Ok so I got a note 2 the other day and want to root it. It was running android 4.1 rooted with supersu 1.93 but some how the phone updated OTA to 4.3. I have done the CF-auto flash that worked 100% pass, but here's the part that gets hairy now when it comes to knox and root things don't work too well I've tried using supersu to disable knox It says knox has been disabled then goes to say supersu does not have permissions. I've tried many root checking programs and they all stall so I know knox is still running in the background somehow. supersu binaries from 1.93 are still stuck on there and wont update to 3.1.3 due to this knox problem.
I'm really just trying to get DN3 installed in the end to get rid of all this bloatware.
Any help/technique would be greatly appreciated

The problem is the phone is showing Custom when the phone is turned on. I was on MF3, had rooted via the SD card method. The custom appeared at that point. I did a factory reset and the custom went away and lost root but the superuser app was still showing in the app draw (factory reset did not delete this). I was planning on reloading the MF3 firmware via odin but lent the phone to my daughter while I replaced the screen in her note2. Well of course she got the upgrade message to 4.3 from AT&T, did it and now the unlocked custom is back. Not sure why as it was showing as official, the trip counter was still 0 (never installed a ROM on it) BUT the superuser app was there.
Now on 4.3 I've rooted/unrooted via Kingo, during the unroot it removes superuser but the custom won't go away. I installed Triangle Away while rooted and it still shows 0 on the flash counter. Is there something in this Knox security (not sure how to check this) causing the custom?
Just want to get it back to any stock AT&T firmware so I can sell it. TIA for any help
there are only certain roms you can flash while being on mf3. If you did the mk2 update there is no recovery out yet. Using vroot and kingo are unsafe methods of rooting so puts your device at risk.

Install the Xposed framework from xda. Then, install the Wanam module and look for the Setting under "Security Hacks" that reads "Fake system status" and check the box and reboot.
The issue won't truly be resolved until you flash an official ROM, but the Custom screen will be gone at boot.

unroot via kingo, then factory rest...worked for me on 4.3
Do you plan on a warranty exchange?
I love seeing the custom on boot, it lets me know and other everyday normal people know my phone is slightly modified.

Not sure what I'm going to do with the phone yet, probably sell it but not totally sure. Wondering with it now showing Custom on the boot screen and in the OS will it still receive OTA updates? Hoping the AT&T 4.3 or 4.4 image will be available in the future and that might help.

I need some help. It has been awhile since I messed with my husbands s4. He has the origonal from like 2 weeks after release. I did upgrade his phone once. I THOUGHT he was knox free but I honestly do not know. I see no sign of knox when the phone boots into twrp recovery. But I thought in order to be knox free he had to be on like mf9 bootloader or something but it looks like his system is straight nae. his status says custom (which I chalk up to having twrp). but knox shows in the app list and it says se android enforcing and secure boot status says samsung. security software says mdf v1 release 2. baseband and build say nae.
he cannot install any apps from the amazon app store and I thought it was the sd write problem but I have tried all the fixes and no luck. He would like to upgrade to the newest but if he is not knox installed than he would like to stay that way. I dunno if on the s4 you can have twrp and still not have tripped knox???
any help would be greatly appreciated.
please help

hello,
i tried to root my S5 and it worked now i removed my Root with Super Su un root option and i wanna return it like it was before, but seems it does working
cuz my knox is not working so when i try go to my phone options and try update the android ver it says i massed up with my phone settings so i can not now.
how i can return it to normal
my build is
KOT49.G900FXXU1ANG7
android 4.4.2
country: israel
seems i can not find anywhere Kot49 files to somehow unbrick it
or is there way restore my knox so i can update my phone ?
This is not brick ... when you root your phone you triggered the knox to 0x1 and there is no cure for this now
u want to update phone using OTA method is it? over the air method right? if yes simply flash ur firmware using odin then u will back to stock status and get updates from ota. hope that helps. once knox counter move up to 1, for now u cant get it off.
Hello all, first post here so please be gentle, I've searched and been at this for the better part of the last 12 hours.
I have a US Cellular Note 3 and I plan on trading it in towards a new phone soon (hopefully tomorrow if I can get everything going.) I've never had a custom ROM, I rooted it with towelroot and have used supersu for superuser access and have been using it like that for the past year and a half. From what I understand in order for everything to go over smooth trading it in I need knox to be at 0x0, and for it to show stock official ROM and official device status. As of right now knox is at 0x0, it shows official ROM, but device status shows custom, also in device status in my settings it shows custom and it won't update. I deleted all of my root apps, did a full unroot with supersu, still says custom. I unmounted my SD card and wiped my partition cache, still says custom.
at this point here's what I'm attempting to do based on a few hours of digging, download and flash a stock ROM (Have Odin ready, phones plugged in, drivers installed, downloading what I hope is a good ROM) re root my phone with towelroot, reinstall supersu, run triangle away, full unroot with supersu again, factory reset.
I can't post my download link due to being a new user, I went to sammobile firmwares and punched in my model number and found a download link.
my device model number (SM-N900R4)
Also my baseband version is N900R4TYUCNAB and I'm running 4.4.2.
Now for my questions: Will flashing a stock ROM trip Knox? How do I know for sure if it's a good stock ROM? Is this the appropriate course of action? In hindsight I probably should have asked that question first.
I really hope somebody can help me out with this, I've rooted every phone I've ever had but I feel pretty over my head at the moment.
UPDATE:::: I'M AN IDIOT!
Updated to lollipop through kies fixed the issue. If google leads anybody here in the future just use kies to update.
In all my years of flashing stock Samsung ROMs, none of them have ever tripped the Knox counter.
Hi everyone,
Straight to the point, I bought Samsung S7 Edge second-hand and I get trouble in lagging and always show notification of "Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo any unauthorized changes."
This problems also tangled me when I'm using Samsung Health...:crying::crying::crying:
As basic situation, I know it had been root and unroot before I bought this phone.
Is anyone can help me to get rid off?:crying::crying:
samsung health, android pay and secure folder won't work on device that has root or have been rooted. firstly, to get rid of the annoying notification, install titanium backup,grant root rights if you are still rooted, locate the apk "security log agent and freeze it. If not, install latest twrp and root with magisk or supersu, just search online how to do so. lastly , to get rid of the lagging and notification . flash latest stock rom via odin and everything would be fine ..just remember that your knox is tripped forever so don't expect samsung health would work after removing root or getting back to latest stock ..hope this helps and good luck
