yes. This is my understanding as well, I was unclear in my post. I will edit it to reflect this!

Yeah. It would be interesting to find out if you can downgrade the 4.3 bootloader to 4.2.2 after getting root with towelroot, without burning the KNOX e-fuse
CAn someone share with me last Stock Rom without knox bootloader?
The Stock Rom rooted with old bootloader would be great.
I still refuse to upgrade to bootloader with knox
You can grab any 4.2.2 formware from sammobile. Those shouldn't have knox in the bootloader.

That isn't correct.
Android 4.2.2 MH1 is the first firmware with all the Knox stuff, including the bootloader. 4.2.2 MGA is the latest firmware without Knox

Okay, sry it seems that I was a little bit wrong, the MGG build is the first 4.2.2 version with the new knox bootloader, but it is still correct that MGA is the last build with the Knox free one.
On my german sources they told that MH1 build is the first Knox version but however. Take a look at this

Knox has been introduced in Oct 2013 along with 4.3 bootloader (as far as i can remenber! one year old.....)
So your request is to come back to a 4.2.2 rom version, why? just to avoid Knox? OK I understand
But In my view you have better to flash a recent 4.4 CUSTOM rom that will preserve your legacy bootloader and will offer all the upto date features. They are many available in the dev section.
Custom Roms do not modify the boot section , so no risk to become knox pointed.
Thanks to Darker Times for his links.
