Rooting process is highly custom and involves certain risks. Root your Samsung Galaxy will void its warranty. If your device has a Knox counter on the Bootloader, rooting it will trip the counter and you won’t be able to reset Knox after that. In case of any mishap, DroidDosh, Samsung or Chainfire may not be held responsible. Make sure that you’re rooting your phone after understanding each and everything, and you’re doing it at your own risk.
