Back to MC2 from MK4???

Is there anyway to go back to MC2 everything(stock rom, stock recovery, modem, baseband) from OTA MK4???

We can't really back to MC2 because of the KNBOX ！

but ，can we falsh official ROM and OTA again ？ I think we can't .
my some friend flash official ROM back to LJ1 after they OTA update to mk4 ，they can't do OTA again ，some of them do it and the device was bricked .
the bricked device came only into ODIN mode , ever can't into recovery mode .
finally they unbricked the device and not dare to OTA again .
i think ,it's because of the KNBOX .
you. can take a try ...

You can go back I did plus get rid of knox bootloader. I was stuck and everytime I tried the knox bootloader was saying unsupported and wouldn't allow me to downgrade. So what I did was flash twrp in odin and then downloaded a stock mc rom with count reset and stock bootloader rooted or non there was two versions and it put me back bone stock with no knox anything. That's the only way I know that worked for me I tried allot of different ways that didnt work. With knox it block everything.

I appreciate all the replies! One more question, im also rooted and I've removed all the knox software but besides that im completely stock. Will that make a difference?

If your on knox bootloader it won't let you downgrade with odin . Go to download mode and see if you see knox stuff at the top of you do try downgrading my way.

Ok let me make sure I'm understanding this. If I want to go back to mc2 I can use the back to stock with counter reset mc2 zip right? And if I'm correct flashing the custom recovery to do so will set off Knox correct? But once the zip flashes I'll be back on mc2 bootloader without Knox I'm assuming. Now let's say I decide to update again, will the 4.3 Knox bootloader show 0 or be marked as 1 like it's tampered?

Re upgrading to the 4.3 upgrade will cause the knox status in download mode to reappear and yes it will still be tripped. But you could revert to MC2 and then use lorjay589s thread to upgrade to the new 4.3 with the MC2 bootloader so everything will appear untampered

Okay.. I had upgraded to the 4.3 Deodexed and Rooted KNOX removed ROM by lorjay589. Great rom, but I was missing some of the things that I use (Wallet, NFC, "That Bump Thing", etc...)
I wanted to resort to MC2 Stock and reset the counter and then take the OTA, and just deal with it from that point.
When I did the normal boot into recovery, wipe completely, and then flash the MC2 Stock with Counter Reset ROM (As I have done multiple times in the past), along with the root.zip to maintain root temporarily to restore my app data, I ended up stuck on the "U Were Scared we're almost done) for ever. I waited and waited and waited. The options in TWRP were available and the log shows "Updating partition details" and it never moved.
I decided (after 30 minutes) to pull the battery (Yea, I know, not smart), and attempt the clean/flash again.
Now, I'm sitting with no OS and each time I reboot the phone into recovery, I go right back to the "U Were Scared" TWRP screen, and my SD Card is not available any longer.
Any help would be awesome! Thanks

had the same issue. just hit install and reflash mc2.

Can we root the official At&T 4.3 yet and KNOX questions **Solved

Can we root the official At&T 4.3 yet?
I Odin'd my phone back to 4.1.2 before sending it out due to a bad headphone jack. It updated to 4.3 today and curious when my replacement comes and probably has 4.3 on it already, can it be rooted quick and just run a rooted stock for a while?
EDIT
Good KNOX info http://www.kingoapp.com/help/samsung-knox-counter.htm

Thanks alot!

No worries! Just keep in mind after you do it you'll get notifications about knox and security. Ignore them and head to the play store to update SU, because you won't be able to open SU till then. Also bear in mind that this will trip the knox counter and there is no going back.....it will void your warranty! You have been warned

KNOX counter is seperate from the Flash Counter? Before when I was on stock 4.1.2 and flashed custom 4.3 and 4.4 roms , I never saw any KNOX notifications or warning...Is this new with the 4.3 OTA?
My first phone had headphone jacks issues too. i reset it with odin and had it replaced with no issues from at&T. Now this one is repeating the same issue. I Odin back to 4.1.2 and took the 4.3 OTA before i call them and they want to remote desktop into my phone like before.
If KNOX only comes with the 4.3 OTA i wont take it if the replacment phone doesnt come with 4.3 preloaded
Anyway of confirm KNOX status on my phone? or is it something at&t doesnt look at

I Rebooted into download mode and it says KNOX Warranty VOID:0
So i guess I am good with this one......?

Never saw the KNOX before in download mode...So it must have came with the 4.3 OTA
If the replacemnt comes preloaded with 4.3 and I root theres no going back for non rooting warranty issues
If it comes with 4.1.2 i should be ok...cause my others came with 4.1.2 and i rooted and installed 4.3 and 4.4 roms , odin'd back to 4.1.2 and never saw knox before.

It's new in the 4.3 OTA MK6. It is separate from the flash counter and CANNOT as of now be reset. They can see it in the same place the flash counter is.
It will show 1 which means warranty void. If you can get one without 4.3 do it
This is what it looks like now:
Triangle away still works but the knox counter stays no matter what!
Edit: If it is still showing 0, then you are good to go
Geeve

thats good news LOL
4.3 preloaed=screwed if i root it
4.1.2 preloaded= no knox, free to root, flash, unroot and reset , send back with any non root related warranty issues.
Glad i didnt root the OTA in the meantime while i wait for my replacment..
Thanks for all info and help Geeve

You got it and no problem
Geeve

So i guess no custom 4.3 or 4.4 rom will install KNOX behind our backs..Just the OTA and any possible updated bootloaders if we dont pay attension and flash one
Baseband/Modem updates should not install knox...correct?

Correct! all the custom 4.3/4.4 roms use a leaked bootloader and most if not all have the knox stuff removed. It is only the MK6 OTA for our phones that is screwing us right now. We can still root and flash, but warranties are void..
Geeve

This topic won't help me?

Looks to me like you have the official MK6 OTA. I wouldn't mess with it if you have to return it. That other thread wont help.

[Q] How to get back to stock from 4.4.2 KK (not OTA)?

I flashed the UCUCNE5 ROM with custom recovery (TWRP) and rooted. I am probably going to sell my Note 2, and was wondering if there is a way to unroot the device and flash the stock recovery + a stock ROM that enables OTA updates? I don't really care about the KNOX counter, as this device is not under warranty anymore..unless the KNOX counter prevents OTA updates? Thanks!

Just unroot in the settings of supersu and then flash 4.1.1 or 4.3 stock firmware

Knox will not affect the OTA...
And likely the only people that would care about Knox would be corporate users needing the container intact. .

Wait what?

Tripping our Knox to 0x1 can permanently make our device stay at custom status?!?
And we won't be able to update anymore?? Omg......

Does that mean I can download and install software updates now?? (sorry noob here). And one more question since I fully unrooted and factory reseted to reset custom status but failed, if I root my device again will my Knox trip again and keep adding up? (0x2) unless I freeze Knox services

And I don't care about my warranty, all I care about is that I can be able to update my device and changing my device status to official so I can be able to resell this device to anyone

Can anyone confirm This??

I have rooted, installed recovery and installed custom ROMs. Then I've used Odin to revert to stock, and my pro 10.1 recognizes updates. Installed them, no problem. I've done this several times.

Mine tripped Knox but still had OTA updates went through with no problems, you just can't check manually.

You can update but without root, correct? Since it will say device has been modified if you are rooted.
Tab Pro 8.4

I think you still can, you will lose root status so you will have to re root. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
Only nexus devices cannot update when rooted from my experience.

Just update using odin. The only updates that are stopped is the OTA updates.

Samsung doesn't allow updates on device with root or knox tripped.

This is a non-issue as the new RUU is available at sammobile within a few days after official update, no issues after flashing with Odin.

Pingpong root question

I just got my insurance replacement and it's on 5.02. I installed pingpong root and it took but I have a few questions.
Is device status= custom normal?
Is software update pop-up normal? I was under the impression pingpong root blocked the OTA update.
How do I check if Knox was tripped?
Sent from my SM-G925T using XDA Free mobile app

Status custom is normal since it adds files to the system directory.
Ping pong doesn't block ota updates.
To check Knox boot into bootloader and look at the counter there.

Will Knox trip if I update and root? Aside from fixing the ram issue, what is the advantage to upgrading?
Sent from my SM-G925T using XDA Free mobile app

Anyone?

Yes. Short of using Engineering bootloader and manually flashing the rest, there's no way to root the recent version without tripping Knox.

If you want to root ur phone then why bother with the Knox issue. Or idk about this,but u can try install rom that create by other and install it on ur phone. I dont think it gonna trip Knox

On any official bootloader flashing a custom recovery will trip it.
