Hi
Just rooted my phone using Magisk but still using stock ROM & kernel... if this means my Knox is still not trigger and still have warranty.. can i just flash stock ROM & kernel via Odin ans start using Samsung Pay ?
Using the phone info SAM im seeing knox = 0x0 but when going thru download mode can see the warranty void = 1 (0x030c)

What you see in download mode would be the actual status of the knox on your device.
Since Knox is tripped it's permanent and Knox is now disabled, the warranty is now void and you will no longer be able to use Samsung Pay on that device.

Hey if i flash 2.3.4/ROOT will warrenty get void?
Even if i flash stock 2.3.3 back?
Yes, unless you flash back to stock and reset the custom software counter using a USB Jig. You can find out about this by searching the forum.
So i flashed a insecure kernel and rooted my phone. In the guide i followed it stated that if i reflash th stock kernel the root will still be on my phone but the yellow triangle will go away. So i did that and the root disappeared.
If i go into download mode it says :custom binary download : counting 1 or something like that
Is my warranty voided even if i unrooted?

Yes you have now voided you warranty, if you re-root your phone then you can use a cool app by chainfire that will remove the triangle and it will reset your counter, so they wont know you have tampered with your phone keeping your warranty intact.
Click here for app, make sure it will work on you phone and that you have ICS firmware.

As long as you unroot completely and keep your binary counter on 0, then yeah, u should get your warranty back

Yes ....
If we manage to do flash counter zero then warranty not void........
And we can use triangle away application for doing flash counter zero.......

Plain truth of the matter is root = void warranty even with a reset counter as you have not removed root .
So you remove root by flashing a stock rom .Reset rom counter and check status is not custom .
Also check in settings about phone that its not showing as modified .Plus delete any root apps like CWM or TA or Superuser .
The Samsung letter to service personal regrading void warranty and what to look for is freely available on the internet .

According to this thread, if you live in Europe, rooting doesn't necessarily cancel your warranty. Samsung would have to prove that rooting played some role in your phone's problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998801
The article is correct but not complete.
In the first year the seller has to prove you caused the issue, in the second one you actually have to be able to prove you didn't.
However the simple fact is that:
- if the phone fully boots you can flash stock rom and reset the counter as normal. If necessary through an external USB keyboard if touchscreen is broken
- if the phone only gets into recovery but cannot be flashed, a correct TriangleAway will have taken care of setting it to a nice 0.
The "device modified" in the real system cannot be accessed since it won't boot obviously.
- if the phone doesn't turn at all (even with JIG) the "device modified" cannot be access either.
There's still a possibility of the repair service manually checking the filesystem for the telltale modifications, but the risk is rather very slim.
What about If I flashed cm10 then go to.Sammy service center

Custom rom = warranty fail .
Its also easy enough for Samsung to defend the custom rom warranty rejection under EU law as they may well show firmware is not tested .

Reboot the phone in Download mode. (Home-Volume Down-Power then press volume up when it asks) Look for the line at the top that says Knox Warranty. If it is 0x0 then you are good. If it is 0x1 then it is tripped.
Guess I did trip it thanks
