That is great news. However, I fear it may not be the same for N9005. Back then, if I remember correctly, N7100 and N7105 had the same chipset/cpu. If I may question your method, the 0 and 1 state alternates because the fuse hasn't been properly set yet.

If you take another N9005, where it has been fully tripped, and you where to do the same test as you are now, it should always remain at 1. But that's only how my theory goes.

Realy good new for N7100 owners.But will be great to have soft solution for it.:good:

I have tested all this but failed.

Not works to me.

And yes i had friends can restore IMEI their use OCTOPUS BOX to restore IMEI and FIRMWARE, but how my NOTE 3 is on the Warranty Period i back to Service Shop to repair.

If their dont want to do a repair may i take to my friend solve this big problem.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudo77:
Oh not good, how did it fail? You cannot install firmware? or IMEI didn't return?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] alexxandrepeixoto:
Nothing changes.

Same errors yet.

Slowest, Camera Bug not opens, Reset Loop, Angry Bird Crash, Real Racing Lag and Low and some Crashs, IMEI Uncknow, etcetera.

Now just waiting for Samsung Service Shop Return Feedback or Repaired. i have to wait 7 to 15 days yet.

Well before their back may i trade for an Galaxy S5.

My insatisfaction with Note 3 was cause since i buyed Real Racing 3 compared to my Nvidia Shield i notice some lags and instability on FPS to this game, when on my Nvidia Shield is Stable in 30fps or more.

I understand NOTE 3 is 1920x1080p with openGL3.0 agains 1280x720p with openGL2.0 but i take considerated the 3Gb and 2.266Ghz against 1.9Ghz to 2Gb on Shield.

But Note 3 is a spectacular device. I see some people saying the RealRacing 3 is faster on Note 3 but i try on Samsung Shop same game and notice same drop of FPS it's may a particular incompatibility with Game and SNAPDRAGON 800 or this game is not rendered to run fine on this device but i dont know why.

:good:VERY THANKED FOR YOU SUPPORT 'SUDO':good:

Sorry my bad english.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudo77:
You're most welcome. :D Sorry it didn't work out. NV data must have been truly corrupted as well. If issues persists it is likely hardware. Good you sent it for repairs already. Let's focus on Knox now.

Can you please post how to reset it or upload a video ? :rolleyes:

I will keep this in mind when assisting people in the future, to backup multiple partitions and memory blocks. It seems this applies to Snapdragon chipsets.

People, when it comes to resetting Knox on Exynos, replacing the emmc is the easiest way as of now. Software reset is extremely difficult because of the encrypted keys to write access on the emmc. Only leaked firmware can reset Knox, and the only one I know of is Note3 (SM900). All other Exynos models are EXCLUDED. (if you know of more, share) [OR you can wait for a dev to come up with an unlocking method]

You can watch hardware solution here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOYo9AcUQQI

For devices prior to S4, that has official firmware <4.3 you can downgrade the binary to that once the chip is replaced. Your bootloader will be unlocked.

For devices that only have >4.3 bootloader, you can extract and remove knox components from the firmware BEFORE first installation. Your bootloader will be unofficial but Knox free.

If you think emmc replacement just because of KNOX is worthy, then go ahead. But, you already risk a lot of physical damage by taking the phone apart. My point is, again, it is not easy.

Snapdragon, well, that's another story...

Oh, I should mention...This has been discussed before. This is a long thread, yes? Take time to read through it thoroughly, not just the last two pages. Try to post new information, and avoid needless redundancy.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] alexxandrepeixoto:
Good morning!

Just to end the last tread.

My Galaxy Note 3 be Repaired on Repair Shop.

Samsung Just Change the Motherboard and all in 6 days Great Samsung Support.

Their dont talk nothing about KNOX 0x1 Warranty Void status.

Now my Note 3 is an "PDA:NB4 / PHONE:NB1 / CSC:NB5 (ZTO)" Now i dont more changes with Root or other changes to ROM.

Until i see Android L Stable to Note 3 maybe.

But Real Racing 3 is note stable FPS everybody i ask says this game plays fast but cause their dont look to FPS like an Hardcore player.

Any idea why this game dont play Fast? And this new Asphalt Overdrive too is an litle slow with Graphics in Highest Quality.

Then sorry for this incovenient asks now i may will open a new Post about speed quality on some game to Note 3.

Thanks Lot.

2368$ Bounty time :)

Hi,

I counted about 2368$ dolars so far and commit another 40$ so help me samsung.

my situation is this:

SM-N9005

android 4.3

kernel 3.4.0

phone hangs after call. screen does not come back. calls stays connected till other party hangs up.

no button on the pnone gets screen up. battery out and in is needed sadly.

sensor test screen allways full green and vibrating. numbers of proximity sensor does change when hand moves.

read it was a hardware error so i need to turn it in with a knox + 1 :(

Was hoping a software update could fix problem but that gets me further away from a knox crack doesn't it?

still rooted, no updates done. waiting for the bounty hunters :)

regards, NonkelWilhelm.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] KkdGab:
Hi, I know the note 3 can be reset by using a Knox resetting bootloader, and this may be the start for other devs. So, bounty hunters, u might be able to make a fix by creating a Knox resetting bootloader, it it is an efuse, make a bootloader that can't detect i. I would do this myself, but my life is so busy, hopefully I can settle down soon

Hi! my phone works but I trigger knox and now my warranty is void and I try To flash the file with no success at all. I saw a video with the file XDA NOTE 3 BL_HA3GZS_CLEAR_WARRANTY_BIT-xda.tar ??﻿ The one I use was File Type: tar	BL_HA3GZS_CLEAR_WARRANTY_BIT-4(1).tar and did not work. the BL_HA3GZS_CLEAR_WARRANTY_BIT-xda.tar is no where to be found,any ideas?

Is your phone a SM-N900_ or SM900? The difference is one is Snapdragon processor the other is Exynos processor. And only the Exynos variant can be reset with those files.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] bot42:
It seems as though the Knox flag might be written to micro uv eproms (http://www.armory.com/~rstevew/Public/Pgmrs/EPROM/AndrewMcCubbin/howto.txt) well the bad news is they can't be erased using software alone. The good news is they can be erased and reset using a UV lamp in theory.

Have you tried yet?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] bot42:
Hell no, you realize that doing so, can also over-erase your eproms and is not like they can unplug these are surface mounted. I only have one phone at the moment. I honestly would not suggest that anyone else do it ether until Samsung releases safe exposure times. Unless you have plenty of backup phones.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bot42:
If someone does get the inclination here's where they are (pics) If you look closely you can see the eprom windows. Only UV erase eproms have windows.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Beefheart:
For people with warranty issues I know from personal experience that Knox 0x1 doesn't stop a repair being carried out if you're lucky enough for it to be sent to the right repair center. My S4 i9505 was constantly claiming the sim had been removed when it hadn't, so despite the Knox flag being at 0x1 I sent it off for a repair. It came back 3 days later with a new system board and the Knox flag at 0x0 as a result of that.

The moral of the story is, if you don't try, you don't get. Send it off. The worst case scenario is having to do without a faulty phone for a week and it being sent back not repaired.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] albuster:
Maybe off topic, there are a lot of paged so I don't know if you tried or not, but here goes, did you tried triangle away? I remembered I had if on my note 3 but can't remember if does also reset knox.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JonSCSL:
Triangle Away doesn't and says it will not and can not reset knox. Knox is different than the flash counter. Knox is a warranty and a security flag that on most devices can not be reset other than Exynos Chipsets.

Guys.... just wanted to ask, by any chance if in the days to come, anyone comes up with a method, will software OTA's work? Just curious.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] JonSCSL:
If we don't have a method how are we gonna know.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] thetitanium:
Yup.... that's common sense but is 0X0 directly related to OTA?

Sent from my amazing Exynos Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JonSCSL:
No not at all.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bot42:
OK guys, Knox Ox1 does not affect ota or kies update. OTA is stopped by being rooted, and keis will work even if you are rooted, but you won't be rooted after the update. Nether work in you have a custom rom or kernel unless that rom release it's own ota update, yes most cm roms do have ota updates.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudo77:
Hmm... OTA is halted by root or changes to the kernel (via custom roms,etc) whichever take precedence first. Goodness, I don't have my device rooted 24/7, that is quite unsafe. However, I am always on an unsupported rom viewed as "custom" and I can't get OTA updates. Kies will always work because it will erase all custom changes, and bring in official software to the device. (Hence you loose root). Come to think of it, the same security mechanisms that initially trips your knox flag, checks for these changes and disables your OTA update ability accordingly. But is OTA and Knox directly related? I think not. You can always get OTA if your system status is "Official" regardless of Knox status.

Edit: Oh, those of you worried about repair warranty, think of it this way. In terms of functionality, Knox isn't designed to void it, that is under the discretion of the repair service. It is designed to void your security warranty however, mark the device as "insecure", and halt Knox apps security features, like OTA, sadly more "permanent".

That is correct, and it should work imo, IF the bootloader wasn't locked. A reminder you CAN'T just write/modify any boot loader and flash it (else it would be solved already). The previous BL will just spit it out. Unless, say, you know how to crack SHA256, obtain keys, and then write a bootloader that can reset the Knox bit in the RPMB. Not to mention, the bootloader that you create/modify must be signed by Samsung's certificate authority in order for it to pass. Again, that is only my theory.

If been thinking the past days, and came up with a few questions. Why isn't there a method to force erase the the emmc? (Perhaps its because of the write protection method?) If it cannot be erased, why can't the emmc partitions be resized? We could resize it over the RPMB and the Knox bit. But if the RPMB and the user data partitions are built separate, then perhaps it cannot be resized. Anyways, worth a thought.

I just read interesting posts above about UV-EPROMS, but I still think it can be erased by software (unless you refer to a fuse) . It was done on SM-N900, by a mere bootloader file. But... if it turns out it was there, what are you planning to do? Give your device a nice sun tan? LOL :cool:

How bout this [emoji23]
[Galaxy Note 3 General] VegasTom:
I seem to have unset a tripped KNOX counter on my GS4.

Here's what happened. Probably in the process of rooting I managed to trip the KNOX counter. The last time I went from CM11 back to stock NAE, I used:

L720VPUFNAE_L720SPTFNAE_L720VPUFNAE_HOME.tar.md5

with Odin v3.07 running Windows XP on my Mac.

To my surprise, no KNOX flag warning when ODIN finished.

All the I've read said this is impossible.

I'm mystified.

Any explanation of how this happened?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] WhateverMan2:
Maybe S4 doesn't have a physical eFuse, it's only implemented in Note 3. S4 only has KNOX warranty void value stored in the boot loader, while Note 3 KNOX is triggered by eFuse. My assumption
[Galaxy Note 3 General] VegasTom:
This could be an important clue in the hunt for an anti-KNOX solution. If someone on another phone would try something similar, we might find that the flag is software clearable and not and eFuse thing.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudo77:
Sigh* What do you mean seem? Did you un-trip it or not? There is no seem. Firstly, to my knowledge, PC Odin doesn't alert you on Knox status. It only tells you the progress as you are flashing your firmware, and whether it failed or passed. The reliable way to tell is in Download Mode. So, is your Knox Warranty Void currently 0 or 1? Did you check before/after you rooted?

Secondly, I will have to understand your rooting process. If you safe-root (aka towel-root for example) the Knox flag will remain unchanged (0) because you are only exploiting the kernel to get root access. But if you are using say... CF-auto-root, where you are directly modifying/flashing recovery to get root access, then it will trip (1).

From your official ROM, I can see that it is North American Sprint S4 (it is a Qualcomm chipset and to my theory has an efuse). It looks like a normal rom to me, so it shouldn't have the ability to revert. This is not surprising. Now, if you told me you unsafely rooted, saw it trip, used this rom, and it untripped; post here again. I will be surprised. Picture evidence also would be helpful this time round. :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] WhateverMan2:
But even if Vegas_Tom rooted with a safe root method, his warranty would have been voided if he flashed a custom rom, in this case, CM11.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudo77:
Ah, well there you go. All that remains is for him to check his Knox status properly. (I missed the fact that CM stands for cyanogen mod, I am not a custom firmware enthusiast.) Edit: Oh, and if his custom rom uses an official kernel etc, then that shouldn't trip Knox either.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] VegasTom:
Sorry, I did not check properly.

I was not seeing a warning when I rebooted, like I was getting before the fresh install of NAE. I mistook that for having reset the KNOX flag.

Yes I used CF-auto-root, that tripped the KNOX flag.

I apologize for my mistake.

I can't help but wonder if part of the reason Samsung sales have flattened is the uproar over KNOX.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudo77:
It's alright, don't worry about it. We all make mistakes. I just feel the need to clear up some misunderstandings before assumptions are made and keep discussions relevant. Regarding the Knox flag itself, I am regrettably running out of ideas for a solution. It is so difficult to reset mainly because of security. That's all, but it makes all the difference. Chainfire knew it all along he stated "It's not impossible - just improbable". I rest my case.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] minde11:
This task is for electronics engineer

I think this task is for electronics engineer. My guess that there is a chip (connected to CPU via SPI buss probably) witch handles e-FUSE or KNOX functionality as it is specific to a Samsung phones only. So replacing e-FUSE chip the KNOX value should be 0 ( 0x0F).

If you read doc "eFuse Design and Reliability" by William R. Tonti it shows that there is actual fuse on a chip with is browned during KNOX warranty void. This means that is is impossible to reset it back without tinkering with HW.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ultramag69:
That is what an e-fuse is, yes...

Small silicon bridge that doesn't have current run over it in normal operation (or such a small current as to be almost non existent) but when it does (or current increases) it burns out the silicon permanently tripping the fuse. Problem is these fuses can be inside the processor and can't be fixed without replacing the processor. It's easier to just replace the phone...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dito33:
So how Samsung is reflashing returned and faulty phones in exchange for certify reconditioned ones that we get with knox reset to zero.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Daved+:
We already know the answer because of the leaked Exynos reset bl. Maybe they have a set of efuses on the snapdragon models and they cannot reset it more than N times but it doesn't matter, we would be happy just to be able to reset it once ;)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Lt1streconbn:
Which efs time was that in exactly please? I've been looking for that lol... it's peculiar it has no value? Did you freeze or deodex and remove Knox from the device? I managed to deodex and remove it from my sgh-i337 safely finally... I don't care about the stupid Knox counter honestly. That's why I buy an aftermarket warranty for two years and they don't mind fixing or replacing a rooted device. I am buying international versionsthough in the future
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ryanbg:
This is an excellent question. So many devices 'permanently' 0x1, seems wasteful of hardware, doesn't it? If we take a look at AVR boards like Arduino and other similar MCU, we know that it is possible to 'reset' fuses by reversing the polarity/current running through a fuse (this is only applicable to certain types of fuses.) There are also a few research/white papers that cover this. It's possible they have a device to do this, or simply the PMIC/regulator can do it. This is my guess. It's also possible that the Knox fuse is a software emulated fuse inside TrustZone. I know TZ has the ability to emulate SW fuses, and this would be stored in secure memory. Because of the proprietary nature of this kind of stuff, it's hard to know the specifics about QFPROM without seeing the white-papers and docs from Qualcomm, which we'll probably never see. This really is a job for an electrical/computer engineer with significant experience in ARM/TrustZone/embedded devices. It's also possible there's a hidden faux fuse bank inside their eMMC chips. Certainly quite a few possibilities. I'm more curious from an educational position than I am actually resetting this bit.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Lt1streconbn:
Before I go back 3 days and figure this out....

I havn't been working on the knox warranty... okay I didn't 'think" I was. I rooted mine and put in SuperSU without tripping Knox, but it tripped when I removed Samsung bloatwares I didn't want. I don't use a second /system partition with safestrap even. I use it for backup for now is all. It was 0x1 3 days ago and I've been trying to get the kernel lock off actually and get setuidgid to work. I've had to fix localhost though, which I finally got that 2 days ago and that helped me get more options. I could write a book on what I've done in the last week honestly. I keep track though just in case. If that's what you're really needing though... I'll trip it back... go back thru and figure out which thing or combination made it roll back to 0x0 because I simply have not been paying attention to that until I stumbled on this thread yesterday and realized it apparently something ppl want and need. If it is... I don't mind at all :) I'll go back and go thru it step by step. This is my hobby so I don't forget everything I learned and hacking smartphones is fun. Very challenging at times. I do, do this in spare time though like most ppl here,. Just reply and let me know if the video shows what you need. Also, you guys do know how to root with SuperSU without tripping Knox on 4.4.2 don't you? It's not hard. I removed all the main knox apps without tripping it pretty easily. I started on NI1 but when I killed screen rotation flashed NB1 and MF3 modem and unlocked with ReigonLock... works on that modem. If it's not what ya need I'll keep on doing what I'm wanting to do lol.

Can you list step by step tutorial? ???
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudo77:
This is one of the most interesting posts in quite a while. First I want to understand your process a bit more clearly, so I have some crucial questions to ask.

1.) When exactly did you say your flag tripped? Was it

WHILE

,

BEFORE

, or

AFTER

you were using safe-strap to manually remove your Knox app security components?

--- Note: I ask this because Safe-strapping may have caused the Knox flag to be mirrored into a different area of ROM, a place where it can be re-written, and is not the true status of the original flag. This makes me uneasy.

2.) At any point in time, have you ever tripped the flag prior to using towel root, or safe-stapping (did you install custom roms/kernels before hand)?

--- Note: Leveraging saferoot to avoid tripping Knox and modifying the system is one thing. But for those users who tripped Knox without using safety tools, I want to make sure the effects are reversible for them, and remain reversed even if the safety tools are uninstalled. (This goes with your question about

how

you tripped your flag as well.)

3.) Did your Knox flag un-trip on the safe-strapped system?

I just want to make absolutely sure that this is not primarily about safe-rooting as seen before, but an actual process you can use to untrip Knox across a range of devices. If you feel I have a misunderstanding, by all means, correct and guide me.
