What will happen if i flash a device which has Russia's(or Other Countries) 4.3 ROM , with India's 4.3 ROM? Will it set the KNOX warranty Bit flag.
I bought my phone in India. After i started using Omega ROM which has MG9 modem, i was never able to switch back to Indian Stock 4.2.2 which had MG5 modem, as in MG5 modem i was getting a generic IMEI and the network was not working. So i settled for using the KSA 4.2.2 ROM which has MG9 modem, hoping someday India ROM will get MG9 or higher. My device still shows the Official Status in the Download Mode.
My big problem now i how do i get back to Indian Firmware without voiding the Know warranty. Can i wait for 4.3 to release in KSA and then flash back India's 4.3 so that i dont face the IMEI problem with the ROM's? If i do this will it void the Knox warranty?
Or flash the MG5 ROM of India and get the official 4.3 India update? will this solve my IMEI issue?
I also heard that there is a binary counter for the number of times a Custom ROM is flashed. If we upgrade to 4.3 with non-zero binary counter will the KNOX warranty void flag?

Incase u hvnt installed 4.3 yet -
Oky, heres what u do: revert back to stock 4.2.2 android, then go to software update, (it will b good if u use triange away and remove the no.) and u shud receive update for indian firmware, since bootloader is installed later u wont loose ur warranty(when u will install it for first time the warranty bit says 0 ..)
I installed 4.3 russian fw by mistake and since my warranty bit was 0 samsung installed indian firmware on my phone(had to fight a lil tho ..)
Dnt do anything after flashing 4.3 for first time, since whatever u do will trip a flag, thus voiding the warranty ... i had isssues getting my phone fixed even at warranty bit 0 ..
Hope that helped ...

Hi,
You said that you used OMEGA rom. It means you rooted your phone and installed CWM recovery. Now you installed I9500XWUBMG5 4.2.2 stock rom and updated to stock 4.3 via KIES or OTA. My question is now your KNOX warranty is 0x0 or 0x1.
Could you please confirm I want root my phone.
Thanks.

hello guys any one here i had flash indian firmware were few days ago bt now i want to back to nepal firmware ...my device is j7 2016 model plz help me to go back to nepal firmware again
@rohit gurung: The forums for your device are here. To install the Nepal firmware you need to download it from a site like Sammobile and flash it to the device just like you flashed the Indian firmware.
Hello brothers, past week i updated my gs4 i9500 from 4.2.2 official to 4.3 official indian version as Pakistan hasnt yet recieved this update.. after that i tried to downgrade back to 4.2.2 but odin failed , odin mode said " unsupported version *.. After that i managed to flash South African Stock rom 4.2.2 xfe and it went fine, not when i am trying to flash my own region Pakistan's official 4.2.2 ... Same error occurs.. Suggest me how can i get rid of samsung knox, my warranty bit has also changed from 0 to 1, that means its void too.. HELP ASAP
You cannot get rid of KNOX.
Once the knox bootloader has been flashed, you cannot downgrade the bootloader.
Once the KNOX flag has been triggered it cannot be reset.

Device is galaxy note3 sm n9002 ... It was somehow international on 4.4.2 i.e. got it like this ... I flashed official 5.0. Chineese Unicom successfully .... But it refuses to downgrade even rooted. .... Is the problem that famous " Download boot enabled" ?
How disable this in such phones ?
I can apply almost any tutorial... Just a little help ...
Sorry no idea on your model .
Downgrade is usually newer Bootloader that stops . See Bootloader thread.
