After 2 years being on a MDM bootloader to avoid knox ,i decided to flash it, to make lolipop roms work correctly. After flashing it I booted back to download mode to flash recovery and there are no signs of a knox counter there. I even checked the system and knox was installed under apps. Running danvdh's 5.0.2 GPE rom now. any ideas what is up?
Ok, somehow, bootloader and baseband didnt stick, any idea why?

Hello Guys,
Let's start with the story :
Old Bootloader, Stock Kernel , PhilZ CMW and Rom XXUDMBA with Chainfire Root.
Then i've installed through CMW the Know Free XXMI1, with Adam Kernel and Modem XXMI1 and still CMW Philz.
Suddenly my phone started to get crazy. Not able to receive calls, pohone freeze , screen blinking etc... Tried with factory and wipe but stucked on S4 logo (not even the samsung one)
Installed, through Odin, the MH8 pre-rooted, Modem MH8, Stock Kernel.
Now i've the new Bootloader, Knox Status stil 0x0, New Modem and New Rom. Everything is working but i've a question.
If i would like to have back the Philz Custom Recovery, flashing with odin, the Knox status will reach 0x1 ?
And why now my device says that my status is modified. I have stock kernel, recovery, rom (just knox free).
and if i would like to update the Rom with a stock one, with knox and all the other s***t, do i need to go necessary through Odin ? because OTA are compromised.
Last question is : Is the wifi-fix mandatory ? i don't know how to know if my wifi has problem. So far seems to work perfectly.

Modified because its pre-rooted...
Flashing anything through ODIN will change the void warranty from 0x0 to 0x1 unless its a stock rom (from MH8 up otherwise you will soft brick)....
You might be able to get rid of the modified status if you flash a totally stock rom but who wants to do that?
So the next question is :
If i would like to flash a new pre-rooted or custom rom i'll void my knox anyway. Because now i have stock recovery and this mean that i can flash only through Kies to a stock Rom right ?
Flashing a custom recovery with Odin (Knox 0x1)
Flashing a stock pre-rooted rom with Odin (Knox 0x1)
Flashing a stock rom newer then mine with kies or Odin (Knox 0x0)
am i right ? so i'm stucked on this ROM in other words, unless i'll just don't care about Knox.
So I sold my buddy the note 3. It was rooted so I flashed a 4.42 stock firmware back on, knox is already tripped. Apparently there's an update for the device and the msg when he tries to update is software has been modified. I download root checker and it is indeed no rooted. Any ideas?
Because knox has been tripped to 0x1, that phone can never updated via ota or the samsung app. You must now download a updated stock rom, or some other fancy rom. Untill someone can fix knox back to 0x0... This is the only way to upgrade.
Experienced this running stock rom and all (recovery, boot etc). But knox is already 0x1. When i was running XTC (Philippine stock kk rom) i get the message about modified software when checking with ota. But when I use XSG(is the csc correct for Singapore?) And try to do an ota it downloaded the update without a problem.
Heres what you can do use triangle away to reset thr binary recovery to official then flash stock rom and see if you can do an ota without any problems.
Ok so I'd like to put AllianceROM on my international version SM-G900F H3G UK model.
To do so, my plan is to downgrade lollipop to 4.4.2 stock, root with TowelRoot, then install the ROM through Mobile Odin Pro (to preserve the KNOX counter). I've just tried to flash 4.4.2 onto the phone, but I cannot get it to start at all after it's flashed. The phone just hangs on the Three (H3G) boot animation.
I'm hoping that I've just got confused with the Sammobile site and that I've just flashed the wrong 4.4.2 firmware (so far tried flashing ANG2 and ANE2). Something I should have checked earlier but I just thought they were updated versions of the same ROM).
If I can't successfully boot into 4.4.2, I'd like to try flashing lollipop to retrieve some files I forgot to backup (another silly mistake). I'm not sure whether I can take files off it through the ADB sideload or whatever but if I have to lose all my data then I'm not too bothered.
What's the best way to go about my situation?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Right, thanks man. After flashing lollipop, I can now boot up and back up stuff. I'll flash 4.2.2 again and factory reset.
Anyone have a guide on how to roll back to KK. I tried simply flashing the Stock KK rom but it stalls a Samsung logo. I think its due to the Bootloader which I updated to BOC3 when I installed Lollipop. I can't find the old Bootloader.

Before you flash the KK rom, make sure to Wipe data/Factory reset in recovery, then flash the rom using ODIN, once the procedure is complete, return to recovery and wipe data one more time. This should fix the issue and your phone will boot normally.

I had the same after flashing KitKat and then wiping cache. I had to factory reset from recovery for it to boot normally.
Currently lollipop N910c .BOC5
thinking of going back to kit kat.have not tried because it updated to lollipop immediate when purchased.
Anyone who did that.. did you check knox 0x0 ???
Flashing stock firmware through Odin will not trigger Knox 0x1, but keep in mind you'll have to factory reset your device.
Flashed back to KK
I have got a UK N910F and flashed a German ROM this ROM literally ate my battery, after reading this thread I wiped the phone and flashed KK and that worked, prior to this I tried to revert to KK (when I was on 5.0.1) and I could not revert back as I was stuck on boot loop..............Many Thanks
For 5 month ițm looking for a method to dongrade from lollipop to kitkat. I want to know if is there any method to do that withou tripping knox (only tested methodes). PLSSS!!!
I downgraded to Kitkat. My phone was not rooted and original status. Downloaded stock kitkat rom. Factory reset the phone.
Flashed with odin. Rebooted. My phone got stuck at the Samsung Logo. I solved this by rebooting into recovery and wiping cache.
Then it booted fine. knox 0x0. Showing Samsung original Status . Knox application works also.
Which Lollipop firmware (bootloader, PDA, CSC and baseband version) did you have prior to downgrading? Which KitKat firmware did you downgrade to?
