Hello everyone, I bought a note II lte, I would like to know if making the root of the device, you lose the warranty?
it can be restore?
If I've got root permission i can't receive more official updates (ota)?
there is a chance to brick device performing root?
(there is a way to just root without recovery or anything? without change nothing on the phone but just root permission?)
I read Exynos abuse, those who have had esprienza could let me know if it is safe?
I'm paying dearly and in installments, so I want to risk as little as possible
Thanks in advice

it can be restore? Yes it can be restored
If I've got root permission i can't receive more official updates (ota)? You will not receive any Official Ota if your device is modified
there is a chance to brick device performing root? Very less chances if you know how to play with your device
(there is a way to just root without recovery or anything? without change nothing on the phone but just root permission?) Yes you can root your device on Stock Recovery which gives you only full permissions.
I read Exynos abuse, those who have had esprienza could let me know if it is safe?Sorry no knowledge on this
I'm paying dearly and in installments, so I want to risk as little as possible Tip read the entire thread carefully clear all your doubts before proceeding

Hey everybody,
I have a rooted N7100 on stock 4.3. I used triangle away and the normal counters are back to factory default. However the knox warranty void flag has been triggered.
Three questions:
- I'd like to receive OTA updates. But it looks like the knox flag is getting checked since I get "Your software has been mofified.." while checking for updates. Is there any way at all to remove the knox flag on a rooted note 2 with stock 4.3?
- If the question to above is a no, would flashing stock rom/bootloader all the way again patch the knox flag?
- If I'd like to flash my phone with the latest stock rom, I'm assuming the device gets wiped? Is there anything that'd let me backup my settings/files/apps/texts and have it restored once I flash the new rom? (I'm not sure if Titanium is the right software for this).
PS: My wararntly is long gone, but I'd like to have OTAs without having the phone wiped (like how I used to) OR manually flash the new stock ROMs without losing data. Any ideas?
Please help me out.
Thanks!
I have an issue with a modified status with a stock ROM, my device keep to say modified without root, I find out that the status revert back to normal without the SD Card.
It is to annoying to triangle away, disable root, remove sd card and update with ota. Now I download the update on Sammobile and I update with Mobile Odin.

Why bother at all, when your phone is no more warranty, 0 or 1 does not make a difference when u send in for repair, Samsung will still charge you for the service repair job.
Haha you're right, today I have a dual boot with 2 custom ROM. **** da police.
But I gave one OTA solution for the OP.
First of all, my phone is not rooted. I downloaded the Samsung official 4.3 Unbranded ROM for my country from HERE but I have no idea how to manually flash it without tripping KNOX and voiding my warranty.
Does anyone know how I can safely flash it?
I think that tecnically you can't... You probably have to install one of the ROMs in the development section that don't have Knox... You have some options... But that would imply rooting, changing recovery, etc etc... The thing is when you install the ROM you don't "trip" Knox... You only do that if you try to root it, change recovery etc. So if you're NOT planing to root or use custom roms, AT LEAST until you're warranty expires, you can install the software even via Kies Air and don't lose you're warranty... ow! By the way I can't confirm you if you're source is good... The "official source" for "official firmware" is http_etc_samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N7105T (can´t post links... just substitute "http_etc_" for the "htp://www"), at least for your model that I assume that is GT-N7105T and not GT-N7105 or GT-N7100... But even with that you need aditional software (on the PC: Odin, or, on the phone itself: Mobile Odin Pro, which requires root) Once again I can be mistaken...
Hello Developers.
I'm new to root's world and i have some questions:
1. If I root my GT-I9195 (s4 mini lte) and samsung release a new firmware, can i upload it?
2. Rooting my device, the data (apps, contacts, sms and settings) will be reset?
3. When I root my device i will lose the warranty?
4. In this post for "SDCard" it means internal or external memory?

1- If you stay stock firmware and dont flash any other roms you COULD but it isnt a wise choice as you would lose root and possibly any chance of ever getting root again. Every update I have ever seen is always leaked and hacked before the official release date so there is no need to ever use the original update feature. plus who wants to be stuck on android 4.3?
2- when going through the root process definitely back up everything.
3- i am not an expert on this part because I dont care about the warranty but as far as ive read your warranty will be tripped by knox.
4- you should use external sd card for anykind of flashing as internal memory gets wiped
Hi guys,
I am new to the xda forums and I have been researching about rooting my note 10.1 2014 p600 (WIFI). I have three questions about rooting my device.
1. How would I update my tab with root? I heard you can't get OTA updates.
2. What is the best and safest way to root?
3. How do I get TWRP and is it good?
I haven't installed knox on it yet and I am a beginner to linux and have done research so I know what root is.

Ok, First, for the p600 if you root, you will trip Knox which will void your warranty and there is no way around this and this is the only way to root your model (p600), If you don't care about warranty then continue...
1) Download this file https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11938873/CF-Auto-Root-lt03wifi-lt03wifixx-smp600.zip then unzip, you will see this file CF-Auto-Root-lt03wifi-lt03wifixx-smp600.tar.md5.
2) Turn Off Tablet, Hold Volume Down + Power. Follow the instructions on the screen to get to download mode (Odin mode).
Rooting Instructions
1.Flash the CF-Auto-Root-lt03wifi-lt03wifixx-smp600.tar.md5 file with Odin v3.09 (put in AP slot, don't change any other settings, click start)
2.Let it do its trick! boot up then go to play store download and install supersu in order to update supersu to the latest binary.
3. Boot back into Odin mode and flash TWRP version 2.6.3.3 found here https://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/lt03wifiue/
That's all!

Knox is just a shortcut to the install link, Does this mean it's not installed or is the shortcut just extras (I don't know how to post screenshots).

I don't understand what you are saying???
When I said tripped Knox void warranty is that your device detected that you installed unauthorized software which tripped the knox counter. You can see this by boot into download mode (Odin mode) and you should see a line like this:
Warranty bit: 1 (factory is 0x0)
I hope that what you're asking!

Yup.
ok, now i'm getting confused.
my p600 is still on 4.3 jellybean. but from what i read, as long as did not update to kitkat firmware, i can still unroot and reverse the warranty bit bcoz they don't have knox yet. but it'll be too late if i updated to kikat right? btw, i used cf-auto-root.
just weeks ago i rooted my p600 and flashed stock recovery, so now my p600 thinks its stock official firmware, even say so in about device.
i haven't tried unrooting it yet to confirm that i can get warrenty back by flashing back whole stock firmware bcoz i don't want to redo all settings again. but thats the impression i'm geting.
anyhow if i can't really reverse that warranty thing i don't really care anyways. i warranty my stuff better than they do it, and since i think i can still get updates, it bothers me even less if its unreversible. but in the case if i'm right, and i can reverse that warranty bit. maybe one day i'd like to update to kitkat. then what? i'll have to have knox in my system and i can't reverse warranty counter anymore?
is there a way i can update to a custom kikat firmware (one day) and not have knox so i'll still be able to get warranty back?
i kind of realized the dilemma i have here since if i own the device for more than a yr, my warranty wouldn't matter anymore. am i just thinking too much and worrying myself?

Yes you're confused!!. Knox has nothing to do with warranty bit, once this tripped, you can't undo doesn't matter you on 4.3 or 4.4.
I'm a little confused on a few other issues. I have read over 40 pages on another thread here about rooting etc and I couldn't find the answer to a few questions. I've just successfully rooted using the most recent instructions (P600 - CF Auto root) but in earlier instructions (about a year ago) you had to also install the stock recovery file using Odin. Is that a necessary step? Is it needed for OTA updates? Since I've read that OTA updates will unroot and possibly prevent you from rooting at all, is it best to just forget about OTAs and flash up to date files from this site? Is it also prudent to turn off auto updating in the settings.
If I'm not installing custom roms and backed up using Titanium Pro do I really need to install TWRP? Any other benefits other than nandroid? Thanks

Once you rooted you can't use OTA update any more. So the easiest going forward is to flash TWRP and use it to flash pre-rooted rom from this site.
Thanks buhohitr
I guess I'm installing TWRP tonight. There are many versions up to 2.8 I think. Which one do you recommend for P600? I've tried searching for "installing TWRP" but there were no obvious hits like there were for rooting. Which is the key thread?
To my first question, I'm assuming that the later root methods automatically installs or leaves the stock recovery as earlier methods needed to load it. Am I right?

OK found the thread and I just read the last 55 pages (that took a while) and boy is it scary. So many problems. Touch not accurate, inverted screens, certain versions failing eg 2.7, can't access external SD card, continual looping, booting into the old recovery , OTG cables not working, time zones can't be set properly, some say turn off autoboot in odin and some say don't change default settings etc etc. the list goes on and on. I likened it to a bushfire or tornado. Some houses still stand and some don't and you want to know the silly thing here, I am an experienced computer teacher with a degree in computer science and I've upgraded firmware on over a hundred devices over the years and yet all this rooting and recovery stuff is another world. The rooting process, admittedly, was a piece of cake and the instructions for flashing TWRP seems easy too but after that there seems to be so many problems. So hit and miss.
All i want to do is load TWRP on a P600. I will only load custom ROMs when a new firmware version comes out. Can someone alleviate my fears who has successfully loaded TWRP recently on a P600 using ODIN without massive tweaking to get it going. What version TWRP did you use and did you turn off autoboot or not?
PS Have I posted this in the correct section?
Took the plunge and loaded the latest TWRP 2.8.1 and it worked perfectly except I could only back to the main SD storage and not my extSD. I ended up, as a work around, moving the backup files to the extSD drive and PC.
I think I was worried unnecessarily.
