Hello again,
I'm not sure if I can replace my Note 3 under warranty FOC with the status screen at recovery showing the following messages :
Current Binary : Samsung Official
System Status : Custom
Knox Kernel Lock : 0x0
Knox Warranty Void : 0x0
I'm just worried about the System Status : Custom message. Is that a problem?
I unrooted using the method explained in this thread and this link directly takes to my post in that thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46511887#post46511887
Do I have to do anything else for replacement under warranty?
Thank you for any information.
Remove SD card and reboot. Then check status again.
Or you can just Flash stock room through Odin and it will all be official again.

Thank you. I flashed the official latest rom and everything is official again.
But why do I read so many times that flashing custom roms will void warranty, if this can be reverted by flashing official roms?
Is it that the knox will be tripped to 0x1? I flashed using the method I mentioned above but my knox stayed at 0x0...

Most custom roms require a custom recovery to be installed, this will trip Knox. Also most custom roms have altered kernels, this too will trip Knox.
You have simply gained root without replacing the recovery or the kernel.

There's a bit of murky waters regarding the warranty if knox is tripped. But recently Samsung have said knox tripping does not affect warranty. But to be on the safe side some people decide to not trip knox. There are ways to root and flash custom roms without trooping knox but not if you are on one of the latter bootloaders.
Once knox is tripped there is no going back as it stands. ..... But if you like to customize your phone and make it look and feel much nicer .... Who gives a foookk .....I for one don't?
Also knox can be tripped flashing stock firmware using odin.... If you are unlucky. ..

Thank you all for the Knox explanations. That cleared up some doubts of mine.
My phone is S4-i337M.with samsung MVLUEMK6 4.3.
After rooting or installing CWM in ODIN i noticed that knox warranty shows 0x1.
Phone boots normally - no issue. It safely can go to download mode.
Question: Is it OK to install custom roms without outright chance of bricking. (I understand the risk of bricking with any modification)
Thanks in advance.
Any suggestion, please?
Yes, you can install custom roms even though Knox has been tripped.

You might as well go all out and install custom everything, since Knox is already tripped anyway.
Hi
I have just rooted my N9005 with towelroot, simple and easy. My knox warranty void is still 0x0, and I would like to keep it like that.
So what can I do without trickering 0x0?
I have heard that a simple CSC change and a hard reset can tricker it,
Can I safely factory reset my Note 3, without trickering it?
Any way to install a custom rom without trickering KNOX?
I guess that xposed should be safe.
Any other tricks that I should need to know?
Best regards

Whatever you do never ever flash costume recovery or costume kernel, that'll definitely will set off your knox warranty bit. But it's ok to flash stock kernel/recovery, just make sure they are 100% stock and not modified in any way. As for flashing other roms i suggest you to read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583199

I read about root, but can't find infos about knox.
Just use cf auto root and odex, that's it ?
KNOX is Samsungs way of voiding your warranty, when their hardware is at fault, but you have flashed something custom
0x0 = valid
0x1 = void
Soon as you flash anything custom, 0x1 - and it's irreversible
If you don't care, root using CF Auto Root and ODIN
Or TWRP 2.8.7.0 & ODIN, then SuperSU zip from TWRP recovery
Like I say, everything is posted thousands of times over, if you'd checked the thread below this one, you'd have known what KNOX was

So there is no way to root without loosing knox/warranty?
If you have a pre June 2014 KitKat ROM running, you can root using Towelroot app, then upgrade to Lollipop using Flashfire to keep root / not trip KNOX
That's the only other method

Flashing a stock Samsung ROM will not trip KNOX, so you're safe to flash any stock ROM without worrying about KNOX, KNOX is only tripped by flashing custom stuff not signed by Samsung
But to upgrade to Lollipop without losing root or tripping KNOX, you have to use Flashfire after running Towelroot on KK, otherwise you'll lose root, and then have no other options than flashing back to KK or tripping KNOX by using CF Auto Root

And if i root from kitkat, can i flash custom recovery and flash custom roms without tripping knox ?
I have a problem. My n910f on the factory warranty. I want to upload a custom rom. But what about the warranty? Did I lose it? After installing the root, you can return to sotck version? Please help.

did i lost warranty too if i get back to stock rom before using waranty procedure?
To install a custom rom means you'll trip knox. Tripping knox means you lose warranty. Once you trip knox, there's no going back. Installing stock rom will not untrip the knox e-fuse
