KNOX Warranty Void? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have only ever used PingPong and my KNOX WARRANTY VOID reads: 1 (0x0202)
Does this mean it was tripped somehow? Or am I mis-reading it?

Ping-Pong should not trip Knox, but you can try using this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bryancandi.knoxcheck&hl=en it should tell you right away if it's voided or still valid when you open the app, you can alternatively search for "Knox Status Samsung" to get the app

It's tripped. Not sure how. I've only installed PingPong and done built.prop edits.

Damn that's an unfortunate case as I've been doing exactly what you did and even flashing Zips with FlashFire but still not tripped

Really wish I knew what I did.

General questions before i get the phone

Hi,
I have had to get a new phone and have decided on the honor 8 due to specs and vides i have watched, also the price it retails for was a big factor how ever i have come from the LG G3 (it set on fire -_-)
Is it worth me unlocking the boot loader and what exactly are the benefits to it ?
I will want to root the phone as i use apps that require this will i void warranty or will i be able to undo this and keep warranty ?
Also i do like the TWRP i had on my G3 but only for the backup option, is it worth me changing the recovery as i have noticed no custom roms anyway and by the looks there is a tool that i can use for backups ?
Thanks for reading
Unlocking bootloader won't get you much (only custom recovery now).
Honor don't void warranty if you unlock the bootloader or root the device
And for me, it's not worth to flash TWRP now, no custom ROMs and it doesn't work with all models
perfect thank you for the response that everything i need to know, now im just waiting as i have 24 hours before my phone is delivered aha.
Enjoy
Don't unlock your bootloader and just enjoy your phone as much as possible at this stage.
Unlock maybe 1 year later...

If I have the honor 8, I will unlock it once there's a beta custom ROM

Same here, once theres Rom to flash, unlocking will happen:fingers-crossed:

Well...at least having root is a start. That way he can install root apps. It was like that on a few devices I had, but was grateful on at least having root. IMJS

What is the benefits of Google assistant? It sounds like an annoying app that I would uninstall as fast as I can say "bloatware" :laugh:
But I don't know the app so that's why I'm asking

How can I activate Bixby Voice outside the US?

I really want to try out the Bixby Voice feature. Unfortunately, it doesn't available in my country.
Has anyone figured out the way to activate it internationally?

No that wont your right, it will wipe your device however.
Flashing twrp to be able to flash the zip in your thread will as we know lol....they should see in the twrp the warning about knox however.
If not people should pay more attention lol
I tried it and its working KIND of. Every "normal" Bixby Voice command works. But when I try to use a "plugin" like WhatsApp it sais "Cant update third party plugin"

Slow awakening

Hello guys, i think i'm having some troubles with the power button awake. When the display goes off and i try to unlock it with the power button after about 30 seconds, sometimes it takes almost 2 seconds to wake up. I already did a factory reset yesterday, but the problem keeps coming. What could it be?
UPDATE: I noticed that this problem occurs also with the fingerprint, not just with the power button.
Are you on EMUI or a custom ROM?!
EMUI of course.

just flashing another firmware will not void warranty unless you unlock bootloader or root your device...
if its in warranty why bother doing it by yourself just claim warranty..

I could claim but I don't know if they will understand my problem.. probably they will give the fault to some app or something that I did. That's why I asked to you guys before, I'm gonna try this firmware thing first.

S6 KNOX Tripped - New Firmware

Hi all,
I tried to flash a new firmware to my S6 but got a message stating KNOX Tripped. I took it into the Samsung store and the couldn't flash a new firmware. I've emailed a phone repair company explaining my situation they said they could flash a new firmware with the KNOX Tripped message. Is this true? Why couldn't Samsung do it?
Thanks, Kristof

Those who rooted, do you have GPay working? if yes how?

I assumed I could use Gpay after rooting but it doesn't work.
Anyone got it working

After rooting device, you sacrifice Knox related items like Samsung pay, secure folder etc
Gpay was supposed to work but requires some tweaks

I dunno. Being able to use my phone to pay at legacy POS terminals is pretty awesome. Even if samsung pay doesn't get adopted as a mobile payment standard, MST still works fine.
Hell I'm working in Korea and I can pay bills, pay for all forms of transit, shop online, and send money from messages with Samsung pay. Even my Gear S3 being able to use MST is awesome, allowing me to make 10 purchases before the next time it pair back to my phone.
I'd hardly say it's overrated. It's a feature. Just like being rooted is a feature. It's utility depends on the user.
