    Samsung just does it to trigger Knox and not let you use some security minded things on the phone.

    They also, however, have their phones pretty much impossible to root anymore. I don’t think most ever get a custom rom, because pretty much no one can get a Samsung phone to except one. I believe my old Note 20 Ultra is still not rootable.

      I’d love to put a custom OS on mine, even if it tripped the Knox fuse (which disables the Samsung Pay NFC option). The issue I have is that no CFW allows / guarantees compatible VoLTE…and without that, phones don’t really work on Australian networks. Have to have 4G + white listed VoLTE.

      Its a mess down here.

      Ironically, my Duoquin F21 pro works perfectly. How they got white listed I have no idea

      For me I found out when I wanted them to fix something and they refused to honour the warranty because of the blown fuse.

      As far as I know, this is illegal, btw. They have to prove that the error you are reporting is caused by user action. If your battery craps out, they can’t blame it on you rooting your phone.
