My new note 3 turned out to be buggy and broken. Constantly freezing and resetting. I need to return it but I rooted it with towel root and am uncertain on how to unroot and reset the Knox trigger. Help would be appreciated!

Nothing in the world will reset the knox warranty fuse. It's an electronic fuse and once blown...the entire chipset (in other words...the whole motherboard) needs replaced

Hey guys,
so I wanna factory reset my note 3 N9005 Stock TW:
My phone is rooted with Towelroot but still runs the Stock Touchwiz Kitkat which the phone was released with.
I wanna know what happens if I factory reset my phone from the config. Does it still gonna be rooted afterwards?
And if so, how do I unroot it?
It's still Knox 0x0 and showing official status, and I dont wanna change that.
Appreciate your help!

Hello.
I had rooted my Galaxy S4 (i9505), 4.4.2, without triggering the Knox Flag, using CF-Auto-Root, via Odin. The Flash Counter is now 1, due to flashing something, but Knox is 0x0. Flash counter can be reseted by using Triangle Away,
Hope this helps.

Mind that you have to install BusyBox from Google Play, cause it does not come with it.
Have fun

Thanks to you.Still can not root at the moment fir I9500
Not included - Triangle Away - ! NOT OPERATIONAL ON THE GT-I9500 !
Triangle Away can be used to reset the flash counter after installing CF-Root. The flash counter keeps track of how many custom firmwares you have flashed, as this voids warranty. (No idea what this about ? Read up on it, you will want to use this !)

Bear in mind, that I am not 100% sure that it will work on ALL Galaxy S4 devices (I mean not trigger it).
Also bear in mind that OTA (Over the air update) will NOT work, it will return the message "Phone was been personalized."
Although, Kies sees it. Also make sure you don't have Knox mode activated or installed.
LATER EDIT:
I see that Triangle Away is only for the Qualcomm Galaxy S4 (9505). That means that you can't, at this moment, reset the flash counter. There are basically two things to worry about:
- Knox Flag -> as which seems so, I avoided it by installing that CF-Auto-Root on my 9505. I am not sure about avoiding it on 9500, but it should work.
- Flash Counter -> it raises everything you flash something via download mode. If it's 0, in Settings > About Phone > Status >Phone Status, it will return "Original" or something. If it's anything else than 0 (like 1, which I currently have cause I re-flashed root due to some tiny problem), it will return "personalized" or something like it. That will still void warranty IF the phone is sent to warranty like that, but will NOT trigger Knox. Also that will stop OTA Updates from working, but Kies updates will work (for some reason, samsung bug, use it ).
I have no idea how to help you regarding that Flash Counter on the 9500.

Thanks again.
I just hav to avoid to take the risk and prevent warranty void,the answer is not to root at the moment.
Thanks gain:good:
So i rooted my sm-g30w galaxy grand prime with a apk app of kingroot. im not too versed in rooting but i do not bad. i had no idea the effect that knox had on rooting my phone. so now it keeps rebooting over and over again. i wiped that partrition cache, i wiped and reset the phone took out the battery and it still keeps rebooting. im currently trying an update and intialization through the kies 3 program. my phone says knox warranty 0x0 which i believe is a good thing. please help ugh im so discouraged.
Okay so I need to completely unroot my sm g928p to regain my warranty and untrip knox and factory reset it. I'm not sure as to how so any tutorials would be greatly appreciated and also I'm looking to update it to android 6 as I'm only running 5.1.1

#1: you cannot un-trip knox.
#2: you do not have to un-root the phone either.
Your warranty will still be good, just do a "Factory Data Reset"
which is under the phones settings.
By doing a factory data reset the phone will no longer be rooted
and any apps which you have installed will be wiped out.
A Factory Data Reset will also wipe all your personal info like your
music, pictures, video and passwords as well.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
Got my S7 yesterday, played around with root, and decided to go with a stock experience for the time being so I can use Samsung Pay and MST (blasphemous, I know). I used ODIN to restore back to stock, verified KNOX counter wasn't tripped, and went on setting everything up.
I installed Samsung Pay and launched, only to run into the access denied message you would see if you were attempting to open it with a rooted device. Any thoughts as to what could be happening?

I would make sure you followed the return to stock instructions in psouza4 thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039). I flashed through odin yestererday and took the pf2 update that was available when I was done. I am able to install and access Samsung pay. What all did you flash in ODIN?

Resolved! Actually, it was my strict adherence to the instructions that led to the issue - the instructions only tell you to flash AP, CP, and CSC back down to PE1. Which was fine and dandy, but my BL remained at PF2, which is the reason why I had issues loading Samsung Pay. I was afraid that I had either tripped the mythical physical e-fuse somehow, or my phone was blacklisted from Samsung Pay servers - fortunately this was not the case! Once I updated everything back to PF2, Samsung Pay was able to load.

Sorry but there's no method at this time to reset Knox back to 0x0. The method of root that was posted here wouldn't trip Knox which is why when flashing back to stock they are able to use Samsung Pay again.
how to trip that knox again? and how to check knox state? I had installed stock samsung s7 edge India ROM latest but now smart tutor apps is gone (that i intalled from playstore) and samsung pay is not working
