What will happen if i flash a device which has Russia's(or Other Countries) 4.3 ROM , with India's 4.3 ROM? Will it set the KNOX warranty Bit flag.
I bought my phone in India. After i started using Omega ROM which has MG9 modem, i was never able to switch back to Indian Stock 4.2.2 which had MG5 modem, as in MG5 modem i was getting a generic IMEI and the network was not working. So i settled for using the KSA 4.2.2 ROM which has MG9 modem, hoping someday India ROM will get MG9 or higher. My device still shows the Official Status in the Download Mode.
My big problem now i how do i get back to Indian Firmware without voiding the Know warranty. Can i wait for 4.3 to release in KSA and then flash back India's 4.3 so that i dont face the IMEI problem with the ROM's? If i do this will it void the Knox warranty?
Or flash the MG5 ROM of India and get the official 4.3 India update? will this solve my IMEI issue?
I also heard that there is a binary counter for the number of times a Custom ROM is flashed. If we upgrade to 4.3 with non-zero binary counter will the KNOX warranty void flag?

Incase u hvnt installed 4.3 yet -
Oky, heres what u do: revert back to stock 4.2.2 android, then go to software update, (it will b good if u use triange away and remove the no.) and u shud receive update for indian firmware, since bootloader is installed later u wont loose ur warranty(when u will install it for first time the warranty bit says 0 ..)
I installed 4.3 russian fw by mistake and since my warranty bit was 0 samsung installed indian firmware on my phone(had to fight a lil tho ..)
Dnt do anything after flashing 4.3 for first time, since whatever u do will trip a flag, thus voiding the warranty ... i had isssues getting my phone fixed even at warranty bit 0 ..
Hope that helped ...
First reverted back to India MG5 4.2.2 ROM and then did 4.3 update through kies and everything went fine.
Now my fake imei problem is gone and I am back under warranty
Thanks for the help

Hi,
You said that you used OMEGA rom. It means you rooted your phone and installed CWM recovery. Now you installed I9500XWUBMG5 4.2.2 stock rom and updated to stock 4.3 via KIES or OTA. My question is now your KNOX warranty is 0x0 or 0x1.
Could you please confirm I want root my phone.
Thanks.
What will happen if i install russian 5.1.1 to my indian galaxy note 3 neo
hello guys any one here i had flash indian firmware were few days ago bt now i want to back to nepal firmware ...my device is j7 2016 model plz help me to go back to nepal firmware again
@rohit gurung: The forums for your device are here. To install the Nepal firmware you need to download it from a site like Sammobile and flash it to the device just like you flashed the Indian firmware.

Hey guys..
So I was trying to install a Korean Note 3 4.2.2 firmware (SM-N900S) on my Australian Note 3 (SM-N9005) using ODIN but was a failure.. It wouldn't proceed, saying "failed" so I gave up and instead of that I've installed UK Note 3 4.2.2 (SM-N9005)..
But I still want to install Korean firmware on my phone!!
So does anyone have any idea why this was a failure??
Is it because the model name is different?? (Will changing the model name by rooting help?)
From my past experience, I was able to install international firmware even without changing the model name..
About my device:
AP: N9005XXUEND3
CP: N9005XXUENC2
CSC: N9005OXAEND1
If you need any information about my phone (version etc.) Please ask!!
So I'm currently on UK BTU 4.2.2 (SM-N9005) and trying to install Korean SKT 4.2.2 (SM-N900S).
*This isn't a custom rom!!
Please help..
Thanks!!

The boot sequence in modern phones is secure/restricted (and Odin also tries to enforce it even before the boot - to stop you from writing bad stuff).
Basically the bootloader is different (something that you can also see even on the same N9005 model when going from 4.3 to 4.4 - 4.4 does not work with old 4.3 bootloader and currently there is a restriction which stops you from downgrading the bootloader).

But I'm not trying to downgrade.. Will it still not work..?
Also then, is there any other way to break this restriction?

No, you can't flash Korean rom on your N89005...

You should have better search and reading before you try to downgrade,it's not possible to downgrade from stock Lollipop to Kitkat because Lollipop has diffrent bootloader.
The forum here is full of it.

thank you in advance
I've just also had problems flashing firmwares,
I suggest to go look on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ for the latest
firmware for your country and device, and flash it with Odin3.
If you still get unknown baseband & no IMEI after that, look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2740676
Basically, you have to extract the modem.bin from your new firmware,
and flash it separately using Odin3, under "CP".
I used Khizar's method and this fixed the problem for me.
Hi Guys,
My Phone Samsung Galaxy S4 Black edition(India INS) got automatically upgraded to 5.0.1 Lollipop from Kitkat 4.4.2.
Since the upgrade i feel there a performance issues in my phone.
Now,I have decided to Downgrade it to Kitkat.I have identified the correct firmware from SAM Mobile below,
Model GT-I9500
Model name GALAXY S4
Country India (Black Edition)
Version Android 4.4.2
Changelist 923538
Build date Wed, 05 Mar 2014 07:25:51 +0000
Product code INS
PDA I9500XXUFNC1
CSC I9500YDDFNC2
I know all the procedures to Flash the firmware using Odin.
I have few questions below,
1)If i downgrade to the above kitkat version,Will i face Null IMEI problem and why?
2)I have also heard,the workaround for the null imei issue is to flash the modem.bin from lollipop firmware,then Baseband version will be still from Lollipop.Will this create signal problems in future?
Please share yours views and suggestions on this.
Thanks

There is a tool created by AntaresOne to backup IMEI. Do a backup then flash the kk.
Performance issue is usually because you didn.t factory reset phone after a major update.

Thanks for the reply.
Do i need to root the device to take the backup of IMEI using AntaresOne?
once i have downgraded to kitkat,I have install AntaresOne and restore the imei backup which i have taken earlier right?

Thanks.I'm not interested in rooting my device.
After downgrading to kitkat, if i get Null Imei issue,i can still resolve the issue to upgrading to the latest lollipop firmware right?

Theoretically, yes. But you know that sometimes bad things can happen.

You will get imei null for sure. That's normal. You have to reflash a lollipop modem afterwards.
I downgraded my s4 from lollipop to kitkat with odin and firmware from sammobile and i didn't had problem with imei.

Can you share the firmware details which you downloaded and flashed from SAM Mobile?
Is the version of S4 which you are using is a Black edition?
