IMHO, HOSE KNOX - The only thing that is going to happen is that it will void your Warrenty. If you also have insurance, which you should for a $700 phone, you are good to go because you'll probably drop it.
Slipery little devils, these phones. My carrier support guy was all like, "What I would never tell you to do is..." "...but you shouldn't do that. I couldn't possibly reccomend it."

The problem here in Canada we don't have phone protection with Wind Mobile so I wanna try to keep Samsung's warranty as much as I could because I am starting to already see a problem with the call quality with the phone speaker not the stereo speaker but the ear speaker.
I need root because I need to change the stock Samsung font and I wasn't able to use the font I want with flipfont.

OIC, but for $700 USD I would RMA that sucker immedilately. Especially for what sounds like hardware issues.

If I gave some effort I'd find that facepalm picture.
Why do n00bs root their phone?!?!?! JESUS!
Maybe you should have researched what you were going to get yourself into before you rooted your device, there is no way to complete 'unroot' the phone at all. I don't believe google will have the ability to flash the firmware that allows it to go back to stock, so if they're 'nice' they'll have to send it to HTC.
You're **** out of luck, next time research and now you'll have to enjoy your Nexus One. Might I ask, why don't you like it anymore?

You have completely undoubtedly altered the phone beyond typical repair by Google's end, they will need to invest money in order to have HTC relock the phone. There is no way to 'relock' your bootloader, which is where you voided your warranty. I would not waste their time or your own money in trying to send the phone back rooted in order to obtain a refund

You're getting a new phone for the $130 deductible... and you don't send your broken one in. You keep it too... Hold on to it and see if you can get a replacement LCD to fix it and sell it later.

Really? I was under the impression you had to send it in by the way the Tmob rep explained it. I've been wondering about that for a while, how it would work in case of theft or something like that. Good information to know

Repair center in the US

I have a GT-N7000 bought from England and it experiences periodic lock ups. I had the brick bug and used the PIT method to fix it. It does work but it does experience random periodic lockups. Just enough to be annoying. Since I really love this phone I expect to keep it a while and I have decided to get it repaired, even if I have to pay for it. But I don't want to send it to England if I can avoid it.
So three questions. 1, can I send it to the Samsung US repair facility? It is not listed on their web site as a supported model. 2. Anyone know what a motherboard replacement costs (yes, I know expensive, but a dollar amount?) 3. Has you have used that facility then how fast was the turn around? Thanks.

Unroot blinfolded? Note 5 ink covered entire screen.

Hey guys, so out of nowhere my Note 5 had a patch of ink on the screen that grew overnight, and now the entire screen is black, but the phone works normally it seems. My warranty is still good, so I need to send it to Samsung, but I worry that they notice I rooted it. Wat do?
Can I unroot blindfolded?

I'm pretty sure there are 2 kinds of warranty, software and hardware, just tell them you need a new screen and that's it, i might be wrong so search for the software and hardware warranty thing
This is why you shouldn't buy Samsung phones. I was overseas when this happened to me, and because I didn't buy it there - they said no..
Just replace the screen yourself. Samsung support is among the worst for warranties.

Brick my Note 8 to warranty

I have a problem with my Note 8, the speaker has gotten wet a little over two weeks ago and it is not working well, I have not even submerged the phone, so I called Samsung's warranty and they tell me that the warranty does not cover that type of sinister for which I have to pay for the repair, then I want to brick my device to the point that I never turn it on again and so I change it for a new one, does anyone know how I can definitely brick? my version is Exynos, I tried to flash the firmware of the SD version but Odin will not let me do it.

I have a home owners insurance that covers theft, loss or damage to mobile devices too. Maybe you could try that if you have one too. BTW why isn`t water damage covered when its IP 68 rated?

It looks like my previous post did not post so i will repeat it. The reason it isnt covered is because theres no way to prove the phone did not go past the IP68 rated depth or timeframe.
To the OP. Sadly your method will mostlikely not work and you will be without a phone altogether because you already called and "admitted" water damage. Because of that your warranty is probably void altogether.

Will Samsung replace my Phone due to deep discharge battery problems?

Will Samsung replace my Phone due to deep discharge battery problems even if my warranty is void?
PS I rooted my phone and tripped knox.
Model SM N950F
You say the warranty is void and you rooted, sorry but, how do you think possible that samsung would repair/exchange your device if you clearly say that you do not have a valid warranty?
Btw, there are ways to get your phone alive again, search for them, and remember to NEVER let your batt reach zero charge, keep it above 20%
Don't know the answer to your question as it depends on your Country's laws whether warranty is void from rooting & trippin Knox. I'm in the US with a F model so regardless or root or Knox being tripped, I can't warranty my phone if ever needed through Samsung USA but I'm not concerned.
There's an app for this. Once you get your phone charged & powered back on, install this app & you won't have to worry about it again. I donxt even know if my F has the issue but I'm using this app anyway. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/g95-deep-discharge-protection-t3731103
Are you on latest firmware or rom? It was said that this is a software issue & should have been fixed. But I haven't seen any confirmation of this though. If that is true I would have expected it to be fixed with Oreo as this problem was known with Nougat. However it seems like not all models are affected so it's possible that it's not a software issue.
If you have had your device for about 14 days, yes. Samsung will replace it. However if you have had it longer than that, it will be repaired.
Like others have said it depends on what country you are in. If you are in the EU they have to either fix or replace even if it is rooted due to the laws here.
Void warranty by knox so don't even bother

Well, I think that you should not waste more time, and try to get your device serviced asap
I can confirm In EU If you send it back to Samsung. Even rooted and tripped, they will repair it under warranty. The fact in EU, is that the manufacturer have to proove, that the root is the cause of your malfunctionnement. If they can't or if it's not due to this. They take it under warranty. That's the law here and i'm glad of it !
If it's in warranty they will only fix it, unless you have the problem 3 times like my girlfriend phone then at that point they will replace with a brand new note 8. I was lucky to only have the discharge issue once on my phone, but looking back on the decision to get me and my girl matching note 8s was a bad Christmas gift just for her to be without her phone 3 times smh ?
