What method did you use to root your phone?
You can use an app like rootbeer sample from playstore or APK mirror site to check root status
In regards to Shealth and Samsung pay not working is more likely due to the fact that you have tripped your Knox

Knox is hardware + software security locking system installed on your phone.
Once you install/flash unofficial firmware-recovery on your phone, the E-FUSE of Knox will be tripped physically.
There is no software bypass to FULLY UNROOT Latest Samsung flagship. The only way is to replace physical board with new Knox module in it. Only samsung service center are eligible to do.

How to root my S5 GM 900F?

Hi,
I've bought a S5 few days ago, I rooted it via towelroot and as stupid as I am I accepted an OTA update and everythings gone...
This was before I read about all that Knox et waranty things.
See my phone details in atachement.
So my question is simple, how to root this phone proprely again.
Thanks a lot.

[Q] Not quite sure how root, OTA and KNOX mix

Hi guys,
I have the G900F model and I'd like to root for two main reasons: de-bloat and recover SMS/MMS form my old phone (maybe this can be done without root but I don't know such app). It has stock ROM - ANE2 (CSC is AND1), knox is 0x0 and the device status is Official. OTA is pending but I haven't installed it yet. I found the towelroot thread and I'm clear how to root it without tripping knox. Several users also reported that device status remains Official using this root method. So far so good. What I couldn't find was whether after rooting I'll be able to update via OTA, or do I have to go the Odin way. In addition, will the root remain after OTA (if answer to previous question is Yes)? According to SamMobile the October update is ANH6 (CSC ANH2). It says it's still 4.4.2 so I wonder if there is a point in updating anyway. My goal is to have the latest official firmware with root. TIA

That's the thing though - if I update now I'm not sure if I'll be able to root again without any consequences. I'm not rooted at the moment so I can accept the OTA anytime. As I said in OP - I'm not even sure if the update is worth it. I read in some threads that the main purpose of the update was to patch the exploit used by towelroot on older firmwares.

You can root your phone again with framaroot etc. As same function..
The beginning of the framaroot OP states:
"!! Important !!
Success with this application void warranty on your device."
I also don't see the Galaxy S5 in the supported devices list.

Can You send me best guide to root my device?
Please, tell me about Knox. After root warranty will be canceled?
Additionally - I read about Samsung Apps (Samsung Health etc).
After roots Samsung apps not working - it is true?
Sorry for my english...
If you root, Knox will be tripped
you lose Samsung pay,Samsung health, secure folder etc.
warranty becomes void

Hello. I'm looking to root my phone. I have an SM-G950U on android oreo and I'd like to know if I can downgrade to nougat 7.0 and root at the same time with a cf-auto-root package from firmware.mobi

Samdung s8 U version is using a snapdragon Soc or cpu ( idk) and all snapdragon samsung s8 and s8+ have their bootloader locked.. ( imagine ur bios patition for ur pc (sort of))
so with a locked bootloader which u cannot unlock ure stuck with official samsung upgrades..
this locked bootloader also locks u from downgrading.. meaning ure stuck with oreo.. theres no way back..
trying to force to erase ur samsung oreo to clean the partition to manually install android 7 will brick your phone ( where as theres no way to install another software on a phone that has no connection with hardware,basically ull have some metal and glass componnents... a dead phone..nothing can be done after) ..
Just wait a couple of months till Samsung hopefully fixes some oreo bugs.
Also rooting isnt possible at the moment with samsung s8 and s8+

Doubts regarding rooting my out-of-warranty Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro

This thread was originally posted at https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/doubts-regarding-rooting-warranty-t3862751
Hi. I own a Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) (SM-A910F/DS) with Android 8.0 (August security patch). It is now out of warranty. I want to root it. I do have prior experience in rooting my secondary Android phone but this phone is my daily driver and hence want some doubts cleared before attempting to root it using Odin. Following are the questions I need answers for:-
I am just going to root my phone to do some small scale customisation. I don't want to flash a custom or stock ROM. Some sources on the internet say that simply rooting the phone won't trip its KNOX flag while others say it will. What is the truth?
If indeed the KNOX flag gets tripped, will I ever be able to use Samsung Pay on my phone again?
If the KNOX flag doesn't trip, will Samsung Pay work on a rooted phone?
The firmware.mobi site hasn't yet updated the SM-A910F's firmware version to that of Android 8.0. My phone had received the Oreo update on 18th October, 2018. Can I still root my phone using whatever latest CF-Auto-Root package I get from there?
How to know if my phone is encrypted? I am confused about this because I haven't manually enabled any kind of encryption on my phone but since there is so much caution regarding rooting an encrypted phone, I don't want to take any chance.
So, these are the 5 questions which I want satisfactory answers for before I root my phone. A good explanation which will ward off my anxiety will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
