[Q] Any Solution to Knox and No Wifi

I'm running stock 4.3 on the i9505 unlocked,
Knox is 0.1, so my wifi stops working if I switch the phone off or battery runs out,
Currently using the app "autostart no root" to block Knox at startup,
Wanted to know if there is any solution to fix the wifi issue without using the app,
Tried different modem and wifi fixes that went with them but non worked for me if I switch off and on,
restarts sometimes worked but other times didn't...

om22 said:
1. untick "Auto reboot" in odin
2. flash the stock rom again
3. reboot your phone to download mode again (by holding the power and vol down button for 10 sec)
4. flash the stock rom a second time with auto reboot ticked
This will fix your problem.

I have the same problem. I flashed a new Stock 4.3 today, and when the phone boots up I can not turn wifi on. I get a message about security and the process being blocked.
Tried to flash two time like above, but it will not work. How can I enable wifi again without installing av cusom rom?

Sorry no real fix,
You can root and block Knox completely this will give you wifi,
As I wanted it stock I drop it into a service center who have forwarded it to samsung now,
So long wait

Same here.. & did you flash a stock (unrooted) rom first before handing back to service center.. I thought if it was discovered to be 'rooted' they won't fix it as it voids the warrenty or something

Auto start app from the playstore works but some times doesn't,
Best way is too root and use titanium backup and freeze all Knox entries

but for 'freezing' you need the paid for version & without Wifi how am I suppose to get it off play store anyway. It cost's too much using GPRS on PAYG to download.
Would renaming the files (whatever they are called) & rebooting do something similar ??

If you do a rest does the wifi work on initial setup,
I have a unlocked phone and the German O2 rom would work with wifi,
But after a switch on and off wifi went

I assume you mean a hard reset ??
Didn't try at the time & I've ONLY just managed to get (most of) my apps restored - don't fancy resetting again to find out
I've sent email to Samsung support to see what they come up with..(They MUST know there's a problem with the firmware & they may come up with something)
If not, I might try flashing the ROM again through Odin (as mentioned in a post somewhere - apparently doing it a couple of times MIGHT fix it) - if not I MAY attempt a full Unroot

I faced this problem, when I updated my Knox 0x1 device with Kies (+ CF Autoroot and Triangle Away). After this, I was not able to turn wifi on. My solution was simple, I flashed my device with Odin, CF Autorooted and Triangle Away again, and no problems anymore. Wifi is working and everything else too.

My problem is that I am unable to even TURN IT ON. When I attempt - I get a silver shield pop up, & a 'Security notice' stating - 'your device's security has blocked an action that is not permitted. No further action is required' - App info tells me it 'Knox notification manager'
I've been emailing them..telling them KNOX is preventing me from turning on my WiFi - so far all they suggested is downloading KNOX, then Install & uninstall to fix this notification - but how can I if I don't have WiFi ?? - GPRS on PAYG is WAY too expensive Don't these people think ?!?!
Anyway just recently found out about this Knox 0x1 business & where to find it..(for the other newbies It's on the 'Download ' screen (Volume Down + Power + Home))
But I'm confused... On my phone there are 2 KNOX references
- Am I right in assuming you are referring to the 'KNOX Warrenty Void' being 0x1 & not the 'KNOX Kernel Lock' ??
Also (being a total Noob) I assume you download a suitable 4.3 STOCK rom (say for e.g. sammobiles) to use
Me - having a UK brand free Unlocked phone is currently downloading 'I9505XXUEMK8_I9505BTUEMK5_BTU.zip' from there based on this info I managed to find (Am I downloading the correct one ?? can some1 confirm this please - thanks ??)

& used this Unroot/Unbrick guide to revert back to a 'stock' rom (do you know if KNOX Warrenty changed from 0x1 to 0x0 when you did this ??)
Did your Wifi turn on ok after this ?? or only after you redid CFAutoRoot &/or Triangle away
I'm not to fussed 'going back to stock' JUST in case Samsung suggests I take my phone to one of their Service departments...I just want to get my WiFi to turn on
EDIT: FYI - I took the plunge & reflashed with the rom I mentioned above.. it didn't wipe my phone But the WiFi now works - I can turn it on and off.
I 'CFAutoRooted' & 'Triangle away' but NOT done any actual rooting (i.e host file editing etc) - so now I have a rooted phone...
Only thing is - If I try 'About device' > Software Update' > 'Update' to check - I get the usual 'This has been modified - no update available blah blah blah' message. I guess it's because of the 'About device' > 'Status'> 'Device Status' shows 'Custom'
Is this because my KNOX may still be '0x1' ??

Yes, it's because your Knox is 0x1. And AFAIK, there is no solution yet, to turn it back to 0x0. And I'm glad to hear, that you have your wifi back

Shame really - AFAIK as long as I have 'custom' (&/or Knox at 0x1) this mean Samsung can refuse the Warranty if I have to send it back at any time (which I hope will never happen :fingers-crossed

Samsung have my s4 at the moment,

But will update with the outcome once I get my phone back,
It had knox0.1 so at least you guy will know if warranty is voided or not,
I blamed the problem on kies and windows 8.1

How did you flash the firmware ?
Was it through OTA, Keis or Odin ??
I had same problem when updating my firmware via Keis v2.6 (see my post above [First & Last paragraphs] or my original post for a more in-depth explanation)
I managed to fix it myself by re-flashing a STOCK rom (got from 'sammobile' - using Odin) OVER the existing firmware (i.e I didn't hard reset it first - when it finished the phone wasn't wiped either) but the WiFi could now be turned on/off...I then 'CFAutoroot' & 'Triangle away' afterwards - checking each stage to make sure WiFi could still turn on/off
So far 'tripp' & myself have had success in fixing the 'Unable to turn on WiFi' using this method.

[Q] Soft brick? Hard brick? Sort of firm'ish brick really

I've made a bit of a mess and I need help please. My s4 is softbricked, but as softbricks go, it's rather hard.
I have an early S4 i9505 bought from Carphone Warehouse (UK, unlocked, pre knox). I rooted it, installed TBackup, greenify and got it how I wanted it. Then I downloaded a stock firmware from Sammobile and tested to see if I could get it back to 'warranty' condition, which was a success.
Confident that I could obtain warranty if I needed it, I re-rooted it, installed TB and greenify, and it ran sweetly for months from that point onwards.
I read about the arrival of updates (and knox) and concluded I didn't need them. It was working, leave it alone.
Then out of the blue, my nice stable machine broke. I didn't change anything I was aware of to cause it.
No normal boot.
No recovery.
Download only.
Using Odin, I tried allsorts, eventually getting the same Sammobile firmware to run.
2 days later, it broke again, same as before, but worse!?
Then I tried all sorts of stuff downloading no end of things trying to get it to boot or even go into recovery. The most promising approach was to reload the firmware along with a .pit file, but still no joy. I've lost track of the other things I tried, but I've been doing it for a week, so a lot has been done. In desperation, I even tried downloading the latest firmware, so I now have signs of knox of the odin page.
I now have the following symptoms:
Booting into recovery brings up the blue 'booting recovery' message then just blackness.
Normal boot is exactly the same as above.
Unpowered conection to my laptop gives a 5 second boot loop featuring the buzz only.
I can reliably boot into download and download stuff with Odin and change the little Odin page status messages. After (foolishly) trying the latest firmware, these messages say
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME GT-I9505
CURRENT BINARY Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: enable
eMMC BURST MODE enabled
Please can anyone give me some advice on what else I could try?
Thanks

If anything else is not working (especially, if you're unable to go to recovery) I'd call sammy service center. Your download mode says that you did not rooted your phone, and knox is untouched either.

I was wondering if I could get away with that. It does look good from the Odin display, but the flash counter must have a pretty high number in it by now! Won't that show up somewhere?
Do you think it does actually have a fault on it, rather than just some software that's messed up and needs tweaking?
Thanks

1. Are you able to go to recovery mode?
2. Assuming that your previous communicates were taken from the screen in download mode - you're clean.
If answer for 1 is: NO, and assuming 2: do not bother the flash counter. Flash counter does not means you messed with custom ROMs, it just means amount of the ROM update tries. As they are unable to prove that the counter was not increased by failed KIES updates, you're safe.
To go deeper, service will have to flash and wipe your phone.
One thing: remove your sd card prior to giving/sending it out.

Try a different usb cable.I was in same boat as you (after stupidly thinking mobile odin pro liked modems).
Luckily I had an unused cable off my tab 3.

N9005 keeps deleting KNOX

hi
I have a challenge with my N9005. It does a reboot, then when I enter the password to login it hangs for a few seconds, and reboots again. When I take take the battery out for a while I'm able to now login. but at this point it says "deleting KNOX". I realise that all my applications are nowhere to be found. Google PlayStore too is off. Bottomline is, there is nothing on the fone at this point; not even the Samsung and Google Folders. Its happend 4 times within the last month.
Please help. Thanks

Were u using Knox before ? If u were using Knox all ur data are encrypted inside Knox. The problem arose when Knox container damaged (Knox 0x1). If that is what happened then ur Knox data is surely be gone.

I dont know whats going on to ur phone but it seems that Knox has broken. Check via download mode VolDown-Home-Power at the same time whether Knox values is 0x1 or still 0x0..

It's still 0x0

Reflash your Stock ROM, If your KNOX is 0x0 still all it'll do is repair any damage to the system files and restore it.

[Q] Scrambled boot screen

Greetings,
Yesterday I lost battery power on my SM-N900, when back home I plugged in the charger, and everything was just fine.
An hour later, I powered on my device, the first screen displays correctly (Attachment 1), then at the Samsung animation the screen gets scrambled (Attachment 2).
The main issue is that I am out of my country for the next 10 days, and there is no Samsung service shop near my location, and need my phone urgently.
Rom: Stock ROM 4.4.2 CSC: ACR
Things already tried:
1- Fully charged the battery.
2- Replaced the battery.
3- Wiped system and cache.
4- Flashed a stock ROM.
N.B.
Recovery and download mode screens looks just fine and not scrambled.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
McHaimech
I just wanted to add, that the phone is not booting at all, the boot screen remains there, and sometimes it goes into boot loop, with the blue led on.

Is your phone rooted? custom recovery? Well. it seems your phone is corrupted. Try to send it to a customer service in the country you are, OR if you have knox 0x1 install an custom recovery and flash new boot files (i'm not sure if its possible, maybe more files got corrupted too, if you manage to get it working on a custom recovery, DELETE the following files as this topic shows: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674233 AND take a look at the +++KEEP IN MIND++ note, it will show you how to revert to stock boot)
PS: Depending on the country you are, KNOX 0x1 will not void your warranty, like EU countries, you can still win a new phone if you are still on warranty, but first if you didn't make any modification on the phone, and have KNOX 0x0 , resolve it the official way.

First, thank you for your reply.
Answering your questions:
Phone NOT rooted
Knox 0x0
Stock recovery/Kernel
I even flashed a new version of the stock ROM installed, but with no success, the problem remains the same.
Any help is appreciated.

So the best way is replacing your phone, if you don't to void warranty this is the best way.

Lost WiFi no clue

I rooted my S5 model SM G900T using Oden3 v 3.07 plus CF-Auto-Root-kltetmo-kltetmo-smg900t.tar.md5 send donation to chainfire. This was four days ago. All was better than fine until yesterday afternoon, then I tried to connect to a local hot spot. The phone said strong signal but could not connect.
Last thing I did was to run Pry-Fi didn't really understand the app so shut it down or I think I did, then after returning home I noticed while trying to connect to Google play store it said no network available.
Under settings WiFi the on off toggle is grayed out, it will flash green briefly when I go into advanced but it will not turn on.
Under App info WiFi Direct v everything is grayed out data is Zero and no cache is Zero
WiFi Direct Share is OK
I have a full Titanium Backup in Drop Box if that helps.
On the phone its Mobile ODIN Pro v 4.20 showing Kernel none Recovery none and on and on. Would like to have a nice ROM installed, but not there yet.
So I also think I didn't install something right
IMEI is present in software
I do have root that was my goal, but never to lose WiFi Oooh Mii God
What the heck is KNOX? Maybe its my router gosh

After flashing CF auto root, you tripped the knox fuse. That will give you a 0x1 status. This is only an issue if you need warranty, some say it voids it, others say not always. But once it's tripped it can't be undone. (and will have NO effect on Wi-Fi)
Are you on a stock original rom or a custom rom, did you uninstall pry-fi, and what else did you install.
SM-G900W8, 0x1

Pry-fi is broken. I had similar issues after using it. Check my reply & fix in the pry-fi thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55449565&postcount=405

Pri Fy or not

I don't think I installed anything but Pri Fy after rooting was assured then the app No-frills CPU Control,. I did not install a custom ROM. If it were the flash to auto root I would think I would have lost the wifi at that point not two days latter, I don't really know what Knox is but by having the stock software and resetting the phone to factory default I am sure I have not lost warranty as I have not damaged the phone. WiFi direct has no Cache or data
So I have to think maybe its related to Pri Fy
Thanks for the reply, I am late for work and would like to troubleshoot Pri Fy now and what it really does in relation to the other programs. As bkraptor in his post Pri Fy is broken so there seems to be issues with it. How ever his solution is in an area I have not venture yet.
Thanks again

this should give you tons of info on knox, but once tripped you can't untrip, you go from 0x0 to 0x1 permanently.

Thanks for the info about KNOX, voiding the warranty is not a primary concern. My primary concern is WIFI because I use it as my primary way I use the phone at home. It leaves my phone almost useless. I followed the link about Pri Fi but I never saw a solution for the S5 is there a clear work around. Should I use the warranty that I am paying for with the carrier and pay the deductible for a new phone. Wow I wish I could turn back the hands of time now, or have bought a different phone.
I really need a working phone with wifi, I can't lose it totally LOL.
Thanks,

Thanks for the info about KNOX, voiding the warranty is not a primary concern. My primary concern is WIFI because I use it as my primary way I use the phone at home.

Did you happen to make a back up of your rom before you installed pri-fy, if so you could wipe and install that, or you could download a custom Rom and try that. At worst you can down load a stock version of your rom and install with Odin and it will be fixed.

No I didn't make a back up before Pri Fi, I still have the stock ROM in the phone. Titanium didn't make a back up as I had thought or it put it somewhere other then where I supposed it to be. The phone is more wacked more then I thought I get line drops like crazy but maybe it was using wifi more then I thought. Thanks for helping me, where can I find a good stable ROM for this S5 now that I am in so deep might as well go all the way. I have insurance on the phone if I lost it and I almost lost it today, looked and looked for that thing. I have rooted several phones without issue, but one did brick but Samsung sent me a new one no problem, yet I have never tried to install a custom Rom.

Titanium b/u only backs up your apps not your whole rom.
If your on a 900t,i would check this thread out, it is stock and needs odin but should be close to what you have now. (you would want the full tar version, not just the modem and bootloader)
Stock, odin flashable

If you have a t-mobile this is a great custom rom, You need a custom recovery like twrp or CWM as well for this option.
I like this recovery

Always make sure this is you phone model (900t), so that you don't follow bad advise.
