Hello friends, I bought s7 Edge for the replacement of Nexus 6P. I dunno if it is a bad move or worst move. I'm little happy seeing the design of Samsung S7 Edge.
Here are my little doubts.
1. I know if we flash root, Samsung won't claim warranty. So is there anyway I can unroot my phone to claim my warranty back.
2. If I flash any custom rom from the development thread, will it count flash on s7 Edge so my warranty won't be claimed.

It isn't root that voids Warranty it's flashing a custom recovery such as TWRP or custom kernel.
I believe you can root then use Chainfires FlashFire to flash Roms. And not trigger Knox Count
However, to flash any custom Kernels you'll trigger Knox
Once you root you'll lose Samsung Pay if you use it.

So I can't reset my knox count. Few years back we had such option right, where we could reset the trigger knox count to 0

So it will be bad idea to run all this. So can you tell me a free guide on how to root without installing recovery or triggering the knox count. I just want to enjoy the stock rom and I also want to remove some bloatwares

Okay thanks buddy...
One more question, what if I flash the stock rom using odin. Will it trigger the knox count ?

No, but don't listen to the above. Rooting with above method trip knox too. Currently there is no root without tripping knox.
No, a stock ROM from Sammobile will not trip knox.

Hi,
May you suggest ways on how to return to complete stock or for warranty purposes? [emoji1]
Thank you for your time!

The most we can do is to do a super wipe and flash a stock rom with Odin, it will flash the stock recovery too, but KNOX will always stay at 0x1 until a genius dev(geohot ?) finds how to reset it, so if it's a Samsung Store they will not take it to repair.

Unless you live in Europe, Samsung and all the other OEMS are required to repair the rooted device under warranty unless they can prove with facts that rooting is the cause of the faillure EU law.
Hi guys,
I have a N910C arriving in 2 days and I'm looking for the most stable lollipop rom for it.
I found one from Poland on sammobile, but I believe it has carrier bloatware.
Also, the steps would be root, custom recovery, and flash. Am I correct?
Thanks
Yes, install that 5.0.1 from Poland and that's all...
Just Download Odin app and flash even without root.

Nope, it's official so It doesn't trip Knox counter. Also it doesn't have any kind of bloatware so flash it and enjoy your new phone!

Gracias che!
Can I still run CF Autoroot after flashing LP? Will this trip the counter?
Thanks again guys.
Sent from my SM-T700 using Tapatalk
Yes rooting will change Knox counter to 0x1
One last question guys
How's the battery and the performance of lp compared to stock KK?
Thanks!

Newbie here, so patience would be appreciated [emoji4]
I'm rooted with Echoe custom ROM but after noticing some battery drain (not blaming the ROM) I want to go back to a stock ROM and keep the root.
What would be the way to flash back to stock ROM and keep the root? I've seen 2 methods on XDA chainfire and the TWRP option. But I'm confused coming from a custom ROM.
I'd be grateful for any help [emoji1]
You can just flash stock rom while odin and reroot with either chain fire or twrp method

Thanks for your help. Is there any advantages using chainfire over TWRP and vice versa.

I'm not sure.
TWRP method require you to format internal storage to disable encryption but CF method won't.
Hi,
So basically I'm not new to rooting, custom ROMs/Kernels etc but this is the first Samsung device that I will be doing it to. I'm used to Nexus devices which are very straightforward. As I understand it Samsung's can be complicated! I also have the Exynos version SM-G935F. So what is the best way to go about it all? What's the best way of backing up so when I set it up again I can save a bit of time (if possible)? Also having the Exynos version, I understand some ROMs/Kernels won't work? I also sincerely apologise if this is already all explained somewhere, I did have a quick look through the guides but couldn't find anything! Thank you for your help.

I much prefer Odin over Fastboot
Rooting and flashing TWRP took me less than 5 minutes

Ok thanks. Anything I can do to backup my phone to make it a bit easier when I set it up again or do I just have to completely start from scratch? And what's a recommended ROM?? I'm guessing a TW based one? Thanks.

There's only TW Roms TEKHD is very good.
You can back up files on your pc before you root and flash TWRP

I'm running the UAE firmware on my FD currently and knox is not tripped. I use Samsung Pay twice a week without issue and have received every OTA since July.
