Note 3 Exynoss - Download Mode Screen

Good Day All,
I own a note 3 Exynos and was originally operating on 4.3 Egyptian Rom (EGY), after that i flashed it with the Russian official 4.4.2 RES ROM, then i did a full factory reset from the stock recovery window and wiped cache partition,
Then the below attached pic os what i had in my download mode,
So first i would like to know if my Knox warranty voided, and what is the other code underneath that marked in the pic (AP SWREV: A4)

Based on the picture I would say you still have your warranty
The SWREG values seem to be sort of "versions/flags" for certain components of the boot process - on the Qualcomm versions there are like 5 of those plus a special flag on boot security, on the Exynos version it seems things are simpler with just that A (which I would dare a guess might be aboot, called simpley boot.img on Exynos) that now is at something like v4.

Thanks for your help,

software update

I rooted my s5 with towelroot and my knox count is still 0x0
now if I try to check for software update I get this

so rooting is the reason? cz I thought keeping the knox count 0 is what mattered.and how should I solve this keeping the count 0?

Turn device in download mode and check Knox waranty void.
Also Xposed module Wanam can fake system status to official

I'm not sure why you are surprised? it's well known that Samsung doesn't sanction rooting. If they did, we wouldn't need exploits like Towel root to root our phones.
When you check for an update, the update utility has a quick look at your system to see if the system files are as expected and discovers that key files have changed (because you rooted). And insists that you go back to stock before the update proceeds. If you think about it a moment, the message you received makes perfect sense.
It's questionable if you should update at all if you have a rooted system. If you do, then you ought to be doing it manually in a controlled manner. Which is to say that you don't let the system check for updates itself. Instead download the new firmware, then use something like Mobile Odin Pro to write the .tar file, choosing everroot, inject superuser and wipe cache.
.

wildalan, ,aybe stupid question - you received this information before downloading the update or just before installation after downloading the OTA?

You should download samsung kies and then connect your phone .wait a while.then click software update....it will download and install latest update.it may take a while and u will have latest software updated without knox tripping

Note 4 firmware change possible ?

Hoi to all,
is it possible, to change my firmware, from N910FXXU1ANK4 to N910FPNH1ANK2_PNH ?
What wil happend with the Knox Warranty Void ?
Now i have a Vodafone rom(stock) on it, and i want to go to the PNH rom (stock)
It's not the first time for my to flash, just asking because i not sure about this.
Hopefully that someone, gives a positive feedback.
PS. sorry for my bad English, I come from the Netherlands.

Cool I'm from the Netherlands too. Here in the Netherlands only dynafix is repairing samsung and i have send several samsung devices with knox triggered to them without problems.
Debranding is always possible, but I'm not sure about knox. I always root my phone so knox is already triggered on my n4 else i could try it out for you

As long as they are both for your model (N910F) you should be fine, and if you encounter problems you can always reflash the stock firmware with Odin

Thanks for the quick reply.
It is better to speak/write English here
Hope that someone can answer my question, about the Knox
And that i can go to N910FPNH1ANK2_PNH from Vodafone.

Yes: you can flash the PHN-firmware WITHOUT triggering KNOX (because it's official firmware)...
You can download, fast, the update file here (MegaNZ) and install it with Odin 3.0.9

Henk,
Thanks for the nice answer
Also downloaded the file from your link.
Flashing is in process

Can you confirm if the knox triggers or not? Handy to know that for some customers

If you flash OFFICIAL FIRMWARE, KNOX will NEVER triggered!
If you flash CUSTOM firmware, and eventually ROOT your device, the chance is very high that KNOX will be triggered!

1. First what is " Reactivation Lock ( KK ) " ? And that " KK " means is what introduced with KitKat update ( 4.4.2+ ) ?
2. If this " Reactivation Lock " is off this means I lose my warranty ?
3. That "2" in my green square means the counts of how many times the phone was rooted or voided Knox ?
4. If I have " Reactivation Lock" Off Like this photo without Knox voided this is a bad thing ?

#1&2: Reactivation Lock lets you use your Samsung account to prevent others from activating your device if it's ever lost or stolen. With Reactivation Lock turned on you will be required to enter your Samsung account credentials prior to starting a factory reset of the device. As such, your Samsung account*username and password*should be memorable.

#3: knox warranty void 0x1 means you have rooted your device (0x0 is a unroted device)
Whats the number means, I don't know.

Loool op got a stolen phone

It is 100% possible to have a rooted device and still have a Knox 0x0; I have one myself. Many basic methods of gaining root access will trigger the Knox bit to go 0x1, but few of those methods are used due to people having ways to gain root without tripping Knox. Equally, it is possible to have a Knox 0x1 without even having attempted to root the device; it having been trigged due to something else the person did. Knox 0x1 simply means that someone went into and has significantly altered (or attempted to alter) the bootloader or specific kernel files.

I founded what means taht 2 for my question 3, I founded this theard on sammobile: http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23822 And ther said :
" Certainly is .
This is a modified phone and has no Knox security as it has been tripped.
Knox should read:
KNOX WARRANTY VOID:0x0
Yours has been tripped 4 times usually by rooting.
To unlock the phone himself, the seller would have had to root.
But done in a very clumsy way. "

Is there any chance that an oreo update will make knox 0x0 again ??

hi all. Is there any chance that an oreo update will make knox 0x0 again ?? I am asking this becouse u know what problems does the warranty void. i installed from odin uk btu version of official sam firmware and have access to updates but hardly passed through the s health problem. i searched for solutions but only hope is if oreo will do any trick. so please if anyone has any info about that reply

Forget about it. Once tripped there is no way to reset Knox.

Nope, knox will not be restored by a firmware upgrade. Do not get your hopes up. It isn't being restored in the Oreo betas aswell.
I think the only way that knox could be restored is due to a mistake by Samsung

No. I won't say 100% but 98. Some one may crack it today tomorrow or in 10p years but do not get your hopes up

knox is hardware based. 99.99999999% uncrackable

No. Knox trigger it's physical and not a software solution. It's an fuse on your phone mainboard. It's literally a physical damage. No software update will fix it

the only way to reset it is by changing out the main board or repairing the fuse that is blown out.

Good luck with that. That e-fuse is located inside SoC.
And about replacing the mainboard... One should pay for a new mainboard, probably spending some money to pay someone to replace it in order to avoid being needed to pay to repair another defect? Does it sounds logical to you?
A motherboard for S8 costs £320-360. Plus another 50ish quid for labour. Would take you to £370-410. You can buy another S8 with those money
