you can simply flash the leaked stock 4.3 version via odin, It wont void your warranty.

Do not install official 4.3 unless you wont plan to use any custom rom or downgrade to an earlier version of android!
You'll have knox active on 4.3

I'm sorry. what?
Will you elaborate a bit?
I already installed 4.3. How will knox affect my warranty?

[Q] Possible to install 4.4 Custom Rom on 4.3 OTA?

Would it be possible to install a KitKat Custom Rom on an S3 running 4.3 OTA (unrooted)? Or will it trip KNOX? I don't care if it will void my warranty, it's pretty much expired.
Just flashed CM11 everything's fine

Here is a modified version of the 20131121 ROM that installs on devices with the new Knox bootloader. Also, this version boots with SELinux back in permissive mode.

No reason to be confused, if you flash 4.3 and then flash custom recovery or root, you will get Knox warranty void, end of
You want 4.3 without Knox, flash this

[Q] Samsung Knox

Hello I would like to ask something about knox. I haved flash the official firmware for India for Android 4.3 for the galaxy note 2, I want to experience it already that's why i flashed it even though my country has not yet have the update. I am planning to flash the stock rom for my country if it already has the update in the future so the firmware can match with my country. Are there problems that can occur doing that because Knox is there? Will it trigger the Knox void warranty? Its ok for me if it'll trigger cause my warranty for the phone is done.
If you flash (official) KNOX ROM over (official) KNOX ROM, it won't trigger KNOX bit.

From what I've read here, it happened only on update from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2, I believe flashing anything from 4.1.2 upwards is safe.

If your phone is running a stock 4.3 bootloader, you cannot downgrade the bootloader, only the OS.

Do i need to downgrade my bootloader to downgrade to 4.2.1? All I want to do is revert back to 4.2.1 OS.
Do you have access to the stock AT&T 4.2.1 ROM? I looked on sammobile and couldn't find it.
You may be able to downgrade to 4.2.1 using mobile Odin but you would need root access on your current ROM.
Do you have knox on your phone? If you do, knox may interfere with obtaining root. Also, tripping the Knox counter will void any warranty left on your phone.

No i do not have access to 4.2.1 ROM that why i was asking here to see what i could do. I thought with Odin you could flash stock firmware with out being rooted. No i do not have Knox on my phone.

You don not need to be rooted to flash with Odin but you need a ROM that can be flashed via Odin. Unless AT&T released full a 4.2.1 ROM, it's unlikely you will find one on the Internet.
If you try to flash a stock ROM using desktop Odin that includes an older bootloader, you will probably brick your phone.

Can i install a custom rom with the 4.3 ota?

I am wondering if it is possible to install a custom rom(quantum or cyanogenmod).I don't care about warranty, already tripped the Knox flag rooting. Will I brick my phone trying to install a rom? If I can how?

This gets covered a lot at XDA. Recently in the Q&A thread as Method for Root, Recovery, ROM installation after 4.3 OTA [ 1 2 3 ... Last ]
The bricking is guaranteed if your new flash includes an incompatible bootloader. The forums for each rom you are interested in are best resources.
otas?
Can i still ota with Knox tripped?
