Good Day All,
I own a note 3 Exynos and was originally operating on 4.3 Egyptian Rom (EGY), after that i flashed it with the Russian official 4.4.2 RES ROM, then i did a full factory reset from the stock recovery window and wiped cache partition,
Then the below attached pic os what i had in my download mode,
So first i would like to know if my Knox warranty voided, and what is the other code underneath that marked in the pic (AP SWREV: A4)

Based on the picture I would say you still have your warranty
The SWREG values seem to be sort of "versions/flags" for certain components of the boot process - on the Qualcomm versions there are like 5 of those plus a special flag on boot security, on the Exynos version it seems things are simpler with just that A (which I would dare a guess might be aboot, called simpley boot.img on Exynos) that now is at something like v4.

i decided to reheat exynos chip... after that the phone is working but the imei is /01
Huh?
You have the i9505 no? This is a Qualcomm chip, not Exynos.
Also what do you mean reheat it?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium HD app
sori, not exynos, its qualcomm, exynos is i9500...
Dear friends i have one very important question .. however my SGS4's display died and i had installed a CM11 on it i need to revert back to stock firmware because of my warranty. I've found many manuals how to do this but i still don't know one thing.. Do I need to reset my binary counter after or before flashing the stock rom ?? or it will be reset by flashing the stock firmware? It will be a little difficult for me because my screen is black and the only way how to do things on the phone is by connecting MHL adapter...
And just to explain what happened to my screen... the pixels has slowly started to changing colors to blue just like on the foto attached... It was no way to stop it neither removing battery helped.. and after a few hours screen was totally black... digitizer is working fine..

There is no need to reset any counter. You can't hide it anyway these days. There are eFuses burned already. That doesn't mean you lost support though. Just send it in.

First of all thank you for your reply
And hmm that's not so good ... however replacing screen with digitizer would cost me 165 euros if they would say my warranty is void ... and what do you think, should i better flash the stock firmware or not ?? I can do that through odin with no problems also without screen working..
thank you
Yes, why not. Shouldn't harm.
Hi all,
I haven't updated the firmware of my i9505 for a long time, it's been acting a bit weird lately so I figured I might as well update it and reset/wipe it at the same time.
I think I'm still on the old pre-knox bootloader (though on a custom 4.4.2 firmware currently - Phoenix 9.4).
If I update firmware, is it necessary to flash a new bootloader?
I'd just flash the newest bootloader + modem for ur telco.

If u are gonna use custom roms anyway, it shouldn't bother u as the knox thing won't even be there. And if ur warranty has ended it also won't be a problem.

True, my warranty should have expired some time last year probably. Is it necessary to flash a stock firmware as base before a custom, or can I flash a custom firmware immediately? Not sure if there are any hoops to jump through to flash over a knox bootloader
I'm not an expert but I was in the same situation as u. I flashed the new bootloader+modem, and was able to flash roms also without any problems.
I'm on BMG4 bootloader but that really isn't that important from what I've seen, pretty much custom roms and kernels support old bootloaders.
What is important however is what modems you use, you can use any GSM (MODEM.BIN (edge,3gh)) but you ccan not use just any 4G modem (NON-HLOS.BIN) if you are using old bootloader (no knox) the highest 4G modem you can use is BMH1, anything newer than that then you will usually loose sound and WiFi function.
Here's my phone info

I'm starting this thread to continue collecting all necessary information about Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Verizon version mobile phone. This thread is aimed as continuation of currently closed sibling thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/guide-to-note-4-wip-t2939288.
Ask any questions below and I'll add most common questions to this post.
Information relevance: 02/27/2016
Let's start from main information:
Verizon version of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (N910V) is carrier version from Verizon, based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 CPU and has wide cellular support: GSM, CDMA, LTE.
It is carrier unlocked from the factory - you can use SIM card of any carrier
It has two versions: Retails Edition (RetEd) and Developer Edition (DevEd)
It's likely that you have RetEd. You can check it in the Download Mode (Volume Down + Home + Power)

}
RetEd has locked bootloader and write protection on system partition. That means, that you CAN NOT flash custom ROM, kernel, modifications. Also, there is NO permanent root solution.
Temporary unstable root is available for RetEd both Android Kit Kat and Lollipop via KingRoot 4.8.1. It disappears after reboot.
You can flash any custom firmware to DevEd, including permanent root, but be careful with OTA updates - they may update you to locked bootloader and you'll get Retail Edition.
There is Knox Trip flag. It's 0x0 by default, but once you tried to flash custom firmware - it will set to 0x1. Your warranty is void in this case, and It's impossible to revert that flag back. Also Knox software will stop to work on that cell phone.
Yes, most cool nuts from in this forum are only for DevEd, and not available for RetEd.
Any comments and suggestions are welcomed.
Can someone with Android 5.1.1 and Retail Edition try this APK and place report here: https://github.com/nowsecure/android-vts. I wonder how many vulnerabilities they fix comparing with 4.4 and 5.0.1? I would appreciate it.
Hello everybody,
I am totally new so please forgive me if I ask something stupid.
So I got this phone, S8. In Download Mode, it shows Knox is not tripped (0x0) but my S-health and Samsung Pay doesn not work. And I am sitting at android 7 and cannot upgrade.
Pics attached below.
I know nothing about rooting or flashing so a little more details would be super great. Thank you guys.

Go in the recovery what version does it say at the top. Also what model is the device its written on the back next to imei number.
Looks like you are on carrier locked device with locked bootloader and rooted rom.
Your solution is to flash same version of stock firmware.

Hi Vcek,
It is S8, SM-950U. Unlock carrier. Android 7 version, G950USQU2BQK5
So in the end, is it rooted or none-rooted phone? The Knox 0x0 confused me alot.
I did some google and someone says sth about flashing with Odin, and flash all of the options such as Bootloader, AP, CP, CSC and so.
Then my question is,
1. Will flashing with Odin using the firmware I download updato.com (could not download from SamMobile) trip the Knox?
2. By saying stock firmware, do you mean "official" firmware or else? Like I can use a firmware for T-Mobile, android 9 (Pie) or I have to use a T-Mobile, android 7 version?
3. The firmware I got from updato.com is for AP flashing, so for other options like CP, CSC, where can I download the official files?
4. I should not flash bootloader, should I? Since it will trip Knox?
5. Is there any better sites than updato.com and SamMobile? One is so freaking slow and the other is not downloadable.
Thank a lot for helping me!
Hi all,
The problem was solved. I just flashed all of the options with a stock room using Odin.
