[Q] Official rom flash odin knox - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. I currently have MKF BTU (from Great Britain) and I want to update to NA4 ROM ( for Romania, which is my country ). Does this triggers the knox flag to 0x1? I want to flash via odin from Sammobile, so it's not modified.Thanks!

hi,
if you flash a stock with Odin, flag stay 0x0

[Q] Official 4.4.2 for Rooted N9005?

Hi,
I want to update to the official 4.4.2 KitKat release for my N9005 that is rooted. Will I have any problems loading the new firmware on a rooted N9005 (or lose root), or would I have to un-root it first?
My current odin mode statuses:
Product Name : SM-N9005
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Reactivation Lock: OFF
KNOX Kernel Lock: 0x0
KNOX Warranty Void: 0x0

no just flash kitkat and it will unroot, but be aware you cant go back to 4.3 and dont think you can root without tripping knox yet

Ok thanks. I guess I will wait until there is a way to root without tripping KNOX for 4.4. There has been no problems with 4.3 for me yet.

If you want to keep knox 0x0 and root I think you need to read starting here:

Either way IMHO you must also check if your current CSC is also present in the multi-CSC from the XEO N9005XXUENA6 - there are some very strange reports somewhere from 2 out of 3 users with CSC in the Nordic EU, and I think 100% failure with CSC coming from Hong-Kong.

Root, CWM & Cyanogen from S5

HI all.
I have a Galaxy S5 ( Base Band G900FXXU1ANE2 ) rooted from Towelroot APP.
Now, can I flash a recovery ( CWN, TWRP or Philz ) directly from anoteher APP and install CyanogenMod from another APP?
When I flash a recovery, the Knox go to 0x1 ?
With the Knox to 0x1, wich are the problem? Only the Warranty?
Thanks a lot.
filloweb.
I don't know much, but yes when you flash a recovery/rom your knox will be at 0x1 and the warranty would be void

KNOX- Can't flash latest FW??

according to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447832
theq86 said that:
Even if you flash a KNOX-enabled firmware via odin (e.g. the latest fw) knox will be set to 0x1
WHY?
so it means that if for example i have the latest firmware in israel (NH4) and i want to reflash it, it would trip KNOX 0x1?
