Samsung note 3, so messed up it works.

Ok, to start off I'm going to let you know that I don't know everything about this topic, I know enough to get my self in major trouble but still. With that in mind I start from the beginning, I got my note 3 then decided to root it with like one click root or something, looking back probably should have followed the video and done it right. After I would try to install a rom using safe strap rom slot 1 so I wouldn't lose my stock rom. Dumb me I tried loading cm11 and that's when I think I tripped Knox because after rebooting a custom logo was in the bootloader, I didn't think anything of it at the time. Now we skip ahead a few months to were I went camping with my family and my father's friends who's really good at this stuff had the jasmine rom on his note 3, my reaction was like I want that gimme. So the truth comes out here when he looked at my phone the Knox counter was 0x1 and he said something about a eFuse, after trial and error when I got home I forced the kk firmware through Odin and then flashed jasmine rom on the phone and it worked . So the question is, is my phone a special case or is that supposed to happen, I figured if Knox was tripped you could install any roms. What do you guys think?

Tripping Knox just breaks your warranty. So that's actually bad. It doesn't unlock the bootloader which is what allows any rom to be installed or more specifically any kernel. If you attempt to install cm11 again it still won't work, however if you try to return the phone they will see that Knox has been triggered (meaning you messed with stuff you weren't 'supposed' to) and will say NAH. Doesn't really matter though in my opinion as it is hard to brick this phone and need a replacement anyway.
