Root galaxy S9 question

Hi, can anyone tell me this, if root my device my Knox is tripped, later if i install a original rom can i have access again to security folder and Samsung pay etc.. again? or i dont have access anymore with original rom whith knox tripped.
Can anyone help me plz

Once you trip knox you're screwed with those apps.

IIRC now don't quote me on this, but Magisk from what I know allows the user to hide the fact that their device is rooted so that apps like GooglePay still work without detecting that the device has been modified. Not sure if it's the same with Samsung exclusive apps but I wouldn't risk it. If you use those features regularly I don't recommend it. But perhaps someone else might know more about this.

Unfortunately you can't do anything. Samsung devices come with a built in security feature called the Knox warranty bit. It's a one-time programmable Efuse that is able to detect if a custom operating system has ever been installed. High Security applications such as Samsung Health, Samsung Pay, Samsung Pass and Secure Folder are permanently disabled. In select locations the Warranty bit is also used to deny warranty service. The best course of action would be to contact the seller and request a replacement device with the warranty bit in tact. Or refund
Edit: Netflix just isn't supported from the play store on the Tab S4 for some reason. It has nothing to do with root access.

As someone who is trying to install netflix, I'm constantly met with "not compatible."
Is there a way to actually use it again?

You could try installing the APK from here.

No Guarantees it will work.

Samsing pass temporarily unavailable after flash, knox not tripped

Like the title says. I flashed upgraded firmware to get att calling abilities and since doing so I cant use samsung pass. I can use Samsung pay just fine and when I check warranty void on download screen it says 0x0. Anybody have any idea of what's going on or how to fix?

Are you logged in Samsung account? Or maybe uninstall updates for it, as it is a system app you need to show in apps settings, and let download again.

Knoxreset.com legit ?

Hi,
after a long time using iPhone i switched to Android (Note 10+ Exy.
I considered to root it but dont want to loose all Samsung Apps etc. I found a Website called knoxreset.com which tells you that it can put the knox back to 0x0 and "restore" all Samsung Apps.
I tried to find some reviews about this Website but found nothing. I know that Knox now a days has something to do with the Hardware and as im a newbie, i wanted to ask you guys if this is legit or a scam ?
They sell it rn for 45 Dollars.
Thanks for any help!

I would go with a scam... Tripping knox literally blows an efuse. Once it blown that's it... It is blown for good on that motherboard.
The site is misleading in what it does. The app involves rooting (or uses existing root on) the phone, installs (possibly uses if exists) a custom recovery and merely makes the trip counter looks like it wasn't tripped (it does not actually change the knox trip counter). It's a purely superficial mask and nothing more.. also if I recall correctly this is something you can do yourself.
Also the site says it doesn't effect knox, so any apps which depend on knox itself won't work.

It's easy to fake reset Knox if you are rooted which is exactly what they are doing. It will fool some apps that won't work if knox has been tripped but it won't fool Samsung and as soon as you flash back stock then it will show Knox tripped. If you want root but won't to fake knox then there are guides out there

So it is possible to root, fake knox and use for example Samsung Pass or other apps that doesnt work with a tripped knox ? Thank you for your answer!
EDIT: I cant find any updated tutorial how to fake it properly, do you have any link for me ?

No, banking apps, samsung pay, and other apps will not work, only some apps can be fooled by hiding root, just consider this before rooting, as for tripping knox, there are some cosmetic implementations that make knox look 0x0, but just for show, this can not in anyway be reversed, apps specifically looking for the e-fuse status, will never be fooled

The ONLY sure fire way known to reset KNOX is Motherboard replacement...
This will be expensive and will also change your IMEI and Serial number...

yeah it definitely looks like a scam website @scottusa2008 is definitely on the mark. once that efuse is blown, its blown.

Okay guys thank you very much for the help, ill do some more research and will probably go with the Dr. Ketan Rom
I'll close this Thread now

Ex developer of KNOX Reset (Disabler) application
Hi,
The application listed at KNOXReset.com cannot indeed reset the actual KNOX counter. It is also mentioned on the store page before purchasing the application now.
It has been designed to spoof the string in Odin mode and display 0x0(0) regardless of actual value. It works only on certain devices.
Also, it now includes modified S applications which work even on rooted devices.

lolol... all it does is set a property to appear as not tripped.. smh.. ppl do anything for a quick buck these days

(Question) rooting and back to stock

Hi guys
It’s been awhile since I had a Samsung phone
Anyhow I remember that if you are rooting your phone I will not be able to go back to stock and keep receiving updates regularly and also the user will not be able to use any Samsung service since there is some security on the device board
I wonder if it’s still the situation in galaxy s21 series
thanks

Yes OTA updates will be disabled for the rooted device. But you can easily install them if you so wish without loosing root by temporarily removing root without rebooting the device. Follow this guide for full process.
As for the services, I didn't hear about a service that's disabled by rooting. But if it happens you can easily replace said services by downloading alternatives or using specific modules in magisk manager.

Thank you
I’m asking because if I will ever want to sell the device it will be impossible

Not at all.
You can just do this:
Unroot.
Remove Samsung and google account.
Flash stock ROM [Optional, unless you flashed a custom ROM]
Lock the bootloader.
And that's it you can sell it as just lightly used.

I think you wouldn't be able to use Secure Folder after root.

Knox is disabled after rooting, similarly anything knox dependant will be disabled as well. I thought he meant some other services like samsung health or other bloatware.
