Is Flashing official ROM via odin voids warranty? and KNOX? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello
i found a new rom on sammmobile and i'm hoping for this rom to be better in 4G singal and wake up lag
PDA: N920CXXU1AOH6
CSC: N920COJV1AOH7
i'm wondering, will it void my warranty?

If you're flashing stock firmware you should be OK. It's only when you try rooting that you set off the Knox counter.

The Knox counter is not triggered when we flash a stock firmware through Odin.

[Q] Stock Rom N7000XEUKK3

Hi,
I'm sorry for making a new post as I couldn't find the answer anywhere else!
My phone came with the following Rom: N7000XEUKK3
I rooted it now I'm trying to unroot it but the stock room N7000XEUKK3 is nowhere to be found. Can anyone help me by giving me a link or to the relevant post?

May I ask why you want to unroot it?
If you really insist on unrooting it. Just flash the correct firmware with Odin and it will be unrooted.
Use the one for you CSC.

The original KKA/KK5/KK3(XEU) ROM doesn't seem to be available for whatever reason but an OTA update to that ROM has been released by Samsung and that's the LA6/LA4/LA1(XEU) version you've found.
If you use ODIN to install the LA6 ROM you should end up with a phone that is identical to if you were on KK3 and then applied the official OTA.

also working in slovenia. Not sure if ****ty signal or it keeps disconnecting from network. Probably poor signal
also working in Romania...4G also works....flashed it and no personal data or setting we're modified.
The German rom has custom apps inside or is it free of non Samsung bloatwere? How's the rom? Better than 4.3 any issue?
Also works in Portugal [emoji106]
it also works way down here in Malaysia.

Yes
No. It's official rom. Only customs trigger.
i dont get it. if is an official samsung release why would that raise the flag. I've seen different opinions. some said that if is official the knox will stay 0x0.

OT Records Knox 0x0 or 0x1 indicates new bootloader, when you have old, you haven't any records about Knox. When you have 0x1 you are warranty off

ok. now i'm confused. if knox indicates new bootloader means that even if i update OTA the knox will be triggered. i mean kitkat 4.4.4 has a new bootloader. i think i'm getting it wrong.
I'm only interesting of your 1st question "If i flash the 4.4.4 german rom via Odin will knox be triggered to 0x1?" Because my brotheratlow flashed via Odin 4.3 on 4.1.2, an got new bootloader and told me got Flag 0x1 - warranty off. So I asked above "are you sure? @Rivalen1"
Additional information about knox and bootloaders:
- if you ever flash 4.3 or 4.4 via Odin or updated from OTA you have new Bootloader.
- if you bought your device and you dont know what bootloader you have, turn off your phone,reboot to download mode (hold power + volume down +home buttons) and when is there Knox flag 0x1 you have new and you are warranty off. When Knox flag is there 0x0 you have also new bootloader, but you are still in warranty and when you'll flash any custom recovery, you'll have then Knox 0x1 and you will be warranty off - so it's on your deciding. When isn't in download mode any records about about Knox, you still have old bootloader (btw congratulation ) and don't ever flash via Odin 4.3 and higher firmware - it's a pity.
Edit: now I'm reading here, that is true when it's official firmware via Odin, then knox warranty will stay on 0x0
Can somebody also confirm this?
"This is an official operation as Odin will be used for flashing the stock Android OS. Odin is a program developed by Samsung and used especially on update types of procedures. Also, Odin works only with Samsung branded devices. Thus, the warranty of your Galaxy S3 4G will not get void by applying the XXUFNI3 Android firmware. " This is what android geeks is saying.
Will you try it? If yes, leave here pls feedback . Thank you
original firmware downloaded from samsung(http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) will NOT trigger knox. so happy flashing
@spiderman07 have you noticed bugs ? a general opinion compared to 4.3 pls.

Did you download the firmware from sammobile?
So i flashed 4.4.4 dbt firmaware. everything went fine. i noticed some changes...overall is good. I'll come back with a feedback after I test 'im a little. btw...knox remained 0x0 so after all oficial releases don't void knox warranty.

Will flashing a modem via Odin trigger Knox?

Hi,
I have a stock I9305 (I'm in Australia) with android 4.3 apparently Hong Kong firmware. Reception with the current firmware is terrible so I was wondering if i flashed a different modem it might help.
My question is whether flashing a new modem via Odin on a totally stock I9305 would trigger Knox?
cheers
no it will not trigger your knox counter....as long as is official stock - http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Thanks that's what i wanted to know.
cheers

Flashing unbranded ROM to TM-815

I have had my Tab S2 operator unlocked, and would like to change the firmware to the official BTU version for my device. Before I proceed with this, can anyone advise me of the correct process for flashing the official firmware without tripping Knox? Will using ODIN trip Knox by default?
I already downloaded the firmware files for the BTU version, so any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
Stock firmware doesn't trip knox.

Cannot flash stock ROMs, why?

I downloaded the files from this thread, which match my PDA and CSC:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s6/general/odin-tar-files-sm-g920a-t3103835/page2
However, Odin doesn't start. Not after 30 minutes, it stops at NAND WRITE.
I no longer have a baseband visible.
Phone is Galaxy S6 SM-G920A
Do you see anything in download mode about Knox or warranty bit?

Knox is 0x0, warranty bit is intact.
It's a 5.0.2 Lolipop OS.
It's a very strange situation. IMEI is null/null, baseband is gone, but I can boot the phone fine, and even use PingPong Root without trouble. But there's no radio at all.
If the phone is an sgh-i337 from AT&T, you cannot flash any stock ROMs from updato.com or sammobile.com.
AT&T never released any full ROMs after 4.1.1. All updates for the s4 were pushed via OTA.
The XDA link is for the s6. You flashed the PDA and CSC for an s6 via Odin?
