I'm still within my 14 day exchange period (barely). I need to exchange my phone but I'm rooted (using Towelroot).
1. Will they be able to tell I was rooted? I didn't see anything about KNOX during root process (aside from SU# asking if I wanted to try to disable it upon install).
2. If so, will they care? (phone works fine, no "problems" it's an S5 Active and the physical hardware buttons are turning the phone on in my pocket constantly, I'm going to try the standard S5 - I know it's somewhat prone to this but it's not nearly as bad; my wife has S5 and no issues...)
3. Anything I should / could do to avoid any potential issues? I've got system / OTA updates disabled via TB so presumably if I let the phone update itself I'll lose root and return to stock.
4. Has anyone exchanged a phone (during initial 14 day period)? Any issues or was it painless?
Thanks in advance for any input. I've got maybe 2-3 days left in my exchange period so I'm hoping to get this figured out.
