Hi
Earlier this week, I received a notification saying that a new official Samsung update (4.2.2) was downloaded and needed to be installed.
After installing I realized that 4 Knox applications were added to the App list, and there were more counters listed in downloading mode.
Is it possible to downgrade back to the 4.2.2 that came with the phone to remove Knox?
It came with I9190XXUAMF7, and now it is on I9190XXUBNA1.
Thanks in advance

no ..and btw you should have been more careful about that .. u didnt have knox bootloader now u have ... if u flash any other bootloader or rom before BNA1 ur system will crash u cant downgrade ..also knox when turned from 0x0 to 0x1 it cannot be reverted back for now so u lose warranty if u have one
And if I do a hard reset?
Makes no difference. There's no way back.

There's no way back. If there was, everyone here trying to mod their phone and not lose warranty would be really happy and there would probably be more than one thread showing you how to do it.

Hi Folks, Greetings from Dubai.
Recently I flashed my device with the "leaked" or "official" Android 4.3 firmware on my Note II and was trying to tinker with CSC to change unfortunately couldn't succeed! downgraded to Android 4.1.2 things got messed up with, my Note II says I have custom ROM and KNOX warranty: 1 again I flashed with the same Android 4.3 things got back to Official ROM but I'm totally dissappointed with KNOX Warrenty: 1. When I tried Installing KNOX process works with downloading when it comes to install error message says: "Your device is not Authorized to enter Samsung KNOX mode" Kindly help me out with this issue.
Regards,
Note II
If you are trying to reset KNOX warranty count then remember KNOX warranty count is not reset able up to now.

Okay but I think it's not clear what exactly you are trying to do....if u installed 4.3 firmware than knox is already there in boot loader.

I'm on Android 4.3 Knox is preloaded when you click on it it will direct you to download option download process starts asks for passoword and PIN till here everything works perfect when you login in with password and PIN message says "Your device is not Authorized to enter Samsung KNOX mode" take a look at the screenshot
KNOX container has signature & its modified when you try to downgrade to 4.1.2.
u already mess up with the knox warranty..right now you can not use any knox related application as there no work around to reset the knox flag.
To the newbie out there, do not blindly flashing if you do not know what will you face afterward.READ and do some research first.If not, there is a chance you will end up like this user.

Hi,
I have Samsung Galaxy S4 with Android version 4.3 and Build number XXUEMK9 which I recently upgraded to via Samsung Kies3...
I can open the KNOX login screen but when I enter my username and password I get the same error "Your device is not Authorized to enter Samsung KNOX mode"
Can you kindly advice?

hi I know what is the problem.
see it happened to me also and I figured it out, there is no need to flash rom again. All you have to do is flash it with a accuwether widget update that's it .
you know there is new s4 weather widget, download files put it in your card and just flash it you are done..
you can get the link for download at you tube search for how to install s4 widget on note 2.
best of luck
btw your widget is not gonna change ok ,it will be the old one but your wifi problem will be solved.
Hey everybody,
I have a rooted N7100 on stock 4.3. I used triangle away and the normal counters are back to factory default. However the knox warranty void flag has been triggered.
Three questions:
- I'd like to receive OTA updates. But it looks like the knox flag is getting checked since I get "Your software has been mofified.." while checking for updates. Is there any way at all to remove the knox flag on a rooted note 2 with stock 4.3?
- If the question to above is a no, would flashing stock rom/bootloader all the way again patch the knox flag?
- If I'd like to flash my phone with the latest stock rom, I'm assuming the device gets wiped? Is there anything that'd let me backup my settings/files/apps/texts and have it restored once I flash the new rom? (I'm not sure if Titanium is the right software for this).
PS: My wararntly is long gone, but I'd like to have OTAs without having the phone wiped (like how I used to) OR manually flash the new stock ROMs without losing data. Any ideas?
Please help me out.
Thanks!
I have an issue with a modified status with a stock ROM, my device keep to say modified without root, I find out that the status revert back to normal without the SD Card.
It is to annoying to triangle away, disable root, remove sd card and update with ota. Now I download the update on Sammobile and I update with Mobile Odin.

Why bother at all, when your phone is no more warranty, 0 or 1 does not make a difference when u send in for repair, Samsung will still charge you for the service repair job.
Haha you're right, today I have a dual boot with 2 custom ROM. **** da police.
But I gave one OTA solution for the OP.
Hi.. i'm new to android and samsung things
that's why i'm here to ask something and hope could get a fast reply
Problem:
I have a note 2 N-7100 with 4.3 stock rom(unroot, OTA updated to 4.3 from 4.1.2)
I wan to know how to flash back to 4.1.2(4.1.1 if possible)(step-by-step)
done some searching over the net and all thread confused me
will 4.3 stock rom flashed to 4.1.2 or 4.1.1 stock will void the warranty(Knox)
What is the Risk i have to take?
Why i want to downgrade?
Crazy battery drain rate.. even when turn off the phone(1day about 8%)
Sometimes shuttering when hearing music
any reply is appreciate.. TQ
Your Knox flag will become 0*1. You can flash stock 4.1 through odin. But you will need to format your internal memory as well as your all apps will be deleted.

tq for the reply..
so.. i just need odin and the stock rom downloaded from sammobile
and i dont need any custom recovery.. am i right?
well the apps can be redownload
No you don't need custom recovery for flashing stock.
As joy854 said your knox flag will become 0*1. It means you lose warranty for ever and that you lose the ability to update the phone the normal samsung way.
I recommend to you that you try custom rom like hurricane or phoenix. I get more than 2 days battery with hurricane and note 3 apps.

So.. will custom rom void my warranty by trigger the knox?
Be careful!!
Hey man if you have taken the 4.3 update from OTA then you cannot downgrade to 4.1.2 stock because that 4.3 update came with Knox bootloader, because of that you cannot downgrade your phone from older firmwares which do not have that knox bootloader. It might brick your device mate, so just be careful man.

I am having similar issues with you, but i am not thinking of downgrading my ROM, You can solve the battery drain problem by downloading an app called Battery Doctor (tried putting a link here to it but the forum wont allow me since im a junior member, but you can search it out in the google play store) It is very useful and it helped me a lot. But after updating OTA to 4.3 I do get stutters when hearing music, a tad few seconds sometimes in between music. I wonder if there is a problem to solve this? Other than that. 4.3 works great on my GT-N7105. Thank you.

Yes, if you want root or custom rom it will trigger the knox thing
AFAIK flashing anything non-stock in odin will trigger knox flash counter. Root will be blocked by knox apps which can be disabled, but I don't think having root permissions itself would trigger the counter.
Personally I wouldnt care about the knox counter, so long as the issue was hardware related I would play ignorant; there's no way they can prove your device wasn't sold to you with a voided counter. That's not to say they'll validate your warranty, but with a bit of a fight the correct result would me they have to honour it - but no one wants that hassle.
Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum and I am a beginner so I must apologise in advance for my ignorance.
I was looking to downgrade my Note 2 from 4.3 to 4.1.1 to unlock it, and I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612485
I followed the instructions properly. I rooted my 4.3 with CF auto root, and then I tried to flash the 4.1.1 firmware onto my phone.
Now it is stuck at the boot screen, and I'm so shocked because I did everything correctly.
I can still get to "ODIN Mode" by holding volume down, home and power, and it says:
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Knox warranty void: 1
What have I done wrong?
Thank you.

On the first post that you've followed says that "It may or may not work for you" so you only have 50% chance. AFAIK 4.3 firmware has Knox already. Did you flash the 4.1.1 successfully? If yes, maybe Knox is restricting it from booting. If not successfull, maybe the files of your device have been messed up. So you have to flash again your previous rom using Odin. Why don't you try it. Since you already tripped your Knox to 1. Meaning you've already voided your warranty.

Thank you for your reply I flashed the 4.1.1 successfully, but it just wouldn't boot. 4.3 does have Knox but I disabled it when I rooted it.
I flashed 4.3 again, and to my surprise it worked, I'm really grateful mate thanks a lot
What does it mean for me now that I've voided my warranty? I can't update it anymore with Kies?

Great! AFAIK you can still update with kies. But you have to unroot your device first using supersu. There are a lot of rumors around there. Some said yes and some says no. Haven't tried it myself before actually. I always use odin. Since you got back to 4.3, what's your next plan? Hehehe.

Ok got it, thanks man. I'll probably use Odin from now on too.
Is there currently no way to restore the Knox count? The phone doesn't have warranty anyway but if I can't use Knox enabled software in the future I guess it will be difficult
Since I'm back on 4.3 I'm looking to see if I can unlock my phone somehow, I'm looking to study abroad soon and I need it done, and I can't do it through the official carrier so I'm a bit desperate. What do you reckon I should do?
In the tutorial that I mentioned in my first post, he didn't say that I should factory reset the phone. Shall I try downgrading again and then do the factory reset? Will it help at all? Like it says here: http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-downgrade-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/2/

Downgrading from Knox-enabled-bootloader to Non-Knoxed-Bootloader may brick your device. Your lucky that it didn't happen on your first try. From what carrier are you locked on? Since your on 4.3 Knox bootloader, maybe you can try other custom rom that depends on your current bootloader. Or try to upgrade to Official 4.4.2 from sammobile then install PhilzTouchRecovery 6.26.6 then root it, then find a custom rom that fits your device and can also unlock your device. Maybe you can ask Dr. Ketan if he has a rom like in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472270 for your device. And I think he can help you with all of your concerns. Cheers!
hi guys,
i'm asking for your help, I want to get my tab pro 10.1 Wi-fi back to stock,
I explain my problems, I rooted successfuly with Odin and I must say I didn't get all the informations before doing that, because I ran into porblems like random reboots, freeze of the tablet and it's related to the fact that I froze Knox with SuperSu. (and more of that I didn't knew that it would void warranty tripping that Knox counter to 0x1, and block updates :'( )
So now I want to get completely back to stock, and make that Knox work again and don't want to be rooted anymore.
If someone can tell me how to do it, it would be awesome
thanks to all., and have a nice day.

Download stock rom for your device from Sammobile web site, flash it using Odin then do a factory reset, you will get stock system back but KNOX will alwasy show as tripped you can't reset that to 0x0, it will remain 0x1
