Is it possible to switch the CSC of a phone without tripping knox? My S7 is from spain, and I need to switch to norwegian csc (NEE). Can I simply just flash the norwegian firmware with Odin, or is it more complicated than that?
yes, it is possible to switch the csc of a phone without tripping knox.
As long it is an official stock firmware, you will have no problems.
Only if you play around with the bootloader, you risk tripping knox.

from where do you recommend getting the stock firmware from?
i think you should download it from sammobile.com and then flash it with odin

Hi guys,
As you know I'm fairly new here. I just want to ask if (as far as I've read) based on this POST http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498850, I'm running a Baseband Version of N9005XXUDMJ7. It says here that if I root, I will trip Knox but I won't be upgrading. Just rooting. If I continue with this process will I trip Knox?

You are altering system files, you will trip Knox... Doesn't matter that you're not changing rom.
If you were, as long as it was a stock firmware and the right bootloader, you wouldn't trip Knox...

What do you a stock firmware? I would get my firmware from sammobile. So what you're saying is that if I just root I'll trip Knox. But if I change my rom I won't?
So I should just follow the video on RDLV?
Sorry. Running a celeron processor of a brain here. -_-

De la Vega says: "If you are running MJ4, MJ7, MK1, MK2 or higher you can still root, but you will trip KNOX!"
Your firmware is MJ7 so you will trip Knox.
As you are on MJ7 it would be easier to just flash cf-autoroot... You will trip knox but easier to use.
You would trip Knox anyway and there's more steps using URDLV...
On the other hand if you want a different region rom on your Note 3 then you can pretty much just pick and flash a stock rom (as long as the new bootloader is in it) with no fear of tripping Knox....
Just don't think you can go back to MI7 or MJ1 to use URDLV to root without tripping Knox as they have the old bootloader that will see you boot looping until you reflash a newer version of stock rom with the new bootloader.
Hello
I purchased an S5 which was imported from Germany and it has Q Telecom branded firmware (it has Q Telecom apps, boot logos etc.) And I would like to flash a stock unbranded firmware with odin, will I trip Knox?
Also is there any method on unupdated S5s of obtaining Root only without tripping Knox? Like it was with Root de la Vega on Note 3 phones

No, flashing firmware with Odin doesn`t trip KNOX and for rooting look for Towelroot which doesn`t trip KNOX.
..
Thanks for your replies.
Ok towelroot worked fine for my German firmware but I still want an unbranded & rooted firmware while still having Knox 0x0.
I have Mobile Odin Pro will it work somehow without tripping Knox
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.
