Guys,
Just a simple question. If my Knox is 0x1, meaning if its void, what's the worst thing that can happen?
I understand that it might cause my device to lose warranty. But other than that?
Thanks!

Loss of warranty, can't encrypt your device, KNOX container won't work. But you don't need KNOX stuff if you don't use it for business.
Was expecting a ton of sarcastic stupid answers from the newbies I see nowadays.

Thanks Mate. You've been quite helpful and prompt.
This clears the confusion I had with Knox.
No my business doesn't need an enterprise security solution.
Never encrypted any of my Phones.
Knox Container is a sandbox if i'm not mistaken, No need on the galaxy. My PC has one.
Lets pop that cherry then!
Cheers!

Even with loss of warranty, If something goes wrong, Samsung will fix it, I think there is some wide confusion as to whether KNOX 0x1 = the KNOX warranty = void
or
KNOX 0x1 = Phone warranty void.
Samsung haven't actually cleared this up to my knowledge. Besides you'll see many people have had their phones fixed even with 0x1! Me personally I tripped mine without giving a second thought.
PS: You're welcome

Will there be a root solution without tripping the knox counter and how soon do you think after launch??
The phone isn't even being sold yet. Nobody can answer that question until the phone is in our hands.
although what EP says is 100% accurate, maybe worth checking out if something was found on Note 2 (which is no), Note 3, S4, or S5. If none on those, then most likely not on the Note 4 either.
Don't know.. Don't care lol. Not sure why everyone worries so much about Knox..as long as we can root,install recovery and flash what we want its all good. And if you concerned about warranty I would say your on the wrong site . I tripped my note 3 knox counter right after I bought the device and never looked back.

I think that in regards to warranty, Sammy still has an obligation to repair your device. They may charge you for the repair, but I'd say they'd need to prove that rooting was the cause of your problem - say a defective battery or non-functioning sim slot. :laugh:

Well, because not tripping knox is better than tripping knox I would say. What if something goes wrong with your phone that has nothing to do with rooting? I am sure Samsung in that case would also say, sorry, you rooted your phone, there will be charge for fixing this. If I create an unrecoverable brick, then, I would take responsibility for that, however, No one I am sure would want to be responsible for a problem with their phone that had nothing to do with rooting. It was just a question, that's all. I am rooting whether knox is tripped or not.
when you root your phone, Samsung says your warranty ends.
Period.
Your carrier may cut you some slack on a issue that comes up, not related to rooting, but most of them will refuse to do anything warranty wise if you are rooted. Obviously, they have to either ask you, or check themselves.
Over the years, I never had a warranty refused because of being rooted, and when I brought a phone in with a problem, I never volunteered that the phone was rooted, and they never asked me.
But, that might not be the case for you or anyone else.
Sure, if you can root, and not trip Knox, and there is a way to unroot and return your phone to stock in case of service being needed, that is the ideal scenario, but once I root any phone, I always assume my warranty is over, and I think most of us that have been on XDA for awhile would agree with that statement.
Long story short... I tripped Knox warranty bit to 0x1. Now I am needing to take phone in warranty, but with Knox 0x1 showing I can't. My idea: HARD BRICK the phone in a way it won't show this Knox warranty bit. Anybody knows of a way to blow away the partitions/bootloader/anything that will make the phone not turn on? I know I could do this on HTC, but not sure about Samsung devices.
Thanks!
Thanks for posting this. I had no idea this Knox thing even existed until now. I was seriously considering loading some custom ROMs after recently rooting my SG4 but now that looks like a potentially very bad idea.
odin can brick your phone. flash some bad **** to it
You guys know this is fraud. Your purposely fu**ing your device because you voided knox. Welcome to the world of rooting where you void all warranties. You knew what you were in for. So if you want to return your device for whatever reason. Be a man and pay up.
Hi
I bought the new Samsung GS6 a few months back. I just got it, noticed some pink dots on the front camera, but it was gone next time I used it.
I rooted it and after a few months I noticed that they're there in low light conditions. I sent it for repair and they will repair it for 1962,5 kr. (297.72 USD).
I was told, that warranty in Europe was not void by rooting and have seen many people link to this.
http://matija.suklje.name/rooting-and-flashing-your-device-does-not-void-the-warranty-in-eu
Anyone know what to do? I live in Denmark if that helps.
Do anyone know if it is void or not? I know in my country, they should (in the first 6 months) prove that the fault is made by me if they should deny it. They will change the circuit board and I should pay that myself, because I rooted the phone. The dots were there before and also, how can rooting the phone (with the right root) cause hardware issues since they will change the circuit board?
Thanks in advance
Most custom roms allude to telling you it voids your warranty, i'm not sure if rooting software tells you that as well. Generally you take your phone in your own hands when you root because technically the phone has been altered which could theoretically cause problems.
I doubt there is anything you can do aside from pay for the repair or refuse it.

They just told me, that they cannot enter the phone, because I have rooted the phone. They said I can not get back to stock, before the circuit board have been changed.
If you used the pingping root method, it doesn't trip knox so you should be able to go back to stock without them ever knowing, however I stand to be corrected if this is not the case.
If you rooted the phone using CF auto root, then you would have tripped Knox and you have technically voided your warranty. However, if you used PingPong root, then Knox protection should still be intact, which means you still have warranty.
What you can if you have tripped Knox is try to go back to stock firmware and hope they don't notice that Knox has been tripped.

I used CF-autoroot. Fixed the link, try read it. I should get it covered. It's barely 3 months old.
It's back to stock, just with tripped knox counter. I unrooted and did a factory reset. Do I need to flash stock rom too? The knox counter will still be 1...

It's not about root. It's about tripping Knox, which voids the warranty - different from root altogether.

It doesn't matter what custom roms say in their disclaimer or what samsung claims, samsung needs to adhere to the local law, which states that simplly rooting does not void your warranty

I did so, they send it to their workshop (or what you call it in english) and they sent it to Samsung, which confirmed the root and now back to me.

you should bring it back and get it repaired and also demand back the money they charged you for inspection but maybe speak with a consumer organization in your country first. Sometimes it can also help to use twitter and facebook to get your right.

Hi, my phone is an s7 edge exynos g935w8 and I've tried using triangle away to reset the knox counter but that doesn't work... So are there any other options?
The only option is app called KNOX disabler. It reverts knox back to 0x0. But your warranty is void anyways

No,knox counter is one time programmable e-fuse,when burned and get status 0x1 its irretrievable,that is the point of knox,more here
I am looking for a nox reset also. F*ck samsung. They dont want to fix my S7 edge flickering screen because of root. YES root made my screen flicker!!

Once you tripped your Knox you can do nothing. It's like peeling off the security label. I'm sure you were aware of voiding warranty with rooting the device

Surely everyone knows that your warranty is void if you root your phone. It is classed as mishandling and can cause vulnerable software to be installed.
Your flickering issue may not be caused by rooting but the fact you rooted the phone goes against Samsung's terms of use and therefore they have no obligation to fix the phone for you.
I am rooted myself but when I did root, I accepted the fact that I would void my warranty, therefore I took out insurance that would cover any damage I may get. This is not Samsung's fault, it is your own fault for rooting if you wanted to keep your warranty.

It's pointless imo. The device is still knox-tripped, the phone just shows 0x0 instead of 0x1. I see no reason why this would be useful.
Of course, and by the way I don't have any reason to revert to 0x1 or 0x0 ... my provider/seller will never look at this for warranty
But it would be funny if Samsung accept to repair a 0x0 fake device lol

You can use knox apps like disconnect , myknox with that with root and custom rom and probably Samsung pay ? They are still testing if samsung pay works . But for warranty , it's useless lol.

Is it not law in uk an EU that rooting or messing with software DOES NOT void warranty?

if it's clearly a hardware problem, would they still bother flashing stock? cos that would mean data is wiped after every samsung repair.
I have been reading that rooting will trip the KNOX, thus voiding the warranty on Samsung devices. How long is the Samsung KNOX warranty period?
Not understanding the question. You have a warranty period, usually 1 year. If you trip the knox bit in that 1 year, then warranty is up. If you do it outside of the 1 year, it doesn't matter, as there is no warranty left. Make sense?

The knox bit is a part of the hardware. When you do something (root, unlock bootloader), the bit is flipped and burnt. It can't be undone. There may be a 'counter', I've never seen one. But all it would do is count how many times you've booted the device with an non-warranty kernel. Even if you find a way to set it to zero, I don't think there's any way you can change the burnt bit in the hardware.
There's a util on play store called 'knox status samsung' https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bryancandi.knoxcheck
As it says also, once the knox bit is set, that's it, there's no going back.
