P600: A small observation and a couple of questions (Knox 0x1, TriangleAway, etc.)

Andmoreagain · Jan 20, 2014

I've noticed that there's been some discussion about the new knox bootloader in regards to rooting our device. Now, when I boot my I9505 into download mode I get this wall of text in the upper left corner telling me "knox warranty void 0x1 blah blah" and likewise when I boot into recovery captain obvious knox pops up in the corner reminding me that I'm running a custom recovery.

Now that I have rooted my tablet and flashed TWRP via Odin I have yet to see a single sign of that infamous knox flag. Download mode - nothing, recovery boot - nothing... nothing except my settings telling me my device status is custom, and even that can be spoofed via Wanam Xposed.

Am I missing something or is the knox bootloader simply not present in my firmware version? (XXUBMJ6 NEE/nordic countries)

Also, has anyone had success using TriangleAway on the P600 to reset the flash counter? Not that I currently need it, just curious..

hi. I want to know how you flashed TWRP for P600 as i cant find the file anywhere on the internet.

. I rooted it using a stock recovery. I froze the knoxx apps as they were interfering with my root and giving notifications on a security threat. Please any help with TWRP i cant find it.

Here, download the .tar file 2.6.3.3 & flash via odin

There is a big discussion about this in a german forum is use:
http://www.pocketpc.ch/samsung-gala...278-anleitung-root-fuer-note-10-1-2014-a.html

It's weird that the p600 does not have the same download mode display as the p605. It says nothing about knox on the p600 download mode. So the guys on the other forum are confident that triangle away should work to reset the counter on p600 because it's not a knox flag. But as far as I know Triangle Away does not support the note 10.1 2014 yet. So I guess we have to wait and see

Strange, strange... because first I got this. See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2538464
But now the text in the left corner is missing. Maybe because I use the wanam tweck? This means that there is - maybe - no hardware flag

PS. Also when I open the system update in the settings, I didn't get any longer a warning that the update is blocked?! I got it in the beginning...

Thanks for the reply and the link.

A "warranty void etc." message has popped up in download mode as of now but you're right, it says nothing about knox whatsoever, and the strange part is is that it didn't appear until I actually flashed a mod via recovery and wiped cache/dalvik. Before that there was no message in the corner, even though I had already flashed cf-root and TWRP via Odin.

Same here. Even though there were no updates available at the time I last checked I got no warning message.

Maybe the P600 just has less security implementations than the other versions for whatever reason...

''Knox warranty void 0x1'' is the KNOX FLAG. It means that you cannot use the secure Knox container, and you will not get OTA update. Of course you can download and install new software updates.

No warranty too, though, sadly...

Yes, but it does not say anything about "KNOX" or "0x1" when I enter Download Mode. I should also correct what I said in my previous post. It doesn't say "Warranty Void" but rather "Warranty Bit: 1".

ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-P600
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
WARRANTY BIT: 1

This is identical to how it used to be on the old 4.2.2 non-knox bootloaders and it's NOT the Knox flag. It's the binary counter.

I have SM-P605. I think Knox bootloader is present from 4.3 onward. If SM-P600 has Knox app in the apps drawer and Knox security apps under Application manager then it's likely to have a Knox bootloader Tripping the Knox flag means the Knox container can never be accessed or used again but the phone/tablet itself is OK for regular use. I have not come across a phone/tablet with Knox apps and non-Knox bootloader.

Knox has been mentioned in this SM-P600 thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2618509

Whether a Knox bootloader is present in the P600 or not, then at least the flag is not visible in download mode or during boot. Either way I'm satisfied as long as I don't have to be reminded every day that my tablet is running an unofficial kernel and recovery.

So who turns their tablet off? Mine runs 24/7...
