I have installed stock rom 4.3
Got knox bootloader and the warranty flag on 1 (not a problem because i don't have warranty anymore)
Now, i have 2 questions:
1) i can restore an old nandroid backup with cyanogenmod? will boot?
2) it's possible to install cyanogenmod with the knox bootloader?
Thanks

NO, you can not..
what you need is ClockWorkMod (CWM) aka custom recovery..

guys,
My I9505 has a hardware problem: the VOL DOWN is unresponsive.
That's a nasty problem, because rebooting the phone gives a lot of problems (warnings about a custom rom, and then nothing works anymore)
So I'd like to return it, but have to restore the phone for warranty.
I managed to flash latest stock MH8.
Here are my questions:
1. before, I've flashed autoroot - does that make the flashcounter go up?
2. before, I've flashed philz recovery - does that make the flashcounter go up?
3. I've flashed the new stock firmware, but still see a clockworkmod folder. can I safely remove that?
4. are there other folders I've to remove to NOT void my warranty?
5. is it necessary/safe to use triangle away on MH8 with the new bootloader?
thanks for any insights!

Be VERY VERY careful if you're running the new knox firmware that you don't trip the eFuse and change KNOX Warranty void status.
If you have flashed stock firmware MH8 in Odin I would simply do a factory reset in the STOCK recovery and wipe everything that way and send to repair centre.
Do not flash ANYTHING custom or otherwise, even older Stock firmware in Odin.
If you do you will trip the eFuse, your KNOX warranty status will change and you'll be f***ed mate.

Thanks, that's very good advice. will keep it in mind.
Do you know the answer to my questions about the flashcounter going up by flashing recoveries in stead of custom roms?
thanks,

Hello everyone,
I am newbie and I want to root my Samsung S4 I9500, current on 4.4.2, I9500DDUFN4, India.
I have some question that I want ti clear before going for this new world of rooting.
1. How to unroot again, if I want to revert?
2. What is this knox 0? And seen in some of the thread that rooting will increase counter to x1. So how to revert it to 0 again?
3. As after rooting I would try some of the great customer ROMs. so, after unroorting which official firmware to install at first (means 4.3, 4.4.or 4.4.2?
4. Most imp just after rooting I am gona factory reset my phone and want to take full back of the factory version of phone so that can be used in case I want to revert. So how to do that? is that is called as Nandroid backup?
5. Is knox 0 x1 counter voids warranty?
6. Any other precautions and suggestions for your side?
Basically I want to root, factory reset, take backup, install custom roms. And in case of failure or problem I want to revert to factory version with official rom and with all warranty.
So please explain or links can be also given so that I will learn my own.
Sorry for this long questionnaire.
and THANKS in Advance.

Hi there,
1. How to unroot again, if I want to revert?
You can unroot by flashing Stock firmware or SuperSU has an option for this also!
2. What is this knox 0? And seen in some of the thread that rooting will increase counter to x1. So how to revert it to 0 again?
Once you have tripped the knox flag to 0x1 you CANNOT reverse it back to 0x0
3. As after rooting I would try some of the great customer ROMs. so, after unroorting which official firmware to install at first (means 4.3, 4.4.or 4.4.2?
As you have 4.4.2 firmware already you will not be able to downgrade. You will need to insatll the original 4.4.2 firmware your phone came installed with or higher!
4. Most imp just after rooting I am gona factory reset my phone and want to take full back of the factory version of phone so that can be used in case I want to revert. So how to do that? is that is called as Nandroid backup?
Yes....or you can back it up with a custom recovery such as Philz or flash stock firmware!
5. Is knox 0 x1 counter voids warranty?
Not in the EU (as far as I know)
6. Any other precautions and suggestions for your side?
Yes! Alot more reading my friend before you decide to do anything to your phone. If you are going to install custom roms then you will need a custom recovery (this will trip knox flag)
Recovery - Philz (recommended but not the only custom recovery)
Root - CF AutoRoot (not the only method)
KNOX - Here
Stock ROMs - Here (flashable in Odin)
Good Luck :good:
hello, i have i9505 with 4.4.2 fnb8 stock rom. It is rooted and knox is 0x0
Can i do nandroid backup without mark knox counter?
No you cant
Nandroid needs a custom recovery
And flashing a custom recovery will trip knox

Hi,
Tried to google it, but seems i just can find howtoos on installing custom recovery if i root the phone.
However before i root the phone (since its a work phone) i would like to make a nandroid backup of it just incase it needs service sometime in the future. And therefor have a NON rooted image of it.
So my question is: Is it possible to install a custom recovery to make a nandroid of the S5 without rooting it and voiding the warranty?

First read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313072
Second If I'm sure you will not void your warranty but MAYBE you will have in download mode Knox Flag 0x1 or something like this and Custom binary 1... BUT MAYBE I'M NOT COMPLETELY SURE
Install custom recovery, kernel, ROM etc. sure trip Knox to 0x1. Unfortnately reset doesn´t exist.
Only towelroot doesn´t trip knox.
Is it possible to undo towelroot again without a nandroid?

Hey XDA,
I'm about to install TWRP via Mobile ODIN Pro (v4.20) and I have a few questions.
1.) It says it will trip KNOX, but when I installed SuperSU I have successfully disabled KNOX. Does this mean that even if I install TWRP recovery, KNOX still won't be tripped?
2.) Can someone point me to a link on how to install TWRP step by step via Mobile ODIN? (I found one that shows how to install FlipZ Custom CWM, but I'd like one for TWRP) I need the latest TWRP version link also.
2.5) Can the stock recovery make nandroids? I'd like to make a nandroid before flashing TWRP, but if I cant it's no big deal. (Again, just wondering, but I still want TWRP)
I just want to do this right so I can make a nandroid backup. I am already familiar with TWRP from my HTC Evo 4G LTE, so im not interested in CWM.
FYI: I am on the stock ND2 rom - G900P (Sprint) - KOT49H.G900PVPU1AND2 - (if that helps you)
Thanks in advance! - zmag
Ad 1. Custom recovery trip Knox to 0x1 = loose waranty for motherboard
Ad 2.5 No.. Only custom recovery

You have not successfully disabled Knox and as you already know, installing a custom recovery like TWRP will increment the Knox flag.
No, the stock recovery cannot make a full backup. That is one of the primary benefits of TWRP. Your best backup alternative given a stock recovery would be Titanium Pro, which isn't nearly as good as TWRP. After you install TWRP you can make a full backup.
The only obvious way to make something resembling a Nandroid without a custom recovery would be to use the dd command from the command line and back up each partition.
You were just telling me in another thread how you always do forum searches. It's not hard to find numerous Odin tutorials if you search.
.
just get img file of stock recovery so u can flash back if u need best way. u can make backup with twrp then when you restore u just got to flash stock img ir tar of recovery
