I am knew at this but I want to root my galaxy note 3. I updated my phone so I can't safely root with out tripping the Knox. Now I bought my phone with Verizon and got a warranty with protectcell (I got the most comprehensive one they had). I emailed them if they would replace a phone that had a tripped Knox sensor and I have not received any emails back. Now I turn to you, people of the inter Web, to see if anyone knows if they will? I also thought of this, their warranty covers things like dropping my phone in the pool. Will they reject it with water damage plus a tripped Knox?
-any help would be great.

Just use the TowelRoot and you will not trip knox.

Yes, it works fine on 4.4.2, that's what it is actually intended to be used with.
Are you sure it won't trip the Knox

Yes, once you install it and reboot you can even remove Knox when you install the Chainfire's SU app.
And my warranty will still be intact?

Yes and no, your warranty is technically voided once you root but you can unroot if needed. If you need to call VZW for a warranty replacement just pull the battery, call them and tell them you can get it to turn on. If it's on and rooted there's a chance that they'll look and see that it's rooted.

Idk if there is a thread for this, but i have a particular problem.
I had originally rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5, but unrooted it the next day. (No roms or anything) (i rooted correctly)
I found out i tripped the knox counter (not the problem, well sorta)
The problem is that a week later out of nowhere my camera stops working.
I want to know, if i go in for a return. What will happen? Will i have to pay for the replacement? If so, how much?
I have the T-Mobile version and i am on the jump program.
I need answers before i try turning it in tomorrow.

Just do it and you will find out. They're not going to steal your phone nor be calling the FBI.

I moved some pictures into private mode and then rooted my phone and shortly after went back to stock. I now enabled private mode again but can't find the pictures I moved to private before I reflashed anywhere... Does anyone know where it stores the pictures.

I do believe that private mode changes file type and encrypts the files. Also once knox has been triggered (which would be the case as you have rooted) private mode does not work. The only way you will get your pictures back is if you send your phone to Samsung and get them to reset everything, this will cost you quite a bit of money. The other thing you can do is wait and see if someone finds a way to reset knox, you could be waiting a while for this to happen, if it ever does happen. In future I would recommend using a file encrypter or something to encrypt your files in the future.
I am rooted now and private mode works but what youre saying makes sense. Thank you

having root and tripping the knox trigger hasn't stopped private mode for me. just won't let me do OTA updates, have to update via Kies
I have a SM-G900F from Virgin media/mobile (UK)
This keeps popping up in my notifications and I'm not exactly sure what it is, so I keep declining /dismissing it. I just started getting it a few days ago. Anyone have any insight?

Trud, did you ever find an answer to this? My wife's phone gets this multiple times a day but since I Towelrooted I'm afraid to accept or auto-accept any security patches. I'm wondering what I need to freeze to disable this.
I declined several times but for some reason it updated on its own...

Probably a patch for the Towelroot exploit, who knows
I never did find a solution. I ended up rooting and flashing hyde's rom which has the security updates disabled.

Question is encrypt our device is really important? Our data can be recovered easily when we sell our device? How many people here they are using encryption in their note 3?

Mostly applies to 'older' smart phones........
Yes old android phone doesn't have encryption features under security, we have this feature available but how many people using this? Google says before factory reset phone data must be encrypted if we want to sale our device, if encrypt data & do factory reset it will not ask password?

This what I mean, I don't think many people encrypt there device & new device is only secure when it's encrypt, so new device also insecure as good as old device & unknowingly we sale our devices to others.

A, who is dumb enough to store naked pictures on a device of which per average 3 are stolen every second?
B, I was under the impression that it was common knowledge that factory reset in setting is a Soft reset.
C, Reflash firmware and tell it to wipe during flash. Should be sufficient.

It's not only about naked pictures, if you read link I attach it says about emails, documents etc, which may lead to compromise privacy & financial loss.

As I said in B.and C.
Most users are stupid enough to only do a a soft reset through setting.

Plus this will only refer to internal memory.
For all important stuff you keep on external sdcard,make apps record/use extscard and don't include the card when you sell.
Any workaround Samsung Pay with a Knox tripped s7 edge?
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
Unfortunately no workaround will ever exist for this case. This is one of the reasons I will never root my device.
