Ive had problems writing to system and such for ever and recently i went into the bootloader to do stuff and i saw knox kernel lock is still 0 (as in in a stock state) i was wondering if disabling knox somehow would fix this issue, and if so how?
it also says "write protection enable" help please

I've noticed that there's been some discussion about the new knox bootloader in regards to rooting our device. Now, when I boot my I9505 into download mode I get this wall of text in the upper left corner telling me "knox warranty void 0x1 blah blah" and likewise when I boot into recovery captain obvious knox pops up in the corner reminding me that I'm running a custom recovery.
Now that I have rooted my tablet and flashed TWRP via Odin I have yet to see a single sign of that infamous knox flag. Download mode - nothing, recovery boot - nothing... nothing except my settings telling me my device status is custom, and even that can be spoofed via Wanam Xposed.
Am I missing something or is the knox bootloader simply not present in my firmware version? (XXUBMJ6 NEE/nordic countries)
Also, has anyone had success using TriangleAway on the P600 to reset the flash counter? Not that I currently need it, just curious..

hi. I want to know how you flashed TWRP for P600 as i cant find the file anywhere on the internet. . I rooted it using a stock recovery. I froze the knoxx apps as they were interfering with my root and giving notifications on a security threat. Please any help with TWRP i cant find it.

There is a big discussion about this in a german forum is use:
http://www.pocketpc.ch/samsung-gala...278-anleitung-root-fuer-note-10-1-2014-a.html
It's weird that the p600 does not have the same download mode display as the p605. It says nothing about knox on the p600 download mode. So the guys on the other forum are confident that triangle away should work to reset the counter on p600 because it's not a knox flag. But as far as I know Triangle Away does not support the note 10.1 2014 yet. So I guess we have to wait and see

Strange, strange... because first I got this. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538464
But now the text in the left corner is missing. Maybe because I use the wanam tweck? This means that there is - maybe - no hardware flag
PS. Also when I open the system update in the settings, I didn't get any longer a warning that the update is blocked?! I got it in the beginning...

Thanks for the reply and the link.
A "warranty void etc." message has popped up in download mode as of now but you're right, it says nothing about knox whatsoever, and the strange part is is that it didn't appear until I actually flashed a mod via recovery and wiped cache/dalvik. Before that there was no message in the corner, even though I had already flashed cf-root and TWRP via Odin.

Same here. Even though there were no updates available at the time I last checked I got no warning message.
Maybe the P600 just has less security implementations than the other versions for whatever reason...
''Knox warranty void 0x1'' is the KNOX FLAG. It means that you cannot use the secure Knox container, and you will not get OTA update. Of course you can download and install new software updates.

No warranty too, though, sadly...

Yes, but it does not say anything about "KNOX" or "0x1" when I enter Download Mode. I should also correct what I said in my previous post. It doesn't say "Warranty Void" but rather "Warranty Bit: 1".
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-P600
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
WARRANTY BIT: 1
This is identical to how it used to be on the old 4.2.2 non-knox bootloaders and it's NOT the Knox flag. It's the binary counter.

I have SM-P605. I think Knox bootloader is present from 4.3 onward. If SM-P600 has Knox app in the apps drawer and Knox security apps under Application manager then it's likely to have a Knox bootloader Tripping the Knox flag means the Knox container can never be accessed or used again but the phone/tablet itself is OK for regular use. I have not come across a phone/tablet with Knox apps and non-Knox bootloader.
Knox has been mentioned in this SM-P600 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618509

Whether a Knox bootloader is present in the P600 or not, then at least the flag is not visible in download mode or during boot. Either way I'm satisfied as long as I don't have to be reminded every day that my tablet is running an unofficial kernel and recovery.

TriangleAway still works with the KitKat KNOX enabled bootloader but the counter it resets is not the KNOX warranty flag. If you've flashed any unsigned (by Samsung) image to your tablet, including custom recoveries, kernels and/or ROM's, or rooted with CF Auto Root (which flashes a custom recovery) since upgrading to KitKat 4.4.2, your KNOX flag has been triggered and your warranty is already voided.

No you dont get my question im aware of knox and I dont want to touch it but I head that rooting changes the system status to custom in download modeand in system it changes to modified and if samsung see tht than the warranty if void so once again my question is when I root with vroot or with kingo root they both dont touch knox and than use triangle away and SET system status back to official or normal and after formating will the official or normal status stay of will it be turned back to custom/modified

I haven't used either of those rooting methods so I can't answer that. According to the Kingo website the chances of tripping the KNOX flag are 1 in 1000, but they don't mention the flash counter. OTOH, Samsung claims that KNOX can be tripped with as little as a custom kernel initialization script:
For example, some KNOX security mechanisms, such as SE for Android, will trigger an e-fuse if the system is booted with an arbitrary kernel, kernel initialization script or data, and therefore be disabled and no longer function correctly.

I know you said that you're not asking about the KNOX implications but maybe you should. Regarding resetting the flash counter and custom configuration with TriangleAway, I suggest posting your scenario in that thread and hope for a response from Chainfire, the developer of that app. If you can root with one of those methods without tripping Knox, my experience is that after using Odin to flash the stock ROM and running TriangleAway when I was using the 4.2 ROM and bootloader there was no indication on the bootloader screen or using the stock ROM that "tampering" was detected, but things might have changed with the 4.4 bootloader.
Good luck, and please let us know how it turns out.

Well non of those methods worked I had to root via odin so bye bye warranty
I'm new to samsung devices but i have a good idea about knox now.
I rooted using autoroot and all is good but supersu keeps telling me it detects knox and can disable it for me. I canceled everytime since knox is not causing me any issues and my apps are getting root access just fine. So should i give in to supersu demands and let it disable knox or not?
Knox is pretty useless. Its a security app from samsung. You already tripped knox so why no disable it lol. When I was on stock i saw that it was training battery. So i rooted and disabled it and nothing is wrong. If you dont use knox, then you can disable it. Knox sometimes blocks root from certain apps.
Correct me if I wrong but if I root n7505 Knox counter will tick. I also heard that if you first flash firmware which has built in root and removed Knox then Knox count stays 0 is that so? Then what rom can be flashed through Odin? If I want to flash firmware with root and no knox what are my steps?
I found video showing root process with root genius and saying that knox stays on 0 in this process. Did anyone actually tried it and can confirm?
.
i really dont want to trip my knox counter... any solutions?..mine is n750.
Have the same issue. That video clearly states that knox stays untouched, but I simply cannot test, I must be sure. The video is up for 7 months now and no negative feedback is given. I can't believe that no one tested it.

Hello, after a search on these forums I could not find any topic about my specific problem so here goes.
I purchased a secondhand P605.
When I checked the Knox trigger it said 0x1, which made me wonder if anyone tried to root it before. It is not rooted at the moment, and I am unable to root it because Knox prevents it. I did update it to Lollipop.
So, I took to the Web and tried to disable Knox. This seems impossible, due to the fact that I don't even have permission to enter the Knox container!
Does anyone have any idea how to disable Knox when one doesn't have access to Knox at all?
Thanks in advance.

If you updated to 5.1.1 then you need a modded kernel to root. Install TWRP, then flash new kernel and then flash supersu.
Your P605has definitely been modified either with a kernel or recovery, that's why you have Knox trigger 0x1.
Will try that , thank you.
