Hi guys
Last night I upgraded to N910TUVU2EPG2 official rom. My phone wasn't rooted and I was of official marshmallow rom but to my surprise after the upgrade to EPG2.... MY KNOX WAS TRIPPED
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 (2)
What am I supposed to do?
I mean I didn't do anything it was OTA UPDATE
Did you buy the device new? I have a refurbished note 4, and when I got it knox was tripped. I'm not sure if the previous user had rooted the device or if all refurbished devices have knox tripped on them for warranty reasons.

I have flashed official rom through Odin but my phone was never rooted. I was using knox since last 1 yr I can definitely say it wasn't tripped but yesterday there was an upgrade of abt 309 mb and suddenly I knox was tripped .
Do I have any option now?
I can't even check for official updates now it says
"The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way .try downloading software updates using smart switch on your computer or visit a customer service center. "
I can't connect through kies 3 and smart switch as well... Fail to initialize error in smart switch and in kies it just disconnects the phone when I try upgrading
First, if your device is over a year old the warranty is over anyway. Try using Odin to reset your firmware. Download from a reputable place like Sam mobile then let us know how it's going.

Is there any chance of returning Knox to it original count that is 0x0? I mean if I flash the original rom?
Or is the game over now?
If you've tripped Knox it's over. Are you still under warranty?

You can always use Odin to update your device.give me a minute and I'll find a Sam mobile download app for your pc. It'll help you download the latest firmware.

So my phone was on the latest update 4.4.2 and I accidently soft-bricked by flashing it the wrong way.
I tried to return it back to 4.4.2 AT&T version but Odin needed the PIT partition formatting so I had no luck because the .md5 file is not out yet (Right?).
So I am going to send this phone to my cousin in Asia and he needs the unlocked version. Can I flash it with the 4.4.2 international version? I think this time it will work because there is the .md5 file.
No you can not because of locked bootloader there is a thread in general that will get you up and running this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006

This is the thread Jerrycoffman45 was talking about - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006 . It will bring your phone back to MLG and from there you can root, install busybox, and then SafeStrap.

From what I am seeing in the comments, no one has reported that it counted as a flash against them. The user taki7610 posted a couple photos showing that his phone was up and running and that it still said 0x0.

Imnew214, please make sure to do research first before answering questions.
Did I misunderstand? Isn't 0x1 tripping knox, thus breaking warranty?

Yes, 0x1 is a knox counter trip. What I was saying was to check the forum to make sure whether or not it will trip knox. Anything that will trip knox will be clearly stated somewhere in the post.

Hello,
I have to send in my phone to get repaired to Samsung.
I have used ODIN quite a bit to restore back to official firmware and I am wondering if that makes the flash counter go up?
If it does is their a way to reset the flash counter?
Thank you for your time!

Using Odin to flash stock firmware doesn't trigger a flash counter if you're sending it back to Samsung the only thing you should check is that your Knox warranty flag is not tripped. To check that boot into download mode and if you see knox warranty void: 0x0 you're all good!

Not rooted or anything. I cant seem to receive any OTA from AT&T. Tried Samsung kies at it says my phone is on latest firmware, even though its only on kitkat 4.4.4
I found a solution by quick googling. I'm just wondering if this is advisable and wouldn't void my warranty.
http://www.droidviews.com/install-rooted-lollipop-on-att-galaxy-s5-sm-g900a/
Note: it does say install "rooted" lollipop on the link, but it was only optional. Seems pretty shady to me. I just don't want to flash anything unsafe that will mess up my device.
Is this reliable or is there another way? Not planning to root/void my warranty atm.

You could root and go to 5.0 and never use a root application. You could also unroot your phone using the app that prompts access to administer those privleges. Technically you would void your warranty but you can always downgrade back to Official 4.4.2 for any reason (sadly you can't root 4.4.4). Just a suggestion, my friend. ?

Hello everyone. I have a question in regards to rooting my S6. My s6 has version 5.0.2 and the OCG baseband. Should I upgrade to 5.1.1 before I root? I would like to root without tripping the Knox counter. Also, if I were to root without tripping knox, would I have to use this method every time I flash a new rom? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
just update to 5.1.1 and flash unibase kernel, why do you care about knox? it doesnt really matter if you trip it you still have insurance through your carrier, seriously knox is really only there for companies who provide phones to their employees and dont want them to mess with them.

I can understand that, but I would like to keep from tripping my knox counter. Anyways, I just rooted via PingPong successfully. How do I keep from triggering knox now that I am rooted? Can I flash TWRP or any other kind or recovery?? Thanks.
no, if you want to keep from tripping your knox counter you cant really do anyhting. flashing any kind of custom recovery or rom or kernel will trip it, all you can really do is just stay rooted and thats about it

Got ya. Guess I'm tripping knox then. Thanks for your help.
Ping-pong requires no computer, right? And also , is it confirmed working with this tmobile S6? I am on the latest update and have been stalling on root due to having no PC.

Hi guys I had thes8 plus and first thing I did was root and flash custom Rom when it come to selling it to get the note 8 I hated how many apps where still broken from tripping knox
My question is I don't want to trip knox again on my note 8 but how easy is it to trip knox?
Can any apps from app store trip it by mistake or using adb to say go to full immersive mode?
Or a couple off modded apps like YouTube modded?
Thanks

The only thing that will trip knox is flashing a custom recovery - which is required to root.
Don't root and you will be fine.
no apps can trip knox
adb wont either

You can use Odin without tripping Knox, you can flash other Samsung firmware and it won't be tripped just don't Odin a custom recovery.

Kind of you could still flash stock firmware fine if you needed to recover from a soft brick of some sort.
But yeah apart from that just stay away from it

It has the recovery needed to root (trip Knox) and has instructions on how to flash it. Does not get any more straight forward than this.
