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.

Hello everybody.
As stated in many threads.. "THIS ROOM WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY".
I am currently on leaked 4.3, root, recovery installed. Flash counter is on 0, and everything is ok.
If I want to change rom I'm pretty sure the counter will go to 1. Can I get back to stock via Odin and then using TriangleAway and similar, without losing warranty? By resetting binaries and so on?
I mean, in this firmware version the bootloader and Knox should be ok. Am I right?
Thank you for your help

Thank you for your reply.
If you flash counter is normal, nothing much to worried about status, as this can be corrected with flashing stock ROM/Wiping.

Basically MI6 rom has not Knox related problems, so I should be able to flash and go back if I chose a MI6 based rom, with the same bootloader.
Am I right?
No firmware has been released for note 2 that has a KNOX enabled bootloader uptil XXUEMJ2.
The XXUEMI6 firmware does contain KNOX app but that can be disabled easily.So don't worry about the warranty(in case of MI6)and flash happily.

Shortly: No SW installation can void your warranty. We can flash what we want
Hi,
I'm using a rooted N7100 with a stock rom (4.1). Is there any way to upgrade to 4.3 without voiding the warranty?
thanks!

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?

read it here.
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
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?

Yes you can as long as you have stock recovery.
Type from KitKat bar.
I would like to ask : Does the MJ5 bootloader have knox warranty bit in recovery? I would like to flash it, but i dont want to have knox counter.

No, it doesn't, it is the last bootloader that works with 4.3 and 4.4.2 that is KNOX free.

I got another suggestion which i found out 2 days ago which doesn't need upgrading bootloader to get wifi working.Flash any 4.4.2 custom touch wiz ROM and you wont have wifi working.Flash nadia or agni touchwiz kernel and you'll have working wifi.It seems those custom kernels have wifi drivers so people who are on bootloaders older than MJ5 are using latest touchwiz ROM without upgrading their bootloader.Custom kernel alone is getting the job done. Ofcourse you can flash MJ5 bootloader anytime which is knox free and will have working wifi without the need of custom kernel.

I advise you to flash the mj5 not have to be with kernel like you can not because there are many who are not going well and can do much to restart.
