Did anyone tried triangle away to reset knox counter to 0x0? I juste want to make sure it can be reset before rooting and losing my warranty. Or maybe someone knows a better way to reset knox
Post is in wrong format.
How can i change the format of my post please? And which format does it has to be? This is my first time getting a wrong format message. Thanks for the help
Youve set up a Q&A voting thread.
Next time create a thread with the default option, no need to check the Q&A box. These posts are only viewable in a browser.
Will not work. Triangle away was for reseting the unofficial flash count on older sammy devices. Chainfire issued a statement years ago when dealing with the s4 and note 3. The best thing you can do without causing harm to anyone is ask your supplier if rooting would void the warranty. I live in Europe and we can root and still be under warranty.
Here is the thread which states which devices triangle away works on

I bought Galaxy Note 2 and i want to rooting my device but keeping every thing official
i read Dr.ketan method no3 in the developer section
i am confused cause at the first he say
Method 3: - Recommended
Advantage :Biggest thing you can disable exploit and make device safer. Easiest, No PC Needed. Simply install apk to root device, No flashing/Resetting counter needed.
then at the end he say
Reseting Counter
Above method will raise flash counter and you will need to reset counter to reclaim warranty, Read next post for it (post#3)
so which one is correct i cant Post under developer section cause i am junior can any one answer me or ask him for me

Ok so here goes a long but detailed read. I am writing this in hopes other fido users searching may find this thread and avoid future questions. Phone came with the TW 4.1.1 from fido and is fully stock.
Brand new S3 Galaxy from Fido (same as rogers) i747M Phone is great but the rooting bug has caught me.
1. I plan to root the device fairly shortly and install a non touchwiz variant. I will be following "High on Android's" Technique. detailed in this youtube video.
Is that method correct for my phone?
or should I be following something different? I just noticed Mr. Robinson posted the Fido TAR with root injected already on it. Does this make any difference? Links to TAR file are here
2. Now assuming I get everything up and running. What is the deal with "Triangleaway" and flash counters? From my understanding, Samsung has a counter installed that ensures they keep an eye on voided warranties due to flashing. Sure thats fine but lets talk about what we can do.
From what I gather, Triangle away will sort me out and get rid of the counters and put them back to zero in case I need to send my phone in for warranty. Is this correct?
Most of the triangle away info I read is for pre 4.1.1 confirmations hence why I ask.
3. Now lets assume I have flashed thephone and I am running CM 10 beautiful. Oh no power button breaks. What will be the required steps to get my phone back to 'stock" to send to Samsung. Will this even be possible to send it in without a worry? I cant seem to find steps online for this.
4. A lot of guides talk about the importance of backing up. Sure sounds great but they dont seem to give detailed instructions. What are the most important things I should backup before, during and after rooting my phone in case I brick it or anything goes wrong? Again any link or detailed explanations would be great.
Sorry for being so exhaustive in my questions. I like to learn it all so I can help other afterwards but also structured the thread so its easy to search for future users.
Happy new year everyone!

I'm going to answer these two questions together, because they're interrelated.
There's no one single root method that's more "correct" than any of the others. The key difference between the end result of most of the methods is whether the flash counter has been tripped, which occurs (under circumstances where you're coming from ICS) if you use Odin to flash something other than a stock image (untouched or rooted as in Mr_Robinson's case). You can also trip the flash counter if you have the Jelly Bean boot loader and boot into a non-stock recovery image.
Thus, if you want to avoid tripping the counter for as long as possible, you want to use a method for rooting that doesn't trip the counter, such as the Mr_Robinson method.
If you're going to flash a custom recovery after working from stock JB, you'll probably end up tripping the flash counter the moment you boot into it, in which case (assuming your phone is still rooted) you could use Triangle Away to reset said flash counter.

I'd do the following:
Triangle Away, if the flash counter isn't 0;
Boot into download mode;
Flash a normal stock image from here; [*]Boot into stock recovery and wipe data/cache; [*]Boot phone as normal.

There are two major approaches you can take here, and using both of them responsibly is probably a good idea.
Titanium Backup, usable if your device is rooted, can back up all of your application data and some system settings; it's great for transferring data between ROMs and/or between devices altogether (I've done both). Most people I know of only use it for the former, as trying to restore system data with TiBu usually causes bizarre and unpredictable effects (with a few exceptions, such as text message data).
With a custom recovery, you can make what's called a "nandroid" backup, which is a complete image of your current ROM and userland data; it's most useful when you want to make a restore point of sorts for if you're, say, flashing experimental ROM images or other things you don't expect to work very well.
Hope this is of help.

It seems the flash counter is a lot less worrysome to me now that you indicated I can always go back to a stock rom and return it for warranty regardless if it has a counter or not. Now I wonder why people even worry about tripping it.
I'd do the following:
Triangle Away, if the flash counter isn't 0;
Boot into download mode;
Flash a normal stock image from here; [*]Boot into stock recovery and wipe data/cache; [*]Boot phone as normal.

So Sounds to me like I should not worry about flashing and warranty correct? There will always be a method to go back to my phone in order to deal with warranty if something physical goes wrong? Any guide you could point me towards for this? I found this http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-unroot/how-to-unroot-canadian-galaxy-s3-sgh-i747m-stock-roms/
but it doesnt mention any fido files (understandable since its new)

These two forms of backup I am use to and have used extensively on my nexus S. What I am worried about is more deep "system" type backups people do. is there any for this phone I should do through odin or Kies?
Edit: almost forgot to say thank you!

Thank you for your answer.
Which is better. With root dela Vega I don't loose my warranty? Sorry my friend. I don't understand very well this! But I going to read all.
If you call T-Mobile and tell them you rooted your device and now have a hardware problem.... you might have a problem.
If you leave out the root part and just describe the problems you are having most likely you will be fine.
If the device won't even turn on, etc... they can't see that it was rooted.
That said, you should really... REALLY read up on what rooting method you choose and the followup messages that are posted by those who use it so that you are aware of what issues you may run into.
If you do this fully informed, you should be both successfully rooted and able to deal with any issues you run into because you already read about it.
Also read up on what you can do with Root once you get it. Deleting a bunch of files is not a good idea if you are not really familiar with what you are doing.
Thank you for your answers.
This is my problem. When I turn on the wifi appears this notice...
I don't know what happen! But I received three replacements. And all they is the same problem! I really like the root cell phone. At the moment I have note 2 rooting. And it working very good!
But. Can anyone help with this notice. Please? By the way. The phone doesn't have any application, only of factory.
If you do a simple google search for prevention information samsung, you will find a ton of messages in many forums about this. It is a bug that many samsung devices are currently experiencing.
Hard to imagine you have gotten three replacement phones for this issue AND didn't makes this the topic of your question instead of rooting.
If you are rooted, you can freeze the KNOX apps and you most likely won't see these errors. I don't.

It is a bug, ie should not be happening.
It affects more than the Note 3 and is known. Assumption is that Samsung is fixing it. Don't know if the fix will come from them or T-Mobile.
I am rooted, used the De La Vega Root method when I got the phone.
As a rooted device, I can use Titanium Backup to Freeze the Knox apps and as a result the "bug" does not show.
I have not use for Knox nor plan to. Knox flag is 0x0 though.
Below shows the frozen KNOX apps.
Any one click apk or mac options? I dont have a pc and money is tight!

Hey guys, this is my first post on the forums, and forgive me if I am posting in the wrong section and if I am, please let me know where to post this question, thanks in advanced.
So I am one of the very many who are unfortunate enough to have android 4.3 On my Note 2, and then I was stupid enough to r00t it. So in turn, my knox count went from a nice 0x0 to an ugly 0x1.
So i did some reading and from what I understood, Sammy can reset it themselves but say goodbye to the warranty. I just got off the phone from a local cell phone repair shop, and the guy told me that he can reset it for me for 50 dollars.
My question is, should I trust this guy and have him reset it for me? Is he actually going to reset it? Or will he just hide it so the knox 0x1 doesnt even show at all?
My goal is to simply get the phone in a state where I can get it replaced under warranty, and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Again, forgive me if I broke any rules.
Sammy clearly can reset this counter...but I've yet to see any method posted from the development community...
Therefore...I'm Leary of the promises out there...g

Yeah, I am suspicious kinda myself. I was wondering maybe these cell phone repair shops have a special tool they order from sammy or something. Cuz the guy was very confident when he answered me and said "yeah We can do that for you and restore the warranty", it was almost as if he had done it a million times.
Anyways Ill wait a bit and ask around some more, thanks for the information though
if the repair guy is an samsung authorized guy then maybe he could. but if hes not then save your money and wait till devs on here have a way to do it. this way you know your not just geting scammed.
If his company had a deal with Samsung then he can reset the knox counter. I my last meeting with Samsung they stated we would be able to reset the corporate phones we are thinking about buying for my company in our own IT department, to avoid having to send them out to Samsung.
As I have said before knox is installed to keep employees from modding corporate phones. To the average consumer it means nothing.

Okay I got s new update on the whole Knox thing.
Samsung has confirmed it can be reset. Knox begin tripped effect the software of the phone only it does not trip an actual hardware fuse. However we are now being told that we will not be allowed to have the software because it might compromise the integrity of Knox for them to let other companies have it.
Do to this I asked a few more specific questions regarding the future of the phone once Knox has been tripped.
I can confirm that this does not void a physical damage warranty unless there is proof that the phones kernel has been modified. Not sure how they could tell but that's what they said.
Also I can confirm that it will not effect your devices ability to upgrade to new android versions when they come out. However when the upgrade comes out it will not be able to install the Knox portion of the upgrade. As long as Knox is tripped it will not reinstall on the device.
I can also confirm that the device will continue to operate normally with Knox tripped. Knox is designed to keep a small portion of the device compartmentalize, once tripped it removes that compartment and formats it into the rest of the device.
This is all per a Samsung 4 Business rep as of this morning.
They were actually pretty straight forward and open about it.

Thanks for the info.But you seem to have been told 2 totally contrasting stories,which makes me suspicious.Did the guy know that most,if not all private users want to remove knox,opposed to hack it or the like.They could potentially lose more private customers than gaining ones from business sector.
It seems to me you voided your warranty when you rooted it. Every rooting thread I ever saw states this.
Yeah rooting kills the warranty, but Im hoping by doing triangle away and making everything else look official, ill try to blame the 0x1 I got on hardware issues, since I truly do have a camera issue and a network bar issue, ill just say I called a Sammy rep and they took me through a procedure and this is what happened, ill see what happens

I dont expect them to replace my sammy phone, im just giving it a shot cuz the phone doesnt work anyways
after triangle away i made it look official as possible (attached pic) plus stock 4.3 rom, ill blame knox 1 trip it on hardware or faulty motherboard
see what happens, again i dont expect them to help me but ill see

Is this only true of the Note II?
Hi all.
This question has probably been answered, but I cannot find it in the sea of thousands of posts here.
I flashed the Phoenix ROM 16.7 and in Download mode I have KNOX warranty VOID - 1.
Now, this is to assume that I have lost my warranty forever, or there is some way to install, patch, upgrade, downgrade or anything to do to get the warranty back to 0 so I can take the phone to service?
I have tried flashing original N7100XXUEMK9_N7100OXXEMK4_ETL but warranty still says 1.
Any idea guys if it is possible to get the warranty void to 0?
Thanks.

That sucks.
Lets hope Samsung comes to their senses and enabled Devs to work with this.
I believe that Samsung has/will lost/loose many customers due to this, since many people like to flash custom ROMs on their phones
