[Q] flash stock rom with pit file, what about knox - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I flash a stock rom (G900FXXU1ANE2 (BTU)) and repartition with a pit file, would it trigger know void 0x1? I want to remove the branding from my german o2 Branded S5.

I guess no since Qualcomm should mount an HW protection efuse so if you switch to 0x1 u wont reset that counter. Maybe there is a chance for Exynos based device seems those cpu don't have an efuse protection.

if you flash the rom.the knox wound't change to 0x0.

So as i understand KNOX will trigger only when flashing recovery, rooting phone if we want to debrand and flash BTU firmware it will not trigger and stay on 0x0?

Id like to know this, I get good deal from network, but have always debranded handset before flashing BTU firmware.
Curious about the knox counter also in this situtation.
I'm not sure either but i think official firmwares should be safe to flash.
It's modded or unsigned kernels/bootloaders that will cause the KNOX flag to trigger.
On the S4 flashing stock fw triggers off the knox counter...

But he repacked the FW with an older Kernel. Maybe that was the Problem.
I hope someone would test this

Does someone even use Knox? I prefere root over Knox!
I have a question about Knox...
I don't care if I trip the Knox counter to 0x1 because when I root I know I void my warranty.
My question is once rooted and the Knox counter is at 0x1 is there a way to get the phone in a state where it will receive OTA updates.

It doesn't increase, it is 0x0 or 0x1, on or off

[Q] NOTE 3 SM-N9005 KNOX warranty and Software Downgrade\Upgrade

Hi Guys .
i am planning to buy a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 Snapdragon S800 Version but i have some questions .
First i dont care about warranty so i dont have any problem with KNOX Void Warranty 0×1.
i read that "It isn’t possible to downgrade to KNOX-disabled firmwares/bootloaders (An attempt sets 0×1) (even though some people state, downgrade is possible when omitting the bootloader file in a firmware package). By downgrading from KNOX-enabled to KNOX-disabled firmware, your devices will be locked to installation of newer firmwares."
and ". If you try to downgrade to KNOX-disabled system(MGA for example) your device will be flaged as KNOX Void Warranty 0×1 and will get a special lock – you won’t be able to update to any KNOX-enabled firmware even by ODIN. Samsung’s 4.3 update is KNOX-enabled, so if you tried to downgrade to KNOX-disabled firmware(for example MH8->MGA), you won’t be able to install 4.3 update."
so this mean if the The KNOX flag being tripped i wont be able to flash (install) any stock roms (newer builds) .
You can always upgarde no matter what knox warranty says
EDIT: all note 3 firmwares are knox enabled...
I think you took your qutes from a sgs4 forum, where android4.2 is NOT and andoid 4.3 is knox enabled

No Idea, won't hurt you to try downgrade though. At most you'll get a bootloop and reflashing KK will fix it.
Right now im running 4.3 mj4 and works fine. No bootloops ...after downgrade works fine..now i need to find the way of recover my efs file..nvram.nv bak..all those files are missing..no backup.ideas?
I have samsung s4 mini sgh-i257m disguised as gt-i9195 and my Knox is 0x1 sadly, im on 4.2.2 with knox and i am wondering if i can upgrade to 4.4.2 and go back to the same 4.2.2. Basically go back and forth (knox enabled to knox enabled) i want to try 4.4.2 but i want to make sure i can still go back

[Q] Knox 0x0 root on SM-G900T baseband BNF6

I have read that you can downgrade the SM-G900T to ANE6, use towelroot to root it, then flash back to BNF6 using Mobile Odin Pro. Will this void the knox status? I'm flashing back old official firmware.

No , flashing official firmware with Odin does not trip KNOX, also not when downgrading.

[Q] stock rom for N910F via odin no knox flag on

hay' i have note n910f with stock rom but no samsung rom and now i want to change it to stock from samsung.
if i will burn via odin stock rom did my knox flag will change to 0x1?
sorry for my bad english and thank's to the helpars.
Yes, flashing anything via Odin will trip your KNOX flag to 0x1. If that was the question..
@quadlt
Your answer is wrong
Stock Rom means original ROM.
Did you have a original Note 4 with original Rom?
Did you flash anything before?
If you're device is untouched, you can flash ANY original Samsung ROM via Odin without triggering Knox to 0x1

I hope so to, but i have my doubts....
Are you sure? I really Mbolblthlk say yes and others Slatham you know that I will run Knox from personal experience? Just do not feel like losing warranty on a new device, thanks for the help.

rom for SM-N910F
Hi
I just bought note 4 SM-N910F and i came unrooted with vision-x n4 ROM. The problem with rom is that the finger print does not work and there iss no data usage. When i boot(from the first time) on the upper of the screen there is written : Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit: kernel. Searching on the web this shows from the bloatware as there is a custom rom. I used sam moble to find the firmware but dont know which one i am going to download. Searching the APof the cureent firmware it corresponds to the t mobile variant (sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910T/TMB/) firmware. Can someone help me which i have to choose. Attached there is the the curent CSC.
Did anybody try to flash stock firmware? did it trip knox? I have seen different answers to this question so want to be sure. Another thing is the flash counter that will definitely change and that does void warranty if I'm not mistaken? thanks
Ok, I say this one and for all, I burned stock with Odin and it doesn't trip Knox flag on,it safe.

Updating my phone.

Hello guys i really need your help.
Im using BOD3 Firmware version,there are a lot of new versions,i was rooted knox 0x1 (2),and then i unrooted through SuperSu.How should i update my phone,via Kies,SmartSwitch,or Odin?I wouldnt prefer odin cause it flashes stock rom and my flashcounter will be knox0x1(3) Right?Is it safe now to update via Kies?
Your KNOX is already tripped, forget about it now and use ODIN, ODIN with Stock ROM will NOT change anything KNOX related, only custom
0x0 = Not tripped
0x1 - Tripped
The counter means nothing for warranty
