As of now, I don't think there's a way to reset the knox flag.

Maybe you would want to flash one of the stock 4.1.2 ROMs that you can get from SamMobile (4.1.2 2013 May SingTel/whatever your telco is)? Try that first, it *may* help.

Do not flash 4.1.2 will damage your phone. Just download the stock 4.3 official firmware to get it to stock unrooted. As for knox if you have not trip it no issues with flashing 4.3 stock firmware. If you have tripped knox counter then keep fingers crossed samsung wont ask about it cos no one from singapore actually tripped the counter and send it in. Gd luck but no matter what do not flash 4.1.2 back.

use triangle away to get rid of that, then flash stock 4.3 to unroot. Should then be official status.

[Q] am I ok for now? (NOOB)

Being overeager i Flashed the official stock ICS 4.0.3 German build onto my note using PC odin, everything went ok and the phone is running great. (i was on stock 2.3.6 and unrooted before)
I plan to remain unrooted and on stock for now, but just came to know about the issues people are having with ICS and bricking.
So my question is am i in the clear? or should i revert back to GB?
Thanks in Advance =)
stay on it and keep unroot because probably issues come from CWM
Well, if you are planing to stay unrooted then you are safe...
also if i remain the way i am, will i recieve further OTA updates from samsung?
just to be totally clear, am i in the clear for now if i stay this way!? if i want can i revert back to stock GB using PC Odin?
Also if in the future samsung send out another official update will i get that OTA? or do i have to use another manual method!?
You are very safe, don't worry bro.
I think you should still get the OTA updates but I say flash the stock ICS for your region whenever it comes out.

4.1.2 for unbranded phones

Hi.
Is it normal that some devices started receiving 4.1.2 in December, while others like mine, there is still no update for 4.1.2 (CSC-I8190OXXALJ8, Europe, Portugal, UNBRANDED)?
My unbranded Xperia received ICS (4.0.3) the day Sony released it. Also, when Sony released ICS 4.0.4, there was also no waiting time. Is this normal on Samsung?
PS: I know i can use Odin.

I have XXALJ8 and have 4.1.2.
Ok. Just checked. Looks like there is no 4.1.2 update for Portugal on Sammobile.
Well i guess you will have to wait.

I'm tired of waiting for 4.1.2 (I8190OXXALJ8).
So i'll use odin to flash this firmware I8190XXAMB2 (Spain), downloaded from sammobile, official, not rooted.
Two questions:
1-Will i be unable to update through Kies?
2-Will i lose warranty?
3-When 4.1.2 is released for my phone can i revert back to 4.1.1 (I8190OXXALJ8; already downloaded from sammobile) and update to 4.1.2?
4-Will this increase counter?
Thanks

And CM11 4.4 kitkat is out, but it's not a bugfree stock experience, and that's what I think the OP is asking for.
Just install a custom rom chances are it'll still be slow and laggy just like all other Samsung stock roms, once you go aosp/cm there's no going back to slow stock roms.

I really don't think all custom samsung roms are slow. Try The Galaxy Project. Not slow or laggy at all in my opinion.

Or u can just install a cm ROM then add in the touchwiz launcher then download the touch wiz theme from play store... There a "Sammy" ROM with latest software hahaha

A custom rom is made/contributed by 1, 2 or lets say a number of 10 developers. An official rom its created by an army of developers

Anyone eager to download it, repackage to flashable .zip and upload somewhere? I might then start to work on boeffla kernel for 4.3
Or at least instruct me how to do it, I've never downloaded whole rom for odin
Root 4.3 firmware GT-I9305
How to root 4.3 firmware for GT-I9305?
I'm not sure but i guess that you could flash custom roms without losing your warranty.
When you want to restore your warranty just flash the stock 4.1.2 with odin.?
Not sure if this works.
Since the 4.1.2 version doesn't have KNOX.

Hello Mate I asked the Same Question and i have already read the same replies i got which doesn't answer your Question and will probably leave you frustrated.
There is a Leaked Roadmap on XDA which is Basically a very short list of when they expect the update to be released.
I can tell you it said November/December so it could be any day really.
I have been on Sam Mobile and they have Released 4.3 for our Handsets in Germany, Germany (Vodafone) and Spain (Vodafone)
I have asked the Question if these can be installed on a UK Handset and change the Language or if it wont work.
I hope this Helps answer your Question

if you update your i9305 via ota update or kies, you will get the knox bootloader (new bootloader since 4.3) and that crap is nothing but a pain in the ass!! read about KNOX here. I dont recommend updating to official 4.3 for now with ota or kies, instead of that use a custom stock rom 4.3 from any developer on the development thread of i9305 without knox. but first ask in the thread of the rom, if you will get knox by flashing it? knox itself is removed from those custom 4.3 roms but still i dont know for sure, i have the new bootloader with knox myself unfortunately
all this time since im on knox bootl. ive had no problems actually with the knox bootloader in all that custom roms/kernels/recoveries flashing etc. but some do have and maybe you will too...(i hope not of course, if you do update to official 4.3) but you are warned!
the problem is that I haven't getting any updates till now as my mobile is from oman nd im in india.....
Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-galaxy-s3-lte-jb-4-3-mod-t2607321
I'm also on 4.1 jb... and will try that as well...
Update to 4.3 isnt worth at all.
Well configured 4.1.2 with some useful application is much better.
I just recently updated my s3 to 4.3 and the knox app isn't installed its just a link to install it should I install it or not

I am still on 4.1, but as far as I know, the problem is not the Knox app, but the Bootloader for 4.3, which has Knox installed. Which means that you void your warranty if you install custom roms after updating to stock 4.3. Like MaHo said, read Here
The better advice would be to flash some custom K.K. 4.4.4 rom instead. It has A LOT more improvements than 4.3.
Update
Update to 4.3 isnt worth at all.

[Q] I'm not getting the kitkat update, should I use odin?

Hi guys, as the title says, I'm not getting the kitkat neither by ota nor kies. I have the I9395 (international variant) and it's all stock with 4.2.2. If I update through odin it will affect something?
Ps: I don't care de warranty.
Thanks in advance

Just go to sammobile.com, download the firmware you want, and flash it. Assuming you don't have a corrupted download you should be able to flash any of those firmwares using Odin or Kies.

No, because I did not want to flash that rom, I wanted to flash a newer one, so I was wondering if the knox counter would be affected, but it doesn't matter anymore, I already flashed the nk4 and all it's going great till now
Well I did something like that. I flash the newer firmware and I had too many troubles getting my phone back to work. I recommend you to try. In kies for Samsung or you may have to get it to a Samsung dealer.
