When we flash items which werent signed by Samsung, it flags your device as KNOX Void Warranty 0x. According to Chainfire, KNOX status is indeed an e. Fuse. This means that even JTAG can not reset the KNOX status back to 0x. Some facts about KNOX status It isnt possible to downgrade to KNOX disabled firmwaresbootloaders An attempt sets 0x. By downgrading from KNOX enabled to KNOX disabled firmware, your devices will be locked to installation of newer firmwares. Lets focus on that fact. As we mentioned above, Devices like S4, S3 and Note II which came without KNOX will get the KNOX system. For example, S4 I9. KNOX enabled systemMH1. If you try to downgrade to KNOX disabled systemMGA for example your device will be flaged as KNOX Void Warranty 0x. KNOX enabled firmware even by ODIN. Samsungs 4. KNOX enabled, so if you tried to downgrade to KNOX disabled firmwarefor example MH8 MGA, you wont be able to install 4. This problem is only for devices which didnt come with KNOX enabled system from the factoryS4, S3 and Note 2Jeffery Butler confirmed this information FYISamsung told me that Knox warranty becomes 0x. MH1 is the very first binary with secured bootloader. If MH1 is attempted to be downgraded to lower versioni. MGD which has non secured bootloader, then Knox warranty becomes void forever, and this means that the device can be used only for non Knox deviceno container can be created. If you try to downgrade to KNOX disabled firmware, you cant install any new firmawarethat includes KNOX enabled system and use your device only with the old firmwares. Even if you flash a KNOX enabled firmware via odin e. Flashing unsigned or modified images via odin will set knox to 0x. According to these two, flashing rootkernelrecoverylatest firmware by samsungetc. KNOX status to 0x. Samsung stated, resetting the flag is impossible. Chainfire confirmed that it is impossible to reset the flag. KNOX is mandatory and can not be completely removed. In custom roms we can remove KNOX apps, but the status remains 0x. Warranty Void is not a counter, it is a flag 0,1. We have never seen 0x. Mirroring all partitions from a clean 0x. Device to a 0x. 1 Device via JTAG produces an unfunctional device reversible by restoring the 0x. Using JTAG or other repair tools to reset the flag is impossible. KNOX bootloader verifies signatures of kernels and recoveries. No custom ones possible without voiding the knox warranty. Again, if we flash kernelrecoveryetc. This si how 0x. 1 looks like This is how 0x. I guess you are asking yourself now, what the hell 0x. If your device is flageed as 0x. Chainfire and other people confirmed that your cant use your warranty Worse than that, Ive also been hearing that service center instructions are indeed that devices with this status tripped will not receive any warranty repairs. Of course, the action they take may still depend on the service center. Their excuse is that the hardware is damaged by the owner. Seems Samsung is catching up in scumbaggery to HTC, who years ago attributed my HTC Diamonds screen damage digitizer detached to the installation of HSPL To anyone in the know it is obvious that this doesnt really fly, and the e. Fuse blowing is this the hardware damage is intentionally done by the bootloader when unsigned software is loaded. If you want to read the whole Chainfires statement, click here. Fifa 13 Windows Phone 8 there. What is e. FUSE its a technology that allows reprogramming a read only memory chip in real time, even though such chips come with hard coded code that cannot be generally changed after manufacturing. When flashing unofficial software on the device, the status of the system and KNOX is switched to CUSTOM while increasing a binary flash counter, which helps Samsung find out whether the device has been tampered with. However, while Chainfires Triangle. Away app has let users switch the status back to official and reset the flash counter until now, the KNOX status is based on e. FUSE basically, once you flash custom kernels or root the Note 3, the KNOX code gets rewritten, and this constitutes hardware damage. Well, all I can say is think twice before you play with your Samsung device. If you dont care about warranty, and you like custom roms and cool stuff just be aware of this information and continue with what you are doing. XDA Thread Chainfire Posts via 3.
