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.

Hi,
I Rooted my Sprint GS5 the other day so that I could use Tasker to kill apps. I didn't flash a new ROM. I was reading about UnRooting, and all of the walkthroughs talk about flashing the stock ROM. If I havent flashed a new ROM since I rooted, if I were to unroot, is it a requirement to flash the stock ROM?
Most likely, yes. You would have to flash back. On my SGS4 mini I used a tool that had an UnRoot option.

I don't see why you'd have to flash a stock rom as you're already on it. What's the reason you wan't to unroot? You've already tripped the knox counter and there's no going back from that. :crying:

Since the user documented processes specify it, i wasn't sure if it was safe to just ignore the step.
Regarding the knox count, does that just affect warranty, or will that also affect ability to receive OTA updates? I was looking to unroot because I was expecting the 4.4.3 OTA update any day.
thanks!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that what effects an OTA update is whether you installed a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM.
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've found a couple of ROM's and the root method did work but I am unable to get a custom recovery for the model I have and I don't want to be stuck with a brick.
Model: SM-G920i and attached is a screen shot. I'm just hesitant to try anything because it's a generic S6 not tied to any of the major carriers so flashing back could be difficult as I don't have the custom ROM.
Anyone?

You can also use flashify from playstore for custom recovery, or pingpong root for rooting.
Flashing custom recovery will void your warranty.
What firmware are you on? I have the 920i, and I had problems flashing twrp until I upgraded my firmware with kies and odin.

What I did was flash it via kies and it went back a stock non carrier branded version and then twrp took and now I'm enjoying my custom ROM.
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!
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.
