I have an s4 i9505 and am contemplating rooting the device, I had my s3 rooted and custom rommed and would just like some advice cause I am soooo scared of voiding the warranty.
Maybe letting me know the ins and outs, so if I wanted to root and put cwm on my phone to get some custom apps such as bm sound, But I didnt apply a custom rom, would this void my warranty??
Any help would be great peeps

Hi,
Custom ROM and custom recovery will void the warranty.
You could use THIS ROM
It gives you root,but keeps the phone "Official"
Worth looking into.

Just wanted to ask if this is true or not, that even though my s4 is not rooted I can install custom roms without rooting my device is this true?
Yes. Just need custom recovery.

This KNOX thing is creating too much confusion. Somebody please clear it. Some say that KNOX won't allow us to root ar flash custom kernels n roms. Some are say that KNOX bootloader can be replaced. I am using GT-I9500 (4.3 official, MJ8 build number, not rooted), which i wish to root. What should i exactly do to get rid of knox?
Please help. Thanks

I too am confused with this whole Knox stuff. But from my experience, you can Root and install custom software but it will void your warranty. I'm not sure if it's any different on the 9500 as I've got a 9505 but there is currently NO way to get rid of Knox, once you've got it, you're stuck with it.

you can root after upgrading to knox
you can also install a custom recovery
knox counter (which is not really a counter if my understanding is correct) will increase to 1, meaning you will loose the waranty
so I was running the last S4 official firmware, I root'ed it using CF auto root, then installed philz touch recoveryn than i flashed the goole edition rom from jamal
and of course I lost the waranty, hope I wont need it

I have a Sprint Galaxy S4. I old one broke and i got a another using my warranty. There was no way they could repair it. it had a rock go through the phone. My old one had the old bootloader and i rooted it, installed CWM bootloader and had custom roms on it. I liked it that way. My new one had the newer Kit Kat OS on it. I was aware of the KNOX counter on the newer version of android. I know i can root it with out tripping the KNOX counter but can you install custom roms on my phone. What if i don't care about tripping the KNOX counter can i still install CWM or Philz recovery? If so, will KNOX let me install custom roms. Basically i want to do what i used to do on my old phone; freely try different recoveries/bootloaders and custom roms, with out KNOX interfering. At the very minimum have root access and install any of the newer custom roms that are out there( particularly the Negalite rom.)
Yes you can. Search next time please. This has been answered before.

Hey all!
I just bought a Note 3 9005 (LTE) version.
I would like to root it, install a custom recovery and flash a custom rom or keep the stock if I like it in the meantime.
==> What should I know? What is that Knox? How to root? flash CWM/TWRP? etc...
The phone is used and doesn't have any warranty so I don't care about software Knox counter or anything similar in case it DOESN'T affect anything hardware in the phone or doesn't hinder the usage of the phone!
Note: BTW what S5 rom would you recommend me?
Thank you!
Damn 78 views and no single reply... that's really sad!
I thought you would welcome me and help me!
You have many posts to read how to root....and for 5S you have 2 roms...
Because spoon feeding sucks.
What you are asking, is answered on the web in the millions. And besides, it won't hurt you if you do some reading on your own. Stop being lazy.

As you don't care about Knox, you can use CF-Auto Root. It is considered a easy way to root. I personally use CWM recovery.
Regarding custom ROM I have no idea.

- Hey
- Welcome!
- Then do just that
- You will trip KNOX - KNOX is a warranty counter than allows the phone to use Samsung KNOX services as well as your warranty status - Flash TWRP in recovery and let it root your phone.
- If you don't care about warranty you don't have to care for KNOX. You can happily flash any kernels and ROMs without hesitation.
- Use RC-Elite's S5 port, others are not supported by the devs anymore.
- You're welcome!
Just flash any rom (I prefer MultiX) and enjoy all the beauty of android

Hi,
I am about to flash custom ROM (omega to be exact). Will Knox work? Is there something I need to pay attention too?
I don't think custom roms come with knox.
Only if they are based on stock and the dev decided not to remove knox files I guess.
But you can download it from google play right? Will it work without complications on custom room.
Don't want to sound a noob, but I am
It should. Since it doesn't say that it is device restricted or anything
Why the hell you want KNOX , everyone want to loose it !!!
Knox won't work, because on nearly every custom rom you have got root access. How should that be possible?
