Hello everyone , I just bought a brand new galaxy s5 g900f and I was wondering before flashing custom recovery on it , is there any way way to back up the stock recovery before flashing?
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
Stock recovery comes with stock ROM, possible you could extract and flash separately, but not seen anything about that
Not really much point, if you want to return to stock, just flash stock
Thank you my friend i have returned the phone to the retailer and got another one and i have checked that the download mode product number is the same as the rom pruduct number and the box

One last question , sorry i know I've asked alot of newbie questions but i cant believe i got this phone again ?, does puting custom recovery or rom etc voids my warranty ?
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
Custom recovery etc trips the KNOX flag, which many places check for warranty, if it is tripped (0x1) then they could refuse warranty
Apparently in Europe you can still claim warranty under some legal garble with tripped KNOX, but if you want to be 100% sure, make sure it doesn't trip
0x0 = warranty valid
0x1 = warranty invalid
Check in download mode again

Good choice returning the phone
If the knox warranty becomes 0x1 is it possible to make it 0x0 again? Or is there away to flashy phone without triggering knox warranty void?

Nope, and all the info is here, read some
I'll do that then , thank you ao much for your help ??

but you cant use cwm or twrp or install a custom rom
This root will void warranty.
Quote form the post you mentioned:
"Flash counters and KNOX warranty
Using this root method sets current binary and system status to custom. Additionally, it will also trigger the KNOX warranty void status.
This device store the traditional flash counter. Nor is is possible with Triangle Away to reset the current binary status. You will need to flash a stock kernel and stock recovery to reset the binary status.
The KNOX warranty status change is permanent, and a service center may deny warranty based on this flag - even if the other flags are reset correctly. The KNOX flag being tripped may also prevent certain Samsung KNOX features from working (enterprise security features). If this is something you care about, use a root method not based on custom kernels or recoveries, like a modified system partition. These are possible, but I don't personally make them, so look around!"

Hello again,
I'm not sure if I can replace my Note 3 under warranty FOC with the status screen at recovery showing the following messages :
Current Binary : Samsung Official
System Status : Custom
Knox Kernel Lock : 0x0
Knox Warranty Void : 0x0
I'm just worried about the System Status : Custom message. Is that a problem?
I unrooted using the method explained in this thread and this link directly takes to my post in that thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46511887#post46511887
Do I have to do anything else for replacement under warranty?
Thank you for any information.
Remove SD card and reboot. Then check status again.
Or you can just Flash stock room through Odin and it will all be official again.

Thank you. I flashed the official latest rom and everything is official again.
But why do I read so many times that flashing custom roms will void warranty, if this can be reverted by flashing official roms?
Is it that the knox will be tripped to 0x1? I flashed using the method I mentioned above but my knox stayed at 0x0...

Most custom roms require a custom recovery to be installed, this will trip Knox. Also most custom roms have altered kernels, this too will trip Knox.
You have simply gained root without replacing the recovery or the kernel.

There's a bit of murky waters regarding the warranty if knox is tripped. But recently Samsung have said knox tripping does not affect warranty. But to be on the safe side some people decide to not trip knox. There are ways to root and flash custom roms without trooping knox but not if you are on one of the latter bootloaders.
Once knox is tripped there is no going back as it stands. ..... But if you like to customize your phone and make it look and feel much nicer .... Who gives a foookk .....I for one don't?
Also knox can be tripped flashing stock firmware using odin.... If you are unlucky. ..

Thank you all for the Knox explanations. That cleared up some doubts of mine.
I am curious what the difference between a dev vzw n3 and a retail with Knox tripped 0x1?

A retail with Knox tripped means the owner either did some unsupported mod or used an old root method and the warranty is now void. It does not mean the bootloader is unlocked.
A Dev Note 3 has Knox tripped but can be bootloader unlocked.
Don't get a Knox tripped retail.

Not exactly but close...the Dev Note 3 does not have knox tripped out of the box. Once you flash anything custom in odin, then knox is tripped. However that is all irrelevant because there is no warranty anyway aside from a 1 yr on mechanical defects.

Well I tripped my Knox. It's not the end of the world. It does stink though. I'm running Eclipse right now but I'd love to check out Cm11. Is that possible?
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
@lmarik81 - I think the pointed question you need to ask is:
"Suppose I want to intentionally blow my Knox warranty flag on my retail device - will the retail device become equivalent to a dev device at that time?"
I *think* the answer is "NO - you will still not be able to boot unsigned kernels."
But it would be better if someone with a blown Knox retail device can validate the above with a "yeah, I tried that on my (blown Knox) retail device and it didn't work" ... either that or refute that assertion from contrary experience.
Direct first-person experience is very desirable here.
[Edit] @lmarik81 - mind saying how you blew yours? Flashing the recovery partition, or something else?
.
Is it possible to hard brick my device by doing this? I'm tempted to try if I can just restore back with worst case 0x2.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
I had the case off the back of my phone and some how the battery came out as I was flashing either a rom or recovery and when I turned the phone back on I went into recovery and it tripped.

If you are rooted you can use the Triangle Away app and reset your counter.. works for me
hay' i have note n910f with stock rom but no samsung rom and now i want to change it to stock from samsung.
if i will burn via odin stock rom did my knox flag will change to 0x1?
sorry for my bad english and thank's to the helpars.
Yes, flashing anything via Odin will trip your KNOX flag to 0x1. If that was the question..
@quadlt
Your answer is wrong
Stock Rom means original ROM.
Did you have a original Note 4 with original Rom?
Did you flash anything before?
If you're device is untouched, you can flash ANY original Samsung ROM via Odin without triggering Knox to 0x1

Yip flashing stock ROM with ODIN doesn't trip KNOX

Are you sure? I really Mbolblthlk say yes and others Slatham you know that I will run Knox from personal experience? Just do not feel like losing warranty on a new device, thanks for the help.
Can someone tell me where i can download the stock ROM from for N910F. Many thanks!

rom for SM-N910F
Hi
I just bought note 4 SM-N910F and i came unrooted with vision-x n4 ROM. The problem with rom is that the finger print does not work and there iss no data usage. When i boot(from the first time) on the upper of the screen there is written : Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit: kernel. Searching on the web this shows from the bloatware as there is a custom rom. I used sam moble to find the firmware but dont know which one i am going to download. Searching the APof the cureent firmware it corresponds to the t mobile variant (sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910T/TMB/) firmware. Can someone help me which i have to choose. Attached there is the the curent CSC.
Did anybody try to flash stock firmware? did it trip knox? I have seen different answers to this question so want to be sure. Another thing is the flash counter that will definitely change and that does void warranty if I'm not mistaken? thanks
Ok, I say this one and for all, I burned stock with Odin and it doesn't trip Knox flag on,it safe.

Hey all, it's been a while since my rooting days but I wanted to check in and ask this: Is there a simple way that the manufacturer can tell if you have rooted the phone? I ask because I'm a verizon employee now and they're more strict than my previous employer was, At&t. I know samsung used to have a counter on some of their devices but wanted to check in with today's current root methods. And if there is a way they can tell, can you reset it to zero after flashing through odin or another method?
TIA!
There is Knox warranty void which is tripped when root and when tripped it's permanent. There is no way to undo it other than changing mainboard.
Knox is an efuse, hardware based thing.

But what about the exynos version. is the knox flag still there if you go back to stock?

It is. But it does not have an efuse so could potentially be reversed. However nobody has found a way to do it as of yet.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
everytime you'll flash something, the knox counter will be from 0x0 to 0x1, which means your warranty is void.
Up to now there is no known way to turn it back to 0x0
