Dear all,
I am just rooted my S3 I9305 and the KNOX warranty void shows 1 instead of 0.
I did some research in the logs stored in my device and I found a file recovery_log.txt
When I scrolled through the file I could see what exactly happens during booting and when the warranty binary had been changed. (see the attachment)
Unfortunately I am not a developer. It would be nice if somebody could look into the file and try to help release a fix.
Thanks a lot
See multiple Knox posts , No fix available and that is the current situation until whenever .
Its an efuse that gets burnt out .
On the I9305, the Knox flag is an eMMC RPMB field (a new kind of hidden partition), not sure about other phones. It should be resettable, but possibly only with JTAG - it's still being investigated.

If it is an efuse the you can only bypass it via software or do a hardware repair, no real software fix will ever come out (you ca fix a hardware problem with software).
I'm hoping for a way to disable or un install knox after you flash it but you didn't modified the counter.:highfive:
On the I9305, Knox is ddefinitely not an efuse.

Hey man, thanks for the great info!
You seem pretty knowledgeable... any chance you know if it is possible to downgrade 4.3 bootloader to 4.1.2 bootloader or if this will fail/cause brick?

I have no idea. Reroot your phone and root it with Odin. There are some great guides in the development section.

It's against the rules to bump a thread more than once every 24 hours
Am I understanding you correctly if I think you accidentally disabled the exploit before using it? If that is the case then you are indeed out of luck, you can either restore to stock and re-use exynos abuse, or root via Odin.

Too bad we don't have a report button so we could avoid extra unnecessary off-topic bumping in these cases...
the report button won't tell the poster not to do it again, unfortunately

I don't think it will trigger knox, check this post i have found. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48590191

You cant go back. Knox is not a counter its a flag. Now if you flash anything custom your warranty is void i.e recovery, kernel etc.
Official 4.3 is now the only thing you CAN flash without voiding warranty. Root etc will now void it. You should have waited for reports before flashing

I had flashed official 4.3 to my i9305 and nw i'm stucked on New bootloader with Knox
Can i flash this rom to my phone is updated already and now is on 4.3 with knox bootloader. Is there any solution to downgrade the bootloader. Please help.
That wont work once you trigger Knox as per all the posts you are stuck .
The future may bring a fix or not
5. If you try to downgrade to earlier firmware / bootloader it will set the knox flag to 0x1 i.e. void.
6. once the knox flag gets set to 0x1 there is no way to set it back (that anyone has found yet anyway!).

your are stuck with official 4.3 you cannot downgrade the bootloader now, flashing any rom (other than official 4.3), custom recovery.... will trigger knox count thus voiding your warranty

So if i flash another official 4.3 will not trigger knox flag? I already knew that if we try to downgrade os version will trigger, but flashing another official 4.3 will also trigger it?
All posts i have found on xda shows that knox counter will not change... See the links from the my first comment.

Sorry...keep seeing people say this...its NOT a counter. It only has two values 0 and 1.
But yes...flashing official is fine. But root it or flash recovery etc will make flag 1

Still there must be something in the official rom , that we can use to make knox think that when we flash another official rom when we flash a custom rom, just need to find it. (Everything can be broken !!).

Correct. Knox flag will only change to 1 when you are going to flash unofficial thinks like custom roms, kernels, recovery, ect.

I understand that but if you flash a new official rom from one to another, how does it know that the new flash rom it is not a custom rom and don't change the counter.
I think that is were we must look for a solution. If Samsung can make new roms that don't change the counter the we ca do it to or !!!

I saw a post from Chainfire indicating he was releasing auto-roots for a bunch of variants today(he didn't mention which ones but I've got my fingers crossed). Apparently the current bottleneck is Sammy's crappy d/l servers.
Looks like no dice with Chainfire, at least for now. https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/JVxv5298wdU
Apparently he needs the recovery extracted from the firmware. I checked sammobile.com for our firmware and they haven't put it out yet. I sure hope they do.

You can't usually dump the recovery partition without having root...usually a custom recovery is needed...hence he needs the firmware which contains the recovery partition.

Just curious if we will be able to root without a unlocked bootloader. With other devices I don't recall that being an issue. But then again this is the first one I've had that's been this locked down.

CF root likely won't work if the ATT BL is locked, but the only definitive way to check is to get the firmware and extract the recovery, send it to CF and have him package something up and then have someone flash with Odin, if the BL is locked, then it will either fail to flash, fail to boot, or worse, also once you flash anything not deemed official you trip the knox warranty flag and your without a warranty..

I'm pretty sure root will break some things. I was able to sign up for Isis and get the $50 credit, but my wife wasn't able since her Note 3 is rooted. Google Wallet might still work though. Ready to root though.

Use odin to root your i9305. check the odin guide below in my signature and follow the steps to root your device, very easy
Thank you! I was thinking about Odin but yet again I was curious why the towelroot was not working uder those conditions. But I guess root is root no matter how you get it

Somehow the new towelroot is not compatible with the i9305. knowing this because it happened to me too . until i decided to try the version 1 and version 2 . and version 2 worked for me. Now i don't see any difference whether you root with odin or with towelroot. Unless you don't want your knox warranty void.. that's the only difference. if you did upgraded to 4.3 and you rooted your device with a different method other than towelroot, it will void your knox warranty.
