Knox counter hit 0x1 then you need to send in for repairs you will get bill..
You'll still be allowed to send it in for repairs, you just need to pay for them.

Very lucky indeed. It's because of situations like yours that the Knox flag exists in the first place. You borked a flash and lacked the skill to fix it, no way Samsung should be obliged to fix it for free.

If you're in EU region your warranty still be valid for hardware problems, if not caused by software(overclock..eg).
Does anyone know if 0x1 is still covered by warranty in Australia. I've read that some parts of the world still have cover.

Yep...your bootloader is secured...knox will trigger 0x1 if you root it and/or flash custom rom or mods and you loose warranty

Knox counter does not void warranty. I saw many users confirming they got warranty despite Knox counter wasn't 0

How does rooting your s4 affect EE insurance if you have a problem with your phone?

When you root your android phone, it's warranty is immediately voided and can no longer be looked at by the provider.

Just unroot before bringing it in. There have been reports of people sending in broken phones with custom roms and still getting repairs with Samsung.

No that is impossible to recover from but I know several people who still redeemed warranty even with a tripped knox counter.
Hi I wanted to know if there is any way to root without triggering the knox warranty thing ....just want to root ..
Never had a phone with warranty before so don't wanna mess this up.

No way to do that directly. HOWEVER for N900 it seems to be possible to reset knox flag and downgrade - look after the relevant threads around!

As long as the fault will not stop you from doing it - for instance if the USB connector is no longer working you will not be able to get that back
(I9505)Can I flash firmware via Odin if my Knox void is 0x1 ?

Yes you can flash any firmware with triggered Knox, you just can't downgrade

Yes you will, if you don't have installed a custom recovery. You will get the official updates

Then, who care about KNOX ?
No one . In all seriousness in some countries Knox 0x1 does void warranty. I've send it to repair center with triggered Knox and they didn't say anything. I just used triangle away and flashed stock.
I wouldn't worry about it to much

You can't use the APP Knox anymore and in some destinations they don't repair your phone if you damage it. (well they repair it but not for free)
