Hey Guys!
I am on the Polish official Lollipop Rom, rooted with Knox 0x0. Because of random reboots caused by the old bootloader I want to sell my phone. I need to unroot and install another stock rom (same version, but with the branding my phone had). I have often read "flashing original firmware does not trigger knox" and my guess is I can propably unroot with supersu, uninstall all the root apps, reactivate all the knox apps and flash the complete rom (including the much needed bootloader of course) and be on the save site.
Since I have lived with Knox for 1 year now (and thats enough for a lifetime), coming all the way from DeLaVega, I just want to be sure I do not trigger it afterall. So please tell me, is it safe or could the old bootloader be problem when flashing with odin for example?
Current:
Bootloader: N9005XXUENA6
CSC: N9005XEOGBOA4
PDA: N9005XXUGBOA5
Kernel: 3.4.0-3643614
The one I need to flash:
PDA: N9005XXUGBOA5
CSC: N9005VFGGBOA2
Thank you so much for any help!

How does the Knox flag behave in case of downgrading FW? I have N9005 and would like to upgrade FW to latest unbranded FW with Odin. What happens if I want to downgrade to older version of FW (all including knox)? My carrier unfortunately seldomly updates FW but I will need to downgrade in case of warranty need... Currently I run AP: XXUBMJ1 and CSC: MOTBMJ1. Would downgrade trip Knox flage?
Who knows?
Hi guys,
As you know I'm fairly new here. I just want to ask if (as far as I've read) based on this POST http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498850, I'm running a Baseband Version of N9005XXUDMJ7. It says here that if I root, I will trip Knox but I won't be upgrading. Just rooting. If I continue with this process will I trip Knox?

You are altering system files, you will trip Knox... Doesn't matter that you're not changing rom.
If you were, as long as it was a stock firmware and the right bootloader, you wouldn't trip Knox...

What do you a stock firmware? I would get my firmware from sammobile. So what you're saying is that if I just root I'll trip Knox. But if I change my rom I won't?
So I should just follow the video on RDLV?
Sorry. Running a celeron processor of a brain here. -_-

De la Vega says: "If you are running MJ4, MJ7, MK1, MK2 or higher you can still root, but you will trip KNOX!"
Your firmware is MJ7 so you will trip Knox.
As you are on MJ7 it would be easier to just flash cf-autoroot... You will trip knox but easier to use.
You would trip Knox anyway and there's more steps using URDLV...
On the other hand if you want a different region rom on your Note 3 then you can pretty much just pick and flash a stock rom (as long as the new bootloader is in it) with no fear of tripping Knox....
Just don't think you can go back to MI7 or MJ1 to use URDLV to root without tripping Knox as they have the old bootloader that will see you boot looping until you reflash a newer version of stock rom with the new bootloader.
I want a root and have bad kernel who dont allow root whit toelroot.
I installed firmware from neighborhood country whit same kernel.
What if i want to return in my FW ? Will be trigger knox ? Will be have some problem ?

I think ur bootloader has been upgraded as well.
if the same ND shld be no problem. but from ND to Nc, i dun think can.
because earlier I upgrade to nd3 bootloader, and when I flash nc2 custom rom, it got problem bootloop nd when I can go through home screen, FC everywhere freeze nd reboot.

Except bootloop is any chance to activate knox ? I want to try, if i get bootloop i will flash again second FW.
Only thing who scare me is a triggering knox.
I have problem whit active memo and direct pen.
When i flash second FW and root he functional normaly. Instal xposed and wanam xposed working good.
But when i install adaway, lg g3 keyboard and some aplication then my active memo and direct pen stop working.
This is second time i reflash other FW
I know some will say dont instal this conflict apk but i dont know what app in future may couse problem and i dont have to return backup.
I cant reflash any time when i get problem.
What in you opinion is good FW to flash ?

Sorry, my english is not so good, because now I'm a bit confused. Earlier you were saying you want to try TowerRoot ?
and now you are sayin that you have root already, with a working xposed & wanam ?
So, basically, you have a rooted firmware already ? Then why do you need TowelRoot ?
Isn't it if you have working root on KK (existing firmware), means your KNOX tripped ? Because if it does, reflashing firmware / rerooting with TowelRoot won't help your KNOX warranty bit.
But, answering to your question, flashing original firmware won't trip the KNOX (if your KNOX still 0x0), bcause, KNOX will only trip if the system being injected / flashed with 3rd party system file which is not digitally signed by Samsung.

hi
i have n9005 from germany dist. i want N9005XXUEND3 and XEO, so can i just reflash n9005 via Odin with N9005XXUEND3 without trip knox to 0x1 ?
i want N9005XXUEND3 because it's last XEO dist. and towellroot working ok with this ( i know i can flash N9005XXUEND3 kernel -dead wifi- make towelroot and reflash back to previous kernel to enable root).
so to make story shor can i reflash this firmware without fears of 0x1 etc.. ?
As long as you're flashing a stock kernel it wont trip knox
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
i made reflash odin 3.09 firmware N9005XXUEND3_N9005XEOEND2_N9005XXUENC2_HOME.tar.md5 during system.img.ext4 flash i saw info on LCD "invalid percent of drawig...." after this i have knox 0x1, very sad...

You are trying to downgrade from FNG2 to END3 firmware and it is not possible.
That may brick your device
i reflash with N9005XXUFNG2_N9005ATOFNG1_N9005XXUFNG2_HOME.tar.md5 then sound back to work, also during flashing system there was no "invalid ..."
after this i made update via phone menu (intenet+wifi) to latest N9005XXUGNG1_N9005ATOGNG1_N9005XXUGNG1_HOME.tar.md5 but knox 0x1 stayed
then i made root:
flash odin >> KERNEL_N9005XXUEND3.tar.md5 (got custom status) << then use towelroot than flash back to KERNEL_N9005XXUGNG1.tar.md5 and status changed to official .... but knox 0x1 still there...
hi again.
now there is android 5.0. Of course i got info and tried to update phone via wifi but after it download firmware (over 810mb) during recovery flash it end at 29% with ERROR message than suggest to use KIES so can i now use POLAND XEO firmware:
Code:
Model SM-N9005
Model name GALAXY Note 3 LTE
Country Poland
Version Android 5.0
Changelist 3643614
Build date Wed, 25 Feb 2015 12:57:23 +0000

Hey everyone, I really need help.
I've been looking for answers for a long time and found nothing, I'm getting desperate.
I have a SM-N9005 with COO as original CSC code (Colombia)
CSC Version : N9005UUBBMI1
PDA version : N9005VJUBMI7
Baseband version: N9005VJUBMI6
Android 4.3. Knox 0x0
I don't want to trip knox and I don't really need to root I just want to update. However if I can root without loosing warranty and knox 0x1 I could try,
I want to update my Android but Colombia doesn't go anywhere beyond 4.3 so my questions are.
-Can I download a KitKat firmware from another country from SamMobile and install it using odin?
-What country should I use?
-Do I have to wipe all my data?
-Will Knox trip?
-Should I go with 5.0 Lollipop or stick with Kitkat and wait?
-Bluetooth and Wifi will be fine?
-Where can I do all of this if it is possible?
I know they're a lot of questions, but if you can answer them you would save me a lot of time and pain.
Thanks.

UUB is a multi-CSC firmware, it includes COO (Colombia) and CHO (Chile).
Open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser', enter UUB into the CSC textbox and tap Go button to search, you will see that there is 4.4.2 firmware on the top of the list (N9005VJUFNG3). You can download that firmware and flash via Odin.
All things should be fine. No need to wipe anything. No data will be lost. Knox counter will be safe.
