Hi All
I have a question for you. I have an S6 Edge SM-G925I, unrooted with Knox untripped. I want to upgrade to Marshmellow and am considering flashing it with an official Android 6 ROM.
If I do this (using Odin), will this trip knox?
I've searched on the forum and someone has asked the same question (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/flashing-stock-unbranded-firmware-t3257477) but the respondant didn't specify whether Knox would be tripped, only that the warranty would still be valid.
Thanks in advance

They are synonyms.
Your warranty is void if you trip knox. If you trip knox your warranty is void.
Please give @Uzair40 credit for this.
Have fun.

The warranty is not void when we flash a stock firmware.

I understand that rooting trips it, but if you flash back a stock firmware, does that untrip it? or is it forever tripped?
tripped for good

It won't get tripped, I have disabled Knox services on mine and still KNOX counter is 0x0
Didn't somebody from the note 3 or 4 forum successfully reset Knox??

Probably talking about the PingPong Tool, link here : http://www.xda-developers.com/pingpong-tool-roots-your-galaxy-s6-without-tripping-knox/
CAUTION : This is not available yet for the S6 EDGE. Only for the standard s6...
There is support for the S6 Edge. I have a Verizon S6 Edge that I rooted this morning with PingPong.

Right, just found it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016
So will it void warranty ?
And what about otas?
OTA will only work after root is removed, which can be done by flashing a stock FW via odin (there's a simpler way as well, I think - flashing certain partitions only).
Knox bit is not set, thus warranty is NOT void.
Cheers.
Will Flashing via Odin erase the data? or not always??
Also, I think unrooting can be done also via Smart Switch isn't it? (again, what about the data in that case?)

There is a bit on the processor (using eFuse tech) that can be permanently set by the firmware. Samsung uses this bit for it's Knox tech. Knox is used for security for business apps and payments perhaps. If you flash a custom recovery, Knox bit is set forever and will not work. This means your warranty is over too. You can tell if your Knox warranty void bit is set in download mode.
This Pingpong root works without tripping the Knox, so warranty is still there
I was curious if there was root method for 5.1.1 (FOL1) that doesn't void Knox
Not at the moment.

No, but it's hilariously easy to get Samsung to honor a warranty on a device with a tripped Knox flag, if that's what you're worried about

check your device is compatible.
if its SMG92F then there is root for 6.0.1.
instructions on the link.
I think this method will void your warranty.

It will trip knox and Samsung pay.
But if these don't interest you then why not.

rooting will void the warranty. if you do not want to void the warranty then please don't do it
