Hey guys
So I have been reading on knox and how it trips warranty.. I am ok with that..
But there is probably only couple of ROM available for EXYNOS ? It is worth rooting? some other forums was reading about instability of bootloaders plaguing the custom rom phones with issues?

I have the same question at all
There are loads of ROMs available for Exynos S7
Anything that relies on KNOX will not run after tripping (If you are on Nougat) such as S.Health, Android/Samsung Pay etc etc
Possible workarounds on the forum to get them working again, plenty of info around, read some threads

Thanks.. is there a thread or list of what exactly doesn't work after rooting and will never work? My concern is that if I root it and want to sell it in future (even after restore) buyer won't be able to use Samsung Pay / Health etc..

SHealth needs a build.prop tweak to work. Samsung Pass, Knox containers and Samsung Pay will need a custom ROM to work again. You shouldn't sell the device without telling the buyer it is Knox tripped and what that involves. Android Pay will still work as tripping Knox doesn't trigger SafetyNet
I rooted my S7 the day I purchased it, haven't gotten any issues ever since. ROOT is a worthy trade-off for voiding KNOX in my opinion.

Hi
If I get stock rom with Smart Switch, will that enable Samsung Pay again or once rooted, it's gone forever? (Rooted with CF-Autoroot).
Thanks in advance

I believe that Samsung may have confirmed that once Knox is tripped, that's it. No more Samsung Pay.

Well, as you can see someone knew. There is almost always someone that have some information or heard something somewhere. I just couldn't find any information myself.

I think Bloodrain's point is that it is hard to tell what can be circumvented with system hacking.
I could have answered and told you that Samsung directly told me that rooting will trip Knox and both disable Samsung pay as well as the warranty, but I didn't because all I know is what Samsung told me - not what is necessarily true or possible. Add in the fact that Samsung Pay hasn't launched yet, we just can;t know for sure as it can't be tested.
This is the first phone I'm not rooting, because I prefer to be 100% sure that Samsung Pay remains intact, but I also wont be surprised if someone manages a code fix to Knox.
All that said, I agree with Bloodrain, we just can't 100% know yet.

Well that was a more in-depth answer. Thanks for it.
Hello, I have read this thread and I want to know if this tutorial could work for our Galaxy S6 with PingPongRoot.
Has anyone tried it?
Thanks.
Hello,
It will work without impacting Knox if you only want to get root.
But when you will install a custom recovery to flash custom ROM ---> Knox +1...
No choice from now.
Ah cool. I don't feel so bad for tripping knox prior to ping-pong. I don't really mind Samsung pay at the moment anyway.

Seems like someone managed to flash a custom ROM on the S6 using FlashFire without tripping Knox: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433/post60748708
Hello, I deleted a video and I would like to recover it, it seems most android recovery apps require a rooted phone. I don't plant to install any custom roms or recoveries, or kernels, I just want to be able to retrive my deleted files.
Any rooting method for the S6 Edge G920i variant?
Thank you
Of course no one would reply

Unfortunately it seems you haven't noticed the ridiculous number of threads and posts here on XDA that explain, in no uncertain terms, that you cannot gain root access on a Galaxy S6 running Lollipop 5.1.1 without tripping your Knox counter. Yes, your warranty will be voided, but when you have a heap of support here on XDA your issues can often be solved without the need to return the device to the retailer for repair.
This thread explains about the rooting process, and offers one of the best solutions available for the G920I...

My apologies on behalf of other peeps here that may have ignored your cries for help; it's just that we get so many n00bs asking 'how do I root my phone without tripping Knox?' before they use their heads and research the subject, it's gotten quite aggravating...
Hope you get sorted out, and for further details, try reading my Helper Posts...
Hey guys,
today i switched from my beloved Note 3 to the S7, so i have some questions:
What does tripping KNOX have as downsides appart from not being able to use the KNOX apps( as on my Note 3) and loosing my warranty (which does not affect me as a EU citizen) have?
There is no KNOX 0x0 root for the S7 yet, right? only the CF-Root which does trip KNOX.
Does anyone have experience with the S7 and the GearVR? How is it?
Only one custom Rom (Super Man) for this device? For the Note 3 there were dozens...
I read that i will never get AOSP Roms or CM on the S7? Is that still true or are people finding ways to achieve this?
Thanks in advance

None other known issues for Knox 0x1.
Yes no known root without tripping the else.
GearVR is fun. Look at the gearvr forum.
Yes only one active custom rom for now.
Time will tell about aosp and cm. If bootloader unlock will come sometime for the sd variant I guess there will be. And if there comes working kernel sources for the exynos then maybe they get an aosp rom.
loosing my warranty (which does not affect me as a EU citizen)

This is not true, I rooted and installed a ROM, was unhappy with it and went back to stock ROM with no root. I use Samsung Pay all the time.

6 months ago it was true.........and i think still is
On this thread they claim is possible to have Samsung pay on a knox tripped device...but
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/knox-samsung-pay-root-t3549935
No real proof on thread that is really working.....
full stock and knox tripped i do not think so
If device is less than a year old
Contact samsung a claim a warrenty repair, i called uk line & it was an automatic service i was sent a box to return it with ups & i got a refurb phone 10 days later, i might of been luck though
