I have tripped my p900 and found a dead pixed on my screen after a month of use.
I sent back the device with civz's rom and samsung repaired it with no question asked.
I received my device today and the rom was flashed back to stock. The knox count was back to zero.
I'm in US by the way.
So I don't think the tripped knox has much to do with warranty.
Yes in other countries Knox is not a problem. I think it's more for business people than regular consumers
They might have replaced the system board which means new counter and new knox fuse.

Hi all,
I just had a live chat with one of the samsung rep and this is the reply i got with regards to the KNOW WARRANTY VOID: 0X1.

Chat people say anything at times. The only way we'd know is when someone sends in a device for repair with the Knox flag tripped.

Sorry I couldn't read the message. I got stuck at the realisation that the browser is IE. It blew my mind. So you're that one person who still uses it!
Joking aside, there have been many cases where the response has been different. You will never know until you actually come across a situation where you have to give the phone in for warranty and get it repaired.

I did send mine for repair with a tripped Knox counter to get the proximity sensor repaired here in the UK it came back reapired and not a problem. But what i did find was the the service centre flashed my phone with an MGA firmware which is pretty old. So in all fairness i can argue that samsung service centre themselves tripped the counter. Samsung at the moment is a headless chicken when it comes to the knox. So guys sit tight and make sure you have your phone insured just in case

i was in the office to IE is what i had to use.
my dear cousin tripped his knox warranty counter few weeks back, while flashing firmwares and rooting them over and over again.
recently his i9505 camera and flash stopped working so he had to send it in to the service centre, with the knox warranty still tripped.
few days later he got a call saying his phone was ready for collection and nothing was mentioned about the knox warranty counter.
he later checked and the counter was still tripped, so samsung did nothing about it and still honor the warranty.
maybe different service centres in different countries have different warranty issues about the knox thingy?
I've been saying this over in the KNOX thread in general. The service centers are simply contracted companies. None of them are officially Samsung.

Still it is best for someone to try it out instead of relying on the Samsung Live Chat especially when the person "Anthony" does not seems to know is "Knox Flag:0x1" is.

Just to inform you guys that regardless of whatever the counter displays,That tripping the Knox counter would result in an permanent efuse on the hardware.And of course not reversible unless you switch the entire board out.Chainfire had given up with anything thats got to do with Knox.
Geez, not even enough space to add in that question mark at the end. Anyway, did you manage to claim warranty after tripping your KNOX counter? What was their response/reaction? Do you think it's in their policy to allow/disallow such a thing, or is it just a person-by-person basis?
Yes. Im able.

Samsung doesn't go by telco warranty like iphones.... Samsung will honour/honour? the warranty at their various warranty service centre.
Will be in the near future a way to Root The Note 4 WITHOUT Tripping KNOX? I want to root but don't want to loose my warranty.
Is it possible???
i doubt it if so it will be months away but rooting alone does not void Warranty

From what i've read it's supposed to void your warranty, yet there's people who say they've had warranty repairs carried out with KNOX tripped, so it's pot luck as far as i tell
Have them explain how tripping knox broke your hardware.

I work for an authorized Samsung Service Center in Canada and we do not check knox fuse when you bring your device in. Just make sure it's unrooted before you bring it in not to make things too obvious
There must be someone like the dev who create towelroot that didnt trip knox for note3 and previous versions.
Am using it on my tab note 2014 edition.
Honestly, atm it's too risky to root with tripping KNOX and then hope that your warranty service won't care about that. It's a 50/50. Waiting for a non-KNOX root.
If you're in the EU with all the many consumer protection laws, I doubt Samsung would get away with not repairing a hardware fault on a device unless they can prove it's because you rooted.
I'd soon be taking them to a small claims court if my now unrooted phone screws up within two years and they refused to repair or replace (I tripped knox)
knox being a hardware fuse is simply a shameful attempt by Samsung to claim you have modified the hardware and therefore voiding your warranty.
Just root if you really want it, like people have said before, most repair centres don't care if the knox fuse had been changed.
Would Knox will be tripped if I install stock firmware through Odin?

Hmm, here in Lithuania, my almost 2 yr old, heavily modified S3's SIM reading died (EFS partition R.I.P) and they said they won't repair it because of obvious reasons. I forgot to unroot though. That's why I'm really scared to touch my N4 yet.
Just make sure you unroot flash a stock firmware if you have to repair your phone for some reason. Who needs KNOX anyways

Don't you think those 'professional' guys check KNOX before doing anything?
Actually if you still want to retain warranty status I would suggest to root after 8-9 months(assuming it's 1yr warranty) after getting the phone. If you can maintain that long without going to service centre, I'm certain that one would not need to visit a service centre after rooting the phone.
That way 8-9 mnths from now more developments would have been released and you'll have more things to try out without the need of going to a service centre.
I'm not sure what professional guys you speak of but the carriers service center does not care when fixing your phone as long as you return to stock firmware before you turn it in. So you could always wait for eternity

By professional I meant carriers service. So basically once my phone, god let that not happen, breaks, I just install non-rooted firmware with ODIN and I'm good to go?
Yes :good:

Well I'ma trust you on this one, let the customization begin!
:good: ^5 welcome to the darkside
I'm not rooted yet but am considering it once a few more weeks pass.
If something's fundamentally wrong with the hardware, it should manifest within a month, I'd like to think. Plus, I've never had a phone need repairs in the past. Which obviously bears no relation to this one going bad or not.
I doubt there'll be a ton of ROM choices for the Duos version but Play Store, Titanium, and Nandroids are nice to have.

hi there, have been a long time lurker and learnt alot through this site, but ..
i have an issue with a knox flag.. i know its not reversible but, the phone has never been rooted by me.
it was purchased brand new on a contract and developed a charging fault, it was sent back to the service provider who stated the phone was not under any warranty due to this. why would i want to remove warranty on a £600 phone??
it was updated to the latest firmware via kies on its initial supply and has been restored to factory defaults before it went back.
so my question is, how has the knox flag been tripped ?
any help would be gratefully received...
thanks all ..
Knox triggers when there are changes to the bootloader and system that are not signed by samsung.
When did you notice that knox was tripped?
No ideas ??

many thanks for the reply. . We were told by Vodafone when it was sent for repair as not charging.. They stated when the knox goes that's one of the symptoms. .. knowing what I do know that statement is a bit rubbish ... I'm not going to void a Warranty on a phone . It's never been rooted .. was updated via kies even says the firmware is valid and official
Many people have tripped knox and no one has a charging problem. So yeah, they talk nonsense.
Unfortunately samsung won't have any say in this because you bought it from vodafone and that means that they have to take care of the repairs.

Vodafone have refused to repair it .. apparently as it's blue case is not supported by them. So this means it's trial by fire and have to send it to samsung to get repaired . They were not willing to do anything.
I was wondering of the effort involved in changing the case to white or black.. seems Vodafone only repair the normal colours..
but that still makes me wonder about how the knox was tripped in the first place.
So just to confuse everything... we sent it back to samsung ... It came back supposedly repaired .. no mention of knox issue . It now overheats on charge so is going back BUT it was passed by them as in Warrenby ...
I don't think they check if the knox flag was tripped when it's a hardware related issue.
Mine gets hot too when charging. I think it's normal. It also says in the provided user manual that it might get a hot while charging and that this is normal.
Called Samsung today to see about having my phone repaired or replaced due to screen burn in. My phone is still under warranty but I wanted to know if have my knox counter at 1 will void my warranty. Sorry if this was asked already.

Normally your warranty will be void because u trip ifuse Knox counter...
if the problem is hardware ( screen , home boutton ...) , even with a 0x1 Knox manufacturer will support your pb.
Alright thank you guys I'll go ahead and delete the thread.

I live in the UK, so in theory I can give Samsung 'both barrels' of
1) UK consumer law
2) EU regulations
Both of which give the end purchaser extra protection.......
......BUT.....
Despite this, Samsung have told me in a series of emails, that a knox tripped device WILL IN EVERY CASE invalidate the warranty.....no matter what needs repairing.....even when I *specifically* mentioned the scenario where the hardware fault couldn't possibly have been caused by modifications to software, their reply remained the same.....no warranty repair.
It is a possibility that for a hardware repair, the service centre *might not* check the knox counter, in which case a repair would be undertaken, but if they do check it, you're outta luck......
