GT - I9515 Noob - Galaxy S 4 General

Hey XDA!
Last week I've bought my new Galaxy S 4 Value Edition. I've accepted to have 2 years of total warranty.
I've asked the guys in the store about warranty void from root. They said, I will lose it if I root my phone. I'm really need root, so now I'm in a big trouble.
My questions :
-How the service guys know , I've rooted? I know about Flash count in download mode , but is Galaxy S4 able to flash it down with Triangle Away?
-Or is there any other ways to know about root?
And the last one:
- If there is a safe method, what will work, and Triangle Away will fix my problem , please notify me about it in the Comments section!
Thanks for the help and Merry Christmas
Developers!

Please Help... Root on Sprocomm X4001

Hello my friends!
First of all, I apologize for my poor english
Few days ago I bought a mobile phone, brand Sprocomm, model X4001
I'm trying to root, but I can not find drivers for this mobile phone in any place.
I need the drivers to try root...
Someone can help me root this phone?
Many thanks guys!!!!
The manufacturer is a new brand company and I think the only way you can get the driver i write an email to [email protected] or [email protected] and attach a link to this thread. I think the world wide support over this forum is a great way to his own company promotion
Regards

Okay...Coming from an IPhone here and reading about all that stuff. I saw other NOTEs with no carrier screen on is there is a difference between mine and the other ones?
Thanks!

Where are my manners, welcome to the forum.
You may want to read up about the process and also the repercussions of rooting. Have you ever Jailbroken an iPhone? Well rooting is the same thing for Android. It will give you access to the root filesystem and will allow you to edit system files to do stuff like, disable the splash screen on boot among other things. If this is all new to you your in for quite a read.
One thing about rooting the Note 3 is it will trip knox, which in turn will void your warranty. You may be lucky and have a model which can be rooted using RDLV, a method which doesn't trip knox and thus preserves your warranty. Knox is a fairly new thing from Samsung, which is designed to provide "advanced data and privacy protection". It is irreversible(at this point in time) and so you will have to weigh up what is more important, root or warranty.

[Q] Help me with ROOT/Installing a custom rom. Verizon SIII Android 4.3

Hello, I would like to install a ROM on my rooted SIII. I used this video and used the file provided by someone on the forums.
It was called "How to root the Samsung Galaxy S3 on Android 4.3" it is created by Qbking77 (I can't post links so please go watch!)
After this video I have a few questions.
1. Did this unlock the bootloader?
2. Can I flash TWRP?
3. Can I flash a custom ROM? (Cyanogen Mod 11 specifically)
4. If flashing ROMS are possible will it trip KNOX?
5. Can I go back to stock TouchWiz from a Custom ROM?
6.Anything else I need to know?
I am a novice in rooting and if you guys have information please post! Thanks!
EDIT: If any admin can move this in the verizon section that would be great..

You probably will have no success changing the manufacturer boot logo. The bootanimation is stored in /system, so with root privileges you can easily change it. The "boot splash" is integrated in the bootloader or a extra partition. For HTC phones you can disable the Security Flag (S-OFF) to get access to the needed partition. For Some Samsung phones you can change the "splash" also, but I really doubt you will find any information about such a "exotic" phone yet. At least I can't find anything at the moment
It can be changed log.bin file needed flashing it of ur custom boot will replace it by factory !

Bootanimation.zip is for all android phones. "LOG.bin" is just for specific manufacturers. And I suppose he needs a STEP-by-STEP guide specific for his phone. The given informations are not very specific
We are very glad if we will know in details on how to with direct guide and instruction. thanks again for your patient and hospitality.

He said he flashed a .zip that would only be having the bootanimation.zip so it changed boot animation partially !

I can make a zip that can turn ur factory logo to "GOOGLE" like in nexus want that then PM me !

To me any sound is OK, I would never remove them ... For the battery , it is also possibel to have battery percentage show without root , on the other hand Viper4Android is good as I have rooted S4 with CM 12.1 and it is good but not soo good in my opinion so I would root my new S6 ( even as I payed it much less then full price, but I want to have warranty if I need it) ... Only reason I rooted s4 was because of some problems on stock ... But that is other story ...
And the thing that I have with non rooted s6 are just as good or better ( personal preference) then any custom room I have ever seen since my first android phone I had ....

Samsung usually only checks if Knox was ever tripped when you send it in with a software Problem. I've send mine in even still with twrp on it and the screen with the dead pixel was replaced on warranty.
