[Q] Knox And Updates - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
I'm New here so give me a break xD
Can i update my samsung galaxy s5 once my knox is 0x1(4)?
Is there a way to remove Knox?
Thank you all!
I'm currently getting my PHD in Java And Android.

You can update your phone from device after flashing a stock firmware. Device will be official..
But there is no way to remove knox counter.

You can continue to update manually by using Odin and downloading the firmware from sites like Sammobile.

I9505-Can I flash stock urooted 4.3 DBT onto my BTU?

Hi, I use apps like sky go which mean I cant be rooted. Currently stock latest BTU so have a knox bootloader, but no knox app (annoying messages EVERY day )
All I want is stock 4.3, unrooted. Is this possible?
I remember someone once saying csc was all bullcrap and most firmwares were interchangable if using Odin. Is this correct?
Many Thanks

[Q] SM-N900 International

Hi I recently root my note 3 SM-N900 with CF-AutoRoot, so when I go to Download Mode this is the information that it show me:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N900
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
So I can´t see the Knox counter 0x1,
so I think that if it don´t show the information of Knox maybe it is not void the warranty, but I´m not sure.
now here are my questions
1. How to unroot and back to Official Stock Firmware?
2. If I unroot my note 3 can I use again Knox or not?
thanks for the help, and sorry for my bad english.
Have a nice day.
Flash the official firmware via Odin and it will unroot it. But I'm pretty sure if you used cf autoroot... Your knox will be 0x1

Ok I will try.
one more thing how can I update via OTA, when I try it say that it cant update because I have a Custome Firmware.
Man, you have the old Exynos boot loader which hasn't any knox flag, if you're gonna flash something make sure it's not the newest firmware (MJ7) via Odin or you'll update your boot loader which has a bit counter similar to the knox one, just custom Roms I'd recommend you.

Whatever you do ."DO NOT UPDATE " . Continue using the same rom .once you update via OTA , YOU will never be able to downgrade to lower rom and worst a warranty bit will be activated which will make you loose warranty for life.irreversible

Your KNOX will always 0x1, so at first download official firmware from sammobile.com than download odin, in AP choose your extracted firmware md5 file and flash it after successfully flashing it must say PASS! when your phone finishes booting go to recovery and factory reset.

Is there a selection of firmware which I will download or I will just select for the Note 3 9005? Since this is the first time doing that kind of flashing and rooting.. BTW after I flash the firmware and factory reset I can proceed in rooting?
yes go to firmwares and choose what region you want I have n900 but on n9005 I preffer BTU britain firmware, after that you can root your phone using cfautoroot

Can I flash directly for Kitkat? Or do I need to flash the original firmware first before I update to kitkat. Sorry for asking too much question newbie here Lol!
no problem if I know I share my opinion you can flash whatever you want, if you want KK or JB but you must know that you can't downgrade kitkat to jellybean so you choose

Urgent help flash to stock mobile odin??

Hi guys, sorry for a new post, but i cant seem to get a confirmed answer here or anywhere else.
My S5 g900f is currently rooted on stock 4.4.2 KitKat with Towel and Knox 0x0
The usb port is damaged (wont charge or connect to pc) and i need to send it back for repair to samsung. So i need to flash it back to official status without tripping knox.
Can anyone confirm if i can flash it back to stock with mobile odin pro? If so which options do i need to select? Thanks
