So your saying it is easy to go back to 0x0?

I have 2 note 3's,same model.

One is 0x0 pure stock and one is 0x1 custom rom and rooted.

How do you find/change this key?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Legiones:
Like i said...the key is writed when the imei is writed on the clean mainboard(factory clean motherboard with productions softwares)

The exact location....i cant say it(i know it but i cant said it ...legal mathers)

I only give you clues to find yourself

Sorry

This is how the key looks like

My knox got reset when I flashed KK firmware to a rooted tripped JB.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MystaMagoo:
My knox was tripped on JB.

I used odin to flash official KK.

My phone then OTA'd to LP.

I didn't actually check if knox went back to 0x0 but you cannot OTA if you have tripped knox 0x1 ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mielletseed:
Please check it in download mode. In my opinion you CAN do an OTA update when you're official even with tripped knox flag
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MystaMagoo:
Time has long gone for my phone to do that now.

Have since rooted and tripped again.

Doesn't tripped always make it 'custom' ?

All I can say is back then on tripped JB I could not OTA from within the phones update software option.

I then flashed KK and was able to update from within the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mielletseed:
You are just guessing, that's not helpfull. You think you couldn't OTA with knox tripped so you guess your knox was reset ...

I disagree with your conclusions ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MystaMagoo:
Sorry my bad.

Didn't think you could OTA with a tripped knox.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Rickforet:
My Note 3 has a tripped Knox since my first root about one year ago. And I can confirm each time I've switch back to stock (KK), I always could upgrade system OTA, though Knox is still tripped.

A good way to know for sure if Knox is stripped or not, install My Knox from Samsung app store and try to launch it. If it's tripped, it will give you a message saying something like "My Knox can't be execute in you device".
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jimbomodder:
JB never had knox, knox was introduced from KK onwards which explains why it was set 0x0.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MystaMagoo:
Ahhh was it just 0x1 for custom rom then?

I know I couldn't OTA.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jimbomodder:
JB had yellow triangle upon startup, KK had knox as we the user was no longer able to reset,l. The reason you couldn't OTA was due to a modified system aka:- root, once removed and flashed stock again you could OTA, knox is littrally there for 2 reason, 1), apple style security for the average user so they can keep their stuff safe or render a phone useless, 2), to help Samsung in proving you rooted and thrus void any kind of warranty. Samsung official service centres can reset knox so it is possible but we as yet still don't know how. It would take an ex employee to let us know exactly how it's done.

Flash this bootloader , if you are on 4.4.2 (just because i flashed it when i was on kitkat).

My knox counter is 0x0 and i can use knox again.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Rickforet:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] yashthemw:
It might not work , cause basically it is a bootloader which is used for downgrading from 4.4.2 to 4.3.

But then it also is just an unlocked bootloader.

You can definitely flash this on kitkat and then flash or ota update your phone with lollipop. This won't trip the knox.

Someone previously mentioned it's a 'key/string' that needs changing.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] venus342a:

Dont know, Maybe.

But definitely it's not a string!

The counter stores hashed values. And it is a efuse which when broken or damaged, doesn't let the bootloader function.

Guys if you are worrying about n900 , then knox counter can be reset to 0 by flashing this bootloader via odin (select BL button from odin) .

http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/577263f87c2e9/Unlocked Bootloader 4.3 n900-1.zip

The only thing that is required is 4.4.2 kitkat .

After flashing this file you have to flash official 4.4.2 kitkat .

Thats it.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] yashthemw:
If you want to reset the knox , then I was able to reset my note 3's knox counter to 0×0 by flashing 4.3 unlocked bootloader .

Basically this bootloader is used for going back to 4.3 from 4.4.2 . I flashed the 4.3 bootloader and then flashed kitkat 4.4.2.

I was successfully able to reset knox .

So if you have a s4 , then try searching for a method to go back to 4.3 .

If you are able to go to 4.3 or atleast flash a 4.3 bootloader and then flash kitkat , you will eventually reset knox.

I was just giving a reference, an idea for how s4 knox can be reset to 0×0.

Cause just like note 3, even s4 has base android as 4.3 .

The only difference is that , the solution is only for exynos model of note 3.

Basically try downgrading s4 to 4.3 , it might just reset the knox.

And a few posts before , a user wanted to hard brick his s4 if he is not able to reset knox .

If the method that i suggested dint work then it might just brick.

Sent from my SM-N910G
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
Swapping back to 4.3 won't help resetting Knox

Why? Because you won't be able to downgrade the bootloader

2. Even if it would downgrade (example) I doubt it would help you reset Knox since it might leave traces on a downgrade

It sounds like knox is similar to Sony drm protection except it isn't stored the same partition

Your post is against XDA rules and deliberate fraud .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] yashthemw:
I think i shouldn't answer your question as per jjegan , but just accept these facts:

What is your purpose ?

Do you want to hardbrick your phone just because you want to use knox ? Then it is quite clear that there is no knox reset method for s4 that I know of.

Do you want a replacement from samsung ?

Then its not possible , unless you are in india , cause in India they dont check the knox.

Although you successfully hardbrick your device , there is no guarantee that you will get a replacement .

And remember that,when you decide to root your device , you should accept this basic thing that you will loose official support.

This is not the correct way.

Please understand.

As i said before , if you are able to find an unlocked bootloader of 4.3 then you can reset knox , this has been tested on note 3 n900.

Samsung is the only one who can remove the KNOX Counter so you will need to lie about rooting your phone and say that the KNOX Counter is tripped after buying it.

---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 AM ----------

Well too bad you can't reset the KNOX Counter but Samsung can and also if you have your phone rooted before it got hard brick then riperoni you, since Samsung can check on that. Also if you have your root removed but want to get the KNOX Counter remove and you hard brick your phone then its about time to go to their Service Store on your area and lie about you rooting your phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
Samsung won't see if you was rooted if you hard bricked or they don't care [emoji14] since they improved security it's almost impossible to hard brick. So if it's hard bricked they will fix it. I had rooted, custom recovery, Knox tripped. It died. Got it on warranty.

It's obvious they only check if it start or not. And check what happen if device is plugged in the computer

Is note 3 n900 the only device whose knox can be resetted ?

Note 3 n900's knox can be resetted with two methods .

One that [MENTION=6345840]saferan[/MENTION]d suggested and the other that i posted a few pages back .

Atleast n900 is having something unique that n9005 lacks in.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] istperson:
No the n900 is lacking sonmething n9005 has, the e-fuse. In the n900 it's written somewhere on the nand, and it can be overwritten, and the Qualcomm chip has an e-fuse, that you once blow you can't fix it.

Samsung can't reset your knox, they can change the motherboard.

people said new samsung device can't get hardbrick? isn't just need to be root and overwriting some first bytes of /dev/block/mmcblk0 is enough? it will mess up the partition table and potentially bootloader if you write enough and it will hardbrick?

i know about the debrick img but it's still brickable, just make it temporary dead and return to service centre and act like you don't know anything about this, told those people like it say having a new update and then i installed it, after that it won't come up, etc, etc...

on samsung devices, the most essential partition are all have some kind of checksum/digital sign so theoretically if the OTA update package somehow get corrupted, the corrupt boot.img/system.img/recovery.img... installed then when it boot, the bootloader will checksum those and found out that the part has been mismatched of checksum and it will trigger a knox void

also... you can't doing something like faking the 0x%s by hexedit as some people said, when flash with Odin then aboot will get checksum before write to NAND, if it detect mismatch checksum or wrong model then it will refuse flash. dd method are not possible either, the bootloader will checksum itself when boot, if it detect mismatch then it will refuse to boot, been there, done that.

also... i'm sure that boot.img/system.img/recovery.img are bond with some kind of digital sign but not just checksum because when my phone have 5.0 bootloader but flash 4.4, after flash successful then i immediately go to odin mode again, it said the phone are Samsung Official but when i go to stock recovery, there is a yellow text on top left corner said "set warranty bit", when i reboot to odin again then it said the device are Custom.

So... it have 2 layer of verification, one when flashing and one when boot, also the first verification looks like a checksum method but the second one are digital sign and it check with the sign key in bootloader(?) that mean even you flash older stock firmware, you can still get a knox void.
