Hey all im new here and i came from a nexus 6p. Im eager to root the s8 but since this is my first samsung device i have been doing some research about KNOX and the warranty and that it apparently voids the warranty. So really my question is by australian consumer law, does samsung still have to repair the device even if knox was tripped? Thanks in advance hopefully someone can clarify this for me. ?

Hey guys, i recently got a new Samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9505 and i want to root it. If so, do i need to unlock the bootloader first or do i just root my phone as is? Also can anyone link me directly to a thread where i can unlock the bootloader of my phone, thank you
Any help?
The Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 doesn't have a locked bootloader but rooting will void Knox warranty unless you use a method that doesn't. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784433 to try and root without voiding Knox warranty.
Hi everyone, I got my S5 3 months ago and I regret that I didn't read the instruction carefully.
I thought that the principle of rooting S5 was same as S3 so I have tripped the KNOX counter.
If my S5 has a focusing problem and I can guarantee that this was not cause by me (because this problem occurred once I brought) and I still go to Samsung Care, will they still fix it for me?
I am frustrated with this problem for this 3 month, please help me and sorry for my poor English bro.
P.S. I live in Hong Kong

They sould take it without a doubt.. It hardware issues.. Sooner youll taje there better. [emoji106]
Is it worth keeping knox intact ? and if its not so important, is it possible to root the Samsung S6 Edge+ 928I ?
It is possible to root the G928i but not without tripping Knox. If you care about Samsung Pay or Android Pay don't root it. Otherwise I think Knox is pretty useless beyond maintaining a software warranty.

Those things i'm not worried about and i've never used. Is there likely to be an engineering bootloader for the G928I do you know ?
Hi to all,
I've got two questions for all of you.The first one is:is there a way to reset the knox to 0x0 on Samsung Galaxy S5 Duos (SM-G900FD) ,as for the Samsung SM-N900?I saw a video on youtube a few days ago,uploaded by @R Reviewers where the Samsung SM-N900's knox was reverted back to 0x0.Is there a way I can revert the knox to 0x0 on my Samsung Galaxy S5 Duos?
I really do need to get my warranty back!
My second question is:is there a free method to unlock my phone (with software or something else,but to be a FREE way)?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards!
Not possible, Knox is a physical thing, when you trip Knox there's a physical change on the board.

1. No way to reset a tripped KNOX flag on our devices (as of now).
Here you can read more about this topic :
[RESEARCH]Samsung Knox: Warranty Void Behavior by theq86.
2. There are paid services to unlock the device for all networks. Usually you have ask the carrier/provider to which it is locked to for an unlock code. Some do, some want money and some won't do it at all.
Here you can find threads about network unlocking on xda:
Threads Tagged with network unlock.
... sounds strange to me to have a dual SIM device locked to one network ... for both SIMs.
Hope that you get it unlocked.
Good luck!
More details for the previous questions!
Hi,
so first of all I would like to thank Rakuu and It_ler for replying to my thread!
This time I would like to add some more details for the two questions I asked you in my previous post:
1.How did the guy on the video on youtube : Reset Knox in your Exynos Note 3 with @R Reviewer (I can't post links till I post 10 posts,so I post you the name of the video on youtube and please check that video on youtube in order you could answer my question) reset the knox on the Samsung SM-N900 to 0x0 with some bootloader?(And the bootloader files are from rhe xda!)
2.In my previous post I didn't tell you that my phone was unlocked until I made a factory reset to it.Do I need to ask for help from the phone seller to unlock the phone again( but I lost my warranty after I tripped the knox!) or I can unlock it myself?What do you think?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards!
I just bought a T580 and seeing all the available roms for that devices (especially those enabling the 64bit part of the CPU) I am wondering what exactly are the consequences of tripping the knox counter.
For my Galaxy S8 I know that some Samsung apps will cry about the fuse being burnt but in a Galaxy Tab?
I have never used secure folder or something.
Is there anything other to look after while flashing these devices (apart from warranty issues)?
Regards,
Martin

For some odd reason I didn't even trip Knox on my tablet, at least it isn't *****ing about it. Last time I did was on my S4 a few years ago and I'd see it every time the damn thing booted (I think?).
Someone told me these tablets don't even have working Knox? No idea, but I haven't seen any indication of it having been tripped, despite having TWRP installed and being rooted on a custom rom.
I don't use any Samsung apps either though and custom roms don't tend to care about anything Knox
So unless you HAVE to use Samsung apps I think you'll be fine :good:
