[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] blackjack4it:
Hi there, I have bought Knox Reset Premium and I can confirm, basing on 2 months of trials, that this app doesn't work as it should.

It needs permissive mode on official rom, official recovery and (never explained well by support) stock kernel. But I NEVER achieved a permissive mode being on stock. Ask me anything, I can try anything you need about this app since if I counted right it is the 30th flash of my phone:

They

declare

that the app works if someone follows these prerequisites:

Busybox -KNOX- is installed in system/bin OK

SELINUX is set to permissive (Essential) ** NO! I achieved it only using a custom kernel, init.d method never worked on my side because there's no init.d support in stock kernel and Enforcing mode is hard coded in the kernel **

Bootloader & OEM is unlocked OK

STOCK Rom & Recovery is flashed OK

Odin Mode is accessible OK

KNOX Reset Premium is a system app (Essential) OK

KNOX Reset Premium is installed OK

Let me know, my warranty will end in about 2 months and even if I won't have my money back, maybe I can help xda's users to understand if it is a scam or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] blackjack4it:
I have tried, please read the post above this ;)

EDIT: in the meantime I've done a very risky way (never done before because I've never trusted that way)..flashing the "boot.img" that the program is telling me to flash if knox isn't resetting in recovery..well..no effect..only a scary

"Cannot do normal boot" in big red characters..fortunately, flashing the original boot.img restored my phone..but again..another negative point about Knox Reset Premium, because the "boot.img" that I've tried to flash is the one that the customer care sent to me as a last hope if classic method wasn't working.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Geonerd:
Its a Scam
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kshitij84:
Knox cannot be reset without a physical change of your motherboard if you have rooted your device . THERE IS NO OTHER WAY
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nitrous²:
My questions to the dev were not answered, unfortunately. AFAIK it's just a cosmetic changes. KNOX on most Samsung devices can't be reset. What knoxreset does is it tricks the bootloader screen to show KNOX 0x0. KNOX is still tripped and Samsung Pay still doesn't work. Samsung service software will still see that KNOX is tripped.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Manok98:
If I update the system from 6.0 to 7.0 officially, Knox counter will be resetted??

Did you read the other 4 pages? I'm guessing no..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] davsas01:
No
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] SILVERSHELL:
Yes. There is a way to reset it.

Got this working with my GS7 flat:

1-Back up your phone using Smart Switch on your PC

2-Reinitialize your phone using Smart Switch

3-Flash TWRP to your phone using Odin

4-Flash supersu.zip to your phone using TWRP

5-Flash a custom stock kernel that's compatible with your phone using TWRP

6-Now your Knox warranty is reset and you can use its benefits such as Secure Folder and My Knox

7-In case you want to root your phone again, it won't trip your Knox warranty
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mario@1:
Not true
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cosmic Blue:
It is a false indicator. Supersu show not rooted but if you use any other program to check root status or want to get OTA it will say the device is still rooted.

Nothing can restore knox the flag after rooting. As the flag is physical fuse instead of software related item.

magisk does the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kshitij84:
Once your Knox had tripped sure to writing the ONLY way you can get the counter to 0 is by changing the motherboard
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Yuna:
> is by changing the motherboard

That's quite interesting - do we know where KNOX is precisely on PCB? Can't we just re-solder new one?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kshitij84:
No the number is burnt into your phone so even if you do the phone will not register it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] rumaro:
Why so scared ? It would only be a problem if you want claim warranty. Till then, love the options you have coz it's rooted !.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] DWULTIMATE:
It does because I installed a custom Rom for s8 on s7 edge but now my Samsung Health says I'm rooted due to the knox trip and now I can't use it. Should have checked before doing it. Also gear is sketchy. Have a Gear Fit 2
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dave457:
I know this is an oldish thread but I would like to add my bit.

As far as untripping the Knox fuse, I know this to be impossible and we must consider this before rooting or installing a custom recovery. I know Samsung Pay will not function with a tripped Knox fuse but Android Pay will, so who cares?

More importantly, even though Knox is tripped it does not mean your warrant is necessarily void. Samsung may (and have in the past) still made warranty repairs with a tripped Knox. If you have a hardware fault, for example, the dreaded pink lines on the screen, then this can not be linked to tripping the Knox fuse and I have known Samsung to repair this under warranty even when Knox was tripped.

Obviously, if you return your phone to them with a warranty claim for a software issue then that could be a different matter but for unrelated hardware problems I've found Samsung to be pretty good in this respect, Knox 0,0 or Knox 0.1.

The same applies to Sony (and possibly many others) where DRM keys have been lost (when rooted) but they still sent me a brand new replacement phone because of a charging problem.

So it's not all doom and gloom. If you think you have a hardware problem let Samsung have a look at it and see what they say. Nothing to lose.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nlg_man3:
You cant reset knox

Knox is not a file.It's A HARDWARE.It's A FUSE.When the phone detects bootloader that is not from the factory, it sends high current through the part and makes it fry.That's why the phone is hot when you install custom stuff on it.Samsung service is just replacing that part when you go to store and resets everything.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BaconOFBurgerPS:
You can make it 0x0, but you need have fake knox.

You can get it from Magiks v12 :)

More info on google "fake knox magiks v12" :D
[Pixel C General] beardymcgee:
For those in custom recovery land just flash the system and vendor img to upgrade

now in May flavor!

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#instructions
[Pixel C General] redukt:
Well it should be great IF our TWRP could mount vendor / system correctly ;)

Only boot / recovery partitions are selectable for .img files :/

Edit: I´ve flashed the files via ADB - all went fine :)
[Pixel C General] parakleet:
The value of this posting would increase exponentially if you took it upon yourself to share what and how you flashed the files with ADB.
[Pixel C General] redukt:
Sorry for my ignorance ;)

Extract the ryu-m5c14j-factory-b714e9bd.tgz with i.e. 7-zip. In image-ryu-m5c14j.zip you find both files system.img and vendor.img.

So... I´ll hope you have some practices using ADB / fastboot. Put both files in your ADB / fastboot folder. Activate USB debugging on your device and restart it in fastboot mode. Connect your device with your USB-C cable.

Go into your ADB / fastboot folder and press shift / rightclick your mouse at twice and open the command prompt.

Bye typing "fastboot devices" or "adb devices" you can check if your device is correctly connect with your PC.

If you´re connected type "fastboot flash system system.img" and wait for end of process. After that type "fastboot flash vendor vendor.img". Now you can reboot your device by typing "fastboot reboot"

Those are my oldschool steps without losing data or settings.
[Pixel C General] houtx2:
No chance of losing root either, is that correct?
[Pixel C General] redukt:
Well I assume that you have TWRP? Reboot into recovery and flash supersu again. That´s all :) If not you can sideload it via ADB.

In my case I have reflash supersu & xposed framework in TWRP ;)
[Pixel C General] houtx2:
Yes, I will need to reflash both, too (I have TWRP).

Thanks!
[Pixel C General] redukt:
Than you´re device is rooted again. With this method you lose no data or wipe anything (ok.... some cache *g)

And... we have a thanks button in XDA ;) So you don´t have to thank mate :)
[Pixel C General] parental92:
Change log ? Or its just a security update
[Pixel C General] rambobo:
Hello there,

so I am in a little conundrum here.

I flashed the system.img and vendor.img following the instructions, but the pixel was just stuck at the plain Google logo.

After giving it something like 30 minutes, I had to power it off.

I am using TWRP and dragon-boot-encryptable-rooted-MXB48T-02102016-1.img stock kernel.

Another boot went without success.

my next thought was to downgrade to MXC14G but trying to do so resulted in:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash system system.img
target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
erasing 'system'...
FAILED (remote: unsupported command)
finished. total time: 0.004s

So far TWRP is working and I can operate within it.

Any ideas what went wrong? Should I format system and vendor in TWRP? I don't think this is a good idea... (Last time I tried to do so in this experimental version of TWRP I had to fight a long fight to revive it, because the formatting tool in TWRP was stuck. But that's another story.) Any way to flash the system.img and vendor.img from within TWRP?

Any help would be much appreciated, m8s.
[Pixel C General] rambobo:
After playing around in TWRP and using the fix fastboot option I am finally able to flash system and vendor in fastboot.

I don't know if the fix fastboot was really the solution, maybe just some sort of placebo, but nevertheless I am able to flash. Problem with the bootloop remains:

Google logo, reboot recovery.

My data partition is alright. What do I need to flash to get it going?

Going in circles here... :eek:
[Pixel C General] houtx2:
Just asking, did you verify your download to make sure not corrupted?
[Pixel C General] rambobo:
Yes, it is verified. I am using all kinds of ways to restore the pixel.

I am positive: fastboot won't write or format partitions unless it is fixed by twrp.

I am trying out to flash the newest factory image with the skipsoft android toolkit. I could have done it manually, but spent already too much of my free Saturday on flashing. I'll report back if and what works out.

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

:/ After 'successful' flashing of the stock firmware, now there is the laying android with the red exclamation sign... help...

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

I redownloaded the official factory image grom google servers.

Then I followed the instruction, means i started the flash-all.bat.

The Tablet boot into the android on the back with the red exclamation mark symbol.

The flashing process went without warnings.

Is it bricked now? Do I have to relock the bootloader to boot it?
[Pixel C General] redukt:
Pleas try to reinstall right drivers, change the cable / USB ports. I think your main problem is your system configuration. Good luck :)
[Pixel C General] rambobo:
m8... so glad I wasn't too tired to listen to your tip. Awesome! Redid all the steps on my freshly installed laptop, and voila!

Seems either my main PCs USB-connection is flunky or I am damned to reinstall my Windows soon. Scary...

I used the following software to revive the Pixel:

official Google USB Drivers

You have to unzip the file and right-click and install it

then you have to go to your device manager in windows and after connecting the tablet with the PC and getting into fastboot

Find the Android device on the top, select to change driver and go straight to manual selection of the driver, select android and bootloader driver

unpack the official Factory Image with 7Zip until you get to the folder with the flash-all.bat

get the minimal adb fastboot and unpack it in the same folder as the flash-all file

wait until you see the sweet booting animation

I think I didn't forget anything important. My Pixel is alive and ready for prime time.

Big thanks redukt, may the warp speed not pass you!
[Pixel C General] redukt:
Enjoy your device :)

Next time simply hit the thanks button ;)
[Pixel C General] hugehead83:
Following redukt's instructions, I got the same error that rambobo saw. I rebooted into TWRP and executed the "Fix fastboot" option, then rebooted back to the bootloader. System & Vendor image flashing via ADB worked fine :)

I am now running M5C14J without loss of data, root, or recovery.

The OTA update reminder disappeared on it's own after 5-10 minutes.

Thanks yall!
[Pixel C General] dmnhnterz:
You didn't have to apply root again via ADB or TWRP?
[Pixel C General] redukt:
Mates, the may-factory-image is available. Same procedure as ever :)

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#instructions

Happy flashing :)
[Pixel C General] hugehead83:
Correct :)

But judging from others' experiences here, YMMV. I tried the latest FlashFire build too, but that got me nowhere.
[Pixel C General] En Kee:
Flashed MXC89F via Flashfire (only system and vendor). Still rooted. Everything is fine.
[Pixel C General] hugehead83:
Thanks for the heads-up! Since it was fresh in my mind, I ADB'd the system & vendor images this evening. Now running MXC89F before I was even nagged to install it. :highfive:
[Pixel C General] dmnhnterz:
Thanks for the response anyhow. I'm on Xceed kernel March build so I wasn't sure I should go ahead with redukt's steps.
[Pixel C General] nigelhealy:
Ditto just using fastboot commands.

Note anything which writes into /system, like xposed framework, adaway, will need to be reinstalled / setup.

Basically yes, Odin on your phone! I've updated to latest firmware via it last night. Just download the latest firmware, extract and save the AP file to phone. Then go to FlashFire and chose Firmware Package, hey presto!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] riso123:
Interesting! Did it do a wipe or anything? Would I need to reinstall Viper and xposed after flashing the latest firmware using this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] belloni:
So you have all options required to do what you need within the all such as wipe etc. If flashing any firmware, yes you'll have to reflash xposed. The great thing about the app is that you can put it in a queue to do it all at once so wipe, flash new firmware, flash xposed, done.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] KevQuoi:
Thanks for the link, much appreciated.

On a related note I have an EE EVR build, could I switch to BTU or would that create issues for my device? I ask because the BTU firmware is more up to date than the EE.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Jomari29:
I updated my firmware from Australia Optus network branded(OPS) to Germany non branded(BTU), I experienced zero problems, (EXCEPT the hassle and ass to re-install and relogin everything), then Australia UNBRANDED firmware came out with APD1, I reflashed once again from Germany unbranded(BTU) to Australia unbranded (XSA), No problems, (except the hassle again, having rooted device with Xposed makes the hassle twice thrice as much annoying, but worth it after all is installed and relogged with the latest firmware and update goodies) you wont have branded bloatware aswell.

TLDR: No problems in changing region firmware, also no problem with changing from branded to unbranded firmware, unless you're waiting for Samsung PAY (might be delayed for some region)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dbaman:
Be patiente not yet
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] KevQuoi:
BTU worked fine with one caveat. It seems the apps I transferred to SD card appear to be be loading, so all is see is a grey icon with an SD logo in it. Any ideas please?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Jomari29:
That usually happens when you do that. I just painstakingly reinstall apps. I've encountered small problems from times if I don't clean install.
