Unrootabilty ?

Hello :)
I'm looking forward to buy a new phone later this year, most likely a S5 or a G3. While I'm ok with the specs of both of them, I don't like their software (the G3 with its bloatware and the S5 with its ugly UI) . I know this can be solved with rooting, and I would like to install Cyanogenmod to solve the problems. But now the concern - is it possible to completely unroot the phone back to its 'out of the box' state, and therefore not to void the warranty, in case of an unhappy incident ?
 
I think you're safe with the LG but Samsung have added Knox security to their phones with an "efuse" that is permanently "tripped" when you flash unofficial software thus voiding your warranty so I'd avoid Samsung if you plan to flash it :thumbsupdroid:
