Set warranty bit message

Hello guys, I've read about knox and now I get how it works and all, warranty isn't an issue for me (long story) so now I have the new bootloader flagged 0x1, now my question is whenever I boot into recovery or into OS I'm greeted with "set warranty bit : recovery/kernel" and "recover/kernel is not seandroid enforcing", I also kind of understand that this is related to knox bootloader but is it something I should worry about? Will flashing different roms/kernels now that I'm on the new bootloader mess up anything other than the already flagged 0x1? Thanks.

No, it's nothing to worry about at all, just ignore it
Or when booting to recovery go a bit cross eyed and enjoy a funky rainbow effect, it's amazing

This appears coz u changed the STOCK kernel. The unique way to solve this is installing STOCK ROM again :good:

Laughed loud. Just wanted to let you know.

Please Help! Ive been searching all day yesterday to fix my phone
So i wanted to be updated so i downloaded mf9 and mja and all the kernels or whatever and installed them and was on stock non rooted rom for a while, yesterday i wanted to install sacs custom rom so i downloaded the newest one and flashed via twrp, but now all that happens is i get a message saying "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" in red "Set warrenty Bit: Kernel" in yellow, I cannot flash anything via odin except philz recovery so i have that on there but i tried to install the stock firmware through odin and everything fails. I even changed usb cords, took out the .md5 extension, plugged the usb cord directly to the motherboard instead of using the front usb which that allowed me to flash philz recovery but i just want a working phone, no rom is working and I cant install any roms please help i need my phone back! Thanks, Chris

All Right I have the solution for you! I was lucky enough to find someone that knew how to fix this (Damageless) so here is what you need to do.
-Take out the battery and disconnect from computer
-Put battery back in and hold down Vol(down) and home key, then hold power button until it vibrates. Release only the power button after it vibrates.
-You should now be in the download mode, click Vol(up) to continue.
-Download Odin here: odindownload .com
-Download stock ROM here: (dont open click save) sammobile .com and (yes you have to create an account I'm sorry) search for your model number, ex. SM-N900t for tmobile note 3
-install Odin
-check the PDA box not phone and click PDA
-find the stock ROM in your downloads and select that one.
-hit Start and you should be back to normal
It will erase everything you had on your phone which sucks I know but at least your phone works! Good luck! Hope this helps!

[Q] Soft Brink! Please Help i337m

Hi, everyone I'm at a lost my S4 has been down for over a month now.
I've tried all the steps in the s4 bricked forums with no luck. I can't do the Kies recovery because it asks for a recovery code I don't have. (I bought the phone 2nd hand)
At this point I'm not even sure which stock rom I need to set the phone back to stock. I believe its a I337MVLUAMG1. I'm trying to run the phone on Aio.
When flashing from odin I usually get a failure. Seems like the Canadian S4 is prone to soft bricking searching the forums.
Currently I have Philz Advanced recovery installed. I'm stuck at Samsung Galaxy S4 logo
with
Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
Set Warranty bit: kernel
Any help of suggestions are gratefully appreciated.

Hey dude. No expert here, but it sounds like u have the new bootloader i.e. Knox. If ur going to do an odin flash to restore it, it's going to have to be at least MK6 firmware (I'm guessing this is the firmware u were on as NC1 just dropped and u said u'd been bricked for a month). Knox won't let u downgrade so if u've been flashing a 4.2 firmware then that's prolly why ur stuck at the boot screen. Good luck chief.
Oh, also, if u can boot into recovery, doing a factory reset and wiping /system couldn't hurt.

Alright thank you thats a step in the right direction. I downloaded: I337MVLUFNC1_880525_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI and tried flashing it. I'm getting odin failures. I can successful flash a recovery or modem. But flashing an entire ROM from odin fails every time. I'm not sure what stock ROMs will work with my phone. Its a Canadian i337m last time I was able to boot I was on MG1 i believe. I don't know if it matters. But I bricked my phone trying to undo the tmobile AWS work around (I swtiched to Aio).

U said u had the Knox msg come up when booting right? That means ur bootloader is 4.3 or higher regardless of what baseband ur on (modem). U can find a carrier specific version of the latest firmware at samsung-updates. Extract the tar.md5 and flash under AP in Odin 3.09 after unticking auto reboot and force reboot. If that fails u can try formatting all ur device partitions in recovery. Doubt that last part would help the odin flash stick but it's worth a shot. I use philz and u can format everything from /boot to /firmware_mdm. Like I said, dunno if that'll help but u could try it. Also, using kies on ur PC, u should make sure u have the latest drivers installed. Hope some of that helps

Holly Vag thank you! I can now fully boot the phone. I installed Philz recovery and installed Vision X G4. WiFi is not working, and I haven't put my sim card in to see if it'll work with At&t/Aio yet.
Okay next step this is a Canadian Rogers i337m I think. Not sure how to confirm it. But assuming it is. What do I need to do to get wifi running. I see forums saying to install certain kernel and modems for the Canadian version. I'm not sure how to proceed considering I'm trying to use the phone on Aio/At&t, and suggestions?
Thank you, thank you. This is the farthest I've gotten I've been using a SGH-I437Z=Crapola.

Lol not sure anything I said helped. I think u must've wiped /firmware or /firmware_MDM right? I only meant to do that if u were going to flash a stock fw as it would replace those parts automatically. I think u lost ur non.hlos.bin file... Flashing a stock fw will bring it back. U can wipe everything again from philz if u want and try an Odin flash again using my instructions from the last post. Also, u want to flash a stock fw that uses the same base as the rom ur planning to flash, i.e. if u restore using a stock KitKat ROM (NC1), then ur gonna wanna make sure u flash a KitKat rom afterwards as the Knox BL won't let u downgrade.
As for which carrier fw to choose, the hardware is the same in all the Canadian variants, so any will work, although I think u were on a bell fw originally cuz of the MG1 suffix.

You helped me quite a bit. Thank you. I reflashed Philz recovery with odin, then installed Vision X. I'm not sure what MDM or non.hlos.bin fiels are for. I don't want to use Odin with this phone. Searching the forums seems like this phone and odin don't get along when flashing a full ROM. I'd prefer to do all flashing using recovery. Now I just need to find the right stock zip.

No problem. Ya I guess the recovery zips could work just as well as the Odin tar.md5's would. I've just never used a recovery to flash a stock rom before.
Fwiw I have the same phone as u and have used Odin plenty, with positive results, although I've heard that peoples experiences with it vary a great deal. Having the right USB drivers installed on ur PC is key tho if u do use it.

boot screen kernel is not seandroid enforcing

hello guys
i have i9505 here when it boots it shows in top left corner this massage in red and yello and it just stuck at that massage with galaxy s4 logo
(red) boot screen kernel is not seandroid enforcing
(yello ) set warranty bit kernel
TBH with you guys i Don't know what happened with this phone beside someone tried to flash it with a rom and it went wrong
and what do you think about this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2594483 did anyone try it and what happened to phone ??
how do i know phone region ?? CSC_config_LSB
a friend of me said i need Z3x samsung tool box to fix it is that a box or a program that i can download ??
I'm sorry to bother you

That method should work
Edit: and no you don't need any toolbox

thank you another question how do i know My Phone CSC or region or any firmware will be ok ??

I honestly don't know, for my model I just download the firmware for it and flash it but it may be different for the i9505.. I would think you download the firmware for your country/carrier if available from sammobile.com and flash it through Odin.. There may be a guide for this try searching the forums

on which model you tried this ?? and how did it go , did work ??

I didn't have the same problem but I know this solution works, it fixes many problems.. I have M919 USA model

ok i will try it nothing to lose and About Z3x do you really think I don't need it , because my friend said its only solution for this problem !

Yeah I'm pretty sure you don't, as long as it turns on you shouldn't need it for the most part

i tried that on 1st attempt it failed however in 2nd attempt odin doesn't detect phone ??

i did try it 3 times i only got a firmware upgrade enncoutered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again !! AND kies is not connecting the Phone.

Uninstall kies, reboot and try again

did that nothing changed

Try changing usb ports and try every last available port, if that doesn't work try reinstalling drivers

did it all and nothing changed

will downgrading help ??

Nope.. Can you try a different computer?
Edit: what version of Odin are you using? Try a different version, or newest if you don't already have it

It's just a normal message when you use a custom kernel. A custom kernel is always included in a custom rom. So nothing to worry about.
You can do 2 things:
1. Flash a custom recovery (if you don't already have on), flash the custom rom you want.
2. Flash one of the latest stock roms. The rom from the thread you posted is outdated and can't be flashed to your phone if you have the latest bootloader.

They are right, I actually thought about suggesting that but for some reason I thought you didn't have custom recovery, if you do you can just flash a ROM without having to worry about connecting to Odin

sorry for late respond i will try to flash recovery and see if i can boot to into it

How would i know which provider on rooted phone

to unroot phone for a friends galaxy s4 i need to download the stock provider files for the phone but i have no idea what the original provider was.
Is there a way to find out what the stock provider was and can i install any provider firmware ?

This is easy if you know the CSC. Only:
1. Install Kies (android 4.2.2/ android 4.3) or Kies 3 (android 4.4.2). Conect ur friend's phone to the pc.
2. Look for the CSC (Pic 1 attached).
3. You can go to Sammobile.com and download the latest firmware for the provider of your friend.
4. Flash it through ODIN and enjoy :highfive:

Well that someone is @AL_IRAQI
Did you try a data wipe after that? No? Try that first on stock recovery.
And kernel not seandroid enforcing is not an issue. Ignore that and data wipe.

If you're still able to get into Download Mode, the device is soft-bricked. As to firmware, are you using Optimus, Vodafone, or a smaller carrier?

tmn , its the most used in portugal but the roms didnt work as I said

Nevertheless, you asked for a ROM. Your ROM is here. Assuming you can get into download mode, make sure you're using the original cable and the cable is directly connected to the PC (i.e. not using a hub). Post any error messages Odin generates.

Awnser #2
So the first rom the 9505XXUHOJ5_I9505TMNHOJ1_TMN , i've already tried , and the error that odin gave was, nand writ and the fail.
Ill try to install the 4.2.2 version to see if it works .

I've tried the I9505XXUBMF8_I9505TMNBMF1_TMN/ rom , 4.2.2 version from the site that u give to me, and nand writ and fail again... (((

Humor me.
Enter Download Mode and read off the model number given there. I want to confirm you don't have a Frankenphone before recommending you bring the phone to a Samsung service center to have it looked at.

Take it in for service. If none of the stock ROMs will install you have a hardware issue.

When flashing a stock ROM, you should flash the same or newer firmware to the phone.
Are you using the original Samsung cable to flash the ROM? What errors are you getting in Odin?

whats is the diference between a rom or a firmware?
No, im using a regular cable... the pc detects it so there's no problem I guess...

Sorry about the confusion. Firmware and rom and pretty much the same thing.
Even though my s4 and s3 were detected with any old sub cable I had on hand, I could only flash the stock rom in Odin with an original Samsung cable. I would always get put errors without the Samsung cable.

@RubenPimenta: Sometimes yes, sometimes no. You should be using the original cable, rather than an aftermarket one.

oK ill try with the original cable and I'll post the result ...
but until now the error its always the same... nand writ fail

Same results...

help guys

You should be on Windows 7 at least. Try another computer, but if that doesn't work, follow my advice in post #9.
