[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androodius:
As I said it's hit and miss. Read through what Chainfire has to say about the different ways to make it work in play. It mostly fools your device in to thinking it is custom so you can receive updates. As with almost all of his risqué apps it hasn't been tested on the Note 4. I've had it work in my note 4 and I've had it do nothing. It was working before the 5.1+ updates when Chainfire was still making root for locked boot loaders by replacing the bootloader with the stock bootloader. Now I'm not sure. Chainfire is a genius. It is almost scary the things he accomplishes. If you want to see some sick ****e do what I said and make your phone think it's in the Netherlands. From there you access the developers actual accounts from Google + etc... Instead of mobile Odin it is Flashfire. I don't pretend to understand all that it does but it goes to the core of your phone and gets everything. The stuff is accessible just hard to find. I think this guy can probably fix his phone with out sending it in. I thought my phone was toast but I just had to wait for the 5.1.1 update. As Chainfire explained in his Flashfire app you can not step backwards with a bootloader. The device will only accept an newer version.

Depending on where you live the insurance is becoming a rip off. You can replace a Note 4 for less than the $200 deductible now that the S6 and Note 5 have been released. If he stopped paying in January he has all ready saved almost $120 and for the other $200 the deductible would be he is ahead.

Sorry I replied in the wrong window earlier.

What do you mean by a glitch? The problem is in the hardware? Have you tried putting it back to official with the 5.1.1 update. I was having some big problems with my phone too. I thought I was going to have to replace it but odin and the official Samsung ROM fixed it.

I could be wrong on the Knox counter being reset depending on what it is. I thought it was that screen that pops up when you start your phone or between the boot loader and the rom. If you mean by Knox counter what is sent to Samsung via the security log agent then of course it can't be reset. Well anything is theoretically possible but hacking in to Samsung would not be an easy thing.
