Hi..

i have flashed my s5 (sm g900h) with official firmware via odin but its showing me that "knox warranty void 0x1" ..So plz find out a way how to reset it. I dont wanna loose my warranty.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mielletseed:
Sweet. I'm sure, now somebody will find a solution. Else you would lose your warranty...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] soulaiman:
Hey why don't you find it yourself then ? Comon man we are trying to find a solution for this almost 2 years... Don't ask questions like that.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] KkdGab:
Seriously, are you going to break your phone? And if you are on stock then what could you possibly do wrong? And most of the times they don't even bother to check.

This has been going on for 2 years, and if it were that simple don't

You think there would already be a solution?

It's a quote for returning to a non-rooted state. But Knox still 0x1 I presume!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] neilbangs19:
knox counter reset

I think you can reset your knox counter

The steps are as follows

1. Load stock firmware of your region on your rooted phone

2.Factory reset your device.

3.load other region's stock firmware on your device.

This will brick your phone.

Now Unbrick your device using a stock bootloader which will trip the knox counter.

And at last load the stock firmware of your region.

Enjoy

Download wanam Xposed - go to security hacks - tap fake system status.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] prakalejas:
Does wanam module really help with official updates, with screencasting and so on? I have bad experience especially with screencasting not working if device gets unofficial, modified status and knox 0x1 is the problem.

But it has nothing to do with knox flag...

Module

I tried the mod but even tho it downloads the update, it fails to install. After it reboots itself, the phonne prompts and says to try using Kies. Oviously Kies will check Knox. Thus still no updating unless flashed with Odin.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BROKEN1981:
Not sure why you are having a problem honestly. Even my s5 thats listed as custom can take an ota with knox 0x1.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cwvink:
Yes there is. Either by using Wanam Xposed or Triangle Away (provided that you're rooted), although this may not work on every device. Triangle Away didn't seem to work on my Note 4 (yet). What I did was flash Touchwiz again, using Odin. That put my device status back to Official. I can confirm this, because OTA works once again. The only 'downside' is that your device will be unrooted again. Rooting it again probably disables OTA again. You'll have to make a choice.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BROKEN1981:
Hi Everybody, It's to hard to Lose your warranty but finally I have restore it by chance thanx for god

First I have download the firmware from www.sammobile.com and use odain to remove the root

then I use Bootloader.tar to make the counter zero then I make factory reset with clean wipe cach then I login inme google account on me phone and so on then install the firmware anther time on my phone and Its done

before tat Knox isn't work on me phone

but Now Knox is work again

I'm so Happy

Just got this pm. Are users on XDA actually trying to troll users now?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] eRPeeX:
* Odain is Odin I presume?

* Bootloader.tar

¿link?

* then I login inme google account on me phone and so on ...

¿Original firmware ?

* then install the firmware anther time on my phone

¿Which one?

* and Its done before tat Knox isn't work on me phone

¿So it's still 0x1?

I'm new in this Samsung world with Knox counters, and I couldn't understand if I root (CF Auto Root) my Note 4 N910F via Odin, the Knox counter will change to 1 or it will keep on 0x0?

I tried to find any answer for this question, and I still the same way when I started...

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] iam.jose:
Figured it out. I had Phils CWM & it was messing up the update. After flashing 4.4.2 & unrooting my phone I was able to update to 4.4.4. Now I wanna reroot, but havent had luck with Chain Fires Root Method. Anyone have any other working methods?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] iferlive:
You will get knox 0x1 which means you will void your warranty.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bigbabo:
Ota does not work on knox 0x1 even if unrooted i can confirm that but for those that want the new firmware and have knox 0x1 use kies that works than root again i have done it .

MY NOTE 3 BETTA THAN YOURZ ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BROKEN1981:
Thats not true. I was rooted, was able to update to nk2. System was custom. Also tripped knox will not stop ota.

Now im not saying every ota will let a rooted device take the update. Not sure why. Some updates will work while others will not. If you had knox tripped and could not update then you did something wrong like convert a system app to user, used tb to freeze an app or deleted system apps. Its your end,not the ota. OR you have a custom recovery installed.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bigbabo:
Agree to disagree.

MY NOTE 3 BETTA THAN YOURZ ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Lt1streconbn:
I have issue with your comment... nothing intentional on your part, but maybe failure to think of the consequences. If a device can be tampered with undetected it can have spywares of a fashion installed into the device in ways Knox & tima couldn't detect even if it were then restored to stock condition with the Knox counter showing 0x0. These devices are used by people with 'important' information. These people use encryption but it would be ineffective against spywares installed in the device as it would be part of the system itself... perhaps on its own partition an not effected by reset or reflash of firmware. I could do these things quite easily and access anything in a device. I'd only need access for 30 minutes or less, and then when the phone was used by a person I would be able to access their info on it or just have it simply send any info to me directly as it is added by the user without their knowledge and Knox wouldn't even know and no warning would pop up... can you see the issue now? Knox is basically sensors that look for problems... tima checks the kernel for tampering during boot. I've been sifting thru them for quite a while now and figured out that this isn't just a warranty issue. That 0x1 lets people know the device is compromised. My former employer contacted me about this directly, so I wont be posting helpful information to bypass security and privacy safeguards relating to Knox anymore. In my opinion, we should just let it go and move on. We have root access to do what we wish with our devices, and we choose to buy Samsung and until they make a line without these types of security measures for people that simply want to customize their device to fit them and install a custom OS.... we're stuck with it :) We represent a pretty small percentage of user though, so I'm not holding my breath. I'm sorry if you're counter is stuck 0x1 but there are bigger issues to consider.

Note: I did find where the Knox bit is stored finally and relayed to /dev/_properties_ which is where properties are stored for the device. Not easy to edit directly in that file without corruption and it will be reset during reboot . You'll probably trip security in the device which disables SU access anyway... I didn't attempt resetting it though directly due to ceasing work on this. I really think Samsung needs two lines of devices honestly without these security measures to keep people like us from hacking thru it and defeating it eventually. In the end... hackers always come out on top. It does kill me not sharing anything I figured out in the past months
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudo77:
By the way you replied, I really think you do have issues with my comment. How can you criticize me so? When I work with technology it is in my nature and duty to consider ALL the consequences and sides of the story, choose the best path and provide a feasible solution. Having said that, I also do not stop thinking about an issue that cannot be solved. I know I must move on because it is not helpful to be stuck on the same issue for years and years, but that doesn't mean I have to give up and not be persistent.

You do not have to write pages to make me understand, I understand what you are say. Preferably, this sentence is enough:

I know Knox is a warranty/verification/service issue, not a technical one. It is not an anti-virus, just a validation token. I told people countless of times that it is up to the service center to repair those with a tripped Knox. I also know that Tima checks the kernel for tampering, that was established months if not a year and a half ago. Tell me something I do not already know.

If you understand your own points above you should also understand why it GOES BACK TO 1 itself every time you reboot in your solution. If words do not help you comprehend, here is a simple diagram for you:

At EACH boot time:

[Bootloader uses TIMA to verify kernel, recovery, etc] --> [PASS/FAIL (If FAIL do not halt boot BUT write 1 in RPMB)] --> [Bootloader check for previous 1 in RPMB (If found modify scripts when booted)] --> [Boot Kernel (OS)] --> [Run init] --> [Start userspace processes and scipts]

My memory of the Linux boot process is hazy, but please read more about it. You will find that you CANNOT modify scipts (aka your dev/"properties" file) because it is at the END of the boot chain. Temporary resets does not cut the cake. There are only two ways to modify this proprerly: The bootloader OR the EMMC where the flag is stored. BUT both is NOT possible because:

a.) The Bootloader is locked.

b.) The area in EMMC (RPMB) where the flag is stored is securely encrypted.

Once again, I will tell you: the flag is NOT located at the OS level but higher up, if you can prove otherwise, do so here. If not, DO NOT MAKE ME REPEAT THIS AGAIN, I am tired of repeating myself. Oh, and a couple of pages eariler about using WANAM to mask Knox. Why in the world would you do this? You will find it will go back to 1 just as fast. Pointless. Both solutions are infeasible. However I am glad people are questioning others who claim to have "reset" Knox. I did it! Oh yeah?

PROVE IT!

You are right about another thing. In the end, hackers will win such as in this case, and they will be recuited by large companies like Samsung, in the end, the large companies will prevail.

In other news: Ya'll have a good Christmas? :) and Happy New Years from me.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] JonSCSL:
The flash counter can be reset not Knox counter.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bot42:
It started out as both
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudo77:
Well, providing a resettable BL will only work if, you haven't upgraded your version of the BL to that of the resettable one (because it will NOT downgrade). It also will not work Snapdragon models because it works differently in that model.

The bounty should go to whoever UNLOCKS the bootloader (much higher there), that is what we need here. As well as finding the key that the BL passes to the memory area that stores the Knox flag, so we can permanently erase it.

http://www.thewire.com/technology/2...nty-for-rooting-the-samsung-galaxy-s5/371824/

Oh, I talked with another user who actually has a "freezing" BL for a Snapdragon version, but is is not a main-stream model, it is a Canadian version. Basically you need to have NOT tripped your Knox already (0) and what it does is makes the counter immune to tripping. But since most people already upgraded to Kitkat, that opportunity has passed.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BROKEN1981:
Well then for starters go grab a t-mobile device since they don't lock the bootloader.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudo77:
The solution shouldn't be for one specific carrier, but for all (that why you actually need to DO it for other devices). But fine, next you would need a developer with a lot of brains, to rework to BL (for aboot, because all I've seen is for sboot) to issue a reset instruction to internal memory. You will find, then, more problems:

- Where is the key that allows write access to that memory?

- How do we find it (perhaps decrypt it)?

- You would also need to break the link between the physical fuse, if you want the flag to stay at 0. (For aboot models)

A solution I do think will be resolved soon. It's been more than a year, why not a few more?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BROKEN1981:
For one, if people can hack knox then Samsung will just go full on encryption. They need it secure as the op said.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] mostmaz899:
sorry the mounting point is

storage/emulated/100
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudo77:
Hmm, I searched my device for the "emulated" directory with root and recursive but I couldn't find it. Strange. However, I like this idea. If you can detach the Knox flag memory area, that would be great. There can be a few issues though:

- Insufficient permission access

- Hidden from OS (unreadable)

- Part of a larger partition (if detached, can break it)

As a heads up, the partition you are looking for should be no larger than 512kB. Tiny. Well, not for 20 years ago, but now yes.

Note: I just remember coming up with this before, oh well.

Trust me, I am quite good at searching directories and contents within a file. It is not there. This lets me down a bit, because I have Knox, so it should be there. Are you Exynos? Have a look at my screenshot below.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] WarriorXNL:
Strange indeed i am on qualcomm what should make no difference in the files being there is it possible that the files moved somehow ? I mean you have knox so there should be files somewhere

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudo77:
Correct!

Edit: Oh oh oh! I didn't know why I didn't realize that before. People, please pay attention carefully to what I am about say. I purged the Knox container and apps completely out of my system (what a resource hog). They only thing that remains is the flag. The flag and the container app are completely DIFFERENT.

What you see above is presumably the CONTAINER partition, it is created as a secure location for data sensitive apps when the Knox app is run. I do not have it anymore. I was taking about the Knox FLAG bit which is stored elsewhere. Please note that this thread is for discussing the reset of the Knox flag/counter NOT the container. Thanks for understanding.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] WarriorXNL:
Makes sense, the search continues for where the flag/counter is placed, or maybe one of you previously mentioned issues is at play

[Galaxy Note 3 General] alom5:
Most of the custom roms are pre rooted. .. All you need to do is put a recovery on and flash away. I just use odin and flash cwm and also tried twrp. Your knox will go 0x1 though. .. If you care.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hayabusa08:
Just download a custom recovery.tar and flash it using mobileodin. Download your new custom rom. Go into recovery and wipe data/factory reset. Then install custom rom and kernel from there. Do a nandroid backup of ur current rom should there be any problems. And im sure flashing custom recovery and kernels will trip ur knox counter. If not an issue then ur good to go. No need for a stock rom flash prior to custom rom installation. Just full wipe is needed via custom recovery would do. If its only kernel then there is no need for stock rom flashing as well. Custom recovery and custom kernel zip to flash will do. Unless you wanna root using cf method then you need the stock firmware for your phone to remove de la vega root method. Cheers
