Hi! I know if I flash a firmware or a root file,it will set KNOX to 0x1.Ok,but I will buy the phone without warranty.I just want to know one thing
Will flashing a firmware bring up a yellow triangle?And can it be removed via Triangle Away? Or will it show anything else beside the 0x1 KNOX?
Please, take anything you want just don't give me the triangle, the dreaded triangle of death.... haha
I don't know if the n3 has a triangle but I do know that chainfire the author said his tools do not work on knox devices. So no triangle away.
I just rooted my Note 3, no triangle

Sorry for stupid question guys but as far as I know if KNOX is set to 0x1 it can't be restored and your warranty is void for all the time,right?

Yup, speculation is that there is a type of efuse that once blown is irreversible. And yes the KNOX warranty is void. Now whether or not a carrier representative (if carrier branded) will know to check this flag and deny you is another matter.
Thanks @Pliind
This knox warranty.
Is it triggered if a official firmware is flashed via odin?
Like i have an 02UK n3.
With my s4 i just changed CSC flashed BTU rom and viola.
Doing this on n3 voids that warranty?
So I wanna get this straight! When I get my Note 3 from Verizon, if I deny Knox on my first boot I will lose my warranty. Which I am OK with, but can I flash a custom recovery and ROM and root with no issues??

No. Denying a Knox prompt is the least of our problems with Verizon. In order to flash a custom ROM, we have to unlock the bootloader or get around it with Loki or SafeStrap in order to install a custom recovery.
It is possible to root a phone with a fully locked bootloader and without a custom recovery, however (like the S4)

Hmm really considering just keeping my S3 now. So if I purchased a international note 3 from eBay I would have a unlocked bootloader but wouldn't be able to receive 4G data from Verizon in the USA? Right?

Correct, If having an unlocked bootloader is crucial to you, I'd wait until you see what the development community comes up with on the initial release of Note 3's or just wait to buy the Developer Edition 3-8 weeks later. You know that variant will have an unlocked bootloader, but you'll also have to pay full price.

Not with locked bootloader, no. But there's a chance it could be modified if we get that magic key.
I will pretty much go with the stock ROM and a kernel with CWM and root.I do not want to install CM or AOKP,because I will loose the function,like S Pen menu,etc...Maybe I will install a custom ROM based on stock

Hello guys, i have recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500. I switched from ios to android and i am loving it so far. I have a couple of questions: I want to root my device. Does this affect the binary counter? Also if i have a problem with my device and i have warranty, will i be able to format my device (un-root)? Also will this affect binary counter? I don't want to loose my 2 years warranty. Thanks!
PS: While i was on IOS i received a lot of support on reddit but when i asked for android stuff, i never got any response. Is this the right forum for a beginner like me?

1)Yes rooting will affect your binary counter.
2) Yes you can unroot your device to gain back warranty.
BUT the binary counter is HIDDEN!
So you can just reset the STATUS(which is official for stock n custom for unofficial)
There is an app called Triangle away which resets this counter but it only available for i9505 n not for i9500.
you have one more problem that is Knox In some service centers do not pay attention to it, but in others lose two year warranty on the phone

Yes absolutely a problem. I forgot to mention it. If any unofficial stuff is flashed then this knox pox is triggered.

First have a look on the stickies of Knox discussion. You wont get official software updates if you trip knox(as recovery is custom aftr rooting) n there are knox friendly rooting methods. But I dont really care about knox and after rooting it is upto you that you aint flashing anything wrong or not following the instructions. All the best.

I personally am currently with stock firmware
Twice my phone was in service for Knox experiments that I did
Had twice to change the motherboard, but it was replaced under warranty because I have a version that my phone and just motherboard died and there is nothing to see in the Samsung service centre
Knox is a major obstacle
The choice is yours

As I said previously that you should know what are you flashing and what will happen after it. If you flash anything by not following the correct procedure then you ll pay for it. I rooted my s4 3 months ago and immediately took a backup of my OS through a custom recovery. This backup helps me if something gets wrong. And I really dont care about about Knox because what you lose is only OTA updates and nothing else. So after rooting even you can backup your OS n stay on stock as long you want. Choice is yours. All the best.

As stock recovery of the phone changes there will be no OTA updates for that device it ll say THE DEVICE SETTINGS HAS BEEN CHANGED or something similar to it. And stock recovery is replaced by philz touch or cwm while rooting. And side by side this knox pox is also triggered.

If your warranty will be void depends strongly on in which country you live. There is no yes or no answer.
Flash anything but an official Samsung package through Odin and it will trigger the Knox flag and change the device status to Custom. OTA updates will stop.
Re flashing an official Samsung package afterwards will change the device back to Official and OTA updates will resume. But the Knox flag will still show as triggered. Theres no way to reset it.

Flash this in Odin: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/jfltecri/philz_touch_6.15.4-jfltecri.tar.md5
Or what do you want to do excatly?
@Tkkg1994 So here's what I've done:
Use TowelRoot to root my device. It is currently on 4.4.2.
I have booted into download and saw these, so I know I'm good here:
Knox Kernel Status: 0x0
Knox Warranty Status: 0x0
I would like to install a custom recovery on my device as well as custom ROM.
1. I saw CyanogenMod's guide (here) to installing a custom recovery then custom ROM. Will this guide trip the Knox flag for the recovery OR the ROM?
2. (Knox, as I understand it, is for warranty purposes only, correct?)
3. If that guide will trip Knox than are there any you know I should follow for a custom recovery and custom ROM?
4. Also, which subsection of S4 would I be able to install ROMs from? I've seen the jfltespr lump in the jfltecri a bunch when I search. Would most sprint ROMs work for the Cricket S4?
5. And lastly, if I do not care about Knox, does it matter how I go about installing the recovery and ROM? (I know what I'm doing flashing wise, I've owned a GNex, Nexus 5, few tablets, etc) Just pushing the recovery.img via adb then flashing a ROM? Cricket does not offer warranties and if I ever flashed it to sprint I wouldn't get a warranty so does warranty really matter?
Thanks for the help and sorry for being long winded. If you do decide to GRACIOUSLY answer, could you kinda format them like mine so I can follow along? Thanks!

1. Yes it will trip your knox, because you don't have the original firmware on your phone, it only can be tripped once. For both things.
2. Yes, you're right there.
3. Question is, have you got a problem when your knox will be tripped?
4. The Sprint ones should work fine. I would make a backup in the recovery and try a sprint rom.
5. If you don't care about it, it's don't really matter how you do it. I would flash Philz Touch through Odin3.09 and than install your custom rom in the recovery
Sorry that I answered that late, didn't saw your post before. Sorry again!
Hello,
I have a galaxy s4 on 4.4.2 that I rooted using kingroot a while back. It is a US Cellular SCH-R970. Knox has not been tripped. Under device status it says the phone is custom. This means I cannot update to 5.0.1.
My question is, how would I return the phone to official status without 1. Tripping knox, and 2. Keeping all of my data. Also, do you know if I can root with kingroot once I get on 5.0.1.
Baseband is R970TYUFNK1.
Thank You!
Hi,
Flash a proper complete stock firmware via ODIN. Firmware for R970TYUFNK1 is R970TYUFNK1 (itself).

SamMobile, Samsung Updates, or via SamFirm app. I usually rely on SamFirm.
Edit: As long as Re-partition and NAND Erase All is unticked on Odin, it should be fine.

It would be wise to backup and wipe data before flashing. Otherwise you might encounter problems.
And do not use kingoroot to root lollipop. It used to not work or cause problems. Use cf autoroot method, if your device is supported.

Having knox triggered is just a bunch of crap from Samsung to scare you. Unless you actually use knox. Or if you are afraid from losing your warranty. Which is also crap, because, whilst reading the warranty file, I saw that it won't cover water damage, it won't cover a broken screen and a bunch of other stuff. The only thing it covers is actual hardware failure. And if the phone is new, that's pretty unlikely. Even if it does fail, Samsung has no way to see if knox has been triggered until they change your hardware and are able to boot up the phone. At that point they can't refuse to take it into warranty service anymore.

Wow, that warranty is a load of ****. Also the phone is over a year old so I'd doubt it's still under warranty anyway.
What would you recommend to make a backup? I don't have fast Internet at all (300 kbps down), so I think a local backup would be more efficient.
Thanks for all the help! Have a good Christmas!

Marshmallow roms have been split into gsm and cmda, due to changes in the radio. You have a cmda device.
The initial build of aosp marshmallow was for both cmda and gms devices. The newest build (the december 24th build) is split into two. Gsm version has been released but cmda version needs more work.
So you will have to download the 6th december build which was unified. Or the lollipop builds.
Lollipop builds have a different thread and a different link.
Hi there,
I was wondering if I could get any help regarding my Note 3. I would like to root the device using a Mac.
AP: N905XXUGBOK6
CP: N9005XXUGBOJ1
CSC: N9005DBTGBOI1
Are there any guides out there using Heimdall? I wasnt able to find any.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Maybe flash cfautoroot with Heimdall?
Hey there,
thanks for getting back to me
I checked autoroot*chainfire*eu but the Build Number is a different one (LRX21V.N9005XXUGBOA5). Im not sure if this will work?
I know Samsung has different versions of the same ROM (e.g. 4.4.2, 5.01, etc.) and I never worried about that. I would just flash Chainfire's KK if I was running any KK stock ROM or LP file if I was running any stock LP ROM.
If you want to flash it a different way, you could flash TWRP using Odin and then flash supersu from TWRP.
So there are multiple ways to root a device?
Regarding the Chainfires ROMs: "If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device". How do I avoid this? Can I somehow check if my bootloader is unlocked?
Regarding TWRP:
Would those be the two things I need for this method?

1- You have the international variant of note 3 (SM-N9005) and a german region code (CSC=DBT), so yes your bootloader is unlocked.
2- Yes, use "twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar" and you should be good.

- If you want only root and keep your device's warranty, go for CF-Autoroot.

No
Will the KNOX Counter get trigger regardless of how I flash a a custom rom?
Knox will always be tripped when rooting or flashing any non-official Samsung firmware for the phone.
Knox is not a big deal in my opinion unless there is warranty left on the phone.
So 2017 passed and I didn't root my phone. /o\ However, I just deleted a few pictures by accident which I would like to recover. I read that this might be possible with a rooted phone and PhotoRec. Whats the current method to root the Note 3 on a Mac?

Can I know which method is the best to root this phone? Mainly which custom ROM should I use as the battery life is an issue plus I only use this phone for solely gaming purpose only(didn't even inserted a simcard in)!

Battery Life stick with stock rom .
