My phone is not rooted I've checked. It's unlocked but I'm not sure if it's by Sprint or some other method coz look at these screenshots weird right. Btw I got this update and I'm not sure weather to update or not coz I don't want to lose my unlock in case it relock to Sprint, any help appreciated thanks
Simple way to find out if was ever rooted, put phone in download mode and check knox warranty void status
it says binary official and knox is void
should i update???

No point on flashing or updating, knox is void and samsung pay won't work anymore on devices that have tripped knox
If I update will it relock?
Depends the way it was unlocked , I did mine on a remote service and didn't relocked after any update

Thats the thing i dont know how it was unlocked but i reckon it shouldnt relock cause it says official status and works with non-sprint sim. I bought it second hand thats why i dont know.
I updated and it did not relock hew

Calling verizon and having them troubleshoot my phone, right now its stock with unlocked bootloader....NOT rooted. Is that ok or do you think they will find out and void my warranty? dunno if I want to authorize remote access but they will probably have me read off my settings.....

If it is stock with just an unlocked bootloader you will be fine. They would not be able to tell unless they had the phone in their hands.
1) if i root my device will I lose the warranty? Cause apparently the device is unlocked..
2) what is the safest way to root the device?
3) if the root fails and i break my phone.. Will i be able to send it to the company to repair it?
Update:
About the unlock thingy...
4) does having the h815 version means that it is unlocked? If not.. Then my phone is still locked and is under warranty...
If your phone is already unlocked u have already void your warranty
And if u root and thay find out then your warranty is void
Trick is to unroot before u send it.
But if u experience the famous bootloop then u are in for a bummer

I said that the phone is unlocked bassed on it's the global version... And that it works in israel(my country).. Not that i downloaded the tool and unlocked it or something..
Isn't the global version unlocked? And if not... What is actually the unlock..
Hi, im looking at getting the lg g4.
however, my question is does the lg have a similar software to the samsung such as knox which is tripped if you flash a custom kernel etc

no but you need the int version to be able to unlock bootloader...if not nothing custom!!!
Nope, I guess
If you unlock the bootloader with lg official tool (makes void the warranty), you can flash everything is available
But, unlocked bootloader screen will be displayed at every boot. So, same bad knox issue for warranty.

Hi
Thank you so much but you cannot explain me step by step because I'm not sure the right way.
Pretty sure with Samsungs once you trip Knox there's no way back. Made that mistake with Tab S4

Not sure what exactly you did.
Do you mean you just toggled "allow OEM unlock" in Developer Settings? If so, just go back to Developer Setting and toggle it back off.
Do you mean you booted into Download mode and confirmed you wanted to unlock the bootloader? If that's the case, I'm not sure. Maybe boot into Download mode again and see if there's an option to relock it?
Either way, unlocking the bootloader should not have tripped Knox or prevented you from using Knox services.
Now. If you unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP or any custom firmware, then Knox is tripped and that is irreversible. If that's the case you'll never be able to use Knox services on that device again.

I think once you unlock it trips Knox as it considers itself "vulnerable" then.

I used to think that as well; however, I've been told by a few Exynos users that unlocking bootloader itself will not trip Knox. I did some research last night and the site's I found agreed. Knox is not tripped until a custom recovery or firmware is flashed.
I'm NOT saying I'm 100% right about that. I have a US Snapdragon and haven't unlocked a bootloader since the S7Edge (I bought a Exynos model of that phone from eBay). I'm just researching and trying to help the OP best I can. It sounds like he tripped Knox and that can't be reversed, but won't know until we find out exactly what he did.

Yea SD here, he might have done something more than, instead of just toggling.
I am planning to root my device and I was wondering is the warranty still ruined after locking the bootloader so my question is:
If I lock the bootloader is the warranty still ruined?
Well you don't lose it in the first place. No, unlocking the bootloader doesn't void your warranty.
if you restore MIUI rom and bring back phone to factory system you not loose your warranty, only if you leave unlocked bootloader and custom rom in phone you dont have warrant.
I believe once you unlock bootlaoder service center can check if you did it or not even if you re-lock it.

No, if you reflash the firmware, they can't check if you've unlocked it before (if you didn't unlocked officially in the first place).
Well most manufacturers (cheepo ones) do not implemented this kind of tech that persists data over a firmware flash.
Also, most of the time, they don't even check for this.
