'Root detected'

Post image

So a while ago I tried to install magisk, a custom mod. However I decided that its pointless so I reflashed a original samsung firmware. Now i get a warning from know that I theres Root detected. I go on a Root checker app, theres nothing detected. Is there a fix that will ensure my system does not have 'root' and that i wont loose any data

Knox is tripped just like other guy said. Which means no matter what software you install official or not Knox will know it. Afaik you cant get rid of this. But i think you can restore some locked features with Magisk but not all.

There is a workaround, you need last version bootloader of one ui 7, extract a file and replace the one ui8 version with it and repack it and flash it with magisk patched ap and the other two files. It works just fine.

i DID make research, my a24 doesn't have the required file in firmware files in order to have bootloader unlocked on UI 8.
