Could someone please clarify a rooting/firmware rollback question

Have updated my stock I9505 to JDQ39/MH8 and was wandering if I were to root and install something like CM10 or GE 4.3 rom, I will be unable to rollback to stock TW 4.2.2?

Of course mister you can. Why not?
But keep in mind that you can rollback only on MH8 stock firmware and not on previous cause new bootloader.

That's great. Thanks. Just wanted to make sure I could go back to stock touchwiz should any of the rooms not be for me.

your warranty will be void
and for now you cant roll back to warranty, knox warranty void counter will show 1 and there is no way to reset it so far
This has become a bit of a pain hasn't it. Think I may sit this out untill a workaround is sorted.

Apparently the new counter can't be reset, so once you do something to change the system (root etc) your warranty will be voided. For ever.

How can I check Knox counter?
[[]]
If you've updated to the new firmwares, just boot into download mode. You'll see it there.
Thing is, Chainfire said that it is based on an e-fuse, so it can't be reseted.

has anyone tried towelroot on i9500 ?

just saw geohots rooting solution called towelroot... any of you guys out there tried it on a s4 i9500 ? how bout knox flag ?
currently running android 4.4.2.. let me know and thanks !
the Knox warranty void counter is that if you'll root your device, your Knox app will not work on your device.there is no possible way to reset the Knox counter as for now.You never get OTA updates, because your phone will turn Official status to Custom.triangle away will reset the flash counter, but it will not reset the Knox warranty void counter.

well I think you havent heard from geohots new rooting method, he claims to be able to root s5 and note 3 with the single installation of his application and pressing one single button. he even said when he tried it on his phone, knox counter was never tripped to 0x1. I was already aware of how knox worked and that there wasnt any rooting method that wont trip the knox flag. but as soon as I saw it on the forums, I went straight to ask if someone tested it on a i9500. so, anyone ?

Don't know where you get your information about resetting knox.
It must be one of many rumors floating around here... LOL
There is no such thing as resetting knox.
Good luck!
I already have said I did reset my knox mate and I always do it

I may be wrong but I don't think it is possible to go back to 0x0 from 0x1, sorry
Hopefully you are out of warranty by this point anyway

Ok no problem i'm out from warranty 1 month but i thinked when im selling it again or something that i reset it
One question ? Need i flash as kernel too or is ok only too root , change twrp and install custom rom i forgot things
@paketek, I'm out from warranty 1,5 years. And still alive.))
You can't reset knox on all devices with knox inside.
Samsung STILL maintain support and warranty is valid even if Knox in your device is tripped.
If you want to run a custom rom, there is no need to root before installing twrp. Just install twrp, perform a full wipe, install custom rom.
Great :/ I'll rooted...

[Help] Backing up stock recovery

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
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
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?
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
Nope, and all the info is here, read some
I'll do that then , thank you ao much for your help ??
