If everything work as i expect you wil be able to flash any official firmware you want...even 4.3(first rom for n9005) without any problem with odin

I will get back to you all with downloads and instruction as soon as i can and with the software will be tested on the phone that i still have

By the way i didnt see that is a bounty i just saw knox reset and i ve just clicked on the link

Have a nice day
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tin2404:
You are right, theme is knox not bootloader. Since here are very much people with downgrade problem, you should start your own bootloader downgrade thread.

I hate kitkat and I want my original firmware, because it was most stabile for my needs.

I was so frustrated when I saw that N900 is downgradable, and N9005 not !

My reward is purely good will to reward your work even if this is non profit forum.

I can't hardly wait to test it !

Have a nice day also.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mielletseed:
But he states by downgrading to a pre-knox bootloader the flag would be "erased". So one could downgrade first, then upgrade again and would have knox 0x0.

Foe me this is a way to "reset" knox. I know, that would not work for newer devices that came already with knox...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] God Ares:
Downgrading android to 4.3 is verry verry dificult because can brick the flash or imei of the phone:(

From note 3 every device came with knox

Even android 4.3 from n9005 is knox enebled

But if you flash the right software your knox will be set from 0x1 to 0x0.after that you can update official(if you want knox 0x0) to whatever you want

When i will upload the link(probably next week) you will get all the info that you need for every device i manage to downgrade

Have a nice day

[Galaxy Note 3 General] lenuldechezandroid:
Thanks for the tutorial :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tin2404:
I will try ..I have nothing to lose anyway...Somebody must be first for knowledge sake,right. ;)

God Ares, I have sent you needed info you need, and let we try to recover that N9005 baby, shall we. ;)

I have spare old Note 3 and I am advanced user so there should not be problems.

Shall we "rock 'n' roll" my friend ?

:cool:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] God Ares:
Thanks for your confidence

As soon as i receive your info i will send you the link for download.

Towmorrow i will get home and begin

Be safe and cheers
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tin2404:
My pleasure.

Sleep well.

:cool:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Stevethegreat:
Hey man keeps us posted. The guy says that he managed to reset counter to *all* Samsung devices. That's significant and that's a first.

I have a couple of Samsung devices lying around with 0x1 flag, but as other users wrote nobody gives away SN and IMEI willingly.

So -yeah- thanks for taking the fall :p and keep us posted :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tin2404:
I am deeply interested also.

If you now don't give SN and IMEI willingly, then why would you give them later if it was success ?

Keep you with info. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
I don't believe the tool would be disallowed here. So u can probably release it. Depends on though if its payware. I should consider mod decide about it. You should ask them.

Also u wouldn't mind if he stole this IMEI tbh I got a spare motherboard anyway :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Stevethegreat:
Because if it works, at least I get something back. If not I only lose , at least that's how I think about it.

Anyway I think most of us are truly thankful that you're taking the fall for all of us :p. Here's hoping that it will work that you'd get a Knox free phone :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tin2404:
I don't care about Knox rather than jellybean 4.3 back.

Removing Knox will be, from my point of view, just side effect.

Anyway, I will post here results as soon as I get God Ares files.

If Knox will be removed, then he indeed deserves bounty awards stated here.

Keep you informed as soon as I get files.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
but Knox is so beautiful ...... LoL

But if this work I'll be amazed and truly thankful for the guy and others :)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] davidwilson83:
I have had to clean out a LOT of off topic posts in this thread. Please remember to keep all posts on topic, as well as being respectful to other users and remember to always follow the xda Rules

EDIT: There are a number of posts where users are asking for IMEI numbers and other users are happily posting them. Please DO NOT either ask or give out IMEI numbers! The Knox counter has nothing to do with the EFS partition, which is where the IMEI is stored. Any posts asking for or giving out IMEI numbers will be removed and the user will be dealt with accordingly.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tin2404:
Of course I didn't , as expected.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Stevethegreat:
I agree with this, the thread was getting clattered with irrelevant chatter.

Having said that -I think- respect should go both ways. If a user -seemingly- tries to take advantage of other users in acts that border to illegality -I think- it's to be expected that there will be retaliation (against that user). If anything the retaliation should not come from users' part anyhow (insulting comments) but from the moderators' part. It's possibly illegal to try to fish personal information (SN, IMEI) from forum members. Am I wrong?

Anyway, enough with the off-topic. I hope that a true way that reverses the Knox counter will be found.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] msasm09:
Dear mod and forum member

i didn't mean any disrespect to any one but it smells fishy from the beginning (ask for PM IMEI and SN to inject it to whatever) i just want to warn others even by daring member to send that information which is given in buplic i wish it's fake not real.

guys security is all about secrecy that's was my point which i fail to deliver it.

thank you
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Lt1streconbn:
I've told a couple in threads (I didn't keep track of which threads) lately about posting IMEI here or in PM, and let them know what can result in worst case scenarios. We use it to track down illegal activities and in investigation in my former career. I doubt its pleasent having people knock on your door or come to your place of business asking you very serious questions about things you never done, or places you were that you never went to. It really can happen quite easily.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Lt1streconbn:
Not here. No time to work on it much d/t a deadline for a very large and priority project next month. Crunch time, so lots of debugging. Hopefully, I'll have more time after that's completed.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
No watch one bage back and see that the guy is banned, probably because of phishing attempts?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Lt1streconbn:
It certainly appears possible...

It was inconsistent with the users other post, but we don't know what the user has pm'd to others possibly trying to obtain information either. That's total supposition on my part, but still a valid point and worth mentioning with all the neive and inexperienced users new to development and rooting devices on XDA, that really are ignorant to repercussions that can come from that information finding its way into a malicious persons hands. However... If a new user will spend three minutes scanning quickly over the rules on XDA, they will know not to give out that information. That convo does make for a great example of someone phishng. The people I've spotted on here always inadvertently posted their IMEI and SN in screen shots or whatnot. The last was in an S3 thread I contribute in still r/t swapping internal & external sd. I made better scripts for the people that still use the devices. I created one for TW roms that can be hooked and do the swap prior to screen on and also got the swap to work with CM consistently. That is a fun project that I can enjoy helping people with, and I still get a reply here and there from a user needing asst. I just remember that one needed help editing the photos he had uploaded and got confused/frustrated and wanted to PM me their password to their account, so I could edit it for them! I refused lol, but that shows you just how trusting some people are. I did finally walk them through editing photos, even though I felt that was a very short walk ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tin2404:
I gave false IMEI and false SN because I didn'n belive in start.If he was been successful then I could give right one.

S4 gt i9500

Is there any way to reset knox to 0x0 from 0x1 on S4 GT-I9500 guys? Please tell me. Im in a big problem..

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] istperson:
Microwave it. It fixes the warranty problems. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Lt1streconbn:
Yes, you do have a problem then....

Other than the occasional glitch that can, and does happen, that resets the counter on rare occasions at the time it is tripped... No one seems to have figured it out as of this moment. I have been busy with career the past couple of months, so I've made no new progress. If it's a real crisis situation... you could brick the device to the point of getting the 'firmware upgrade encountered a problem... Use kies recovery mode'. Then call and tell Samsung you had an interruption with upgrading the device. You can send it in, and they'll fix it for around $75 I believe. The internal storage chip is physically replaced, and the flag is replaced along with it. It isn't very honest to do this IMO, but I don't know what your situation is. I'm assuming career related, so I felt compelled to suggest something that might help. I don't root my work device to avoid these issues.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
this is funny ..................... but i ved put 9v on battery pins of the note 3 n9005 motherboard and after that i ved send it to samsung ........ after 3 weeks i received a call from samsung service care and they let me know that they haved decided to change my phone with galaxy note 5 (this is not a joke ... i have the proof) because was considered to be defective motherbord and the way the phone react was a danger to client health

This is not a joke .. i have the paper from samsung and i dont care if someone will belive it or not

[Galaxy Note 3 General] cainchild:
The e-Fuse might be a possibility, except that refurbed phones I know for a fact can be reset. Secondly, we might want to look harder into way to fake KNOX into thinking that customs roms are actually stock roms. Right now I can't seem to find much in the way of what exactly is telling the knox on 5.0+ devices when to trip... I'd personally like to look there first, as it makes more sense to prevent an oil spill than it does to clean it up.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jimbomodder:
Before i rooted i took a look deep in the system for knox and copied all of its contents to a zip if anyone wants to take a look. Its from A500FU running 5.0.2
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheOtherTiagoTiago:
With a clean-up method, it would be easier to test ways to not trip it. But of course, we would first have to get there.

I'm not sure which should get priority.

A clean-up method would help everyone that already tripped it and everyone that will; meanwhile a prevention method would only help people that would trip it in the future (and might still leave out the people that will trip it due to a bug or power outage during flash etc). But if it is physically impossible to untrip it without specialized hardware or replacing pricey components; then it would be a waste to focus efforts on it.

To be able to figure out whether it would make more sense to try to help everyone or just a few, we need to first know if the "help everyone" alternative is possible. Without knowing that, it's a gamble no matter which route you go.

i still have some problems with the bootloader .... but with the help of chainfire or other senior user porhaps we will get it right

i need a N9005 bootloader deknoxed

---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

i wii try it right now
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
I ved upload some photos on my Google + with what can software can do

I manage to downgrade to 4.3 from 5.0

Any help will be apriciated with a custom bootloader

i need a knox 0x0 bootloader .... any help?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
by the way .....

for phone that came with 4.2.2 like express 2;s4 i9505;etc .... its verry easy to reset the knox counter becouse i have the software to downgrade back to stock (4.2.2) and after that you just flash back original 4.2.2 from sammobile with 4.2.2 bootloader(no knox in that bootloader).

i dont have that phones any more but ived tested and it works

i will upload a video today with N9005 downgrade back to 4.3
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bigbabo:
What about other versions of n3 like sprint n900p
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
I do not own a n900p

I only have n9005.920f.3815.910f(for testing)

Sorry ... i only have international versions

But if some developer can take a look at that firmwares maybe it will find a way to help you

Have a nice day
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
If i have the permision i will post a link from my google+ to se of the difference .

Until now downgrading note 3 from 5.0 to 4.3 was not possible ... but in the video you will se that its not impossible

If n9005 roms works for your model .... i will upload the files when i get home... am at work

For ex: n9005 roms works great on N900s(koreean version)and few other models ... i dont know for sure....give it a google search before flash
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
Today at work i found out from a coleg that some apps that i have created is been shared over the internet by good intention people and some other people from Spain.Usa and Canada as made videos on youtube asking 90$ to sell my work.I dont know if i shouldn't be shareing anything over the internet becouse some people are makeing money over my work and my balance is still 0.

I dont ask for money but seems like some people take advantage of my work and ripped people off

i was creating some security apps for some big company but also help the people hwo are in trouble from internet and personal.....but where is the respect in that??????

i try to help ... but some people share and ask for money and credit over my work and other people like me

To get back in forum post ..... i found after some research that the knox it is not in the bootloader and it is located in the modem.bin file

In my way to downgrade the N9005 the phone was not booting unless i flash android 4.4.2 or 5.0 modem.bin file in CP box

The error was " speed bin 0x1" ....you can se in my video above that every time i flash anything i have to flash modem.bin to boot the phone

I try to flash official 4.3 modem.bin in CP but the phone was dead with the error above

I have try with samsung express 2 sm_g3815 from a friend ....that came with 4.2.2 and even if the phone was manage to downgrade from 4.4.2 bootloader with knox to 4.2.2 bootloader witouth knox ... the phone wont boot up unless i flashed in CP modem.bin file from 4.4.2 and again back with knox 0x1

so i think the people was searching to wrong places for removing the knox....instead of looking in the bootloader you should look to modem.bin file

i have replaced the modem.bin file from 4.2.2 with 4.4.2 and and the phone was booting but have some bugs

i can not do this by mysellf becouse i have no time ... any help will be appreciated

i will only upload (for now)SM-G3815 firmwares to downgrade from android and bootloader 4.4.2 to android and bootloader 4.2.2

BE VERRY CAREFOUL ..... DO NOT FLASH THE FILE FROM THE LINK TO OTHER MODEL EXCEPT FOR SM-G3815 EXPRESS 2

sorry that i was write with caps lock but some people dont understand and i dont want to be responsible for bricked phones

-flash the file in AP with odin only if you have SM-G3815

-se what happens in the download mode atfer flasing the file ....

-you will have 4.2.2 bootloader without knox but you wont be able to flash a 4.2.2 firmware (in here i need some help)

-to boot the phone back up to originall state flash a SM-G3815 firmware from sammobile or other site

if the link is dead or not working ..... let me know and i will fix it
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
I have upload the file for GT-I9505

If you have any problems flash back a stock firmware for GT-I9505

THE LINK BELOW IS ONLY FOR GT-I9505

Flash it on your own risc

The firmware is only for people hwo knows a little bit about flashing roms and the risc involved in flashing a firmware

I dont own a i9505 anymore so this is all that you get

Hit thanks and if you want .... donate to support and keep working on other models
[Galaxy Note 3 General] msasm09:
thank you for great effort and time

regarding you brilliant point that knox exists on modem partition could we just relocate it to another location by editing pit file notice that modem has another copy which explain why knox get back to 0x1 state even after preknix bootloader flash due to failure of flashing corresponding modem.bin

thank you again
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
Was verry strange that i was not be able to flash modem and keep failing(on 3815 i have 4.2.2 with 4.2.2 bootloader and android and i cant flash 4.2.2 modem and on N9005 i have 4.3 bootloader and android and i cant flash 4.3 modem)

I was able to flash any part of the firmaware(ap.csc.etc) except the modem

And not just any modem ....4.4.2(in 3815). Or 5.0(in N9005 case) modem even if i have on the phone (3815)android 4.2.2 and android 4.3 on N9005

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

And was even stranger that after i try to flash any modem (except 4.4.2 and 5.0) i got "bin speed error 0x1.the only file that i have flashed with .bin at tha time was the modem.bin
[Galaxy Note 3 General] msasm09:
can i suggest to dump modem to extsdcard and compare modem bin file with dump file by hex editor i think the dump file will contain extra inforegarding knox and check bit to allow of dissalow writing to modem partition so knox must be software control write access to porotion of the emmc not hardware e-fuse as many forum member suggest
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bigbabo:
Yall are onto something here good look for pointing out the knox location i feel luke people are getting closer to finding and reseting it good job all !
[Galaxy Note 3 General] msasm09:
after you manage to downgrade to 4.2.2 with 4.4 or 5 modem every thing work fine oe what?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
If knox was a hardware fuse ...i couldn't be able to flash android 4.2.2 with 4.2.2bootloader(no knox) but that was possible.so knox is not a hardware fuse

In plus the 3815 came with android 4.2.2 with old bootloader that has no knox and after kies update the phone got knox and the new bootloader.we all thoth that knox is in the bootloader becouse that is what we se but in my opinion the knox is in the modem file(the modem supports the imei.sn.wifi.etc)if you flash on 4.2.2 a modem file from 5.0 you will se imei and sn unknown.no wifi.no bluetooth.etc but if you flash 4.4.2 modem on a 4.4.2 android you will se that everything in oreder

Strange ...

And by the way i9505 came without knox and old bootloader but if you downgrade(you have the file above) you will se that you can flash the android 4.2.2 but you cant flash the modem from 4.2.2 even if the android version is the same

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

No.becouse even if i have android 4.2.2 i have no imei.sn.wifi.etc.4.2.2 modem keep fail and 4.4. And 5.0 bang knox back again even if i have 4.2.2 after i flash 4.4 modem(witouth flashing the bootloader file)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] msasm09:
so you're brilliant you expose where knox really is and prove it's not a hardware e-fuse.

another evidence that exynos note 3 has a downgrade plus knox reset leaked bootloader which i think allow thoes bites to be written

and it exist on emmc

another thing can help you pursuing knox a dumb file from exynos model nothe 3 before and after knox reset and compare them with hex editor i think this could lead the way

so can i ask you to upload note 3 SM-N9005 downgrade files because i really miss 4.3 battery life

---------- Post added at 07:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

yes of course i ment with 4.2.2 system and 5 modem every thing work or else
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
That was strange ....

Ex:

I have android 4.2.2(old bootloader and no knox) and i cant flash 4.2.2 modem

But when i flash 4.4 or 5.0 medem knox is getting back again even if i dident flash any bootloader file

How the knox get back ...i have 4.2.2 and flash over it 5.0 modem file only
[Galaxy Note 3 General] msasm09:
yes there's another copy of latest modem flashed so it cannot be override

another thing that most of ota updates are regarding modem files which associate with pluging knox security holes .....

you can use pit file analyser to examine two identical partition

thoes check bits must be on thoes two partitions

i suggest to dump them then wipe thoes two partition and try to reflash 4.2.2 modem

i think if it works this must reset knox counter to zero
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
Do you own a N9005 phone?

If you do i will upload all the files to downdrade to 4.3 and se for yousellf

Or if you have 3815.i9505 you can try the files above

If you fail to flash the files ...first downgrade to 4.4 and after that flash the files from the links
