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!

Hi guys thought id open a new thread for discussion about root issues some are facing on 4.3 with custom kernels and recovery issues.
Seems like you dont have to fash the new bootloader but if you already did then this thread is for you please feel free to post findings and solutions.
Bootloader
Has any one tried downgrading to olderbootloader?
Hey guys...
It seems like its very unclear on updating to 4.3 w/o triggering knox on the i9500
I have been reading that you will be stuck in bootloop simply flashing a 4.3 custom rom via CWM if you are on a 4.2.2 ROM? I have read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494509 but I am still unclear on updated to a 4.3 based TW rom without triggering knox 0x1
Can we simply flash a stock 4.3 tar file in odin without triggering knox?
Tried to change bootloader
Hi guys,
Initially I've installed INS-I9500XXUEMJ5 through Odin v3.09 which did not trigger the warranty bit. I had an issue with the notification bar which will get stuck after a call. I had to make an another call / dial a number to view the notification bar again. After 4 days i found an updated version INU-I9500XXUEMJ8 and installed through Odin v3.09. This install did not affected the warranty bit . The same problem with the notification bar existed. I thought of installing a different stock bootloader and it triggered the warranty bit to 1. Also, the device was not booting up. But luckily download mode came and i installed the same firmware which made my device working. But the warranty bit was still 1.

Yes you can flash stock through odin and it wont increase warranty bit, if you root then warranty bit will be triggered
If my phone have the let`s say swedish stock ROM and I update to Polish stock ROM that is a later build date via Odin... do I still get OTA`s for my phone or how does it work?! no knox tripped and all stock, just flashed another stock ROM via odin.
Hi! No tripped knox with odin: flash with stock rom and you keep ota ! Knox is tripped with flashing ,custom recovery or custom kernel auto cfroot.

ahh ok thanx! so it is only when Knox is tripped the OTA stops? will I still get the OTA like the swedesh one (kind of late sometimes) or will I get it with the Polish one?
As long as you are stock with no root and stock recovery OTA works - doesn't matter about knox.
I was rooted (with Knox tripped) but flashed the stock Vodafone over the top to get rid of root a twrp and the ota worked fine.

If I remember correctly when I read the s4 forums a while back you will receive the OTAs for the firmware you downloaded (so you'll get Polish OTA and not the Swedish ones) but I'm not completely sure on that.
I am having a problem with S6(G920 F) .
It won't turn on and when I try to enter recovery there's a yellow phrase in bottom of the screen "dm-verify verification failed"
I wasn't trying to root or anything.
I searched for the problem and a solution is the flash stock firmware via odin but I want to know if I get the stock firmware from sammobile and flashed it via odin , will that void my warranty or trigger the know counter ?
Flashing stock firmware will not tick the Knox counter. This is one way Samsung recomends software updates if kies does not work for you.
My brand new j7 got stuck on the samsung logo so now I have decided to flash the official firmware from sammobile. I just wanted to know that will it trip the counter ? I have never rooted or flashed anything unofficial.
Thanks

You can flash ur stock rom without rooting, if you root your you will not get warranty because of Knox app.

I don't want to root it I only wanted to know that flashing through odin will trip the counter or not.

As a matter of fact it will. And as far as I know you need to install custom recovery (TWRP) to flash rom without tripping knox and according to present context you do not have any other option for installing TWRP other than using odin itself which in turn trips your knox eventually.

It is in warranty as you said "brand new" so don't take a chance, go to the official samsung store and discuss with them the problem.
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.
