KNOX- Can't flash latest FW??

according to this thread

theq86 said that:
Even if you flash a KNOX-enabled firmware via odin (e.g. the latest fw) knox will be set to 0x1
WHY?
so it means that if for example i have the latest firmware in israel (NH4) and i want to reflash it, it would trip KNOX 0x1?

Flashing Firmwares via Odin

Hey guys!
It's been a long time since I've used a Samsung device.
I can't remember if I can recall correctly but if I flash an official firmware from sammobile.com will it trip any 'warranty' detectors like Knox? Even If for example I have the Telstra Australia firmware and I flash a UK firmware would that be ok?
I know custom packages that are flashed void the status.
Thanks for clarifying!
You're correct, flashing official firmware with Odin will not trip knoxs flag. Have a nice weekend

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.

Hi

Thanks in advance

SM_G935f Samsung pay need Korean sim card???

I got a UAE S7 edge off of amazon about a week ago. Not rooted, running latest OS nougat version available. CSC code is XSG. I just can't get Samsung Pay working on it though. I read from a few places that it is possible to install the framework and samsung pay apk's. I installed the version 2.7.38 framework. I first tried the 2.6.00 version of the Samsung Pay app, but had no luck as I couldn't get past the first screen. I then tried 2.7.46. It managed to load in, but failed because I don't have a Korean sim card in my phone? Can someone please explain to me what I'm screwing up? Or if I can somehow disable this pop-up?
Download XSA (Australia) firmware and flash it in Odin, Australian firmware has it preloaded and working. XSA also has Nougat so you're good.

Will flashing it trip the Knox? I remember rooting/flashing roms into my old note 5 and tripping the Knox that way.

If you flash firmware directly from Samsung then no, since the firmware is official and signed by Samsung. If you flash anything Custom such as a custom ROM or Kernel, then yes.
Just download the firmware from Sammobile (Ofiicial Samsung) and flash it via Odin. Knox will not trip.
