Does installing a custom recovery trip the flash counter? Does tripping the flash counter void the warranty? If so is there a way to install a custom recovery and rom with out tripping the flash counter? Thanks

As the title says, is there a way to flash custom Recovery TWRP and install custom ROMs via that without tripping the KNOX counter? Thanks
Search and you will find the answer is NO
I've read some methods like the kingo method and the chainfire method, but I don't know really.
Sorry for the 8 year late post
Is there a way to Unroot without flashing stock or tripping KNOX?
Thank you
I had my G920F rooted and I unrooted it with flashing a stock firmware with Odin.

Flashing the stock firmware through Odin is the only way I am aware of that will unroot.
It will not touch KNOX, but it does require a computer. Works every time.
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!
Im planing on selling my phone in 6 months but the company i want to sell it too does not accept rooted phones. Is there anyway to root and flash standard ROM back without triggering knox?
thanks
Just flash stock ROM onto device via Odin

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.
I need to get to Knox 0x0.
I am willing to temporarily give up my custom rom and root and custom recovery by flashing stock rom using ODIN.
Will this get rid of knox 0x1? and restore knox 0x0?
thank you
i believe that once its tripped its tripped for good
Yes, you cant, ever. once you trip it, it is impossible to get back.
