Hello guys. Recently i joined note 8 forums from note 3.
I have 950f with dual sim. I can choose to oem unlock. But i have galaxy care and guarantee of the phone. I want to root to add apps for camera modding and etc. So I'm afraid of rooting to change the agreenment of care and other stuff. If i root i change the agreenment?

Instantly voids your warranty. I mean don't you already know that? Just saying.

If afraid of rooting, DO NOT DO IT, and about warranty, depends of your contry/carrier polocies, in Mexico rooting does not void warranty at least claiming it with the biggest carrier telcel

rooting will also void usage of Samsung Pay.

There is no compelling reason to root today. From themes to ad blocking, there is a solid non-root solution available. The reasons to avoid root like warranty and Samsung Pay are pretty big. IMO, stay away from root. Your money tho.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

That's bad advice since OP is worried about voiding warranty and losing functionality...read post 1.

If you have any bit of desire to maintain warranty coverage you just simply stay away from the topic of rooting. End of. Any stink of warranty stuff, rooting is a no go.

When you root, you trip the knox counter, there is no way back, even if you unroot and return fully stock. The knox counter stays tripped which means you'll lose Samsung Pay and Secure Folder forever.

You gain features and functionality with root, however. Native automatic call recording, ad-blocking (not just in the browsers), Titanium Backup, Full system Backup, AFWall+ (blocking internet access to specific apps)... etc.

So it is up to you to decide whether it is worth it or not.
