[WARNING] Be aware! The new XXUEMK4 Comes with Knox Void Warranty!!

tamirda · Nov 17, 2013

Attention friends!

My friend @paulove have just flashed the new XXUEMK4 from here:
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/11/17...-3-test-firmware-for-galaxy-note-ii-gt-n7100/

His bootloader was updated to MK4 but with a little "gift" from samsung:
Knox Void Warranty 0
When he tried to flash recovery and it changed to Knox Void Warranty 1

Please everyone, read this to understand everything you need about Knox Void Warranty 1/0:

http://omegadroid.co/wanted-knox-void-warranty-0x1/

DO NOT FLASH THE NEW BOOTLOADER - Unless you know what you are doing!

MJ5 Bootloader is safe to downgrade and the wifi works on this bootloader.

XXUEMK4 Bootloader is not safe!!

My friend says that he can not downgrade, because after he tried he got "Kies Emergency Mode" and his odin failed.
After he installed MK4 back everything worked again.

DO NOT TRY TO DOWNGRADE IF YOU HAVE THE NEW BOOTLOADER!

Tamir.

Yeah I have seen that too so tried with wifi patched and worked fine.. So still wifi patch will wifi patch should work but I will try to look to this bootloader when time permits. But still I doubt this new bootloader may have blacklisted old bootloader and it may make irreversible changes. Also if downgrade remain successful, further upgrade may cause issue.

to fix odin fail, we have to back to 4.1.2.

sam5154 · Nov 17, 2013

first, good thing that there is 2 stable leaks without this flag.I guess we should all stick to MJ5 for a while.
But now i'm thinking what should my nest device be? I loved Samsung devices, because they are so easy to root,flash roms and still you can save the warranty.Now my blacklist contains, HTC, Sony, Motorola and Samsung.Do Asus and LG lock their bootloader too?

And there is some bad news from Google itself. seems they came up with methods to help OEM for preventing unlocking bootloader in 4.4 KitKat.

Could you explain? Could I downgrade BL if I flash a 4.1.2 rom rom PhilZ and then stock from Odin?

You dont? I had always just assumed a 12 month warranty until I read something that made me check the leaflet. Check yours.

Is there a way I can downgrade this bootloader?

rraaka · Nov 18, 2013

the way they took time to slowly yet steadily introduce the Note 2 forums to the full force of the Knox poison you would believe how much control they already have over these forums.

it can only be LOVE, true love ;p

YOSEFE · Nov 18, 2013

May their conscience trouble them over this; if they have one, that is.

My note ii is owned by me, bought it and not on contract. Flag is now 1. Still runs fine, and I don't need knox stuff on the phone.
