I think you have to correct yourself my friend coz rooting doesnt void the warranty Its the bootloader unlocking which does.
Now for those who want to flash new roms other than stock , must unlock bootloader and ofcourse one hast to root the phone to do so.
But for those who just want to root and wish to run apps like apps to sd, lucky patcher, freedom app etc need not unlock their bootloader . they can regain their warranty just by unrooting the smartphone

Okay so you try it...but even after unrooting(really is there a way to unroot?)when to go to updates in settings...you wont be able to update your device...also in odin mode,warranty will show void..

I have tried it, that's why I'm telling you actually in some of the threads I have observed that bootloader relocking can also be done
One more Way to regain the warranty : Just flash the stock firmware and then you are done???? But ha don't forget to erase all thing I.e wipe data and dalvik cache.

Thanks a ton for the reply so did the svc center void the warranty and does this mean we will have to wait till chainfire or someone can find a way to make triangle away work on the I9500.....I kinda feel sad for the exynos variant isnt there any way to root the device without losing the warranty..

So what am trying to check here is if i install a custom recovery which obviously will be via odin and for some reason if i have to give the phone to the svc center and i flash back to the stock rom will i be able to cover it under warranty....

Your counter will still be raised and the status will still show modified, if they see that they may void warranty as it is not in original condition.
I am rooted. My counter is at 0. Link to stock rom with root is below

Flashing this via odin doesnt trip the counter.

Your best bet is to go into download mode and flash the official stock
firmware for your phone which you can find at http://sammobile.com
There are other ways of doing it but the other ways may not work for you.
After doing that you will need to root your phone if you want it rooted.
Good luck!
thanks you
how can i choose the firmware...i think i have something with mj7 .can you help me with the steps tha i have to do?
i had before the s3 and it was so easy to root i confuse with s4 a little bit couse i'm not expert

First i would check if you have a non knox bootloader. Uf you dont have knox... dont update to 4.3 but root and flash 4.3 rooted rom without knox.

You lost me lol the only reason I wanna use a custom rom is to get better audio quality.
I think I will leave rooting just in case I mess up thanks anyway lads.

Ok, this is how I understand it, although I could be wrong on some things....
a) 4g on three has nothing to do with your SIM
b) 4g on Three has nothing to do with your ROM (Stock or Custom)
c) Three have not switched on 4g yet and apparently at first it's only four places, so unless your in one of those there really ain't any rush.
.
d) If your on a stock or even custom rom the 4g network setting does not show as an option, As your rooted though you can use an app called phoneinfo from the play store. Using this app you can change your network setting to anything you want.
e) This one I'm not 100% about, Getting 4g on three can only be modem related, you can upgrade your modem(s) to GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1 without getting Knox.
Please read up about e) as I've spent ages looking for a definitive answer and I think I'm correct, if you find anything else out then get back to me.
.... If anyone else could verify the above that would be great.
Hope this helps a bit ...
Cheers
Three 4G OTA Update on rooted phone
I am in a similar situation, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 Rooted with Kitkat ROM (Poland) .
I contacted Three UK about the 4G update and asked them to send it to me. I was told that closer to the time I should unroot the phone DL the update and reroot. However I am not sure that would even work for various reasons.
I think that the info mentioned is accurate we just need to establish the correct file for each phone and flash with Odin.
Any further information appreciated.

[Q] Noob here, I got a question about rooting and Updating software

Hi! I got Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (Model SM-N910C). Im intrested in rooting my phone.
Before I do that, I wanted to know 1 thing:
If I root my Note 4, would I be able to upgrade it to andriod 5 when its realsed? From what I understood, I will have to delete all of my things in order to update (if i root it).
And if im still able to update it after I root it, Would i be able to do it from my device? (Without connecting it to a computer)
And one last thing: If all of what i asked above is possible, when I update to Andriod 5, my device would stilll be rooted? or will i have to do it again?
Im sorry for my ignorance, Im new with all the andriod stuff
And sorry for my poor english, its not my native language. If you didnt understood something that i asked please tell me and I will try to explain it better.
Yes you can upgrade
You will not be able to update through device,only computer
Android 5.0 is not rootable till now,if it is available you have to re root

Thank you for your answer!
But you didn't answer one of my questions, if I root it, do I have to format it before I update to andriod 5? (By format it I mean deleting everything in my phone except the operation system ( in this case it's andriod 4.4.4)
Bump please answer

No you don't need to format it, but the apps that require root to work will became a bloatware that you can't use until you root it again..

It most likely you need a PC to update (using Odin), because once you have rooted, the OTA update update won't work anymore.
And one last thing: If all of what i asked above is possible, when I update to Andriod 5, my device would stilll be rooted? or will i have to do it again?

You have to root it again.

The short answer:
Knox is a security environment developed for Samsung's Android devices.
Afaik, you won't lose any data.
if you dont know what it is dont root until you do. once you root you cannot unroot even if you flash a stock rom. your phone is permanently rooted and the efuse is blown.

Knox is a flag in your device that Samsung use to track your warranty status.
If you root or install custom rom or custom kernel, you MAY trip the Knox flag. That way Samsung MAY refuse warranty for your device.
You can check the Knox flag by booting into the Download mode (aka Odin mode).
Or the easier way is using Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, look for Knox Warranty Void.
But I won't lose any data, right?
Thank you all for your help!
