It's still kind of a grey area whether this is true for European countries, the decision is left to the service center and they can and will deny warranty if KNOX is 0x1.

It may still vary based on each country, I asked around and the service center was clear that they wouldn't accept a phone with a tripped KNOX counter.

Using this logic then, there are no less than 4 updates on the xbox 360 that have "blown" an efuse to prevent revoked (exploited) loaders from being able to be booted on the console through a revocation fusebit, have Microsoft also damaged hardware? :)

Also in general that would say updating your device in a way that cannot be downgraded is damaging your hardware, this has occurred over several devices several times over the years. Most devices don't let you downgrade bootloaders through use of a version check, and in some cases the older kernels won't boot on the new bootloader. Have those devices also damaged the hardware? sure no efuse has been blown in those cases, but your argument was that because it isn't reversible it is damaging the hardware.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] p4j1:
You don't understand what I'm saying, by tripping the flag i.e. by rooting you are risking the consequences. Why should Samsung keep KNOX active on your device if you decide to go ahead and exploit your phone to endless possibilites by rooting?

It's actually a good idea that they managed to implement voiding warranty by rooting into the whole KNOX system.

End of the day, people shouldn't be complaining about what is disabled and whatnot if you are willing to root your phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] s1m4an:
Think of it this way, you're buying a new car, say a porsche and you choose it based on the spec sheet.

Just as you take the keys the manufacturer says to you, oh we've added a second lpg tank which will save you money while driving. Sure it takes up space, lowers the car's top speed and engine power, but you don't have to use it. And you can't remove it.

Now say you decide to change the rims on your car, it will lower it, mess with the manufacturer's specs and overall statics of the car, spend more gas and it will look like you want it to.

After some time say the electronics for the windows gives up, just won't work anymore.

Should the service center deny your warranty?

Oh and one more thing, no one asked for KNOX to be there in the first place. You keep twisting KNOX as a system to stop you from gaining root, while that's clearly NOT what it's not supposed to be.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lilstevie:
Flawed analogy. Apps installed from factory are in system, if you don't open and install the knox system it uses no RAM, ergo in your analogy it is more like a massless container in the engine compartment, that effects the cars top speed and engines output power at a factor of 0, unless you decide to install the system at which point a second part is installed in the boot that takes up space.

In many jurisdictions this is exactly the case when it comes to a new car warranty. So again a flawed analogy.

Yes, your tinkering could have messed up the voltage that is sent to the electronics for the window, they have no way of being able to tell if your tinkering around caused the problem, should it be their problem to also wear the cost of faults caused by unauthorised modifications?

That is a very bold claim, there are many companies whom requested such a feature, and disallowed BYOD based on the lack of this. Samsung did not implement Knox on a whim.

Also Knox is not a system to stop you getting root, how hard is it to root a samsung device exactly? flash a custom boot.img with chainfire autoroot and it is done. The policy of preventing the use of knox on rooting is because the security of the knox container is no longer assured when they do not control all binaries with root permissions.

It just happens to be a side effect of this that they now have a method of detecting when software has been tampered with, which I might add has always been against their warranty policy. The difference is now when it is detected they can flag it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] s1m4an:
The analogy was meant to show that it adds something that adds clunk to the device and no one asked for it in the first place. Sure I see that it's not running now on 4.4.2 but before it was taking up around 200Mb ram and it wasn't even installed.

Wasn't aware that changing your rims falls under any jurisdiction, but the idea was to show that it has nothing to do with the engine block (or the electronics) yet the manufacturer has the carte blanche to read it which ever it fits their benefit.

And we're going back to my original issue with KNOX, actually no one asked for it to be pre-installed on an end-user device. Samsung is jamming KNOX down your throat, and hoping some company will see it end enforce it's usage, yet no one has done so.

If I wanted to buy a device that has all those security "features" I would have looked for one that specifically has them, on an mass produced device doesn't make much sense, and the happy coincidence that it acts as a way for them to void your warranty is what is most annoying.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lilstevie:
It falls under many due to the fact that mismatched rims and tire profile (ie: no longer maintaining overall wheel diameter) will cause the speedometer to be inaccurate, and in some cases that will screw with ECM calibration of the speed limiting device. One needs to be careful that their analogies don't show the exact reason why these kinds of things exist ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lilstevie:
Missed this on first read. It isn't a happy coincidence, you always voided your warranty, that is ABSOLUTELY EVERY TIME YOU HAVE ROOTED A PREVIOUS DEVICE YOU HAVE VOIDED THE TERMS OF WARRANTY. I thought I would spell that out because this is a point you seemed to be missing, it was always a voiding of your warranty, it is just previously, by RMA'ing a device that had been rooted was warranty fraud that they couldn't catch. Now it is different.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] s1m4an:
Ok, I'll give you that (I actually meant to get new wheels), I tried to simplify my point, which basically is that Samsung forced KNOX on the end users, and no one asked for it.

Also, I am aware that ROOTING VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY, according to (most) manufacturers. However EU legislative simply denies that. Just the fact that you modified or changed the software of your device, is not a sufficient reason to void your statutory warranty. As long as you have bought the device as a consumer in the European Union.

http://piana.eu/root

Here's my example, I bought a brand new Note 3, paid it in full and I own the device. After about a month the camera stopped focusing. With most normal sellers in such a short period of time it would be enough just to bring the phone and get a replacement, no questions asked. Where I'm at, even if the device is faulty right after you sign the papers (no matter if you are on a contract or not) you cannot get a replacement, the device must go to a service center.

I had a chat with the service center people, and they claimed that they are prepared to order and swap out everything, except the phone frame if it falls under warranty, just that there's no way you're getting a new device. Even though the law says differently, but they even openly said you can try your luck in court.

There is a difference between a software fault and a hardware defect, and those two shouldn't be mixed.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] m6ceb:
I am very new to Android and rooting and to a certain extent, Samsung.

I have come from Apple iPhone, I have had many and been using them for years, I got pee'd of with them becaouse they are very expensive and you can't customize them very much, I then decided to try Android.

I went with the Note 3 and was very (am) very pleased with it, I was customizing it within minuites! I then found out that you can do a proper backup of your phone without root access, I also found the bloatware annoying so looked at rooting it.

I rooted a week ago and its been the best thing I have done regarding phones, I love the way I have been able to install a new X note ROM and change the font etc...

I am now worrying about if my phone breaks and I would have no warrenty, I totally understand that Samsung want to protect themselfs against people who burn out the CPU etc.. I just wish there was a way for them to see that you have not done anything "silly" with your phone, I mainly wanted to make a full backup of my phone (like you can do on auto with Apple).

now I have a rooted phone it is a great feeling having a phone that I can do what I like with, I am not going to be "silly" with it, I always research as best I can before doing anything to it, I just wish Samsung would honour warrenty when its not the fault of the user.

I am just going to hope and prey that nothing happens to my phone and I will be "lucky" :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tech_head:
Up until now Samsung has stated rooting "may" void your warranty.

I don't want to go into a long diatribe, but rooting is no more likely to damage hardware that gaining root on any other Linux box or installing Linux on a machine you bought to run Windows. You are playing with software and unless your are blowing and efuse it is difficult to permanently damage the hardware in a computer just by changing software. Above all a cellphone is a computer with a modem/radio.

People will now say what about overclocking??? Well, what about it. The overclocked computer may crash and eventually you might have electro-migration problems. By that time you would be out of warranty anyway.It has nothing to do with anything but control. KNOX and locked bootloaders allow Samsung and the carrier to control your device.

KNOX is something that the majority of people don't need even with BYOD. Even if a company wants to use KNOX, they need to go out and contract for server side software from a mobile device management company. Few companies do that. I know of amny corporation that allow BYOD for email. Exchange requires certain policies and on Android, you can run Touchdown with isolates and encrypts the data from Exchange.

I rattle of a list of Fortune 500 companies that allow BYOD and don't have any special requirements because they only allow email. They also don't have any special requirements for PC's that are far more likely to corrupt the network and allow malware.

KNOX was developed so that Samsung could sell into the secure device market. General Dynamics needed something more modern than the Sectera Edge phone that they were selling. Both Samsung and General Dynamics/NSA can sign the bootloader. The KNOX implementation uses SHA256 hash for signing. This is about Samsung being the preferred vendor of hardware to General Dynamics. If you think it's anything else you are mistaken.

http://defensesystems.com/articles/2013/02/27/general-dynamics-protected-samsung-mobile-devices.aspx

There are tons of press releases and articles.

There is nothing but corporate greed and arrogance that prevents Samsung from having a Secure version of the device and a "non-secure" consumer version. That doesn't have KNOX.

People that bought phones prior to KNOX did not signup for KNOX. It was imposed without consent. There was nothing that said before taking the OTA that said "We are going to lock your phone with SHA256 hashcodes so you can't modify your own device."

So those that are defending Samsung on this, get a life.

Hi guys, stupid as I am, i tried to root my HTC one, and failed. Somehow I could not install the root and everything just got messed up. I posted it in the sprint HTC one section, although mine is bought in Norway.

Alright, my problem is that there has not been released a RUU for my version, I belive. And then I have no idea how to do it. I would highly appreciate any help I can get. I have no idea how often I'll be checking in on this forum, but you can contact me on skype if you're willing to help ! :)

although I'll be following this thread, so any responses would be read.

Skype: Swatchi10

Thanks ! :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
You better post this in the M7 thread. I don't know how much you messed up, maybe the ruu is not necessary, but as a last resource, taking for granted that your phone is a GSM model you can get s-off than change your CID and flash an unlocked or developer edition ruu.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] stark1159:
Tell me your version you have and what method you used to root. You can hangout me at stark1159@gmail.com
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Swatchi10:
Well, Can you somehow help me ? I'm new to this. When i was going to root it, everything worked, I used the TWRP "root" or whatever, and when I was going to install the root, the touch function didn't work in the "settings" of TWRP.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
Than I have an idea of what might have happened. Your TWRP version was outdated, and if you were on 4.3 or 4.4 your touch won't wotk in recovery. Now you just need to find the latest version and flash it
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Swatchi10:
Hmm, Still new to this. Do you have skype, or can I talk to you directly somewhere that you can guide me through it ? I would really appreciate it !
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
We can talk here. It's a pretty simple procedure. Copy this file to your ADB folder(the one you used to unlock your bootloader) http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img

Make sure fastboot is unchecked in power options and turn phone completely off

Boot into bootloader than Fastboot

From fastboot.

Than open command prompt in this folder and type:

"fastboot erase cache"

From fastboot. Use command "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img"

Is there any way to remove, or lighten, the lines on the today screen? They look ugly with a background picture on!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jpiek:
Know what you mean.... Allmost every theme i like seems to have the lines in a contrasting color.

I edit almost every theme i download, but never get full rid of the lines.

Really, what whe need imho is a GOOD/GREAT themecreator that overcomes some 'faults' in the standars one(s ?)...

- No lines between items

- Keep xx lines/pixes free on top/bottom

- Vertical Item Alignment ! (more space between items)

- Marges on leftside/rightside (looks alot better than broke

n sentences at the and of the screen ;)

- Option to make Full Screen Themes ( i keep getting a grey bar at the bottom when using ToggleNew.exe )

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
theoretically, 00 00 00 FF or 00 00 00 00, depending on the alpha being 0.0 .. 1.0 or 1.0 .. 0.0. But no, it won't work.

All the other things you mentioned are also far beyond the scope of a theme. Themes merely allow you to change colors and background pictures in Windows Mobile - anything beyond that is the place of skinning applications, including applications that completely take over the Today screen. I think you're looking for the latter - there's several of those, where you can still use original Today Screen items/plugins within them as well.. just have a browse around

I did not find a answer here and found differing opinions in the web, so i write this.

Well, on Galaxy S2 plus, Usb OTG definitely works! :good:

I'm on 4.1.2 stock no rooted.

After I found a working adapter, I was able to make a keyboard (wow, many surprises like alt-tab that opens recent tasks and ctrl-alt-canc that reboots the phone), a mouse, a card reader (that did not work on another phone) a pendrive and even a external hard disk (not able to read files because of filesystem). NTFS looks like not supported (perhaps could with root and proper kernel module).

Well, that is.

I just switched our family over from Verizon a couple days ago. I got a Note 3 because I had one on Verizon and it works flawlessly. The GPS was wonky and took forever to lock, and after troubleshooting I exchanged it. The replacement is even worse. Loses signal for no reason etc etc. Is this a common thing? My Verizon one was flawless and T-Mobile seems gun shy to replace it a second time.
