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.

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
hello...
please give me some help..
I am beginner on android, flashing and so on...
I have an S4 active, with 4.4.2 with Baseband version "I9295XXUCNI1".
I want to install the 5.0.1 version, but on sammobile, the only version available for "I9295XXUCNI1" is 4.4.2.
There is 5.0.1 available with PDA I9295XXUDOD3 and CSC I9295XXUDOD1..
Is it safe to install that room?

Yes, you can install nearly any of the firmwares from the sammobile site. If you're asking which firmware would be the best to flash to your device, it depends where you are located. The NI1 firmware is available for several different countries, so I would flash the firmware for your region, it should be optimized to best work on your networks.
update: I installed the DOD3... it worked!!

When you flash the firmware through Odin it will completely wipe the device, it doesn't matter if you're rooted or not.
thank you
but what if the S4 is locked to orange carrier?
The firmware I have downloaded is carrier free...
is there any problem?
I am afraid of bricking the phone.... I understood the root will not be a problem, but I am afraid of the lock carrier.... the baseband is not the same as the one installed on the phone now
hi guys i want change my csc code without root i tried by using odin but not working with me !
I have a duos N9208, carrier-locked. I also want to do the same. Can someone please answer the ff questions ?
1. How do I change the CSC without root or tripping knox?
2. Will I still get official updates once its successfully changed?
3. If I just flash directly a firmware from another country/region with the same model, will it trip the knox and can I still receive official updates?
Hi guys,
I recently switched from iPhone to Android, and I love it.
I purchased a carrier unlocked Verizon Note 9, and I'm using it on AT&T. I was wondering if flashing it to AT&T firmware would require rooting the device and would that trip Knox hence disabling Samsung pay and other features?
I have also heard that rooting Samsung phones voids warranty and I'm just trying to avoid that.....
I love the phone the way it is, but I want to use WiFi calling and other AT&T apps. I have done my research regarding whats needed to flash the firmware, but nowhere it says the method is actually "rooting" the device. I just want to double check before I flash.
Any feedback would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
You don't need to root it. Download the ATT firmware with the SamFirm tool, then use the patched ODIN 3.13.1 to flash it.

Well, I don't know. You have to provide more info. How is not working? At what point does it fail? What firmware did you download? How are you trying to flash it. What steps are you taking?
So I just bought my Note 9 and have been away from Samsung for a while so I'm not really up-to-date. I have the N960F DS model with COS (COSMOTE Greece) CSC still on Android 8.1.0
How can I change my CSC and flash the latest EUR CSC (Greek CSC) Android 9 update?

If I flash the EUR CSC ROM through Odin even though I'm on the COS CSC, is KNOX going to be tripped?
Official firmware, no tripping of Knox

What about updates? If I flash it and perform a full flash, am I going to continue receiving updates under EUR OTA?
