[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Samsung S lover:
Thanks for your welcoming, I have my phone through a carrier. If I succeed and root and then decide to unroot can I still lose that warranty even though I want be going to Samsung to fix it ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Samsung S lover:
I have my phone through a carrier and it's on upgrade and protect which is whenever a new one comes out I get to replace it with the existing credit.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Samsung S lover:
Thank you for your long answe as it had so many new information to me🙏🏼.

I don't usually use any of these apps because I replace most of them with Google pay and anthid fitness apps, while on the other hand for apps services like find my mobile and secure folder.. there are many alternatives .

I'll wait to see what the S22 Ultra will bring to see if I should root my phone.

Thank again, really appreciate your answer😊
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Misterxtc:
You're out of luck then because you can't revert knox. I just did it through Samsung credit and they don't seem to care but the warranty is still void either way if it's rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Doesn't matter if you unroot later. Once you root and trip the Knox flag, it is irreversible. It's not a software flag, it's a hardware flag called an e-fuse. Once blown, it stays blown. Whatever you do with the phone after that to restore back to stock, it will stay voided. Knox related stuff will never work again unless you change your motherboard.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] cooperwhite:
I think it is possible
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Could you elaborate please?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Misterxtc:
All the elaboration you need has already been said. If you want more assurance that this is not possible do a search for reset knox and see for yourself. This is just one thread of many and it was started in 2013... not trying to be a jerk but this horse is dead.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I was asking the previous poster how he thinks it's possible. I already believe it's not

Edit: Misquoted
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Please share the exact procedure of resetting Knox if you know it's possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Misterxtc:
Ask whoever you want the answer is still no.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Same as burning a PROM, once programmed it's permanent.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
What's the Model Number of your device and which UI Version is it?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] cater2:
I think that the guy who wants to root has to be well informed about it , because once knox is burned , there is no turning back ....

But I rooted my phone galaxy m2 using Magisk , and my knox is not burnt as can be seen in the attachment ...

Even using Magisk , you must be careful with the procedure ...

I am currently at a decision point , if I unroot or if I continue with rooted phone . On the one hand my phone is considered cheap, but my money is short ... Unfortunately it is capitalism determining my existence :(

Rooting your Samsung phone permanently BURNS KNOX and voids warranty , paid services ...

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
Knox is meant to be the ultimate in security but rooting a phone could allow people to try and circumvent Knox security via root. That is why the e-fuse is blown, they disable Knox because it cannot deliver the security that Samsung claims if unlocked which allows rooting. That is why the warranty is tied to Knox because they have to disable it physically. And in the end, you still own the phone but you decided to take it out of warranty by modifying the device (unlocking it). I used to root my phone all the time but now I don't see any benefit in it anymore (for me!).
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] cater2:
What security does knox provide ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] inpression:
Damn, she, like, ditched you for another guy... I'm sorry, but you can't spend your life thinking these things are programmed.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
See https://www.samsungknox.com/en for detailed information. It's the security baked into the Samsung firmware to provide encryption for services and data from things like passwords to storing keys and services like Samsung Pay.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] cater2:
what protection does knox offer in my daily personal use on my galaxy m12 ?

I don't use Samsung Pay

If I understand correctly , ( english is not my native language ) , knox is aimed at corporate systems or anyone who wants to pay for their services ...

But I do not want any of that

ps: It also serves to **** up my warranty, when I use what I paid for my purposes
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
Knox is the security layer in your phone hence why things like Samsung Pay stop working as they rely on Knox to secure the data and processes. That is why the e-fuse blows, like a canary it warns and the device is no longer secure. There are many other things that stop working when you disable Knox which you can find if you search this forum. The warranty is void because unlocking allows you to modify the CPU/GPU clock speeds which can add extra wear or even damage the processors. Imagine buying a professional race car and then changing the tyres for cheap ones, when you crash you cannot go back to the race car supplier to repair the car because you decided to mod the car and drive it hard. It's the same with phones, consoles, watches, TVs, home speakers, headphones.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lyzgaard:
I have had display replaced under warranty both on a rooted Note and a Galaxy earlier. Warranty voided when Knox is tripped depends on where in the world you live I think.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] cater2:
There are a number of things in a Phone that can malfunction, not caused by routing...Volume button, USB port, screen, etc.

With this argument of yours, Samsung takes the body out of the warranty...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
The firmware controls the hardware. Samsung doesn't want someone else's engineering failures.

You knew the job was dangerous when you took it...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] cater2:
All I know is that Samsung is a multinational with enormous powers...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Yeah, but they made some bad decisions recently plus everything else that's going on.

Expect to see belt tightening.

$hit flows downgrade🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] cater2:
It seems from what I read the Chinese Xiaomi's procedure, it's the most interesting.

It does not remove the warranty when unlocking the bootloader ...

It allows unlocking the bootloader , but warns that if the defect in the phone is caused by the installed rom , in that case the warranty is void
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Philip:
Can anybody point me to where Samsung (in the UK preferably) say that rooting voids the warranty?

I've just got a Z Flip 3 and I've read the Warranty leaflet which comes with the handset. I can't see anything in there which prohibits rooting, so how am I supposed to know that it would void warranty?

Put another way, if I root the handset and later need a warranty repair, what would Samsung do if I said "well, I read the Warranty terms that you included in the box, and it didn't say anything about root voiding the warranty"?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] cater2:
What I do know is that there is a variant of your model that if rooted, it loses the camera function...

On the other hand, in the warranty paper, see if there isn't a link for you to consult...

No more consult a lawyer
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Philip:
Thanks - I believe that it's the Z

Fold

which has the problem with the camera breaking, not the Z

Flip

.

Nope, there's no link within the warranty documentation that came with my handset.

Everybody is saying that Samsung will void warranty on a rooted phone. I'm just trying to find out where they actually say that, and how am I - as an owner of a Samsung handset - meant to know about it?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] cater2:
If you don't have anything written about rooting your warranty, there's a good chance that in your country you won't lose your warranty.

In my case the paper says that I lose the warranty by installing non-genuine Samsung software
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
Audi is a multinational and if I was to remap the ECU on a new car from them it would void the warranty. I would be pushing the physical parts of the vehicle to do more than they were designed to do by "overclocking" the speed I run the vehicle at. Are you saying they should honour the warranty if I rallied the car in some races past its set out operational limits?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Valiante:
There's actually already laws on this exact subject.

The car companies argued they should be able to void your warranty because you did not change your oil at their dealership, because you didn't allow them to do all the servicing, because you used different tires, etc.

That's where the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 stemmed from.

All those previously mentioned cases are not grounds for outright warranty denial, it must be proven that those things caused the malfunction.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Philip:
Never heard of this Act. I assume it's local legislation which is only applicable in whichever jurisdiction you live in?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
Nothing to do with that. Car manufacturers will use the same engine in various variants of a car model. VW used a 2.0l diesel in the Golf for 1.8 and 2.0 versions. The ECU restricted the output and the service plans are built around the expected wear and tear of the engine based on the ECU performance. So if you remapped the ECU you add wear and tear to the engine the service plan and parts are not designed for, this reduced the lifetime of the engine and parts so the warranty is void.

Modifying the device so that the CPU is being operated outside the manufacturer's defaults adds wear and tear to the device and CPU, you affect the thermal output which may cause internal damage to the phone. So unlocking a device quite rightly voids the warranty as it can be used outside the agreed operating limits.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Valiante:
You're saying the exact same thing as I said already ... Lol. The onus is on the defendant to prove the modification caused the damage.

It has already been proven if a car's been modified to run outside of factory specs, that causes cause damage above and beyond normal wear and tear, thus voids the warranty.

Simply because a phone CAN be overclocked does not mean it has been. It also does not prove any damage has been caused by what one could POSSIBLY do.

By that same token, all warranty could be voided simply because you drink water and you COULD have spilled water on your device.

The onus is on the defendant to prove what actually caused the damage.
[Nintendo Switch Questions & Answers] MsWednesd4y:
Hi all, I'm quite new to this community, and seems I decided to ask some questions.

Can we craft a Nintendo Switch Global Ver with the parts from Tencent Nitendo Switch? For example, just replaced the hardware parts that related to region-locking with parts from Global Region parts. Because as I per read few threads from here, to flashing the ROM to global firmware on Tencent Nintendo, it will not work for some reason on Tencent Nintendo.

I'm planning to make a cheaper Switch since I saw some guy from Imgur able to crafting Switch from scratch for only $200, but now the parts as I researched are not cheap anymore.

Any suggestion is welcomed
[Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers] ronniem18:
First of all, let me say that I am not new to this flashing thing, but I am not an expert either.

My cousin's Redmi 7 has a locked bootloader. Since the phone has been acting up lately, he decided to factory reset it the normal way. However, it stuck at Redmi logo. I advised him to wait a little longer since that just could be a normal thing but it was more than a day already and still the same. He then decided to force shutdown the phone by press and hold the power button. Nothing happened.

Now the phone is with me and its been hell of a day and I can't fix it. The stock recovery is destroyed. The Bootloader is LOCKED. I just feel helpless here. I'm not sure what to do anymore and trust me, I did a lot of things already. Searched everywhere but nothing works. Again, I am not an expert nor trying to be one. I just want to help my cousin restore this thing. Please HELP. Ask whatever question you can about the device and I'll provide as long as it is available. TIA!

[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] Areeb25:
Hi. I just got a Sony Xperia xz3 (sov 39) and then i installed the uk custom rom H8416 from xperifirm to get rid of all the bloatware from the Japanese variant. But after I installed the rom, the power and volume buttons seem to be glitching at random times. The power button starts acting as the volume up button and the volume control buttons also act funky. Like when i press the volume down button once, the volume goes all the way down and the vol up button turns volume to maximum.

The issue gets fixed automatically after some time. I can't restart the phone cuz the power button doesn't work at those times. I did manage to boot the phone in safe mode during the glitch period but the issue was still there.

Idk of this is a hardware or a software issue. It seems like a bug in the uk rom to me. Oh and i deleted the .ta files when i was flashing the rom. Is it possible that this may be the cause? I heard those .ta files are useless.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] the7thson:
I just got my Sprint Diamond last night and sure enough I installed a bunch of programs and tweaks on it.

Now when the phone starts up, it just keeps vibrating like crazy and the screen and hard buttons are unresponsive for the most part. The ONLY thing that works on the screen is the Quick Menu on the top right. Tapping the screen anywhere else doesn't do anything. The ONLY hardware keys that work are the D-Pad keys, nothing else works. Also, i get an error message on startup that says "gsen cannot connect to G-Sensor".

Here's what I did before my last soft reset:

1. Installed gsen (the sensor app). I don't think this messed with anything though.

2. Changed the screen pressure value on the "Advanced Configuration Tool" program v3.2 down from the default of 42 to 34. This didn't seem to make any difference so I wanted to see how this would change the sensitivity. I set it all the way down to 2. This is what I think broke it.. I'm guessing the low value means more pressure is required to press.

I've tried a hard reset (vol-down + enter + reset with stylus) and it doesn't do anything at all.. I've tried this many times but to no avail :(

Does anyone have any ideas about what I could do?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] the7thson:
Figured it out, it was definitely the pressure sensitivity. I used CERegEditor to connect to the registry from my computer and changed the value back and restarted the phone and all was well.

Just wanted to post the solution in case this happened to someone else.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] WhiteCell:
for hard reset ( if u need it...or if u will need it)

1. Pres Vol down + d-pad (center button) + soft reset button....then release soft reset button.....and wait till couple of seconds

Can someone direct me to the specific packages I need to load? Following the guide have:

Base: EVR-LGRP2-OVS-10.0.0.196

Cust: EVR-L29-CUST 10.0.0.6 (c185)

Preload: EVR-L29-PRELOAD 10.0.0.3 (c185r2)

Do I have to upgrade to 10.1 before going to 11 or can I jump straight to it?

Thanks much,

I loaded base only "EVR-LGRP2-OVS 10.1.0.247" and updated via hisuite proxy / hisuite. Once that version installed, I was able to install all the way to 11.0.0.138 via the support app.

I'm a student and I don't earn a lot (and I save most of it) so I don't really know which plan is the best.

I heard the 6GB for 30$ plan is available for WinMo but it's slightly too expensive (because we all know it's more like 40$ once they charge you the "being a human" fee and the "just for the sake of it" fee). What data plan did you take or suggest for me?
