Tbh I can understand why Samsung reject phones with Knox void. We are probably 0.1% of the 30million S4s they sold this year. Why should they honour it. I'm just gutted I can't pretend I haven't rooted it when I send it back for repair. Getting a nexus next time. Won't need to root it as there's no bloatware to remove :)

Hi all

Just to let You know, in case it has not been mentioned yet.

KNOX flag 0x1 does not void warranty for Vodafone Ireland. I have had sent my phone to be fixed twice due to display issues.

Both times with 0x1. Eventually got my phone replaced, and guess what? For the one with the old bootloader. Happy days :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] mahmoud007:
knox

i'll give you the right answer tomorrow

ill be delivered my phone back from warranty after knox void 0x1 tripped and asked them to fix it on device warranty .

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

and i must tell you that before i gave my device to warranty .. i flashed the original Rom

and removed the root from it in trying to keep my warranty

now the counter on the bootloader screen says Rom official and binary official but knox warranty void 0x1 and kies recognize my device again

so its seems like manufacturer fault :P

i hope this'll work without money :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] swiftstealth:
Sprint insurance adjusted their policy a while ago to honor warranty issues as well as damage (cracked screen, etc) even if the phone is rooted...I don't know if it has changed, but it used to be that the only way they wouldn't replace your phone was if you bricked it. I have even heard of some cases where the user softbricked it and the technicians flashed it back to stock but I doubt that experience is typical.
[Galaxy S 4 General] bungadudu:
That would be the ideal case.

If all is official, phone is recognized by kies etc, would be absolutely normal to repair under warranty.

Especially since there are cases in which the knox counter was tripped by a bad update via kies..

Hi, i'm from Malaysia.

Last two weeks, after upgrading my phone via OTA to 4.3 , the touchscreen became unresponsive after the screen turned off and wake it up again. The only ways I could do to make it responsive again is by pulling the pen out, do a couple swipes using the pen and then the touchscreen become responsive again. At first i thought it was the stock ROM issue so I tried to flash 4.1.2 back using ODIN, and of course it failed.

To my surprise, my Knox flag is triggered! So in my opinion Knox is triggered when it detected any ATTEMPT , and not after the bootloader is overwrited. After flashing any other custom ROM(since my Knox already triggered), the touchscreen problem is still there and my last option is to send it to Samsung SC and be prepared to pay a lot of money. (average price of screen/touch module replacement is RM800++ (USD 300) . When the technician check my phone , he doesn't even mention about the warranty void or KNOX , but only ask me to come again in 3 days since he need to replace my phone touch module. And after 3 days, he returned back the repaired phone to me, and with NO COST at all, which mean he did it under the warranty. Even my Knox is resetted back to 0x0 . So I think Knox doesn't affect our warranty at all.

P/S : Before send my phone for repair, i've resetted my binary count using TriangleAway and reflash the official firmware using Odin.

[Galaxy S 4 General] chickentuna:
So you're ok with sony and htc's locked bootloader which gives you a permanent mark that you've unlocked your phone and voids your warranty BUT not ok with Samsung's knox?

Sony and htc are no different. They all want to lockdown their phones and wants warranties voided for any attempts to unlock it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] chudy_85:
In sony to Root the device you dont need unlocked bootloader

Dear mahmoud

Did you take it to axiom or Eros..??.. it is sooo painful for me to keep my Note3 without root due to the stupid Knox..so if they don`t have any idea about it i`ll be more than happy to root it now.:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 General] mahmoud007:
i'v gone for both :rolleyes: the only solution they know is to change and replace and flashing rom .. no coding or programming skills at all !!

i would'v be much happier if they told me that they can use Jtag or changing eMMC for my previously s4 .. at least ill figure out that they actually know better than i do .. they told me not possible to downgrade and i make it very possible at least for my device

the only thing that they are good at is replace and change .. which is very disappointing .

i'm an amateur in programming and coding still i know too much than they do .

now i sold my s4 away and i bought HTC One LTE fully 32GB memory + 2GB ram "can use swap to extend it" and pretty much the same Important Hardware with lighter software and Lower price than s4 LTE Half 16GB memory with punch of needless crap hardware. :victory:

i recommend you if you want root access and want to test and make your own apps just sell your device and buy another market dont root it or you'll suffer in selling it with one non working app unless you cheat on the buyer "which is not cool at all"

Hi. I'm a newb here. But after read most of post here i have 1 conclusion.

If something happened on your phone and you need to claim warranty while knox already 0x1, then the extreme way to do is going to brick your phone so samsung technician can't even see the knox flag and just replace the ROM chip and flash the new fresh ROM ? LOLz.:p

Γεια σας.Σκέφτομαι να αγοράσω το note 3 μεταχειρισμένο από ένα φίλο. Το τηλέφωνο είναι αγορασμένο από Cytashop με απόδειξη αγοράς κανονικά . Ο φίλος μου είπε ότι το κινητό φοράει κανονικά επίσημη εργοστασιακη Rom της Samsung χωρίς καμία τροποποίηση ή root. Απλώς επειδή στο παρελθόν είχε βάλει κάποιες ανεπίσημες τροποποιημένες Rom έχει αλλάξει ο knox counter σε 0x1.

Θα έχω κάποιο πρόβλημα με την εγγύηση τώρα?

Αγαπητέ πελάτη,

Η ενημέρωση από τα καταστήματα μας είναι ότι αν το κινητό έχει κάποιο hardware πρόβλημα το καλύπτει η εγγύηση. Αν όμως έχει κάποιο software πρόβλημα δεν θα το διορθώσουν.

For hw problems the warranty still stands!

I've not read this anywhere, but it would be great if true as I would likely keep this device instead of return it. I want to downgrade to 4.11 again so I can unlock the AWS band and switch carriers ($30 unlimited calling/data instead of $50 for 1GB).

I'm going to dig around some more on this but it would be great if someone could definitively confirm this and possibly provide a link with instructions. I'd want to be 100% sure before my return window is up.

BTW, I received a "response" from Samsung and its generic crap that doesn't relate at all to my concerns, let alone address them to my satisfaction. :/
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
It will even remove the knox counter in download mode. Google for it it's on XDA ;)

nop
[Galaxy S 4 General] rgshah3:
How do you do that?
[Galaxy S 4 General] e1evene1even:
I've spent the better part of the day looking for this with no luck. It's not as simple as just "googling it", and if it is, I would appreciate if someone could provide the instructions or magic search terms I need to use. :angel:

In my understanding, it's possible to root without tripping Knox, it's possible to install a version of 4.3 without Knox (however I think that will still trip the flag), and there appears to be some Easy-JTAG solution for a few models of phones (my Note 2 version I317M not specifically mentioned) and spending $200 on a hardware box and many hours for a $300 phone is impractical. :confused:

I think a solution is *possible* to revert the flag to 0x0 (especially for the older Note 2), but I don't believe one has actually been found, at least one that doesn't require advanced knowledge or specialized hardware.

I'd love to be shown wrong here, but if I can't get this figured out in the next few days, I'm just going to return the phone and wait for a Nexus 6 or hope Samsung eventually gets the message and Knox it off. ;)

It's a great phone, and I'm really enjoying Android/CM, but I've also gained a new appreciation for the simple "one-click" Jailbreaks and painless factory restorations for the iPhone (whether this remains possible in iOS8+ remains to be seen however)...
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
It's only for note 2 not anything else.

I'm not sure how to do there's most likely instructions on the thread where it belongs

nop
[Galaxy S 4 General] e1evene1even:
I'm pretty sure I've found the information. It works for more than just the Note II unless we are talking about different methods. My model is not listed, but it's the same processor as the other Note II's so most likely works.

I can't link to outside URLS since I'm a new user, but the information is posted by NoName (Vim1 here), and Babak Nuri on GSMHosting dot com.

Googling:

"GT-I9500 Set Warranty BIT to "0" .....Solution Inside - First ih the World" provides the instructions,

and Googling:

"Regarding the KNOX on S4 ..." will list the supported models,

Unfortunately, it requires special equipment so doesn't really make sense for most people, but I think that it could eventually become something offered by places that already have the proper hardware/expertise to provide phone repair and unlocking.

Who knows, maybe one of them would do it for free in exchange for the information and being able to then add it to their list of services.

Anyway, hopefully that info can save some others time searching, and if another method exists to reset Knox with the same tools needed to screw it up (computer + USB cable) someone please let me know! :)

[Galaxy S 4 General] PantsDownJedi:
Same experience here. We only have 4.3 when I brought it in to Telstra so the statusbar icon colours were a dead giveaway just from looking at it. They would have swapped it out over the counter but had none in stock so it was sent to Samsung. I got a refurb back 2 days later, all done by courier. Was voided all manner of ways, wrong firmware version, wrong country, had flags for custom recovery and custom kernel, etc. Also, no Telstra boot animation in kernel. It was completely hassle free with both the carrier and Samsung.
[Galaxy S 4 General] louiscar:
For those in EU - Eu directive means knox does NOT void warranty

As an EU consumer this directive seems pretty clear to me.

https://fsfe.org/freesoftware/legal/flashingdevices.en.html

1) Before 6 months any fault is assumed to be there from the beginning.

2) Mandatory 2 year warranty - in the case of rooting or flashing and Samsung stating that the fault was cause by that they HAVE to prove it.

I think this is (for EU consumers) a good indication that the knox or the flash counter means nothing in terms of warranty. I take the advice in the above link that one should flash back to stock to prove that any fault exist before sending to Samsung or their service agents.

One thing they could argue is in this statement:

"There are very few hardware defects that are caused by software — e.g. overriding the speaker volume above the safe level could blow the speaker."

So it might depend on what fault you are reporting and how Samsung view it.

I've had my N5 for a couple of days now but it has a single stuck pixel (only visible when brightness is not at full). I've started the RMA process and Google has already shipped me a replacement device which will be here sometime next week.

I've already set everything up and I would prefer to not have to redownload all of my apps etc.

I was wondering if it's possible to create a titanium backup (or similar) on my current device and then restore it to the new phone.

Will this cause any issues? Am I going to overwrite the new phone's EFS data with the previous one or something similar? Does my current system partition contain anything specific to things like CPU binning or unique device IDs that will overwrite their counterparts on the new phone?

I have got my qtek9000 for a week now and I'm very satisfied with it (except for the BT performance). Today I noticed some very small marks/damage on the inside of the lid (on the left side of the TFT). I thinks they are due to keys (2/Q/A/Z) touching the lid when closed. Do other people have the same marks after a while?

One other question: the qtek 9000 is black colored, did they apply black paint or did they use black plastics.

brgds, Richard

You are right these are the keys touching. My Jasjar is now over 2 months old and the marks are not only on the LCD cover left side but also on top of the keys you mention.
