A little help!

Hello,

I was in the same spot as you for my Note 3. The SD Card reader died and I had tripped the Knox Counter. I sent the phone to Samsung for repair, but unfortunately was denied for some ridiculous reason. Samsung said that the phone is beyond economical repair and denied to fix the SD Card reader. I was wondering if you could help me out and maybe provide some documentation about Samsung honoring your phone and fixing it. Perhaps a Ticket No. if you still have it. I am very confused as to why the knox counter effects the warranty status for a hardware failure. But regardless, any help from you will be greatly appreciated.

Cross my finger and wait Samsung reply. It's been 2 days since my device stay with Samsung Service. SIM Reader is broken while it's knox tripped.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] razielpr:
The knox counter is not an efuse it can be reset by Samsung they just want people to believe its an efuse I work at a Samsung service center and I have seen the tec gurus reset it all devices that come in for the first time with knox tripped they will give warranty but not the second time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mike102871:
Can you tell us how to reset it.?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] razielpr:
No I can't its not department I only fix bricked a cracked LCD Phones but I have to check the counter of every phone that comes in and if its tripped I pass it to the technical area and they reset it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mike102871:
So. Wouldnt you be able to find out how?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] razielpr:
If I do I won't tell its my job on the line but they use an adb like program and send some comands with keys and it resets its what I have seen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
Carrier warranty is why I buy my phones directly from T-Mobile. Not third-party, not eBay (even if new), just straight from them. $0 down and 0% interest makes it a no-brainer, even if the total is a little higher than elsewhere. The "as long as it has no physical damage, turns on, and water indicator is not tripped" warranty policy is completely worth it.

They replaced my Knox 0x1 Note 3 last month because dust accumulated inside the proximity sensor, making the phone think it was always covered. I flashed it back to stock, paid the $20 service fee, and had a brand new phone 3 days later. I will never send a Knox 0x1 phone to Samsung, since they'll just deny repair (plus my prior warranty repair experiences with Samsung with multiple LCD monitors have been horrid - they sent me back unfixed units three times, claiming they couldn't reproduce the problem). F Samsung!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
Yep to the following last sentence.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] NghtWachman:
I have a question or maybe an observation

just out of curiosity, why are people bricking their phones and expect samsung or t-mobile to fix or do something about it, thought the whole point of xda is to gain complete control of the device, why would you expect a company that is determined in keeping control by adding a new mechanisim to their device (efuse/knox) be reasonable in providing support.

There is a reason why their is a disclaimer on every Rom Kernel to prevent people from doing just what the op and others are doing.

As a developer and tester this irks me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DsturbD:
So I dropped mine 2 days ago and it cracked the screen and the digitizer is going bad. I've tripped knox as well but from what I'm reading as long as i use my Jump insurance, pay the $175 deductible, I should be OK. They will send me a new phone and I'll ship the broken one back. Should have no worries right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] FFTony:
Yes. Insurance and warranty are two completely different things. Insurance does not care how your phone broke but the fact that it is broken. There is no disclaimer in the policy staying that if warranty is voided or if the device is rooted the policy is also voided. That being said check the terms of your policy, most insurance only allow you to have so many claims per year.

Just went in to a tmobile store to exchange my note 3 for a new one, they actually saw that Knox was tripped, didn't care and put in the order for my new one. Got it last week

They don't care at all lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LormaD:
Denied Warranty... :(

Received an OTA upgrade from my Carrier for my N900W to the KitKat. Took the update (I had rooted my phone on stock firmware) and after the update, kept getting TouchWiz Error (the Standard TouchWiz app doesn't work anymore from reboot). Hard Reset phone, same problem. Reflashed from ODIN, same thing after reboot. I cannot downgrade the firmware, and didn't like using other Google Play interfaces.

So, I called my carrier who suggested I send the phone in. The service center (it says Samsung on the Building, but is an authorized service center licensed by Samsung to repair in warranty phones) told me it would be 5 - 7 working days before getting my phone back, OR, for $35.00 they could offer me 2-3 hours turnaround warranty repair. What a scam I thought, and said "No, I will wait."

3 days later Samsung Service Center called me back and denied me warranty claiming the phone had either a custom Rom or had been rooted. The girl at the counter was not clear or aware of the tech's service notes. Anyhoot, $37.75 later (had to pay the diagnostic fee, since warranty was denied and told some b.s. that Samsung wouldn't pay them for the diagnostic evaluation) I decided to pay the fee in order to get my phone back. I Was offered a replacement board repair for $375, of which I denied of course.

Called back 1-800 Samsung to complain about the shoddy service, and they said to call back when I receive the phone back and that they would transfer me over to a special department within Samsung that can log into my phone remotely to show or prove to me whether or not the phone is under warranty or not for tampering.

Give me an F'in break Samsung. I had the phone carrier unlocked. I had rooted the phone, and the phone was working perfectly on Android 4.1.2 Took your KitKat update, and have had problems due to YOUR firmware. Now, my phone is supposedly out of Warranty? Give me a Break Samsung.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mike102871:
Jusg the reason I take the warranty/ insurance from the carrier these days. Easy no hassle swap
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] FFTony:
Why don't you just flash a custom ROM to help fix the issue?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] janjannsen99:
I just jumped with knox tripped. Trust me the retail people dont check and dont even know how most of the time. They just dont care.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deBricker:
Or maybe, you should have thought about manually doing the upgrade through ODIN itself rather than taking the OTA... That's just me. OTAs are known to be dangerous if you're rooted. No offense but you should've known better than to take an OTA while rooted.

Things like this are why carriers and phone makers are locking their bootloaders. Also. BTW, rooting does void you're warranty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] El_Nino9:
Just for the record, Rooting DOESN'T void warranty in the UK despite what rubbish samsung say.

Yes you'll have to write a few letters and it's a long process, but they have to prove how a hardware fault has occured due to me having root.

I understand the user in this situation is in the U.S. so fair play, i don't know your laws.

I'd also like to say that i agree that some users do mess up their devices, but as i have paid my hard earned cash on a device to own it, surely i should be able to use it the way i want to? Hence i believe the choice should be there for an unlocked boot loader. What they should really do is prevent overclocking of certain components over a certain threshold and have a reset to factory utility for firmware encase you do have boot loops. it's not difficult. i mean look at your computers OS...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LormaD:
I simply reflashed

I got my phone back...

The Samsung report said, and I quote "Symptom Code: C66" Who knows what that means.

I received the phone back the same way I sent it in (I left it in a virgin reboot state after a flash) and after powering on, I receive the Touch Wiz Error.

I wiped and erased everything on the phone. I downloaded the correct Baseband Version for my phone, but this time chose a NON Carrier identified baseband, rather than the carrier based baseband version. Worked perfectly. No more touchwiz error. Perhaps they (Samsung) didn't appreciate that I had the phone unlocked (the phone came from one carrier, but was unlocked and used on my present carrier), perhaps they simply look for 0x1 Knox.

Who knows, but one thing is sure, customer satisfaction supplied by the Service Center that Samsung chose to represent them will go along way with giving customers like me, that Anti Apple feeling. I hated Apple for that "Know it All" mindset, and Apple Genius Arrogance. Samsung, you copycatted even Apple Arrogance. I wonder if Apple will file in court for stealing that too LMAO.

Cheers,

LormaD

KNOX tripped

There are apps that would emulate some of its features, but nothing that will do the same job in terms of the level of security that it offers.

For instance you can PIN protect access to an app, but it won’t then keep the data separate. Which features in particular are you looking for?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] people211:
I'm pretty sure it was the same device because the water sticker by the battery was peeled a little before I sent it in. It was the same when I got it back. I no longer have the note 3..

Edit.. meant to quote someone else.. this app is testy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lorettaa:
They are reporting some weird symptom code that they don't even explain what was that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aussie7:
thanks for the info, I thought when knox was tripped it is permanent requiring a replacement part to untrip knox :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jhill110:
Seems those telling folks this efuse thing is permanent are incorrect. We just need to figure out who to bribe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hillg001:
Reading the knox bounty thread - apparently someone DID leak the 'how-to' as far as the exynos variant goes. It's the snapdragon processor/knox reset that has yet to be achieved.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SBouri:
Has anyone had this???

My MDA Vario restarts on it self on a regular basis...then it asks for my password n den pin....

is this due to the fact that its been dropped twice??

or is it because i play mp3s on a regular basis?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] stegz:
Are you overclocking it? I was getting that as well but I reduced the speed to 240MHz from 264MHz and it hasn't happened since.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SBouri:
nope
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DREAMBOXER:
Could also be the ROM Version you are using. I had constant reboots ( 3-5 times a day ) with the original T-Mobile ROM - now that I am using the QTEK 2.18 all is fine - no more reboots.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SBouri:
hmmm im using the original t mobile rom.....i seriously didnt want to blank my rom and flash a new version :( cos i aint done it before
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JoninLA:
Well known issue with the TMO Ship ROM I'm afraid. I'm stuck with it (and the reboots) as I need BB Connect but if you don't need BB then I'd recommend the latest QTEK, it's excellent and stable
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SBouri:
JoninLA, thanks for that info mate, but whats BB?

also can you direct me to the latest rom, and a few simple instructions...

if the process is long then i wont do it. ive got a ton of coursework to get done...so messing about with fone makes me life a bit more stressful
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JoninLA:
BB (Blackberry).

Latest QTEK ROM is at ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Qtek/ and I was using the 186504-ruu_9100_2170702_21707102_20710_qtek_wwe_ship.exe which was very stable
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sl8125:
Guys... I have the same problem with resets. However, this only happens when i have the bluetooth on. Anyone heard of any glitch with the bluetooth patch?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JoninLA:
Well I haven't tried having the bluetooth off so you may be right - kind of sucks to say you can't use the SD in all the time or you have to turn the bluetooth off. Basically, this is an issue with the AKU1 and never had any problems with the AKU2 QTEK ROM so if anyone in this post chain doesn't need Blackberry connect I'd just recommend upgrading to a decent ROM
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] andrewilley:
We're wondering if this problem, along with the MDA Vario ROM, might be SD-card related? See thread at http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=33537

Andre
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SBouri:
andrewilley, hi mate....now that you mention it...restarts only kicked off when i got my 1GB mini sd!! never happend before :shock:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] andrewilley:
What's on your SD card at the moment, is there anything that would prevent you from doing what I'm doing and taking it out for a few days for testing purposes?

It would also be worthwhile downloading B_Uptime, a neat little utility that logs all reboots so you'll know how long your device has been running and when any unexpected reboots have occured. See the thread at: http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=45168

Andre
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] andrewilley:
Well that's a full week with not a single unexpected reboot. When I had the SD card in place I was getting several reboots a day. I've got to put the card back in now as I need TomTom, so I guess the reboots will come back and really prove the point if there's any doubt left.

Has anyone else tried this test to see if their reboots go away without an SD card in place?

Hopefully it'll be fully cured with a newer ROM, anyway. I'm waiting to see what the new T-Mobile UK one is like before venturing into that area though.

a bit of googling and i found it seems the problem is quite common-

http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=235270&st=0

i noticed, today the rebooting has been really frequent and its the first time in ages i actually got sined into msn messenger-(albeit for 15 minutes before "unexpected error":roll: ) just wondering if maybe the 2 things are connected in any way?

also havent activesynced for a couple of days

seems theres a new tmob uk rom out very soon-hope tis fixes this very annoying problem
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SBouri:
dmonik, Good find mate, I noticed that mine restarts when ive put a large film on the Mini SD Card
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Tezcatlipoca:
I've tried the Activesync fake server trick from that thread, seems to help in some ways. But, I've found that if you cold boot or soft-reset, then the AS schedule returns to how it was before the change, so you have to do it again.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dmonik:
your luckyyou get that far, i only have to transfer 2mb and the vario and the pc both crash, the vario needs a reset and the pc wont shut down due to "connections tray" not closing :x

Mine hasn't reset itself today, i havent tried to run msn though-my theory about msn and the restarts maybe true, especially after reading the thread about tmobile wanting to block all IM+skype services

I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 with android-tools adb and fastboot. Everything works fine on my moto x

Although in fairness all I've used fastboot for is to unlock my bootloader, flash TWRP and flash a couple different boot logo's to get rid of the crappy unlocked message.

[Moto X Q&A] acruxksa:
It's in the dropbox link a few posts up.

I downloaded it, changed the name to mfastboot moved it to my /usr/bin folder chmod 755'd it and everything is good.

Used it to flash back to stock 4.4 prior to taking the 4.4.2 update and didn't get any errrors when I flashed the system.img so it seems to work fine.

I guess I could have left the name as fastboot and just replaced my existing fastboot file but I prefer to keep the two separate.

Hello, as we all undoubtedly know, the W has a very small RAM, so we really must be frugal with it.

No doubt many of you are also familiar with Swype, but perhaps are reluctant to install it due to its size. And perhaps you are also unsatisfied with SwiftKey's much-hyped "flow through space" feature.

If so, then perhaps you would be interested with a less well-known keyboard called "Multiling Keyboard". It's kind of similar to Swype, but it's much lighter. And it has some features that neither Swype nor SwiftKey have.
