Galaxy S5 Knox Reset (New Hope)

[Slicktune]

It seems like there is a cure and its not impossible.. Does this mean that all that crap that people said about a physical eFuse blowing up was debunked... Meaning we have hope!!! ?????


BTW sorry i forgot to mention.. It's for the galaxy note 3..?

here's the link to the original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486346

Thanks in advance

I downloaded the tar and checked it's contents.

It's for the Exynos Note 3. Both files are only for that variant. (N900)

No one should try to cross-flash them in another device, it will most likely brick your phone.

I thought the exynos version doesn't have the fuse to trip Knox when rooting

It´s sounds great. I think it's only a matter of time until this is available for the S5. Suppose Knox is an e Fuse, Samsung will not have the time to dismantle all devices to see if the fuse is really defective, or the Knox counter was emulated.

I own myself an I9505 without Knox counter, but have never had a reason to have to return my phone. Now, I also own a G900F with Knox 0x1 (after flash) and I think if this phone was built just as good as my i9505, then the counter can be no matter to me. Consider, I have my S4 certainly flashed to 100 times.

My phones are sacred to me.

Sorry for my "english".

That would be great. I will buy the S5 too. I need root, but don't want to lose my warranty.

So that would be great if there is also such a tool for the S5

So that's my question, is there really a physical fuse in there that blows when you trip the knox counter? I'm confused ?...

Thanks in advance!

No one can really say for sure, but from what I gather for Qualcomm it's an efuse (HW), for Exynos it's not entirely clear.

The reset that was leaked is for Exynos variant - but it's a bootloader only for the N900 (Note 3 Exynos) - it cannot be used in other devices, no matter if they are Exynos-based as well.

Wow, i was so close to rooting just now.. But after you said that... I dont think i can root yet... Idk.. J wanna rokt so bad, but im really scared to blow my efuse.. And nkt be able to recover even when they release a fix/reset... But from what i read they said that even if it's blown, the point of the reset is to make the software read 0x0 making the Samsung ppl think it's in its original state...untouched..(but really the efjse is blown) are you rooted and do you care for Warrenty?

Thanks in advance

Yes!

Anytime I have had to have my phone replaced due to a damaged charging port, broken screen ETC my carrier always ships me a new one first and then I send the broken one back. I've never ever had any issues with rooted phones any my insurance (unless you are talking about the samsung manufacturer warranty specifically?)

My carrier is T-Mobile too and I've had to get mine replaced a handful of times and I've never had any issues. Like I said, cracked screens, bad charger ports, and one time a bad radio - they "tested" the phone in the store and determined it was defective and ordered me a new one for next day delivery. None of these times have I had an issue so I doubt it matters..and really I cant imagine why it would matter for hardware issues?

Maybe Samsung is more strict with it but I would assume the phones get reflashed and refurbished to like new anyways so I doubt it matters..I think you made the right choice

When u send it back tho did u have to pay something for the cracked screen (im asumming thats insurance..and not warrenty) and warrenty is usually physical... which one did u use?? ?

Thanks in advance!!

The cracked screens I had to pay a deductible for since that would be hard to argue it was a defect lol but the charger port and bad radios was replaced for free without any hassle at all.

Wowzers... so bad charger ports and radios were thru free warrenty? And only the cracked screen was thru insurance (with deductable) correct?☺

That is correct! I am slightly surprised the charging port issue got replaced for free as that is very easy to break as a end-user (I honestly don't know if I damaged the port or if it was just bad) but I don't see how the radio could be anything that someone could cause damage to themselves?
