knox was the last straw

It's probably not necessary to replace the whole motherboard. Find a repair shop that knows where to source a pre 4.4 emmc and have them swap it out for you. If your loss of 3g is due to null imei they can write it back to the new emmc too. This option should be much cheaper than motherboard replacement for anyone looking to fix knox / null imei / firmware downgrade (in the case of Note2 7100 7105 users) problem.

If there are better alternatives on the market I'll most likely NOT buy another Samsung phone again. The amount of grief I got from Knox and time wasted trying to fix soft bricks and run rooted software is just not worth it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kremata:
Also my last Samsung Phone. I pass from total ecstasy with my Note 2 to total disappointment with my Note 3. I don't understand what they are loosing by letting us root our phone. Knox could have easily been an OPTIONAL version of the phone for business people.

Almost all my friends are now on Samsung coz I'm a XDA member and I could always help them with rooting or installing custom ROM. But Samsung had to go and make a this mess.

I'm looking forward for the Ubuntu Edge phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] thewelt1:
I totally agree, this is atop end device but already its fell behind in looks due to the over haul in the s5 touchwhizz ie weather widget, new colour in menus, for me this was the main reason for flashing different roms besides performance as the device gets older, so unless this knox counter pain doesn't dissappear in future devices-firmware I too will be talking with my wallet..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] XLAAX:
Yeah, I'm really hoping they can at least bypass knox to not trip it in the first place for future roots, as I've yet to trip it yet, but I'm really eager to root my Note 3. First thing I'm doing is getting rid of a lot of bloatware. Was pretty disappointed to see even with 3GB RAM, 1.5-2GB of it is used up straight away.

Note 3 is my first "super duper" smart phone anyway, ha ha. My first smartphone was the HTC Desire, but by the time I got that, it already felt really outdated, I made it seem more in the current age by flashing a custom ICS rom onto it, but eventually the tech was too limiting in it.

Then I got the Note 3, really very impressed with it. Its the first phone I've had which has felt truly independent, with past phones, I've always had a reason to plug it into a computer, but with the Note 3, I find I really don't, so I believe it will last me a long time indeed, even if/when I get a new phone I can see me keeping the Note 3 just for its s-pen features, (If I don't end up getting a new note in the future anyway ;) ).

So I'm really hoping that eventually we can make this already great phone even greater when Knox can be bypassed or reset.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] breaper:
Thanks for the advice I'll look into it here but I think I might have to wait till I get back to the Uk. After all this I'm thinking of going back to a phone phone and buying a tablet to go with it. At least then it won't be such a loss if the phone bricks or gets smashed.

Can we reset the knox counter on note 2
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Chalao:
Unfortunately, as of today, resetting Knox to 0x0 just seems to be possible for the SM-N900 (Note 3 Exynos).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] wrena:
Some say it's because they don't even want to provide the one year warranty, otherwise they would have made this feature optional for business users. Not only that, locking up the bootloader to prevent downgrading makes it easy for them to lock you down with a bug ridden battery draining ROM until you get fed up and buy their current phones which happens to have less bugs until the next phone is launched. I suggest not updating the firmware when you've got all the apps happily working together.

It's true the risk is there but then with a phablet you don't need to carry two devices ;), just need to be careful not to press the wrong buttons when rooting or flashing roms.

With software no, unless someone post a leak similar to the one Chalao referred to. Might be possible with Jtag if you can access the RPMB area, as the warranty bit is stored there. Or you could just get a repair shop to swap out the emmc.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rajaa_sekaran:
I have SM-N900... I plan to unroot my device and resetting knox to 0x0..

[Galaxy Note 3 General] mielletseed:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] note2nooby:
For exynos devices is possible.

Simple answer: Yes.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mun_tez:
R u sure ? As far as i have read its specifically stated that its only for exynos note 3 only n not to try it on any other model by ruchrucha who have done the testing on note 3 n been able to reset knox n also able to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] hillg001:
What they don't bother to crack now, will simply be an issue to crack on the next rev (whether it's called a note4 - note100 or whatever). Once KNOX is released on a 64 bit kernel - that's when things will get difficult. That may only be one or two rev's away.

So it doesn't matter if he/she joins today and his/her first post is about success.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] acharnp:
Well its a very great idea. On other hand the damage caused would be too high for Samsung as the devices are also likely used for critical industrial/management needs. Which means if this happens then Samsung may go to the routes of the cause and sue the Engineer. (A huge risk for the Engineer himself)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] spad:
the whole purpose of KNOX is to DENY unauthorised access to the info, especially if the counter is 0x1. otherwise knox would be pointless.

if you manage to salvage those photos - go and show it to samsung, they will hire you as lead security developer right away.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] catolh:
I've just had my phone at a authorized samsung repair centre, because my audio jack suddenly decided to think my earplugs was always in. I also had knox-warranty bit at 0x1, so i figured i'd try to get that repaired under warranty as well.

No luck, i just got an estimate for repairing the warranty-bit at ca 540$, this is because they needed to change the motherboard (or so i was told).

So i settled for the audio jack repair, since it got covered by my warranty.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] chkenwing:
I've given up on hoping for a fix for this.

In the way Samsung is going, my Note 3 will be my last device from them.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BunnyPig:
Why?

I mean, sure it's a pain in the ass what they are doing but it's not really that big of a deal if you ask me.

What they do with KNOX is that if you ROOT your phone, you can easily break it if you have no idea what you're doing or what you're installing. This is just a way for Samsung to make sure that you don't break your phone thanks to software because of ignorance.

If you trip KNOX and your phone breaks because of factory fault then you pretty much have to suit yourself since if you buy a phone you should always stay unrooted until you are sure your phone is not broken from factory. If you trip KNOX and you install something and you break your phone you pretty much have to pay it yourself since you did something wrong. Why should Samsung have to pay for your mistake?

Either way if KNOX exists or not you should be aware that if you root your phone YOU are the one who pays for whatever happens to the phone. I don't mean to sound insulting or anything, I'm just telling you what moral is.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mielletseed:
That's off topic but I not completely agree with you. When I cook up my processor by overclocking then it's my fault - yes. But when I'm just using a custom rom and after half a year a hardware fault occurs (weak soldering; mic defect; volume rockers worn out, etc.), why shouldn't this be covered by warranty?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] newxdabie:
so if i bought a pc with windows, i will never use linux? if i do, i will lost the warrenty? or if i do, i wont be able to use all of good staffs in windows? and this is not legal, samsung forcing me to use and update their fimeware! i was forced to installing knox, i am not agree with it, but can i deny? of course no! then, who is right?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] BunnyPig:
I think this is just how we're "manipulated" to think about everything. In Sweden they are waaay too nice with the warranty. Basically what I can do is to just throw it on the ground right infront of the store where I bought it and I can just say "It's not working" and I'll get a new one. What we do instead is to really think through if we deserve to get a new device or to just pay for it ourselves. This is the point I'm talking about, morals.

What you meant earlier with "I was forced to install KNOX" isn't quite true, since when you buy a phone you get all the info you need about it if you ask. Samsung has been playing with KNOX for some time now and by now you should be aware of what you're buying. So you're not forced to install it, you're forced to buy a phone with KNOX pre-installed because of a system, and this is not illegal. I have no problem with KNOX since people have been fine using the warranty even though KNOX has been tripped due to hardware issues. Some have even recieved their devices with KNOX 0x0 on return.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] newxdabie:
not same in my country, i will need to pay about it and i cant just saying it not work, it ridicolious the same item being treat diffrent way, but ok. and what i am say not about moral, because if we begin this topic, sammy has no moral. as you saying if we need more information we need.to ask, we need to find in their website, they fo many and many update.with just stable update descrition and not event talk about with area...i bought before existing of knox, and update was.without my permition! just updated!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] FlanjeUK:
Nobody FORCED you to update your phone...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BunnyPig:
Just like [MENTION=5210322]FlanjeUK[/MENTION] said - You were not forced to update. You could've sticked to the firmware/update you bought the phone in, but you chose to switch. Why wouldn't you want to update anyway btw? Sure, when a new major update comes like KitKat there are bound to be a lot of things left to do but you should also know that. Especially when it sounds like you know this happens to all their devices and not just the Note 3.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
Are we seriously having this conversation?

You'll know when there's a update there's no need to ask over and over again.

Also don't flash a bootloader for another device. It will cause you problem later if you're phone bricks (even soft brick) or if you want to re install your phone from scratch. You're lucky if you can re push the bootloader in Odin without any issues coming afterwards.

If you got a very identical device (like N8010 and N8000) it would be better devices are equal except wifi and 3G version. However you might not be able to change bootloader unless an upgrade comes.

Also to mention this is for Note 3 And the released bootloader resetter shouldn't be installed on any other device! This is extremely dangerous for you're phone and you should read about it before proceeding with anything here.

Don't be a fool and just see there's one reset image and flash because it might cost your phone and then you might (if you have warranty) be repaired. But that's not for sure.

Please don't spam the bord. And if anyone needs the bootloader due to link taken down I'll be happy to share it to you but don't ask if you don't own the device because it's foolish to try on a different device.

Enjoy what you have here even if you're not having the device.

I'm happy that they have a way to reset the counter. (Not because it matters for me anymore) but you guys should be happy :)

Take care of your precious phone ^^

To be fair, if someone did find a way to do this, all they have to do is post proof of it and then withhold the exploit until enough donations are in. It'd be a pretty dickish thing to do though, none of the developers here are in it for the money so ultimately, this bounty is a bit pointless.

This has already been done. As stated repeatedly, it doesn't help much because it assumes that Samsung looks at the bootloader to check the warranty status. The second they flash a stock firmware back, all modifications to the bootloader are gone anyway. It MIGHT work for one or two people but as soon as Samsung is aware of it, they'll check for it.
