I am not of English mother tongue. Neither are Koreans, but it seems clear that KNOX WARRANTY VOID cannot be the same as the shorter WARRANTY VOID. I did read about voiding the warranty for rooting and software at Sony's but couldn't find a word from Samsung. Am I wrong? I am not sure that changing the software could legally void a hardware warranty, at least on all countries. It can cause working problems on a phone just as it does on computers and even make them un-bootable without voiding any warranty. It doesn't make sense for me.
At the end I would go ahead and forget about the warranty, but the remaining of this quoted text is a bit too much. What shall I do? I have the latest MJ7.
Is this what will happen by following your rooting guide? I am really disappointed because as I am new to Android and having difficulties to understand everything, I have spent more than one week reading, trying to learn, and I find your guide the very best I read on every point, even if there is so much to read about on so many places.#1.2. Flashing the latest Android firmwares will overwrite your system files and kernel as well as locking the bootloader, if not already locked. If you are flashing this to an already rooted phone, it will um-root you and, currently, there is no way to re-root and flash a custom recovery or ROM without tripping the Knox flag and possibly, see #1.10, voiding your warranty as well as rendering it unusable as a BYOD for organistaions that require an untouched Knox counter for security. It also means that if you have apps that rely on root, such as SuperSU, you will not be able to uninstall them. Therefore, if you are going to install a stock Samsung, Knox enabled firmware to a rooted phone, you should first fully un-root and uninstall any root associated apps prior to updating.
