KNOX tripped

I know knox trip will void warranty. But,Can Samsung service center reset my device's knox? I don't mind if they charge me.

I dont think so because a lot of Samsung phones have Hardware backed Knox system and if thats tripped there is no way to restore it. May be (There is a may be) if your phone had software based knox they can restore it.

Secure Folder, Samsung Wallet, Samsung pass, Health not working.
Google Pay is working. Is that mean knox tripped at s/w level?

Whats your modal number?

The only way to restore Knox is to get the motherboard replaced. Knox is hardware based 100% of the times, hence if you trip it, there is no going back without hardware replacement.

How do you know? Ever experienced this kind of issue before?

[Anikroyale]

It is not an issue. It is expected behavior for Knox TEE. Knox has an e-fuse which gets blown the moment there is an unauthorized change made to the software, like maybe installing a custom recovery, or disabling Android vbmeta, and it CANNOT be restored just via software.

How do I know? Knowledge is available for free on the internet. And yes, I have experienced it.

Are u sure its 100% hardware in each and every phone and it cannot be resored?

[Anikroyale]

100%. Absolutely nobody has been able to restore Knox is any device. If you know how to do it without hardware replacement, please do share the procedure because then it will be a breakthrough in the developer community.
