Hello folks,
today I flashed official Lollipop 5.0.1 via ODIN in my N910-F and accidently tripped my KNOX Counter. So be careful if you do not want to void your warranty.
My phone is carrier branded DTM (T-Mobile) and had latest OTA firmware 4.4.4 *ANK4 on it. Back when i did buy my device I decided to debrand my phone as soon as Lollipop comes out.
So I did and flashed in one step from KitKat (T-Mobile) to Lollipop (Open). From what I read a assumed it would be no problem because it's a newer build but in some way it tripped my Knox Counter to 0x1 (3).
I did use Odin 3.09 as suggested by sammobile but ended up with an error (Fail) at the end of the flashing procedure. I downloaded Odin 3.10 and reflashed without any problems. This might be also considered as a reason for tripping the counter (as it says 3). I checked my counter after 2 factory resets afterwards.
Now I'm actually good to root I guess. :D Be careful.
