Battery died and it doesn't power on.

Then how the fuck do they know magisk is running on the phone?

They replaced the battery, saw then sent back the broken one?

So someone got payed to wait for the phone to be shipped to them, took the effort to carefully and meticulously disassemble the phone, install the new battery by micro soldering the battery leads to the mainboard, then booted it to see it blew a shitty security fuse but can still boot fine, then took the time and effort to uninstall by removing the micro solder from the battery and mainboard without damaging the phone, just to tell them they can't do it?

I wouldn't be at ALL surprised

Exposition time!

So I took it to the repair while the battery was about to die. Somehow, the battery just started working again (it kinda phased in and out of broken and not broken before dying at the time of posting) so they saw Magisk was installed. Fast Forward to the day I made the post. The phone finally died completely and wouldn't charge no matter what, but I hadn't uninstalled Magisk. Meaning I can't unless its repaired. And if they repair it right now, I won't have a chance to uninstall Magisk and will be forced to pay for it.

Knox https://samsung.gadgethacks.com/how-to/root-almost-any-galaxy-s6-s6-edge-without-tripping-knox-0161912/ tldr; samsung sucks, older phones are possible to bypass on but with caveats such as no OTAs and no custom recovery.

Oh I thought you were talking about a physical fuse lol.
