Knox Warranty Void: 0x1 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I saw this on my bricked GS4 4.3.1(cyanogenmod 10.2) when I powered it on.
Any way to fix this?
It pops up on recovery mode and when I boot it up.
I really just want to get my S4 working again.
Can I just take it into some place like Best Buy or something and they'd help me?

If you can boot to recovery, then I wouldn't say it's "bricked."
As for a place like Best Buy helping you, well I don't know their processes but anyone who checks for a warranty claim can't help you in its current state.
Why not just flash a new ROM?

If your phone is "bricked" than your phone has the same exact functionality as a brick. If your phone can turn on and tell you which version of android your on, well... a brick cant do that.

Well I can't get into recovery mode. Being the idiot I tried to flash 4.2.2 over not thinking what I have done. Well, even before I couldn't get into recovery mode. I can get into download mode however. Is it possible I can flash official 4.3 or some other 4.3.1 rom over?

If you still having the problem..

Well friend,
don't panic.. as I know all your loses is that you lost your warranty but not your device..
You can install the stock original rom jelly bean 4.3
If you are interested go to www sammoblie com then (firmwares) then search for your device model (I9500) or (I9505) or (I9505G) or (I9506) then download the firmware for your country and carrier and follow their installing instructions

If you can boot to recovery, then I wouldn't say it's "bricked."

did you ever fix it , i got the exact same problem , i got a metropcs s4 and i wanted kit kat insane rom and tried to flash a stock tmobile rom because some people said they did and it was fine,. well not for me. i would like to knowif you ever got it fixed, i tried to flash the stock metropcs 4.2.2 that i was on before this happened and odin still fails.
its fixed now , i had to move the stock tar to the same folder as odin, go figure

Haha mate you havent "bricked" your phone.
If your phone enters the recovery, it would be booting into the download mode too.
Try getting the official firmware of your specific phone model nom and just flash it via odin.
Dont worry.

Yeah that is because you upgraded to 4.3 which has KNOX bootloader.
It wont let you flash 4.2.2 anymore. Like a downgrade is not possible once a knix enavled bootloader is flashed.
Download 4.3 or 4.4.2 and flash. It wont fail.
Thanks if i helped.

Sounds nice and all although I tried to flash the official 4.3 from Samsmobile and it's fails.
4.4 is not available for mrtropcs customers because the company don't care about it's customers in this regard. LOL
Just for inquiry purposes only, I found a link to a Guy saying he used lunix to delete know bootloader from a tar filehttps://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=8PDgU7DSOZTdoATTkIKYDA&url=http://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D75DKAGNstbM&cd=1&ved=0CB4QtwIwAA&usg=AFQjCNE7yajeB0317RtOmlFeEIB1QgEOGA&sig2=oD8TmSaTKu19-kpy0AKFGQ

Just go to sammobile and find the latest firmware for your model (4.4.2 for example) and dont look at build number.
Just grab it and extract to desktop.
Put your device in recovery mode if you can, and wipe data/cache/system if you can.
Then put your phone in download mode and connect do computer, in ODIN choose AP and add your tar.md5 file from desktop.
Flash it.
Then pull out battery on first reboot when flashin. Put it back and get into recovery by pressing VolUp + Power. Wipe everything again and reboot.
Should be fine.

i was finally able to flash stock 4.3 by just moving the tar file into the same folder as odin, go figure , i still want 4.4!!LOL

I have the sprint S4. it was rooted and on stock 4.2.2. i updated it to 4.3 and it went into a bootloop. I then tried reverting to my nandroid from earlier today and now it won't boot at all, it just goes to a screen that says, firmware upgrade encountere an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again. there is a list on the top left that says,

I'm a total noob and did the same thing to my phone but I'm pretty sure this is what you need to fix it http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SPH-L720 you can't use MF9 it won't work since you've updated to 4.3. It will take a while to download but just be patient and flash with odin 3.185 :fingers-crossed: Good Luck!

Seem to have bricked my phone following DJembey's root method

Hi everyone, I'm desperate here.
I was following DJembey's root method TO THE WORD/LETTER. Everything was fine up until the last bit in changing the 'custom' status to official. The triangle away method didn't work, so I downloaded the 'OFFICIAL_STATUS_MOD' and used odin to try and flash the PDA, but it came up as 'FAIL' and now my phone is stuck on boot mode with 'FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE'. I've tried using odin to flash back to the stock rom, but it keeps coming up with 'FAIL'. Rally need help

what firmware you are trying to root, and what stock firmware you tried to flash?
Here's what it says, this is the firmware I am trying to flash, but just before I did the root guide, I applied all of the official updates through settings >about phone > update, etc. It was still on 4.2.2 and I think it was october edition of the latest firmware (in UK)

i think you have the secured bootloader (check if you have Knox void 0x0 or something in download mode) if yes, you can not go back to MDM or an old firmware, you can flash new "knoxed" firmware.
note that Triangle away and other stuffs to reset counter or status, wont work on new firmware.

it seems you have the secured bootloder, dont use triangle away or somthing else to reset counter and status.
you can flash firmware that begin only with I9505XXUD or I9505XXUE

At the moment I'm downloading "I9505XXUDMI1-PRE-ROOTED-ODEX-FULL.rar", will this work do you think when I try and flash using ODIN? Hope so!!!
Right, I've tried that firmware, and it's still failing on odin any ideas?

Hello,
what USB cable are you using?
I have encountered an issue with the original Samsung cable, ("fail" in Odin all the time), but when I switched to another usb cable everything worked from that moment on
Try it, you might have luck.

Funny you should say that...
I restarted my PC, and tried a few USB ports, and cables, and it was still failing. But I stuck at it, and literally doing the same procedure over and over seems to have worked, as it randomly decided to flash fine! This was using the XXUE firmware

Don't do this! Once you have the MJA bootloader installed you should never odin an older firmware unless you want to brick your phone.

Worked for me when I got into a similar situation when I went to 4.3. Kept the 4.3 boot loader, but was at 4.2.2 until I put 4.3 back on.

Rogers I337M S4 won't boot after ODIN flashing

My girlfriend has been having S4 issues in the past such as random restarts and application issues probably related to a ROM issue. Her phone IS rooted. While I was at work, she went to my floormate for advice and he, who also has an I337M S4, suggested she reflash a ROM. Things went well according to him (i.e. no ODIN issues) and I trust him since he has been messing with these things for a while; however, now her phone will not boot past the Samsung logo. It won't reliably go past the simple "Samsung Galaxy S4" white-and-black splash screen and when it does it fails to progress to actually being on. I CAN reliably get the phone into download mode and CAN flash ROMs using ODIN; however, I have no idea how to fix this issue. :/ I have access to any necessary S4 files (such as the PIT file) from my floormate.
Since I can't get anything more useful than download mode, here's the information from that:
Product: SGH-I337M
Binary: Samsung Official
Status: Custom
Knox Lock: 0x0
Knox Warranty Void: 0x1
USB-Config-LSD: 0x30
Write Protection: Enable
MMC Burst Mode: Enable
I apologise if any of that isn't quite right as she has a crack in the top left of her phone that makes it very hard to read.
Thanks in advance,
Jacob

Custom roms are typically flashed through a custom recovery.. trwp, cwm, phils..... stock roms are flashed through odin.... 2 ways you can go here... flash custom recovery ( tripping knox btw) or download a stock rom from sam mobile.... making sure you get the right one of course.... and flash it through odin... sounds like currently you have a bad flash.......

Sorry, I should have specified. What "Passed" on Odin is a stock ROM or at least it should be. I'm just trying to get the phone to a bootable state and am unconcerned with the end resulting ROM. Do you have a link to a recommended ROM that won't take an entire day to download?

If your coming from 4.3 there are a number of good roms... unfortunately they are all around 1.2 to 1.4 GB so if you have a slow connection it will take a while... I run Danvh's 4.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537495 , there is also this one that people seem to like but I haven't tried it.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2375180 you will need a custom recovery.... both of these suggest twrp.... I flashed with 2.6... 2.7 is out now and I don't know how it reacts but you will need a custom revovery to flash the zip file....
I guess the issue is you have to restore to stock via odin but you don't know what version bootloader you have? Guess you'll have to use samsung tool which will probably install knox?
Can you install custom recovery via odin?
Try with the new 4.4 files

Knox is already tripped. I'd go into recovery, do a factory restore again and then plug it into the computer and do a restore with Kies.

[Q] won't boot normal or recovery [desperate]

Can someone help with a possible bricked an SGH-i337 4.3 UCUEMK2 build?
Got this on eBay & it "ran" great but this nagging voice kept saying, "it could be better on KitKat."
First let me say I’ve been rooting & flashing ROMs for years but this had me stumped.
After performing a successful "saferoot" I found RomManager couldn’t install ColckworkMod due to a locked bootloader.
I did install "Safestrap" but w/o fully understanding how to use it I may have killed it.
As of now I cannot boot into recovery, normal booting shows the Samsung logo with an unlocked padlock symbol.
Odin connects but with a locked bootloader I’m not sure if that will help since NAND write fails.
In download mode at the triangle screen this is what it reads:
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox Warrantee Void: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC Burst Mode enabled
Any Devs out there that can prevent this from becoming an aquarium chew toy please help.
I’ve been trying to fix it for 2 weeks & about to give-up.
much thanks, Rick
