Hi all,
today I've updated my S6 (920F) to 5.1.1. It was a mint S6 32Gb carrier locked to MEO (Portugal) and I've updated it with odin with the TPH version (Portugal unlocked). Strange thing happened when I've went again after flashing I went to download mode to check knox and it has a awkward status: KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x0000). So...I have 1 for Void but 0x0000 which is normaly not void. Can anyone tell me what happened?
thanks in advance
Anyone?!

If you use Odin the phone will be 0x1, all root method do that too, even recovery.
And i like how xda advertise to have working recovery without tripping knox...
Quite expensive phone and still you troll people...
I know 1 thing through, knox tripped or not still a great phone, even through it still have too mjuch software installed that are NOT needed.

Hello,
I rooted my phone (S6) by using ping pong root application, then i unrooted and then i wiped the data and cache.
Now - Download Mode
The Knox Warranty Void is 0. Binary and System are official.
But,
AP SWREV and KERNEL AP SWREV are 1
Is the warranty still available?
Sorry for my poor English
Thank you
23 hits and no replies
I think your warranty is still on
No, i didn't use Odin, i used application(apk) for root.
Thank you for replies!
Can somebody who didn't root his/her phone check the download mode? Is it the same?
confirmed same in mine

unrooted original untouchable S6?
Yes
After buying the phone, if there is a mechanical problem, in 30 days time i can change it with brand new one. At night time the photos are blurred sometimes. I can send it to the service. I don't know.
Thank you!
Is it normal under fluorescent light blurred photos?
Hi Guys!
(I don't care whole knox thing, even warranty)
Can i still get ota updates if i got knox warranty void 0x1(phone into *samsung*)?
Of course i flashed stock firmware back with odin.
In downloading mode i get
Current Status: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Knox warranty void: 1 (0*0301)
Knox doesnt affect ota updates. Only root disables ota.
Is it possible to set the code back? Im on 5.1.1

What do you mean by absolutely not? I thought Triangle Away resets the KNOX tripping. And I was reading it still worked on S6... Are you saying it's impossible to "un-trip" KNOX now?

Triangle away doenst reset the Knox counter, it resets the flash counter. This is very different.
There is no tool which can reset the Knox counter.

So the two years that I've had my S5 rooted, my warranty was voided and irreversible? Huh. I've never needed any assistance from Sprint and I'm hoping I won't now. Makes me feel better to know that I'm in no different a position than I have been. I just have to hope my phone works perfectly.
Would that affect my ability to sell my S5 back to Sprint? Sorry if I'm not on this thread's topic exactly... Should I end my line of questioning in this thread?
Just keep flashing the latest updates on your own by getting stock firmware and using Odin, that's what I would do if I ever went back to a non-rooted device - might go back just to try Samsung Pay.
Hello ,
I have previously successfully rooted my galaxy S6 using PingPong without tripping the KNOX Counter . Unfortunately now i have some issues with the phone's connector and i'm planning to send it to warranty . I have 2 questions here :
1- KNOX flag is still on 0 but the phone is rooted , will it be accepted on warranty in this state ?
2- If I unroot my phone using the SU app "Delete Root" functionnality would that increase my KNOX Counter ?
Thanks for your help
Does anyone knows at least the answer for the 2nd question ?

I don't have the answers for your questions, but if you flash a stock firmware through Odin, or if you update the phone using Smart Switch (Kies for newer models) you'll lose root, and Knox will not be tripped.

I thought about that too but the problem here is that the connector is not working anymore ( that's the reason i'm sending it back to warranty ) unless there's a way to do a flash without an USB cable ?

1. Yes they will accept it for warranty
2. No this will not increase your KNOX counter.
So you can send it to warranty.
// Thank me if I helped you

PingPong root http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016
Hello guys. Just a short but very important question. I'll root my S7 Edge incl. TWRP. I've made some experience in past with rooting, customizing and so on... In almost every case I noticed performance issues. In past I tried do flash the stock firmwares to get it to the original back again, but I didn't get any offcial updates about OTA. Its my first Samsung smartphone and I read there is a problem with Knox (security system for customization).
So: If I root and so on, is there any REAL solution to get it in the current untouched original state back incl. the untouched Knox status? (can I completely backup the current firmware and data so that have in case of issue just to flash it back?)
Hope you understand my thoughts

thank you. so it could be possible in future to set an almost changed knox value to 0x0? or just to prevent any change of the knox?
just another thought about bypassing knox... if it would be possible wouldn't it be a >big< security problem for samsung payment? not just for the costumer but for the seller?
what is actually the best method of rooting? is threre any difference? i found the CF auto root and the TWRP method (rooting after flashing the recovery). Just the difference between recovery or not?

Hi
Bypass knox bit setting to one , has been possible in older models and there been some progress and success in the S7 family but resetting it back to 0 never been possible
The e fuse 0 x 1 is not a security issue at all is just a way for Samsung to know you been messing with the device , you can reflash a stock firmware (odin) , have the knox bit set and be 1000% safe and knox security cover...

yea for sure. but when you could costumize the software and the knox wouldn't change, samsung payment would be fully functional, you know? or doesn't it matter for samsung payment, if you change the knox value or not?

Samsung payment or knox does not care about the e fuse ( 0x 1 ) state , it cares about the integrity of the firmware installed , for example if stock firmware is flashed knox will see the system as original regardless of the e fuse state

That goes against everything I've seen about Samsung Pay (or even Knox). Once you've tripped it (0x1) there's no way to get it back. Samsung Pay will not work even if you re-flash stock (unrooted) rom.

Hi

Hey guys been away for a while so not clued up on current affairs with rooting.
Is there a way to root without tripping it, if so could you link me i have UK plus version.
Thanks guys
Also can we put un branned rom on the phone without tripping it
Didn't understand your second message
There is no way to root the Galaxy S8 without tripping knox.
After a year, there is still no way to root the Galaxy S7 without tripping knox. So don't hope a root without knox tripping because it will probably never happen. Knox security is too high
Flashing anything with Odin will flag 0x1 on knox. So there is no way to flash TWRP and keep your warranty. And no way to flash anything else without loosing your warranty.
Thank you for the information

This is correct. Other poster appeared to say that anything flashed (signed) will also trip knox.
So i can use BTU without tripping Knox ?

Early on they found a way to root the S7 without tripping, if I remember correctly, but it got patched up pretty quick.

Yep. I rooted mine and didnt trip it but it was a really buggy root and even after all the patch fixes it was still bad so I went back to stock. NO knox trip.

Do u mind sharing what u did? Previously I used Huawei Mate 9, rooted the phone caused the phone display a warning message during boot up that indicates the phone has been modified. However, the message was gone when I flashed a stock rom. Does it the same like Samsung phone? (Rooted the phone will trigger knox, re-flash stock rom will revert the knox to 0x0)

This was for the s7 using an engineering bootloader that was rootable, the current s8 engineering bootloader doesn't seem to be rootable.
