Questions about flashing stock ROM using Odin

[mariolatif741]

Hello,

I have a Samsung J7 and I want to flash the stock ROM of it using Odin...

However I received the stock ROM package with multiple files (AP, BL, CSC, HOME_CSC)

Which files should I flash and in the same time not trip the KNOX warranty void and not remove the auto Knox Mobile Enrollment setup by my organization?

The site from which I got the ROM from says that CSC will wipe all the apps & data, but HOME_CSC keeps the apps and data.
Also it confirmed that flashing the ROM won't trip Knox... but will flashing CSC remove the auto Knox enrollment setup by my organization?

Knowing that currently when I perform a factory reset, the Knox enrollment prompts. So its a system app I guess?

EDIT: Also, can I put AP and CSC/HOME_CSC only in Odin? Or i must put all the files i got?

Thanks!

If you got the stock firmware from a good source your good to go , make sure they are for your model , region.
Use

AP

Knox is part of the software , you cant get rid of it, and why would you want to ?

Actually I don't want to and thats why I am asking. So I will be enrolled again after flashing it?

Sorry for asking it a lot but I will be in a trouble if i didnt get enrolled

It automatically comes with Knox in the firmware nothing to enroll

Sorry if im not clear. My organization uses https://www.samsungknox.com/en/solutions/it-solutions/knox-mobile to enroll me into their MDM..

Here is what happens when i currently factory reset my phone (i didnt flash the stock ROM yet):
1. The welcome screen asks me to select the language
2. It asks me to connect to a wifi network and prompts "This phone is protected by Knox Cloud Services"
3. When i connect to a wifi network, it says "Your phone will be enrolled with: my organization name here"
4. It downloads the mdm setup by my organization and i can use the phone then.

So my question is: will flashing the stock ROM remove the process of the knox enrollment? I shouldnt remove it.
My organization didnt do anything special to the ROM for the enrollment process to come.. they just added my phone's IMEI in the knox mobile enrollment portal, thats why iam getting enrolled

If they go by imei then your good to go because that doesn't change with flashing stock firmware

I have seen unboxing videos of my same phone model but their first-use setup doesnt have that message of phone is protected by knox services.

I am really worried i wont get the enrollment anymore but im forced to flash the stock ROM because my phone started to have a lot of issues

[mustang7757]

What's the issue ?

Whenever i unlock the screen i get "System UI has stopped working" and asks to unlock again then same.
Btw the videos i have seen doesnt have Knox in their phones's hardware even.. i think knox availbilty for my phone differs from a country to another?

Yes, my organization told me to go to a Samsung service center but the nearest one to me is in another far city

Maybe you shouldn't be playing with it and let them handle it like they mentioned nearest Samsung service center .

Hello,

Our IT admin said that Knox is built into the hardware and the ROM proceeds to the enrollment once it detects it into the hardware
Thanks a lot for helping.
