Just needed some advice on what to do in my situation. I've tripped the knox warranty and I've soft bricked my phone. What are my options now?? Thanks in advance!

Since you have soft bricked you should follow the instructions in this thread.
As for KNOX there is no cure.

I was wondering if anyone's heard of encrypting the device voiding the warranty.
Also, if I lose the password and have NOT rooted the phone and have NOT turned on USB debugging, is there some way to do a factory reset on it? (I don't plan on rooting my phone anytime soon)
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II.
Thanks
You can factory reset the device from the bootloader. No need for rooting.
Thanks, however...
Thanks, however it appears that enabling the bootloader voids the warranty, making it almost as undesirable as rooting to me.
Is there a way to do the factory reset without voiding the warranty when I've locked myself out?
(Also, it'd be nice to have my other question answered)
Thanks again
P.S. I clicked on the "tip us?" link on this thread and it says I voted...I'm not sure what that means though. I had javascript disabled so that may be effecting it.

Shut down the device, then Volume Up + Power will take you to a menu.. You can factory reset from there. It won't void your warranty. Don't know whether encrypting would void the warranty..

If your phone warranty is out, than just leave it, right now there's no tool to reset it accept from SAMSUNG themselves. If its still under warranty than good luck to you in sending in for repair, they might honour it or maybe not. If they don't than just pay for their service charge and parts change.
I have been searching since yesterday and need a little help. A friend bought a Samsung Mega from someone on Craigslist and has been a nightmare for him. It seems as if the guy was messing with things he shouldnt have been.
The phone will only boot into Download Mode, but the Stock AT&T image will need Flash. It seems as if the phone was updated to Kit Kat, and now it will not flash the stock rom (because it is 4.2). I have tried Samsung Kies, but Kies will not do Update or Recover the Firmware. The phone is recognized by my PC, but thats about the most I've gotten out of it.
In download mode I get the following:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SGH-I527
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox Warranty Void: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
Bootloader AP SWREV: 4
Write Protection: Enable
Any help would be great. The warranty is voided due to third party screen replacement. Just need any advice. Thanks.
If I Rooted my Phone (Alcatel One Touch Pop C5) the warranty will be voided But if i permanently unRoot or Temporarily unroot my phone again because something happened to it and i want to use the warranty (and if i haven't use custom roms or modified my Phone) will the Warranty be unvoided or it will still be voided ?
I just found out my knox is 0x1 now. I did not root or do anything to my s6. Updated to 5.1.1 . But there is one thing I am not sure if that will triggered knox.
I set up Find my mobile and on the reactivation lock. After that I tried to boot into recovery to do a factory reset. But it shows the reactivation lock and wasn't able to boot into recovery. So I boot into my phone and turn it off. I was able to factory reset my phone again. After that I tried looking at the info, it says KNOX is 0x1. I am sure before that was 0x0 as I have checked it. Will trying to boot into recovery while reactivation lock is on trigger the knox? Hope someone have information about this. And hope other don't make the same mistake as I do if you do not want to tripped your knox.
You should just root the device now. Samsung will not be able to help you because the device is now considered OOW.
