hi
bit of a noob question but ill give some context first...
My s7 (g930f) is on android 7.0, ive successfully installed twrp , magisk and samsung anti root removal via odin.
Knox counter has not been activated as far i can tell .
Snapchat still works. Knox app says warranty is still valid
so far so good
Now i wish to back up my phone in its current state
Now to my question , with my phone rooted, twrp installed with knox still intact ..
Could i make a backup with twrp , then later recover with twrp and STILL have knox with a counter of 0?
I'm not sure how you have managed to flash custom without tripping KNOX
But KNOX is not part of anything that TWRP backs up, so if you somehow have not tripped it, back up, then trip it and restore, it will remain tripped, it is a permanent hardware change
magisk hides the true state of the knox.
Actually his knox is not 0x0

Yea, thought something like that was happening, no-one has managed custom flashing without tripping KNOX yet
Before flashing the supersu, my knox is 0x0 (magisk installed) via download mode.

i am thinking to get the s6 and i dont think i can give up on root so i heard there is a root method pingpong does not trip knox if i do it
can i install custom recovery on it without tripping knox or anything else on download mode
if i restore to stock will everything stays the same?
thank you in advance
You can root without tripping the KNOX with Ping Pong Root , but if you flash unsigned software like custom recovery or custom ROM the knox will trip and you will loose the warranty.

There is something strange about knox. I flashed BTU(UK) stock ROM on my XXV(vietnam) SM-920F brand new phone using odin 3.10.6. And hell, knox is tripped now. Strange? Anybody any clues?

I'm so glad i saw this, i was about to do the same. Got all my backups ready to flash and wipe to change the CSC to BTU (from EVR). So your KNOX has tripped, how was this confirmed?
Were you able to do anything since tripping it?
Thanks

Nothing much. Once knox is tripped. Its tripped. There is nothing one can do about it.
Can I Update S6 via Odin
I have S6 (SN-G92F)
Made in Vietnam
Original CSC code "ECT"
Active CSC code "ECT"
Knox Warranty void 0*0
CSC Country Nigeria/NG
CSC version
G920FOJV1AODE
Android version 5.0.2
When I tried to OTA update, it shows "already latest OS installed"
I have tried to update it through smart switch, but it updated to the same version.
I have checked in sammobile that 5.1.1 stock available for the same CSC of Nigeria.
Can I update my mobile to 5.1 through odin with out Knox trip.
Knox tripping is very important for me.
any one can help me
What will destroy knox? I know rooting(depends which) and installing a new recovery will trip knox, as long i understood it right. But are there other things that can trip the knox warranty? Something like busybox or lucky patcher(i know discussing qbout lucky patcher isnt allowed but im only asking if its possible to trip knox with an app you can install) ?
Only flashing an unsigned boot (kernel) or recovery (TWRP, Philz) image trips knox.
Ok thank you very much

They require root so using it without root is useless. But if you root then it trips knox
Yes thats right but when i understood it right rooting with pingpong root will not trip knox when you are on 5.0.2
I hope it's allowed to ask this, but would there be a use for me to flash engineering bootloader if I've already tripped my KNOX?
I'm more familiar with HTC devices, so would it be like getting S-OFF? Would I be able to flash unsigned PIT-files, or change the size of the volumes on the phone in other ways?
Cheers
if you have already tripped knox, there is any reason to use engineering bootloader.
that is used only when you haven't tripped knox and you want to however use custom rom without tripping it

So what you're saying is that an engineering bootloader would not allow me to flash an unsigned PIT-file?
i don't know about this.
But i repeat.. the point is that you absolutely don't need to use engineering bootloader. it is used only when your knox is 0x0 and you want to however use custom rom (but to do this, your firmware has to be older than OI9)
you have already tripped your knox (from what you have said in first post), so go and flash every rom you want.

Thanks for trying to help, but this isn't about flashing ROMs nor tripping knox. I'll go ahead and try it.
My S7 is Rooted. IF I FLASH STOCK FIRMWARE NO ROOT. All Apps Will WORK LIKE KNOX, secure Folder, Samsung Pass/Health etc
No, because you tripped KNOX already
If you're rooted with magisk you can hide root from some apps but you wont be able to use Knox etc. I know you can hide root from samsung health with magisk.
Most Custom Roms have the Knox files fixed for you to use, e.g. SuperMan Rom
Hello, I ask about a state of insolity knox, my download mode after flash mod rom is 0x20e, and this state returns a broken knox or not?

Once Knox is tripped that's it, it's a fuse inside the phone.
