hope this is the correct place to post this. i wanna post this to help those that are/were in the same boat that i was in prior to flashing the full 4.3 MK2 tar file. excuse my noobness as i'm not sure if the 4.3 M919UVUEMK2 is bootloader or baseband. if you know what it is, please correct me. thank you.
current rom i'm using is the infamous alpha s4 12.04 12.14.2013 (release date i think) --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362636. after flashing this rom, there are countless issues regarding loss of data, call drops, etc. prior to flashing the full 4.3 M919UVUEMK2 tar, my issue was more on the side of not sending and receiving mms w/o having to disable wi-fi (after flashing 4.3's modem.bin to change baseband from MDL to MK2). unfortunately, this didn't really help me at all, honestly, til i read:

i've also searched about getting KNOX'd. sure i was scared about voiding warranty, because i have this s4 for about 3-4 months only, lol. in any case, i downloaded the full 4.3 M919UVUEMK2 tar file (read this post from same thread above: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48669487&postcount=4399), and flashed it, rooted my s4, flashed philz recovery (the latest), clean/wipe phone, and re-install alpha s4 12.04. after doing all of this, i was worried again about getting KNOX'd so i double check and triple check and no KNOX -- me very happy. the only downside is that triangle away doesn't seem to work on MK2, so my counter is 4 and, yes i can send and receive mms w/o having to disable wi-fi . i will constantly test calls on this rom to see if there will be any drops or what not, so we'll see how it goes.
hope this isn't TL;DR lol. i'm still very new at this rom scene, and i hope to get better as a user because i can't program worth a damn :laugh: also, i hope that this will help or lead others to help them in finding their solution in other 4.3 roms out there.

To answer your question, the mk2 is a firmware version. But if you break it down you have a mk2 boot loader, mk2 modem, etc etc. The firmware contains all these things and their all mk2 version. So you can have mk2 firmware, mk2 bootloader, mk2 modem/baseband etc etc. Mk2 is just the firmware they came from

yes. don't have another phone to take a pic of my sgs4 in it's download mode; but on the top left of the screen, in download mode, it tells me this:
ODIN MODE

ofc, please correct me if i'm incorrect about these things. i'm assuming that from this pic on this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47878403, indicates the phone is in download mode and that that is where to check for KNOX. again, correct me if i'm wrong
thx.
Hate to break it to ya, but that is not the mk2 Knox enabled bootloader.
If it was , under system status it'd say Knox kernel lock 0x0 and under that Knox something else 0x0.
The link you got the firmware from, which was on Jamesons AFH, must of contained the mdl bootloader

i thought i did reply correctly. like previously stated, i don't have another phone or camera on hand to take a pic of my Download mode, what i listed is all that i saw on when i'm in download mode. so, there is no KNOX Warranty Void: 0x0, or 0x1 on that screen.
pretty much like shiny said above, the mk2 tar file that i flashed from jamison904 did not have the 4.3 bootloader in it; and it seems to be a good thing lol. hope that helps.
I am not sure that it did not trip the Knox security..

The only way to find out if it 0x0 or 0x1, is to install the Knox app itself !
Yes, it will let you install it to a certain point & when you try to set it up (if your Knox is tripped) it will tell you that it can't be installed !
Then you can uninstall the app.

There is no much discussion on this application (for none rooted or custom ROMS), but if you manage to not trip the Xnox security flag, this app is somewhat a nice to have.
It creates a second UI (User Interface) on your phone with ability to customize it completely differently from you regular settings with some Samsung (I know, many will considered it as bloatware) specially design apps for Knox.
It is useful especially, if you intend to keep some concealed info, documents & videos...etc.

Not true.... The flag is displayed in download mode. Just like the flash counter. So to see if you tripped it you do exactly what the op did. Boot into download mode and you'll see 2 lines regarding knox with values. 0x0 if not tripped 0x1 if tripped

If you would read my previews post carefully you would see the your answer is redundant (you repeat what I already said to the user).
What I meant is, in case you don't see the Knox warranty void 0x0 / 0x1 in your download menu, then the only way to find out, is to install the app !

If it's not displayed in the bootloader, said user doesn't have the Knox infused bootloader. So there's nothing to check. I think you're referring to the other flag. The flash counter. Which isn't the same thing as the Knox.

My question really is how did this happen? I thought if you flash that Tar file you automatically pickup the 4.3 baseband and knox with it. Could this be remaining from you updating just the modem? For me the problem is that I cannot seem to update the modem to mk2. I do not really see any advantage of locking the bootloader with Knox and if my screen stops working stupid T-Mobile will find a way to refuse to fix the phone!

How'd he flash 4.3 and avoided the Knox bootloader? Package he flashed wasn't official. Either the aboot.img was removed or was replaced with mdl aboot.img

Do you think you can point me to a package like that where I will not pickup the bootloader? I have been trying to just update the modem using odin and keeps failing. Maybe flashing a non knox tar file will do the trick to get everything to work properly so that I flash 4.3 finally!
Maybe the OP can also post a link to the package he flashed using Odin!
Hello guys..
I have S4 mini Duos i9192.
Version is BML1.
Is there any available rooting method to root this version without tripping Knox flag?
And if the Knox flag is tripped to 0x1, the the samsung service center wont accept my device for free service. is that right?
Pls suggest.

For saferooting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 which won't trigger the Knox. And if it can't root, it won't touch anything.
Regarding Knox triggered and warranty, they've been various of feedback. Do a search in the forum you will see. Some people do manage to get some sort of warranty, and some got flat out refused by their service centre.

I was so ready to chef it up for this phone,
figured i get to the latest firmware and start from there, there had to be a way to revert it if any..
tisk tisk.. speeding i hit this freggin obnoxious knox case
now what i am asking is for a bit of intel..
what can i do to get around this and get to really building again for this phone ( SCH-i435 ) besides get a new one?
I brought it back from a brick with the help of a few but now i wanna customize my way,
can i flash a modded kernel?
recovery?
rom?
really, what can i do? if i can't do much I gotta get a new phone, lol.
Thanks in Advance
I am not sure cause I have ran into the same problem. I think once time Knox is tripped you might be able to flash from Odin. Maybe a new bootloader can be flashed, one workout Knox on it but not shore still trying to research it.

hi !
I heard lots of things about bootloader Knox on the net ,and for to clarify (the truth ) :
This new bootloader with Knox flag (waranty) is ONLY a "simple" counter !!! no other .... you can use your phone normally , no restriction at all !!!
But Kies software,(in theory , need to check the phone (so , this counter ) for to work ...and there are big chance that he don't reconize the phone (i have not tested myself )
....and the only way to flash a rom stock is by ODIN , it work !!! ( official stock signed work fine with Knox flag tripped 0-1 ! ) and for example with these official site ====> http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ good:
but with Flag tripped too ,i belive that the bootloader Knox security is "definitively" OUT and Knox don't work cleanly ==> not important at all !!! completely Useless ......we are not politicians,militaries ,in the FBI,NSA,CIA ,business .....who need "very" strong sécurity ! it's "too much"
....and last android version have SElinux security (efficient and sufficient ! )
Flag tripped is a very big confusion with waranty because for example in Europe with laws: the manufacturer Samsung must support on SAV rooted phones ! ...... but Samsung is out-of law (illegal ! ) to refuse phone with official stock rom ROOTED only (because flag tripped) !!! Damn...

For starters, Thanks!
2 begin:
So what you're saying is that with knox tripped you can't flash custom Rom or recovery or kernel
But with knox installed as long as not tripped one can flash away?
I'm asking cause I love to build my custom Roms for personal use and unless I'm just off with my code I can't seem to flash a custom kernel via odin or get a working recovery going yet. Stopped trying as hard cause I thought knox was in my way. But if I can go head to building I'll get back to it right now, lol.
Sent from my SCH-I435 using Tapatalk
yes ..... no !
i have said about stock officials firmware !
with odin ,all work ! as usual , we can flash CWM ...and after customs rom with .zip ......i have said that we "can use your phone normally , no restriction at all !!!"
And you can build stock with last update ,but without Knox bootloader too ( easy for a dev ) for to update !
(example with my french forum : http://www.phonandroid.com/forum/li...msung-galaxy-s4-mini-lte-gt-i9195-t78266.html )
BUT !!! if some people update the old bootloader with the new one (with Knox) .....it's too late !!!! definitive ...
no solution for backup old recovery , impossible ! ( like reset the Knox )
It seems that it's not an "e-fuse" (spéculation ! ) ,but a script written somewhere on the bootloader , "read only" protected with a code .

When I first rooted my S4 mini duos with a kernel that gave root but didn't support my wifi, it set the KNOX flag (should have researched better). The thing is that to recover wifi (and lose the root) I used Kies to download and restore firmware. Kies allowed me to do so and "repaired" my phone without much issue. (Of course, the warranty void bit was still set even I after I fixed the phone with KIES) I think the warranty bit is just to tell the service people that you flashed something in the past, and doesn't block KIES or other operations.
The Knox *software* (not the boot loader) , however, does do some stuff that makes it harder to have fun with your phone , like blocking rooted apps unless you disable it.
As others have said, the Knox bootloader is only a counter; a flag to let Samsung know that you have a non stock kernel.
I have an I9192 and rooted with saferoot. Didnt trip knox. I then flashed TWRP which did give me a 0x1 on Knox. I am not worried about the warranty, so no big deal. I have a stock ROM....MK4. All aspects of my phone work fine.

Well I'm off the next couple days hopefully I'll figure something out. I'm experiencing build errors, wanted to ask orca86 for some help but he's not accepting pm's. Not sure of who else to ask. Think I know what to do to fix but would rather some input before attempting cause it'll be my phone first.. I'm sorry we don't have the device's source code yet cause that would help a lot. I can't wait to get us Rockingham! Lol

I saw that the galaxy s4 Verizon version have this safestrap recovery, why there is no tmobile s4 safestrap? Thanks.
Short answer: because we don't need it. The M919 already has an unlocked bootloader which allows us to replace the stock recovery with custom builds such as CWM and TWRP.
Also, nb4lock.

Well as far as I know the jelly bean 4.3 update comes with Knox which has a locked bootloader. And you can't downgrade, check out this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544503 that's why asking if there is a safestrap for Tmobile Galaxy S4.

I am interested in someone answering this question - I am selling off by i337 and have bought m919. Will appreciate if someone explains because I read that m919 has Knox, but when I asked I was told its ok to flash recoveries. It confuses me
Basically knox is there to void your warranty. You can root, flash new kernels, and ROMS, but it will flag knox. Doesn't mean you can't do it, it just means that you'll no longer be able to send your phone back to samsung or tmo for warranty service. Flash away!
I tried safestrap while I was on 4.3 just to mess around and it worked fine for me, but as mentioned you don't need it.

So you was on 4.3 with Knox locked bootloader and try safestrap, but you said we don't need it like they said above because the bootloader is unlocked, so that means you have an unlocked bootloader with the 4.3. I don't get it .
Also how you installed safestrap
I found the instructions on the Verizon S4 forum

Well as far as I know you can root it with a locked bootloader but you void Knox Warranty 0x1. Or I'm wrong that's what I read.
Only if you flash a custom recovery or rom then yes you get 0x1

So what do you do to your phone so far
I never upgraded to the full 4.3 firmware, so I'm free to flash any ROM and GSM modem as long as I don't flash the 4.3 or 4.4 LTE modems. Those LTE modems are tied to KNOX and render your phone basically useless if you don't flash the full firmware. But, even if you do flash the full firmware with KNOX, you can still root and flash recovery. The consequence is that the KNOX counter will be tripped and Samsung or T-Mobile will take note of this if the device is ever returned for repair or replacement because tripping KNOX voids your warranty.
KNOX doesn't prevent root or lock your bootloader. Because I never upgraded to KNOX enabled firmware, I can still send my device back at no cost to myself for a warranty claim if I ever need to do so.
I installed six axis controller app to play GTA San Andreas with my PS3 controller, install Xposed to do some modding on my phone

What do you mean you've "tried kingroot, pingpong root, and every other one out there and still nothing"? So you have tried them all and were unsuccessful? Which S6? Which firmware are you running? What happens when it fails? Which recovery? You're not going to find anything that will crack the firmware without flashing something through Odin or recovery dude.
You will need to learn how to use Odin. Here is a tutorial on how to do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv0BnfpNxEs
Download and, using Odin, flash the TAR file from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=44922
Your phone will reboot and you will have root.
You can also install TWRP through Odin.
You need to use Odin for this. If that is too complicated for you, then you are out of luck.
I'm on the newest stock firmware, OL1. Will this method work on my device?

Yes. I just updated to OL1 myself, flashed the kernel and then TWRP and I am rooted with custom recovery.
Happy holidays!
Thanks for the speedy reply. Can confirm this worked on my device. Happy Holidays indeed!

Until someone creates a prerooted kernel with systemless SuperSU or prerooted tar file, everything with trip knox. If you flash ANYTHING "Non Samsung", it will trip Knox!

Hopefully that wont trip knox, they had a app that would reset it on the s3, wish someone could do that with the s6

After this phone, I really don't think I'm ever getting another Samsung...
There is absolutely no app that will reset Knox on any Samsung phone S4 and after. Triangle away never reset Knox, it reset the flash counter on older boot loaders. Once Knox has been tripped there is no way to reset it without replacing your motherboard.
