Go into download mode. Hold power + Menu + Vol Down, then click Vol Up.
Under KNOX Warranty Void if it's fine, it should say 0x0, if it is void, it should say 0x1

Power off your device and once powered off, reboot using the following method: Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button (all at once)
When you see the Galaxy Note 3 logo, let go
From the prompt screen, press Volume Up - in the upper left corner, if it says knox 0x0 (warranty is valid) if it shows 0x1 (warranty is void)
Hope this helps!
Cool Thnx for the help

I must assume you rooted the device, right? If you did, yes... you will have this notification, but AFAIK the only solution (to get back Over The Air) updates is:
1. Install Xposed Framework (a.k.a. Xposed Installer)
2. Tap on "Framework", then do it on "Install/Update"
3. Install Wanam Xposed
4. Open Xposed Installer, tap on "Modules" and check Wanam Xposed
5. Reboot the phone
6. Open Wanam Xposed, go to "Security Hacks"
7. Check (on System) "Fake System Status"
8. Reboot again...
9. Voilá, you can go back to updating OTA
Lemme know if it helped
Just noticed that my system status is showing up as modified. I have NOT rooted my phone yet and have no idea why this is happening. I was able to get the first OTA update from a while back but not the most recent one.

try to remove your sdcard and reboot your device without the card...
it might works fine after that... if this is the case, it means that your are affected by a bug present in Samsung's firmware for at least 2 years now.
The only fix so far is to format the card and put less file on it... what counts is the number of files and subfolder... not the total space used.
I've had the problem with a few thousand of m4a and mp3 in different subfolder... when I put all those files in a single folder, it worked fine.

Wow, you're absolutely right. Rebooted without an sd card inserted and it's back to normal. I guess I need to spend some time reorganizing my files this weekend. Thanks for the tip!
It is confirmed due to sdcard from my rooted note 2. After remove sdcard, the status change back offical.
Thanks everyone to discuss this problem.

this is probably the same case on all Samsung devices with 64GB card support that have this device status "thing" (had the same problem on my S3... saw it on a S4... and now on my Note 3).
On my phone, it doesn't say Custom because of the SD card, It says Custom because of the root.
On the first week when I got my device, I didn't root but I used up 40gb out of 64gb on my MicroSD, and my status remained Official. Not sure about this bug, maybe some have it, some don't.

I really depends on the number of files and number of subfolder too... not just the total space used on the SD card.
I was successful with 50GB of music files in one single folder (without any subfolder). But with the same files with subfolders for albums and artists, I had the problem.
taken the sd out workes

Thanks, this worked for me also.
BUT, after downloading the new update today, i can't install the update.
My phone boot's into recovery, tries to install the update, and then give me the following:
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.4
Compiled by Xiaolu (20131011)
E: invalid command argument

From what i understand there is an error in the update file, or should I change a setting on my device before updating.
Edit...
I just saw that the update hes a locked boot loader.
Is that the only difference in the update?
just to let everyone know...
I've done some testing with 3 different 64GB card.
One no so fast Lexar, Class 10
One Sandisk Ultra, Class 10.. up to 30MB/s read
and the last one, Samsung Pro (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147220)
Lexar never worked with more than 15GB of music... I always got the modified status beyond that point.
Sandisk Ultra worked for some time... stopped working... restart the device was fine... restart again and got the problem remove some files... and if I kept total files under 30GB, it was always fine.
Samsung Pro , which is rated at up to 70MB/s read and 20MB/s write was the best one... I synched different music files... filed all the card with only 200MB free space left and everything is still fine... I've rebooted a few times... erased some files, added some others and it's still perfect.
I think that there is some kind of timeout happening with slower cards... and because of this, we are getting the modified status at some point.
I'm sure that Samsung can fix this... but if it works with their cards, there is no reason to fix anything.
It would be interesting to see other results with fast cards like the Sandisk Extreme 64GB microsdxc card.
Hi!
I'd like to push via adb on my unrooted i9505 the ACR - all call recorder Apk.
Would this ensure to the app the writing access to the micro sd?
And the app would recieve normals updates via play store without loosing writing access?
I have bought the licence from the play store. I need to move the licence too?
Sorry for the big number of question but ACR is a very helpful app for me and after the ota of kitkat I am a little angry for the enternal sd write lock...
Thank you!
What ROM you are on ? If on Sammy, there is mod for call recording.
But I don't know if you can write(push) files into the system partition if you are not rooted
Also, some application is NOT working well if you place it and make it as system application
And as you said, even you are capable of doing so, but play store update will make it as normal application again(as the normal ones who installed in data partition, so you did it for nothing... )
来自我的 GT-I9505 上的 Tapatalk
I tried to push the app without success. Root is mandatory...
I am on stock rom, what mod are talking about?
Thank you!

This new permissions policy for apps writing to the external SD card is doing my head in. I have the stock, rooted, Polish Lollipop 5.0 ROM on my N9005. Dropbox refuses to write to the SD card and gives me a storage full or unavailable error. I'm well aware of how to set permissions for each app that requests it but Dropbox doesn't even ask for permission! Dropsync is even worse, it asks for permission to write to the SD card and I grant it and is displays a message saying that all is OK but when I try to sync I get a storage unavailable error. Similarly, Dolphin browser refuses to save anything to the SD card and doesn't request permission. I've reformatted my SD card using Android, tried a different SD card, cleared the cache for the affected apps, signed in & out of Dropbox but with no success. I don't think the SD card fix apps for Kitkat will work for Lollipop. Can anyone solve this?
Thanks
I emailed dropbox support & they have the answer:
Thanks for writing in, I will be happy to help you with your file issue.
It appears that these duplicate documents were added from the "Samsung Device" app. Samsung created a new deep Dropbox integration for their devices that allows access to all documents in your Dropbox account from a special "DocumentSync" folder on your phone. This DocumentSync feature allows you to add, edit, and delete any files that appear in this folder and these modifications will show up both on your phone and in Dropbox.
We've worked with Samsung on a fix for this duplicate file problem and it should be released sometime soon. In the meantime, if files are still being replicated, you can temporarily disable DocumentSync until the fix is released.
DocumentSync is different from the Dropbox application on your phone and disabling the DocumentSync feature will not impact the Dropbox app. You can turn off DocumentSync on your phone by following these instructions:
1. Tap your device’s “Menu” button
2. Tap “Settings”
3. Tap “Cloud”
4. Tap “Documents” or “DocumentSync”
5. Toggle off
You can also disable this app from the Dropbox website. To do this:
1. Log in to https://www.dropbox.com/account#security
2. Under "Apps linked" find the Samsung Device app.
3. Click the small "x" at the far right of where it says Samsung Device.
Sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused, but I hope this helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Randy
I think the way ahead is to uninstall the Samsung Dropbox app with Titanium Backup but when I do this it keeps coming back. How would I go about hacking it out with Root Explorer?
[SIZE=+3]TWRP scripts: Ad removal - Debloat - Block OTA[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]Amazon Prime Variant and OEM Variant[/SIZE]
Tested on Prime and OEM variants. Please report back if any issues
[SIZE=+1]This guide only require you to be able to boot TWRP. You can follow this TWRP install guide and perform the installation of these .zip files AFTER step 8) (You must backup your system in case anything goes wrong, you will also need this backup to perform any future OTA, such as the one activating band 12). You can either stop there after installation, or proceed to the following steps if you want to have root access.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]All .zip have to be installed using the TWRP "Install" function. You will need to download them on your phone or copy them on a SD card. You do not need to install all these packages at once. These scripts do not install or remove anything on /system, they only rename some files. All scripts can be extracted and opening "update-binary" with your favorite text editor will allow you to see exactly what is done (always a good idea if you are concerned with your device security), and customize it if you wish.
This will only rename the stock apps in your /system. If an update was performed, or if you used the app previously, the app and it's files may still be present on your device /data even after running these scripts but you will be able to uninstall them as any other app. This also means that you can rerun these scripts after a future OTA and they will not erase any app you reinstalled yourself on /data.
A "reset all" script is also provided to restore all apps and unblock OTA.
You can individually restore any app by using a file manager with root access (or TWRP built-in one) and rename any "*.apk_" to "*.apk", app will show up again after the next reboot.

[SIZE=+1]Disable ads, block OTA and Amazon PARTIAL debloat "bluR1-AMZ-PARTIALdebloat-blockOTA"[/SIZE]This package will remove all the ads from your Prime phone and block future OTA. You DO NOT need to reset / wipe your phone after installation.
It will also remove all Amazon apps from your system except for the Amazon Underground app store (recommended).
This option allows automatic background updates from the amazon app store and do not need you allow the installation of packages from unknown sources.
[SIZE=+1]Disable ads, block OTA and Amazon FULL debloat "bluR1-AMZ-FULLdebloat-blockOTA"[/SIZE]This package will remove all the ads from your Prime phone and block future OTA. You DO NOT need to reset / wipe your phone after installation.
It will also remove all Amazon apps from your system including the Amazon Underground app store.
[SIZE=+1]Google PARTIAL debloat "bluR1-GOOGLE-debloat"[/SIZE]This package will remove SOME stock Google apps that can be easily downloaded from the google play store and are not required for the system.
This will only remove apps in the /system partition. This means that if you downloaded or reinstalled some of the apps they won't be removed by the script. It also means that if you previously used the phone and some apps were updated they will still be installed in your /data/app, but you will be able to uninstall them manually as any other app.

Method to bypass problem,
1. Boot into TWRP Recovery
2. Mount System ( Mount → check System )
3. Advanced → File Manager
4. Browse to /system/priv-app/Setup-Wizard
5. Delete it
Also, home button and menu button doesn't work
(had to restore from backup)

I am a Prime-Member and would like to buy two NEW BLU R1 HD - 16 GB - Black - Prime Exclusive - with Lockscreen Offers & Ads:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H2E0J5M/ref=twister_B01G7TG6SW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
However, since I am buying these two cellphones for my sons, and I don't want that they have access to my amazon account details...
So, I would like to know if these phones will come fully registered to my Amazon account, or if it is possible to block or unregister these phones to my Account ?
So, my Amazon Orders, List and Shopping Cart, can not be seen or used by my sons ?
At first and if not totally necessary, I not want to root or modify nothing on this Blue phone... I just would like to totally block in some simple way, my Amazon account that I will use to purchase these phones, possibly because both will come already registered to the same account.

They do not come registered to your account at all. Signing into an amazon account is an option during setup, but not required.

Any way to make the Camera app launch Google Photos? It now just gives me an error since I removed the Gallery app...

No, use of the default gallery app is hardcoded in the camera app.
You can only launch Google Photos using the shortcut displayed after taking a new picture.
If you use an alternative camera app (I use Open Camera https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera ) these will correctly launch Google Photos or any other default gallery app.
For testing purpose (seems to work ok on my phone) here is an update of the scripts.
These ones will not delete the apps in /system but rename them from *.apk to *.apk_ effectively disabling and hiding them.
Two main advantages:
- Each app can easily be individually disabled/reactivated using TWRP builtin file explorer or any file explorer with root access by renaming them back to *.apk.
- Easily revert to an out of the box state to be able to apply an OTA update by simply using "bluR1-RestoreApps-OTA.zip" script. This will "rebloat" your system. If you installed root etc you still have to take care of this yourself.
If you are giving these scripts a try, please report success / failure so I can eventually update the original post.
Edit 09/10/2016: scripts updated to debloat non-prime phones, restore script released.
Edit 10/01/2016: scripts are now available on OP, beta is over. Thanks to the few testers that reported back!
Oops, wrong thread.
PARALLEL APP INSTALLER BY XENNET
Many of you all know me from the Oneplus3 forums where i had manually patched the boot images for Dm-Verity and File encryption.
OnePlus has introduced the Parallel App space into almost all their phones from Oneplus 3 till their latest released ones. But the main drawback of it is that it allows only a very small handful of preselected apps only to be installed into the parallel space. Users resort to third party apps to create additional copies of their apps. But these third party apps use up a lot of memory, lag the phone behind and the apps installed into them doesn’t seem like a natural app in their performance. That's a major drawback. Keeping that in mind I have developed a Windows Application which seamlessly install “ANY APP” you wish into the parallel space in OnePlus phones. These apps behave and work seamlessly and fluently as any other stock installed parallel space app because it is installed into the default parallel space that OnePlus uses. Now get ready to use any app in two on your OnePlus phones.
PREREQUISITES:
*Any OnePlus phone(or for that matter any phone where the Parallel user space id is 999)...I plan to update the application in near future if you provide your phone's Parallel space user id (which can be obtained via this application) and details in the XDA forum post. No etas.
*ADB Driver
*OnePlus phone drivers from your phone after connecting it via USB
*Windows 10 is recommended
*.NET Package 4 and above
*Phone must be ROOTED, preferably with Magisk. This application won't work on Non-Rooted phones.
*App for installation can be any app. It can even be an app that is not installed already in the default user space. It should be a compatible apk file that's all. The app normally in parallel space gets updated as you update the original user space app. So if that's what you want then obtain the exact base apk file of the installed app from google play store via different methods (downloading from apkmirror, google paly store downloader) or you can get it via various root explorers, for example like Esfile explorer which allows you to save the base apk file from the installed user apps.
*Whatever the app, however you get it, you should place it in the root of the storage (storage/emulated/0) and rename it as install.apk. Renaming is important.
ALL INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO USE THE APP WILL BE FOUND ON RUNNING THE APPLICATION
Just Download the attached RAR file extract it and Run Parallel App Installer.exe
FAQs:
Q:Why do you need this Application?
A:The answer is simple. Go to the Settings in Oxygen OS and select Parallel Apps. You can see only a few apps which can be installed as parallel apps when you have several apps installed in your phone and the app you need as parallel app is not listed there. My Parallel App Installer is made to bypass this restriction in Oxygen OS so that you can install any app you wish into the DEFAULT ONEPLUS PARALLEL SPACE so that it can run like a normal app on your phone without the need for any third party parallel space creator apps.
Q:What is the need for this app when there are other parallel applications like Island, Shelter, etc.?
A:First of all Island, Shelter etc are android applications that you need to install into your phone. Then these apps create a sandboxed space where the parallel apps are run. My app is a Windows application. You just connect your phone press a few buttons and the app you want is installed INTO THE DEFAULT PARALLEL SPACE THAT ONEPLUS OXYGEN OS USES and your app appear in the launcher. Here there is no need for you to install additional app to run the parallel app. It is installed into the default parallel space. So, no lag, no errors nothing. Everything is in the default parallel space.
Q:What apps can be installed?
A:Virtually any app you wish to. It can even be an app that is not installed already in the default user space. It should be a compatible apk file that's all. The app normally in parallel space gets updated as you update the original user space app. So if that's what you want then obtain the exact base apk file of the installed app from google play store via different methods (downloading from apkmirror, google paly store downloader) or you can get it via various root explorers, for example like Esfile explorer which allows you to save the base apk file from the installed user apps.
Q:Can I install apps that usually don’t natively support parallel app installation?
A:Yes. One such app is Signal which doesn’t allow default parallel space installation. You can even install signal by this application into the default parallel space.
Qo I need Root for installation?
A:YES. You need a ROOTED phone for this application to work. It needs elevated shell privileges to install the app to the parallel space. But like some users asked, after installation if you remove the root the installed parallel is not uninstalled.
Qoes it support other phones than ONEPLUS?
A:For that matter, this Application is based on ADB and Shell commands which are common to all Android OS running Phones. So, it can be very well tried on other phone models too as long as the Parallel Space ID is 999. I plan to update the application in near future if you provide your phone's Parallel space user id (which can be obtained via this application) and details in this XDA Thread. No etas.
Q:Will this app get updates?
Aepends on how well the app is received by this community and the further need for it. If you are interested so am I.
Q:My antivirus flagged this applications as virus. Is it harmful?
Aon't be ridiculous. No one is going so open in an XDA thread and distributing a virus around. This application contains scripts for shell and adb commands which can be FALSELY ALARMED by some antiviruses. That's all.
Q:The application doesn't work for me. It has this bug, that bug, real bug....etc...???
A:Really!!! That's why this XDA Thread is for. Post it here with explanation. I will look into it and get it worked...But before posting read the prerequisites for the application well.

So doesn't this just mean that OnePlus' Parallel Space creates a separate profile for its parallel apps? That's exactly what creating a work profile does in apps like Island or Shelter.

The parallel space id is 999 in OnePlus...For the first question yes... OnePlus creates s separate space....the default paths used are:
data/user/999/{app.path}
storage/emulated/999
data/media/999
data/system/users/999
But for the answer to island is that it creates a sandboxed area rather than create all the profiles for a default parallel userspace...the paths used are sandboxed rather than real paths...
So here via my application it's the default inbuilt parallel space of OnePlus that's used (which results in creation of same parallel apps thare are created via the OnePlus settings) rather than creating a new virtual sandboxed area like island..
And FAQs will be written in a days time...time constraint...
Is root mandatory ? Any chance to get it work without root ?
Does this sandboxed model for parallel apps means that a classic app in "/0" will never be able to reach "/999" storage ?
I'm thinking in a file explorer like solid explorer.

The below is from the op.
*Phone must be ROOTED, preferably with Magisk. This application won't work on Non-Rooted phones.

Root is mandatory...
For your second question it just means that they are in 2 separate spaces so that they can coexist and work together in the same operating system...the spaces can be accessed by any root explorer and that has nothing to do with the spaces being separate....

But root still required you cross this logical boundary? In other words, any chance it will work with non rooted phone?

It's not the boundary of the parallel space that requires root...
Root is required to install the app to that space...its access requires root...

Root is needed only to install... whether u unroot after that it doesn't matter...but if u lock the bootloader then ur data will be formatted..

You don't need root or a special tool to install apps to Parallel Apps. All you have to do is specify --user 999 when installing an app through ADB. Parallel Apps is basically a work profile with a different ID and icon, but without the work profile integrations and the addition of the settings menu for it. Also, Parallel Apps has Play Services but not the Play Store, unlike Work Profiles created through Island/Shelter which installs both.

Is there a command to create a work instance of an already installed apk ?
Meaning without saving apk from classic storage and pushing it back to work parallel space.

There is also a xposed module "Oneplus PA Extender"
By installing it any app can be added to parallel apps.
So does it also creates the same space as yours or different ?
Could you please confirm

Good question. You could probably automate this getting the path of the installed APK for the personal profile (eg. "dumpsys package <package>") and then feeding that path to "pm install --user 999."
@Xennet There's also an Xposed module which can do this. It's called OnePlus PA Extender.

I tried the all but no worked. Do we need any specific module
