Brand new unlocked SM-G900T Knox 0x1 device status: custom

I bought this phone yesterday at 6pm and downloaded 3 or 4 apps from the Play Store. Today while reading threads here at xda about rooting the S5 I learned about knox so I checked the status and it was 0x1! Also under about phone it says "device status custom". I have made NO modifications, haven't even changed the wallpaper or ring tones yet.

Any help, ideas, suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone has direct knowledge of warranty related issues with an 0x1 device I would like to know what this means for future warranty claims.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread or if it has been answered elsewhere but I have searched all the terms I can think of and have found nothing directly related on this or anyother forum.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
when knox hits 0x1 your warranty is voided and it is (as of now) irreversible, completely. if you really have not done anything at all to cause your device to enter that state i would personally contact whoever i purchased the phone from, but others on here may tell you otherwise as they will possibly just void your warranty.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 13WetDog13:
voided warranty

Well I guess it does not matter, if it is already voided I may as well see if I can exchange it. I was wondering if maybe the phone being unlocked with no bloatware from T-mobile might have something to do with it. They could all come 0x1 as far as I know. Btw I checked and the phone is new not a refurbished device, if that matters.

Walmart family mobile. If they are all done that way will they still hold that against me for warranty repairs?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kjc99:
If they all have Knox tripped then shouldn't be a problem... Personally I wouldn't even mention it... Walmart should just exchange it with no hassle... Is there already an issue with your phone or your just worried if something happens to it?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 13WetDog13:
No current issue just concerned about issues that may arise. Well then, I guess I don't have to be concerned about tripping Knox if I root/customize the phone since it has already been done.

No, to use Flashify you need to be rooted allready and flashing a custom kernel or recovery trips KNOX anyway.

That app is not always conclusive, i tried it too and its says i have a refurbished phone, which cannot be true. I even checked with Samsung.

But hey, if you don`t have an issue then its allright mate, flash away as the KNOX flag is tripped allready so no worries about that.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 13WetDog13:
Understood, I am just as sure as you are that I do not have a refurbished phone, I have bought a couple of them and you can just tell when somebody else's grubby hands have been all over it. Btw the phone is not rooted. It was sold as unlocked, despite the "t" in the model number it does not have any T-mobile (or any other carrier) branded apps. Just the basic Android/Google/Samsung apps. I am curious if there are others that have had this issue with knox.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Oke, but KNOX doesn`t go to 0x1 on its own i guess, at some point it must have been rooted or custom software was flashed on to the phone.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kjc99:
I had the same issue along with my brother & mom we have 900T with 900M roms our carrier changed the boot animations which may have tripped the Knox counter but who knows guess there not tech savy... But anyway all devices brand new except for that I contacted and they will honor warranty for 1 year because they tripped all of them that were sold even the floor models and I've checked several stores

... GCI wireless Anchorage, AK... So I ended up rooting and flashing Omega....Was going to do it anyway though... Firmware that was put on the phone was made by Ulti-mobile.... 900m baseband with 900t bootloader/Modem

Won't turn off!

I have tried every search combination I can think of. Forgive me if I missed something. But has anyone else had an issue with their S5 not turning off? I was messing with boot animations, so it might have something to do with that. but basically, if i choose shutdown or restart my phone will display the Samsung animation and sometimes vibrate when that finishes. The blue LED will be on, and the back/application manger keys will be lit up, and the screen will be black after the animation. Then it will just sit there... I've left it sit for 10 mins+ But I always end up having to hold power+home+vol down to get it to start again.

Any idea why it wouldn't turn off? (Also have this weird issue of not being able to edit the boot animations. After renaming the stock animations they will still play!)

Update

I just got off the phone with Samsung tech support.

The kind gentleman informed me that unless my device shows signs of water damage, misuse, etc. That it is covered under warranty regardless of whether knox has been tripped to 0x1. I was informed that knox does not affect the warranty regardless of what it may say anywhere else.

I have not personally read any official Samsung document stating that a 0x1 code will void the warranty, I have only read posts on this and other forums stating that to be the case, I am not denying that it is there somewhere but Samsung apparently is not concerned with this issue.

Maybe some others could call and inquire just to make sure that it is a consistent policy and not an incompetent tech? I for one feel better about the whole situation. Finally I would like to thank all those who provided information, assistance, or opinions.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
Busybox will not set your Knox flag... unless you're flashing something, messing with your rom, kernel, or doing anything not with Samsung firmware via Odin, then you will likely not have to worry about tripping Knox. Installing a root app is, at least not any that I know of, going to trip knox, unless it is going to change your kernel or rom.

Upgrading

Sometime in the next few days I am upgrading from an S3 att to an S5 att. Also, switching from an 8gb sd to a 64gb sd.

I have a few questions. Is there an easy way to transfer all of my apps and data. I have titanium but just read that newer s5s cant be rooted :(

I would just prefer not having to do hours of setup. Reinstalling apps, changing settings, importing books and files into readers and finding the pages I left off on, loosing progress in games that dont backup online, etc.

If I take every file on my internal and external sd and copy them to the new card and new phone will it restore the data? or should I just start from scratch.

Is rooting ever going to be a possibility again? I prefer root access to get rid of bloatware and run apps that need permissions.

Would I be better off just getting an S4, even though its a considerable downgrade.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
There are several ways to do this.

One way is to use Google Backup via system Settings > Backup > Backup my data on the S3 and then Automatic restore on the S5.

Another option is to use Samsung Smart Switch Mobile app from Play store on both devices.

Wont load, then recoverybootloop

I hope this is the right place.

The problem started as a bootloop, i tried flashing stock rom but this did nothing still bootloop. I then repartioned with a pit , which turned out to be a wrong one for german stockrom. I then flashed with an uk pit and rom (stock) , because i couldnt find a germen s5 pit file. Now when it starts it stays on the first Screen (samsung galaxy s5 powered by android) for about 40 sec then auto restarts in recovery (same screen with the blue text recovery booting) stays on that for 10 sec then trys to to start again for a sec ( you can feeel the short vibration and on line of the screen flashes ) then it start in recovery again for 10 sec and so on.

Because of the pit file a voided warranty so no send in for me and i suspect some hardware isssue now .

Is they anything else i can try besides flashing with stock rom? Is there a custom rom i can flash with odin? All i have acces to is the download screen. thx

Usualy when you flash a rom you also data factory reset afterwards. Try flashing the rom again with Odin but uncheck Auto Reboot in Odin. After the flash pull the battery, wait about 20 seconds and boot into recovery and data factory reset and reboot.

Pull the battery, wait 20 seconds, reboot into recovery (volume up + menu + power) and you should be able to get in recovery and data factory reset. Or reflash the rom again and try recovery boot again. You can`t reset with Odin, only in recovery and in /settings/backup and restore
