Hello !
I just updated to stock DDUEML4 (baseband : DDEMK1). Everything works fine but the downloading/odin mode displays Warranty Void : 1 which is probably because of KNOX I'm unable to find any solution on the web to go back to non-KNOX rom and remove the counter. Please help !

Yes its a KNOX counter. I read somewhere that downgrading the bootloader removes KNOW, but for now I'm not going to try that as I might even brick my phone

Yes I know.
There's a post by Dr.ketan to remove knox by downgrading the bootloader, but not sure whether it would work for my ddueml4 rom.
But I'm thinking to root and install a custom 4.3 rom.

So after being inactive for months I came across stuff about "KNOX"(Knox free etc) and MIJ MJ5 stuff and that it looks like its hard to downgrade or something like that, can anyone explain me what exactly KNOX is and what MIJ is?
I assume MIJ and MJ5 stuff is the firmware version.. and roms using those tags in their title are based of them? Or can I only flash those when I have that firmware?
I actually didn't even have any problem yet.. but I've been running official MIUI for the past months anyway..

Sure, maybe you have to search better I suppose.
OK no problem you need help you are saying if I understood well, knox is new security function for secure phone's communication for company use etc, it is using many levels of security starting from bootloader and goes to system etc etc Google it for more information, also knox checking your system for rooting etc and voids your warranty (look at note 3 forum), is difficult or impossible to remove it, but if you have already install it drketan made a patch for n7100 which is removing successfully knox from your bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2500823
Follow the instructions and knox finished from bootloader, after this
you can downgrade to 4.1.2 use triangle away flash stock f/w restore warranty etc
Little bit more searching noone hurts

So if knox is installed, i will still be able to root, but its somehow setting a value which manufacturers can check and see if I rooted or what? (I also don't believe I have Knox im not sure, i updated to 4.3.x once via odin but only used that to fix my EFS and then go back to CM10.2 and or MIUI (depends on my mood))
You can see if you have or not at download mode volume down +home+power at last line, it is writing knox something.... . Knox is present at mj5 second leak 4.3, if you have it you need to use drketan's 2 patches to remove it before downgrade.
Are you ok now? Your questions answered?

Hello,
Fairly new to android and rooting. Only rooted one phone (Dad's gs2 bc it had firmware and camera issues) but I was successful.
Using a virgin Galaxy S4 on tmobile since april only mild battery issues. Was waiting for uodate and shocked that we only get jellybean instead of 4.4 kitkat??!!
So question:
Upgrade and lock bc of KNOX and just wait?
OR
Dont upgrade and root and add kitkat now?
Is it worth the upgrade?
Galaxy s4 on Tapatalk
KNOX doesn't lock your phone. Its builtin to the 4.3/4.4 bootloader and if you root or flash roms, it trips the flag and voids your warranty. That is all. If you don't care about the warranty, flash away. You can root your current firmware and flash the 4.3 or 4.4 roms that are on thr forums that have KNOX removed. I'm on 4.2.2 and Ive upgraded using flashable roms and came back without having to worry about KNOX

That would be handy, as bouncing around the threads on the update and the initial ROMs being developed leaves a lot of questions and there are a number of soft bricked devices because of it.
Apparently, if you want to stay totally away from knox, you cannot simply flash the new radio as-is, as without having loaded the new knox bootloader, a number of functions will not work. And if you just flash the new OTA based ROMs, you can have problems also,
Work is being done to de-knox the radio, but I don't know where that stands. Nor am I sure if when that is done if you will be able to flash and use the new OTA ROMs and also revert to 4.2.2 without having to first revert to previous radio.
So again, a guide on living with knox would be helpful.

I'd like to know whether, if I upgrade to 4.3 using Kies (I'm on rooted 4.2 stock), I can re-root and remove Knox (as I've done in 4.2). I know I can re-root, and permanently void the warranty, but I don't know if Knox is removable in 4.3.

If you upgrade to 4.3 via Kies you will trip KNOX if you change ANYTHING. Once it's tripped, you can't clear it.
The only way to avoid tripping the KNOX flag is to use a rom with KNOX removed
Can someone clarify something for me. Does having the 4.3 bootloader and knox 0x1 prevent you from flashing CM/GE/AOSP/Non-TW4.3+ ROMs? I've been staying on the old bootloader and am considering just updating. If the knox 0x1 only affects warranty and not flashing of any ROM I want, then I don't care if I have 0x1

Only voids warranty afaik. Why not stick with the old bootloader and just flash new roms without the new knox bootloader? Best of both worlds.

Np. In my honest opinion, this new bootloader is just another middle finger to the consumers under the false pretense of solidifying security measures for the few coorporations that have actual need for KNOX. This is Samsungs way of avoiding responsibility for failed hardware. Okay enough ranting lol. New bootloader serves only as a way to inform Samsung or the store you are returning to that your warranty is void.

Skipjacks said:
As for upgrading to 4.3 you do not need the 4.3 bootloader and you don't want it. It has a way to show that you've previously rooted the device that cannot (as of yet) be reset.
Just flash 4.3 ROMs in recovery. Anything you find in the development section will work fine. But if you want Wifi Calling you HAVE to use a T Mobile specific Touch Wiz ROM. You cannot use just any Touch Wiz ROM or any AOSP ROM at all.
If you want the T Mobile Wifi CAlling on the stock 4.3 rom and don't want all the other BS that comes with it, use this guide...

Umm, many people with real jobs have security requirements for their mobile devices. KNOX has nothing to do with Samsung attempting to avoid responsibility for hardware failures. They have nothing to do with each other. Where did you get this BS from?
I guess it is the interwebs so people can make up anything they want.

I specifically stated in my first sentence that it is my personal opinion. I also stated that corporations do use KNOX but not to the extent that everyone needs to have it pushed out to them without a choice. Quit getting your panties in a bunch and learn to read.

My panties are not in a bunch. KNOX has nothing to do with the samsung warranty in the case of hardware failure. Your opinion is useless if it is based on garbage. Make sure you know what you are talking about instead of making stuff up when giving advice.

You're not reading anything I wrote and are living in your own bubble. Your arrogance precedes you. I've stated the facts and I've stated my opinion, if you can't connect two and two, you shouldn't be responding in the thread. Now kindly be quiet and bring the thread back to topic.
Hey, as my Note II is still under warranty for a long time, I'm looking for a 100% sure way to root without my files getting lost and the KNOX counter going up.
Right now:
Fully stock Note II running 4.3 (N7100XXUEMJ9, updated via Kies)
What I want:
Rooted stock ROM and stock kernel, just to use apps that require root access.
Warranty not void
Thanks!

I have PM'd a few Mod's who had closed threads concerning rooting without tripping knox, who from their post history at least, looked like they where in on the discussion on whats going on.. Nothing back from any of them yet (even asked for direction to the proper thread to get updates)
Sadly, as the last thread I saw was closed on NOVEMBER 6th due to IMEI and HTTP concerns, there have been 4 new release's for the Kingo software, and yet I cannot find a single XDA thread (admittedly 20min~ is about my limit for the site search engine) about if any of those 4 updates resolved the issues XDA had with the root tool...
I desire to simply remove the bloatware, not void my damn warranty... screw you Samsung for disabling the DISABLE feature for BLOATware...
Hi devs! Here i'm asking that is there a suitable version available of t"try angle away" app for sm-a520f, to reset the flash counter? Sorry if it is being discussed somewhere, i didn't find by searching. I'm a new owner of a5-2017, so i need this to safeguard my warranty.

Do a research about the new knox. It.s an e-fuse. Once that bit is burn on the emmc, it can.t be erased
However there might be at some point a kernel which spoof Knox. This won't reset warrznty but you'll at least br able to use things like pay
Ok, I have been looking for knox and e fuse and I totally understand now. To bad it is done this way.
