Does installing a custom recovery trip the flash counter? Does tripping the flash counter void the warranty? If so is there a way to install a custom recovery and rom with out tripping the flash counter? Thanks
Hi guys, tomorrow i will get my new Galaxy S6 (920F)
I know the PingPong root to get root without tripping knox and FlashFire will also let me flash custom roms without the KNOX being affected.
But i cant find a debloated rom without Aroma (unsupported by flashfire)
Can you please help me?
Even a clean stock international ROM that doesn't trip knox and can be rooted with pingpong root would be ok
same question! :good:
I don't care about tripping Knox, I have searched for this but I can't find a straight answer
I am on the stock rom with pingpong root
I want to go to xtrestolite 5.1.1
All I could find was xtrestolite 5.02 to 5.1.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61601130&postcount=910
I have Galaxy S6 running 5.1.1 stock rom.
The only reason I need root so xposed could be installed. What is the best way to root and install recovery without loosing any data?
Not worried about tripping knox etc.
Thanks

simple flash a custom recovery injected with root, like chainfire's or TWRP using odin

I have just bought an S6, finally moving from LG G3 (where things were simpler to root).
I have spent a few hours reading about the possibilities of rooting, flashing whilst not tripping Knox and have a few queries regarding some of the procedures.
I am lucky enough to be on 5.0.2 (G920FXXU1AOCV) which is supported by PingPong root method and Kingroot. I would like to upgrade to Marshmallow without tripping Knox and therefore keeping my warranty.
I am just querying the steps required to do this, I am of the understanding that these are the steps:
1. Root with PingPong
2. Flash TWRP via Odin/Flashfire
3. Flash whichever marshmallow related rom, kernel, mods, xposed framework etc I desire through TWRP (or is Odin/flashfire the only method that doesn't trip Knox)?
Will root remain after flashing marshmallow?
Will I need to change the bootloader at all?
before flashing a marshmallow rom, you have to get the latest bootloader. i don't know if there is another way than flashing it through odin. using this method you lose your root.
also, if you install a different kernel, it's most likely to lose root too.
and with xposed, you need a deodexed firmware at the moment. it's recommended to install a deodexed rom with a clean install. i think, you'll lose root, too.
If you flash TWRP or custom kernel via any method (TWRP, Flashfire, Odin vs), knox will be tripped.
There's NO way to use 6.0.1&root without tripping Knox.
