Knox resetting bootloader for Samsung Galaxy S5 Duos? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a knox resetting bootloader for Samsung Galaxy S5 Duos,
like for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3? I've read that there is a way to reset the knox from 0x1 to 0x0 for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in this post :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52329946#post52329946 with a bootloader,so I was wondering If there is a knox resetting bootloader for the Galaxy S5 Duos (SM-
G900FD)?
And is this protocol for resetting the knox from this site : http://mobilexbi.blogspot.mk/2015/02/reset-knox-counter-any-samsung-device.html?m=1 true ???
Thanks in advance!
Best regards!

There are some devices running a combo of a specific SoC/older version of knox that *can* be reset.....Unfortunately this does NOT apply to ANY variant of the S5.
Having read through the guide on your final link, I can say with utter confidence that the method described is purely the method for flashing a stock firmware and has absolutely no effect on knox whatsoever......
If you trip knox on an S5, it's gonna stay tripped....forever....

Dear keithross39,
firstly I would like to thank you for replying to my thread!
And I have one more question:Can Triangleaway somehow help me
p.s And I've read in some posts that some custom roms or recoveries can revert knox to 0x0.Is this true?
And I have an idea:Can the knox be installed and then reinstalled?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards!

Sorry fella....triangle away has nothing to do with knox.....All it does is remove the yellow triangle that appears after rooting and flashing custom software.....as I said in my previous reply, once knox has been tripped, it remains tripped no matter what you flash to the device. The knox counter (according to Chainfire) is hardware based in that it is an 'eFuse' buried somewhere inside one of the 'chips' on the device. When people talk about 'tripping' knox, they are essentially describing this eFuse being 'blown' which is why it can't be reset.
You could flash any/every conceivable combination of rom/kernel/bootloader/app etc continuously for the next 10 years, and it won't make a scrap of difference when it comes to trying to reset knox.......

Got confused about Note 3 and Knox current situation

So guys, i got a little bit confused about knox 0x0 - 0x1 - root - custom roms etc.
I own a note 3, when it was with kitkat i've installed twrp through odin and got "knox 0x1 (1)" then i went with official lollipop firmware, and now i've reflashed twrp for installing cm12.1 getting knox 0x1 (2). From what i understand, there is no way to revert knox to 0x0, isn't it?
If i had a brand new note 3 with lollipop and knox 0x0 could I install custom roms without tripping it? or even get root permissions on the stock rom?
what also keep me confused is: why there are so many alert in the note 3 section on xda about tripping knox while in the s5/s6/note4 sections everything seems to be much easier? can you please explain me?
PS: execuse me if i've had not been so clear but english is not my first language
Nope, the device's virginity is lost, that baby is done, unless you have the Exynos version, where KNOX status could be reset
Thanks for answering. So i got a friend that would like to install the cm12.1 on his knox 0x0 N9005. will he trip it?
Not much idea mate. But I think there is a possibility that he might not trip it, at least I have seen something like that. Obviously the standard method of flashing a ROM via Odin or or from custom recovery will trip it, but I think there's a way to avoid that, not the usual way of course. You might ask to those who have already done it, or in the CM topic itself, if there is one.

Galaxy S5 variants g901f

I have an galaxy S5 plus (G901f) running android 5.0.2 on G901FXXU1BOC4. I searched all over the forum without finding answer.
I want to know if it's easier to root this phone on android 5.0.2 or on 6.0?
I would like to know if there is a method to root without loosing knox waranty or at least reinstall knox waranty on both versions?
Hi!
Root always trigger KNOX counter
Do you want still root your phone?
I really want to root, I always rooted all my phones but for example If it triggers knox. Then somehow I have a problem with the phone and want to send it to the warranty, can I flash a stock rom and get knox back to 0x0?
I meant is there a way to recover knox 0x0 status on a rooted phone?

Some Clarification!!

I have a doubt, i am new to samsung device, and know very less about knox, by rooting will it trip knox counter and void warranty? and is there a way to untrip it and claim the warranty or (unroot the device without any issue by flashing the stock fw via odin) .... (like with sony devices)? can someone explain it to me? Thanks
Rooting may trip or not knox depending the metod you use.Once tripped you cannot revert it,it is forever because you burn a fuse on the mainboard.Flashing a new recovery like TWRP will ALWAYS trip knox.
Rooting it may or may not trip KNOX. Considering that you are posting this question here in the A Series forum, I presume you have one of those devices. I don't think there's any method for our devices to root it without tripping KNOX. Flashing a custom recovery will trip KNOX, as said previously. The only other way is to use CF-Auto-Root, which I haven't actually tried, but I do think that it also trips it.
Which device are you using?
KNOX is like a fuse - once it breaks, there's not any way to reset it. At least not in these devices. Personally, I tripped it (on purpose) the day I got my phone.
Thanks for your replies I am using A5 2016..
I think there is no other way to root this device without triping it?

Check the developer forum for Note 3, there are some hints how to revert KNOX on Exynos devices.

Is Knox flag/triger (0x0) can lock Samsung Knox application if it is (0x1)

Hi !
I have a Galaxy S5 with Knox flag (0x0), my question is if I flash it and I trig it to (0x1) can I still use Samsung Knox application ?
Is it linked or, is the flag is only for the warranty ?
I'm looking for rooting a 4.4.2 with keeping Knox (0x0) but towelroot don't support G900FD, do you have an other software ?
Thanks in advance
Have a good day
Why kitKat? is far beyond from outdated in 2019
Towelroot never worked in versions above android 2.3
any tiny modification will cause the system fingerprint to change, even if your warranty still says 0x0, so it will eventually fail
android nowadays has a lot of security stuff, keep that in mind, samsung dropped knox support
Sorry for the respond time.
Thanks.
Kitkat, to keep Samsung rom.
I have change now !

You can't root 6.0.1 and maintain 0x0.

How to fix Knox 0x1 to 0x0 (Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G950F)

Hi guys, i`ve saw videos, threads and posts about how to fix Knox 0x1 to 0x0 on Galaxy S8 and i didnĀ“t find anything, so...i will try here with another thread because the last one was 2 years ago and maybe someone have a solution.
I`ve rooted my device and after all i saw that Secure Folder, Samsung Pass and Samsung Health it doesn`t work, so i`ve quit the root with an official firmware from Sammobile and i`ve restore my phone to fabric changes but Knox still in 0x1.
Someone have a possible solution for that? all answers are welcome.
Knox 1x0 is hardware made. Forget about it
