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

Rooting s4mini

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?
roooting will void ur warranty.
But on some samsung phones (galaxy y) warranty can get back by (unroot) flashing stock rom and kernel by odin.
In case of s4 mini, i think it difficult to get back warranty because of knox counter
I also s4 mini (i9192) user and want to root it.
But because of warranty issue m scaring as i brought it last week.
If someone have solution to restore warranty status of GT-i9192 plz tell me
many many thanx in advanc
1. You have to use saferoot method if you want OTA updates
2. No, data will remain intact
3. Yes if you flash a custom recovery. Use the saferoot method if you do not need custom recovery.
4. It refers to any of your SD cards (internal or external). As long as the recovery can access it.
there is always a solution
yeah as the guys up here said you can use safe root. but just if you want a to get updates.. but if you want to keep warraty im looking for a way to backup the stock rom to recover if i have to take it to the warranty1:good::fingers-crossed:

[Q] How easy for noob root? Pro 8.4

Galaxy Pro 8.4 NE3 BTU firmware
Total noob when it comes to rooting, so maybe someone can take the time to explain what it's all about to me? What benefits are there over the stock installation that you get? Do you need root access if you just surf the net, use Facebook , play games and email? Are there significant advantages in having a rooted device for the average user? ROM's? Is it easy to do? How do you recover things if it all goes wrong or you change your mind?
I think the last point worries me the most ... I'd :crying: if I bricked my tab!

I rooted SM-T320 using towelroot which is an apk file that is downloaded to your tablet/phone and run from the device ( www.towelroot.com ). No need to connect to you PC. Lots of info on this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157 . There is a lot of information and you should read it all. It took me less than 5 mins. to root my tab 8.4. A couple of small hiccups. SuperSu hung trying to disable Knox, but a reboot and running SuperSu, Knox was disabled with no problem. The other issue occurred with the reboot to disable Knox. There was no connection to the Play Store.For some reason the date had changed to an earlier date and time. When I reset the date and time I was able to access the play store again. The best news was that it appears that Knox was not tripped. My reason for rooting was to be able to fully access my external sd card and also be able to remove some of the Samsung Apps that I will never use and is taking valuable storage space as well as hogging memory. According to everything that I read in the above thread the chances of bricking your device is almost 0%. If you change your ming after you root you can use SuperSu to get back to a fully Un-rooted state.

[Q] GT-N5100 Italian 3g - to root or not to root

Hello fellow androidians
I am here because I desperately need to play Baldurs Gate on my Note 8 but Kies won't update my device - as far as I can understand, the Italian model is not exactly looked after and it's still running 4.1.2. So I won't be able to move stuff to the sd card for a while.
I have a few questions regarding this issue:
Can I safely root it?
And if I root it I can still use the base android or am I to flash a custom rom?
I would like to keep S Note which I use a lot, so any suggestion here is highly appreciated.
Will rooting mean loosing all the stuff I have in my galleries or will it be possible to root without a backup?
After years of Android use I collected a lot of memorabilia, which position and time of download is very precious to me. Call me ocd and you won't be wrong.
In case I will go for the root, will the tips provided here work on my model baseband version N5100XXBMC8?
I would be much happier if I had the possibility of updating to kit kat straight away, but this seems unlikely
How silly of me thinking Italian carriers would update my little treasure!
Normally you will not loose any data when you root your device. Base will not change. No need to flash a Custom Rom. So root your origunal 4.1.2 and finished.

[Q] Encryption after un-rooting... possible?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 LTE (T805), running the stock Lollipop 5.0.2 (XA1BOJ1) and rooted with CF-Auto-Root.
Now I know that after rooting encryption is more or less not possible, what I am not sure about is if it is possible to encrypt the device (both the internal and external storage) after reflashing the stock ROM (whether Lollipop or Marshmallow, in case there are differences) and not rooting the device (and keeping it not rooted).
Anyone knows for sure..?
TIA
P.S. In case it's possible, is un-rooting sufficient or do I have to flash the stock ROM..? (I am asking because of I don't have to reflash I would keep at least some of the changes that I did to the OS while rooted, like for example the edits in some config files which grant me full acess to the SD, to mute the camera sound and so on)
