:good::good::good: , FANTASTIC job resetting the Exynos variant. Maybe you should get a part of the bounty or your team. IDK, but it's been proved that Knox bit can be reset w/o changing MB.

As for 99% of suggestions, get used to it .... It's no longer the XDA you knew in 2006. Not anymore. No Jtags, coding, no git, no nothing. Now it's a matter of just waiting for the miracle file with the miracle flashing ( and making suggestions, lol) :( nobody cares anymore to understand standards and security.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] st3chn0:
well this bounty has been specifically pledged by members with a note 3, not done anything for them as of yet

[Galaxy Note 3 General] htc9420:
Well, this is what is written in the OP. It doesn't mention which variant. Don't shoot the messenger.

As for myself, I would gladly donate 30% of my pledge to anyone who would describe a simpler/DIY method to reset the Exynos SGN3 . jTag+solder isn't quite the proper method to get back to valid Samsung warranty status( It is only a huge step forward in developing a simpler method).

Especially for those who have no clue what cert signed bootloader, sboot,RPMB eMMC are. Even with hundreds of tutorials, some members can't search and they brick devices by simple means as an Odin flash.

:laugh:Just imagine what would be here on XDA if the Riff/jtag box was avail for a few bucks. :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vim1:
Forget it , just imagine what would be here if KNOX , SIMLOCK Pattern Lock was avail for free :)

Even if we provide software methods to format eMMC - big chance to damage boot etc. And you still need JTAG.

Anyway it seems that BABAK will never get any bucks from you blablabla bounty.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] st3chn0:
Tbh even the i9500 knox reset... i haven't seen any actual proof of it being done? I could just give you a few files and say I reset the counter. I doubt many people have the easy jtag box to test my theory
[Galaxy Note 3 General] htc9420:
Well, I think there is a bounty in SGS4 forum. I know you invested a lot of work/money getting the Exynos variant. This is why I said 30%, because, the work is not done yet for the reason that MAJORITY of Note3 devices are Qualcomm based.

Anyway, I think a lot of posters pledged because they know is, more likely, impossible to reset knox. It was like a bet. Don't take it personally, as I said it before, XDA changed a lot since Android became number 1 OS.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] theunderling:
This thread/bounty is about resetting knox.The first post tranlates to me that someone has to do it, and every user should have the ability to do it also.

It mentions nothing about buying other equipment, so I certainly would not buy a z3box or whatever just to reset knox.

I am only honouring my pledge if I can reset knox by usb or cwm......
[Galaxy Note 3 General] st3chn0:
The files are there but have they been tested? Or actually been proven to work? I
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vim1:
What do you want ? BABAK are respected people in GSM world. Do you read whole his post ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] st3chn0:
For one you've only made 43 posts since 2006 only till recently when babak has apparently made the cure for knox i haven't really seen you post within this forum ever..

Even recently I saw some post by another 'respectable' member over on that forum claimed to be able to reset the knox counter. That has just died out

Til any hard evidence is shown you don't deserve anything at all

I haven't made a pledged since I'm looking to sell the device soon. But other people shouldn't really part with their pledge til they actually have their fix
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vim1:
If read start of this thread >

BABAK are won BOUNTY , here said nothing about way to do it ( USB /JTAG etc... ) So i think there is huge count of liars here

I am didnt talk about authors of software and time wasted on your STUPED KNOX bytes, including buyed phones etc
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Razorbacktrack5535:
Also changing motherboard is a soluction to reset knox,who's the first that said it? LOL
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JonSCSL:
This thread is located in the Note 3 forum for a reason as well. This thread isn't located in an android general help section.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vim1:
You mean if I am buy tomorrow N900 and make KNOX de KNOX operations - something would changed ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] st3chn0:
Are you even reading what I am writing?

Liers? Majority of the bounty across this forum have been paid.

He has not won the bounty. Not even any little part of it.

1 - he has shown no hard evidence. YouTube is easy. Nor have i seen any pictures on his first post.

2 - majority of people have pledged a fix for their note 3 on a note 3 sub section. Why pledge on a phone which you don't have?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JonSCSL:
Yeah I am sure. Think about it. People are putting money up in hopes that the knox will be defeated Especially the Note 3 due to knox being factory implemented and not just an ota security update. I haven't checked but there probably is other threads with bounty set up for other devices. (GS4)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vim1:
Even if I will buy it tomorrow and made youtube with all this procedures ? What sense - as somebody posted before - you will probably say - We need solution without JTAG - or over NFC or Bluetooth... I didn't see any sense to wasting more that 1000USD to prove you that KNOX on N900 are resettable ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] st3chn0:
In all my posts to you I have not mentioned jtag once. Why would you not be willing to buy to prove? You get $3000+? Then you can sell it off again? Made a solution to knox and your too stupid to think of that seriously?

And do you not understand the fact I have NOT made a pledge? I see what is fair for the rest of the xda community
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JonSCSL:
I think getting involved in a project to do with android is a bit of common sense where you find a solution that can help everyone or most of us in the public. Is in the past that how Triangle Away worked up till now.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] santij07:
You're right, I want to pay but is more expensive buy the jtag box or found somebody that have the box than a software and software is more accessible to everyone and friendly.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] newxdabie:
would it being possible just with usb or any software "forcing" and boobfriendly? you guy is a great developer, i hope you can help all noob people doing that without jtagbox, because it is too expensive for us, thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] phr3ncj:
if in exynos variant the wv bit is in the rpmb (resetting with jtag confirmed), in snapdragon variant, that uses set of qfuses (maybe confirmed because one guy have knox resetted by sammy and then the last line in dl mode became A2,B2 instead of A1,B1..) i bet that informations of locations of qfuses stay also in the rpmb, so a variant of the reset method for exynos is theorically possible, but after wiping all emmc, we have to set flash also real or fake data of qfuses. in fact, if we use the reset method on snap version, after flashing it remains to 0x1 because it checks the same qfuses as before wipe, so it would do the trick wiping and flashing new rpmb with fake qfuses data! do u agree?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] djnoicatse:
I just wanted to clear somethings up here,

1-It seems a solution has been found but it looks like that the S4 exynos variant is the only one that has been tested. I created this bounty thread here on the note 3 forum because it was the note 3 that first shipped with Knox. Yes, the S4, Note 2 etc. eventually got Knox with their respected firmware updates. But I've decided to keep the bounty thread here on the note 3 forums so we don't get confused with any solutions or findings.

2- So you've found a way to reset Knox on the S4 exynos variant and you're now asking for the payout of $3130 when your method has only been tested on an S4 exynos variant. You're not even accounting the users who have the note 3 snapdragon/exynos who have made pledges. Why would I donate my $20 when it doesn't even reset Knox on my Note 3 snapdragon device? Remember most users who have pledge $ here in this thread are using a note 3 snapdragon or exynos variant.

You might be better off posting your solution on the S4 forums and maybe you'll have users who can use your method and will probably end up donating $ for your hard work!

3- I think we can all agree that we're looking for a method that can be done at home using either an app (ex. Triangle away) or computer/software related. I don't think anyone who has pledged would like to spend any more money than they already have just to reset their counters and If they did have to spend money, I'm sure they wouldn't want to spend big $ as well.

This bounty thread will continue to stay here in the note 3 forums, and this will be about trying to reset Knox on the Note 3 snapdragon/exynos devices.

Play nice everyone and let's keep it clean!!!

BTW, pledges will be updated when I get the chance, I've been super busy at work!!

[Galaxy Note 3 General] nitrate:
I suggest no pay out until Note 3 truly has been KNOX reset to 0x0 WITHOUT opening the phone. There MUST be an USB solution. No wonder why some service centers need only 3 up to 10 minutes in resetting KNOX.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] latouffe:
You all argue about the Note 3 Knox vs 9500 knox. And all the fuss about the jtag box. But TBH the most important is a proof!.

Why dont Babak post a youtube vid, Or maybe more users can confirm his story?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] swnt:
Exactly, if he could make $3000 he would do all he can to earn it. That means showing proof and buying a note 3 if that would get him the money.

If it does work, someone will make it into a useful solution and claim the money.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] st3chn0:
Anything coming from that site regarding knox just seems to be lies. I believe one of the respected xda members will soon come up with a solution
[Galaxy Note 3 General] deeppalei:
Well Done. I am with you.

:D:D:D I am agree with him.

and everyone wanted a reliable and sure method to reset the counter and bring back its warranty .

Hello brothers.

My device Note 2 and my knox warranty bid was 1 (I install philztouch and knox warranty bid was 1)

I using currently ditto note 3 rom and bootloader is still in stock mk9 bootloader. I can return to the old bootloader? I think you will not get the OTA update now.

Sorry, here note 3 forum but I can not find the answer elsewhere.

Sorry for my bad English.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vim1:
I suggest that you must wrote this in HEADER. Becuse RULES must be defined before game , not in the middle. Its very nice that I am has't bought N900 ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] st3chn0:
I suggest you just leave.... door is that way ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vim1:
No problem :) Wish you find solution soon :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bungadudu:
Not cool man!

They've worked hard and brought new insights!

Sorry!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] st3chn0:
Have they really? I haven't seen any of their work been proven at all

Edit: just went over to the i9500 forum there's not a single thread I see regarding knox being reset
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Spere:
Is this going offtopic?

It's nice that there is people who have knowledge and tools to try find a solution to reset Knox!

But.. Isn't this Note 3 forum? There is also suggested buying new phone, selling phone or replacing motherboard. In my opinion non of these are what we want and are finding and donating here for.

Also, isn't it clear to someone that this bounty is crated for solution that comes user friendly way. Without need of technical knowledge or expensive / special tools. Just need for phone, usb cable and computer, at max. And to Note 3 - or is it??
[Galaxy Note 3 General] newxdabie:
today i have a dream with reset knox while i was sleep lol it was like i went to a store ask about resetting the knox counter and i ve seem there was a warning that samsung will ask 20 euros for resetting because it wasnt inside of warrenty, then i was talking with a store service man, and surpresely he tole me that ressetting knox it very easy, what i need just in 1 step flashing back to official version rom, then connect phone with usb and download an application (i dont really remember the name, but this program is in computer and seems like can modifid the code, with 16bit code and flash a file) then with this program agian puting the code 700000000 then restart the phone you will have knox counter 0 agian.....ohhhh my god!!! you guys can see how stress i am with knox, even i dream with findding reset for it.... shame on me ?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] mielletseed:
I don't own a Note 3 but an other device that became knox recently so I'm reading this thread too.

For me it was (almost) clear the bounty was for resetting knox on your note 3 devices but I think it was not clear, that using tools like JTAG was not a proper way to win the bounty since to me to JTAG a (bricked) device is a normal way to repair it ...

But you are right, in any case the fix has to been proven.

I think you should sharpen the rules of the bounty, for example resetting knox (on which devices?) without opening the device ...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vim1:
Finally KNOX can be reset in

Samsung SM-N900 Galaxy Note 3

Samsung SM-N9000Q Galaxy Note 3

Because it stored inside RPMB area and can be WIPED or written with AUTH KEY.

And cannot be reset in

Samsung SM-N9005 Galaxy Note 3 Olympic

Samsung SM-N905 Galaxy Note 3

and all phones with Snapdragon MCU. Anybody who tell that it possible in

service lies becuse KNOX are stored in QFUSE area. FOR EVER.

Thats all folks ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dpeddi:
It sound strange to me that samsung trash a phone that have vw void. Every oem use to refurbish hardware. So samsung trash it? I'm still quite sure that qualcomm and samsung know how to revert qfuses.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] aydc:
That should be proven and should be doable by any of us at home with no additional investments in extra hardware. Once we can use our normal USB cable to flash a file with Odin to turn 0x1 to 0x0, the task is done. Until that, the goal hasn't been reached yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] theunderling:
What is "super imei" that is mentioned in the solution.Is it part of z3box stuff?.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] newxdabie:
dont mad with some fools, you guy is a great developer, and you should not quite like that, i know.i am noone but i apolize for the guy who said to you for leaving, you have doing.a great job,and showed lot of good signals about knox, you dont deserve it what he said. i am implorer you to continues with you.job, you is master in this area. you can help.all noobs.like me
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vim1:
I am see more angry are guys with non deKNOXABLE i9505 ;) - NO WAY for Snapdragon ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] serdar_gs:
Even if it is not possible to reset the knox counter, should be able to get rid of the knox bootloader (at least this way we can downgrade). I think the first should solve it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vim1:
Samsung made very smart thing - there is one more bit than warranty - it seems that after triggering it old bootloader signatures verification failed. Thats only theory. But after triggering that bit phone with old bootloader refuse to load they and show Qualcomm HS-USB Qdloader 9008 interface. So downgrade work only with KNOX enabled firmwares.

So you can downgrade between KNOX firmwares but cannot use old boot anymore.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] serdar_gs:
damn samsung
[Galaxy Note 3 General] htc9420:
So...according to your posts, you've got a hand on the key samsung uses to sign the bootloader. Using this key, we could rehash an old BL as the next one and, voila, we're back to rootable bootloaders.

My first guess was directly that you got Sammy's little secret key.... ;)....and that's gonna bring you a lot of cash, don't worry. Just be smart about it.:good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ryanbg:
I don't think his posts have anything to do with that. The RPMB Auth Key is used to verify that the entity sending write commands are authenticated and authorized, and to areas of protected memory. His second post is in reference to the device not being able to boot because the signatures are different.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] htc9420:
See JEDEC standards... the secret key is embedded in HW...hence the AuthKey is a master key....used to issue specific write command...everything that touches RPMB ( like flagging KNOX at the presence of an old BL) can be signed using a master key.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vim1:
Secret KEY are being calculated in Trusted Memory first time if BL detect empty RPMB all next times firmware calculate DYNAMIC ACCESS key that vary on access counter , some random salt etc, and Master key reside all this time inside eMMC. Also i think master key are depend of SN or another unique data.

KEY for verification signatures of BL are yet another thing! I think sammy have some reserved keys for triggering on NEW firmwares and abandom for ever older ones. Thats work like SSL certificates revocation procedure. New firmware tick QFUSE and PBL start verify bootloaders with new KEY.

In addition have to say - thats possibility to makw more worst thing - becuse there are many "spare" qfuses left for OEM , so depend of samsung coders fantasy.

I have attached tampered and virgin fuses from I9505 with A4.3
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jester12345:
what do you mean only note 2 so far???
[Galaxy Note 3 General] newxdabie:
it means if we can downgrade bootloader, will we have knox reset? i dont think so, only not ap pear on sreen, i almost have sure if after downgrade the bootloader then update to new bootloader, knox bit will appear agian

Hi

This is video of Reset "Warranty BIT " to 0 for who one need prove

in video i did reset 1 to 0 .Then i did write Philze_Recovery to back from 0 to 1...And Again i did Reset 1 to 0

So,Just for prove i did reset for 2 times

http://www.mediafire.com/download/ndpwb43stdarltt/I9500_Reset_1_to_0.rar

Common Guys...

for long time we have no idea about which part or address hold warranty bit data (0/1)

Plus we have no idea how can reset it....Reset Ways and Data

But Now,We know where is the data and which part and address need modify for back to 0

i give you Key for opening door on all Exynos,.....N900 is Exynos....:D???? so if i can reset warranty BIT for I9500,,,,N900 is exactly same

******

I don't have more time for create some tools for reset 1 to 0 with USB but if any one can access to ROM2 (boot Partition 1 ) via USB ,just try Delete 128kb from last data address...(See my perivus post + compare photo )

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dukhan:
And this is a thread of resetting KNOX warranty void.

The one you shoot and the warranty bit can be reset without all these tools. Just only by using triangleaway apps.

It wasn't 'almost' clear, it was transparent, like crystal. :) Which device? It's in the Note 3 section of the forum, I think that should be enough on its own to clue everyone in.

JTAG hasn't been the norm for at least the last 5 years. You have to try pretty damn hard to brick these things, and even when you manage to actually do that good and proper, there's almost always some minimal embedded logic that allows you to reflash via USB.

Whatever they or he was able to reset. let them or him reset whatever he needs but no one can reset the Knox warranty void.

"Warranty BIT " is different than KWV.

KWV up to now is unrestable....
