N7100XXUEMJ5 How to Root + Remove New Bootloader + KNOX Free

OK Guys before leaving to vacation got chance to make this. Here is the procedure, follow to the letter.
I am about to leave for vacation so coudn't test it, but already tested and reported by @mrtipster49

1.First Flash Complete ROM N7100XXUEMJ5 from sammobile posted here
Now your device will have KNox enabled bootloader.

2.Download MJ5BLPatch.tar.md5 and Flash with Odin for PDA Tab.

3.Reboot device, You won't have wifi working.

4.Download wifi patch and flash with Odin for PDA tab.

5.Reboot device and you will have old Knox free bootloader with Wifi working.

6.Flash CWM Recovery

7.To root device Use my MultiTool. You have to download MultiTool advanced V5 for 4.3 from this post I am uploading right now.
Once you root with this tool, It also remove KNOX apps from device.

8.Don't open SuperSU but straight way go to play store and update SuperSU

9.Now everything should be fine.

Sorry guys, Tomorrow I am leaving so can't support for 10 days, I request senior members to handle the thread and help newbies.

Hey doc. I am on DN3 4.3 rom.
I had MJ5 rom originally and then downgraded the bootloader and used wifi patch and then flashed DN3 4.3
But now I am facing random reboots on Dn3 and I gues this is because of the bootloader.
So which bootloader should I flash now?

Sorry to say but nothing working for me.

1) ROM downloading link broken
2) Flashing Patch via Odin FAILED, saying Unsupported version

If these not working there is no use of going ahead as my objective is to remove the KNOW bootloader. So that I can happily go back to 4.1.2.
If any one of you having pointer please do let me know abt it, I will give another go.



Thanks

You are getting unsupported version on odin so are you sure you are on MJ5 BOOTLOADER?

Only MJ5 can be downgraded.

What about MK9? I wanted to downgrade the bootloader and completely remove the Knox from my phone, or atleast reset the Knox counter.

For now KNOW Boot loader removal from MK9 not possible. May be in future someone can help us.

Which counter? there are two counters one for Custom ROM Flash and Knox Warranty Void.

Talking about Knox counter 0x0. And because of knox security the custom rom counter is also not resetting.

Triangle Away works fine for Custom ROM counter resetting. Try that.

Then you may try Triangle Away for resetting counter, but not Knox.

oh ok never mind CHEERS

so is it possible to flash older boot loader and get rid of knox 0x1 counter?
having the knox 0x1 counter means you can never OTA or install latest updates from samsung correct?

No you can do OTA updates as normal.
Only thing you can't claim warranty.
And i don't think it downgrading the BL works after you tripped knox.
