Is all you need to guarantee the success of a warranty to unroot the phone after rooting it (and flashing a ROM)? Some friends tell me that running an app called Triangle away is needed and also locking bootloader is also required. Is this true, and if so, would there be anything else I'd need to do if I rooted my phone and wanted to claim it back? Sorry but If you can't root and claim back your phone, it seems like an extremely risky move to make..
Thanks

Yes, basicaly you have to flash the latest 4.4.2 factory image and after that relock the bootloader and reset the tampered flag. Read the OP of the link serveral times so you understand what to do. You will also need adb (android-sdk platform-tools) for this if you haven`t installed it allready.
Link for adb download http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r22.3-windows.zip and here is a link to set it up on your pc http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/. Good luck

Asking questions about what you don't understand rather than jumping into the unknown makes you a smart man in my book.

I was searching through diferent threats like http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-root-tool-t3103016/post62164597#post62164597 , all informations says that pingpong root will never work on SM-G920V 5.0.2 G920VVRU2AOF1 or Lolipop 5.1.1 and no one should wait for a PingPong update cause PinPong will never be able to root them, can anybody tell me if some one is trying any other exploit about this built's ?!?!

You can root with CF auto root. This will trip Knox flag (don't know if you care).

As you told me about this method CT Auto Root ( I never heard before) , i was searching online for it and I found the website https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ , i dont know how Knox Flag will effect my Galaxy S6 , but presuming that's not a big deal , the CF Auto Root website doesn't show anything about SM-G920V , or maybe they haven't update all supported models !
Anyway thanks for replying !

auto root does NOT work on verizon or ATT variants since we have locked BL's

@1663 Tripping knox will void your warranty (unless you are in the EU it's debatable). Secondly you won't be able to use Samsung Pay.
I could care less about Samsung Pay. Wherever they accept SP they will accept Google Wallet, for the most part. I just bought mine brand new and it came with this build. I'm really regretting this device. I hope someone roots it, but it may be quite a while.

you guys dont understand lol.. vzw s6/s6e CANNOT trip knox to root the device.. it will fail EVERY time unless someone found a way to unlock the BL and didnt share with anyone.. he is stuck until a new root exploit comes out that doesnt involve custom kernels/unlocked BLs since its not possible on vzw

I was giving general information about what tripping knox does.
I could not wait for someone to root the newest version of lollipop for Verizon, just purchased a rooted phone from Swappa.com and sold my S6. That is a faster way, IMO, Instead of waiting for someone to root OF1.

Well that sucks. I was pretty sure it would work since it was universal. And unless I'm mistaken CF auto root worked on the ATT and Verizon GS4 (my previous phone).

gs4 had a root method/loki on mdk bootloader and earlier..
vzw gs5 was towelroot with safestrap..
i had both and previous galaxy phones..
the vzw gs4 was the last phone i was able to use custom kernels on.. gs5 however didnt have a tripped knox as towelroot was used and the BL was locked as it is now as well.

Hello all,
I read a lot of stuff here about root but I couldn't find an exact answer to what I look for.
I would like to know if rooting:
1. Loses the fingerprint?
2. If xposed Amplify really helps improving the standby drain or other xposed app. (at the moment I am sitting at between 0.8%-1.1% / hour overnight and I find it unacceptable)
3. Main disadvantage if rooted (besides loosing warranty because I don't care)
thank you.

1. No you will not lose the fingerprint sensor, even custom kernels have now fingerprint support.
2. Yes it does, I'm using it and I couldn't be any more happier.
3. The main disadvantage is that when an update arrives, then the only way to update is via smart switch ( a pc application) and you will have to re-root after that, though I don't consider it as a problem.
A big thanks to you kid xda user.
Cheers

I thought after knox is tripped there's no way to get an ota update, does smart switch wipe the phone and install a new firmware or just update without wiping?

It basically installs a new firmware, but I think it doesn't wipe your apps or pictures, but root will be gone and besides the Knox flag, your phone will return to official status.

Cf autoroot with Knox tripped
The international version of the S7, the Exynos-based SM-G930F, can be rooted e.g. using the CF auto root kernel.
I'm not aware your SM-G930T (T-Mobile USA) already can.

Has anybody been able to enter the Samsung beta Program?
Dumping files for us for G930T? The G930F already posted the Odin files for Nougat Beta
yes
The 14th should be when it's released to the accepted registered beta testers. The dates are posted in the beta app
9th for Sprint, 11th for Verizon, 14th for TMO
Thanks every one, hope someone dump does files for us
Whoever gets the update tomorrow. PULL THR UPDATE ZIP!
If I get it I will and post it. I have ready done this from my wife's sprint edge variant.
Here is how you do it:
You have to be on the latest firmware and not rooted.
If you get the update notification.
Download it, but do not install it.
Then root your device. DO NOT WIPE IT
The update.zip is located in /data/fota/update.zip
Pull it using adb or use root Explorer to move it to the root of your SDCard and then your pc.
Please wait for someone to verify it works before flashing the update or unroot.
Unfortunately I will not be able to pull said update as I do not want to root my device. I require working Knox and other benefits.

After you root you can go back to stock, then flash the latest update.zip you shared with everyone. Knox and everything will work just fine

Only on the Exynos S7.
We use an engineering kernel that's signed by Samsung for root, so it doesn't trip Knox.
The root method for us doesnt trigger knox.
If I could Pull the update.zip It would be a pleasure but it was Full for register when I tried.
I'll see if I can pull the file for you gentlemen and ladies. I just don't really need root so I have not put attention to the rooting method since the note 5?

Thanks for trying no matter what man!
Us AT&T users feel left out, so this would help.
So I have a galaxy s6 original from att, I could never get it to root. I just switched over to tmobile, I have unlocked the phone and installed the newest update. Still will not root. What am I missing? What the hell is going on, there is no way I have the only unrootable s6. Side note spell check does not like "unrootable". Any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance.
