Just a general tip! Do NOT activate this if rooted! It will put you in bootloop immediately. I actually tried it twice. So it's a promise. Saves you some hours.
Learned this just the day we received 5.1.1 update and I wasn't agree to upgrade yet but I was obligated to hehe

hi Bro, i was playing around with my phone and i just activated the knox protection. am rooted with pingpong and the knox counted is 0x0.
please any idea to start up my phone. thanks
Reflash fw with Odin. Just use the same fw as your current. It will remove root and other root-related changes and restore bloat, but your apps with data will be there. I learned that lesson twice...
Just saw this thread, learned the hard way last night, went into boot-loop over and over, did a clean flash, good thing I had backed up all my data minutes before!
my phone was rooted, now that I have returned to branded rom, konx not work, says that the phone was modified? i can not install it again

I rooted my S5 model SM G900T using Oden3 v 3.07 plus CF-Auto-Root-kltetmo-kltetmo-smg900t.tar.md5 send donation to chainfire. This was four days ago. All was better than fine until yesterday afternoon, then I tried to connect to a local hot spot. The phone said strong signal but could not connect.
Last thing I did was to run Pry-Fi didn't really understand the app so shut it down or I think I did, then after returning home I noticed while trying to connect to Google play store it said no network available.
Under settings WiFi the on off toggle is grayed out, it will flash green briefly when I go into advanced but it will not turn on.
Under App info WiFi Direct v everything is grayed out data is Zero and no cache is Zero
WiFi Direct Share is OK
I have a full Titanium Backup in Drop Box if that helps.
On the phone its Mobile ODIN Pro v 4.20 showing Kernel none Recovery none and on and on. Would like to have a nice ROM installed, but not there yet.
So I also think I didn't install something right
IMEI is present in software
I do have root that was my goal, but never to lose WiFi Oooh Mii God
What the heck is KNOX? Maybe its my router gosh

After flashing CF auto root, you tripped the knox fuse. That will give you a 0x1 status. This is only an issue if you need warranty, some say it voids it, others say not always. But once it's tripped it can't be undone. (and will have NO effect on Wi-Fi)
Are you on a stock original rom or a custom rom, did you uninstall pry-fi, and what else did you install.

Pry-fi is broken. I had similar issues after using it. Check my reply & fix in the pry-fi thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55449565&postcount=405

I don't think I installed anything but Pri Fy after rooting was assured then the app No-frills CPU Control,. I did not install a custom ROM. If it were the flash to auto root I would think I would have lost the wifi at that point not two days latter, I don't really know what Knox is but by having the stock software and resetting the phone to factory default I am sure I have not lost warranty as I have not damaged the phone. WiFi direct has no Cache or data
So I have to think maybe its related to Pri Fy
Thanks for the reply, I am late for work and would like to troubleshoot Pri Fy now and what it really does in relation to the other programs. As bkraptor in his post Pri Fy is broken so there seems to be issues with it. How ever his solution is in an area I have not venture yet.
Thanks again
this should give you tons of info on knox, but once tripped you can't untrip, you go from 0x0 to 0x1 permanently.

Thanks for the info about KNOX, voiding the warranty is not a primary concern. My primary concern is WIFI because I use it as my primary way I use the phone at home. It leaves my phone almost useless. I followed the link about Pri Fi but I never saw a solution for the S5 is there a clear work around. Should I use the warranty that I am paying for with the carrier and pay the deductible for a new phone. Wow I wish I could turn back the hands of time now, or have bought a different phone.
I really need a working phone with wifi, I can't lose it totally LOL.

Did you happen to make a back up of your rom before you installed pri-fy, if so you could wipe and install that, or you could download a custom Rom and try that. At worst you can down load a stock version of your rom and install with Odin and it will be fixed.

No I didn't make a back up before Pri Fi, I still have the stock ROM in the phone. Titanium didn't make a back up as I had thought or it put it somewhere other then where I supposed it to be. The phone is more wacked more then I thought I get line drops like crazy but maybe it was using wifi more then I thought. Thanks for helping me, where can I find a good stable ROM for this S5 now that I am in so deep might as well go all the way. I have insurance on the phone if I lost it and I almost lost it today, looked and looked for that thing. I have rooted several phones without issue, but one did brick but Samsung sent me a new one no problem, yet I have never tried to install a custom Rom.

Titanium b/u only backs up your apps not your whole rom.
If your on a 900t,i would check this thread out, it is stock and needs odin but should be close to what you have now. (you would want the full tar version, not just the modem and bootloader)
Stock, odin flashable
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57068686
If you have a t-mobile this is a great custom rom, You need a custom recovery like twrp or CWM as well for this option.
I like this recovery

I tried to update trwp from 2.7 to 2.8.0.1 with safestrap. I don't know what I was thinking. Now the phone will not boot. It says secure fail:recovery, them something about system software not authorized by verizon.. I am trying to find a way to reload safestrap to the phone without having to start from scratch. Please help. Note 3 retail, rooted.
Update: after staying up all night doing everything I could think of to no avail, I took the phone to a Verizon store. I made up some **** and bull story and the guy took my phone in back. He came back a few minutes later with a big grin. He had fixed it, and everything was intact. When the phone rebooted he saw the safestrap and smiled at me knowingly, but not a word was said. I need to stop screwing with my phone late and night when I'm tired. Lesson learned.

Hello Everyone
I need urgent help as my phone is not working and it is too irritating to keep switching it on and off. Just to give a brief history of my phone, I rooted it 3 months back thru ODIN, I actually wanted to install xmod games and that required a root. The root went fine and my purpose was solved.
Now today after three months my phone yesterday I got a message for software update and on which i clicked, it said i can't update it and post that the phone is constantly hanging and restarting. Launching an app seems to take ages. I am seriously very annoyed. I thought it is the root hence I clicked on full unroot and uninstalled SuperSU. But this didn't solve the problem.
The KNOX counter reads 0x1 (4) warranty void. I am unable to use the phone for a single minute and its heating up too much.
I want to know what to do next.
Should I flash a custom rom? If yes please suggest some. ( my model is 910G factory unlocked)
Should I flash a factory rom?
Should I re-root & set counter to 0 using triangle away and then try to update it over wifi?
Any other suggestions?
From what I have read lurking around XDA, if you are on stock ROM with root capabilities, you can't use OTA updates, you must use odin. You can download the stock 5.1.1 for your model/region on Sammobile. Also, you may find the ROM you need here on XDA hope I could help.
Hi,
I'm new to Android so please help me. About 2 days ago i bought a Samsung S6 edge +, everything it's working fine on it except the battery... even when i take him out off the charger in Battery section says that i have only 10 H aprox to go with it...is this normal? And the big problem is that if i leave him with 80% battery, in the morning i have only 32% with background apps closed before sleep. I mention that i have 6.0.1 on it and i have warranty so i don't realy want to root the phone or something that will make me lose the warranty.
Thank you!

Hello Snapydj, I think the problem can be caused by any app you installed. For be sure, first thing is restart de phone in safe mode (you can search how to do it here in this fórum) and see the behaviour of the phone in terms of battery. If the problem persists, try a full wipe and don't install immediately any app from play store. See the behaviour and then install apps one by one and observe battery drain. After all these steps if the problem continue you must send it to warranty.
I wonder I could help you.
Regards

Hi,
I searched yesterday a couple of hours on forums and i think i find the answer. There are many threads that says that it is a known problem for S6 and S6 edge, they called it Deep Sleep problem. But any fix for it that i can find is with root, and i don't want to root the phone... I can't post external link because i am a new user on this forum...

Not at all. Yes, there is a deep sleep problem but is not the case of you certainly, because even with deep sleep issue in S6 edge+, it doesn't make battery drain like you have. I can say to you that my battery drain over the night isn't more than 1 to 2% per hour. So your phone has a abnormal battery drain for a regular S6 edge+ with stock rom. I remember you that my phone is standard, not rooted
Check your knox in bootloader. Maybe your phone has root before you buy it. Turn off . Press volume down, home and power button. Relase it when green screen appears. Then continue. Check info about knox warranty. There should be all 0. If you see somewhere 1 it will means that your phone has root before.

Hi,
I checked there and you're right. Appears void 1 but I checked with a program and says that the phone doesn't have root. I took the phone before I used it on a service shop to unlock to work on all carriers because was locked on single one. Maybe that's why appears void 1 there right ? I flashed myself yesterday afternoon the last build for 6.0.1 and now I'm waiting to see if something changed.. And then I restore to factory settings and then cleaned wipe partition.

Hi ,
I want to share with you the fix i found. So... as you know , i have flashed another build of 6.0.1 , the general version for Romania. This still hasen't fix my problem, but last night after reading more post, i saw someone who said that if you have knox tripped to 1 is a known bug to have battery drain and the only fix is to root the phone, so i said that i should try this too. I root the phone with CF root method through Odin and then install CPU Spy and 3Cpu and ... surprise!! ... Cpu's are going to sleep now, and the problem is fixed. I don't need to install anything else (on some forums says that you have to install twrp recovery and the install a zipp).
Now the only question is, i don't know why knox was tripped to 1 ... the phone wasn't rooted before... i read somewhere that even if you flash another stock rom with odin you trigger know , is this true ? Is any method that i can reset the counter after i unroot the phone ? I mean i don't want to lose warranty.
Rooting always trips Knox, and tripping Knox is irreversible.

I don't think you understand. Knox was already tripped before I root the phone. And only thing has happened before was flashing another stock rom on the phone.

I understand, you don't.
Your phone had been previously rooted. Whenever and whoever unrooted it at a later date is irrelevant - knox is tripped.
You asked if there is any other method to reset the counter. The answer is no.

Hey guys,
I could use your expertise and help.
After updating my stock Note 4 Att variant from 5.1.1. to 6.0.1, I came back to my phone powered off. After turning it back on it freezes at the Att logo screen. Trying to boot into safe mode was a no go so I tried booting into recovery. Everything looked go for a second, I was greeted with an installing updates animation but that quickly was shut down and I got the "dm-verity verification failed..." error.
I tried wiping the cache and doing a factory reset. Talking with att technical support was no help at all. They basically told me if wiping the cache and factory reset didn't work I would have to get the phone replaced and pay a $150 deductible. I'm not paying them another dime when their update bricked my phone
So I'm here heart in hand hoping you guys could help me out. I did root my note 2 back in the day but forgot most of what it entails and was pretty bummed when I found out there was no root for the note 4. So I'm not a total noob but bear with me.
I did try Kies 3 but my phone wont connect. I tried off, on and in recovery still nothing.
Searching online it seems like most of the solutions require root access which this phone doesn't have. It also looks like it needs the stock firmware but most of the links I found here and elsewhere are dead, and sammobile doesn't have them either.
So what should I do? Am I out of options? Should I junk it cause Att sucks? Any sort of direction would be a big help! :highfive:

Make sure samsung kies or samsung usb drivers are installed on your pc.
Download stock marshmallow firmware and flash through odin .this method does not require root.
After flashing dont let the phone boot just go to recovery and wipe cache+wipe data factory reset then reboot.
Wait 10 to 15 minutes.
Stock rom link.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651430732238073
Extract file and choose AP tab in odin.
Upload firmware file then connct device via usb cable to pc.
Hit start in odin.
You're the man! Not only did you save my phone, you stuck it to Att's money grubbing hands in one fell swoop. People will write songs about you, you'll go down in the history books as the man, the myth, the legend! People will swoon in your presence!
In all seriousness though you're awesome! Thank you!
One last question, will I be able to use the ota updates from here? Not that I would be too comfortable using them after this debacle, just wondering if they should work.

Thanks for the compliment. you just made me feel like i am a Hercules :victory:
If you want my advice dont ever take ota updates.
Just go to www.sammobiles.com/firmwares and grab latest rom for your model and flash in odin as you did.
Latest rom comes with the same security patch update the 1 comes in ota.
I personally do this way all the time.
Hope that helps and have a good day.
