I know that rooting causes samsung pay to quit working. My question is that if
i decide to return back to stock using odin, W/O knox tripped, will samsung pay
start working again? i checked the threads, and couldn't find a clear answer. thought
a thread about it, in itself, would help.
thanks!

I googled through the forums (warranty exchange rooted mf3 s4 site:forum.xda-developers.com) a couple times and didn't find an answer to this one...
So I have my GS4 rooted on MF3 but I'd like to get rid of the rooted phone by just exchanging it at my local AT&T under the warranty (had it for a few months so no $35 restocking method here). Is there a way I could possibly throw it into a state where they wouldn't be able to tell it was rooted? I already got rid of the Custom boot screen and Device Status says Official. If I'm missing something there let me know. Could I possibly "try" restoring it using Kies and then bring it in? Any other ideas are greatly appreciated!
You can not "restore" it using kies or any other method.

Not attempting fraud, rather a kind of physical way to unroot.
There are multiple ways to unroot. You can unroot with SuperSU itself. Google will tell you how.

Hello everyone. I bought a Galaxy S5 SM-G900F 3 Months ago,and till then I kept it stock. I am undecided if to root/cwm and start modding it,or keep it stock till Android 5.0 From Samsung. The thing that stops me from doing that is the damned warranty that decays with Knox -.-" Till now the phone hasn't got any problems,nor I had to contact the customer care for issues. My question is,would it be worth to trip knox for modding it? And if the phone has any issue,can I avail myself of the European law on Android Phones? Sorry If this may be noob questions,but I'd really want to start mod my S5,and the only thing which stops me is Knox..

As for its it worth it to trip Knox, if you can avoid it great, it's your choice in the end but to me... I will never own a stock phone as long as XDA exists.. Just my opinion.

I knew of this,but it's only for root. I would install TWRP or CWM, and the CM12 Alpha..so knox gets tripped anyway no?

Yes, as soon as you install recovery, you trip Knox.
I don't think you can install CM12 without a recovery so yup, a choice has to be made.
I also have insurance on my phone so I think it is worth the risk for the enjoyment I get from fooling it.

I tripped mine 3 hours after I bought it, this is my 4th phone and all have been modded so I guess my opinion is obvious.

It is worth it, I tripped my know the same day of purchase, to me warranty isn't an issue.

Well,I kept mine stock with knox unaltered cause the first months there could be problems. I am 4th month now and no problems still....what will I lose apart the warranty? I read that fingerprinter scanner could not work anymore,right?

Fingerprint scanner still works on tw roms after knox 0x1.
Edit: just enabled Fingerprint scanner and it is working perfect.
SM-G900W8, 0x1
Just an FYI, no fingerprint scanner, and no heartbeat sensor, and no tw camera on any aosp or cm based ROM. If you'll miss those don't even bother tripping Knox.
No one reads, searches anymore.
This klte forums are like a kindergarten. Nobody knows nothing and want stuff handed to them.
Hi, I love this phone, but root has spoiled me. There are so many things missing from my device that require root, the most important of all, my precious adblocker :crying:
I know about proxy ad blocking but that doesn't work very well..
My question is, if I do root my phone, will I be able to unroot it and make it look like it was never rooted in case I need to return it while its still in warranty? I was able to do that with my Galaxy S4 by resetting some counters and flashing stock ROM, warranty guys didn't find out and I got my phone replaced. I'm not sure this will be the case with S7 Edge though, maybe Samsung found out ways to make this harder, I searched through google and I found no answers to this question.

After rooting if you want to unroot all you do is go
into your app drawer and uninstall the supersu app
and reboot the phone and you will be unrooted.
Don't worry about warranty, they don't even check
for root.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Hmm, I'm not sure I want to risk it, I remember on my S4 there were some warnings while the phone boots - https://imgur.com/3Eoedfg , which had to be removed before I return it since all they had to do to check if the device is rooted is turning on the phone. Will I be able to do the same thing with S7 Edge?
when u root u trigger the knox counter, and there's no way to return it to 0
technically, with a knox counter 0x1 you already lose ur warranty, but not all countries look for that thing, so check how warranty works in your country

Thanks for your answer, I'm not sure where to check for how warranties work in my country. When I search in google all I get is info on what Knox warranty void means. I live in London UK, and this is where I replaced my phone that was 0x1 on its KNOX counter which gives me a little hope that they do not check this.

Don't believe me because I'm not totally sure, but I remember a thread here a while ago (maybe a month after S7 came out) where this knox thing was discussed, and I'm pretty sure an user from UK said that in fact samsung uk doesn't check knox warranty, maybe looking for that thread helps you, the thread was somthing about rooting or knox warranty

Really?
It's very strange that behaviour!
Go to a repair center, Samsung, and ask for a solution.

Once you root you lose knox. No way around it.

You would have to reinstall the stock firmware back onto your device.
You've broken KNOX now, even flashing stock firmware won't bring it back. Only Samsung can reset it.

actually not even samsung can reset... its motherboard thing... change motherboard and you will get back knox.
First of all, this is my first post and I don't know it it's in the right place. If not could someone please move it to the right area? Alright, so, my issue is that I rooted and installed a custom ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and then the screen broke. I was lucky enough to be able to re-flash the phone with a stock ROM (Even with the bloatware!(Only time I think I will say that in a good way!)). I still need a way to remove the root so I can send it in and try to cash in on the warranty. I would be okay with paying for the repair but Samsung is currently closed to all non warranty repairs at the moment and really need my phone back. The phone is pretty much unusable, as whenever I open an app the screen goes all green and I cant see anything. It is definitely a hardware issue so please don't try to tell me to try things to fix it. I will be able to post all information needed by anyone that thinks they can help. It is a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
If you reflashed to stock rom, it'd mean you are no longer rooted.
If not, did you root using CF-Autoroot? If so, just download SuperSU from playstore and go to the settings and select full unroot.
But since you've rooted it in the past, you have already tripped your Knox counter and there's no way (that XDA knows about) to change that.
So if your samsung store check this, you're pretty much stuffed unless you take it to 3rd party repairs.

The root was supposed to not trip KNOX and I even was able to download an app that checked KNOX and the app said it was intact. I am going to send it in and see what happens.

There is no no-knox root, so either you haven't been rooted or that app was lying to you
Go here and read the title.
Interesting, did not know about that! Thanks
