If I flash clockworkmod with odin will I trigger the Knox Warranty Void flag? I have root with VROOT method and I still have 0x0.
Is there any method to put clockworkmod without trigger this flag?
yes.
Hi,
I'm a new S4 (i337M) owner, I had a S2 but it broke.
I saw a couples of warning about the Knox BS from Samsung and I want to be sure that I understand everything.
My Android Version is 4.3 MK6 . In the download mode, I have the knox 0x0 . If I install the CWM Recovery, is it possible to keep the 0x0 or it will trip to 0x1 ? My phone is rooted but I want to do a nandroid backup before playing with mods and roms and I think that it's not possible without a custom recovery.
If I trip knox to 0x1, I know that I will not be able to use the knox option (and I don't give a sh_t about Knox) but if it's possible to do a nandroid without tripping the 0x0, it will be nice
Thanks guys !
Yes, if you flash CWM, your Knox will trip to 0x1, and your warranty will be void.
No, you cannot do a Nandroid without a custom recovery, which means you will trip your Knox counter.
Yes, you CAN root your MK6 without tripping Knox, it just will not give you custom recovery options.

First of all, big thanks for your fast reply !
My S4 is rooted ( I did it an hour after I had the phone ) , so if I have a Knox 0x1 and if I don't care about the know feature and about the phone's warranty, do I will be able to flash customs roms and original roms ?
I have the same problem!!!

I have an AT&T S4 that has a tripped Knox counter(0x1). I have no problems gaining root access. I have used Odin 3.10, Heimdall, Casual, and Loki to try to obtain a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP, but none of these worked. I'm starting to think that if the Knox counter is tripped, the container for Samsung's Knox software is locked forever and you can never flash a custom recovery. Someone PLEASE tell me I'm wrong and there is a way to flash custom recovery with a 0x1 counter tripped.

On the SGH-I337, any bootloader more recent than the original MDB or MDL are locked in such a way that you can not load a custom kernel or a custom recovery. You are limited to root, safestrap, and Samsung Touchwiz based firmware. As far as I know, it has nothing to do with knox.
Incidentally, the original MDB and MDL bootloaders were locked as well, but LOKI exploited a flaw in the bootloader code which allowed custom kernel and custom recovery to be installed. This flaw was removed starting with the MK2 and newer bootloaders.
If you have a KNOX bootloader you can have a custom ROM or not?
I know that it will trip the KNOX flag but can you still use a custom ROM.
Thanks
yeah. the only difference is that it voids your warranty even if you unroot.
Yes you can have a custom ROM.

Were would be the best place to start?
I have a knox bootloader which is probly already tripped.
I attempted to flash clockworkmod and got greeted with a Samsung unauthorized software and it wouldn't work.
My phone is fine right now with a stock recovery so what custom recovery do you use or how do you get around this?
I'm use to nexus devices.
Edit: I used CF Auto Root and now i have a 0x1 warranty status. Now it appears clockworkmod is working.
Thanks for your help
Anyone tried a custom recovery (or rom) after rooting with towelroot without tripping knox?
We should have an unlocked bootloader, will it make some differences?
Custom recovery/kernel will trip knox even with towelroot.
Confirmed here. G900W8. Tripped KNOX with TWRP.
I'm using their latest firmware and update. Is it possible to root? I just want to change the resolution of the screen -- everything is so damn huge.
Install a launcher. Also reduce text size.

An easy way to root would be to install TWRP and flash supersu from TWRP. This will also trip the knox counter and change it from 0x0 to 0x1. This is not an issue unless you still have warranty on the phone.
I also recommend updating to the latest doh1 ROM before installing TWRP.

So you have successfully flashed N900W8VLU2DOH1 firmware and rooted it with the latest, which is for 5.0, cf-auto-root from chainfire.eu?
Nope, I used supersu.zip which was from from TWRP.
