hi

i have deliberately voided my warranty by flashing the new bootloader in order to try omega. i followed the instructions in the omega thread.

i have no problems whatsoever. no bootloops, no fcs, wifi works, root works, everything is fine.

still i'm a little irritated about what the phone shows me when booting.

i know it should be something like this. instead i get this.

i read that people getting shown "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" had bootloops and stuff. for me, again, everything is fine.

i read pretty much everything about knox but this i couldn't figure out...

thanks

Hi,

The first image is in "Download Mode"

The second image is what you get on booting with a kernel that is custom.

It is just knox telling you that it does not like it.

Nothing to worry about, and certainly nothing that will affect your phone.

Upgrading using official firmware via Odin should not trip Knox flag (afaik)

---------- Post added at 02:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 AM ----------

If you are going to upgarde with Official firmware and then install custom recovery you WILL trip KNOX flag. However, you are able to use custom roms 4.3/4.4 on the old bootloaders. It has been done by many users, also in the Omega thread. Just need to search how to!

Does chainfire still work on it? Or has he given up? Is anybody else working on it? The S4 has knox by software (4.2.2 --> 4.3/4.4.2) so it's different to those devices which have knox by hardware (eFuse) like Note3, Note10.1 2014 or S5, isn't it?

Hi. I have an I9500 running stock 4.2.2 XXUBMG1 pre-KNOX. Can I flash recoveries and custom ROMs without introducing KNOX in the download mode or tripping KNOX counters, and then revert to stock recovery and stock 4.2.2 (I have the firmware) when required? From reading past pages, as long as I flash custom recoveries and custom ROMs which do not contain KNOX or do not require KNOX, I am safe, correct? I can then flash the stock 4.2.2 ROM back anytime?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scandiun:
What you need to do is downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3, then root preserving knox to 0x0 and then update to 4.4.2 again preserving the root. If you root directly the 4.4.2 you will trigger the Knox flag.

To everything you said. You have it all correct and can do all of that.

Most custom roms are not bootloader dependant. So most won't care if you don't have the 4.3 or 4.4 bootloader that doesn't contain knox.

Ok, this is crazy. I tried reading about knox, but no use. :confused:

I'm just a novice so please help!

I'm in stock 4.4.2 GT-I9505. Now I want to install custom rom (not interested in rooting stock). I don't care about loosing warranty (already over I guess).

So, can I return back to stock from custom rom and still get OTA. And if so, what is the procedure? Is it through restoring nandroid backup or ODIN?

Again lets just say Samsung has updated I9505 to another version, be 4.4.x or 4.5.x something. If I flash 4.4.2 stock through ODIN (because I was previously in that version before going to custom rom), will I get OTA considering the following cases:

I go to some custom rom (stock based) with any version higher than 4.4.2.

I go to some custom rom (not stock based) with any version higher than 4.4.2.

I go to some custom rom (stock based) with any version lower than 4.4.2.

Or can I flash the latest firmware directly?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalao:
Yes, you can always revert back to stock. Easiest way is to get the stock firmware from sammobile with the right CSC and flash it via Odin. Just do a full wipe before and after flashing to be on the safe side. I am afraid you will run into trouble when trying to downgrade to anything lower than 4.4.2 as the locked bootloader wouldn't allow you to do so.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rboy28:
Installing a ROM triggers your Knox counter anyway because you'll need a custom recovery. The flag triggers while flashing software which is not officially from Samsung.

You can go back to Stock but the counter will still be at 0x1 and Knox can't be used. I'm not sure whether there is a new way to bypass Knox (only Root) for the newest bootloader. Some bootloaders allow bypassing and some doesn't. It depends on your installed firmware.

i9505XXABMG3

Trying to root this device while I wait for Samsung to try and give me a signed rom. Basically I have a faulty version of Knox APKs that keep the phone from getting root. This is a prototype device and I have tried every root option. I absolutely cannot do anything with Odin but flash PIT file, this got the phone out of softbrick, but it is a Knox A phone, takes zero ROMs out there. Here is the part I am curious about. When I press *#1234# SuperSU is triggered, as well as the KNOX shield notification. Then I get this info:

AP: i9505XXABMG3

CP: i9505XXABMG3

CSC: i9505OXABMG3

Does anyone know anything about these roms? Searching for this gives me nothing, but there are leaked rom forums that lead to nowhere (hotfile is a mess). If I try to flash any ROMs I get "KnoxA Roms only. I want to try and root this phone. A while back I used a jar file that made KNOX crash and the SU binary was able to sneak it, then I removed KNOX with Titanium Backup. I can't remember what this jar file was called but it also worked on i337. The only way I can root this is to push payloads through ADB. Any info that would lead to getting this phone useful would be great. I got everything but LTE working, KNOX blocks LTE as well, it provides no information or name of the app when it comes up with the warning, but I have determined it is blocking 4G activity. Any help on this strange ROM would be great. It is 4.2.2.

ROOT without Knox to 0x1

Hello,

i recently bought a new Galaxy S4. But the camera shutter sound can't be turned off and that is really annoying (even when muted).

So i need to root my device in order to disbale that.

I've read that there's such thing called the KNOX Counter and if it's set to 0x1 the warranty is void.

So is there any method to ROOT my S4 without triggering the Knox Counter??

You use CF-Auto-Root to root your phone. Correct

But if you want a clean rom I personally would use a custom rom. For that you need a recovery (CWM or TWRP or ...)

Then you got 2 options TouchWiz (TW) roms or AOSP roms. If you want to go AOSP you also need GApps for the Play Store etc.

BUT FIRST DO A BACKUP!

As a user advised me I'm asking my question here.

I have a screen issue and Samsung Service refused to fix my screen because of KNOX Warranty Void 0x1. (something which is absurd in my opinion)

What can be done now in my case?

I've heard stories about countries for example: Italy where Samsung fixed their phones despite having KNOX Warranty Void 0x1 status.

I went back to Samsung to replace the screen and middle frame because : camera had gaps between the frame and actual camera module, power button was flush to the frame, screen was inconsistent. They gave me a paper with which I can go to the store the phone was bought from and either get a replacement or money back. Probably because the phone was less than 48 hours old...

Warranty was 0x1. But I flashed stock ROM so status was "Samsung" in System - About phone. They probably didn't even check for that...

Hint for all users trying to get back to stock w/ Knox 0x1

Hi guys, I just wanted to advise you, after you get back to stock firmware, root your S4 with the new geohot's tool and reset the binary flash counter with TriangleAway (then, obviously, reflash the same stock firmware with Odin and do a factory reset). Just because it is not visible in download mode does not mean it isn't there. I believe service centers can display the value of this counter in some way, and then use it as an excuse, if it has been altered, that the Knox counter is at 1!

So, if you want an "extra sureness" before going to a service center, do this :)

I really hope I am understandable for you guys.. ;)
