Hi all,
I have the S6 Edge SM-G925F on Vodafone UK, It is unlocked to any carrier and I am curently using an EE contract sim.
My question is, if I flash official EE firmware to my handset using odin will it trip knox?
I am sorry if this has been answered already but I Could not find anything with search.
No it won't. As long as your using Official Factory Images - your status will remain official and Knox flag won't be tripped

Hi there
First smartphone - have a Touchpad running CM9 so I'm not a total Android newb but I'm having a heck of a time navigating through all this talk of kernels/adb/flash counters/odin/etc. etc.
My question is pretty simple - is there a way to root my Telus Samsung Galaxy Note LTE I717 so I can get CWM/SauROM/both on it WITHOUT tripping the flash counter?
AFAIK, the threads in the Android Dev forums lead me to belive that's possible for the AT&T version, but there are no hacked Telus/Rogers/Bell system.img files to flash with Odin - only the AT&T one.
But then I'm confused, as the kernel flash by Da_G that does increase your flash counter is not differentiated at all by carrier, and it apparently works for all carriers.
Am I missing something?
Hi guys,
I've been searching about this subject but i could not find a anwser to all my questions. I own a Galaxy S III, and i see a lot off people using the UK Unbranded Official Rom, saying that it have more advantages. My phone is sim locked to vodafone, therefore it has a vodafone official rom. In the first place i would like to ask if flashing to the UK Unbranded rom gives me more advantages than the rom i'm using right know. And does flashing void the warranty ?
Thanks

No but it will remove Voda apps and branding .
. And does flashing void the warranty ?
Technically from Voda possible but not from Samsung .

Hi all,
I'm a bit of a noob to the Android scene so please be gentle - apologies if this is a daft question.
I'd really like to flash an unbranded ROM to my UK Vodafone S3 but had a couple of questions:
If I flash unbranded, will this have any effect on my contract with Vodafone (other than warranty, of course)? Would calls, text and data still work in the same way?
Would I be able to receive any form of OTA updates? I assume not the Vodafone ones but it would be great to get the Google ones hot off the press
Many thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Regards,
mroshaw

Im vodafone UK and have had no probs with using custom ROMs or unbranded ROMS (only warranty but then you could flash stock rom and use Triangle away)
Only differences I notice is some ROMs have better signal strength but I stay in Highlands so signal is not brilliant anyway lol as for OTA if you custom then OTA generally doesn't work but most devs are quick with updates or you could download and install update yourself pretty easily

Sorry to hijack but but not sure if i can create a new topic as just registered.
I have jumped over from the iPhone ship and was wondering exactly the same thing. My S3 will come with orange branding and i want to remove that - can someone point me to a guide please?

Excellent, thank you for that! I guess my other option is to root and use one of the 'cleanup' Apps out there to remove all the Vodafone bloat. Not sure if I'm that keen to get Jelly Bean or if I should just de-bloat and wait for the OTA Vodafone update...
I have an S6 edge from DTM T-Mobile SM-G925F running stock unrooted 6.0.1 build FXXS3DPDF and CSC baseband FXXU3DPBF kernel from April 07. 2016.
I want to root it without tripping KNOX to 0x1 like I did it on my S4 I9505 using CF AutoRoot, so it needs to stay on 0x0. I wanted to try PingPong root but im not sure will it work or will i mess up my phone my aunt bought for my bday 3days ago so help me please. Can i root it using PINGPONG or i will have to throw away my warranty and EAT myyself up watching that
STATUS:CUSTOM
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
in that beautiful light blue new DOWNLOAD mode?
Is there any solution for rooting my phone or i will have to stay at my home and watch my beautiful S6 edge white pearl in a cheap case from eBay?
PS IM SORRY FOR MY SIGNATURE IT WASNT MODIFIED FOR A LONG TIME
I really think that you can't root it and still have varranty.

Are you sure it is G925F and not G925T? you said it was from T-mobile. I do not think there is a root for G925 (any variant) on 6.0.1 that keeps the warranty. However, if you do not want to root using CF-auto-root and system-less root and you are sure the model is G925F, than you can root it using ManhIT's rooted kernel from his google drive at https://drive.google.com/folderview...sp=drive_web&tid=0B40ItdHKfkyQTzl0M3FzMHF5NDg
Yes im pretty sure is a 925F its an international version
My aunt boughtit in germany in dtm deutsche telekom which is not the same as tmo s6 edge so my phone is the same as all 925f its just bootscreen pink ■T■■■ and stock ringtone not over the horizon then T ringtone
Ps when youre here do you know how to fix a scratch on it
These pics are from my dads NEXUS5 CRACKED running cm13 nightly
Hello everyone!
Is there any worth flashing the SM-G965U1 firmware on my SM-G965U? I have done some light reading, and noticed some people do this on their network unlocked phones.
Additionally, would there be any worth flashing the XAA version of the firmware? I am using the phone in Mexico with Telcel (which is working perfectly fine right now). Would this invalidate OTAs? Currently I'm getting "No update available" (which I had to fix myself by manually flashing with Odin)
My phone is currently SPR/XAA/SPR.

all it does is add the ability to remove bloatware. Itll also remove the wifi calling, voLTE, etc etc
That works for me! Thanks!
still no root and FRP unlock 965u ??
