I would like to root my S3, Im from the UK and im on TESCO Mobile. Ive heard that rooting destroys your warranty and ive got a 2 year warranty on my phone that I don't wanna loose. If I root on a stock rom, So stock Touchwiz 4.3 and use triangleaway will it work and successfully set my flash counter back to 0 and not brick my phone?:cyclops:
If i had a 2 year warranty I would not root my phone but that's just me. But it would void your warranty with Samsung. But the loophole in UK law if it is a hardware problem and not software your warranty is still valid.
Maybe this will help you

Ok I'm sending my phone to Samsung but it is rooted and has a ICS rom on it. I's being sent in because the power button is broke do you guys think I need to unroot and lock the boot? Or will they not care its only a hardware issue? If they void my warranty do I have to pay to get it fixed? thanks
Yes, unroot. They won't work on it for free. You will have to pay repair fees. IDK how much.

When unlocking the bootloader didn't it say "your warranty is now void"?

Indeed, I also saw some posts of people saying that. I haven't asked if they paid something or not. Or what their exact situation is. Try asking someone who sent their rooted phone to samsung, maybe they can help.

Your did read the "your warranty is now void" message right?
That statement means your warranty is now void, you can can try to get it repaired for free but don't ***** and whine if they refuse to honor you now VOID warranty
its chill as long as you unroot the phone and relock your bootloader. I have done it. And i got repaired under warranty, they din't even know that it had been rooted.
i agree, i wouldn't take the risk. take a nandroid, back it up to PC (for safety), flash back to full stock and lock your bootloader. when you get it back, unlock, flash recovery and flash your nandroid back.
Yep, i know someone who didn't and he paid all the repair ...

Well if they are in a good mood or technicians who don't care...
I dont think you should unroot. But if you can get it back to stock and unroot it, do it. Better safe than sorry...
about unlocking the bootloader? Well warranty is void. You can better hope they dont notice. or if they do notice it hope they dont care
You have to get it repaired anyway.
I have the transformer for about 2 weeks and I wan't to install a custom rom.
The only thing I'm affraid of is the warranty being void.
So my question is if its likely that i'm going to have any problem with the device whithin 1 year.
I thought this was Q & A, not Crystal Ball?
If you're that worried, root it but don't unlock it. That won't void the warranty. The stock ROM isn't so bad once rooted.

I'm not asking anyone to predict my future... I have the tablet for 2 weeks. I would just like to know if people that have thet ablet for sometime have experienced problems in the hardware.
Best answer is, there is no good answer. Some have, some haven't like me. I chose to root and run stock firmware to keep the warranty, especially since jellybean is coming.

Now that my tablet is over 1 year old, I no longer have a warranty. The main reason why I didn't unlock is because of the warranty. I have rooted my tablet. Is there any disadvantages to unlocking the bootloader if the warranty is expired? Thanks.
None whatsoever.
If you want to try out custom roms just make sure you understand what you are doing. Done correctly there's very little risk involved. But it is possible to brick the tablet if you mess up.

I was searching through diferent threats like http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-root-tool-t3103016/post62164597#post62164597 , all informations says that pingpong root will never work on SM-G920V 5.0.2 G920VVRU2AOF1 or Lolipop 5.1.1 and no one should wait for a PingPong update cause PinPong will never be able to root them, can anybody tell me if some one is trying any other exploit about this built's ?!?!

You can root with CF auto root. This will trip Knox flag (don't know if you care).

As you told me about this method CT Auto Root ( I never heard before) , i was searching online for it and I found the website https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ , i dont know how Knox Flag will effect my Galaxy S6 , but presuming that's not a big deal , the CF Auto Root website doesn't show anything about SM-G920V , or maybe they haven't update all supported models !
Anyway thanks for replying !

auto root does NOT work on verizon or ATT variants since we have locked BL's

@1663 Tripping knox will void your warranty (unless you are in the EU it's debatable). Secondly you won't be able to use Samsung Pay.
I could care less about Samsung Pay. Wherever they accept SP they will accept Google Wallet, for the most part. I just bought mine brand new and it came with this build. I'm really regretting this device. I hope someone roots it, but it may be quite a while.

you guys dont understand lol.. vzw s6/s6e CANNOT trip knox to root the device.. it will fail EVERY time unless someone found a way to unlock the BL and didnt share with anyone.. he is stuck until a new root exploit comes out that doesnt involve custom kernels/unlocked BLs since its not possible on vzw

I was giving general information about what tripping knox does.
I could not wait for someone to root the newest version of lollipop for Verizon, just purchased a rooted phone from Swappa.com and sold my S6. That is a faster way, IMO, Instead of waiting for someone to root OF1.

Well that sucks. I was pretty sure it would work since it was universal. And unless I'm mistaken CF auto root worked on the ATT and Verizon GS4 (my previous phone).

i had both and previous galaxy phones..
the vzw gs4 was the last phone i was able to use custom kernels on.. gs5 however didnt have a tripped knox as towelroot was used and the BL was locked as it is now as well.

Just bought N915F and want to root it to use adblock, TB and call recorder.
Is there any way to root it without tripping knox counter ?
Read about Kingroot but not sure if it safe.
Really tempted but want to know for sure if there is a way to have root (even just until reboot) ?
P.s does app like adblock need to have root access all the time or it enough to give it root once with temporary root (kingroot for example) and it will still work afterwards ?
Thank you for helping.
What firmware do you have?

How can I root it without tripping the knox for sure?
I don't want to update it to lollipop because I read that there are bugs and battery life decrease.

You can't root it yet without tripping knox. Maybe kingroot has an option, you can search for it in play store. They don't have a working solution for lollipop yet, but maybe for kk. You can try, but remember the risks..
Personally I chose to root with cwm and then flashing super su. Knox 0x1...
I'm on 5.0.1 and I don't experience any battery drain compared to kitkat. Nor any bugs. Guess some are unlucky.
Only thing is camera shutter is no longer on the edge, and Facebook notifications can be a little bothersome when you're playing games as they now comes both on edge screen and main screen. Samsung really should do something about this.

There is anyone that tried kingroot and can give his opinion?
If Knox tripped, Samsung won't repair even if it is a hardware problems? I don't care about software services but only about the hardware.

I have heard from ppl that some SC are not that concerned with KNOX.
Personally havent had that pleasure yet.
I rooted my phone today itself. God forbid something bad happens and i am forced to do a trip to SC, and they refuse my warranty on the basis of KNOX, i'll find a way to hard brick it so badly that not even the splash screen would boot up!
After reading and searching, I rooted mine N915F yesterday but only with Chainfire root method. Cf-autoroot didn't work for me.
As for sc, you right! If they won't honor warranty because of knox, making hardbrick will shut them off.
Personally, I have a Nexus 5 and never had Knox or rooting problems but my wife stick to Sami. Have knox on her S4 mini and now on Edge. I really hate Sami for this but as you all know, happy wife = no heading for the husband
