Odin Flash

If I flash official firmware to my Samsung phone,Will it void my warranty?

Hi no it will not. The flash counter will remain 0 and knox will not get tripped. As long as Odin and Official firmware is used

Hey can I know some info about the flash counter aka Knox counter?

[Dr_Sadesh_Abey]

Sure, what is it?

[chathuradesilva]

Is it something related to the knox security platform? So is it only related to the samsung devices? And what is it actually?Basically I need some general info. Is there anything similar to this on other Android devies from other OEMs?

Hi Friend,

Short answer is NO it won’t, this method is totally safe and won’t void Your warranty.

To explain it a bit more in depth, If you are upgrading the firmware, or flashing the Official firmware there is nothing to worry about, as the upgrading wont trigger your Knox. If you decide to downgrade, then your Knox counter will get triggered, and the warranty may be void (depending on where are you located).
