android 5.0
did anyone tried to flash on 9005 4.3 over the 5.0 leackage?
did anyone tried to flash on 9005 4.3 over the 5.0 leackage?
I always run into Invalid IMEI/no signal problems when downgrading to 4.3 (JB) from 4.4.2 (KK). Tried everything in the book. Even KNOX resets with ease. The only thing which works is restoring EFS and MODEM/RADIO from my N900XXU**** backup. Of course I'm once more plagued with dropped signal strength and GPS issues ince I do that.

ANY USEFUL help would be much appreciated

I understand that this method works only on Note 3, but since you have an S4, would you try if knox can be reset using this bootloader on the S4.
Don't EVER flash another device's bootloader to a different phone. You'll end up with a hard brick.
will this work on kitkat N900DDENG1 baseband?(Knox had been triggered on the the tested device already), This has been tested & working on Note 3 N900/Exynos on KitKat ND1 firmware which was on official status without root but Knox triggered, The file was flashed using Odin and after flashing I went into download mode and to my surprise Knox was been reset from 0x1 to 0 but the device status had turned custom (was official before flashing the Knox reset), however I will re-flash the firmware and see if Knox remains 0 and device status turns to official, also there are some different stuff in download mode which I hadn't ever seen before like EMMC PIN, Binary Sboot Version and all. I'll be attaching the screenshots for the same kindly find in attachments.
Edit/Update 1 : After re-flashing the firmware stuff like EMMC PIN and Binary Sboot Version has disappeared Current Binary has turned to official and the Knox has remained to 0 however System Status still appears to be Custom...
Edit/Update 2 : (Refers to previous updates regarding System Status being Custom and not turning to Official.) After trying to flash the firmware several times nothing really worked (nothing to do with Knox and Current Binary only referred to System Status being Custom) hence I went to stock recovery and wiped Data/Factory Reset and Cache Partition and then re-flashed the firmware (ND1 KitKat) and VOILA! Binary/System Status are now Official and now Knox is 0, seems a great success for the Exynos users, I also do have an snapdragon version so will be looking forward to it, screenshots attached....
Edit/Update 3 : The steps for resetting Knox (Exynos Note 3 ONLY!) :
1 - Download the bootloader.zip and extract bootloader from it (find in attachments)
2 - Open Odin and put device in download mode.
3 - Select AP/PDA (depending on Odin version you have) and select the bootloader (which was downloaded during step 1) don't select any other option in odin except F reset time and auto reboot (are selected by default).
4 - After the file is flashed go to download mode and check if the Knox has turned back to 0.
5 - Flash official firmware from sammobile and after flashing is done let the device reboot and boot up to device set-up screen, don't proceed the set-up for setting up device and turn of it off.
6 - Reboot to stock recovery (power + vol up + home) and wipe data/cache and flash the firmware again, once flashing the firmware is completed enter download mode and check if current binary and system status has turned to official if not follow steps number 5 and 6 again.
And that's pretty much it, you have successfully been able to reset Knox and regain warranty by this.
PS : I had done all this steps on ND1 firmware, and this will not keep root access, to root Knox has to be tripped or keep Knox 0 but Current Binary or System Status will be custom wit Knox being 0. Also to note this might get (patched) in future updates (bootloaders) if we look at Samsung's history of patching stuff
This will not work on any variant other than Exynos (Note 3) due to different processors and the boot system of both Exynos and Snapdragon. (the bootloader for (Exynos) contains Sboot which is only for the Exynos variant which cannot be used on Snapdragon as it uses Aboot). So this is by no way meant to work on SD variant or any other Samsung device ie S5/S4/Note 2 etc. and hence requested NOT TO USE IT on any other model than Exynos Note 3.
Edit/Update 4 : Downgrading Note 3 N900/N9000/Exynos from 4.4.2 to 4,3 has been successful, check out this post by me to be updated on steps regarding the same.
I'll be testing some work around's for the N9005 (Snapdragon) to reset Knox/Firmware Downgrade once I get that device as I have given mine to a friend, and have been saving money to buy a new or used N9005.
I tried this and Knox has been reset and the current binary is official too. But the system status still shows >>CUSTOM<<. I flashed the firmware for 4 times and wiped data&cache every time! But still it stays custom! Is there anything I could do?(Knox had been triggered on the the tested device already), This has been tested & working on Note 3 N900/Exynos on KitKat ND1 firmware which was on official status without root but Knox triggered, The file was flashed using Odin and after flashing I went into download mode and to my surprise Knox was been reset from 0x1 to 0 but the device status had turned custom (was official before flashing the Knox reset), however I will re-flash the firmware and see if Knox remains 0 and device status turns to official, also there are some different stuff in download mode which I hadn't ever seen before like EMMC PIN, Binary Sboot Version and all.

System status will show modified if you have rooted or tampered with system files. Only way to go back to normal is to flash stock

Hey! Thanks for the reply. The system status showed custom on the download mode but after booting, it actually showed official under system status.

All, this is an actual developers section, not a Q&A nor a users thread. Unless you're involved in actual development, you're in the wrong place.
Hi Guys,
I flashed a custom rom on my new device SM-N900 using TWRP. When I wanted to revert to the stock firmware using ODIN I getting an error saying 'Power Reset or Unknown Upload Mode'.
The flashing of stock firmware is successful using ODIN but when rebooting I am getting the same error. I have tired doing everying I could searched XDA Note 3 forum, other sites as well but nothing worked.
I have even tired the below procedure to get mobile in to working condition but everything failed.

possibly stupid idea, possibly not...
this isn't the first knox reset thread ive read thru, other one was over 1000 posts! but one thing I haven't seen mentioned in ANY of the posts is if someone tried decompiling/resourcing the knox apps? after all they HAVE to check the knox flag to know whether to allow knox to run or not...
so surely there MUST be something in one of the apps that would point to where to check for the status of the knox bit???
if its a stupid idea please forgive me but it thought it might help.
