Hi everyone, I have a question...
If I successfully rooted an android device and then I wanted to remove that root by installing a new official ROM. Now the question is that as it's known that rooting void warranty if i returned that device to the manufacture can they know that I had installed a root?

First of all You should be cleared what rooting is!
Rooting is the process of allowing users running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as root access).
Rooting lets all user-installed applications run privileged
commands typically unavailable to the devices in the
stock configuration (stock ROMs).
So you don't need to hide it, you just need to unroot it
Now,
You don't need flash the whole stock ROM.
If you already have the app named superSU then navigate to settings and then full unroot.
If you don't , then search on play store.
There are enough apps on play store that can unroot your phone.
Doing this your mobile will be fully unrooted and the remaining warranty will be valid.

I recently rooted my phone using method 3 (root from stock recovery) from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217840
It kind of worked and i was able to run the root applications.
But then i decided to unroot and did so from superSU's unroot option.
It worked and i dont see rooted anywhere (no triangle or flash counter)
except when i try to update. It says "your device has been modified. Software upgrades are unavailable"
Now im facing battery problems with my phone and want to go for replacement since its under warrenty. So my questions is would they be able to find out i rooted it and deny me replacement ?
Rooting doesn't shows any special effects to your phone but its required for some apps. And about battery problems, try to check new battery from the market
HIT THANKS WHENEVER POSSIBLE OR IF I HELPED YOU...
Check in your device specific forum.
Chainfire's app Triangle Away could restore your system status to official (but requires root). And make sure its compatible with your device.

Sorry I replied late but yes that's the button to root. I bricked my phone accidentally and stock rom for a6000 plus is not available anywhere so after waiting for many days I flashed miui ROM today
Is this method more safe than conventional rooting of device?
Sent from my Lenovo A6000 using XDA Free mobile app
Can the root process be undone? Also has anyone got a way to backup the stock OS/ any link to the stock OS? Would be great to have.
thanks bro....it worked for me
Is there a way to replace the Kinguser app with SuperSU afterwards? I don't mind the app, but my asian language skills are rusty.

by which method did you rooted it?
via kinguser or minimal adb & fastboot?
I request anyone with Lenovo A6000 Plus to kindly upload the stock rom or a cwm backup of the system if you have. Lenovo customer care if of no use at all.

what i feel from my perspective is that some of the Su binary files are not getting removed even after full unroot.
Kinguser isnt able to perform proper unroot.
That is why the devices are getting bricked
so what is the wise suggestion to do ?
Try Kingsroot and brick the phone & install CM11 ?
or
Just get stacked with the current situation with no more updates in future?
or
Flash the complete rom which is og A6000 but not of A6000+
Please suggest.
I have already rooted my device with kingroot and have tested it. Now is there a way to install google play?
My version is 4.5.5.1.
I have seen other threads with tutorials on how to get google play but all include using a program that also roots the device. I've already rooted and since im a noob I dont know if using a rooting program again will damage my device.
Thank you
No it won't damage your device. I've rooted and unrooted my devices back and forth tons of times.
But if you do want to use the guide using other root program, it's a generally good idea to full unroot from KingRoot and uninstall it first.
My Thor device is on 4.5.5.3. My goal is to root, and I don't plan to install custom roms.
After researching the forum, here comes a few questions I have:
Kingroot should work (with retries) ?
I don't need to unlock bootloader or install twrp if I'm cautious with SuperSU grants. If I always know what I'm doing with root, risk should be minimal?
Can system update (say future 4.5.5.4) brick the device if all I did is root? Should i block the update?
Thanks in advance!

While past OTA updates have simply removed root that may not hold true with future updates. Recommend blocking.
Kingroot for me only took 2 tries ( withlastest version) , you can check the root with ES File, if you can activate root explorer, its done.
I dont think this device get more updates at this point.
I started to think about rooting my g960f, it is a week year old device and the ads in apps annoys me so much. I will be using root to disable bixby through root uninstaller, if you have any other suggestions please tell. also I will be using mother of adblock, if you have any other suggestions please tell. I still have some questions.
- Is there any way to root the phone without custom recovery?
- will I be able to install system updates if I root the phone? if not how am I supposed to install them when the device is rooted?
- will it lose any of its features? if yes, which features?
- will I be able to go full stock again and gain all the lost features back?
I wont be installing custom rom as I already liked the stock rom but it needs some modification. I am sure that most of the people has the same questions in their minds so your answers would help many.

As long as all you did was root the phone and did not change the OS to a custom one you should be able to get OTA updates. You should be able to install OTA updates normally, but you will loose the root install and have to do it again. Since OTA updates may patch any exploits a root install tool may use you might not be able to root the phone again (at least not until the root utility is updated to use a different method) after an update, so keep that in mind.

Once you root you might very well trip Knox. If Knox is tripped Samsung Pay, Secure folders is what I can find Google Searching and searching the forum here as what wouldn't work Samsung app wise. S-Health would also stop working, but I've read about potential ways to make S-health work again. I am not sure if those ways still work or not.
Other apps (financial, etc) may not work if the phone is rooted..

Sort of... Knox secure apps like S-health, Secure Folders, Samsung Pay will not work. Once you trip knox they will not work on the device ever again. This is because once knox is tripped it is tripped, it's a hardware e-fuse. You can not fix it nor reset it.
Other apps that just detected whether root is installed (or being used) should return to normal
thank you so much for the reply, lastly do you any suggestion for rooting? like the best way of doing it or use this guide and such.
Why root the device? You can use Adhell3 and block all the ads using knox itself

Personally I don't have a suggestion on a root method for your phone, but I do suggest you do some research on the subject. You can also look in the Galaxy S9 topic on XDA as that is the model you said you were using (G960F). In all honesty your gonna want to read up on what the process entails, what issues you might encounter and the risks involved... This is kind of a one way trip (metaphorically and essentially literally speaking) because if you trip knox (which you most likely will) you will void any warranty as well as permanently loose rather useful functionality on the phone (Samsung pay does come in handy IMHO). Not to mention root weakens the security of the phone and if your not careful you could (not saying you will, but could) run into a lot of problems.
Granted I am not saying you shouldn't root your phone but I am suggesting that in your case there is a more simpler method of doing what you want to do. Adhell3 was suggested and it's an app I use as well. Adhell3 will allow you to configure knox to do what you are seeking.. Knox can be configured to serve as a system wide ad blocking and it can be used as a way to disable apps on the phone (including bixby). There is more it can do, but I would suggest reading up on it (I can't give you all the answers, your gonna have to discover them also). Since your not trying to install an custom OS or changing cpu governors, cpu frequencies or anything Xposed related I would suggest looking into Adhell3 since that will do what you want without messing with Knox (or any potential issues with your phone from rooting). Also Adhell3 is not a permanent change to the phone, it can be fully removed, it doesn't weaken the security of the phone by allowing root access to the Android OS and file system on the phone and it will survive OTA updates.
Also if your looking to cut down on advertisements in applications I would suggest not installing as many.. Adblocking whether by hosts file or Adhell3 works by blocking the dns lookup of an advertisement. Both methods are not 100% perfect because if an advertisement comes from the same domain as where you are accessing (like facebook or Youtube sometimes do) then the advertisement will still be shown. Still to cut down on advertisements I would suggest going with Adhell3 over root.
- Is there any way to root the phone without custom recovery?
Nope, that means also that once you decice to flash custom recovery your knox will be triggered 0x1 in bootloader and it cant be reversed by flashing stock.
- will I be able to install system updates if I root the phone? if not how am I supposed to install them when the device is rooted?
Most devs here release latest build of their ROMs based on the latest security patches from official stock ROMs. You can just dirty flash the latest build over the previous one.
- will it lose any of its features? if yes, which features?
Samsung pay and secure folder. However you can try google pay as an alternative and you can use MagiskHide to make apps work even if the phone is rooted.
- will I be able to go full stock again and gain all the lost features back?
You can go back to stock, but you wont be able to use the features mentioned above. It's a one way irreversible process.
