Hey guys,
I always used custom rom in my life, i was at Xperia Z1 and the stock was very bad... But with S6 i don't feel i need to get a custom, i enjoy a lot the Samsung work on the stock, but after looking the Miui 7, i really thought in flashing the custom rom.
So the question is... I saw that Knox and Samsung Pay will not work after the process, is there a way, later, that I can get back to original and get the Knox and Pay working again? My concern is about the security on Knox and the Pay when i sell the phone in the future, because I don't use this feature...
Thanks a lot if anyone can answer me!
Im no expert on android devices but from what I am heard you have to do a full factory reset to a stock rom and samsung pay will be enable but knox counter will still show that it has been tripped.

Hi!
First time posting on this forum, after installing like 40 custom roms from this site.
I have a question, with the current Knox issue, I would like to know if its ''worth it'' to install the stock google edition rom. I have in the past, as noted before, flashed ALOT of custom firmware's on my old Galaxy S1. Although I didnt care much about warranty issues back then, I do know. And the Knox flag is not making things much easier for me as I cant hide the fact that I flash custom firmware.
So, is the google edition all that good for the S4, and might it be possible that in the future, you can install custom firmware without tripping knox 0x1?
Thanks in advance
My question is in the title of thread? So i had an xperia sp, and i unlocked bootloader and installed a cyanogenmod and i had an warranty (broke my microphone) And they gave new phone to me, i hope that they will be stuipid in services if i somehow spoil my phone (god forbid (google translate)).... But never mind for warranty, probably i will install cwm and flash new roms cause i want to make more video reviews about roms kernels etc.. Also check out my channel on youtube if you want. Whats your opinion?
Well if you want to flash roms then you HAVE to root
Best thing I did was to root & flash this phone
4.2.2 original rom should equal to no knox enabled so root away. On the other hand, if you're worried about warranty and you're on 4.3.x or 4.4.x then your warranty is lost if you tinkle with it - Knox is going to be triggered and warranty is void.
Do the math and root awayall the same , and do take care about your phone there are much more benefits from rooting it, then not doing so
Hey,
I have recently acquired SGS4 in place of my SGS3. I have used to change a rom every week, but now all I would like is a stable, rooted and .
I just discovered all the fuss about Knox and I am even more dissapointed. I really didn't want to buy another Samsung device (Exynos resources, SDS and their horrible overlay) but the offer on it was just insanely good compared to everything else to I took it.
Anyway, below are my current bootloader/firmware information:

As you can see it is 4.3 from T-Mobile from november.
Now would you be so kind and tell me:
Can I root and modify my rom and bootloader on any custom without loosing my warranty?
If not, can I root and change the rom to the google edition?
If nope again, hopefuly I can at least use root with one of the latest Samsung roms? (without T-Mobile bloatware)
You live in the EU. That means that even if Samsung doesn't want to fix your device because you tripped Knox (unlikely that they won't fix it), the store you bought it from still has to fix it even with Knox tripped. That is consumer law which should also apply in Poland.
You can only root without tripping Knox.
You can not flash a recovery without tripping Knox, thus you cannot flash custom roms without tripping it.
So just root and flash the rom you want. You can even skip the part of rooting and just flash a custom recovery.
There are no downsides if you tripped Knox.
So I flashed the SuperStock ROM the other day. To get Samsung Pay working.. can I just flash a stock TMobile firmware (i have a tmo model) via ODIN and restore the phone back to stock ? I understand Knox will still be tripped once I flashed it. Will that prevent Samsung Pay to work ? Anybody do this before ? lol

Hi there! Nice to see you around... used your ROMs years ago on my HD2!
Well, regarding knox, as far as I could read so far, there is no way around it, except a dev has a something hidden and didn´t tell the community yet. Once tripped, there is no way back and samsung pay won´t work, unfortunately. I already tested by "unrooting" and flashing a stock rom through odin. It will state that the rom is official but KNOX = 1.
Hello,
So recently, I've encountered the same Issue I've been having for a long time with any sort of Samsung device - performance. I find my device annoyingly slow. A factory reset fixes this but then the phone bogs down.
I've decided to look into potentially flashing a custom rom to see if they're far more optimised than the stock rom. The problem is, I'm a warranty freak. I like to keep my warranty intact and modify the device later on once the warranty has gone. Obviously, the Knox flag is a thing and I don't want to trip it.
When I had my One Plus 3, I had none of this and rooting/custom roms didn't bother me as it was covered in the warranty - this is a big no no with Samsung.
I'm not so much wanting to change the kernel or the bootloader or use TWRP - just install a new custom rom to hopefully get some performance gains and maybe root too.
TL;DR Is there a viable method to installing a custom rom without tripping Knox?
I am precisly on the same situation as you are

If you have a exynos version then its impossible this moment to have a custom rom without having twrp, which in turn will trip Knox and may effect warranty depending what currently in

Dang it, I do have the Exynos version.
So is there an exploit only applicable to the SD variant?

Yep, the kind-of exploit is only on SD variant.
Although, it can be said that the exploit isn't that good as well, since you will be unable to flash custom ROM (only debloats etc IIRC).
So, they are unable to flash cutom kernel etc.
hi , what about installing custom rom with heimdall? no need for root, no need for twrp. will this triggger knox as well? does exynos/snapdragon matter in this scenario?
hey,
heimdall is only an alternative to odin, anything non samsung trips knox
Is there any way to flash an official rom without rooting to replace my actual one from my carrier? or just a way to at least change the boot screen logo?
