[Galaxy Note 3 General] nicholaschum:
Actually you are wrong. Tampering with Mac software DOES NOT void your warranty. It's having anything inside your Mac that does not meet requirement of the stock set up that does. You can just replace anything you want in the machine hardware wise like replace your ODD with an SSD. But if you want the warranty it makes sense to just put the ODD back. Software wise, Apple does not give a rat's ass if you change their software, because they have tools on an external hard drive to boot right off THAT OS rather than your tampered one for systematic and ordered test results.

Don't use the word "weird". Approach what you see logically and give an assumption.

Understand what warranty means. Your warranty is NEVER voided unless it leaves a permanent mark saying that it has been tampered with. If I flash Ubuntu on my Note 2 and I needed to send it for repairs, sending it as is will not get you anything because 1) they are not responsible if they touched the non-warrantied software, as they can get sued. 2) you are responsible for what you did to your device, since you are expected to know the full Android system dedicated on your device and how it worked, you are expected to know how to put it back when YOU ****ed up.

That is why they call warranty "as-is". If they try and blame you because they found your own modified software on it, it's your fault. If they see a problem even on their software, then its their fault.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Skander1998:
Well yes you can damage your hardware (digitizer in example in case of Note 2 when flashing the wrong recovery and return to stock by flashing it and claiming that the phone just broke. (this is hardware damage by flashing, and you can return to stock and claim it never happened)

The Note 3 has the permanent counter that won't allow you to fool them.

And yes tampering with Mac software does void your warranty if you don't revert it before sending it (it lacks a non resettable counter).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nicholaschum:
You clearly stated you never had a Mac. I own a Mac. I take apart Macs and replace/repair them with non-stock parts and claim warranty. But my claim still stands, it's your fault if you made it obvious that you tampered with it, you know you obviously ****ed up and you're begging to get your device fixed free of charge, so obviously you have revert it, for warranty's sake.

Also, if the digitizer DID break, download mode does not require the touch panel to function. Open Odin, flash stock and you're done. With correct software, everything should be fine. Unless you tripped that counter, then you find your own excuse. If you're on the S2 or below, you can even use a hardware jig available on eBay for 0.99 a pop. But for my Note 3 I haven't tripped it, so I'm still on safe grounds.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Skander1998:
You seem to not get my point, YES I know you can flash stock and pretend it never happened to claim warranty, and that's the point of an non resettable counter to show that yes you did root it and tamper with it and yes you did break it and should not get it repaired for free.

I never said I don't own a Mac? I do own a Macbook Air but didn't tamper with it.

Here you won't get it fixed if you change the software - and that's my point from this whole thread don't deviate me from my point, tampering software does void your warranty in a ton of situations, including the Note 3 and you shouldn't whine about Knox.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Surge1223:
Shut up about the ethics of the warranty void already people. Here. Maybe it can be reversed. Do more, talk less.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nicholaschum:
My bad I mixed you up with Omega.

That is a very non-systematic place you live in, Apple has no right to look into your software unless explicitly requesting you to let them. Source: Experience with 50+ warranty exchanges.

In this case with Samsung, tampering with the software as a whole does void your warranty in their case, but the fact that the Note 3 has a permanent warranty void indicator means that you ACTUALLY do void your warranty permanently. The fact that you can change a RDLV rooted device back to stock with no damage to the counter still proves that the warranty is still valid, however, as I explicitly stated before, warranty is 'as-is', meaning how you cannot give a custom ROM phone back to the OEM, is just like how you shouldn't tamper with the software to mess up the KNOX counter and give it back to the OEM. That was why RDLV was created, and destroyed.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Absolon:
WHO do you think will defend Knox to all costs? ;)

Skander,

can't you pass it up to your bosses, that I'll gladly sign any paper that I don't care about warranty and send back a 4.3 that has a normal

bootloader and a "disarmed" booby trap?

That would be so nice of you.

Oh, an instruction how to remove that unique certificate would be nice as well, or is that impossible? How goes the work on the Knox-chip anyway?

The Israelis are good. I remember back in the days then they cracked the "impossible" security of GSM because of it's "hopping".

I would call this an axiom: "Where there is code there is bugs". Like a Murphy, but then, he was an optimist ;)

Let Samsung have Knox. Let LG implement KNIX. And Sony, SOCKS.

Then we wait for someone that will do a "General Purpose" device that will just sweep away everything and Samsung will partner with Nokia and

the other axiom in the computer world "Microsoft will NEVER get a successful mobile platform".

I mean, what is this, 6th try? They can call it whatever they want. Just take a look at ALLLLL the programs that exist in Microsoft's version of

Play/<whatever that Ajfoun version is called>.

Knox is a bit like you would renovate your bathroom with expensive nice tiles and then the "tilers" came back and crushed it all with a hammer just

because you happened to pee a bit on the "edge".
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Absolon:
hehe, provoke me? In a forum? haha :P

I'm too old for that.

And yes, I got a lot of interesting things, THANK YOU ALL!!!!!

And keep em commin'. I think we might have a lead.

And please, don't bother regging and just pm'ing me. And don't log in from *,samsung,com please. You should not be on a forum on work time.

Or does that only apply to Facebook?

Happy new Year!

T-Mobile Note 3 Knox 0X1 tripped

Hello everyone.

I've rooted all my phones and Knox is a new thing to me.

Recently I upgraded to a Note 3 from a rooted Note 2 and of course the first thing i did is root it.

Now I find out I tripped the knox security implementation software and everything seems to be running fine.

With my rooting experience there has never been any problems except for if you accidentally flash a defective

rom and or kernel and return for a replacement.,

I think the best thing is to just be very, very, very, very careful when flashing roms and kernels on the Note 3 and

all will be ok.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Absolon:
Yes, so you don't flash over that "E-fuse data" that seems to be that missing chuck of your real space and that it's really bad to even peek in and catastrophocal to poke ;)

And of course, you can't flash wrecklessly. This isn't HTC where you have options if you soft-brick ;)

/Abs
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Spere:
Okay, I didn't read full thread and this is more or less offtopic.

I bought note and damn I want to gain root without tripping knox flag, i'm afraid of tripping it. But I don't need knox or want it...

What I came to say here - about quoted comment:

Yes, your phone is your phone - like you said, you bought it.

At same time you PAID for KNOX (as well as for charger, usb-cable, s-pen, s-window, scrapbook, s-note, power button, volume buttons, ir-led, camera.......)

You bought ALL that came in the box

So, if you don't like s-pen - throw it away, if you don't like wall charger - throw it away, if you don't like camera - try to get rid of it (might make damage to your phone, same for ir-led, or proximity sensor - you bought them so do what ever you want to it)

Same for knox - root your phone (again, might do some damage to your phone like burning an efuse, what else?) and remove knox - YOU CAN. You can remove any app / part of your phone by your own risk. They are yours since you "paid for it with your money", and for knox it's easy (eg. flash custom rom that doesn't have knox installed)

So who owns your phone - YOU. Samsung only made it how it is and how you bought it: flat with two cameras, big screen, running Android, knox installed, (this list is long)......
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nicholaschum:
But to claim warranty for free is like getting free lunch from Samsung, it's their parts/replacement device. So if you decide to claim the device as fully yours (tripping KNOX) you give up your right to get free repairs from Samsung because it's YOUR phone and nothing to do with them right?

Samsung still owns your phone, you kind of "leased" your phone because their branding is always going be on it. It's like if you franchise McDonalds, you have to follow all rules and regulations or else you get shut down, you paid for your right use the brand, the difference is you don't have to return the device.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] frostmore:
smartphones nowadays are akin to PC.

PC resellers do not unilaterally void warranty because you choose to install a different software,gaining admin access (root in android's case) or removing useless bloatware(samdung's crap).

what samdung is doing here is:

1. Unilaterally voiding warranty because you trip knox counter via rooting or installing a custom recovery or installing a custom kernel or any other thing samdung deemed "unauthorised"(gaining admin access).

2. Declaring on their blog that they are not against rooting but their actions speaks louder than words and contradicts point 1.

3. Trying to set a precedence that mobile phone is different from PCs and they (samdung) are trying to pull the wool on consumers by setting rules and regulations about how to use their phones (even though legally, the phone belongs to us)

as for the software,what we are buying are actually licenses to use samdung's crap.that includes knox and every other bloatware that comes along with the phone but not android itself as its open source,therefore they cannot charge us anything as that would fly in the face of copyleft agreement.

as with software,all users must agree to EULA before they can install or use it.with knox security bit in bootloader(low level software) there is no such agreement before use.therefore its forced upon consumers without their explicit agreement or knowledge.which, in a sense, breaks the terms & conditions in a legally binding contract.

as for warranty,this is a guarantee from samdung on the phone's (hardware and imo some software) integrity from defects (usually manufacturing defects due to qc failure) and forms part of the contract between the reseller,the consumer and samdung.

to unilaterally void warranty because knox security bit is tripped,laying the blame on end user for its defect,is what,in your own words,trying to get a free lunch out of consumers.

i am pretty sure many are not against samdung's knox or samdung trying to protect its interests.what i am against is the act of forcing ppl to accept unfair terms and condition,beneficial to mega corporations through unscrupulous means i.e hiding knox bit counter in low level software without letting consumer know what it is and what it actually does.

and also,ppl who do not want those software should have a choice of completely removing them.this includes the low level stuff as well.and samdung is not doing that and they are still forcing consumers to accept enterprise solutions and paying for it.

as for your point of "leasing" phones from samdung because of their branding and what not,what we are doing,by using and carrying their phones around,is considered advertising for samdung,therefore,we should be paid a fee as acting advertisement agents for samdung right?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] refinition:
If you still want help, my note 3 still has root access. Haven't updated to the newest updated yet though. How do I check selinux status though?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
Settings > General > about device
[Galaxy Note 3 General] refinition:
Selinux is enforcing. So my phone is rooted with De la Vegas and still on mj1 firmware, do you need me to do anything?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nicholaschum:
Oh and because I went so off-topic.....to the OP, there really isn't many ways to get a disabled SELinux device unless you flashed a different kernel, which means you break KNOX and have root.

Maybe should have asked to look for people who used Kingo root or RDLV successfully because those are the only people who fit your criteria.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] alwayslookingforanswers:
I have AT&T version of the Note 3. Rooted unrooted and back again. I have used Kingo and Rdlv. Have had and still do have selinux enforced. I'll help in anyway I can. I to believe that there is some sort of hidden something there. Point being, wife had s4 thru sprint. I Rooted it uninstalled all security policy updates removed everything I could. Her device had an update pushed to her device and it was a complete hard brick. Sprint even tried to fix it couldn't get it to do nothing. Sent it off to Samsung. They said they would repair it for a fee. I accepted their offer. They sent it back and said it couldn't be fixed. Said I would have to purchase another device. I have had multiple attempts on my note 3 when I'm on wifi. Where it starts to download a update. And I've removed everything. I mean everything! I've been lucky enough to stop it. I no longer use wifi period. I am almost to the point where they are trying to destroy devices so they can sell more. I think there is a real problem with all this. I think people need to look outside the box and realize that there is something that needs to be done about this. TMobile will have their bootloader locked down soon enough I believe. I think that Samsung will not give them a choice otherwise in the near future. It's money out of their pocket. And big business is all about money not what's best for the people. Just my thoughts. And what's has happened to me.

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

Guess I need to add that her s4 was totally stock rom, nothing custom except root. So how was I destroying any hardware on her device. I didn't put any Mods etc on it. What gives them the right to try and make that device up to their standards. If I wanted it to stay on the firmware it was on, then why should that be a problem. She didn't want anyone having access to her device except her.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kaczman:
Hello all,

First off merry christmas. Secondly, I got a new phone to replace my waterlogged S4 (dont buy OBEX case.) The great news is that it has MDL on it, not MK2.

I can still access and use my old phone. It just has no menu or back button.

Is there a way to take a backup or image from clockwork recovery and put it on my new S4? What would be the best process and steps to follow?

Thanks in advance for anyone that can help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Android_Monsters:
Should be pretty straight forward. Make a cwm backup of your old phone. Put it on your SD card.

Root the new phone and and install cwm. Put the SD card with the backup on it in the new phone and restore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
Why not just clean install to avoid potential issues?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobolinko:
If the phones are the same MODEL and from the same Provider (T-Mobile) you should be easily able to do it.

First requirement tho is that the new phone should be Rooted like the old one. (I presume it is as you have had CWM backups on the old phone)

Install CWM on the new one, and make a backup and name the backup as "original" or something that you will know it's of the new phone.

Connect the OLD phone to your computer and look in the folder where your OLD CWM Backup was done.

Copy the entire Blockworkmod/backup folder to a folder on your computer's hard drive (anywhere that is easy for you to find later)

Then disconnect the old phone and connect the new one.

Copy the clockworkmod\backup folders CONTENTS to the new phone's Clockworkmod/Backup folder.

You should then be able to get into recovery mode and do a CWM Restore from the file(s) you copied to it.

the old phone (if you didn't backup to an external SDCard) would have the backups stored in

Data/Media/clockworckmod

if you cannot see it using your computer, you can try using ADB to get the file and put on your computer and then later copy it to the new phone.

an External SDCard would be much easier (I'm not sure if you know how to use ADB tho.)

if you didn't have an External SDCard, your backup is located in Data/Media/clockworckmod

Hope this helps you....

Aloha and Good Luck!
