[Galaxy S6 General] Japultra:
Which law are you talking about that deals with Knox?
[Galaxy S6 General] godutch:
it's the law that deal with statutory warranty based on EU Directive 1999/44/CE, §7.1, which samsung cannot deny

[MENTION=6037486]Faspaiso[/MENTION], I hope you brought the phone back to the store you bought it from and not samsung directly
[Galaxy S6 General] Faspaiso:
I did so, they send it to their workshop (or what you call it in english) and they sent it to Samsung, which confirmed the root and now back to me.
[Galaxy S6 General] godutch:
you should bring it back and get it repaired and also demand back the money they charged you for inspection but maybe speak with a consumer organization in your country first. Sometimes it can also help to use twitter and facebook to get your right.
[Galaxy S6 General] Faspaiso:
Yeah, will try. Can call consumer organization after 9 tomorrow morning, so will try that and see what they tell me.

But thanks for your time and sources. Well probably help me out a lot.
[Galaxy S6 General] spelaben:
Please keep us updated, interesting topic!
[Galaxy S6 General] godutch:
btw it's not samsung that denies you warranty, it's the shop you bought your phone from, they are responsible for the warranty
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Yeah, but Number1Service is those who repair it. They denied and sent it to Samsung, which sent back the knox 1 picture. The shop just do what the technicians tell them.
[Galaxy S6 General] godutch:
no, ultimately it is up to the shop, you have no contract with samsung but with your retailer, your statutory warranty is with the shop, samsung gives you extra voluntary warranty, this they can deny but your statutory warranty can't be denied
[Galaxy S6 General] :
I see. So where I bought it (Bilka) should either give me a new or pay for it to get it repaired, right? Well as said, calling them tomorrow and then we will see what happens.

:good::fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S6 General] tann3rdk:
As stated above. You shouldn't be dealing with anyone else than the company that sold you the phone - not the repairshop or Samsung.

So, contact the phonecompany/phoneshop and tell them that it's clearly faulty hardware and that our consumer rights state that you should be covered regardless of Knox being tripped. If it's a major telephone carrier they should be familiar with the consumer rights.

If they still won't accept, you contact "Forbrugerstyrelsen" (http://www.forbrug.dk/Forbrugerhotlinen). They will help you formulate a formal claim to your consumer rights.

If that doesn't work, you will have to make a consumer rights complain at "Forbrugerklagenævnet" (http://www.forbrug.dk/Klagemuligheder/Forbrugerklagenaevnet/Klag-til-Forbrugerklagenaevnet). It will cost a fee, but otherwise they will contact the company that sold you the phone and from there it might take some months before it's all finished. Regardless, it's pretty clear cut case for you.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
I bought it from Bilka. So I should just send an Email to Bilka stating my rights? All Bilka told me, was the the repairshop (technicans) denied it, cause knox was tripped and it was sent back.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S6 General] tann3rdk:
Yes, email them or call them. Tell them that you will be contacting "Forbrugerklagenævnet" next. It helps sometimes. Otherwise, call "Forbrugerklagenævnet" and start a complaint. It's pretty easy and they will help you a lot with the consumer laws and so on.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Thank you too. :)

I just contacted Bilka and wait with contacting Forbrug.dk before they answer. No need to make something big if they agree with the repair.

I quoted every law I could find on the subject and even the chat with Forbrug.dk. So we will see what happens.

Can't give more thanks out today. Will remember to do it tomorrow. ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] Brava27:
I have had two different rooted samsung phones here in Canada fixed without problem with root and knox tripped.
[Galaxy S6 General] altimax98:
You sent the phone in running custom software? That's the indication I get from this thread, in that case of course they would void the warranty
[Galaxy S6 General] theronlas:
Depends where you are, here (AUS) that only voids the statutory warranty if it was the cause of the failure. So you would not be covered if you broke the software (though that should be a very easy fix for samsung) but if the hardware fails then they still need to repair/replace.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
I'm a dumb**** on phones. My phone was only rooted with CF-autoroot. I then clicked the unroot in SuperSU and did a factory reset.

Should I have flashed stock firmware instead?

Thanks in advance, even tho my question might be dumb (at least to those who know this).
[Galaxy S6 General] Japultra:
I think what you did was enough. Flashing the stock firmware would still have shown that Knox was tripped.
[Galaxy S6 General] godutch:
I think Chainfire uses a modified insecure kernel, so your best bet is to flash a stock firmware first BUT still they can't deny you warranty (they might however charge something for returning to stock, not to sure about that)
[Galaxy S6 General] :
I told him, that I could go back to stock, but he said that was not possible without changing the circuit board.

Well, might try go back to stock and then send it in again. Now I just stay in their system as voided warranty tho.
[Galaxy S6 General] vordhosbnbg:
The burden of proof that the software modification is the cause of the defect lies on the seller, not you. At least during the first 6 months. You should contact the appropriate Consumer Rights organization in Denmark as proposed by [MENTION=2736396]tann3rdk[/MENTION].

Please keep us updated on your situation.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
I will. Will see what Bilka (where I bought the phone) answer. They will latest at friday.

Consumer rights, told me tho, that if they start something, I cannot use the phone before the case is over, which could be a year to a year and a half, cause it should to a technician and not sure it's worth it with a new Samsung GS6 cause of some dots on the camera. Would only do it if the camera was unusable. The only thing that annoys me is that I found other people having the same problem without rooting...

Try to see if you guys got it. Take a picture in low light and see if there are pink dots.
[Galaxy S6 General] bloodrain954:
Those 'red' dots are noise.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Those?

It's likely a hardware issue, right?
[Galaxy S6 General] godutch:
to me it looks like a hardware defect but to be sure you need to take multiple pictures;

i think the best thing to do it get your phone repaired, pay the bill and take Bilka to a small claims court if they don't refund
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Well, I'm not a heavy camera user. It's in all low-light pictures. So I will do it the other way around. Only get it repaired if I win the case, else I might just ignore it and wait with rooting until I have tested my device for flaws.

It's over 1/3 of what the phone costed, to get it repaired for that. I don't want to pay that.
[Galaxy S6 General] _Johnito_:
This is plain BS and they basically play it this way thinking most people will let go. This is YOUR phone and you may use it the way you like and benefit from the warranty that comes with it as long as

YOU DIDN'T CAUSED

the malfunction by improper use. I think what you plan to do is the smartest move here, but you should

definitely

claim this money even if you're in for the long run. I work myself for the french national customer service of a big company (every mobile/internet provider has one), and let me tell you how things are done here with this precise issue.

Samsung would NEVER allow themselves to deny warranty to a french citizen in such a case. We have a national law in our "code de la consommation" that forbids manufactuers to deny warranty before 6 months for

any

software alteration. This law originally passed in 2012 to prevent apple from denying warranty to jailbroken phones (jailbreak is 100% legal in france and that pisses them off), but applies to all manufacturers.

- To deny warranty before 6 months, the manufacturer has to PROVE to an independent expert the alteration did caused the defect (€€€)

- If the manufacturer cannot (or doesnt want to) prove it but doesnt want to repair the product for free either, it has to provide a brand new unit.

- After 15 WORKED days with your phone in its hands, the

manufacturer

(not the reseller) has to pay a 6% daily penalty fee (from the purchase price, within 600% max penalty).

This law is now pretty basic knowledge and used by french citizens and consumer associations every day and i don't understand why EU doesn't make this thing the common rule since it is basically common sense. Warranties are not optional and exist to prevent masquerades like this. BTW phones cost the same here that in every EU state, but i guess some dudes had to fight big time for it.
[Galaxy S6 General] godutch:
large companies tend to love laws like these because it can drive of smaller competitors, they'll probably try to get under the law to if they can, they can afford it. Warranty should be something between the buyer and seller, not the state but since the state forced its way in and we as consumers have to endure many negative effects (we have to pay a lot more for devices compared to other countries) from that when we are in our right you have to make use of it.

ANd because France is only a small part of Europe french retailers are probably willing to take a little less profit by accepting higher prices from manufacturers because else consumers will just buy from shops outside France but if laws like these were in place everywhere we would surely pay a lot more for our devices....
[Galaxy S6 General] _Johnito_:
Maybe a half truth there ? I can actually think of no mobile phone manufacturer small enough to be "really" bothered by respecting warranty scrupulously. They already have a circuit in place, they just need to adapt it. But while not a big fan of European standardization myself, i agree that would be better for everyone if consumer guarantees were the same for every buyer around.

i guess, when compared to asian or even US market. But i think currencies conversion, transport, and local taxes are to blame for EU global prices. To compare what is comparable, most mobile phones are actually (very) slightly cheaper in france than in germany or UK for example when there is no standard euro price. And not all states in europe have the same market size ... France is the second market for mobile phones and have some specifities that make its market interresting for manufacturers. I can give details if needed.

This last bit is

at least

questionable. The price tag for a premium phone today is not set by what it costs, but by what target is ready to spend for it.
[Galaxy S6 General] phil.W:
the low light camera issue is well documented on the front facing camera with samsung s6. My gf has it and had to send hers in to get repaired, and it is only in low light conditions. And the phone is not rooted.

try looking it up before making a guesstimate that turns out to be very wrong and misinforming people.

Hey guys. I really need some help now, becoming more and more desperate! :(

So the thing is, everything was working fine. Then I made mistake, flashed wrong ROM, softbricked the phone, returned to stock, still wrong KDZ (but phone booted), and then based on my IMEI and location finaly got the right KDZ (V30a-AME-XX). Everything works! Except, for some weird reason, the phone won't connect to LTE. That's the only thing - no LTE (It was working fine before)

Does anybody know what should I try to flash to get it working? I would check several variants if I just knew what to look for.

Thanks in advance

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snazol:
Hello guys,

some days ago my phone was permantly booting up in the recovery mode nothing else was possible. As I was on road and couldn't access internet anywhere I just tried to do some wipes, which then made my phone not show anything. I guess the reason that it didn't boot up anymore was that the battery was fully drained. When I was finally back home I was able to charge my phone but then the following happend:

I can start my OPO, see the android logo and then it turns black, but it fully boots up. I mean I can even click the touchscreen and hear some touch reactions/sounds. Also I'm able to turn up/down the volume and hear my phone. Furthermore I'm also able to do the "V-gesture" to turn on the flashlight. When I boot up into fastboot mode I also see the message "fastboot mode" + the little cyanogen face.

All in all everything seems to work, aside that I dont see anything else than dark after the logo.

I tried flashing new roms, stock reset, like seriously anything, but I can't get my phone to work probably again.

Does that mean that my phone got some hardware problems, maybe the touchscreen?

Help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

btw: English isn't my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.
