You root you broke warranty
You did anything other than dropping and using it you broke the warranty.

I didn't see a thread relating.
so my dilemma is i bought a galaxy tab 2 10.1 3g version off eBay unknowing it had the china rom installed... most of the Google apps arn't there and kies doesn't work.
i saw this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686514
and was wondering if i can just do the first steps of istalling the ROM without having to root it as i dont want to void the warranty. and also is this ROM the international ROM??? many thanks in advance.
yes you can just do the first step without proceed to flashing custom recovery and rooting
however, you should know that firmware flashing via Odin will result to flash binary counter increased, so technically your device will lose warranty as well...
I doubt Samsung will honor your warranty
I have an american purchased p3113 and was informed by their online support for warranty it can only be honored if picked up from an address in the country of purchase. You could log in to the samsung support site to verify your warranty situation if it concerns you.
why's it void my warranty

flash binary counter is what samsung use as mechanism to detect flashing firmwares without using official tools provided by samsung ota or via samsung kies... also as their alibi not to be held responsible if consumer modified/upgrading without official tools...
ok, here's a good thing, i've heard & read from users experience in forums, blogs & my own friends have their samsung devices sent to back to samsung centers & got their warranty claims granted even with rooted or flash binary counter increased... more about luck i guess... :fingers-crossed:
im guessing theres no way around it? thats definately lucky, probably comes down to if its hardware problem or program problem to whether or not they need to check it.
as for now for our device, i can only say there is no other way
Thats the worst

Dude...your knox warranty is ok.It should be 0x1 if is voided.
Do not root at this time.it will void your warranty.Wait for some knox friendly root method.Anyway...my i9505 had knox status 0x1 and i had it replaced in warranty (by Orange Romania) for a faulty display.

well i see that i am not voided knox cause i get before upgraded device to official state again. then its no problem.
the thing is i only wanted warn the rest before they upgrade to 4.3
cause i think when you upgrade with a device wich have custom state you will maybe receive a knox waranty void 0×1 after the upgrade.
cheers and have a nice christmass

would this France 4.3 firmware work here in uk
you guys should not install the official 4.3 update if you care about root and custom ROMS in future, wait for custom ROMS instead without the crap KNOX

Its true what hes says ---> if you care Root dont Flash 4.3 Firmware!!!
I tested it.
If you root with 4.3 you got mass "Knox alert messages" in android !!!!! and you void Knox warranty to 0x1 in bootloader!!!!
The other thing you can not use anymore Heimdall or Odin(dont support 4.3 firmwares!!!!!) to flash anything on your phone also kies 2.6 you can not use anymore ..............have to update to 3.2 .... <--- everything tested!!
After i recognized theres nothing to do on this "super 4.3 firmware" i tried in terminal with abd shell dd commands to downgrade the Bootloader to go back 4.2.2 and what is the result ^^ -->
Phone is now hardbricked got only blackscreen nothing boots up !!! and i am using now a Nokia 3710 Fold till 30.12.2013 then i get rechanged my I9506 by a new one from servicecenter....
Again if you need root and dont want "knox warranty void" in your Bootloader STAY ON 4.2.2 !!!
Sorry for Caps

Sure i can help you but you want really this 4.3 with "knox warranty void" in Bootloader ??
With odin and heimdall you cant flash 4.3 ... not supported!!
So if you dont care i can advice you how you update to 4.3 just do a post with text in it "yes help me please"
And dont blame if you want go back to 4.2.2 after updated to 4.3 .... cause its not possible by normal methods ... only with JTAG i think you can downgrade to 4.2.2 !!!

hello, have you found a solution to this? if you have please provide it, i got the same atm. Thanks
While on 4.2.2, try to flash in Odin only following 3 parts: boot (don't mess with aboot!!), cache, system. Don't flash any other parts.
There parts are enough to fully upgrade to android 4.3.
It's better to avoid flashing modem from 4.3 because it has KNOX enabled bootloader image inside and may update it at any time by itself.
Probably, you won't be able to boot android with stock boot.img because of LKM authentication, but you may try. It won't brick your device. If you won't flash any other (except these 3) parts, then you always can boot into download mode and flash 4.2.2 parts ad still don't have any KNOX mentions in download mode.
Most likely, you will need custom kernel (boot.img) in order to continue to use old bootloader with android 4.3.

Since i have no clue about what you mean by only flash three parts, i got one file and one file only, its a .md5. ho do i just flash some parts of it if even possible? and im not even sure i should flash that file since it's 4.3.
i would like to be pointed in the direction of a step to step help thingy, like i require this, and when i got it, do this. Thanks
I flashed 4.3 and rooted to get my secmms out then flashed 4.3 again via Odin and no problems. Well my knox warranty is void but I don't give a damn. Des will find something for that.

was anyone able to fix it, all i have achieved is installing twrp on it but still unable to fix the problem
i had the same problem and i solved it by flashing stock room again through ODIN mode (i hope u can enter it ,if not i really don't know what to do but just try what i said,worked for me)
Another option is to bring your S6 back to Samsung for warranty repair.

HI Shahan7.
Have you found a way of putting a custom recovery to work with a S6 live demo unit? Need to get it to work in order to be able to install 5.1.1 on it ( as OTA doesn't work for me anymore). Can you help? Did u find a solution for your demo unit? If so, please share with the community.Thanks.

Try and reflash your firmware with odin...
Beyond that if it doesnt work try a custom rom.
If thats a no go it could be a hardware issue i spose.

Nope.
For odin flash just download the correct firmware unzip it and flash.
For a custom rom you will need twrp to flash it as they are flashed as zip files.
Im wondering though if doing either may be beyond your current evel of knowledge based on your question about root. Best to read up on both if I were you.

You are suggesting that a user tries a custom rom to troubleshoot? This will void the user's warranty. What is the point?
@OP, only flash official firmware using Smart Switch, click emergency software initialization and then click device initialization.
If issue persists, send the phone to Samsung for warranty repairs.

Its XDA....you know a developers site. warranty is the last thing to worry about and if your concerned about it you might be in the wrong place
Had this issue a while ago. Clearing data and cache of the camera app solved it for me.
There seems to be a problem with Samsung Pay on my galaxy j7 2016 it won't work and the main reason for that I believe it is because my warranty count is now 1 instead of 0 even though i'm back to stock rom/recovery non rooted does anyone know how to fix this issue?
