Knox Warranty Void: 0x1

I saw this on my bricked GS4 4.3.1(cyanogenmod 10.2) when I powered it on.
Any way to fix this?
It pops up on recovery mode and when I boot it up.
I really just want to get my S4 working again.
Can I just take it into some place like Best Buy or something and they'd help me?

If you can boot to recovery, then I wouldn't say it's "bricked."
As for a place like Best Buy helping you, well I don't know their processes but anyone who checks for a warranty claim can't help you in its current state.
Why not just flash a new ROM?

If your phone is "bricked" than your phone has the same exact functionality as a brick. If your phone can turn on and tell you which version of android your on, well... a brick cant do that.

Well I can't get into recovery mode. Being the idiot I tried to flash 4.2.2 over not thinking what I have done. Well, even before I couldn't get into recovery mode. I can get into download mode however. Is it possible I can flash official 4.3 or some other 4.3.1 rom over?

If you still having the problem..

Well friend,
don't panic.. as I know all your loses is that you lost your warranty but not your device..
You can install the stock original rom jelly bean 4.3
If you are interested go to www sammoblie com then (firmwares) then search for your device model (I9500) or (I9505) or (I9505G) or (I9506) then download the firmware for your country and carrier and follow their installing instructions

If you can boot to recovery, then I wouldn't say it's "bricked."
As for a place like Best Buy helping you, well I don't know their processes but anyone who checks for a warranty claim can't help you in its current state.

did you ever fix it , i got the exact same problem , i got a metropcs s4 and i wanted kit kat insane rom and tried to flash a stock tmobile rom because some people said they did and it was fine,. well not for me. i would like to knowif you ever got it fixed, i tried to flash the stock metropcs 4.2.2 that i was on before this happened and odin still fails.
its fixed now , i had to move the stock tar to the same folder as odin, go figure

Haha mate you havent "bricked" your phone.
If your phone enters the recovery, it would be booting into the download mode too.
Try getting the official firmware of your specific phone model nom and just flash it via odin.
Dont worry.

Yeah that is because you upgraded to 4.3 which has KNOX bootloader.
It wont let you flash 4.2.2 anymore. Like a downgrade is not possible once a knix enavled bootloader is flashed.
Download 4.3 or 4.4.2 and flash. It wont fail.
Thanks if i helped.

Sounds nice and all although I tried to flash the official 4.3 from Samsmobile and it's fails.
4.4 is not available for mrtropcs customers because the company don't care about it's customers in this regard. LOL
Just for inquiry purposes only, I found a link to a Guy saying he used lunix to delete know bootloader from a tar filehttps://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=8PDgU7DSOZTdoATTkIKYDA&url=http://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D75DKAGNstbM&cd=1&ved=0CB4QtwIwAA&usg=AFQjCNE7yajeB0317RtOmlFeEIB1QgEOGA&sig2=oD8TmSaTKu19-kpy0AKFGQ

Just go to sammobile and find the latest firmware for your model (4.4.2 for example) and dont look at build number.
Just grab it and extract to desktop.
Put your device in recovery mode if you can, and wipe data/cache/system if you can.
Then put your phone in download mode and connect do computer, in ODIN choose AP and add your tar.md5 file from desktop.
Flash it.
Then pull out battery on first reboot when flashin. Put it back and get into recovery by pressing VolUp + Power. Wipe everything again and reboot.
Should be fine.

i was finally able to flash stock 4.3 by just moving the tar file into the same folder as odin, go figure , i still want 4.4!!LOL

Rogers I337M S4 won't boot after ODIN flashing

My girlfriend has been having S4 issues in the past such as random restarts and application issues probably related to a ROM issue. Her phone IS rooted. While I was at work, she went to my floormate for advice and he, who also has an I337M S4, suggested she reflash a ROM. Things went well according to him (i.e. no ODIN issues) and I trust him since he has been messing with these things for a while; however, now her phone will not boot past the Samsung logo. It won't reliably go past the simple "Samsung Galaxy S4" white-and-black splash screen and when it does it fails to progress to actually being on. I CAN reliably get the phone into download mode and CAN flash ROMs using ODIN; however, I have no idea how to fix this issue. :/ I have access to any necessary S4 files (such as the PIT file) from my floormate.
Since I can't get anything more useful than download mode, here's the information from that:
Product: SGH-I337M
Binary: Samsung Official
Status: Custom
Knox Lock: 0x0
Knox Warranty Void: 0x1
USB-Config-LSD: 0x30
Write Protection: Enable
MMC Burst Mode: Enable
I apologise if any of that isn't quite right as she has a crack in the top left of her phone that makes it very hard to read.
Thanks in advance,
Jacob

Custom roms are typically flashed through a custom recovery.. trwp, cwm, phils..... stock roms are flashed through odin.... 2 ways you can go here... flash custom recovery ( tripping knox btw) or download a stock rom from sam mobile.... making sure you get the right one of course.... and flash it through odin... sounds like currently you have a bad flash.......

Sorry, I should have specified. What "Passed" on Odin is a stock ROM or at least it should be. I'm just trying to get the phone to a bootable state and am unconcerned with the end resulting ROM. Do you have a link to a recommended ROM that won't take an entire day to download?

If your coming from 4.3 there are a number of good roms... unfortunately they are all around 1.2 to 1.4 GB so if you have a slow connection it will take a while... I run Danvh's 4.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537495 , there is also this one that people seem to like but I haven't tried it.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2375180 you will need a custom recovery.... both of these suggest twrp.... I flashed with 2.6... 2.7 is out now and I don't know how it reacts but you will need a custom revovery to flash the zip file....

I guess the issue is you have to restore to stock via odin but you don't know what version bootloader you have? Guess you'll have to use samsung tool which will probably install knox?
Can you install custom recovery via odin?

Try with the new 4.4 files

Knox is already tripped. I'd go into recovery, do a factory restore again and then plug it into the computer and do a restore with Kies.

You're probably right. But are you sure he's not on mdl firmware? It would really suck if he is and he updated to nb1
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

True, I guess he can just restore to MDL firmware...
He was in the middle of a update so I was just assuming that the BL is already locked

i don't remember the firmware. it was rooted with towelroot. it gets stucked with the screen that says downloading, do not turn off. no loading bar.

Just do a factory restore with odin... You will loose all your data! But I dont see any other way unless you have a unlocked bl and a custom recovery.

Bricked Samsung Galaxy S4 VE (GT-I9515)

Hi Guys,
A friend of mine brought me a Samsung S4 GT-I9515 to see if I could make it work again. He says that suddenly the phone just didn't boot, it just got stuck in Logo screen.
I've tried to enter the Hard Reset menu, but it only says "Recovery Booting..." and that's it.
I can access the Download mode, and with it, I've tried the following :
Using ODIN 3.10 > Flashed an official lollipop ROM
Flashed an official kitkat ROM
Using KIES > Used the recovery mode
In all cases the process finishes, but the phone never boots.
Donwload info, in case it helps :

This seems to be quite a weird problem.
Try finding the .pit file for the I9515 and flash the PIT file with the firmware.
It may be hard though, since there's barely any support for the I9515.

need more information than that.
ok..
have you installed stock rom via ODIN from fresh ? or just trying to recover what is installed on the phone ?
if NOT odin then you need to flash stock rom again via odin and test again.
if YES then may be, may be it is hardware related (last option to consider).
BUT you need to do the steps above. then we can only reach on a proper solution.

change cables. (may be cable is somehow not working properly.)
use updated ODIN version. ( you are using old version)
use this PIT file. this is TGY version. (Android 5.0)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67773525&postcount=16
after then flash stock firmware. (preferably TGY one.)
if nothing works even now... then your mmc chip is corrupted and need to be replaced. the chip only if you can or the whole motherboard.
there is no harm in trying anything now, to revive it. so just do everything. don't lose hope. may be it will work.

change cables. (may be cable is somehow not working properly.)
use updated ODIN version. ( you are using old version)
use this PIT file. this is TGY version. (Android 5.0)

after then flash stock firmware. (preferably TGY one.)
if nothing works even now... then your mmc chip is corrupted and need to be replaced. the chip only if you can or the whole motherboard.

hmm..
that i don't know yet.
but in my opinion, if the emmc chip/motherboard is dead/corrupted/broken then it should not be detected by odin at all.
if it is being detected then it can be survived. but hey it is just an hypothesis.
imo the partition corruption chances are high like 85-95%. that can be repaired by available PIT file.
but i don't know any further than that.
and btw you didn't mentioned how it got corrupted ?
