[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] dave106:
When I flashed the first 4.3 posted on this thread (russian, odex) Knox was triggered straight away. I've yet to see anyone root their device without breaking Knox.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] braulio_holtz:
Does anyone have the steps to not give problems?

I have Cofface recovery
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Mutley-BR:
Hi, in my case I did:

1) Full wipe

2) Flash ROM and CSC odex 4.3 (Odin)

3) After install, remove supersu preinstalled and use ROM normally without root

4) Flash cf-autoroot

5) Update su binary and reboot

6) Installed solid explorer and move Knox files to other place, reboot and "voilá" = 4.3 stable and no more problems.

Hope helps... :)

But warranty bit = 1:(
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Beny The Kid:
I'm going to rant a little. It's not directed at anyone but I feel it has to be said. I've owned a half dozen phones, rooted and installed multiple ROMs on all of them and never once have I reached a stage where my phone needed warranty work or to be sent to the manufacturer for repair. I get that it's nice, just in case...... But in the grander scheme of things, we're messing with software that's just been released. And you're modifying your phone. What exactly do people think is going to happen? Is not like once the counter reaches 10, your phone explodes.

There.... I feel better now. :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Rushin_rage:
Exactly! I share the same feelings. Thanks for putting up Beny.

Please guys, try and understand. We are here for specifically something and it clearly mentions that your warranty voids as soon as you root the device.

Even though we know 50 of steps to go back to stock but we still wander in the rooting section :P!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] mateen5997:

i want revert to 4.2.2 version

thx

EDIT :

There is any way to downgrade bootloader ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Styrke:
Try to restore a full cwm backup.

For the bootloader as far as I know you can't if you installed one of the latest ones.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] geek_seeds:
i forgot to make backup :rolleyes:

i just trying wipe everything and now it boot stuck :D

if i just flashing PDA 4.22 IN PAGE 1, Bootloader still using 4.3 can i get 4.2.2 ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Styrke:
I don't think so the bootloader won't let you downgrade.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Mutley-BR:

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] stassano:
I went back from 4.3 Asia (another thread) to 4.2.2 Arrow rom... so no problems there.

I did that by doing a wipe of my phone and installing Arrow from custom recovery.

Talking of which... Wanam or another custom rom... it is awfully silent on the Android forum... Did all the big developers leave this difficult phone or what? :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Mutley-BR:
I don´t know, but is fact this 4.3 is harder to build a custom ROM... :)

Kernel source 4.3 is out, hope of stable custom ROM´s ;)

(Maybe a noob coment: )

Looking in SamMobile, I find this ROM 4.3:

Changelist: 1882417 / Product Code: EON

PDA: I9500UBUEMJ5 / CSC: I9500UUBEMJ5 / MODEM: I9500UBUEMJ5

The changelist of Russia UEMJ5 is 1875800 ... Maybe Sammy correct the wifi problem???

it says: Your device is not authoruzed to enter Samsung KNOX mode

As far as i could understood reading other forums this is coz of THIS rom/firmware is automaticly ROOTED what can i do to activate the knox mode?

i would appreciate if someone have the correct answer

To use knox, you have to be on stock firmware (no root).

Some inquiries

Hi!

I've been reading the OP, and eveything here is quite helpful. I got some question though:

1. Thankyou for providing a firmware that has 4 parts. Just in case, because as per instruction from Wanam's Thread, it is recommened that we first flash a stock firmware with the Adonis Pit before flashing his ROM. Since the one you gave is in 4 parts, can I just use the other 3, omit the BootLoader and just go ahead and flash the other parts via Odin? I want to avoid that d*amn Know Warranty Flag.

2. A bit related to my first question. If I omit the Boot Loader, can I still use your TAR.MD5 Packager?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] t0m4s_g1l:
Can someone explain me somethings please. Am very confusing with this of knox security.

If i flash 4.3 pre rooted i know that my counter doesnt increase to 1 but doeas knox gos up to 0x1?

another cuestion is, if i flash this pre rooted i dont have knox available for use?

the last question is, what is the diference between using new bootloader and 4.2 bootloader?

Thanks a lot someone can clear the doubts

Hi some news searching i found this :

irfan0303 says:

KNOX is a software treigger and can be reset.

Story of someone:

Hi all,

First of all pardon me for my poor English.

Today I went to Samsung service center to fix my note 3 SM-N9005 after I missed up with it.. no efs folder, no IMEI, bootloader flashed to MJ3 and the Konx was 0x1 actually warranty void..

The technician guy checked the Konx and told me the warranty is void but don't worry I will fix it for free.

The surprised thing is that they have fixed my mobile within 10 minutes.

After fixing it.. I checked the the Konx is back to 0x0 so they reset it !.

The bootloader back to MJ1 so they downgraded the bootloader !!.

IMEI and serial no. never changed !!.

And no hardware change at all.. so now, its very clear the Konx trigger is a software trigger and can be reset again with some how.

So A.S._id you can upload MJ1 bootloader i cant find in samm updates or sammobile to try downgrade and look if warranty bit change to 0 i dont care if knox doesnt work i dont use that
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] A.S._id:
Hi

Im hasn't bootloader MJ1 for I9500 only for N900, and I hasn't I9500...

but if you can dump your bootloader, I can to recover it for flash via Odin..
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] dg350z:
How i can dump my bootloader im on MJ9??
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] A.S._id:
then not needs...
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] dg350z:
ok but my idea is downgrade the bootloader to look if warranty bit comeback to 0 or you recommend to me wait for another solution?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] A.S._id:
Your idea would be much better if you asked servicemans, how to do it? :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] dg350z:
ough :cyclops:
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] cocchiararo:
My girlfriend's I9500 is currently running 4.2.2 (MG9).

Will it work to flash all the 4.3 files from your first post except the bootloader ? We never updated past 4.2.2

She does not need any knox features, only important thing is to be able to downgrade to 4.2.2 without anything weird that may indicate "warranty void" (at least while our carrier does not releases a 4.3 ROM, since for warranty here we need the carrier rom to be installed, and her S4 already had a botched display after only 3 months of use)
