You can't fix Knox once the eFuse is blown there's no fixing it.
You should've known rooting devices will have a chance of voiding warranty.
Once you've installed Custom recovery like TWRP you've voided Warranty.

This is an expensive lesson but you'll now know that it's always important to read and read and learn. That way you can gain some knowledge and, most importantly, it's free.
If it makes you feel any better OP, I learned the same mistake the same way with a Note 5.

Tripping knox is only bad when you want to claim warranty for the phone due to a hardware problem. Otherwise, it's perfectly running normal without any effect on the phone's performance.

You still have a chance of taking it to the service center without telling them about root. Just flash a full stock rom before.

Thanks for the good advice I sent a message to the shop where i bought it and they mailed me back that i have to bring back the device so tomorrow i'll bring it back.
I think a lot of folks who are new to Samsung phones never heard of Knox and therefore did not know something like that could be irreversibly tripped. Still, no excuse for not proceeding more cautiously and doing advance research.
It's a good phone, you probalby won't need waranty anyway

If your Rooted with TWRP installed there are Custom Roms the uses Magisk systemless Root that has Knox working to locate the device
Do some searching in the s7e threads and read a lot before doing anything.

I learned the hard way my friend.
This is a public forum and you'll find all types here. I also understand somewhat the rudeness from some members. This is really supposed to be a development site and there are Rules in place members are supposed to read, especially Rule number one which basically States search first.
Here's a piece of advice I was given some time ago as a new member.
Read everything search constantly and when you think you've read enough read more.
Then when it comes time to modify you're expensive device re-read what you've already read.
That has served me well. I'm no geek by any means geez I rarely turn my computer on. However I can read.
Good luck and be thankful you just voided Warranty and not ruined it.
Oh and thanks for the kind words I appreciate them.

I got my S4 today, rushed home to open the package really excited to come straight onto xda and root it, as I need to run arliberator app in my car and also titanium backup to get all my data over from my old galaxy.
Now I see that i cannot root it because of Knox and that even though it is unlocked after kkitkat I wont be able to use my foreign sims when i am abroad which i always do as roaming costs are extortionate!
well my S4 has sat here all day switched off and I don't even want to switch it on, its a useless brick as far as i'm concerned i am hugely disapointed and really wish I had bought the Z1 or even the old xperia z instead of this SamDung
maybe you are one of the lucky ones with an old boot loader .if your firmware is older than mgg like ending with mga you can root without voiding your warranty .

Are you not still within a cooling off period if youre not happy and want to return it for a refund?
I wouldn't rush out to get the Z1 either as there appear to be issues unlocking the boot loader as in the below link. Ive also had HTC devices were it was nearly impossible to gain s-off (having to perform a wire trick to apply an engineering hboot). If you check the HTC One forums there are people on a recent hboot who are unable to s-off as its been locked down by HTC, which can cause headaches when trying to flash certain ROMs.
The reality is Samsung just isn't making devices specifically catering for people who like to modify/flash custom stuff. If you want full control of your device with an easily unlockable boot loader, then get a Nexus.

2 questions:
1) What is your firmware? Old firmwares can be rooted fine
2) Even if you have knox, you can still root. You just lose your warranty. Are you ok with that?

I'm on MH8 4.2.2 so i'm affected before i even had a chance to set up my phone, I didnt buy it on a contract and i cant return it now.
Of course I am not willing to void the 2 year warranty on an expensive phone this new, no way!
The xperia boot loaders don't need to be unlocked to flash modded/custom roms if they come off a sony base rom so it's all good, better camera waterproof and a dev friendly company
so now then...Anyone want to buy this S4 from me?

You do realise that even if you didn't have the locked down Knox firmware, you'd still be voiding the warranty, regardless of if you used an app like Triangle Away, right? That's the risk everyone takes when rooting.
You've basically just come on here and opened a new thread to whine about something the vast majority of us already know about.

warranty is a fiction it dont protect against software bug bricks as there is no chance that you permanently brick your phome that way. it also dont protect for physical damages and water effects. if something is wrong service tell that is your fault anyway. so dont bother about warranty and root it

Umm rooting does not void your warranty. At least not here in Finland. The company is responsible for proving that the cause for say a hardware defect was indeed caused by the software and not an error on their part if the phone for some reason breaks down. They usually don't bother and just repair it under warranty.

there has been issues before on previous samsungs with usb connectors stopping charging, phone randomly switching off etc and who knows what might wear out on the S4 as its still pretty new, I'd rather not take the risk, also if you come to sell your phone and the buyer sees your warranty is void it will make your phone harder to re sell on

I've already accepted the risk. If something happens, it'd be very hypocritical of me to whine about something I knew could and did happen.
I know how easy it is to flash back to stock and hide evidence of it being rooted and customised. I've been doing this since the G1.
You won't find me opening a thread when I don't like something. Especially when it could have been prevented by doing a little research before buying the phone.

Here in the UK, it's kind of the same. Yet companies here will still try and point the finger of blame at custom software when it's clearly a hardware fault.

You gotta return to stock using a computer. There is no other way to do it other than this method. Hope it works out for you!
Surely you will be paying for the repair anyway?
Could he not just use the LG tool to flash the stock image, or do you have to accept something on the touch screen?

That would be the revert to stock method I was referring to. He could then get an insurance claim on it and pay no more than $100, assuming the OP has insurance.
Far as I know he doesnt have to use the touch screen to revert back, its all done with the tools given in the revert methodology, but correct me if im wrong on this.

If you're using insurance don't waste your time. Neither care about root whether it's warranty or insurance but call and ask if you want. Insurance will straight up tell you they don't care. You're paying anyway.

I wouldn't end that statement with "sorry". If he just bought it like that, he's not going to be the least bit disappointed with having to reset it in order to make it work. Just being able to make it work is all he's after. I'm sure he's ecstatic to know that he can

I may be a bit biased because I've rootedand customized phones since the D1, when it was MUCH harder than it it currently. But I have always found ODIN very easy to use. In reality, I'm sure the OP could look up a video on youtube on how to use ODIN and get his phone working in like 20 min (minus download/setup times for ODIN, ROM, etc.). And I'm sure he saved a bundle buying it like that. He just needs to pray it's not IMEI locked on top of it, or all that effort will have been wasted

hi guys i brought a s7 from this dude at a swapmeet and its asking me for the last email address safe to say its lock and ive been ripped but any way i can sort this without a hammer please guys cheerz
Hi, my phone is an s7 edge exynos g935w8 and I've tried using triangle away to reset the knox counter but that doesn't work... So are there any other options?
The only option is app called KNOX disabler. It reverts knox back to 0x0. But your warranty is void anyways

No,knox counter is one time programmable e-fuse,when burned and get status 0x1 its irretrievable,that is the point of knox,more here
I am looking for a nox reset also. F*ck samsung. They dont want to fix my S7 edge flickering screen because of root. YES root made my screen flicker!!

Surely everyone knows that your warranty is void if you root your phone. It is classed as mishandling and can cause vulnerable software to be installed.
Your flickering issue may not be caused by rooting but the fact you rooted the phone goes against Samsung's terms of use and therefore they have no obligation to fix the phone for you.
I am rooted myself but when I did root, I accepted the fact that I would void my warranty, therefore I took out insurance that would cover any damage I may get. This is not Samsung's fault, it is your own fault for rooting if you wanted to keep your warranty.

It's pointless imo. The device is still knox-tripped, the phone just shows 0x0 instead of 0x1. I see no reason why this would be useful.
Of course, and by the way I don't have any reason to revert to 0x1 or 0x0 ... my provider/seller will never look at this for warranty
But it would be funny if Samsung accept to repair a 0x0 fake device lol

You can use knox apps like disconnect , myknox with that with root and custom rom and probably Samsung pay ? They are still testing if samsung pay works . But for warranty , it's useless lol.

Otherwise you woulda thought about consequences or you just don't know yet how the world works. That's how you make money on silly customers. PEACE

It is funny isnt it Not young and money is quite important to me. And I know exactly how the world works, because I got it fixed and didnt pay Samcrap. And, guess what, NO they dont make money on me, maybe people like you, because it is the LAST Samcrap I buy. Kijiji listed and should be gone in a few days.
WAR
Is it not law in uk an EU that rooting or messing with software DOES NOT void warranty?

You can use knox apps like disconnect , myknox with that with root and custom rom and probably Samsung pay ? They are still testing if samsung pay works . But for warranty , it's useless lol.

I can't comment on other apps but it will NEVER work on Samsung Pay
If Your mainboard is completely damaged they will never know about tripped knox fuse.....

What do you mean? If you put your s7 on fire they won't find out I suppose but do you think your warranty is not void in this case?

It's well known that first thing the serviceman will do is flashing Sammy rom which reverts knox back to 0x1 no matter what

if it's clearly a hardware problem, would they still bother flashing stock? cos that would mean data is wiped after every samsung repair.
I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned at all on this forum, unless I'm reading it completely wrong.

Now, full disclosure, I haven't actually done this but it is very interesting. I haven't tried my device since the note 8, and is have to get more comfortable with knowing how to unroot before I attempt this. In addition to the details installing custom recovery, I'm just not ready I guess. I'm talking myself up though lol
What do you guys think?

Didn't try it but glad to see there's an option for it now, even if it costs $150

Yes, forgot to mention that. It's posted on XDA's page, so I figured it was okay to share. Thanks for mentioning that detail!

Yeah price is a little steep but will be worth it. I never use samsung pay so losing it is no big deal. Just hope there are some devs out there to cook up ROMs, kernels, etc!
Hey guys, I've been out of the loop since the Galaxt S2 lol... Is it a possibility to pull the unlocked/rooted image off of one phone and use it for others?

You have to unlock your bootloader before doing anything. That's where the issue is
Interested in seeing the results for somebody
That's a bit too much for something you have to wait for someone to have the time to do it .
It comes from China and have to use teamviewer and what about a refund if it doesn't work? Think I'll just stay stock for the mean time, no telling what might get installed on your phone.

Well, I already have WeChat installed so if they are gonna get me, they did long ago lol. Besides, if you root your phone this is a risk you're taking right off the bat. There's a reason Enterprises don't allow rooted devices to connect thru Microsoft/Exchange Activesync services.
Giving superuser access is a risk.
Edit: it also clearly states there is no refund if it doesn't work.

I know the risks of root been doing it for years, just think the risk out weights the advantages with China involved!

No the token is special to each device

The guys doing it are legit. So all the nasty comments can go up the road. It's either pay it or don't. If you don't. Don't whine about it. Cause obviously you don't know
This method also works for the Canadian variants as well.
Personally I'd probably stay stock but I can see many take advantage
of this method to Root their smartphones.

Ye sir, I agree with this sentiment. Please don't take my sarcastic response as an insult to China. It's 100% the opposite. More skeptical of a product/service purely because it originates in China? What a joke.

But the question in play is development. You pay and then no development hurts too. Thats why I try to stick it with known models if at all possible
i rooted my U model
will cost you 125
that's not something you'd spread on xda

More then likely somebody will copy it and either charge money as well or just release it to the general population. Stuff leaks happens all the time and seeing that they are making what seems to be good money gives even more attraction to those skilled enough to copy it.

I suppose my feelings about paying are: if I want to root bad enough, I'm gonna want it $125 bad. In the scheme of things, is not a huge amount. Not if you can afford a $1300 smartphone, or even ~$800 with trade in.
And yes, it's also worth supporting development.
Edit: also agree, there is a lot going on in China. I've worked with colleagues in China and have friends there. Is a different culture there, there's so much more job competition than here. There's not room for half-assed efforts.
