Does flashing to KG5 with odin void warranty? - General Questions and Answers

So, does it?
Also what's the difference between KG5 and KG7.
I live in the Netherlends (EU) so can I flash to either one?\
And would there be a way to go back to my current rom?
Thanks in advance.

Flashing another ROM from the original will void your warranty but you can go back to original and un root in most devices

[Q] How to restore to complete stock?

I have to send my TF300T in for repair. My bootloader is unlocked and I have a custom rom. How do I return to complete stock? I need to be back on the stock rom and recovery. I was on the 4.2 update before I rooted and put the rom on it. Thanks for the help!

There is no way to relock the bootloader. They will bring that up during repair, and your warranty will be voided, so you will have to pay for the repairs out of pocket.
To get back to stock, flash the stock ROM. The latest US stock on is this.

Flashing another official ROM

Hi!
Flashing another official ROM using Odin voids my warranty?
Right now I'm on AUT and I would like to flash ROM.
Flashing official stock roms won't trip Knox, hence why it's called official and not custom. Double check your Knox in download mode to see if it has been tripped.
Thank you!
No worries!

Firmware flashing and warranty/functionality

Hi,
Can I check with you guys
1) As of 7/6/17 there is no way to flash alternative stock firmware onto the XZ?
2) Would flashing alternative stock firmware void the warranty?
3) Would flashing alternative stock firmware result in a loss of functionality e.g. in the camera (like root would)
My own read of the threads is 1) No 2) Shouldn't 3) Not sure
Doesn't seem to be anything out yet.
Flashing something else than stock doesn't void warranty.
Only unlocking bootloader kills the DRM keys so no, it wouldn't.

Un rooting phone? Sonim XP7

I have a Sonim XP7, i rooted it with the latest IROOT, i was wondering how do i go about un-rooting the phone and restoring it to stock? without flashing the rom, which there is no rom available, unless someone can provide me one?
would it be safe to un-root it?
If you have root access can you try and pull off some of the firmware files like boot and recovery? Many people have bricked sonims that could be repaired by these files.

So after rooting and putting a custom ROM on i can just put my stock ROM back on and thats not going to trigger knox??
If you've installed a custom ROM, I'm fairly sure that should've tripped the knox anyway (Correct me if I'm wrong), but if it didn't flashing stock Rom isn't going to trip it

Custom ROMs don't exist for the S7 US version.
Once tripped, tripped it is.
You talk about a custom ROM. Remember that you need to flash a custom recovery to flash a custom ROM.
Once you flash it, Knox becomes 0x1, tripped for good.
Even if you reflash your device with an official firmware, that will not hide the tripped Knox.
Samsung will always see that it was tampered with.
What you can do is hide root from specific apps, while using a rooted divece, but that's another story.
No one can revert Knox from 0x1 back to 0x0, at least not with any software.
