If I flash clockworkmod with odin will I trigger the Knox Warranty Void flag? I have root with VROOT method and I still have 0x0.
Is there any method to put clockworkmod without trigger this flag?
yes.
Hi,
I'm a new S4 (i337M) owner, I had a S2 but it broke.
I saw a couples of warning about the Knox BS from Samsung and I want to be sure that I understand everything.
My Android Version is 4.3 MK6 . In the download mode, I have the knox 0x0 . If I install the CWM Recovery, is it possible to keep the 0x0 or it will trip to 0x1 ? My phone is rooted but I want to do a nandroid backup before playing with mods and roms and I think that it's not possible without a custom recovery.
If I trip knox to 0x1, I know that I will not be able to use the knox option (and I don't give a sh_t about Knox) but if it's possible to do a nandroid without tripping the 0x0, it will be nice
Thanks guys !
Yes, if you flash CWM, your Knox will trip to 0x1, and your warranty will be void.
No, you cannot do a Nandroid without a custom recovery, which means you will trip your Knox counter.
Yes, you CAN root your MK6 without tripping Knox, it just will not give you custom recovery options.

First of all, big thanks for your fast reply !
My S4 is rooted ( I did it an hour after I had the phone ) , so if I have a Knox 0x1 and if I don't care about the know feature and about the phone's warranty, do I will be able to flash customs roms and original roms ?
I have the same problem!!!

I have an AT&T S4 that has a tripped Knox counter(0x1). I have no problems gaining root access. I have used Odin 3.10, Heimdall, Casual, and Loki to try to obtain a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP, but none of these worked. I'm starting to think that if the Knox counter is tripped, the container for Samsung's Knox software is locked forever and you can never flash a custom recovery. Someone PLEASE tell me I'm wrong and there is a way to flash custom recovery with a 0x1 counter tripped.

On the SGH-I337, any bootloader more recent than the original MDB or MDL are locked in such a way that you can not load a custom kernel or a custom recovery. You are limited to root, safestrap, and Samsung Touchwiz based firmware. As far as I know, it has nothing to do with knox.
Incidentally, the original MDB and MDL bootloaders were locked as well, but LOKI exploited a flaw in the bootloader code which allowed custom kernel and custom recovery to be installed. This flaw was removed starting with the MK2 and newer bootloaders.
hi,
my dad got i9515 4.4.2 with root and 0x0 and i really don't know how to update to 5.0.1 so the knox won't be 0x1 because of present time root the phone has.
kies update will only update the files but what about that root that is already on it? will it notice it and make 0x1 without root on 5.0.1?
what do odin? does flashing with odin is like fresh system so i just flash and it's 0x0 without root?
So many questions.
I'm not positive, but I don't believe you can use Kies on a rooted S4. It will pick up on the firmware status of "Custom" and not allow the update. OTA might work, but it may also check the firmware status, see that it's set to "Custom", and fail. Thus you should use Odin to do the update. If you do it through Odin you will not trip the Knox flag. You will however lose root and will need to root the device after the upgrade. Look through the forums as I'm not 100% sure on this, but to the best of my knowledge, there is no way to root Android 5.0.1 without tripping the Knox flag. I believe this is because the methods used to root without tripping the Knox flag no longer function on Android 5.0.1.
I just bought this tablet and the root method I found here will trip th knox warranty by installing TWRP.
For the old Galaxy S2 you could install the root through the original recovery with a modded signed SuperSu (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/ics-jb-supersu-stock-recovery-t2796008), that will not show the warning triangle.
I was wondering if this method will work also on this device without tripping the knox warranty?
I have rooted my S4 without tripping KNOX. If I would flash a custom recovery using flashify and use said recovery to install a custom ROM, would it trip KNOX?

It says that the binary is unofficial, but knox is still 0x0
