Hi guys I have a thought and i wan to share it with you maybe is a stupid one
The knox after all is a system app with specific job to do now if we make a backup from the original app before show 0x1 and after restored this app in device with stock firmware and root access with 0x1 counter wat gonna happen?

I think this knox thing is in the bootloader. Maybe someone could manage to edit that specific part.

@op Maybe you can go back to the same guy and ask him nicely what he did to reset it. If he was nice enough to reset it for free then he probably will be nice enough to let you know and oh in case it's a windows tool, take a flash drive with you just in case he is extremely friendly.

That would make him the nicest person on earth :laugh:

I agree
We could also make some donations to OP after we check that the software works.

i can actually go to a service center tomorrow (or at least) a retailer that might not have a clue at all, but again i wouldn't doubt that it's reversible since yeah if they're failing on Kies and you need to reflash the rom again you'll get Knox 0x1 and this isn't okay so i wouldn't be surprised if theres a tool to revert back to 0x0

samsung uses tools for everything :silly:

I think in the near future we will have a some-kind of tool for this Knox impediment!

Samsung KNOX uses systematic security checks to ensure that only valid kernels are used. First, in the hardware, the Primary Boot Loader verifies the integrity of the Secondary Boot Loader 1, by authenticating its signature using a PKI certificate. Similarly, the Secondary Boot Loader 1 verifies the integrity of the Secondary Boot Loader 2, and the Secondary Boot Loader 2 verifies the integrity of the Android Boot Loader. The Android Boot Loader loads only a Samsung-authorized kernel, which has a Samsung certificate as its Root-of-Trust

is that mean Konx in the boot loader

 

[My1xT]

I dont know but i don't think that knix is in the loader, coz if you flash a new one the knox flag would be replaced with a new value, but it isn't...

dont thinik so.. its not sure all the bootloaders change when you flash a new firmware, and you cant flash witch bootloader you want, cuz there are 2 others that autorize the bl to see if its "okay" to flash. in somone of the hard-protected bl´s the are a sneaky knox thingy....

 

[kakyyabata]

i think we have two boot loader in our devices the first boot loader can replace when we flash with the new rom and the other one still in device to check the stock kernel and the other stock stuff and this cannot be change its need to remove or replace so when we flash any rom or SCS or anything not stock the second boot loader make knox 0x1

edit
the second boot loader i think its working all the time and it take full boot with device to check everything - Firmware,kernel,modem and first boot loader

 

[Ather]

We could check the first update of S4 that brought knox with it and study it maybe?

 

[zroice]

good news!

My theory:

Odin works in conjunction with knox - have you noticed the messages about bootloader check or smth in odin or on the device (dont remember where ive seen it) after flashing with odin?

It might me that odin actually sets the bit and with older or special odin version this is not executed and thus not setting the bit inside the bootloader? idk just an idea..

Has anyone ever tried flashing with older odin versions?

My friend works with Samsung India and i just made a call to him to inquiry about the 'Alleged" tool to reset knox. He told me that knox was specifically made for US and is being developed in india. So i have asked him to look up for the tool to reset the knox if there is any.

Dont get excited yet!!! Lets wait till he replies back

 

[My1xT]

when it's made for the US then why do the intl phones have this crap...

 

[sangalaviral]

If he does finds that tool and shares with me, then i will make sure it reaches XDA somehow.

 

[My1xT]

that's pretty nice...
