Don't hold your breath. Very capable people (like Chainfire) have been working on reseting KNOX since the Galaxy S4 was released, which was almost 2 years ago, and they still haven't found a way to reset KNOX. It is quite possible there is no way to reset KNOX without specialized hardware.

Well, I have Note 3 as well, with KNOX been reseted. It is definitely software solution. You just need a service bootloader

Now, THAT I didn't know. Did you keep root when the service bootloader was loaded?
Where can I find one for the Note 4 ?

Forget about resetting knox right now. It can't be done. The guy who released Towelroot on the Note 3 now works for Samsung I think lol. Look all over XDA...there is no way to reset knox right now, period. Maybe one day but don't hold your breath.

Of course no! It was just a special bootloader. Service bootloader, which resets Knox warranty bit. All you need to do - is flash that bootloader via ODIN, boot it, make factory reset, and than - flash pure stock firmware. And you will get KNOX bit resetted. But - since stock firmware doesn't have root - after flashing root you will have that bit to 1 again. And this can be done unlimited times. I can prove it.
But there is no such solution for Note 4 yet. One man had a test phone, and there was a test bootloader, but he was complete noob to tell it everyone, and 20 minutes after - flashed stock firmware and lost that boot... But there will be another person.

Don't mislead the people! I was talking about bootloader, not about Towelroot. I don't even know what was that.
Look at the photo.

All I was trying to say was there is no known way to reset Knox on the Note 4. I think you're post was misleading because it makes it sound like there is. Older phones are not a valid comparison. The day that our note 4 knox counter can be reset there will be threads all over XDA sharing the info. As of today and for the forseeable future it is simply not possible.
Now is there any way to use knox app without this reset ?

Short answer: No
Long answer: Nooooooooooooooooooooooo, never as in the Note 4 it is an efuse (as others have said elsewhere) and can not be reset
there has been a way told in this thread..check it yourself.

It only worked on exynos variant and snapdragon is never reseted. So if the solution was there it could have uploaded till now. So admit the fact that its not possible and move on because note 4 would be discontinued this year.

It wont bootloop or anything like that?Will i lose twrp?
I'd update via ODIN, then flash CF Auto Root and TWRP again afterwards
Flashing stock firmware will remove root and twrp

Ok,thanks,so no need for backup personal data.
You *should* back it up even if you don't have to.......
If you get the "worst case scenario" and you don't manage to get a successful flash (it can happen), you might need to wipe data before or after a second (or third) attempt to flash.......
Not worth the risk of NOT backing up imo......
Always good practice to make backups.....

Yes, your flash count will increase, and factory resetting is likely to delete all your 'user installed' apps and passwords etc, but shouldn't cause any problems for the device firmware.....

Recently had my s7 edge rooted with the guide that says root and knox still good.
Just used the part of the guide where it says unroot I'm back on stock firmware but now I can't take an Ota it fails and I can't use samsung pay. I was wondering if I did something wrong or there is a step in missed and need to do ?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
You have to Odin a stock firmware.
That's what I did
What does Settings - About phone - Status - "Phone status" say? It should say "Official".
Also booting to Download Mode (phone off, hold Power/Vol Down/Home at same time, then press Vol Up when prompted) to confirm that "System Status" should read "Samsung Official" or "Official".
You can also install this app, KNOX Status Samsung, and it'll tell you your Knox Status.
If Knox is not valid, you will not be able to use Samsung Pay, and once Knox is tripped, there is no undoing that.
Only reason I can't be on root either is because even with all the power saving functions I've had enabled through root, it didn't have as good battery saving as stock unrooted.
But yeah, try to make sure you didn't do something to trip KNOX.
Yeah that's the odd thing I downloaded the knox checker and it says the warranty is valid

I'm not seeing anything in the Verizon Root Guide w/ Knox Good where it says anything about unrooting, so I assume you flashed the official phone firmware via ODIN? What version firmware did you flash? Did you get the stock firmware files from this thread here?
My apologies this was the thread that I used for unroot

Does your baseband version match your build number? You only need to look at the last 3 digits. If they don't match then you flashed the wrong update file onto your phone.

Here you go this might work I found this on the regular s7 forum........
For those of you who want to go back to stock and are having trouble with any updates i have found a fix.
(only do this if u want to go 100% back to stock and want to update to current software and future updated software. If u want to stay on PG2 software and never update, then ignore this post)
In the instructions on how to flash back to stock, the OP only included 3 files u had to flash using Odin (AP, CP and CSC). follow those steps up to the point where everything is flashed back to stock and your phone has rebooted to home screen. After that,power off your phone and restart to download screen (hold home, power button and volume down at same time)
once u are booted to the download mode screen, open odin and select BL and find the BL file that came with your stock folder. Once its loaded, hit start and let Odin flash it. Your phone will reboot and you will be able to update your phone to any new software released.
I had a problem trying to update to PG1 after reflashing to stock. My update would crash at 32%. This will fix that issue.

Hello my brothers,
it was the first post me here at XDA
will give you the original file for the reset counter the KNOX for note3 n900 only.
and I will raise it on the MEGA.
did you have to do is download and run ODIN program file and enter the device on the status of the DOWNLOADMODE and then you connect the device to USB and choose to reset the counter file after completion remove the battery and reinsert then enter into the DOWNLOADMODE once again and then chose any Software installed and want to be here have restored security

Also note 3 is too old and will not get any updates. Notb many would be interested in resetting the Knox.
Does this method actually work, my counter is 0x1, i didnt think it could be reset on the N9005??

Yer i have root already and Phronesis installed, unfortunatley i had tripped knox, probably when i installed twrp, but as of yet i dont think there is anyway to reset it.
Unless the phone has warranty or you want to sell the phone, I don't think resetting the Knox counter means much as a tripped Knox counter has never caused me any problems with the phone using stock or custom ROMs.

Yer it was just for re-sale purposes. just to make sure everything as it should be, but i know, means nothing really, just samsungs way of getting out of honouring warranty, interestingly, i once owned a galaxy s2, and purchased a USB JIG, years ago, i then had a s3, s4 and the jig wouldnt work on them so i threw it in a draw.
The other day i came across the jig, and thought id try it on my Note which reported the binary as custom and the counter as 0x1, Upon turning off my Note 3 and inserting the jig into the usb socket, it did indeed fire my phone straight into download mode, although my phone counter is still 0x1, it has indeed changed the binary from custom to official.
Lol, didnt think it would do anything but there ya go, Partial success.
Just Flashed today...
I got my device soft-brick after flashing it,
when i power the phone up, it doesn't boot into system, but showing..
Error Code : [ RST_STAT = 0X400 ]
POWER RESET or
UNKNOWN
UPLOAD MODE
Pls, did somebody experience it?...
---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------
Thank a lot guys..
The problem is solved..
I have got my device back.
Hi Guys I was one of you for a long time then drifted to the darkside with apple. I am back but so much has changed and I want to ensure that I dont goose up.
I have a SM G935F S7 edge
I have contacted my provider and recieved sim unlock code. Placed alternative sim in phone and entered the code and it returned sim unlock. (its a pay as you go sim i used to unlock with no credit so I cant test I can make a call)
I am torn between rooting and not because of my banking app with Barclays, but on the advice of others I would like to try a stock samsung rom without all the bloatware.
I have sith super backup backed up my contacts apps call logs and sms messages and saved them to google drive.
So have I dont all i need before flashing and if so which stock rom can I use. do I simply use the most recent BTU from smmobile for my country or is there a better way to select the rom I should install.
Look forward to your answers but if anyone has Barclays app working on root let me know then I will just take the plunge I care not about the warranty as I have alternative insurance which wouldnt care.
Thanks again in advance
One of the reasons I haven't rooted is for the same reason as you. Barclays are a real pain in the arse to rooted customers. I have tried everything to get around this but nothing can. The only other option is logging in via the website but every so often this requries a card reader so it can be a pain in the arse.
Anyway, to answer your question, you seem to have covered anything. BTU is probably your best option if you would like stock samsung with less bloat. Although, I believe you will not receive any OTA updates and would have to update manually when updates become available.

Also, yes I have tried the method on reddit. It did not work for me. I gave up trying in the end and have not rooted my most recent S7.

BTU is UK unbranded.
Download this: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/116121/G935FXXU1BPLB_G935FBTU1BPK3_BTU/ this is the latest
Also download odin 3.11.1 the link is just below the details on the download page.
once everything has finished downloading, backup important data on your phone and put your phone into download mode, unzip the Rom file, there will be 5 files inside, delete CSC_HOME (you don't need it), Flash BL, CP, CSC and AP all with odin, but in odin settings, select Re-partition, F.reset time, Auto-Reboot, then start, the CSC file contains a PIT file which will wipe your phone.
Here is my thread on Sammobile confirming the flash: https://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34984
I did the same with my S7 Edge to debrand it, I can confirm the Barclays app still works as its Samsung official software it doesn't trip knox, although I'm fed up now of waiting 6 months for android 7 I'm thinking of just going to a custom rom, i'll just use the browsers to goto Barclays.
The only way the Barclays app wont work is if you have ever flashed a custom recovery, rom, or rooted which all trip the knox counter to 0x1

Not sure If I have messed up. I unticked repartition as was the instructions in another thread.
The phone is up but just going through the set up.

Doesn't really matter to be honest, just means you loose a bit of space as the BTU firmware file is one of the smallest out of the lot due to the lack of bloatware, repartition would have given you this space as user storage, but its not much to be fair.

Phew...
Still think I might redo it when finished. the reason being is I let samsung reinstall stuf where I feel I should just have loaded super backup on my device then restored that way.
Plus I stupidly said yes to microsoft stuff beacause I need outlook but I dont need all the other crap.
