Hoi to all,
is it possible, to change my firmware, from N910FXXU1ANK4 to N910FPNH1ANK2_PNH ?
What wil happend with the Knox Warranty Void ?
Now i have a Vodafone rom(stock) on it, and i want to go to the PNH rom (stock)
It's not the first time for my to flash, just asking because i not sure about this.
Hopefully that someone, gives a positive feedback.
PS. sorry for my bad English, I come from the Netherlands.
Cool I'm from the Netherlands too. Here in the Netherlands only dynafix is repairing samsung and i have send several samsung devices with knox triggered to them without problems.
Debranding is always possible, but I'm not sure about knox. I always root my phone so knox is already triggered on my n4 else i could try it out for you

As long as they are both for your model (N910F) you should be fine, and if you encounter problems you can always reflash the stock firmware with Odin
Thanks for the quick reply.
It is better to speak/write English here
Hope that someone can answer my question, about the Knox
And that i can go to N910FPNH1ANK2_PNH from Vodafone.

Yes: you can flash the PHN-firmware WITHOUT triggering KNOX (because it's official firmware)...
You can download, fast, the update file here (MegaNZ) and install it with Odin 3.0.9
Henk,
Thanks for the nice answer
Also downloaded the file from your link.
Flashing is in process

Can you confirm if the knox triggers or not? Handy to know that for some customers

If you flash OFFICIAL FIRMWARE, KNOX will NEVER triggered!
If you flash CUSTOM firmware, and eventually ROOT your device, the chance is very high that KNOX will be triggered!

As i know the boot.img(aboot or sboot) must be proper signed.
So once you edit it after to be able to flash it you will have to sign it.This is the problem i think so.

That's exactly the problem, otherwise this would have been done long ago.
Kids, this isn't something made by a greasy teenager in a basement somewhere - behind KNOX is a firm that specializes in security and gets paid for it. Don't expect cracking it to be easy, and remember that it's Common courtesy to read the entire thread before starting new threads like this one.
Cheers,

First I'm not even thinking that newbie playing with crowbar crack tut in the "BASEMENT" like me could even think like you guys it's just idea while I'm harsh because of tripping my knox while flashing another country stock firmware screw that knox suppose to be encrypted protected container for sensitive data preventing any not authorized use and ensure data couldn't be retrieved by root or whatever
Ok I got certificate from full 4 files JB stock rom if I extract it and sign the aboot could it work

I think ND2 can be rooted via Towelroot. Search it here and double check if i'm correct.
Sent from my SM-N9005

Did you even look in the Towelroot thread ?

I meant ND3, just a typo i guess. Anyway, i also included that you check Towelroot's requirements. I won't do that for you. Your phone you decide.

I know well it's my decision but I was reading that there is some fellow's note 3 has tripped knox after rooting with towelroot .. so I wondered is there some programs the knox feel with them and tripped or its just bad luck with them .. anyway I am so so sorry for being annoying but really I just need to understand that's all
Thanks in advance ?

Personally used Towelroot. Did not trip Knox, stayed 0x0. After custom recov was installed then that tripped my knox counter, best decision ever. Now i'm flashing away custom roms. You're lucky having an early KK that could actually use TR. Some people who updated KK have to go through a process just to use TR and not trip knox.

Hi all,
I haven't updated the firmware of my i9505 for a long time, it's been acting a bit weird lately so I figured I might as well update it and reset/wipe it at the same time.
I think I'm still on the old pre-knox bootloader (though on a custom 4.4.2 firmware currently - Phoenix 9.4).
If I update firmware, is it necessary to flash a new bootloader?
I'd just flash the newest bootloader + modem for ur telco.

If u are gonna use custom roms anyway, it shouldn't bother u as the knox thing won't even be there. And if ur warranty has ended it also won't be a problem.

True, my warranty should have expired some time last year probably. Is it necessary to flash a stock firmware as base before a custom, or can I flash a custom firmware immediately? Not sure if there are any hoops to jump through to flash over a knox bootloader
I'm not an expert but I was in the same situation as u. I flashed the new bootloader+modem, and was able to flash roms also without any problems.
I'm on BMG4 bootloader but that really isn't that important from what I've seen, pretty much custom roms and kernels support old bootloaders.
What is important however is what modems you use, you can use any GSM (MODEM.BIN (edge,3gh)) but you ccan not use just any 4G modem (NON-HLOS.BIN) if you are using old bootloader (no knox) the highest 4G modem you can use is BMH1, anything newer than that then you will usually loose sound and WiFi function.
Here's my phone info

As the topic suggest, I bought a G900W8 brand new with 5.0 installed.
Not sure if downgrading to 4.4.2 is at all possible, especially since the people at Samsung said I couldn't
But I figured i'd try and see if anyone here knows if this will trip knox flasing with Odin
I have downloaded the 4.4.2 for telus rom from sammobile and waiting to see for any input

I downgraded my s5 from 5.0 to 4.4.2 via odin without tripping knox, so i don't see why it would trip for you.
You can flash any stock Samsung ROM without tripping KNOX
Only time KNOX will trip is if you flash anything Custom

Strange, even if you hit the Edit pencil button?
Might be worth trying one of these Data toggle widgets

Yep, even after hitting the edit pencil. Toggles don't seem to work on Android 5 because of a security hole plugged. Which is why I was curious about downgrading because I hear it's available in 4.4.2,but worried about tripping KNOX since this my first new phone in years, didn't want to risk voiding my warranty yet
hi all. Is there any chance that an oreo update will make knox 0x0 again ?? I am asking this becouse u know what problems does the warranty void. i installed from odin uk btu version of official sam firmware and have access to updates but hardly passed through the s health problem. i searched for solutions but only hope is if oreo will do any trick. so please if anyone has any info about that reply
Forget about it. Once tripped there is no way to reset Knox.
Nope, knox will not be restored by a firmware upgrade. Do not get your hopes up. It isn't being restored in the Oreo betas aswell.
I think the only way that knox could be restored is due to a mistake by Samsung

No. I won't say 100% but 98. Some one may crack it today tomorrow or in 10p years but do not get your hopes up
knox is hardware based. 99.99999999% uncrackable
No. Knox trigger it's physical and not a software solution. It's an fuse on your phone mainboard. It's literally a physical damage. No software update will fix it
the only way to reset it is by changing out the main board or repairing the fuse that is blown out.

Good luck with that. That e-fuse is located inside SoC.
And about replacing the mainboard... One should pay for a new mainboard, probably spending some money to pay someone to replace it in order to avoid being needed to pay to repair another defect? Does it sounds logical to you?
A motherboard for S8 costs £320-360. Plus another 50ish quid for labour. Would take you to £370-410. You can buy another S8 with those money
