(Guide) Knox files to delete and locations

I extracted the update zip posted and just extracted it and searched for knox and came up with 10 files associated to knox. Use some root explorer then....
In system/app you need to pwn....
(1&2) KNOXAgent.apk & KNOXAgent.odex
(3&4) KnoxAttestationAgent.apk & KnoxAttestation.odex
(5&6) KNOXStore.apk&KNOXStore.odex
Found in System/framework
(7) KNOXModeSwitcher.apk
(8) sec_container_1.zzzKnoxLauncher.apk
Found in System/etc
(9) com.sec.knox.store
Found in system/lib
(10) libknoxdrawglfunction.so
Edit* lorjay589 has posted two sets of updates both are KNOX-FREE. One rooted one stock....they both use the MC2 bootloader opposed to the MK4 bootloader. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541395 and be sure to hit the thanks button for his work.
We now have a full flashable 4.3 rom odex thaks to lorjay589, with deodex cooking in kitchen now (same thread above)...stay tuned

Will it install OK with the missing files?

My Appreciation
Big ups to louforgiveno, billard412, lorjay589, & dr.ketan - if it wasn't for you guys my phone would be stuck on the knox bootloader & even worse, still bricked! Now I'm knox free with MC2 bootloader, rooted on MK4, & rockin AOSP. Without you this would not be possible. I want to thank all of your efforts.

On my Note II the
(7) KNOXModeSwitcher.apk
(8) sec_container_1.zzzKnoxLauncher.apk
wouldn't show up using the search feature in the System/framework folder. I ended up finding them by doing an overall search in the System folder.
The full location is /system/containers/framework/... Using Root Explorer.
Just thought I'd point this out. Thanks for all the work you and lorjay89 have done with this dreaded Knox deal

Looking for some help
I am currently running Sprint's OTA 4.3 (MK4) on my Note 2. I have rooted using Odin 3.07 and CF-Auto-Root-t0ltespr-t0ltespr-sphl900.
After every reboot SuperSU is stopped (I assume by knox) until I reinstall it. Then SuperSU works (or at least pretends to).
My WIFI Trev-E Mod starts with errors, so I was looking to flash to LorJay's ROM. Which brings me to deleting/disabling the KNOX off of my phone.
I have root directory access, but when I delete the files you specify, they do not disappear, even though the explorer states they have been deleted and then only the files /system/apps location show at all. The rest aren't there.
I tried rebooting and KNOX is still there and I have to reinstall SuperSU again.
I have also rooted using Android Root in which it says root is successful as well. But with the same results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are going to install anther rom dont worry about knox. Put phone in download mode and use odin to flash recovery (I suggest philz 6.07.9) but uncheck the reboot option. Once it flashes everything disconnect from pc pull battery. Now the tricky part. Hold down volume up key, menu key, and power key. Now reinsert battery at same time. Ii find it easiest to turn phone upside down to perform this task. Once it boots into recovery just flash your desired rom.

Awesome! I will try it now! Thank you!

So the button combo isn't working. Does that mean the flash didn't work?

And from stock MK4 the easiest method to root and such for me is just use Google Kingo Root App on PC to root. It will restart phone and then you can install from the market GooManager if you want TWRP (touch) recovery, or RomManager for CWM. I installed all recoveries successfully (haven't tried any philz yet) and can flash whatever rom from there. Less battery pulling and no ODIN necessary.
Then usually I install Titanium Backup and remove Knox and freeze or remove other bloat. Leaves me an almost clean stock experience.
Just in case anyone needs an alternate method.

4.3 clean root on SGH-I317M on Build JSS15J.I317MVLUCMK5

Ok so this is what i did to root my Telus Device SGH-I317M on Build JSS15J.I317MVLUCMK5
I started with a factory reset from backup and reset dont think this is necessary but nice to do with a clean isntall
once that was done i turned off the device and booted into download mode volume down + home + power
opened ODIN 3.09 and added the CF-Auto-Root-t0ltecan-t0ltevl-sghi317m.tar.md5 to the AP section. then clicked start. once done the device restarts back to normal and the root is applied, but during that KNOX detects it and disables it from working.
plug device into computer and ran Kies 3 and ran a firmware upgrade and initialization. took about 20 minutes.
once phone started you will notice superSU is no longer on your system.
TEST FOR THIS PART... PROBABLY not necessary but i did this and this is what happened.
run KNOX and allow it to Install. once done it will ask you to add passwords and at the end it will say it is not compatible with this device or whatever. KNOX has now terminated its warrenty or what not and will not install.
i did not have an update for superSU on Google Play but i DID have the update on Aptoide. so i updated it and ran the program.
program told me it was no longer on the device saying the libraries or whatever were not there.
so i ran Odin and ran AP again and ran it once it was done phone started and no messages and superSU worked.
because now that you factory loaded from kies for some reason it knows you attempted it the first time that now knox will not work
not quite sure how that works or if its even relevant. but when you see in the download mode it says warrenty void 1 or whatever and the knox crap its all disabled now i am guessing because i got no problems or messages once i finished it all
so step by step.
STEP 1. put in download mode and run odin 3.09 load AP and make sure Auto reboot and F. reset time are the only ones with check marks and then click START.
STEP 2 Once device reboots you will get errors and knox blocking it. this is normal. (for me it was anyway) open Kies 3 and do firmware upgrade and initialization. depending on internet connection this could take some time. you may be able to Odin the firmware but i chose kies 3
STEP 3 Once system restore from Kies is done open KNOX and install it. should fail and say not available for this device. (happened on my device)
STEP 4 either run aptoide and download the update for superSU tho you dont see it, its still there. open that will tell you to re do the root process again.
STEP 5 run odin 3.09 load AP and make sure Auto reboot and F. Reset Time are the only ones with check marks and then click start.
STEP 6 once device has started download root checker from the google play store and test. should say success.
i did at first after i root checked it with success i rebooted the device and started it up then opened superSU asked me to download binaries i pressed back by accident and then it said knox detected would you like to try and disable knox. select yes. and then success
you are rooted and no more notifications.
THESE ARE THE STEPS THAT I DID TO ROOT MY DEVICE FOR THE SPECIFIC MODEL AND BUILD so results may differ from others. so far its worked on my SGH-I317M TELUS phone running virgin mobile sim
Hope everyone else has as much success as i did.

If you just want a custom rom all you really need to do is update the bootloader or already be on 4.3 official then just boot into download mode use Odin 1.85 to flash twrp recovery wipe your data and flash the rom you want. Or just update to official use chain fire auto root and just update supersu it will disable Knox.

If you can't find a Odin modem I would update to official then re root and flash away.

Thanks but I am not that keen on getting the official rom. For one I hate using kies, it was a mess when i tried to update with my old s3, so I have not used it at all. Plus I have tons of stuff on my current phone that i would need to restore after things are done.
Also, i'd rather not having to deal with knox if i can, even though the phone is out of first yr warranty period. I have always used custom roms on my note 2 and s3 so i will leave at that for now.

I tried that method didn't work for me. I couldn't update or use superSU maybe the root I used didn't fully install but they way I wrote down to doing it on stock room works every time.

The main reason to use a custom rom is to remove all carrier related stuff on your phone. It also let's you add different mods and features you want. For example you can use the note 3 roms. Pretty much turn your phone into a note 3.

alright ill wait till tomorrow. and hopefully i find a detailed description on how to do all this. ive only ever ran the s1 because it was bricked had to run all the modem the pda and pit or whatever a long time ago so my minds gone all fresh on the rooting and flashing roms. ive only ever run stock roms. but for 4.4 i want to get it on my device because i love the group play video and the screen recording and the other few things that are awesome on the note 3
unless there is a way to get all that on the 4.3 note 2 firmware that would be awesome as well

i317m - no mobile data with CF-auto root zip file in odin
I guess I have done enough reading to be dangerous. I wish there was a comprehensive glossary for this stuff.
Anyhow - through ODIN I have flashed CF-Auto-Root-t0ltecan-t0ltevl-sghi317m - and today I have no mobile data.
Where could I find an image to go back to the original phone and start again? It is an i317m Note2 from Bell

Basically - I have no mobile data (it seems) How can I diagnose my problem. Is there something to show signal strength. Or is there a log file showing whether my modem is handshaking or what can a guy do?

Downgrade 4.3 to 4.2.2

How do I downgrade 4.3 to 4.2.2? 4.3 has alot of problems, wifi keeps dropping. I am using Rochester Institute of Technologys internet. How would I do that?
Thanks
Tmobile Galaxy s4, m919

I don't think you can due to knox.
With the newer MK2 bootloader and knox people seem to report bricks when attepting.
You might want to root, flash the older modems and see if that makes a difference.
I ran a 4.3 custom rom with 4.2 modems and bootloader without issues for the most part.

You need to go to http://SamMobile.com and download the
official stock M919 MDL firmware for your phone.
After doing that go into recovery mode and do a factory reset.
Once that's done you need to Odin flash the stock MDL firmware.
After doing that your phone will be 4.2.2 stock.
It will need to be re-rooted if you want root access and you will also need
to flash the custom cwm/twrp recovery if you want.
Good luck!

As for your root problem, try asking this in the i9500 specific forum. Our devices are sufficiently different that what works for ours won't work for yours.
As far as downgrading, you're probably out of luck like every other S4 owner in existence.

yes it downgraded the bootloader, the modem didnt take though, the bst dongle is a phone service box. and it allowed the downgrade. i was able to get the wireless back after i upgraded to the next firmware version. i dont have the s4 any more but i wanted to try it because everyone said it could not be done. and i did it. with a service box.

I've been searching for this dongle but I think is only available for the i9500, not for the T-Mobile M919.

No network, need help please.

So I updated to kk, and now I have no network, I tried several Sim cards and get still no data. Imei gone, inline Barnard. I'll add pics appreciate any help

I feel bad for you. There are so many bugs in Kit Kat right now. I'm staying away until it's stable.

Did you manually update to kk or did you let the OTA update do it?

How did you update. What did you use. What files did you use. Did you wipe before flashing. Are you rooted. Need a lot more info if anyone is gonna be able to help you.

I have and have tried to answer most. I been on 4.4 from day 3 no issues. So many people dirty flashing not following rules flashing kernels from 4.3 on 4.4. I have seen so many dumb moves that all could of been avoided by reading.

That's probably accurate. Most of the problems probably could have been avoided by reading.

well i was instructed how to properly update which i knew how to but wasn't quite sure about boot-loaders. but what gets me is i flashed the factory image and even on stock with no root, no rom, no kernel i had issues with network dropping, FC'ing apps, random reboots daily, Samsung Knox still causing issues daily (i deleted all apk + odex), only Philz recovery decided to work too TWRP 2.7 4.4 Boot loader edition wont work for anything nothing gets applied at all in that recovery. The only good thing KK has given me is slightly better battery.
YET on 4.3:
Stable, Works, No Samsung Knox issues, Working Recoveries, No network issues, No audio crackling issues
The only reason im still on KitKat is the fact that im waiting for a ROM that will be actually good that's near stock and odexed.

I rooted and updated using the cf easy update. Followed all steps. Noticed there was no network so I switched Sims, still no network. I factory reset , still no network. So I tried flashing just the new modem all via Odin 3.09 still nothing.

Hit thanks by accident. ...but I was gonna say I had the opposite experience. ...got my n3 from tmo about 3 weeks ago with 4.3 and had random reboots. ...no root or custom recovery. ..jumped on kitkat when it dropped and rooted, debloated and threw custom recovery on it and now No reboots, wifi issues, imei loss, or any of the other issues I've seen people report.
I remember back in my og evo days on one of the forums....that suddenly it arose that many people thought they were doing full wipes and turned out their idea of full wipe meant cache and dalvik.....they didn't realize they needed to wipe system and data......so my point is that there usually tends to be issues based on people's different approaches to upgrading though they swear they followed directions.

You need to start all over. Watch the step by step video. Either Philz or twrp as recovery.

well i can say i have had android since Samsung moment dropped on Sprint haha so i know what im doing and know a lot about linux and such. its just i like to ask people how they did their process as it might work better than another persons' idea of "how to".
i just know that KK in general is a big mess, regardless of those who say its better, there are more people with problems that aren't user related.

You shouldn't have to that zip I posted (linked earlier in this thread) clears the efs so th phone can rebuild it on boot. Samsung must have gotten sick of getting corrupted efs phones for warranty service so they built in a method for the phone to restore it. Problem is it only works once the efs has been cleared. As mentioned before it is at your own risk but I can confirm it worked for me .

1. If you are using an unofficial version of a rom then please check if it has know issues. (the developer usually lists them on the rom page)
2. Use Odin to reflash your original files.
3. They are available. Just search for them on google with your model number.
4. This should solve your signal problem.
5. Now reroot following a proper guide.
6. Flash an official version of a rom or if not available a rom with lesser issues. Current many unofficial kitkat ports have signal problems and blue tooth problems.

Flashing Kernel on OG5 5.1.1
I recently updated to the Sprint 5.1.1 and tried to root using odin and did not achieve root. However, now the phone gives an error when trying to do OTA update. How do I flash this kernel? Do I use odin to flash it or do I use the regular recovery

The kernel is flashed in TWRP recovery. Odin that, making sure you've selected the option to disable OEM lock in Odin 3.10.6 and do not select auto reboot. When done with the TWRP Odin flash, pull USB and battery, wait 30 seconds, reboot to recovery and flash kernel.
Are you having trouble with Odin or boot? CF Auto Root is not used to root OG5. After flashing the kernel, flash the rooted ROM or root with SuperSU zip if just wanting to root stock and boot.

AFAIK you may be OK despite that. I keep seeing that on the web so I thought maybe that's why OE1 thru OG5 bootloaders are giving fits and bricks (semi-bricks).
It may only apply to full tars; did you OTA or KIES to OG5?
The saga continues... feedback like this helps. Thanks!

Since you have a OG5 tar, now you can wipe it and clean install Odin to fix that.
Maybe try that oem lock disabled this time? Odin 3.10.6
