Unless its very different from the GS4 with Knox. There are ways to root without tripping Knox. But once you install a custom recovery to begin modding and flashing that will trip Knox. And as of yet there is no possible way to reset the counter as most say it is an e-fuse.
So you're saying there is a possible safe root? And that stinks that the flag will be permanently tripped. That sounds like something our good friends over at Apple would do.
Hi There CNexus,
Flash the odexed one.Hi There CNexus,
Regarding your answer to ndno quoted above,
Can you suggest which one of the freeza's MD4-Roms collection you suggest to use? Sadly, I have trouble to choose which one to donwload
I have the same problem as ndno, and I think about flashing 4.1.2 to my knoxed SGS3.
As I need to do something with the carrier used in my country, and it's only possible to be done in 4.1.2.
Your help very much appreciated.
Now that you have tripped it you can flash any ROM you want. The only thing you can't do is downgrade your firmware. For example: if you Odin MD4 you will brick your device.
...apple won't let us flash anything PERIOD... all Samsung does is void the warranty which f.y.i if you don't want to void your warranty you probably shouldn't be rooting period.
Exactly. My sister wanted to downgrade from iOS 7 but couldn't. I could finally brag about how much more open android is.
Technically u can always unbrick with the sdcard trick so its not a hide deal but knox sucksNow that you have tripped it you can flash any ROM you want. The only thing you can't do is downgrade your firmware. For example: if you Odin MD4 you will brick your device.
When you brick it by downgrading the firmware, the phone won't even turn on.
totally agree with this statement. it's always talked about like it screws up your phone, or it's detrimental to being able to do custom stuff with your phone.Knox has not effected me whatsoever... But that's just me.
Im dumb as a boot and I can agree with you I havent had any issues with knoxKnox has not effected me whatsoever... But that's just me.
Hey do you believe sprint techs at the warranty center had to check my phone for a battery replacement ?... lol.. well they didnt see my warranty bit apparently because I walked out of the store with a new batteryI even made a warranty claim with the warranty bit at 1

That's like saying I'm not gonna open this door because there might be a ghost behind it... Have you seen anybody say this happened? The only people that bricked flashed the ND8 modem on the MD4 Bootloader.I'm hesitant to go to any kit Kat builds for the fear of my phone messing up right after and then having to take it to best buy for a replacement

Actually, from what I've read and from my own experience, flashing the ND8 modem on the MD4 bootloader is OK. Flashing it on MK3 resulted in bricked phones. That said, it's just as well that Cnexus removed the ND8 modem because many people don't seem to be aware of what bootloader they have. But I have noticed an improvement since flashing it.That's like saying I'm not gonna open this door because there might be a ghost behind it... Have you seen anybody say this happened?

Actually I think you've got that a little mixed up, the only people that bricked flashed the nd8 modem on the mk3 bootloader... I've not seen one instance where someone on the md4 bootloader bricked flashing the modem... I even ran it for about 4 days on the md4 bootloader before upgrading the nd8That's like saying I'm not gonna open this door because there might be a ghost behind it...
