Nice! Would be awesome if the Sammobile site actually would download it. Keeps giving a stupid error

Well... What's the news? Anyone got it get and crack open that zip to see what's inside?
I'm interested if it will reset Knox to 0x0.

I've been trying to d/l it from Hotfile since I created this thread but since I don't have a premium account, the d/l is taking for damn ever. I'll flash once I get it and let you know...my Knox is currently 0x1 but I don't have high hopes this Odin will matter. I'll let you know.
I keep getting the download stopped.

Even if it doesn't, I've preferred a full install over an update patch.

I'm on my third or fourth attempt at downloading. Trying my flaky WiFi home connection now. With the links, you can't DL if you're not a member of one if the sites and the other, not hotfile, is over the size limit for free dl'ing.

The d/l finally completed for me...almost 3 hours later. Working on nandroid and then going to Odin this tar...I'll report back.
Downloading now. Says 2 hours left. We'll see but at least this will hopefully give the devs something to build off of or something to create an update zip
I'm trying a download manager to see if that will hold onto the transfer a little better than just a browser.

Does it seem to run better than your previous setup?

Previously you were at 0x1? If it does reset, that is a huge relief (if you need to bring the phone in for repairs)!Downloading now

Knox still at 0x1; hard to say if it's running better than before because I was running Bonsai, which was AWESOME, but it's running just dandy. LOL
Was your Knox 0x1 prior to flashing this Tar?Downloading now

Damn! Well, maybe we'll get lucky, like the sprint s4 section and get a bootloader with Knox removed or eventually find a way to reset it.

http://omegadroid.co/wanted-knox-void-warranty-0x1/ Just googled something about Knox. Looks like even custom bootloaders that have Knox removed will be locked out from further updates. Even supposedly a JTAG won't reset it. My suggestion to those of you who are Knox 0x0, stay that way. Don't install custom recovery.

If this is completely bone stock factory firmware flashed through Odin then I don't know why Knox wouldn't reset. Really sucks if it doesn't but at least us rooted folks can get the full update and get rid of the call audio issue. I threatened Sprint with a Class Action lawsuit for the firmware blocking because as paying customers we are free to do whatever we want with our phones even if it voids a warranty. But when there is a software issue out of the box that they need to correct then everyone should be entitled to that.

According to the article, and the link to chainfire's comments, once the counter is tripped, it cannot be reset. I saw there's over a $1100 bounty to be able to reset the counter, but no luck yet.
Anyone willing to host a mirror for this? Those official mirrors are slow as hell. Might just Odin back to stock and take the update that way, probably faster.
