[Galaxy S 5 General] loonieryan:
Does this work on the G900W8 (Canadian variant)?
[Galaxy S 5 General] It_ler:
Philz-touch recovery will also work for the Canadian S5 ... same for the Samsung Tool app.

But IDK about the S5rootkit.zip.

As it should only install superuser app and busybox to the system, it will probably also work for the different variants of the S5.

[Galaxy S 5 General] phransys:
will this work on the samsung s5 dual sim (G9009D) china variant?
[Galaxy S 5 General] It_ler:
I read that this CWM recovery works on the China variant of the S5.

As I don't have this device and it's not listed in the officially suported devices in the first post, be cautious and backup everything important before flashing.

Once on CWM recovery, you can flash the S5rootkit.zip to install superuser app to your system.

BTW for the Samsung Too app you also need busybox, which can be installed afterwards via Play store.

[Galaxy S 5 General] Mohannad-K:
Thank by can I use Samsung keis for update ? And do I meet to root and flash recovery again?
[Galaxy S 5 General] babygau:
yes, kies is for stock rom, when you reflash, you will lose root so yes, you will need to root your device again in order to install custom recovery. if you use mobile odin, you don't need to root when flashing firmware as it will automatically do it for you.

[Galaxy S 5 General] It_ler:
Check the usually stuff, such as:

- different USB cable

- different USB port on the PC

- kill all Kies processes on PC (in Task Manager)

- different PC

- re-download the file you want to flash and check its md5 sum

- different version of Odin

And re-check the model/versionof the S5 you have ... should be a SM-G900F.

Flash only files (i.e. CF-Auto-Root) for your exact model.
[Galaxy S 5 General] jerrry:
Thank you for reply. I'v tried 2 different USB cables and two PCs - changing USB ports as well (firewall is off). I don't have Kies installed on the PC. Tried Odin 1.85, 3.07 and 3.09 - same results for all versions.

In bootloader (after unsucessfull flash) I see this:

[Galaxy S 5 General] It_ler:
Please post a screenshot of the Odin log here.

Maybe we can see any hint to the cause there.

EDIT:

Your reactivation lock is "on"?!

Strange ... mine is "off". Can you change this?

If you flash a custom recovery, you have additional options (e.g. create a complete system backup) in recovery mode, and you can flash other custom modifications/kernels/ROMs.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knaider:
Hello everyone, newbie here.

I rooted my Note 3 a while back and tripped my Knox counter to 0x1. I have a lot of files I had stored in Knox and currently unable to access the Knox app at all.

Is there anyway I could recover or backup these files in a way?

I previously emailed samsung and they responded with a definitive NO.

Please help!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f_u_006:
Knox is disabled when you modify or root your device!

Titanium backup your knox, reset or flash new firmware then root again and restore knox.

Or... Google it for millions of solutions....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlatifolia:
Crap, seriously that is a disaster.

Knox is an encrypted container, everything inside it is encrypted with special private key set up first time you use Knox. The security warranty of Knox is that every attempt to modify/tamper the phone even if they are successful SHOULD NOT be able to read what inside Knox, thus those attempts will result in deletion of such private key and also mark it Knox 0x1.

Private key will be generated new if Knox can be re-establish, for that u need to contact Samsung Center, even with new private key NO ONE will ever be able to recover the old data (thus new key for new data).

The premise is that no one on earth should be able to do recover corrupted Knox otherwise Knox will never get that certificate to be used on Enterprise business in US.

Losing that private key is the same as complete wipe out of your data, in other words it is there in encrypted bits but it is no longer readable by anyone on earth.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knaider:
Are you positive this would work? I have tried to google but haven't found ONE single article about this.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Knox security container is disabled FOREVER once you root your device...

As you can gain root access then you can also, theoretically, gain access to the knox container. You still have Knox floating around like a bad smell telling you that apps are trying to access root directory and stopping this from happening but it is now a useless app...

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
Yes. it is stated (assuming OP using CF-autoroot, because he never wrote which method he used to root his device).

From CF-Autoroot OP :

"The KNOX warranty status change is permanent, and a service center may deny warranty based on this flag - even if the other flags are reset correctly. The KNOX flag being tripped may also prevent certain Samsung KNOX features from working (enterprise security features). If this is something you care about, use a root method not based on custom kernels or recoveries, like a modified system partition. These are possible, but I don't personally make them, so look around!"
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehmetalidemir:
I have same problem too after root. So if i unroot, can i make Knox working again? I have ~10GB personal data in it. I have to recover them.

There should be a way...

P.S : Knox app still installed. Still has a shortcut on notification bar. When i access it flashes up and returning back. I upgraded from Knox v1 to v2, one or two week ago. Old knox app still exits in app manager and appdrawer. But cant access old one alrady. AppMonster backed up install files. Tried to install again. It was succesful. But still same...

And containers still in appmanager...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehmetalidemir:
It's about flash counter i guess...

https://www.samsungknox.com/en/blog...ox-enabled-devices-and-knox-warranty-void-bit

Can i reset that counter? On download mode knox warranty count is 1. If i do that maybe it'll wotk again. I never loose my hope ^_^
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spere:
On Snapdragon devices there is no way to reset knox counter, at least yet, but propably will never be. About Exynos I can't say since I don't own any.

When Knox Warranty Void is 0x1, you can't use Knox or recover data thats been there EVER.

Knox works just like it should in this case. You people should read, read, and read much more before you do anything with your devices, at least if you really don't know what you are doing.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehmetalidemir:
It's all about modified system. I thought if i reset that counter without wipe, i can use it again... I did. Resetted counter. But still same. Followed that guide. System now untouched. All Knox data has gone... Nothing to do. I won't use it anymore... Thanks guys.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felixfound:
If you performed a KNOX backup from WITHIN the KNOX container, then you can restore that to another KNOX-compatible phone that DOES NOT have the KNOX counter at 0x1. This is the ONLY way to get KNOX data back.

The filename for a KNOX backup will be called KnoxBackup_KNOX.zip and will be stored on the phone or external storage - do a search for the filename.

That is it...end of story.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shikhar.smc:
Hello everyone,

I have been searching for the same thing since last 2-3 days but couldnot find a reliable guide as nothing was working for me. So, i just took a trial and VIOLA!!!! its done.

There are various guides for manual extraction of such files which utilizes a dozen of softwares like 7Zip, WinRAR, MagicISO etc etc but frankly speaking none of them worked for me.

So, I thought to make a simple guide for the needy like me (with screenshots).

GUIDE STARTS HERE:

Things you need:

1. A rooted Android device.

2. sgs2toext4 (a java based applet). Download here.

3. Linux disk reader. Can be downloaded here.

STEPS:

1. Download and extract your stock ROM. They are available on various servers like www.sammobile.com etc.

2. You will get two files as shown below:

We only need the one having .tar.md5 extension.

3. Now, remove the .md5 from the extension of the file so that only .tar will remain.

4. Copy this file to your rooted Android device.

5. Download RootExplorer in your device and run it. Explore your sdcard in it.

6. Open it and locate your copied ROM file.

7. Open the ROM file. It will have various files but we need only two files. system.img and boot.img.

8. Long press on the file and select extract. The file will be extracted to sdcard/SpeedSoftware/Extracted/[HERE]

9. Copy these files back to your PC.

10. Start sgs2toext4.jar utility. It will open a window named Drop .img. Drag and drop your system.img on the utility.

11. You will get a new file named system.ext4.img. This is the converted file.

12. Now, download, install and run Linux Disk Reader. Select 'Mount Image' from left pane and browse for system.ext4.img. Make sure you have Raw Disk Images selected as in image below.

13. You will see a new drive created in the reader named Linux ext volume.

14. Open the drive and you will see all the system files. Select all and select Save.

15. Select a folder for saving (Preferably name it as 'system').

16. Now, you have an extracted ROM. Modify, customize and publish it.

ENJOY!!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oracle01642:
Thanks for the tutorial, but it doesn't work. When I try to extract the system image file with root explorer, it seems to freeze and doesn't extract anything.

It extracts the boot image, but when you try to open it and view the files with linux reader, it says 'can't open disk: C:users\downloads\boot.img

Check the disk and try again'. Any idea what is going wrong?

I am trying to extract the files from a stock Samsung 4.4.2 ROM, if that helps. Cheers.
