Really?
It's very strange that behaviour!
Go to a repair center, Samsung, and ask for a solution.

Opening the backdoor to your phone's software (rooting) and still preserving high-tech business security?

Is there anyway to get back my knox files.

Once you root you lose knox. No way around it.

You would have to reinstall the stock firmware back onto your device.

You've broken KNOX now, even flashing stock firmware won't bring it back. Only Samsung can reset it.

actually not even samsung can reset... its motherboard thing... change motherboard and you will get back knox.

[Q] How to Unroot Note 3 SM-N900?

Hello,
1) How do I unroot my Note 3 SM-N900 model.
2) I know my warranty is void as I rooted the phone, but was just wondering if theres any way I could unroot and reset knox counter as well. I highly doubt this is possible but just wanted to confirm.

1) There's an option on supersu for unroot, I've never tried it but if it doesn't work you could always flash a stock rom with odin.
2) There isn't yet. It's doubtful that there'll be a method to fix it but we can't know for sure. (In Chainfire we trust )

Chainfire mentioned himself that knox counter issue is hard to solve as it's integrated in android system as layer and there might not be a chance in future that knox issue can be solved. But still I had to root my device cause what's the use of an android device anyway if there's no freedom to root??? I think device manufacturers themselves should rather put an option at first boot to allow us to root our devices at first place instead of making things harder!!!

Too many cases of idiots rooting these days. They grab one of those toolkits and use it to root without really bothering to take the time to understand what they are actually doing or what the risks are. Next thing they bricked it and they send it back to claim warranty. Either that or they succeed and do something dumb like over clocking until it starts smoking then claim warranty.
Of course there are plenty of competent modders out there too but there must be enough abortions going on that Samsung need to do something about it. They aren't actually stopping us from rooting mind, they are only safeguarding against fraudulent claims on warranty after it goes wrong.

Can anyone confirm if option 1 is working?
Also, can I modify SM-N900 to work on AWS network (Wind Mobile/Mobilicity). I am thinking of selling this phone and getting the snapdragon version. and I have a buyer who wants to work the phone on wind.

I'm thinkin you are right. I have a buddy that works for one of the manufactures and they have a whole department dedicated to "returns". And return numbers are much much higher than they want them to be. So anything that will bring those numbers down at all, they will do!
I would also like to know if it is possible to unroot and reset knox on the n900.
As for the warranty goes, I think that if you bring the device back because the usb port or ear phone jack or the home button fails, this should be repaired regardless if you rooted your phone.
Can you overclock your home button? What about the power button and vol up?
Lol.

Hello guys , just came across this link while surfing the net, it claims to restore warranty of rooted phone SM N 900. Please look at this. has anyone tried? please post results
http://theunlockr.com/2013/10/13/how-to-unroot-the-samsung-galaxy-note-3/
There are rooting methods without tripping Knox and in those cases removing root will bring phone back to original 100%, so to speak. However once tripped, I'm not aware of any way to undo Knox flag. The method above does not mention anything about Knox and I'm 90% sure it does not remove Knox flag, it just removes the root using Chainfire method.
However, rooted phone shows up as custom right away in about menu and it's easy to see, where Knox flag only shows up in download menu and it's more involved to find, therefore the chances are, unless it is Samsung service, they may not look or even care about Knox flag as long as it doesn't show custom/rooted, especially that Knox is only Samsung thing.
I agree 100% "genius" customers are the reason for all the blocks and lockdowns on our phones. I just read some thread about some Einstein calling customer care asking them for help in rooting the phone, I'm kidding you not and he went on and on how useless the service department is when they tried to explain that they not support custom programing etc.

I agree that manufacturers should allow for root access, however carriers would lose their minds. It (and im basing this on the sweat of others) appears that doing a hotspot that doesn't eat the data allowed by the carrier is super easy once root access is granted. But to the point, I agree that ROOT should be given as an option OTB.
CHEERS!
UNROOT GALAXY Note 3 (SM N 900)
I bought Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in USA. And the device is an unlocked to use in every operators in North, Central, South America and Caribbean. Actually I bought the phone to use in Sri Lanka, since it was not compatible in Sri Lanka I found a guy who unlock it. To be honest I didn't know that he was going to root my phone until I tried to update my phone. It says " The device has been modified..no updates are available" That guy has rooted the device in superSU.
But I want to unroot my phone to the factory status. And I tried my self to completely unroot in the setting of superSU. And I did it..but there were no any changes in the status of my phone "CUSTOM" And I uninstalled the superUS. When I install it again through Play Store, it says "There is no US binary installed.And Super US by cannot be installed"
So please tell me how to unroot my phone to the original status to update it. Because I tried to find the firmwares, the safest and easiest way of unrooting. But I could not find it as I do not know what's is my Region code and other related details. Can anyone tell me how to do it or can you send any links to download them please ? Attached photograph will show some details of my device details of firmware. If possible inbox me [email protected] or post on this page..Thank you so much.
good job
folks... this works great..... I recommend this...

Samsung KNOX - a warning for the leaked 4.3 roms...

Just been through training for KNOX at work - and without blowing my NDA's - i'll pass on this for you all
If you EVER want to use KNOX - and you run one of the leaked 4.3 roms - NEVER NEVER NEVER flash any custom binaries to the phone again - you can only EVER run an offical untouched rom.
If you ARE running a 4.3 rom - reboot your phone into odin mode and see if you have a KNOX warrenty bit set to 0x0.
if you do - and you EVER want to use KNOX (and after training - im going to be using it meself) - you now can not roll back - or install a custom kernel or pretty much anything apart from further factory roms.
If you install anything else - the KNOX and TIMA systems will blow a fuse on the motherboard of your note2 and you will get flagged with KNOX warrenty bit 0x1.
This is not reversable - ever - without a board replacment.
The only effect will be that you cannot ever run KNOX after this - private or enterprise versions.
The first leaked 4.3 rom didnt have this enabled - the second one did (UEMJ5).
This is enforced in the bootloaders - once you get it - you cant go back.
If you dont care about KNOX - go hard However if your are going to use a BYOD type setup at your work and they want to enforce KNOX and youve blown the fuse in the motherboard - to be blunt - you are screwed Its not reversable sorry.
If you dont know what KNOX is actually about (if youve read "Little Brother" by Cory Doctorow think phone inside a phone type things) check out https://support.samsungknox.com/home and have a chew through it - there are some very good parts to it....
In any case - if you dont care about KNOX - go hard - nothing has changed.
If you DO care about KNOX - your not going to be able to change the firmware on your phone at all ever - if you do you will lose permanently the ability to run KNOX.
if you want to use your phone for work and work wants KNOX and your a custom rom person - your ****outaluck =)
And KNOX is not just the apk's..... its the entire stack from bootloaders upwards....
have fun peoples
I didn't think the Note 2 has the eFuse on its motherboard?
I'm running Hurricane ROM and it hasn't got any KNOX and the new bootloader stuff. I think this problem is with the "original" (leaked) 4.3 ROM
On the one hand I object to this kind of control by Samsung, it's my phone and I resent them wanting to control it.
On the other, I understand that many businesses don't want their staff using their network connections or accessing their data without protection and separation.
I do my best to not use my phone at all for my employers's business, but if they wanted me to and told me knox was obligatory then I would tell them they would have to provide a mobile device for me to use as I would tell them I could/wouldn't be able to promise that I wouldn't lose knox due to custom roms.

Backporting and using a fuse that hasnt been exposed or used previously - apparently there are unused fuses in the system there
in reply to Chris189 "I'm running Hurricane ROM and it hasn't got any KNOX and the new bootloader stuff. I think this problem is with the "original" (leaked) 4.3 ROM "
the original didnt give me the fuse setting - the new rom did give me the fuse setting
im curious to find out if a samsung signed rom with knox disabled will allow a rollback offically - but i dont think your going to get any leaking like that.
And from 2k14 going forward - all samsung devices will be running this
also take note of the "SELinux" permissive / enforced state..... enforced may break some apps....
anyways - back to work - "hoo...ray"
have fun peoples

From what the Samsung trainers were saying - once KNOX is on there and has that KNOX warrenty bit available (can be seen from odin mode on the phone - power , vol down and home when booting) a rollback will blow the fuse even to a factory rom - not really willing to try it on my note 2 to confirm sorry
Should have said... any idea of rooting 4.3 by whatever method invalidate this KNOX thing.
Had a feeling that most rooting involve flashing at least a insecure bootloader for it to work?

Not applicable to Note2. This isn't the S4/Note3.
K thx
I don't know why Samsung implemented this stupid thing for Note2, maybe we can have 4.3 month earlier without this totally uselles ****, or have 4.3 with useful Note 3 things....do anyone know which manager decided about this ****?

Did you have your IMEI when you flashed back? May have needed to restore your EFS? Or reflash the original modem?
To put the Knox worries aside, I did the following test.
Install newest leak (MJ5) bootloader (with knox). Warranty bit was 0.
Installed MI6 and installed knox which worked. Warranty bit was 0.
Flashed CWM recovery from Odin, suprisingly knox was still working. Warranty bit was still 0. Binary flash counter increased
Restored CM10.2 Nandroid backup. Warranty bit was still 0
So it seems that with the MJ5 bootloader, no knox fuse is being blown and you are able to rollback to a previous version without issues (if you have backed up EFS when you want to go back from 4.3 -> 4.1).

if u want to go back to 4.1.2 u need newer builds which have the new EFS changes ( older builds will show fake IMEI if u don't have backup from the old EFS )
Mj5 bootloader can easily be downgraded to the previous bootloader without any issues

Phone getting sent back, what shall i do?

Ok my Bluetooth has broken nobody can help me fix it so i have to send it back.
Nox is tripped so going to get the phone back to stock, has anyone got any input for what i should do with the phone any tools i need to use?
Will flashing a stock rom do? Will that uninstall root fully and install default recovery ?
I understand nox is tripped for life.
Try kies This go to organ stock
Flash a stock tar file with Odin. Get the tars from the firmware section on SamMobile.

Better use Kies its more easy and will also set everything to stock except knox.

Question About Samsung Pay And Root

I know that rooting causes samsung pay to quit working. My question is that if
i decide to return back to stock using odin, W/O knox tripped, will samsung pay
start working again? i checked the threads, and couldn't find a clear answer. thought
a thread about it, in itself, would help.
thanks!

Need to un-root phone, can't open apps or anything

First of all, this is my first post and I don't know it it's in the right place. If not could someone please move it to the right area? Alright, so, my issue is that I rooted and installed a custom ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and then the screen broke. I was lucky enough to be able to re-flash the phone with a stock ROM (Even with the bloatware!(Only time I think I will say that in a good way!)). I still need a way to remove the root so I can send it in and try to cash in on the warranty. I would be okay with paying for the repair but Samsung is currently closed to all non warranty repairs at the moment and really need my phone back. The phone is pretty much unusable, as whenever I open an app the screen goes all green and I cant see anything. It is definitely a hardware issue so please don't try to tell me to try things to fix it. I will be able to post all information needed by anyone that thinks they can help. It is a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
If you reflashed to stock rom, it'd mean you are no longer rooted.
If not, did you root using CF-Autoroot? If so, just download SuperSU from playstore and go to the settings and select full unroot.
But since you've rooted it in the past, you have already tripped your Knox counter and there's no way (that XDA knows about) to change that.
So if your samsung store check this, you're pretty much stuffed unless you take it to 3rd party repairs.

The root was supposed to not trip KNOX and I even was able to download an app that checked KNOX and the app said it was intact. I am going to send it in and see what happens.

There is no no-knox root, so either you haven't been rooted or that app was lying to you
Go here and read the title.
Interesting, did not know about that! Thanks
