4.3 Downgrade Question

Hi All, I upgraded to 4.3 using the firmware from SamMobile, UK BTU version as my S3 is factory unlocked (Sim free), I flashed it using Odin 3.9, can anyone tell me if this means that I don't have Knox on my phone and I can downgrade to 4.1 if I wanted to? Phil
 
You cannot go back. Trying to do so will either fail at flashing the older ROM in Odin or give you a "bootloop" only recoverable by flashing a 4.3 ROM.

Not sure about Knox on a SGSIII, I think with 4.3 you'll have it and the new bootloader (its the bootloader that prevents downgrading). Unless your going to use your phone in a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) scenario for business, forget about it. If your messing with Odin your likely to trip the Knox flag anyway.
