????!! There was never a time when installing a custom recovery did not void your warranty.

Simply put, custom anything (recovery,root,blabla) = no warranty.

However, up until this new rom, it was possible (unless your phone was too badly damaged) to undo your modifications before claiming any warranty.

Now the difference with the new bootloader is that it introduces this security feature associated with Knox, which flips a virtual switch that cannot be unflipped, if you tamper with the stock rom.

I hope this was clear. :cyclops:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JGS_:
So once I install the 4.3.1 rooted stock rom, I can never go back to official state ? (I'm still running 4.2.2)

Are there any other consequences? Like nag screens, impossible to upgrade in future etc... ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
The Knox flag is the main consequence. And it is extremely important if you're interested in warranty. So I suggest you read up on it...:p

---------------------------

@ DjeMBeY : We are looking forward to a fully functional CWM 4.3 with today's kernel by ausdim! Everything works now with the old bootloader :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] -Sie-:
Just wondering:

Has anyone had any problems claiming on Warranty yet with Knox flipped?

Has Samsung officially stated they will not honour any warranty if Knox is tripped?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nikzDHD:
Ausdim has updated his kernel with new 4.3 sources :thumbup:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JGS_:
I just read some more about knox. Isn't it simply possible to create a rooted 4.3.1 from an official rom without the new bootloader and without knox ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
Not with the stock kernel. It doesn't agree with the new rom... and you lose wifi, sound, and other things depending on what you mess with.

However, in my previous post, (and it's also in the post just above you), I mentioned the latest development: a new kernel is out that works with the new 4.3 (there is no 4.3.1 btw) together with the old bootloader.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JGS_:
Ok, very very interesting! The question is: will I lose sound and wifi with that kernel too? Because that seems like a serious disadvantage :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davidep85:
nope, I9505XXUEMJ5-PRE-ROOTED-Ausdim-KERNEL_V5-DeODEX-KNOXFree-SupeSlim-CWM.zip is working fine! with new kernel sources is better!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
No, that's why I said "works" :P As davidep85 says above, it looks like everything works now with the old bootloader, thanks to ausdim's kernel.

If you are still with the old bootloader and want 4.3

1) Install a custom recovery (PhilZ touch works great) using Odin.

Reboot.

2) Download I9505XXUEMJ5-PRE-ROOTED-Ausdim-KERNEL_V5-DeODEX-KNOXFree-SupeSlim-CWM.zip from the 3rd post and flash it using the custom recovery you installed in step 1). [If you want all the apps i.e. not a "superslim" rom, you can copy whatever you want (excluding the Knox stuff of course) from the Deleted apps into /system/app inside the zip, to make it more complete, before flashing it].

Reboot.

3) Install the MJ5 modem using Odin (in PHONE). You cannot flash modems via recovery, so it is not included in 2).

Reboot.

4) Flash the new kernel via recovery.

Reboot.

Done. Fully working rooted 4.3 with old bootloader, with no Knox stuff.

Of course your warranty is void, but you can get it back by installing a stock 4.2.2 rom (e.g. MGA) if you need it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LoveMyNewTelephone:
Is it possible to run a modified version of the 'KNOX_0x0.sh' script (only the part that deletes the bloat ware) from the 'Terminal Emulator' app when your device has a rooted Stock ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JGS_:
This sounds really great. The summum would be an odin flashable root firmware which includes the modem , the old boot loader and the ausdim kernel :) I think this should be possible if I understood everything properly. Replace bootloader and kernel, remove knox apk's, dedodex and root it. Then repack to odin flashable firmware. No need for CWM or other custom recovery's.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
If it's a MEGA rom, sure you can.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davidep85:
is someone using 4.2.2 modem with 4.3 rom? does it work?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LoveMyNewTelephone:
No, it is the I9505XXUEMJ5 Stock ROM, and the stock recovery. But is is rooted.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
Then no. However, you can run it through a terminal emulator as a simple script, or just manually delete the files you want, it's no big deal...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LoveMyNewTelephone:
I don't understand. Why not? Whats the difference?

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

That was my question. So, the answer is, Yes.. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
Well the difference is that in Mega roms the script is executed automatically on boot.

It doesn't work very well, no.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davidep85:
thanks, so only mj5 or also older 4.3 modem?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
You're right, my bad :) So, yes :victory:

Uhm, I don't know sorry, you can try and let us know. How many other 4.3 modems are there anyway? MJ5 is the first official 4.3...

Hello,

One question. I'm on MEGA MJ5 with new Bootloader and Knox Flag 0x1, can I install Philz recovery? ( to make backups and other things)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
Short and probably best answer you'll get: yes

But about backup last time I used it didn't restore it completely. So my backup wasn't working

[True Friendship doesn't exist]
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaTrED_:
Taken from another thread - [i9505][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch

"I just did my first restore MJ5->MJ5, with SElinux ticked both during backup and restore, and it worked almost as expected. I say "almost" because, in the end, under 4.3, the recovery (5.18.5) always says that "root was possibly lost" and asks if I want it to restore. I answer "no" off course and the device reboots correctly, rooted."

Have you ticked that option?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lewis0214:
Hy.

Today my phone just died, I think. It is freeze and reboots automatically 1-2 mins after a restart. Before it did this, I installed again the MJ5 because I have the same problem before. Made factory reset after installed MJ5. I rooted my phone with KNOX_0x0 method and works great. Restore all apps and data with Titanium Backup. Works fine again. Made a "restorecon -r -v /data/data" command with Terminal emulator (for making the apps works fine) and after I reboot and now I have the reboots in every 2 mins.

What can I do now?

You can try to find what causes it. Install a completely stock rom and see if it happens. If it does, you will need to take your phone to a repair centre.

DjeMBeY, one doubt.

I am on MEGA from last days and i now got a doubt. Everything is working fine, so no worries, although i can see that flashing another time it would void my warranty, so:

1) As long as i stay on flashed firmware i wont have problems considering i dont flash anything else?

2) If i want to go to safe side, as u suggest on first post, and i follow your process, i will still have 0x0 knox?

3) Considering the status, am i doing anything wrong?

ODIN MODE

SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM

KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0

CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

WRITE PROTECTION: Enable

eMMC BURST MODE: enable

SELinux Status

Enforcing

SEPF_GT_i9505_4.3_0010

Device Status

Custom

Just be fast enough after reboot to delete the knox_0x0.sh file on your internal storage. That should do the trick.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ffsbro:
Thanks for explaining! I knew that as I've used TriangleAway before but didn't know much about Knox.

Would flashing a stock MJ5 rom be fine as long as I don't flash anything after it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Brendo:
Do exactly as it says and everything (including wifi/sound) will work fine. I would suggest a factory reset after though as it can lag at times if you don't. And update to latest ausdim kernel while you are at it
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ffsbro:
Lol, my KNOX_WARRANTY_VOID is 0x1, guess my warranty is gone right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sarbe:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] KenHua:
No worries! If your phone is broken to a point where Samsung can't read anything from it, then they won't know if you have KNOX 0x0 or 0x9! I'm not suggesting that you use microwave to DE-KNOX it, because that would not be fair to Samsung who gave us this notorious Boot Loader!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lewis0214:
My phone is alive! :D

Maybe the problem was with the modem, I do not know.

I flash via Odin the ROM and the Modem together and now it is works fine! But of course I remove battery a couple of time.

By the way, is there a way to totally brick my phone? Just in case if I have a problem with my phone and I must go to Samsung and because of KNOX 0x1 I have no warranty but I would like to repair it for free?

Mhm I just got a problem after flashing the KT kernel.

I am on the I9505XXUEMJ5-ODEX-MEGA-KNOX_0x0-FULL and the KT Kernel TW JB 4.3 version from 10-23.

When trying to switch on the Wifi it got stucked with "switching on...".

I cannot not turn if off - it tries to switch on forever.

What didn't help:

- reboot

- clear cache+dalvik

- flash wifi fix for MJ5 (twice)

It is now always in the state where it tries to switch the Wifi on.

Any suggestions?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oluwaponmile:
I had the same issue with too, the only way you can get your phone to start is by plugging the charger in.

It was the battery that was swollen and it got to a point that it was even pushing my screen out and the back cover too. Went to Samsung repair centre here in the UK and battery was replaced without question as it was a known issue with S4 with certain battery batch. Just have to say to them that phone was less than 6 months old.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Not much activity (ATM) due to camera problems if you unlock BL... Sony is working on it..

Rooting takes few seconds and doesn't require unlocked BL, same applies to TA partition BackUp (with DRM Keys) and Custom Recovery...

You need unlocked BL only for Custom Kernel's/ROM's with Custom kernel..

Anyway, no KNOX, no System Status, no BS.. :p

Yeah, no worries, I still have S4 and S3 so I'll carry on with it ;)

I installed aosp (now on pacman 4.3.1) before all this knox crap so I haven't got all the crap that goes with it.

Which rom would I need to install in this case? Obviously without knox, I haven't gotten a pc so it has to be Cwm flashable.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dimkit:
You are laughing but Samsung become what is it today, because of the devs community. What do you think that all the trends who buys now Samsung devices wake up a morning and said I will buy tomorrow a Samsung phone because it is beautiful. NO they ask some friends who know more about mobile devices. And these persons dislike lock devices. Year by year Samsung became a trend like iPhone. I don't say that after a month or a year Samsung will see its selling to reduce. But I said that now there is a free road for a new company to rise(I don't know if its Sony or somebody else) .And I'm sure that after 2 or 3 years Samsung will loose the leadership in the market. 2 friends of mine were going to buy a new phone these days and I was planning to buy 10 new smartphones from my company next month. Guess what that's won't be Samsung devices.

I don't say that Samsung will remove the knox bootloader because the devs will sell their devices.I am saying that as a consumer who wants to be respected by the companies we must say goodbye to Samsung. Maybe it is silly for somebody but me as a consumer I found this unaccepted and i will try to find something else.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dandroid13:
But hey, there's no lock! You'll just end up with no warranty... And BTW, they sell a lot because of the high budget on advertisements. I don't think Sammy will loose its position anytime soon, for example, LG wants to sell 10 million G2 by the end of the year, while Samsung sold 40 million S4 in 6 months (considering the S4 variants this could be ever higher). You see, there's a lot of difference. :)

I laugh because we are the minority in the game, and I see a lot of hate in a few comments here and there, it's just funny. :p

It means that you didn't read enough..... and flashed INCORRECT WiFi FIX :p

Hmm... Is anybody (old enough) remember NOKIA Rules-Times?? Back then, nothing could bring the down but they made HUGE mistake and went for Symbian... This move costed them everything but I don't think that same or similar thing could happen to Sammy due to High-Spec and Android on board.. They WILL lose many customers (mostly Root-Users) but it's not going to be enough of us leaving to bring them down or even change their polices.. :p

We all have a choice and Sony seams to be the most user/dev-friendly (ATM..) They giving everybody free hand and proper tools to mess with your device.. Since you can backup the TA partition (thanks to XDA devs), you can revert back to stock and be under warranty all the time.. Simple as that.. I'll see how it goes but so far, I'm more than happy with Z1, my first Non-Sammy Android Based LAG-FREE device.. S4 is nothing to compare :p

WiFi FIX for Odin is a NON-HLOS.bin and this is MAIN FIX, for example:

- old MGA/MH1 FIX but ONLY if using Custom Kernel and old BL or

- FIX matching your current FW if using new BL (MJ5 FIX for MJ5 FW)

Another and different WiFi FIX is to implement WiFi drivers from 4.3 GE into MJ5 and this helps with issue: "WiFi is getting stuck while turning ON.."
