I would suggest Helium, doesn't require root but you need to run the desktop application before you can backup.
Really simple and easy
It's blasphemy they sell the devices at a premium and we are not allowed to use as we see fit without any repercussions.
When would rooting ever make phone calls weak , buttons malfunction or whatever hardware related issue man..
@carleone82 if you are not rooting why do you need to trip the counter?

Uhm rooting does not wipe anything. Why don't you just root then only backup.
Tripped mine aswell XD after 2 days of purchase
Thats it! I had enough as well. I think I will be rooting today.

Wooooo root for everyone !
First thing i installed was viper audio, xposed framework, wanam xposed, maximize widgets and samsung multiple widgets.
Feels so much better already
Well, I got my Note3 N9005 (replacing my Note II) in beginning of October. Within an hour after I got home it was rooted with Chainfire's CF autoroute.
Do I regret - No Way, despite that the Knox flag is tripped.
I need the feeling of having full control of my phone and run Titanium Backup Pro, App Quarantine Pro, Root Explorer, File Manager Explorer, Nandroid Manager/Online, Mobile Odin Pro and of course SuperSU Pro.
In addition I use Philz Touch Recovery CWM which has just become available for the N9005. The rest of the phones OS is fully stock.
The tripped Knox flag doesn't really bother me. It's just a kind of a certificate to run Knox and I don't need to run that at all. I do see the point in Knox related to corporate security with a lot of employees running around with unsecured phones on the inside of the company firewall. Not to forget about all the corporate information on each phone totally unsecured. That's where the Knox container comes in handy.
As far as I understand, warranty is not an issue (atleast within EU) if Knox flag is tripped. If the phone is able to boot in Download Mode - just reflash (PC Odin) it with latest stock software. If you have a backup on the external SD card or your PC (you should), do factory reset before you send it back for warranty repair or replacement.
I have a hard time believing that it is possible to reset the Knox flag without replacing a chip on the MB or the MB itself.

Hello, I have rooted my galaxy s6 international version and the only thing I am using is some CSC (?) features like alphabetacilly sorting the app drawer, adblocker and whatsmapp. Actually, I kind of regret it, I want back my factory galaxy s6, warranty, clean rom, is there any way to get like a new device? Installing the stock rom I had will fix it?
Now I see more problems with the s6 like fingerprint sensor isn't working, I'm so afraid without the warranty, don't you?
The burned eFuse-Chip is in fact a hardware damage caused by rooting from the user --> no more warranty by Samsung! You can check that in several reports online, in magazins and even at Samsung

Saw this in the other thread located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/penalties-flashing-rooting-t3097277
So yeah you can never restore original, never...You can only flash stock firmware.
I did root my Galaxy S6, at first I was very disapointed that I did that, but now I'm thinking that sooner or later I would still have done the same thing, because without root your phone is kind of limited to some things, root gives you more power over the phone so you can control it how you like.
Edit: Fingerprint scanner works fine for me, for you it's probably software related issue, that could be solved by flashing other firmwares.

Im curious if thats the same case with rooting with PingPong root. It doesnt trigger KNOX so can it also mean that the efuse doesnt get triggered?

Well we can hope that it doesn't! Yeah mate it sucks ive been wanting to root ever since the SGS6 released but been torned incase I want to return to completly stock so this is a nice choice. But as you said yourself, you would have eventually rooted sooner or later and I don't think you will miss out on anything important

Install Samsung Smart Switch and use it to make a backup of your things and then use the recovery option in the program. It will download the right firmware for you and re-install your phone to fabric settings.

Thx everyone.. really disappointed of rooting, at least I wish I could restore it and root with ping-pong root.
And Zozo,
Its just to transfer files from my previous device to my current device. .

If you press the "More" button up to the right there's an option called "Emergency software recovery initialisation". There you can re-install your whole phone to completely factory settings
It will not untrip your KNOX if you rooted the phone in any other way than with PingPong Root, that is not possible for the time being.

If someone roots, I have heard that many apps stop working. My question is, if the device is then unrooted, will those apps still work considering the fact that knox will remain tripped? I'm not referring to Samsung Pay, but rather apps from the playstore.
Yes, using magisk you can run all of the applications...
Few may need workaround but possible

I hope I don't sound noob but coming from a 6p, i believe I am. I am new to samsung(even hated the idea of having one just as i hate iphones...) but was a gift and am lovin' it. I read a lot about rooting the s8+. Even got all the tools I found through a walkthrough to achieve root on my device. Many say it's not safe. The steps were flashing twrp through odin, then flashing magisk and the verity flash in twrp.
Hope i didn't tire you yet
Just a couple questions, is it actually safe to root my device? With the knox and whatnot(never had to worry about that before with the 6p)what apps will be affected by root and how to workaround that?
I have a g955fd btw
Thanks in advance

Its safe but once Knox is tripped its tripped for good. As of now there's no way to use certain secure apps if Knox has been tripped. You won't be able to us Secure folders (private mode), S Health and allegedly Samsung pay (although this one works for me on my rooted s8+ with Magisk). There may be some other apps but those are the main ones I can think of.
Besides these apps most if not all other apps root check capabilities can be fooled or bypassed. Apps like Snapchat, Netflix and Poke Go etc.are normally blocked on rooted devices but work just fine with Magisk.

If you dont care about the apps I mentioned or possibly forfeiting your warranty then I don't see why not. Its definitely not required though. There's not too much incentive to root yet until rovo89 gets Xposed to work on android 7.0+, if ever. I just rooted to make full nandroid backups and save myself the trouble of rooting down the road. As of right now there's not too much added functionality in having root access besides a few small-ish tweaks here and there.
Hi, I recently came across a thread via the Samsung members app that talked about the "ONE UI" update and how to install it on s8 plus devices that end with a "W" (by CHMultimédia) (canadian variant) model code. I was wondering if anyone here has tried the method, and if so, are there any issues? bugs? How does this compare to the method already on XDA? and does this reduce battery to 80% like rooting?
Thanks
I use the G955U U1 firmware on my G955W. I don't really have any problems. Charges to 100% etc and I have the added bonus of now having the FM radio chip activated (which Bell lies about and says only Samsung can enable it).

Thank you!!! I'll try it out. I hope once the official release drops I'll be able to revert XD. In case the files don't work (for restore), is there any way I can do my own back up of the files I'd need in order to do a revert/restore to official Samsung Android 8.0?

I've been able to restore to stock without any problems. I use Super Backup Pro for my backups. Just make sure you backup to an external SD card as the internal will get wiped.

Sorry to bug you again, However I have a question in regards to restoring to stock. I'm slightly puzzled as to how to backup the required files in order to keep them to be able to revert to stock when needed, and also I do not understand how to even begin the process. I've rooted my fair share of phones, however with the s8+ everything is really quite new to me. (Currently my s8 G955W is completely stock, no root, no nothing).
Thanks

I basically do three backups (I believe in redundancy). I first backup with Superbackup Pro. With it I can backup sms, call logs, calendars, contacts and even apps. The second and third backups are done automatically but I make them do a backup NOW. These are under Settings/Cloud and accounts. First I backup to Samsungs's Cloud. I make sure everything I want backed up is turned on, then do a Sync Now. Next I back out of Samsung Cloud and pick Backup and Restore. Again there I make sure everything is turned on (except music for me as I'd fill my space too quickly. My music is backed up on my computer anyway). Lastly I pick Backup account from my Google Account. and pick "Back up now". With this I should have a good backup of everything I want.
Hope this helps.

You don't seem to know a lot about flashing (my impression but I could be wrong as this is text only and not person to person) Things can go wrong very quickly and you risk bricking your phone. Basically your process is to flash a US version back to CK1 (T-Mobile is the best), then do the updates as per the link you provided. THEN if you don't like the beta, you have to flash back to stock per the link I provided. Either way, in the end, you will have to flash back to stock when the official version comes out as there will NOT be a way to upgrade from the beta to the official version. Personally, I would wait till the official version comes out. It should be this month. In fact, I personally didn't like the beta version so I've flashed back to stock and will wait for the official version.

how do you change the g955w canadian version to usa version g955u1
Hi,
I've been looking but can't find anything clear, all the Snapdragon information is very mixed
Today, what is the best method to root S10e G9700 version?
Is there a step-by-step guide from standard phone (as you buy it)?
(I have a 9700 HK model, CSC TGY with the last October rom)
Finally, the past week a get root in my phone:
I put here in one post the info that I have collected: (Thanks to the people that share it)
For G9700 root is the same as Exynos:
- Unlock bootloader
- Download the full firmware ( your current firmware) extract it and you copy ap file to your sd card then you patch the ap as tar in magisk
- Copy back the file to your computer
- Flash it in Odin in the AP slot.
- Reboot and wipe data
- Boot up back to system install magisk app and follow the steps done
- You are now rooted.
These video and link helps a lot:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3a8YnWT3yk
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root
Now I have a new doubt:
There is a 24 Oct new patch.
Now, which is the correct way to update the phone whitout loose root or make a full wipe again?
Is there a working procedure for installing the new patch?

Two questions.
Which Magisk version was used?
Reboot and wipe data means disable auto reboot (system) in Odin and boot the phone directly in recovery mode to wipe data?

Hi,
- I have used the last Magisk when I did it (8.0.2)
- Yes, I did like you say, In the video appears
But I think that I made something wrong.
Everything worked perfectly but today I have rebooted the phone and it seems that I have loose root...
Root this phone is like a pain in the ass, the worst I have rooted
You have to restart with special button combo. you can google it or you use a modified kernel but I think kernel for G9700 isn't available and you loose some functions.
The G9700 is the first phone which I don't need to root, it's closely perfect.
why you want to root it?

Yes, I found different methods and none of them worked for me. :crying:
Today I had more time and I fixed it quickly:
As it seems, if you reboot your phone you will booting system without magisk. For booting system with magisk you need to do the last steps of the video and it worked.
- Turn off
- Turn on with (VOL+,BIXBY and POWER)
- When screen turns on you release everything and press only VOL+
- Entry in recovery mode "Reboot system now" and when the screens turns off we push (VOL+,BIXBY and POWER)
It works perfect again. From now always power OFF and Power ON, never reboot.

First off all to use AdAway and get a full free ads phone
Map the Bixby button to another functions
Several Nova launcher functions
...
It is true that today it makes less sense than years ago, but it still allows you to have the phone more to your preferences.

I fully understand cause it's also important for me.
I'm using Blokade VPN now so need to root anymore.
OneUI is greate compare to old TouchWiz so imho no custom ROM needed. My experience is that stock rom has always better battery life.
Update info: After a lot of weeks using it all works perfect.
Just have to be careful not to reboot the phone, always power off and power on separately
I rooted my phone the other day and got in trouble with boot loop but managed to get back and now I'm unrooted. And bootloader re locked. I didn't really need root I just did it because I was bored, (lockdown) but now I can't use Samsung pay or Samsung pass. Is there away I can get through this, I'm using UK Exynos.
Hello, I've always been rooted for like a decade, however I'm not rooting my G9700 (TGY)
- remap bixby button: possible with adb command and BxActions app (full remap)
- uninstall bixby and other apps (adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 "APP.PACKAGE.NAME")
- removing ads is fine with a custom dns (dns.adguard.org) available natively in android
- boosting sound is possible with Goodev app (googleplay)
- theming is possible and absolutely lovely using #HeX+ , it is even better than substratum. Themed apps as well, qs tiles mods, gradient colors, bunch of themes. Personally using stock android looks with a black background and different vivid colors as accents.
- non root youtube vanced available since ages ago.
- other non root mods available such as Good Lock modules, personally using three of them: Task Changer, QuickStar, Sound Assistant
- custom fonts now available also in android 10-11 with #mono_ app
- other cool stuff like Alliance X app that helps you disabling system apps, or disable package
SO what you wanna root for??
I love android but rooting this phone is a total waste. I'm happy using Samsung Pay and other things. Personally I haven't lasted more than a few months with the same phone and this one is lasting for 2-3 years at least.
I miss some rooting stuff like custom kernels etc, might get a oneplus again next time for that matter but I'm absolutely loving one ui experience and all the aforementioned mods, they're all awesome, you can get a cool setup.

I didn't really need root I just did it because I was bored, (lockdown) but now I can't use Samsung pay or Samsung pass. Is there away I can get through this, I'm using UK Exynos.

Thank you for replying to my dumbass questions and I know I am a being dumbass here but could I just ask you to reiterate that if I flash original firmware I can use the Samsung apps() that I could use before I rooted and unlocked the bootloader now that I have UNrooted and RElocked the bootloader? I read somewhere that I can't use certain services because 'Knox' has been triggered and it will never go back. I only want the Samsung apps because certain Google apps won't work on my Samsung watch that I got cheap from CeX

Found this thread:
Dispelling the myths of tripping knox and samsung pay
Knox 0x10 will not disallow samsung pay from working. It just wont. Root will, but tripping the e-fuse will not. I have a few samsung phones at home and i was irritated that lost samsung pay after getting TWRP installed and running. Well, after...

Apparently once knox is triggered, you can't go back but you can use samsung pay as long as you have a non rooted firmware.
I'm new to samsung so I can't help much on this but try installing the official firmware, your apps like samsung pay should go back working normally.

Wow, that's really kind of you to find that for me, thank you very much. This is my first Samsung, and I only bought it because all the other phones were massive, I usually have a Sony. And check out the thread you found for me. Thank you very much
