Today is the time of Marshmallow and I am still in kitkat. I dont mean I want marshmallow but atleast I am waiting for lollipop in my GT-I9505 of baseband #XXUGNH6.. I know there is several lollipop for baseband I9505XXUPOL1 but still #XXUGNH6 don't have.. And other thing I dont want lollipop from any other custom rom!
-Thank you!
Have you tried manually checking for the OTA?
You could also try flashing it with Odin. This will not trip knox or affect flash counter.
Are u sure?
Flashing stock firmware via Odin will not trip Knox unless you are trying to downgrade.

My S4 I9505 was on the latest official BTU firmware. I decided to flash the latest MF5 (NEE) firmware with Odin 3.07. No rooting or change to recovery.
I was slightly surprised to see About->Status showing "Device Status Custom" .
Is this normal now with the S4? Presumably it's because I flashed an NEE rom manually - so not a BTU rom?
Not that bothered just a little surprised/intrigued
I guess I could root and try triangle away? Maybe the next BTU update will fix it.

Its normal that it triggers Custom nothing new
Flashing Stock rom and reset after that will make it Official and ya u can root and use TA but since u have flashed official firmware mostly binary will be Zero only
As per what u know any Samsung Signed firmware wont increase Binary counter
What will happen if i flash a device which has Russia's(or Other Countries) 4.3 ROM , with India's 4.3 ROM? Will it set the KNOX warranty Bit flag.
I bought my phone in India. After i started using Omega ROM which has MG9 modem, i was never able to switch back to Indian Stock 4.2.2 which had MG5 modem, as in MG5 modem i was getting a generic IMEI and the network was not working. So i settled for using the KSA 4.2.2 ROM which has MG9 modem, hoping someday India ROM will get MG9 or higher. My device still shows the Official Status in the Download Mode.
My big problem now i how do i get back to Indian Firmware without voiding the Know warranty. Can i wait for 4.3 to release in KSA and then flash back India's 4.3 so that i dont face the IMEI problem with the ROM's? If i do this will it void the Knox warranty?
Or flash the MG5 ROM of India and get the official 4.3 India update? will this solve my IMEI issue?
I also heard that there is a binary counter for the number of times a Custom ROM is flashed. If we upgrade to 4.3 with non-zero binary counter will the KNOX warranty void flag?

Incase u hvnt installed 4.3 yet -
Oky, heres what u do: revert back to stock 4.2.2 android, then go to software update, (it will b good if u use triange away and remove the no.) and u shud receive update for indian firmware, since bootloader is installed later u wont loose ur warranty(when u will install it for first time the warranty bit says 0 ..)
I installed 4.3 russian fw by mistake and since my warranty bit was 0 samsung installed indian firmware on my phone(had to fight a lil tho ..)
Dnt do anything after flashing 4.3 for first time, since whatever u do will trip a flag, thus voiding the warranty ... i had isssues getting my phone fixed even at warranty bit 0 ..
Hope that helped ...

Hi,
You said that you used OMEGA rom. It means you rooted your phone and installed CWM recovery. Now you installed I9500XWUBMG5 4.2.2 stock rom and updated to stock 4.3 via KIES or OTA. My question is now your KNOX warranty is 0x0 or 0x1.
Could you please confirm I want root my phone.
Thanks.
What will happen if i install russian 5.1.1 to my indian galaxy note 3 neo
hello guys any one here i had flash indian firmware were few days ago bt now i want to back to nepal firmware ...my device is j7 2016 model plz help me to go back to nepal firmware again
@rohit gurung: The forums for your device are here. To install the Nepal firmware you need to download it from a site like Sammobile and flash it to the device just like you flashed the Indian firmware.
I am now with the latest version NG2.
I want to flash Sac's custom ROM v6.
Is it safe to do that since i have knox tripped Bootloader?
And the android still version 4.4.2
Thanks for help.

Hi. No,it will not trip your knox as it is Samsung Firmware. KNOX Gets tripped only when you root/CWM.
From what i heard which i forgot where, downgrading from 5.0 to lower WILL trip knox, because it then downgrades KNOX security, so samsung doesn't officially accept to downgrade it from 5.0 to 4.4. Also im 100% certain that Samsung wrote that it's not possible to downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4.x, so i assume if u force to downgrade, it may trigger the knox.

Downgraded from lollipop G900IZTU1BOA1 to G900IDVU1ANK1 .
Lollipop is not yet for me. A bit laggy, not XPOSED framework and much other stuff which worked fine on KK. Must wait to 5.0.2 version maybe? Version 5.0 is not for advanced user yet
Total noooob downgrade:
1)Start phone in download mode
2)Flash KK firmware.
3)Your phone will not start normally either. Bootloop guaranted.
4)Remove battery and put in again.
5)Do a factory reset from STOCK recovery
6)Flash again KK firmware
7)Phone start normally, you can start customization and other stuff like rooting or daily using.
Hi everyone,
I wanted just to ask will knox be tripped (will i loose my warranty) if i flash (odin) an official stock firmware? I am asking because i would maybe update my phone, and if i wait until an update is available for my carrier than i can get old waiting... Thank you in advance.
No flashing stock firmware will not trip knox.
All stock official firmware do not trip knox. You can flash as much as you want. Just be sure to choose the right firmware for you model.
