Hello Firiends,
I had upgraded to official 4.3 MK4 and tried rooting it.
Unfortunately I triggered the Knox counter to 1 and still couldnt root my 4.3 SGN2. n
Nevermind.
When I tried downgrading it to 4.1.2, it failed.
So I downgraded using my nandroid backup and success. My nandroid backup was a rooted one.
Now when I use triangle away to reset flash counter, It does not reset it!!
I flashed stock recovery and I am on stock kernel.
Please help! I NEED GO TO THE SSC in a day or 2.
When I reset the counter it shows
Custom (yes 1 counts)
Binary : Custom
And the last option as Official.
Problem is you upgraded to MK4 bootloader with KNOX. You can't downgrade now. Possibly don't try to flash any other bootloader. You could have a brick.

Basically I dont want to downgrade.
But i can go to the SSC only if my binary and everything is official and flash count is 0.
I couldnt root on 4.3 MK4. Knox stopped everything.
Any fool proof method of rooting on 4.3? So that i can be done with the flash counter using triangle away?
4.3 MK4 with Knox counter 1 and everything official. Samsung said they can resolve it only if i visit the SSC.
PS: I have tried almost every method to root.
also Bricked devices are covered under warranty, arent they?

Hi ,
I also did the blunder of updating to 4.3 yesterday. I didnt know the knox would create a big problem. Only when I rooted it showed me the knox as 1.
But I was able to root (only root) with stock recovert. But unfor it increased the knox to 1. I am not downgrading or doing anything now .
Why you need to go to SSC and are they aware of the knox being set to 1 ? Will they reset the knox to 0 , if I am at 4.3 ?(I have not tried unrooting though)

Flashing Stock MK4 through PC ODIN should set counter to 0.

Sure sir?
Edit : It did make it samsung official, but still "Yes 1 count" is there.

OK so I rooted using the toolkit because I wasn't aware of the flash counter issue. I was able to reset the counter using the counter fewer app but I was wondering if I flash stock unrooted build and then reroot using the flash tripping free method will I then be free of the flash counter or can this not be undone at this point?
I think the app triangle away will reset you back to 0 if you do like you say. But in not 100% as I haven't tried it. You should even be able to just flash a stock Rom root with toolbox then flash stock boot and recovery. Then reset the counter and remove su. Again I'm not 100%. Also if it's not your carriers official Rom it will still say modified in the download menu.
I suppose the counter is only an issue should I need a warranty claim on it?
speaking of which, is there a thread on how to revert the phone back to FULL stock? base radio with su removed, and flash counter reset

Triangle Away works for this model now. And you can download stock Roms and Push it to the phone using odin.

A quick google search would've came up with that.
so, i'm reading this forum for 2 days now and i didnt get any answer.
i installed stock XXUBMJ7 (4.2.2) firmware with odin. Before i new anything about knox and stuff, I rooted, and get knox waranty void 0x1.
then i installed again XXUBMJ7 firmware with odin and didnt root again. (because i hate warnings at the boot). i still have 0x1.
now, I have two questions and i need simple answer.
1. Can I install newer stock (4.2.2) XXUBMK3 firmware with odin? will it work?
2. can i root my installed stock XXUBMJ7 firmware again and then install [CWM][ROM]GT-I9195XXUBMK3 deodexed, with no knox bootloader? will this work?
thanks
anyone?

U can install new one no problem i think .
But your Knox flag will remain so u can not reset it
Hi
I am using Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100
I did a mistake by not doing more research before rooting my phone and now my Knox flag is 0x1.
I upgraded my phone to Android 4.3 then rooted it with Chainfire autoroot using Odin.
Now I am not able to remove KNOX bootloader also if I try to flash a KNOX free bootloader Odin show unsupported device error and device gets soft brick then I have to flash Chainfire autoroot again to start the device again.
Is there any way to get KNOX free bootloader? or to be with Knox bootloader but everything fine like it was before.
Disadvantages are
I can't use Knox feature now.
Cannot update my device OTA or through Samsung Kies so downloading form Sammobile and flashing takes a lot of time.
I don't have any other problem I am running on stock rom 4.3 but I want that I should able to update my mobile OTA and if possible able to use KNOX feature again.
Thank you
Have a nice day

So far, this issue of 0x1 back to 0x0 is still fly high in the air. I read a lot of thread regarding this issue, until I myself also a bit headache
But, from my understanding after reading so many thread... Once it tripped, there's no way to return back. And you can't (theoritically) to revert back to 4.1.2 bootloader, but perhaps, there's a way. And yes, once it tripped, you can't use any KNOX features.
I still have no better conclusion as well regarding this issue. I got read 1 time somebody is able to revert back to 4.1.2, but still with KNOX 0x1. Most are failed. You may want to read all the thread regarding this issue with a search.
I'm here not to answer exactly on how to revert back. But just to share what I know regarding this tripping issue. To be frank... I also want to know about this, as I need to root my MJ7 Note 3, which so far... no solution yet for the tripping KNOX, so I still hold on to it.
YOu can root if you have not trip 0x1 without tripping it.
antique_sonic;49546705
I also want to know about this said:
I found a way today on the internet that If Note 2 is at 0x0 flag you can root it without increasing the count but it will show custom that you can revert back to original by triangle away may be there is a way for Note 3 too.
I have already rooted so problem starts here

I used triangle away also this is my device status in Downloading mode.
Custom binary download No
Current Binary Samsung Official
System Status Offcial
Knox Warranty Void 1
but in Software update you device is modified. May it is showing you because you have already the latest update. Please can you tell me the Device status in Downloading mode also please report back if you are able or not to download update OTA when available.
Thank you.
Same boat
My phone is in the same boat as you. My desire was not so much KNOX as to have 4.3 with phone encryption and root. In order to succeed with my desire, I have to leave the stock 4.3 recovery intact. This greatly reduces my root options. I had root before the update, but it was unable to update after going to 4.3. I tried Kingo in an attempt to fix root, but to no avail. I decided to unroot and re-root. I used Kingo to unroot. From there I had to run saferoot a few times before it was finally able to install SuperSU and associated files. The version it installed is the latest so I'll have to wait until the next release to find out if it can update. Everything else seems to work fine except ES File Explorer appears to no longer be able to mount the /system RW.
saferoot can be found over here

Hello guys!!!
I have a Galaxy Note II N7100 for the past 1 year. I recently installed Hurricane v 8 rom which is based on 4.3 firmware.As I was using it, I realized the RAM was increasing up to 1.3 GB, the only thing that could fix it was to reboot the phone. Later I watched a youtube review of a Note II with an official 4.3 installed and the RAM was about 600 MB on that persons phone. So I went ahead and downloaded a 4.3 firmware N7100DDUEML4 from sammobile.com. After the installation via Odin I boot the phone and it was fine. I read a few articles on how I can root the 4.3 firmware with CF Autoroot and did it as it should be done. After the reboot, Knox blocked the SU and the KNOX flag went to 0x1. After all this I decided to install Philz Recovery via Odin and got access to recovery. My plan was to recover my Hurricane Rom that I previously backed up. After Philz recovery restored the Hurricane Rom, I got stack on Boot Screen. Because Knox is flagged 0x1 I can't install any firmware via Odin anymore. So the next step I did is to restore my phone via Kies. I managed to successfully restore it and now I have a 4.3 firmware N7100XXUEMK9 firmware and Android Status As Enforcing. How can I get root access with this firmware and what should I do with Knox flag 0x1?
Thank you in advance guys!!!
The SafeRoot exploit has been confirmed working for N7100 too (check here), but it can't help to reverse Knox flag 0x1. Try it out. it should work. Anyway, why bother warranty after 12 months?

Thank you so much for your reply, yeah it is true but it is not that I am worried about the warranty, I want to revert back to a different rom and patch a bootloader so I can install custom firmwares.MJ5 bootloader patch doesn't work for me. Is it possible at this time to patch this MK9 or it is still unsolved issue? Thank you once again for your reply.
I have read a lot of posts & make sure I understand the details before I upgrade to v4.3. The far too many failures for upgrades that I've ever seen prior to v4.3 make me more conscious than ever. I'm on MJ5 bootloader & successfully loaded two different custom ROMs without any problem. I suggest you to do more reading in this forums prior to the upgrade. If you're on bootloader newer than MJ5 then I would suggest to stay with the bootloader & root it with the Safeboot method then clean up the KNOX crap. It should work great after the upgrade, root & clean up. cheers.

Sup Guys!
Thinking of rooting my phone (running on 4.3 Jellybean) again but this time I want to go with TWRP since CWM (Philz Touch) gave me a mini heart-attack last time (couldn't clear cache). Want to root again to Back-Up EFS, before I Unroot again and Flash Stock Rom
would be great if you guys could give me a step by step guide still learning the things to do with Android (NOOB)
BTW I don't think I properly unrooted my phone since Knox still reacts to it

Its possible that you could extract the recovery file from your main rom and flash just that. I dont know if that would work. The risk free version would see you reflash the stock rom and simply reroot with saferoot. It doesnt trip any counters and is properly simple to use. Although I did have to change between mtp and camera a few times before it picked up my phone sometimes. Ive rooted with it a few times now.

Lol I already tripped my Knox counter to 0x1 I rooted my device before with not enough knowledge on rooting (didn't know saferoot yet)
So I have to
-Flash Stock Rom
-Reroot with the Saferoot method
-Get TWRP (with Odin)
-Backup EFS
Then I could go back to stock Recovery?
I'm running on stock rom and stock recovery right now but my Device Status is Modified and I want to reset that with Triangle Away
Sorry for asking so much question still new to Android
If all your wanting is an efs backup then root with saferoot, get your efs backup with this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yahoo.dr.ketan.efsn7100
And then use triangle away to reset your binary counter. That wont reset the knox counter though so is probably a risk not worth taking. I have used triangle away before successfully but there is a risk of bricking it warns you about. If your warrantys already in the pan theres no real point to it.
After youve got the efs backup you can use the superuser app to unroot and use application manager to remove superuser application. Thats if you want to unroot. I stay rooted as I use apps a lot that need root.
you dont have to mess with recoverys at all if its just an efs backup you want or is there something else?
