Hope someone can make this Knox Killer
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Skander1998:
Unfortunately, this is now confirmed useless.

There is no way whatsoever to "Reset" this - it's a confirmed e-fuse.

Samsung opened up in the official Samsung Knox website explaining how both Root de la vega and CF Root works and what happens :/

https://www.samsungknox.com/en/blog/about-cf-auto-root

For example, some KNOX security mechanisms, such as SE for Android, will trigger an e-fuse if the system is booted with an arbitrary kernel, kernel initialization script or data, and therefore be disabled and no longer function correctly.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gazeddy:
dont samsung HAVE to say that. there is some anecdotal evidence that knox can be reset
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Looneer:
This is seriously frustrating. I am on the line whether I should buy and use a Note 3 or buy and sell it and wait for Galaxy S5. But if Samsung keep pulling this crap, I can't see myself buying their (unfortunately superior) Android phones. I love my S2's customisability but it'd have been crap without cyanogenmod.

I will donate money to the person who cracks this corporate crap of the highest order.

Ultimately, I may just get and root the N3 and if something happens, I'll just smash my phone, so they won't be able to discover Knox has been tripped.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MrGBD:
All UE resident have protection against knox flag ! Samsung couldn't refuse a device just because the Knox counter is 0X1 => There is a UE law that protect consumer against this practice. .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Looneer:
Do you mean EU because that's where Iive? I know legally they can't refuse but you may need to spend a lot of time (and money) to get your phone fixed which I don't want to do. I also would not want to support Samsung's crappy ways.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jetbruceli:
You know all. It you give it awhile the stock non root is great. I normally root but since this knox deal I have postponed it. Liking my n3 non rooted and not worrying about Knox.

Maybe when we see cm I will trip it but for now its fine and running great. Had mine since Oct 2bd
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bungadudu:
Ok, we've all heard about this EU thing (rooting is legal... doesn't invalidate warranty, blah, blah). But apparently Samsung/LG/Sony/HTC hadn't.

Let's make a big thread, a petition backed by thousands, get that known into the real world and see what happens then.

Whatcha say guys?

Samsung dont want us messing with knox. Samsung know the guys that are likely to crack it arent daft and are aware efuses are one trick ponies. Samsung will say they are efuses. There is anecdotal evidence to lend a bit of weight to it not being an efuse.

Any phone

Yes go to kingoapp.com it's free root will not trip counter can Un root will not trip however do not load custom roms stay stock rooted then go to goo manager at store load twrp I made the mistake of loading custom roms and then it tripped but not Until I did
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JF-GINO:
So, where you able to use TWRP Manager app and backup, flash simple zips etc. without tripping knox?

Can anyone confirm that TWRP Manager from the store wont trip knox unless you flash a kernel or rom?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jessejames21183:
Efuse??

Ok so we can't replace the efuse when it's tripped but some one said there were over 100 of them on the board. why can't some one just route the check to a new efuse?

That maybe easier than cracking knox. I love what you guys do. I'm confidant that someone will find a way.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gazeddy:
In the knox is a software and can be reset there is a pdf linked that explains the emmc 4.5 chipset used. There is hw protection controlled by the kernel mentioned in it
[Galaxy Note 3 General] frostmore:
i rather we concentrate on breaking the locked bootloader first.

a couple of forummers already got their knox system dump for CF to review,none of them shows any promise of where knox info is written in the emmc chip.only by cracking the bootloader will we be able to reverse engineer the knox crap and remove it.

so instead of offering the bounty for resetting knox first,why not offer it to crack the bootloader and then we can start from there.

there is a reason why samsung decided to locked the bootloader,when in the past they have never done so.

i reckon the knox info IS in the bootloader itself.by cracking the bootloader open,only then can we find our answers.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jessejames21183:
Can anyone comfirm

"I have rooted the firmware using Root De La Vega since day the early days and gotten the root access without tripping the knox.

This time I flash the UK's MJ7 firmware using Mobile Odin Pro 3.85 and successfully update the firmware from the first MJ1 to the latest MJ7 without tripping the knox as shown in the first link in the first post "

I found this on another posting sounds like a way around knox. Can anyone confirm it?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tcntad:
1. De La Vega doesnt trip knox.

2. Flashing stockrom will not trip knox (It shoudnt as its signed and all but you never know)

3. Its believed to work..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BoonDawk:
reset 0x0

Ya I posted about that already....but how do you get them to replace the mother board with counter 0x1? You don't

I don't know why no one believes it. I reset with rooting and flashing 4.2.2 Knox still there with no flags

Does anyone have a tripped phone in Surrey BC they can let me show? I don't want to use mine and get knox back.

I can reset to 0x0 but I can't get rid of knox.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] trubster:
Add $25 from me
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BoonDawk:
0x0 this worked for me

step one....suspend disbelief

step 2.....Take your screwed up i337 and enter download mode. Load up ODIN3.09 in PDA install stock 4.2.2 from sammobile.com

stepC.....Your phone boots and tells you 0x1 and if you were like me 0x30 and non sefirmware I believe It was a couple weeks ago not really important...just not good.

PlanA still a go....download CWM Manager from GP and install and run. It will tell you you are not rooted ask if you would like to....yes install CWM Recovery and it will reboot you and the blue # will be at the top. Click it it will update and bingo root.

NEXT Pay for and Download Triangle Away you give it root permission and run and it dosn't find the binary. reboot.

Furthermore if it pleases the court...unsuspend your disbelief momentarily while you run Triangle Away and it finds your binary counter. Run and watch.

Buller...Buller...Buller...It will reboot...and reboot...and reboot...I thought I was fuched....I watched it reboot a doz times.(you should too)

Refer to step one....

Take 47 hardware buttons time... soon as it goes black on a reboot Vol up, if that don't work you got it Vol down, whats next HOME then try power. If non of those get you out of the bootloop try combo's. I had some killer gunja that night and don't remember every step. But T.A. said successful or something like that.

Booted up counter reset updated to 4.3 and took my phone to koodo rooted still. But no flags on the play. Warranty

intact...the the guy at koodo said did you try resetting it? I said with every "EXPERT" at koodo and Slamdung.

He factory reset and mailed it to Samdung and it must have been ok or they would not have replaced the main board under warranty
[Galaxy Note 3 General] m_carleone82:
Im sorry but i couldnt understand much.

After u apply triangle and watching those boots..

What u got exactly??? 4.3 clean rom eith knox0 ???
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BoonDawk:
4.2.2 with knox untripped counter reset to 0x0 then upgrade to 4.3

doesn't get rid of knox but will allow you to get warranty service for hardware issues then you get back a 4.2.2 no bootloader lock
[Galaxy Note 3 General] twe90kid:
Since when did Triangle Away do away with knox?

Anyways, I did a friendly survey for Sprint users about Knox. Many don't care and tripped it

wifi

did you lose your wifi?

I tripped mine earlier today. Had no wifi and updates were not allowed. now I'm 4.2.2 unrooted wifi works I can update again. just have root and change csc back to kdo

It took hours and hours I rooted every way possible then I used odin 3.07 flashed I337MVLUAMDJ_I337MOYAAMDJ_I337MVLUAMDJ_HOME.tar stock 4.2.2 in the bootloader and went to recovery mode directly after flash and performed a advanced wipe and everything was fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BoonDawk:
DONE! How do you want the proof

For a moment there I thought I dreamt the whole thing. but I went from custom 4.2.2 to 4.2.2 to 4.3 to 4.2.2

even lost wifi and regained it
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hey_joe:
But this is a Note 3 and came with stock 4.3 how can you downgrade it to 4.2.2 when there isn't one available for it?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BoonDawk:
note 3

Make a slim mod and flash to the bootloader.

get a not 10.1 and modify it for use on the note3 or use note2 firmware.

I just got rid of the bootloader on my galaxy s 4 flashing to the bootloader and restarting inrecovery and wiping factory reset

there has to be compatible software for the not in the rest of the Samsung world.

Is the bootloader locked in all the note 3's of the world? change your region and then flash then get a non specific mod to flash

[Galaxy Note 3 General] bungadudu:
Knox counter appears only in 4.3

You cannot downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2.

TA only resets binary and status, not the knox counter.

Maybe you've resetted those and in the service they didn't care about the knox counter if all else was official.

Happened before.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BoonDawk:
it wasn't no. you know the earth is round right? I upgraded to 4.3 triped bootloader got knox warranty 0x1 and csb-config-lsb 0x30

I flashed 4.2.2 and knox was still there. I attempted root with everything and it finally worked. I somehow maybe the knox counter was still 0x1 but if no one can see it its the saMe thing in my books.

whatever keep knox. It's been so much fun already.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] eybee1970:

You do realize that you're trying to advise note 3 owners (in a note 3 thread) to do something that is not possible with our devices, right? While downgrading may have solved your problems on your s4, it is not an option that we have available to us. Your just cluttering this thread with information that is essentially useless to us.

Did you try to flash back to your original rom for your region and see if knox stays rsset or goes back to 0x1?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dukhan:
So is your KNOX status right now is 0x0 and i was 0x1 before?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BoonDawk:
yes

Finally someone who understands. Now that knox is gone triangle away that 0x30. I guess thats what happened when I use TA first lost know then the 0x30, And yes I know it was a diffferent device but its not completely freign device I thought the methods would be workable on other samsung devices and obviously it is.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SandeepEmekar:
Yes it was.

I did not try to go back to my regions firmware yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dukhan:
Mine is tripped to 1. Currently it is 0x1 and i tried another region's firmware however its still 0x1.

what was your firmware before you try the another region's? was it 4.3?

can you tell us the version of the previous firmware and the new one? i need to try the same you tried to see if my knox status will go back to 0x0.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SandeepEmekar:
Old was India Region then I switched to latest one of Brazil (I9192UBUBMK4_I9192ZTOBMK2_ZTO.zip)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dukhan:
The old one was 4.3 or 4.2.2?

Your mobile is Galaxy S4 mini Duos and this is Note 3 thread. Also, the file you are talking about is 4.2.2 and this does not contain Knox ! Please see this picture:

http://postimg.org/image/u966jc4md/

Btw, up to now your mobile does not have a firmware of 4.3 !!! What the KNOX you are talking about. KNOX only comes with 4.3 version.

I did not find 4.3 in sammobile.com...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bungadudu:
Probably refers to the binary counter which can be reset with TA.
