I did awhile ago when i discovered it was creating a log file on my SD of everything my phone was doing network wise (even wifi). I don't think tmo needs to keep track of my Wifi activity being my home wireless has nothing to do with their network. To me it just seemed like Tmobile spyware on my phone. :laugh:

So your warranty hasn't been voided?
I'm afraid that the app ratted you out to T-Mobile and they may have voided your warranty.
Even if you Odin back to stock and triangle away T-Mobile knows you were rooted.
I hope I am wrong.

You are overthinking it.
If you contested that they'd have to prove the phone was rooted and that their app wasn't just going haywire adn reporting the wrong data. And you'd have the physical phone which showed a reset flash counter and official recovery so you'd have a much stronger argument than they do.
Also, since you are rooted you can do various things to prevent apps like this from telling T Mobile anything. First you can block their permissions and second you can us a firewall app to prevent it from having access to the Wifi or Mobile data. Of course it would be able to give your minutes or data usage or anything like that. But it wont' be able to tell T Mobile anything about yoru phone either.

Well only if you catch it in time and see what this app update will do. Otherwise blocking permissions might not appear to be necessary until too late.
You make a good argument however saying that their app can be malfunctioning.

Hi all,
I have not been able to get an update since I bought my S3. I keep getting that error: Communication failed. Server is currently unavailable..blah blah..see screenie.
I have seen people post that they got a replacement phone because of this, one person said ATT gave them new sim card and that fixed it. My question is, I am rooted. Should I unroot before visiting ATT? If so how exactly do I do that. How will they know I am rooted? Superuser icon they will see...but is there anything else?
Thanks
It's best to unroot. They will log that data on your phone. I hope your phone didn't trigger the triangle counter.

I've gotten the same error from AT&T since Ive had the first Samsung Galaxy more than 2 years back. Now I have an HTC One, moved to this from and iPhone 5, and wanted to check for an update, surprise surprise, server unavaiable. With the Samsung I remember I had to go to Samsung site, don't remember the exact site, but that is what I had to do to get the Froyo update. Yea, that long ago. Still the same.
I need to take my phone up there because the phone is having problems with the battery and I've done everything I can. I have insurance on the phone and also have Android JB 4.1.2 and I'm rooted. Is there anyway to hide it or should I even care?

I wouldn't know what happens if you're going through T-Mobile but I assume you'll be fine if you're polite and explain you don't know what's going on, insist you've been with T-Mobile because of their excellent support if they make a big deal about it. Asurion the insurance company working with T-Mobile will take it anyways because they just fix it and that's it and resell it. And because you pay a monthly bill they're making money off of you regardless and you still have to pay a deductible.
But you SHOULD really return to stock.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4
If they see that the phone is rooted, they'll just simply do nothing for you. That's why people say "your warranty is now void".
Do what is mentioned above or take your chances and hope the T-Mobile rep that is assisting you doesn't check to see if the phone is rooted or check the flash counter.

What's the problem with the battery?
I like the features I get with my stock build, but I'm considering a root for better control over my apps, (Greenify, permission control) so this thread seems like a relevant question.
Is Triangle Away and unrooting all it takes to make it appear that I haven't done anything?
The warranty issue is the only thing stopping me, it's saved me a bunch in the past...

I rooted my phone once, but I will never do it again after what happened. Last year I rooted my GS3 and about a week later, my local T-Mobile store called my phone unexpectedly. The guy on the other end told me I was due for a price drop, but I would have to come into the T-Mobile store to sign the paperwork before it would take effect. 2 days later I stopped in to get the discount on my monthly payment. The T-Mobile employee said he would have to look at my phone just to verify that it was the correct serial number. He went into the back room and said he would be back in a few minutes. 10 minutes later, a police officer walks in the store and asks my name. I'm totally freaked out wondering what the deal is. He asks me to turn around a puts hand cuffs on me. The officer told me I was under arrested and being charged with "rooting a mobile device". I was booked and released, but I would watch what you do to your phone. Good luck.

Rooting a device isn't illegal. They can kiss my ring. Think about it, if it was illegal why are root apps allowed on Google Play? And also, why is XDA not been shut down?
Methinks something else happened there. Maybe you voided their warranty and tried getting a discount which may be against the rules. Or something. But I know for a fact this is legal. Unlocking is a different story however.
So my advice, root on my brothers it's the only damn freedom we have left here in America.

If I get the UVUAMDL file that you flash with Odin from the computer and take the root off, will they accept the phone or can they still see I voided it somehow? I pay 10 bucks a month for tmobiles premium handset insurance plan... I cracked the glass so I'm assuming I'll have to file a claim....
Another question, do they send you the new device first? Or do you gotta pay the waiting game with them?

That won't reset the flash counter, but it will unroot it.
But if it's with T-Mobile, I don't think it will matter.
And they usually send out the phone first.

Yeah T Mobile sends the new phoen first. Then you have like 7 days to return your old phone or they charge you $600 for it. But they'll send you a return case and everything with prepaid shipping. Just slip the old phone in there and put it in a UPS box. They are really easy to work with on stuff like this.
I have no idea if you really need to reset teh flash counter or not, but it's insanely easy to do it so you may as well. Do a search for Triangle Away by Chainfire. You just get back to complete stock rom and recovery through Odin, root using CH auto root, install Triangle Away and run it, and it will reset the flash counter. Then uninstall the Tiranlge Away app and go to the Superuser settings and click "complete unroot" (Or something like that, I forget what the term for it is, but it's obvious)
You will now have a phone with stock rom, stock recovery, no Superuser APK, and a flash counter that says 0.
I just did it last week. Took me all of 10 minutes to do the whole thing.

Flash the UVUAMDL stock file.
Use CF Auto root by Chainfire to root phone.
Use Triangle Away to reset flash counter (TA need root hence step above)
Open SuperSU app and choose "Full unroot". It will remove SU binary and SuperSU app.

Don't forget to uninstall the Triangle Away app too! (It's kind of a giveaway that you messed with it. hahah!)
It installs as a user app though, so a factory reset after this would wipe the app out anyway.

Why does everyone get warranty and insurance confused? When you file and insurance claim it does NOT matter if it's rooted, if you bricked it, or dropped it in water. You're paying the $175 deductible sobit doesn't matter. If it was a warranty exchange THEN you would have to return to stock since they only charged you $5 for an exchange.

Do they check it for what? They won't just show up to your house to inspect it. But if you send it back with a warrent yclaim they could potentially deny it based on Knox. That hasn't been happening much so far, but they technically could.
Please use the search feature to find how to root. The information is readily accessible.

Probably not.
The S4 you trade in will get factory refurbished anyway and (theoretically) have firmware completely reflashed, which will wipe KNOX out, letting them resell that phone as a refurb. (No, you can't do that by reflashing firmware. But Samsung can.)
So T Mobile is unlikely to care. And the guy working the T Mobile store is unlikely to even know to check about KNOX.

thats strange i updated mine and its not asking for root permission
I've never had an issue with tmobile carrying about a phone being rooted I've traded in rooted phones and gone through insurance to replace rooted phones. I doubt they care. Store manager by me is running a custom rom on his own phone
Use Xposed RootCloak and it will hide root from T-Mobile App. When I hit diagnose it says my phone is not rooted. That is if you guys care to use the app, of course.
If you're rooted, why not just remove the app completely? Freezing it is fine too, but if you know it's 100% safe to remove...
Also, this "technology" is and has already been in use... It's called Carrier IQ or Caller IQ. Typically, this is only used to report you if you are searching for bad things on the interwebz... IE, how to make a bomb, kiddy porn, etc.
Additionally, you are protected under the "Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act", and cannot be denied a warranty claim, regardless of Root, within reason of course... Please see this post for reference and further info:
