Please help.
Thanks to all in advance.
Flash stock image back using Odin just like you flashed root. Knox will still be tripped

why did you remove it? I would think that you could either reinstall TWRP and then install the stock rom or flash the stock recovery from Odin through odin. clean rom has built a stock rom that is only missing the Knox items with the addition of root. my understanding is that goo manager would be able to help you with all of the above. Maybe somebody else could verify this?
I cant seem to find the stock rom.
The reason for all the questions, is that I need to get it back to stock, to avoid a possible warranty issue. The real problem is that I can get WiFi to stay on, it keeps going gray confused

Sorry to say this, but you cannot untrip the warranty flag once you have rooted this device. How much this is going to matter for your warranty claim is not yet known.
You loose your warranty once you flashed twrp.

Your software warranty is null and void. You will have to pay out of pocket to fix it. When you boot into download mode, no matter what you flash now, it will say "Warranty bit 1", which means bye bye warranty.

I got my note 2 (I317) from ATT days ago and dropped it while it's naked from my pocket. Now the screen and the corners looks really not nice.
I have flashed it with custom ROM cause it does not support any SMS other than English and Spanish, not even Korean !
I know ATT won't honer the warranty for the 30 days period once they found that and m really regret that I refused to get an insurance for such a device.
I have the stock recovery but triangle away cannot set flash counter to 1 as the ROM is not stock.
Anyone could help me out I will honer rewards

Did I make myself ? Hope you could help me.
Sounds like you will need a stock Odin Image.
You can try flashing stock rooted odex rom but I am not so sure that will help.
IM sure someone will get a odin tar soon. Why do you want to send it back to AT&T if you damaged it?
They wont take it back with physical damage will they?

I assume it's within the 30 days period and they will at let me return it (damages are not that obvious) for a $35 restocking fee. They case I bought there is not really helping again any damage and the flip cover is silly in my onion (hard to use with one hand)
I just hope someone would be making the tar within the next 25 days.
Can I try flashinging your stock ROM with the Model.zip I have using the CWM recovery ?

So if flash counter is set to 1 that means you can still qualify for warrenty repair?

No you cannot. Even if they helped you replace for the first one, they will found it and void your warranty on their end. Unless you gave them a real brick so they cannot response before force it into download mode.
Even if you flash your device (any device from ATT) a Samsung Stock ROM will void the warranty. Chainfire's triangle away can only set the counter to 0 and reset the statue to Official when you have the stock recovery and stock ROM. Meaning you can have your warranty back if you stay on the stock ROM.
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 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.

I just want my mistake fixed im so mad at myself for doing this I am not a pro at this at all and im scared of what to do, I really need someones help.... can kies update the phone and fix it? or can I wipe data/factory reset?

you need to provide more information. What recovery your using and what version, what rom, bootloader version, how you rooted your phone, etc etc. Also, the search bar is your friend.
We all have lives outside of XDA we cant post a response as soon as a new thread comes up. Be patient. Like I said, do a little searching while your waiting for a response instead of waiting for someone to do it for you.

did you finally foun your answer that you where searching for? if not i know a method to unroot the phone and put back to 4.3
email me if so : [email protected]
Since your are running 4.3, you cannot flash anything newer older than 4.3. Do not flash any 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 ROM as this will make matters worse. ATT never released a complete stock 4.3 ROM that could be flashed via Odin. You can try to debrick it using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068
Edit: According to another thread, DO NOT USE Kies to re-install the firmware. It WILL BRICK your phone.
Can you get into download mode? Has the Knox counter been tripped? If it hasn't been tripped, maybe you could get it repaired under warranty. If it's been tripped, you can still try to get it repaired under warranty. Just be prepared for Samsung to refuse warranty service because Knox has been tripped.
Hi guys after a week of testing note 4 I'm returning my Note 4 and getting Note 3 back biggest dealbraker is the Sprint Spark no voice and data at the same time.
My question is how do i unroot it so there is no super U or TWRP I'm using the stock rom that came with the phone I just want to do the factory reset and return the phone. The ppl that will take the phone back will not even know hot to get to recovery I expect. How do I get rid of the TWRP recovery?
To anyone out there considering the switch from 3 to 4 Don't Do It! its not worth it unless you just got money.
Thanks!
anyone that does not see the different between the 4 and the 3 must not understand much. Sayin'
The N4 is the best phone I have ever owned. I have used all the HTC Android phones and also most of the Samsung phones, including all the Note series.
In one of the root threads, there is a stock tar file to run via odin and your back to stock unroot.
Many should not assume and research the device before purchase. As it may have been a dealbreaker for you and others. Many have also known this prior to purchasing phone. And still paid to have one. Personal preference. .........

This will not reset knox, but it will get you back to official unrooted with factory recovery. I've personally had a rooted phone serviced at a corporate sprint center with no issue's. But some places care whole others don't, hope this helps.

As far as my store goes, we don't check to see if it was rooted or not as long as you're within the 14 day return policy and there aren't any damages to the phone.

I completely agree, it's by far the best!! I went from a LONG list of HTC's --> Note 2 --> Note 3 --> Note 4. Im shocked everytime I hear/read someone say that Note 3 --> Note 4 isn't much of an upgrade. They both have a 5.7" display, and a similar overall size, but that's where the similarities end. Note 4 is an absolute beast and destroys every other phone that's available!
Hello Folks,
Nice site you have here I've heard it said that hacking is the new avant garde.
I have a: Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. GT-I9195 4.2.2. I got it here new in Germany a month ago.
A week ago, I tried to install Lollipop and didn't really understand what I was doing. Something seems to have gone wrong.
Now when I switch the mobile on, the Galaxy Logo appears but also a little yellow text message: "Set Warranty Bit : kernel" at the top of the screen. After this the mobile does nothing except display this message.
As I understand it, I should have 'rooted' the mobile first before trying to flash Lollipop via Odin. Correct?
Also, as I now understand it, I should have placed Lollipop on the SD card before trying to flash the mobile with Lollipop. correct?
I'm totally new at this and would appreciate it if someone can help direct me towards getting the mobile working again? And if I could run a better version of software I'd be thrilled!
Kind regards...

Hi there, according to my understanding if you have bought the phone recently, the stock version should have been 4.4.2. But anyways, u cannot flash Lollipop via odin. U need a custom recovery like cwm or TWRP for that. Not sure about the "set warranty bit" thing. May be KNOX has been tripped.At this moment i would suggest you to download a fresh firmware, from SAMMOBILE, to your to PC. Then flash it via ODIN. Thanks.

Hello Matesurano! Thank you for your help!
Hi there, according to my understanding if you have bought the phone recently, the stock version should have been 4.4.2.
- Yes you are correct. It's is actually 4.4.2
But anyways, u cannot flash Lollipop via odin. U need a custom recovery like cwm or TWRP for that.
- Thank you for this info. I was not aware that this was the procedure. I will somehow look into this method.
May be KNOX has been tripped
- Yes, I believe that Knox has been tripped. Mobile screen reads:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9195
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2
WRITE PROTECTED; ENABLED
Using Odin I've tried to flash these files but had no luck in getting the mobile to boot up and work.

Check the file names of the rom you are trying to flash via Odin as they do not match your phone model. You are flashing the wrong version of firmware by the looks of it

To this moment there is no official lollipop firmware for the galaxy s4 mini, however you can always use something else like cyanogenmod (i personalidade dont like it).
Here is a download link for KitKat official release.
I CANNOT POST OUTSIDE LINKS ww w.sammobile. com/firmwares/download/46699/I9195XXUCOC2_I9195BTUCOC1_BTU/
Good morning Yilun,
Thank you for your help and your suggestion at SamMobile
When I check that link you gave I see that it is a UK firmware. I am in Germany and see that a 'Germany (E-Plus)' firmware is available for download and since that is the carrier my mobile is from I will go with that one. I hope it will work!
I will not be able to have access to a Windows computer until Friday but will try to flash the mobile then and report back my success.
RuffBuster, I appreciate you trying to help but if you can do give more info next time in the way that Yilun has then that would be more beneficial to the people you are trying to help. some extra direction can go a long way.
Thank you to everyone on this forum
Kind regards,
Jona

To much effort for people who do to little reading... you shouldn't attempt any kind of flashing without doing the appropriate research. I spent weeks researching before I did anything with my phone.
And 2 seconds with Google you would have found this website. "Samsung firmware" and voilà the first search result.
Next time don't be lame and tell me what I "should" of done. Just be thankful I answered at all...
RuffBuster, Your answer contained no useful info. If you are not able to actually elaborate on the help you think you are giving then you are not actually helping anyone. Seems like you just want to give half answers to stroke your ego and collect posting points or something. Tell you what though, how about you do yourself a favour and go outside, there is a whole world beyond your phone. Feel free to write something childish back, I promise won't read it.
