Hi, there is any ADB command that voids the warranty and the knox?
I want to use the adb commands to add fingerprint gestures, hide the navbar(using fluid gestures)
Some of these commands does void the warranty/knox?
Thanks in Advance
Adb command alone won't void warranty/knox.
Even if u unlock bootloader, as long didn't flash custom recovery/boot img/root, knox will stay untouched.
Correct me if I'm wrong
If you have Exynos version you can't root WITHOUT voiding KNOX...

Unlocking the bootloader WILL trip Knox.
So, none of the adb commands can void the knox? I can use them normally?

Technically turning on oem unlock only, which will factory reset won't trip knox.
Knox will be tripped once flash recovery or something like that, and of course will need unlocked bootloader for that.

Can you prove that unlocking the bootloader doesn't trip Knox? Everything I've read says as soon as you unlock it, Knox is toast. Why anyone would just unlock the bootloader I don't know.

Hi to everyone!
I just find that it's possible root our phone without unlocking the bootloader (and lost the dmr key).
What about the warrancy? If I root in this way I'll void it? or what?
Thanks in advance
Once you unlock your BL your warranty is essentially gone.
Because you can't undo the process (unless you backed up your TA partition).

I'm not sure I understand - the OP asked if the warranty will be voided if he roots the phone using the newer method without unlocking the bootloader. Or do you simply re-lock it later with this method and the warranty is still voided?

That's why I said that the warranty will only be voided if you unlock your bootloader. All other things like root etc, you can just revert and Sony will never know it.

Whats Huawei/Honor's policy on rooting the phone? Will it void the warranty (like Xperia's) or is it more like relaxed like Xiaomi? Does the bootloader come unlocked?
And whats the level of bloatware/spyware like on Honor phones and the 9 lite in particular? Is it possible to uninstall all the pre-installed apps or just some it?

AFAIK you lose your warranty when you unlock the bootloader. No bootloader is locked when bought.
You can uninstall most of this bloatware, some are protected because they are system related. But no prblem for me.
BTW, already unlocked mine, just waiting for some TWRP and then I will try this LOS thing...

Do you mean to say new phones do not have a locked bootloader? So why do you have to unlock yours?

Sorry, forgot a comma: No, bootloader is locked when bought. Never heard of an Android with unlocked bootloader when it's new.
So: Yes, bootloader is locked, you have to unlock it first before you can do anything else...
I want to maintain my knox for warranty purposes.
It seems like it's safe to debloat with the ADB method and not trip knox? I want ot confirm before I do this.

Its safe because adb only disables them not deletes them.
I unlocked my bootloader just before the pie update s. I noticed my bank NFC pay stopped working around this time. At this time I don't really need the bootloader unlocked. Is there any harm relocking my bootloader? or possible bricking? If I leave it unlocked how can I hide my unlocked bootloader by rooting ?

This is pretty bad if your bank app thinks that phone is 'rooted' just because BL was unlocked.
If you didn't do anything else (Recovery, eRecovery, Ramdisk, Kernel are still stock), you can relock BL, no harm, it will just Factory reset once again (prepare back-ups)
AFAIK, installing Magisk does not hide from apps that BL was unlocked

Thank you for your response. All are still stock. I just unlocked it a while ago to remove emergency broadcast but did it through ADB instead. No need at this time to be unlocked. Thanks again.
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?
