Hello,
I got a new Galaxy s22.
It's been years since I had my last Samsung.
my question: Does Knox still triggers a flag on the hardware level when a custom ROM is flashed on this phone?
Yes.

Hi all
Quick inquiry and I didn't see an exact answer to a question that I have. So I have a note 3 rooted and knox flag currently set to 0x0. I was reading I think on here and some other fourms that knox has locked the bootloader. I want to flash a custom recovery and I know it will trip the knox flag. Is the bootloader locked already or am I able to load custom recovery without any issue?
Do you have the T-mobile version? If so, then no, the bootloader is NOT locked.
Flashing a custom recovery WILL trip the Knox flag though.

Hi. I kind of in the same situation.
I am a Note 2 user since it came out and have tried many ROMs without problems. I recently upgraded to Note 3 and I haven't touched anything (rooting and flashing) because I remember reading before about some problems with Knox and eFuse or something. I got a T-Mobile note btw.
Do I have to treat Note 3 differently when rooting and flashing because of this knox, efuse issues?
I tried to look for a clearer answer but I'm still hesitant to proceed. Or is the process the same as rooting and flashing ROMs on Note 2?
Also, I have a Jump insurance with TMO, is this going to have some problem if later I have to claim replacements or upgrade? Thanks a lot. Really appreciate the help.

Well, from where we are right now with the Knox counter, if you flash ANY ROM or Kernel, then the Knox will trip, and will void your warranty. You can root using Root de la vega, or Kingo root without tripping the Knox counter.
I am not sure from a T-Mobile standing if they will give you a hard time with warranty if the Knox is 0x1. I have tripped my Knox counter, and have Jump also, but I honestly don't care. I am sure that SOMEHOW in the future we will be able to reset the Knox counter....I hope anyways.
Did that answer your question?

Yes you did! Thanks a lot. Important thing is at least I can root. I think I'll be happy with the stock TW, I'll just install some launcher instead.
But I need root for TB and other stuff.
Thanks!
Hi all,
I am getting a 2014 Note 10. SM-P6000 Octa Core variant for Christmas. I recently also got a Galaxy S4, on the S4 when i got it i downloaded the OTA without paying much attention and of course going from 4.2 to 4.3 put KNOX on there..... I'm hoping that with the Note I'll get the chance to avoid taking any OTAs and avoid KNOX entirely. However what I wanted to know was if Knox was default for the Note? Can we avoid tripping the flag yet? On the S4 it is still not known for sure whether or not an efuse is in use? Do we know if there is an efuse on the Note? Is the rooting method that has currently defeated knox on the note 3 also working on the Note 10.1? Finally I suppose the final question I have is if i hold out on rooting it and whatnot will we EVER be able to bypass KNOX or remove it WITHOUT tripping the the counter? Sorry if these questions are noobish and or answered elsewhere.
Thanks

HI all,
Just upgraded from an S2 > S4 Mini and I'm trying to get a grip on this Knox thing. I do not care about the warranty on my phone one bit, so will it prevent me from installing a custom recovery/rom/etc at this point? Like I said, I don't care if the flag trips to 0x1. Unfortunately my phone appears to already have the OTA update so it does have Knox on it for sure. Thanks!

I've seen S0be has a working CM in progress.
Will rooting trigger any binary counter on the LG G3 like KNOX being 0x1 on Samsung Galaxy S5? And how about flashing a different rom/kernel other than stock?
(I don't wanna lose my warranty, had serious issues with the galaxy s5 and recently switched to this device)

Rest assured theres no hardware implementations that will result in problems if the phone is rooted/custom rom installted
Just simply reflash a stock image using the LG Service Tool and it should remove all traces of rooting/custom roms
Hi,
So this question is more aimed at the folks living in the UK.
I've recently had to start using my girlfriends old Samsung Galaxy A3 due to my Galaxy S5 dying on me. Because she knows that I have a real big liking to rooting all my phones and then putting custom roms on it, she has said that I can do it to her old phone so long as she can sell it to CEX after I get my new phone.
Only problem as you guys know is that when a custom recovery is flashed to the phone the KNOX flag is tripped from 0x0 to 0x1.
My question is this... If I were to root and flash a custom rom onto the phone, and then once finished with the phone, reflash the stock rom and recovery onto it, do you think that CEX will take the phone despite the tripped KNOX?

I sold em note 4 last year (2 years old so out of warranty) with Knox tripped. Wasn't sure if they would take it or not. I never mentioned Knox being tripped. I restored it to stock tho before i took it. They never said anything.
You can ask or just go through the sale process an wait and see.
