Im aware you cant reset knox counter thats not what im asking. After you trip knox and root using CF method, can you flash stock everything with Odin and take OTA's normally?

Good question, I am coming from the EVO Lte, and am new to Samsung. So I am a little curious as well.
I have the same question. I've searched the forums and can't find a definite answer. Some say you can flash back to stock and accept OTAs with Knox still tripped, while others say that Knox being 0x1 will disable OTAs completely.

I think OTAs will not work, but you can still update via Kies.

Thanks for the info. That won't be a problem for me, but if I ever end up selling the device, I guess I'll have to explain the situation to the potential buyer. I've read there's an OTA out of the box on some devices, and mine will be here tomorrow. I was gonna play around with it completely stock just in case I have any issues and have to send it back. Once I'm sure I'm keeping it, if there is an update, I'll root first and then flash back to see what happens. I'll update this thread with my results.

Based on my experience with my siii and other samsung devices it's more or less:
1) Make sure kies is up to date (I usually get prompted, otherwise go to "information>check for updates" at the top of kies)
2) plug in your phone (if you have pin or some other security system make sure you unlock it and on the home screen)
3) You should see the device under connected devices
4) At this point I usually get prompted, if you don't make sure the device is selected and look under "firmware information" and it should either allow you to update or tell you the device is up to date.
I rooted my s5 after 1 week, of course Knox status has changed and ota is not working, because Rom status is custom.After doing factory reset ota is working, as well as Rom status is official. I have to mention that I did rooting because of blocking ads and unwanted apps, so I do not use any custom Rom.hope this could help to understand Knox and ota difficulties.

So was rooting preserved after you did a factory reset? Was the knox counter status back to 0 or was it still tripped

I am still rooted after factory reset via stock Rom. Knox status is tripped. Afaik there is not known solution how to reset Knox to previous state now.

Can someone please explain to me what is this KNOX and what does it do. How can I check its status?!
It's like the triangle on various Samsung devices. From what I understand, it will display a message or counter if you've modified the OS. This basically tells a service tech or phone carrier employee that you messed with the phone and voided your warranty. As stated, it also disables OTAs as well.

Guys, I'm on stock 4.2.2 MGG firmware. That's how my devices came out of the box.
I rooted it just out of the box even before I put the screen protector, so now the knox flag is 0x1.
What will happen now? Will I be ever able to update to 4.3? or install ANY custom roms from the devs?
I rad the QA thread about knox, but its really unclear and there's some cross information.
The device is I9505
Thanks in advance.

The flag won't stop you doing anything with your phone at all, the only difference is that Samsung may now not honour any warranty claims for your handset.
There's also the few issues with root access not working properly with KNOX installed, but that happens with or without the flag being tripped, it's just a feature of KNOW.

From what I understand I won't be able to downgrade or upgrade to knox enabled firmwares at all since my device is now compromised.. 4.3 HAS knox in it. Am I wrong?

Ah, yes I forgot about that. You won't be able to downgrade (at least not easily) to non-KNOW firmwares. However there's not really any reason to now that you've already tripped the flag, so you're not missing out on anything there.
I think that's all there is, although I could be wrong.

Thing is that I'm on 4.2.2 now, and want to UPGRADE to 4.3. but 4.3 is a knox enabled firmware so it seems from what I understand is impossible?
I was also on 4.2.2 with knox status 0x1. I have flashed the leaked 4.3 firmware with knox without any problems so dont worry

Upgrading to a higher fw will always work, even if knox is triggered. Only downgrade won't work or maybe will hardbrick your device.

What is your status when you boot to Odin/download mode? (most interested in RP SWREV part).
Either way - you tripped the Knox flag, and as far as we know (so far) that can't be reversed (at least not by us).
However you are now free to do any other Odin stuff you want - for instance you can easily update to some stock NEWER or EQUAL version that you like, or install a custom recovery, kernel or ROM.
Another option might be to try with Kies 3 in "recovery mode" - that should force-update you to the latest official version for your phone. But Knox will most likely stay 1.
The reason that it's not updating is because it's rooted, not because the knox flag is tripped. You can't get updates on a rooted phone.
To update it, just download the firmware and then flash it with Odin. You will lose root, but since knox is tripped anyway, just re-root it with CF-Autoroot.
Thanks guys! I plugged it into Kies and it updated. I lost ROOT but I think I'll leave it for a while now until someone fixes the KNOX tip and a possible way to get updates with ROOT.
Even though it's warranty void... I think I'll leave it for now just so I don't mess it up big time next time!
Get Wanam Xposed, you will also need the xposed framework. There is a setting in wanam xposed that let's you fool your system into thinking it's not rooted. You will be able to update that way. I've managed to do it twice and I'm rooted.

1)Yes rooting will affect your binary counter.
2) Yes you can unroot your device to gain back warranty.
BUT the binary counter is HIDDEN!
So you can just reset the STATUS(which is official for stock n custom for unofficial)
There is an app called Triangle away which resets this counter but it only available for i9505 n not for i9500.
you have one more problem that is Knox In some service centers do not pay attention to it, but in others lose two year warranty on the phone

First have a look on the stickies of Knox discussion. You wont get official software updates if you trip knox(as recovery is custom aftr rooting) n there are knox friendly rooting methods.

As I said previously that you should know what are you flashing and what will happen after it. If you flash anything by not following the correct procedure then you ll pay for it. I rooted my s4 3 months ago and immediately took a backup of my OS through a custom recovery. This backup helps me if something gets wrong. And I really dont care about about Knox because what you lose is only OTA updates and nothing else. So after rooting even you can backup your OS n stay on stock as long you want. Choice is yours. All the best.

If your warranty will be void depends strongly on in which country you live. There is no yes or no answer.
Flash anything but an official Samsung package through Odin and it will trigger the Knox flag and change the device status to Custom. OTA updates will stop.
Re flashing an official Samsung package afterwards will change the device back to Official and OTA updates will resume. But the Knox flag will still show as triggered. Theres no way to reset it.

Would I be able to receive OTA updates after rooting?
Do I need to delete all KNOX related stuff after rooting? Because I've heard that CF root method does interfere with KNOX in such a way that you get random reboots.
Firstly you have a i9505 unlocked so there are no problem for root.Secondly if u will root u can't receive ota updates and when you are trying to root thay ask you stop the knox...after cf-rooted you never install knox again...because your flash counter start counting...but your device supported triangleaway so u can clear all your counter and u also back to official.

What I understand from your post is:
1) I can't receive OTA updates after rooting, so how will I upgrade to latest stock? Using Odin?
2) If I use CF-Root, KNOX will be deleted and I should not install it again, right?
3) Knox counter can be cleared using 'triangleaway', right?
So it means there is not much to lose other than KNOX? My last android phone was Xperia U and when I unlocked its bootloader its DRM keys were destroyed which means no more Bravia engine and XLoud. I hope nothing like this happens with S4.
Yoy can get ota update via kies and when you clear you flash counter u can install knox agian....and not much thing u lose except knox.

You should read the first thread in the Q&A section about Knox. You are getting things mixed.
If you flash a good custom rom, you really don't want to go back to stock. Don't ask what a good rom is, because that's all about personal preference.
you're confusing some stuff.
the Knox warranty void counter WILL BE TRIPPED if you'll root your device, hence, your Knox app will not work on your device.
there is no possible way to reset the Knox counter as for now.
You won't get OTA updates, because your phone will change from Official status to Custom, though with xposed module: wanam xposed, you can trick your device to be official, and still get updates via the option there: fake system status.
you can always flash a new rom with odin, even stock roms of course... but you will have to root the device again.
triangle away will reset the flash counter, but it will not reset the Knox warranty void counter.
you can see that counter in download mode (pwr button+volume down+home button)
Knox warranty void: 0x0 (not tripped) 0x1 (tripped)

No, no updates but you can restore via odin of you decide later you want them. For knox phones if you will be going custom then I recommend to do so sooner than later, I've got this crazy hunch......
I had number of issues with wifi just breaking intermittently on a knox bootloader gs4 once I went custom. I would have to power down for a few minutes and then power back on to get it to come back up! it's odd because with time it seems that this issue goes away on its own for good once the custom rom and kernel has had a chance to settle, which takes a few days... The only reason why I think that this would happen is because knox can't be disabled completely and perhaps the knox bootloader is looking for some kind of knox response from the wifi driver which isn't present because it's not availble in custom rom and perhaps there is a fail count that need to be triggered before knox bootloader just give up and disables this check completely? Anyone else's thoughts on this?
But beware, for me, this issue comes back once you re-flash a new custom rom/kernel and then you have to wait it out again...
So it seems knox is still active somewhat even though you have a custom rom/kernel installed. The other reason why I recommend switching sooner rather than later is this approach, I would imagine allows for more time to react and fine tune software to work with different bootloaders Eventually as kernels and custom roms are optimized the code should speak better to the knox bootloader.
If your always upgrading then you may not be allowing enough time for open source community to react and mature to the unforeseen changes that appear in new bootloaders.
I have another gs4 no knox MDJ bootloader and have no wifi issues at all, it solid! but this may be because the community has had more time to talk to and MDJ bootloader.

Using CF Auto Root increases your flash counter and trips the KNOX warranty flag!
Unrooting with SuperSU and updating with Kies have reset the KNOX WARRANTY VOID to 0x0?!

Not true, KNOX will still say 0x1 after unrooting, he probably means the system status and binaries are reset to Official again.

Hi,
Well the uninstall of SuperSU went ahead with no problems, a box did flag up saying something about would you like to disable KNOX before continuing and just confirmed it.
Since the Un-Root, i have just opened KNOX again and havent had any problems at all. I did complete a factory reset just for my OCD needs with it and nothing has been triggered and no flags or counters. Still have the KNOX app with the set up wizard client available to get it going if i ever need it again so..
Didnt realise that people where having a problem with KNOX if im honest, when i finish work i shall have a play around with it and update this if i encounter any problems.

This might well be the case, i dont fully understand all of the tech terms regarding the binaries but only have a little knowledge when it comes to checking the counters and any flags or problems.

KNOX, Private Mode and off course warranty are affected when the KNOX void flag says 0x1 and you are rooted. If you unrooted correctly as discribed by the OP Knox and Private Mode should work again after you flashed a stock rom.

As you live in the EU warranty for the device is still valid when rooted/tripped KNOX unless the manufacturer can prove the issue is caused by rooting.

Hi,
Oh right i didnt know that. Is it just within the EU that the warranty is still valid? Are their any other countries that are the same?
Just a general question then, with regarding the voidance of KNOX or anything, would that only effect me if i wanted to send the phone back for whatever reason? The counters for example wouldnt made a difference for my phone and daily useage anyway so if i just keep the phone and continue to not having any problems i could have as many counters on it as possible?
Just getting my head around the whole void/counters thing.

KNOX, Private Mode and off course warranty are affected when the KNOX void flag says 0x1 and you are rooted. If you unrooted correctly as discribed by the OP Knox and Private Mode should work again after you flashed a stock rom.

I have currently official status but Knox 0x1.
The one & only thing concerned then is warranty. Knox based apps and all others should work as before Knox 0x1.

By this i mean that if your workplace / company supports bring your own device to work for corporate emails etc and they use knox to keep security your device will not allow this. You are still able to use future samsung firmware releases with the knox flag 0x1. hope this makes sense. sorry for any confusion this has caused!"
