[Q] Official 4.4.2 for Rooted N9005?

Hi,
I want to update to the official 4.4.2 KitKat release for my N9005 that is rooted. Will I have any problems loading the new firmware on a rooted N9005 (or lose root), or would I have to un-root it first?
My current odin mode statuses:
Product Name : SM-N9005
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Reactivation Lock: OFF
KNOX Kernel Lock: 0x0
KNOX Warranty Void: 0x0

no just flash kitkat and it will unroot, but be aware you cant go back to 4.3 and dont think you can root without tripping knox yet

Ok thanks. I guess I will wait until there is a way to root without tripping KNOX for 4.4. There has been no problems with 4.3 for me yet.

If you want to keep knox 0x0 and root I think you need to read starting here:

Either way IMHO you must also check if your current CSC is also present in the multi-CSC from the XEO N9005XXUENA6 - there are some very strange reports somewhere from 2 out of 3 users with CSC in the Nordic EU, and I think 100% failure with CSC coming from Hong-Kong.

[Q] about rooting my SM-N9005

Hi guys
i have a question please for developers and big users of note 3
i am under official kitkat 4.4.2 from (ota) if i root my note 3 SM-N9005 without tripping knox 0x0 will i get new system update via WIFI (ota) ? the same question if i did trip knox 0x1 by rooting ? thank you very much :laugh::good:
can any one help please ?
I am sorry mate once you are rooted you don't get any software updates over wifi (ota)
The only way to update (to an official samsung firmware) is to download the whole firmware on your computer and flash it with odin(you loose the root again)
Nope, but you can install wanam xposed and enable fake system status. Then you can install OTA.

Hi. No,it will not trip your knox as it is Samsung Firmware. KNOX Gets tripped only when you root/CWM.
From what i heard which i forgot where, downgrading from 5.0 to lower WILL trip knox, because it then downgrades KNOX security, so samsung doesn't officially accept to downgrade it from 5.0 to 4.4. Also im 100% certain that Samsung wrote that it's not possible to downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4.x, so i assume if u force to downgrade, it may trigger the knox.

I downgraded from polish lollipop bnl9 to kitkat(beacause I do not want to loose root) and my knox counter is still 0x0
Well thanks guys.
I did it also and it doesn't trip knox .
This ROM works in G900M?
Sent from my klte using XDA Free mobile app
Downgraded from lollipop G900IZTU1BOA1 to G900IDVU1ANK1 .
Lollipop is not yet for me. A bit laggy, not XPOSED framework and much other stuff which worked fine on KK. Must wait to 5.0.2 version maybe? Version 5.0 is not for advanced user yet
Total noooob downgrade:
1)Start phone in download mode
2)Flash KK firmware.
3)Your phone will not start normally either. Bootloop guaranted.
4)Remove battery and put in again.
5)Do a factory reset from STOCK recovery
6)Flash again KK firmware
7)Phone start normally, you can start customization and other stuff like rooting or daily using.

[GT-I9505] CUSTOM ROM that WILL NOT TRIGGER KNOX WARRANTY BIT 0x0 to 0x1

Do you have any working Custom ROMs that will not trigger Knox Warranty Bit 0x0 to 0x1?
Or rather any working suggestions to avoid bootloader to be locked when flashing non-knox enabled firmware?
Please Confirm if the following were TRUE or NOT.
SITUATION 1:
Official Lollipop 5.0.1 to Official Kitkat 4.4.2
KNOX will retain at 0x0
SITUATION 2:
Official Kitkat 4.4.2 to Official Lollipop 5.0.1
KNOX will retain at 0x0
SITUATION 3:
Official Kikat 4.4.2 to Official Jellybean 4.3
KNOX will retain at 0x0
SITUATION 4:
Official Jellybean 4.3 to Official Kitkat 4.4.2
KNOX will retain 0x0
SITUATION 5:
Official Jellybean 4.3 to Official Kitkat4.4.2
KNOX will retain at 0x0
SITUATION 6:
Official JB 4.2 to Official JB 4.3/KK 4.4/LP 5.0.1
KNOX will retain at 0x0
SITUATION 7:
Official JB 4.3/KK 4.4/LP 5.0.1 to Official JB 4.2
KNOX will issue at 0x1
Downgrading to JB 4.2 will restrict user to upgrade to higher Android Version.
But User can flash Custom ROM all they want?
The bootloader isn't locked by flashing any kind of firmware.
Your device either comes with a locked bootloader or an unlocked bootloader. Verizon and AT&T phones usually have a locked bootloader.
You can find some info here.
But it's seems a lot of hassle and isn't really worth it unless you are using KNOX or count on the warranty.
