Preparing phone to go to Samsung Repair Center (Tripped Knox) - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I manually installed the latest Samsung ROM (4.4.2).
I have also rooted the device.
Therefore, I believe I may have tripped Knox.
My phone needs a repair by a Samsung Repair Center.
What can I do to wipe as much of the evidence as possible?

You can start downloadmode and see if your knox flag is 0x1. If so, there's no way to set it back to 0x0. But in many countries, you can use your warranty also with knox 0x1.

Current Binary: Custom (it's not custom, it's Samsung's latest ROM but I flashed it using Odin)
System Status: Official
Knox Kernal Lock: 0x0
Knox Warranty Void: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

So there's no chance to get back to knox 0x0. But as I see you're from the UK, samsung has to repair your phone under warranty I think.

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.

KOT94H.I9506XXUCNG3
I have tried to root my phone with:
TowelRoot

So I'm wondering what to use instead? Have a PC with Windows 8.1. Don't have any custom ROM either.

So you got 0x0, with 0x1 your warranty is void, does this matter to you or not?
Well not generally. In some way I need to void the warranty anyway. Love to even give my phone a new software so it can work better.

You can not say that 0x1 voids your warranty. It depends entirely in which country you live.
