As I understand it, it is just a counter. But anyone with a bit of a brain could /
would know that you had flashed / rooted your tablet. The main concern most
people have is in returning the tablet, where the manufacturer or dealer would
know that you flashed software and this MAY void your warranty.

you understand correctly, and yes, Triangle Away resets that counter. However it's also worth mentioning that with recent Samsung devices, even if you reset the counter the device will still be marked as MODIFIED. Which makes it pretty much silly to use anyways. You basically need to be unrooted for that to go away in the case you need to claim warranty... But then there's probably something wrong with the tablet that would prevent one from resetting that if you're looking at the warranty. Have a 0 counter all you want, if they find superuser/SuperSU and some root apps... then you're caught

Hi, i need a way to get only root access, without unlock, with all stock and avaiable ota, there is a way to do this?
I did it with my tf300t with one-click-transformer-root, and i did same thing with my note 2 lte with framaroot and ota rootkeeper.
I need a way to not lose warranty, and have just root access.
Thank's in advice for answers!

You have to unlock the bootloader to root. You can relock it afterwards if you want to

You can't root without unlocking the bootloader. If you ever have to exchange it under warranty, you can reset the tamper flag and relock the bootloader, they'll be none the wiser.

And if i brick it? My last bricked device was not recognized in anyway by any pc, no adb, no fastboot, just api, but can't fix it.
(and I have not broken it doing stupid things, just installed clockworkmod app from playstore and flash cwm for my device, what's result? after some day i read that cwm dev, put the wrong files in tf300t section, and the app flashed tf101 files)

if you think modifying your device keeps you safe from bricking it, you need to stop rooting your phone and stick to stock.
people make mistakes and your blind following makes you look ignorant and uninformed.

really, I am in the modding since I bought the first galaxy young, and all the developers warn worthy of respect and do not take responsibility for damage to devices, if we do not take resposability we do not public on play google, on google play store a child may install and tap 2 buttons, that is how I publish a tread "Root your galaxy Note 2," and i put inside the kernel of Commodore64, before you speak of ignorance think of ignorance with which you answered without even knowing what we're talking.

I read your post twice and still can't figure out exactly what you're trying to say - you published a thread about rooting your note 2 (by installing and tapping 2 buttons on google play), and put the thread inside the kernel of commodore64? wut?
Your original question was "Can you root without unlocking bootloader" - the answer, as several folks posted (and was mentioned in earlier searchable threads as well) was "No"
Did that answer your question? Or do you have a follow up question? - Not trying to sound rude - just trying to understand if your question has been answered or not.

If you brick a device, it's on you. Why would they replace a device that was damaged by your tampering with it?

Perfect, this man understand what i want to know.
"the note 2 root and commodore, was an example, i was talking about rom manager with tf101 file instead of tf300 when i was installing cwm (for this i lost my tf300, cause hardbricked), and someone tell me that it's my error lol, for this i say:"now i publish an app on google play store that promise u to give root to your note 2 or any other smartphone, and instead of root it flash on your device the commodore64 kernel, and this make ur device broken forever"
My english is not good, but the sense is clear -.-
Close please, BirchBarlow give me all correct answer
I have a warranty, how i can clear my phone from custom rom count, root etc. I've heard about 'Triangle Away', but how can i launch it from "bootloop nexus"? Is there another way?
I have a feeling you're well on your way to "bootloop nexus".
What are you trying to do exactly?? You want to get back to full stock to claim warranty??
- Sent from an IceCold Hammerhead!
There is no flash counter. There is only a tamper flag for when the bootloader is unlocked, read the stickied threads in General and there's a method to reset that.
Google doesn't care if you have any custom firmware/unlocked bootloader/"root" anyways, they'll still honor the warranty, as long as it's a hardware manufacturing fault and not something that came about because of anything you did to it software-wise.

Triangle Away if for Samsung devices that have a Yellow warning triangle after rooting... With a Nexus device you won't have this.

It's about a Yellow Triangle, isn't it? Or you did you mean an inability to hide it from warranty service?
p.s. sorry for my english....
DO NOT use Triangle Away, it is only for Samsung devices. Nexus devices do not have a flash counter, so running Triangle Away serves no purpose and may in fact further damage your device.
Does the Tizen Mod rom make a big difference in functionality?
Does this void my warranty? I'm stupid, so I'll be surfing with the Gear 2 and worried if I ever have to repair it.
Is there a Google Now search hack out? SVoice doesn't seem to work good for word definitions among other things.
Thanks!

Tizen Mod offers a lot of custom features you won't find right out of the box. Provides better battery life and a few other hacks. I don't believe this will void warranty as you can go right back to stock via Odin and haven't seen a trip counter, knox, etc.

As I've said on the other thread there's definitely a counter of some sort. Whether Samsung pays attention to it or nor is another story.

strace /usr/bin/cordon_server . I've found it writes to the param partition all while logging scary things such as "device has been ROOTED" (caps included). It also links with OpenSSL.
(And I suspect that there may be some, slightly more hidden 'tricks').

I obviously cannot redistribute firmware files. Either way reflashing stock firmware won't reset the counter. But I doubt the counter would be causing pairing issues to begin with.

Ok so I was able to download the stock firmware from sammobile. Just needed to sign up to download. But since then I still cannot pair my gear 2 with my phone and have no clue what can be causing this issue.
I have unrooted and reverted back to stock gear 2...no go.
I have uninstalled xposed framework, wiped delvik cache and cache....no go.
I have no idea how to get this up and running again and this watch is only 1 month old.
How can i figure out why the bluetooth pairing is not working anymore. The pairing sequence just hangs and later says" Failed to Connect to your gear via Gear manager. Refer to Manual for more information."
someone please tell me what am I doing wrong or what the hell is going on with this damn device. I am at my wits end with this.
This is offtopic,..

If you've reflashed the Gear plus reverted to factory settings, the the answer regarding what is causing your issue is clear: your phone.

I'm reading other users have the same issue. But yes this is off topic and started a thread to troubleshoot.
Hey everyone, I have the S7 G930V and I was curious if it is possible to root this sucker? Im not afraid of doing a flash root and doing everything manually if I have to, done it before back on the original Droid.
I have tried using Odin and it fails on the first step after starting it.
If anyone has any advice or info on how to root my phone, I would love to hear it.
Thanks
Yes you can root the G930V. Here is how to do it
There is a very very low chance that you will do something bad to your device, such as bricking it. Samsung is great with preventing bricks, especially because the bootloader is locked. I can guarantee you safety.
I have not personally rooted it yet because I'm worried I won't be able to deal with the possible issues. Tell me how your experience goes.

Got it done, worked out just fine. Able to do everything I wanted to do. Although the fix file didn't seem to fix the wifi passwords not being saved. Might try and flash it again and see if I can get it to work.

Wifi is an easy fix in a buid.prop editor. Get a build.prop editor and find a file called ro.securestorage and set it to false. This will fix the problem.
Did you wipe the phone before you rooted? I didn't and got MAJOR performance problems, regardless of the CPU governor control

I wuv videos of people that test your theory in real time, with real blood
Firmware controls hardware... it can damage and destroy it. This is the highest risk level endeavor you can engage in with an Android for multiple reasons.
Limited usage means limited testing and peer review. No reviews mean...
The phase wantonly reckless comes to mind.
