Is there a leaked bl for n7100? Finally some good news
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pRo_lama:
No.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] note2nooby:
After reset you can install any stock firmware , or you install the firmware the phone was with already ? I'm not quite familiar with the note 3 Fwares sorry.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mielletseed:
Why?

If the knox bit is stored in a eFuse (write once memory bit) an they have for example 10 of this eFuses on the chip so it could be, that the new BL reads now the second eFuse instead of the first. This one is still untripped. And when this is tripped once, they could have a BL which reads the third eFuse and so on ...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] djmax81:
knox can be rest finally only on n900

yeah guy .... the people who say snapdragon is better bad news ... to you all here n900 won

[Galaxy Note 3 General] vagaerg:
It's just a matter of time. At the beginning people said it was impossible, I suppose that having a reset method for the exynos version is more than enough as a proof that it could be reset in other variants. Let's wait for the devs and see what they can achieve :)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] v00d007:
Of course it can't be a hardware thing. So when you get all the knox crap on your (maybe 2 years old) phone with an update package it's all SOFTWARE. Maybe it's possible on brand new devices, who knows...

Agree?!?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] thelostlegend:
I think N9005 had knox counter from the beginning so it could be a hardware thing, but on N900 we had warranty bit and not knox counter, till kitkat update, with kitkat we got knox counter so it has to be a software thing imo

Anyone aware about this :)?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pRo_lama:
Yeah, we know about that pretty long. It's just for Exynos Note 3 version.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] GocaS6:
Ah ok sorry then. Is it working for Exynos? And is it really possible that can't be ported for Snapdragon o.O?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pRo_lama:
I'm not expert but I don't think that BL can be ported on another CPU. Difference is that Exynos use to sboot.img file and Qualcomm aboot.img file. I'm not sure if we will ever have solution for this CPU.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ruchirtrehan:
It's obvious bootloader wont be able to get ported but however I have read reports that Samsung Officials can reset Knox on Snapdragon version the same way they do and Exynos. The Exynos Knox reset files have just been leaked (from Samsung Officials) somehow and is no devs real work to be able to reset it, but it can be challenging to see if we can manage to find how those files reset the Exynos version's Knox and might help us to have a look around for Snapdragon varaint and work the same way with our efforts to reset Knox on SD the same way it does on Exynos, and if somehow not possible we better wait for the Snapdragon Knox reset files to be leaked just the way it leaked for Exynos lol. :p

[Galaxy Note 3 General] nitrate:
Yeah, I'm aware of this one. But it's only for the Exynos devices. No Snapdragon solution yet, which is a shame...

Gesendet von meinem SM-N9005 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lilstevie:
Given how these things work it is highly unlikely that we will be able to replicate it. As chainfire said a few pages back, the bootloader is cryptographically signed. In most cases the part that we need to access to replicate the process cannot be accessed once android has been booted, and we cannot replace the bootloader with one we wrote ourselves to do the task because of the signature check.

Pretty much our best hope beyond some monumental samsung stuff up is for the snapdragon knox reset files to leak.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BYJU27:
yes,all we can do is hope and wait.(sm-n9005) knox tripped while doing official update through kies 3
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pRo_lama:
I think that only leak of files or something from Samsung could reset KNOX on Qualcomm devices. Because neither devs of service boxes can't break Qualcomm. They had a solution for Exynos long time before this leak. So I'm rather skeptical at this because there is more problems with new Samsung devices than reset KNOX. For example, nowdays it's impossible to write original IMEI to Note 3 or Galaxy S5.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] iede:
Can you elaborate more? So if we lost our IMEI we can't restore from our EFS backup? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Rainico:
Any solutions for reset counters knox 0x0 in N9005 ? :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pRo_lama:
It's good to have EFS backup, but I'm not sure if it will work. Because non of all service boxes (maybe only JTAG, but I don't know) can repair IMEI. Only solution is write superIMEI. But we have only few superIMEI's.

SuperIMEI:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bot42:
Than maybe we should ask the leak for more info. (Something tells me that the info was already leaked and qualcomms lawyers shut it down) Has anyone tried to reverse engineer kies 3 to see what it's doing differently from odin?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Masaker514:
I had something happen to my note 3 and was unable to restore my efs. My IMEI was null and baseband was unknown. I tried everything possible to fix it, nothing worked. I called up a guy who lived an hour and half away. He took my phone upstairs came down in 10 minutes and the phone was fixed. KNOX is the worst thing ever made.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] iede:
Really bad news to heard that. So we can't simply restore our EFS backup with standard method? Could you shed some lights how to restore null IMEI? :D

Now i'm hoping I don't lose my IMEI :p
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pRo_lama:
Do you have the same IMEI than before? Or your IMEI is different? Because I think that you have superIMEI.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Masaker514:
It's different then what I have on the box. I also don't have 4g any more I go from LTE to H+ I also lose service in certain areas.

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

I tried with QPST and was able to restore and back up no problem on 4.3 Once updated to 4.4.2 everything was blocked. I also made an EFS back up with EFS professional and was unable to restore it through that. I have the Canadian variant though. I wish I could help you but he didn't let me see how he fixed it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pRo_lama:
Yeah, as I said. This is just superIMEI. Not real solution for now. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BYJU27:
Till now ther is no solution for qualcomm varient...may be we can hope the leak in future...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ak47sssr:
Hey guys, what about Note 2 ? It also has Exynos processor. Are there any solutions ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pRo_lama:
No. Only Note 3 (N900)!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Masaker514:
Also you can't update your modem to 4.4.2 because you will get cert IMEI fail. You need to keep the modem on 4.3 What a mess.

Hello,

I'm French and I'm not a super dévellopeur but ...

if we take the contents of the "BL_HA3GZS_CLEAR_WARRANTY_BIT.tar" file, we can see that it contains two files.

Files "param.bin" and "sboot.bin"

Reading the forum I was able to understand that the file concerned "sboot.bin" is for exynos and that was "aboot.bin" file qualcomm concerns.

Also, do you think that using the same method as that is to remove knox new firmware it is possible to replace a file with this "aboot.bin" "param.bin" and thus achieve the same result?

I do not know if my translation google will give an understandable result :)

Clearly, a new tar file that contains "param.bin" and "aboot.bin".

I'm ready to try the trick but I would like to hear real dévellopeur ...

Thank you for reading this google translation ^ ^
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pRo_lama:
We already know this. But we need leak of BL for Qualcomm, not replacement file for file. Because there are specific signatures which can't be break.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] resudo:
Hey guys just wondering, is there any recognised developer like [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] etc that is actually working on a fix against KNOX? They files that were leaked for the exynos note 3 can't help developers to "port" the solution to other devices? Also is there any hope for my N7100 note 2 to get KNOX reseted? Lastly, I know it may sound stupid but how can I know if I have snapdragon or the exynos Note 2? Thanks in advance!!

Thanks, luckily I have the exynos version so I have now more hope to defeat KNOX :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ludwikjonkisz:
KNOX 2.0 is releaesd for Galaxy S5, next other device (N900, N9005, S4, NOTE 2 and other). Maybe update to KNOX 2.0 reset counter flag? What about Think?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] oddbehreif:
Unlikely. Would that make sense security-wise?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ludwikjonkisz:
When Samsung give KNOX to device, is first flag, Maybe when v2 give clear flag because is new security system.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BYJU27:
lets hope so,if it is going to be like that then it will be a great relief for knox tripped handsets,but we have to keep in mind tat if k2 clears knox 0x1 to 0x0,it means the warrenty voided is restored to warrenty having..samsung wont let tat do i think..any way we can hope for best :cowboy:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] oddbehreif:
The warranty check, if updated, will probably use the same old fuseset (which may or may not be tripped) because it can't exactly install new hardware (fuses). It'll likely just update and introduce new methods of detecting modifications, blown fuses will still be blown.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xclub_101:
I think it might be worth mentioning somewhere in the first post that there might be a free fix for Knox (which also seems to permit a firmware downgrade) for the N900 (Exynos) model (but unfortunately at this point only for that) - it is a special "service firmware" leaked originally here:

http://sxtpdevelopers.com/samsung-note-3-knox-fix-qualcomm/

(it looks like a firmware reset/update for the EMMC, which results in the erase of the RPMB where Knox flag and downgrade restrictions are stored).

In a separate development thread details on some of the people testing it can be found in those posts:

If the original site was taken down by Samsung you need to search after a file called BL_HA3GZS_CLEAR_WARRANTY_BIT.tar - the one I saw was 2334801 bytes in length (might be shown as a 2.23MB download in some chinese sites). There might be a problem finding it since Samsung might go after anybody hosting and distributing it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gencho81:
Since yesterday the site is down.And the file is missing from dl-host ,but can be found in chinese sites.I am Note 2 user and i'm waiting for solution for my phone.And don't worry people- reset file will be always available when you search or ask for it :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ceelos09:
I've heard recent speculations that those with a tripped KNOX counter won't be able to update to the new KNOX 2.0. If that holds true, it won't mean much to Exynos handsets as the KNOX reset file has leaked. Qualcomm based handsets, however, will be affected as no reset has been found yet and probably won't be (any time soon?)

That is, however, assuming those speculations are correct about not being able to update with a tripped counter.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] My1xT:
who cares? it cant be used anyway...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BYJU27:
are you sure that ther will not be any leak for qualcomm version??

nobody here gives a crap abt samdung's knox or ifnit can be used.

galaxy note 3 N9005 Knox reset to 0x0

Today I went in samsung to ask to reset Knox counter and I can confirm for now there is NOWAY to reset by any software. In effect they must change the flash card phisically inside and they ask 80 euro to do that........:crying:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] effry:
just want to report what happened to me and my note 3 with knox 0x1... suddenly GPS wasn't working so i made a restore through odin and then brought it to tecnical support here in milan (italy)... they changed the whole motherboard (it means that cpu,ram,all kind of sensors) in just 3 days and never said anything about knox trigger... happy ending
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lilstevie:
That isn't necessarily the case. Just because they won't do it isn't confirmation that they can't. They may have charged you the EUR80 and not changed anything physically and software reset it for all you know.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nicholaschum:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] nicholaschum:
Don't worry, I was meaning to quote the missing downloaded files.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gencho81:
Some my thoughts about KNOX reset-- Until now we have $3173 for somebody who found a solution for Knox.And we have one BL "leak" to reset KNOX for Exynos Note 3. The way i see it -this leak comes from GSPN . So why we don't use them to pay somebody with account or to buy account and download all files witch

can be SOLUTION for Note 3 Qualcom and other phones with KNOX Bootloader.

There is more than enough ways to stay ANONYMOUS in the net so they can't track the person who download them.Only they can block the account ,but it will be late if we have the files.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] WormsCH:
$3173 not updated since February. Now we might be around 4k, maybe more, maybe less. Anyway, it's fine for me to pay someone for leak these files (I agree to pay something like $50-60)

Should we start a new bounty ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gencho81:
new bounty is pointless when we have this one.but as i can see this is the only way till now.So lets use them.Yes-this will be illegal BUT was legal to put on our phones soft that kind of "damage" them.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] WormsCH:
It's not fair to "burn an efuse" if the user root his OWN phone

It's not fair to ask $ to reset knox

It's not fair to avoid warranty if knox = 1

It's not faire to not allow downgrade after pushing a bad update

So i don't really care about the "legal things..."

Ps. I've asked to samsung swiss what append if i root my phone, they immediately said i'll lose my warranty so...

I may past the question and answer here, but i've to translate it (i spoke to them in french)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] frostmore:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Chainfire:
From what I've heard, a lot of SSC engineers may not be aware or have access to this reset package. It may well be something only device engineers (at HQ) have access to - and SSC engineers are not necessarily enthusiasts such as ourselves who keep up with stuff they don't have access to.

Why can't we use that package on our Snapdragon phones? Isn't the partition that hold that information the same? if not,you are the king of breaking samsung's security cant you mod the package some how and claim the 4k$ waiting for you? ^_^

You can't "mod" the package that came for Exynos devices because the package is signed. You would have to resign it if even someone would manage to patch a few bytes.

In three months the SM-N9005 replacement aka Note 4 is expected to be released. My personal opinion is that if it's not cracked in the first twelve months it may become less likely as developers move on to newer models.
