Hi friends,
I upgraded to lollipop on my i9295 and when I go to bootloader I no more find Knox Warranty 0x0, what does that mean that there is no more knox security on my phone?
Can I flash custom kernel and rom freely without voiding my warranty?
Thanks in advance
Can someone advise please

If you Knox counter does not say 0x0, then your warranty has been voided. You can freely flash any Rom or kernel you want since it's no longer 0x0.
I don't really know enough about Knox security to know what exactly it does, but I can tell you that I have both an i537 with Knox security and an i9295 without and I have no idea what the difference is.
Thanks,
Before going to 5.0.1 official (never flashed custom) it was displayed and after the update it dissapear. It seem strange for me
I think there is a misunderstanding it is not that it shows 0x1 but whether it does not show anything about knox on bootloader

I just pre-ordered my ATT S6 and I've got a few questions! I've been spoiled by my Nexus 4/5 when it comes to "openness" so all this Knox business is new to me.
I'm curious what I'm missing out on if I buy the ATT variant or try and get a T-Mobile phone unlocked. I've done enough reading to know that flashing a custom recovery will trip Knox, so I don't want to do that. If I have the Tmobile ver with a clean Knox, can I still install TW roms with Odin? Or do those require a custom recovery as well?
I'm really trying to decide if I should cancel my ATT pre order and try and get a TMobile model instead... but if the TMobile version won't gain me anything (I want to use Samsung Pay) I might as well stick with what I've got..
Well first off the ATT version will likely ship bootloader locked, which in this case you won't be doing anything custom to the phone that could trip knox...locked BL you won't be able to root (till an exploit is found, the current root depends on an unlocked BL and it will trip Knox)..As for TMO it is likely to be unlocked so you can root it, the current method will trip knox, flashing custom recovery will also trip it, and likely you can't reset that counter once its tripped, also if you flash anything in Odin that isnt official Samsung i believe you will trip knox as well (i believe theres a built in consistency/signature check for this) i could be wrong though as its been a while since I flashed anything on Samsung through Odin, I tripped my tmo s5 day one as I didnt care about the knox features.

Does anyone know if tripping Knox will not allow samsung pay to work?.... That's one of the many features I was looking forward to....

Most likely, nobody is going to know until Pay comes out, so figure August or so.
Damn, that's a long time to wait without rooting... Might just hold on to my note 4 for a bit then.... ?
I have looked on Google and in here but I can't find a straight answer. If I don't care about tripping Knox is there a way I can root my phone? I just really need to root my phone and I don't care about the warranty if that's the only thing it does. Thanks

Do you have an ATT branded model? If so, if you are on either of the two most recent software updates, there is no root right now.
OK yea im of4 and thanks I just didn't know if I could root and let it trip Knox or not at all
I bought my phone used and found out later that the Knox is tripped so I cant OTA update. Its G920AUCU3BOJ9 5.1.1. I'd like to get a custom ROM and I don't care about Knox\Samsung Pay or anything related to that. I don't know what my options are. Can someone tell me what ROM I can use or if I can root it? Ive looked and searched other threads for a while and there is always a gotcha that doesn't fit my constraints of knox tripped or the version im on or the g920a boot loader locked.
Closed at OP request.
knox has been triggered on my phone can i possibly reverse it
No unless you get a new motherboard
You can flash a modded kernel which masks the knox trip for s health but Samsung pay and secure folder is gone forever not coming back
That's what's stopping me from rooting
thats bad

No need to do that, there's a simpler way. Just disable tima in the build.prop. Microsoft apps will work agajn as well if one chooses to use them.
Change ro.config.tima to 0.

Unfortunately it's pretty much always been that way for knox with only a couple of of exceptions.
i have have samsung health up and running ..i want to see if i can use secure folder
Awful KNOX.... Samsung become peoples enemy, not friend!
Is it really true when you trip Knox a small chip on the mobo essentially destroys itself? Thus no way getting back 0x0 status?

What triggers Knox to trip and how does one avoid it? Can the phone be rooted with custom rom without tripping knox?
@Byte_76
That's not possible. Flashing custom binaries will trigger knox, live with it or stay stock.

Flashing TWRP and root will trip Knox on Exynos.
Flashing samfail(root) on snapdragon will not trip Knox. But no TWRP because of locked bootloader.

I have the 950F. So far I have left it stock because I don't want to trip Knox.
I don't care about Samsung Pay because its not available in my country anyway but I don't want to lose any other functionality.
My question is simple. Would it trip my Knox if I flash a custom recovery, like TWRP without rooting?
I want to flash some roms to give them a try but I don't want to trip my Knox. Is this possible?
Yes.
You will trip knox if you modify your system.
I think even just unlocking the bootloader to be able to do mods at all, causes the security chip Knox to permanently 0x1 (trip)

Yes? As if yes, it will trip Knox, or yes, it is possible to do it without tripping Knox?
