Hi all I hope... maybe also in the future is there's a way to reset knox counter on s7e
2 days ago a vertical pink line on screen... so I think there is not way to solve (I already tried with repair pixel app).
Is it possibile reset knox counter on s7e to use the warranty?
thanks all for help!
No, it's not possible to reset Knox-counter.

That's hardware defect. They should fix it regardless. Doesn't matter if rooted or not

I've had Samsung fix 2 broken screens free of charge while rooted. Warranty is the biggest farce ever. I root day 1 all the time.

Some people have gotten warranty repair with Knox tripped. Most have not, it seems. All you can do is try and see what they say.
But your subject line says "cracked screen." Samsung isn't going to consider that a warranty issue anyway.
Put an official ROM on it which will take root off.
Hope for the best when you go there.

Here they won't touch your device when it's rooted or knoxed. Been to the Samsung service center multiple times, so witnessed it first hand.

Well, the same story almost everywhere around the globe, except in Australia, US and UK somehow. OEM's really need to get their sh*t together concerning warranty coverage.
I'm don't know the regulations in Austria, I'm just guessing it's pretty similar to Germany. Have you tried claiming your "Gewährleistung", to say, the retailers warranty which is, at least in DE, set by the law?
I'd really love to have a lawyer look into the situation with Knox and warranty here in the EU.

With how quickly the S4 got locked down, I am wondering if folks expect that the S5 will be locked down from the get go.
Would be pretty disappointing if we could not install custom recovery and load custom roms...

I wondered if it'd be crippled by Knox.......
Oh well....when I'm up for a new contract.....looks like it's gonna be Sony (as I don't like HTCs attitude toward the dev community either).

So you trigger Knox and nothing else happens, just can't use it anymore.
No....just the fact that there is un-erasable proof that you have voided your warranty...... which, on a premium priced phone is a bad idea. I know that for most phone modders, triggering Knox is an acceptable risk, but for the few that have unrelated failures of the device.....to find that they have no recourse would be a REAL issue.......

Knox warranty shouldn't be the same as device warranty. It only means that you can't use it anymore.
Samsung never locked bootloader , they just add knox warranty void counter which is isn't restoreable to 0 outside Samsung service center
AFAIK this dont void warranty in all countries but it will in most of them
I'm pretty sure I've read that the device can't be used on some company/business networks if Knox has been triggered......
I'm pretty sure I've *also* read that Samsung are going to try to use it as a breach of warranty too......

Then it all goes down to how you approach them to request something. In the US it should be a hard time, but in the UE you are protected by the law, you can root your device freely. Here in Brazil they fixed my brick-bugged S2 under warranty.
Yeah....but a brick bugged device wouldn't power on, so there would be no way for Samsung to tell what OS you were using at the time it fried itself.......

So as long as you don't care about using Knox or voiding your warranty, you can still root the S5 and use custom ROMs/bootloaders, right? I couldn't care less about warranties or Knox. It's been about a decade since I've used a warranty on one of my phones.

In a conversation with a verizon salesman he told me this http://imgur.com/WlmNyl3
he probably doesn't know what you mean. he probably means like global unlocked.
the past few samsung devices have locked bootloaders, and verizon doesn't go around that. that, plus KNOX means the GS5 WILL have a locked bootloader, and we'll have to do some loki stuff to get around it like with the GS4/Note 3 etc
Knox has nothing to do with a locked bootloader.

That is also a Nexus phone.
The catch being Samsung and Verizon want enterprise adoption of the device, so like the S4, it will very likely be locked by same design.
No such concern with the Nexus.

That's not the point Knox is used for those secure businesses. It any way does it mean with having Knox means the bootloader is gna be locked. A bootloader can be unlocked with Knox still present but there is the Knox warranty that you would want to avoid of course.

I appreciate you sharing, but answers from a Verizon sales rep are about as meaningful as those from rolling a magic 8 ball. They very rarely have even the slightest clue as to what you are talking about. Actually since you have made the effort to visit this forum, chances are you already know more than they do.
I fully expect the VZ bootloader to come locked up tight. Hopefully we can get it unlocked as fast as the M8 did. I could care less about Knox or my warranty.

Hoping and wishing ain't going to make it happen - look no further than the VZN S4 / Note 3. If not for the loki exploit on the initial S4 release, AOSP Roms would be unavailable. Check out the Original Android Development section on the VZN Note 3.....that is most likely the future of the S5. Be happy with TW or get a Dev Edition - probably your only options.

Bootloader WIP
On the alliance rom page for the retail gs5, i saw a reply on a WIP bootloader. Idk if im the only one who saw this or some****, but I am extremely phyiched for it, and even that there is "progress" gives me some hope. CANT WAIT!!!
I am not one to root my phone so and tinker with warranty for the first year. However, having these two buttons as seen on the S5 will be a huge annoyance but one I may have to live with. Does anyone know if the Rogers S5 or Note 4 have this right out of the box, no settings to disable/hide it? TIA!

In light of the high possiblity that the S7 Edge will not get root I have been considering returning the phone and wating for the LG G5. So my question Is am I the only one considering returning it over the possiblity of no root?
Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
No, keeping mine.
I will be keeping mine. I have Exynos but not being able to root would not lead to me retuning the phone as it's not such a big deal to me.
However I understand your reasoning and believe a lot of people will also be returning due to this.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
I'm enjoying it, I don't really need to root since Package Disabler is all I need anyways. Besides if I wanted root, I'd just wait for the next Nexus device.
It's disturbing that we might not get to root... but all is not lost. We don't know what Sprint will do yet.
I've returned mine because it was faulty, and thanks to Samsungs ****ty return policy I had to buy another s7e from a local store, waiting on my refund for the faulty one

It would be nice but it's not a deal breaker for me. Although, I haven't ever had a device I didn't end up hacking in some way so it would be a first.

That will most likely be the case. The only way it can be rooted is if someone can find an exploit once the source is released.

Yea bootloader is locked, even if root is accomplished it will be very limited as far as custom roms and those sort of things, as well as being careful with automatic updates and stuff. I have till Saturday to make my return and barring some new development i more than likely will return mines. A stock device is too basic for me.

My feelings exactly. I love many things about this device but no root means no fun... yes there are a few work arounds but not enough. I hate stupid volume warning message an how I cannot take local backups with twrp an titanium backup. Also. xposed installer.
Back to Note 4 for me. I've been carrying them both around for the past week an surprisingly switching back to the Note 4 isn't that much of a difference justifying worth losing my access to root.
Are people really that negative that the S7 Edge snapdragon varient won't get root?
I bought triangle away app to reset my knox warranty void. But after launch app it not support my device. Please help me please make it supported for s6 edge plus.
Here is s6 edge plus (SM-G928C) triangle away dump file. I believe that this problem will be fix soon. Thank you.
