You can buy a service from eBay to get your phone back up and running if it's blacklisted. Worked great for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AndyBrine:
Hi Techngro,

I came across your post about your blocked galaxy note 3 and am wondering if we can help one another. I have purchased my galaxy note 3 (32gb) on ebay and it is in fully working order and I discovered today that my phone has been blocked. So like yourself, I am unable to dial out or receive any calls. After numerous calls, it seems as though I am not able to get this resolved.

One thing that I have discovered is that as my phone is network blocked or blacklisted, and it should work in the US. I would imagine that your mobile phone should also work here in the UK. If you would be willing to, I would be more than happy to chat with you about swapping the phones. Please let me know if this maybe something you maybe interested in doing?

Many Thanks

Andy

Hey my name is Jennifer and this is for the guy who bought the note 3 are you from kansas city if so I had my note 3 stolen and it was tmobile and which I had service thru family mobile and so when it was stolen i obvisouly called and reported it as. If you could just give me a call and maybe we can see if its my note 3 or not 8167163639.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] revized:
You can pay $25 on eBay to have the imei "cleaned" lol I heard they do it using engineering mode somehow, although I think they just call a secret guy that works for tmobile and pays him $10 bucks to get it working again, it worked for me different 5 times for 5 different phones , as long as you don't try to get insurance or go to tmobile I line and check the imei status , I did and then it was blacklisted again and had to pay to get it cleaned again lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] westkhalifa13:
What does this truely mean. I just rooted via ODIN and my flag was tripped 0x1, does the flag geg tripped regardless if you root or install custom roms ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
Seriously, there are tons of threads on this. You didn't do any research before rooting your phone?

Once tripped it can't be reset. If you planned on flashing roms, there it's no way around reporting the Knox flag. Now that you have already tripped it, you can't go back.

Whether or not it will effect you depends on how you use your phone, software out hardware issues you may have and if you try to get warrantee repair. For many it it's not a big deal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] westkhalifa13:
I did do my research Im just asking a question maybe there was an update on how to change the void but obviously kot . Thanks anyway. Dont get all hyped thats what xda is for
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] megaearth77:
Hi, I got my note 3 recently and all i have done is just root my note 3 so far. but i have been doing some readings. from what i had found is Knox is a software on your phone, i am guessing and this is just a guess if you use the bloatware remover it might delete the knox program and files from your phone. It might trigger a reset on the counter. I remember reading the list of files it deletes, and it delete all of knox files and folder and a bunch of other stuff but you can edit the script to make it only delete the knox. It might delete the counter or reset it. And you can just reinstall it back and see if the counter is back at 0. remember i am just taking a guess here, does any 1 think this might work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
You cannot reset the Knox flag once it had been tripped.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
Try that and you might blow the efuse they have with removing Knox.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kalm_Traveler:
By just deleting Knox? Pretty sure lots of us have removed it by now and not blown any fuse. I deleted it right out of the box and my phone works just fine...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
You didn't delete Knox fully or it would not have the counter. Trust me chain fire tried with no success. He has been one of the pioneers in getting things done and could not.

TWEAKED 1.0 NOTE 3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Deleted member 5149701:
Can someone explain to me what Knox does and why it get's "tripped"?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kalm_Traveler:
I was referring to what I quoted you saying about blowing an e-fuse by removing Knox. I'm not talking about the check component in the bootloader or wherever it's stored - just the software components that are very easily removable, and do not seem to have caused any adverse effects (aside from the arguably undesired Knox 0x1 flag).

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

It's a component Samsung decided to build into their new phones and Android builds that is allegedly supposed to be helpful for device security, especially when used with a corporate mobile device system.

Currently, if you flash a phone that has Knox installed with non-factory ROM, Recovery software, etc an at-bootup counter is "permanently" tripped indicating that the device has been tampered with.

I put that word in quotes because we all know with enough time and resources someone will surely figure out a way to reset that counter, if not remove it altogether.

SHORT VERSION: it's a piece of garbage that Samsung and Tmo can use to not uphold your warranty (since it technically voids the entire warranty if you flash custom stuff).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Deleted member 5149701:
Guess I'll stay away from Samsung devices then. If I could get a Note 3 that has the camera features and S-Pen, I'd be happy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] megaearth77:
Interesting, i got a few question i want to ask. I root my t mobile note 3 recently using the new method that don't trip the knox counter. And i install several apps that require root access. I know if you install custom rom it will trigger the knox, but i won't on my and its still stock at 4.3. My Question is what about apps that require root access? I got ES file explorer, es task manager, game guardian, cachemate for root users free, cpu tuner, and titanium backup, does those trigger the knox? And is efuse short for eletronic fuse? if it is, can't you just replace it to undo the knox?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
Apps don't trigger the Knox flag, flashing a kernel roms etc do. Efuse is in the snapdragon processor.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
It voids Samsung warranty not TMOBILE. So ur good for 1 year

TWEAKED 1.0 NOTE 3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pete4k:
Yes, Knox is Samsung thing, T-mo has nothing to do with it and some people already suggested, T-mo doesn't even check Knox flag for replacements etc, at least so far. I asked here before if it's e-fuse and got different answers, so I ask again : are we sure it's e-fuse or we just speculating? The reason is, there was a guy in international forum claiming Samsung reset his Knox flag, which would be not possible with e-fuse. BTW I just updated my old GS3 to 4.3 and it added Knox to it, so I got mad and rooted it to just to delete this stupid Knox, so now how do I check that flag on it? It says custom because is rooted, but where is the Knox flag?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
You see the Knox setting when you put your phone in download mode.

As for resetting the Knox flag, I've not seen a confined resetting of it or better said, if it can be done, no one outside of Samsung has been able to do it and prove they have.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] negativefx:
So I've been searching around and have not found out the answer to these questions... I'm assuming the answer is "Yes" to the first but want to confirm:

If the KNOX flag is tripped, the KNOX software will no longer work. Ever (assuming we never get a 0x0 reset). Correct?

Now for the next question, assuming "No":

If I use the RDLV to root without tripping KNOX, will the KNOX software still work?

I ask because my company does have MDM and supports KNOX and I may want to use it in the future.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
Assuming all you have done is root the device, if it causes a problem you can always just remove root. Or use a root hiding method. If the Knox flag is not tripped, the kernel and bootloader have not been changed.

We use mas360 at work and it works with rooted devices but enforces a pin lock on the device. Knox was not an option as it is not even supported on other versions of the note 3 and other Samsung devices that have it on them (VZW for example Knox is not officially supported).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pete4k:
Well, if Samsung could do it, then it would suggest knox flag is not an e-fuse and if that's the case, then it just happens nobody figured it out yet. If it is e-fuse, then resetting it is impossible and the only hope would be to reprogram flag check routine to always show zero even if it's not.

My phone is rooted with Kingo and it shows custom but flags are zero, which kind of surprised me, I thought custom would trip Knox all by itself. Also, before I was showing SELinux custom, now it shows enforcing.

Now interestingly my old GS3 did not have Knox, got it only after I updated it to 4.3, then I rooted it and deleted Knox. So now it shows Custom binary downloads :3, status custom, warranty bit 1, but no mention of Knox. I wonder if warranty bit could be cleared by triangle away? must try that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
It has been said they did, but not how it was done, may have been by switching out the motherboard.

There had lots of speculation, but nothing proven.

Chainfire thinks it is an efuse. Triangle away will not reset it.

perhaps battery percent only can be added to the ROM? since every time I'm using mod.zip file, Clear-all button in Recent Apps will be gone. and before anyone said anything, YES I can use Xposed and GravityBox. but I just don't want to use them.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] toyes:
Ya, I am hoping to have the status bleached throughout the rom and then start looking into bleaching frameworks/settings. I have tried a few things but its tricky to get things to look right without having too much white.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] iSaoHatake:
You can have everything white, sure i'm one that will like it, we don't have amoled screens so black/white don't have a much difference for battery, to match the status/navbar shadows you need to change the App Drawer Background faded, from black to white right? You should get a better quick setting panel by turning it more transparent and changing the default gray icons, its not looking so great.

It's just some suggestions, when I had an galaxy S3 I made a ROM based on design, my university and job killed it but the essence was the same as your ROM. Difference, Beautifulness, User friendly, outstanding design.

Good luck with your ROM, I appreciate your work. ;)

GB27 modem and kernel w/ Agat recovery

Flashed with verizon phone info

Can send/recieve phone calls and texts

Using Straight Talk

Everything worked monday when I stopped using the phone until the replacement screen came in. I have tried reflashing ROMS, restoring backups flashing a stock rooted GB27 ROM. I am getting "Error #89: unknown error please try again later". I have tried googling that error but to not much avail. Hopefully I didn't fry any circuitry when i was putting things back together. I certainly hope this is somehow just a programming error as far as prl and profiles go.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Jordan

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acharne:
So I've been experimenting with turning my Note 3 into a mobile media and gaming device. The media part works well (other than a few hiccups with my hdmi connector from time to time). However, I am running into issues playing games with my keyboard.

The specific app I am having issues with is QIII4A, with Open Arena. I can bind my movement keys in the game settings just fine, and my mouse works well. The problem is that my movement keys do not work, at all, when bound to WASD (technically their Dvorak equivalent, but I don't believe that's the issue). When bound to the arrow keys I can move just fine. Crouch and jump also work, Ctrl and space respectively.

I believe it's an issue with my input, possibly not repeatedly sending a key press like it would on a Computer. I use External Keyboard Helper Pro as my input method when I have a keyboard attached. I've played with the settings that seem relevant (pause before key repeating set to none, also tried do not repeat as a test).

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could get this working? I could change my keyboard layout in EKH, but I'd rather avoid this if possible.

Additionally, is it possible to unbind or rebind mouse keys? Mouse 2 as back is rather annoying.

I'm running root stock mj5, if it matters.

Thanks!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acharne:
So I've done a bit more testing and it seems to be a problem with any games. Curious to know if there's a known workaround.

On further testing, I noticed that as I hold a movement key I do get some motion, just incredibly slow. Seems that it is sending a string of keypresses instead of one, long keypress. This is also why the jump and use keys work fine, as one short press is plenty. Crtl, alt, and the arrow keys or "gamepad up/down/left/right" as they're mapped work fine.

I did go ahead and create a new layout for gaming, so in the mean time that is probably a decent compromise. Just wish I could go all the way so I could type and game with the same layout. If anyone is interested I'd be happy to post a walkthrough on the key remapping process using external keyboard helper.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
Hey guys, i've got a problem and I need some advice/options.

Long story short, as some of you may know, I bought my T-Mobile branded Note 3 on Swappa in November. Of course, Swappa says that they check IMEIs and the seller assured me that the phone was fully paid for, but a few days ago my Note 3 was blocked/blacklisted (whatever you call it) by T-Mobile for non-payment of EIP.

I have tried to resolve the issue through communicating with the seller and Swappa, but there's really nothing to be done. The seller won't refund my money, Swappa is powerless, and Paypal says the transaction is past their 45 day dispute period. The phone isn't even unlocked, so I can't even try and use it on another carrier right now.

So at this point i'm trying to minimize my losses. I am open to any suggestions as to how I can either:

1. find a way to get the phone unlocked and use it on another carrier (I know that when a T-Mobile phone is blocked or blacklisted, they share that info now with AT&T, but i'm hoping I can use it on Simple Mobile or Straight Talk or Walmart's service)

or

2. sell the phone internationally (with full disclosure of the fact that the phone is blocked on T-Mobile/AT&T of course, but it shouldn't matter if someone wants to use it outside of the US, right?)

or

3. sell the phone as a 'dev' device (at a substantial loss i'm sure), but I have no idea how to do this or even whether a dev would want a phone that is blocked (don't they need to test network stuff?).

I'm trying to find a way to make the best of a bad situation. Any one who reads this post and wants to give me some decent advice is welcome. But if you just want to start trolling PLEASE JUST GO AWAY. I have enough problems as it is right now.

In any case, i've learned my lesson. No more Craigslist, no more Negri, no more Swappa. I'm just gonna pony up the money and get my phones directly from T-Mobile. The money I thought I was saving doesn't look like such a deal anymore.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Ah damn, yeah seems a lot of people have fallen into the same trap you have unfortunately.

Well you could try another network. . However the chances are high that it'll be blocked all over the US. - yes you could sell it internationally and disclose the issue but the frequency has a different range(?) - this would probably be your best option.

If not then you'd just have to take the hit on it, toss it away or use as a media device. And put it down to a very bad lesson learnt the hard way :-/
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
Appreciate the response, but now way I could toss $650 away. It took me a few months to save that up. That's why i'm trying to salvage whatever I can of this situation.

Perhaps there's a Canadian carrier uses the same frequencies as T-Mobile? Anyone know a site that would help me compare GSM bands/frequencies to see which countries would be the best option for reselling?
