but you cant use cwm or twrp or install a custom rom
This root will void warranty.
Quote form the post you mentioned:
"Flash counters and KNOX warranty
Using this root method sets current binary and system status to custom. Additionally, it will also trigger the KNOX warranty void status.
This device store the traditional flash counter. Nor is is possible with Triangle Away to reset the current binary status. You will need to flash a stock kernel and stock recovery to reset the binary status.
The KNOX warranty status change is permanent, and a service center may deny warranty based on this flag - even if the other flags are reset correctly. The KNOX flag being tripped may also prevent certain Samsung KNOX features from working (enterprise security features). If this is something you care about, use a root method not based on custom kernels or recoveries, like a modified system partition. These are possible, but I don't personally make them, so look around!"

Hello again,
I'm not sure if I can replace my Note 3 under warranty FOC with the status screen at recovery showing the following messages :
Current Binary : Samsung Official
System Status : Custom
Knox Kernel Lock : 0x0
Knox Warranty Void : 0x0
I'm just worried about the System Status : Custom message. Is that a problem?
I unrooted using the method explained in this thread and this link directly takes to my post in that thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46511887#post46511887
Do I have to do anything else for replacement under warranty?
Thank you for any information.
Remove SD card and reboot. Then check status again.
Or you can just Flash stock room through Odin and it will all be official again.

Thank you. I flashed the official latest rom and everything is official again.
But why do I read so many times that flashing custom roms will void warranty, if this can be reverted by flashing official roms?
Is it that the knox will be tripped to 0x1? I flashed using the method I mentioned above but my knox stayed at 0x0...

Most custom roms require a custom recovery to be installed, this will trip Knox. Also most custom roms have altered kernels, this too will trip Knox.
You have simply gained root without replacing the recovery or the kernel.

There's a bit of murky waters regarding the warranty if knox is tripped. But recently Samsung have said knox tripping does not affect warranty. But to be on the safe side some people decide to not trip knox. There are ways to root and flash custom roms without trooping knox but not if you are on one of the latter bootloaders.
Once knox is tripped there is no going back as it stands. ..... But if you like to customize your phone and make it look and feel much nicer .... Who gives a foookk .....I for one don't?
Also knox can be tripped flashing stock firmware using odin.... If you are unlucky. ..

Thank you all for the Knox explanations. That cleared up some doubts of mine.
Sorry for a repeat post, but I dont want to trip knox on my Note 3. I heard you can use the kingo app and not void your warranty (knox 0x0). Here are my specs:
AT&T Note 3 (SM-N900A) Locked BootLoader
Sim Unlocked
Firmware/Build: MJ5
So if I use kingo app and root will Knox be tripped?
Thanks for any help and sorry if its a repeat just want a 100% confirmation, before I do anything I may regret

The only time KNOX will be tripped is if you tamper with the kernel. Rooting does not affect the kernel and therefore does not trip KNOX.

well good news, root worked and knox is not tripped, but upon opening SuperSU it asked if I wanted to disable KNOX, I dont know the method it gets rid of knox, but will this also trip KNOX?
Thank You
Thank you to the two users who helped me with this, I simply just installed Xposed Framework and Wanam Exposed and blocked Knox notifications and set system status to "Official", now I can be FREE!
i used the kango no it says custom and there is a un locked lock ? knox triped ????
No Knox isn't tripped . Install xposed framework and the module xanam exposed and I think under one of the settings you can set to official instead of custom and it gets rid of the unlocked lock on boot. Just do a Google search if you need help installing . To see if you tripped Knox go into download mode by powering off and holding all three buttons at the same time, power, home and volume down and then a screen will appear and press volume up and you will see a list of things look for warranty bit, 0x0 is a valid warranty and 0x1 is a voided warranty. Hope it helps

May I downgrade only the frimware from MJ7 to MJ5 through odin (and keeping my knox 0x0) then root using kingo or other way who not trip the knox then using mobile odin pro to go back on MJ7 and keep root and 0x0 ?
From what I have read flashing or downgrading bootloader may be impossible or resulted in Knox tripping. I would recommend either waiting for another forum member or opening your own thread (if one doesn't already exist).

Hi guys, I have a Galaxy S4 I9505, and I've been reading for a while about KNOX "Counter". I want to root my S4, but I want to know if I root or unroot my KNOX Counter will increase from 0x0 to 0x1? And it is so, I can reset that Counter to 0x0? Because I don't want to lose my warranty.
Thanks in advance!
These are really basic question and have been asked a 1000 times already. If you really did read about Knox you would have find those basic anwsers. I don't think you have read much about Knox. There is a big thread here about Knox. You find your anwsers there.

my friend, the link below is described completely the knox...

its no problem if your device has not guaranty.
Ya I think that your device gt i9505 support triangleaway so you can reset your flash counter.

samsung gt i9505 support triangle away, and reset counter.
But counter Knox, you can not reset.
just to clarify for you...."flash counter" is a counter that increases each time you flash a rom or whatever. the know 0x1 is a flag which doesn't continually increase, it will either be 0x0 meaning that it's a stock/official system, or it will be 0x1 meaning that the knox flag has been tripped because some part of the system has been modified (e.g. flashing custom rom or recovery, or rooting etc).
so if you want a totally official/full warranty guarantee, don't modify the device in anyway. if you've gone past your warranty date or just don't care about it then you can root/install custom roms kernels and recoveries, but this will likely trip the knox flag if you have the kitkat bootloader.
I got my i9505 unlocked without any warranty. Its running stock I9505XXUGNE5. What could be consequences if I root my device?
Would I be able to receive OTA updates after rooting?
Do I need to delete all KNOX related stuff after rooting? Because I've heard that CF root method does interfere with KNOX in such a way that you get random reboots.
Firstly you have a i9505 unlocked so there are no problem for root.Secondly if u will root u can't receive ota updates and when you are trying to root thay ask you stop the knox...after cf-rooted you never install knox again...because your flash counter start counting...but your device supported triangleaway so u can clear all your counter and u also back to official.

What I understand from your post is:
1) I can't receive OTA updates after rooting, so how will I upgrade to latest stock? Using Odin?
2) If I use CF-Root, KNOX will be deleted and I should not install it again, right?
3) Knox counter can be cleared using 'triangleaway', right?
So it means there is not much to lose other than KNOX? My last android phone was Xperia U and when I unlocked its bootloader its DRM keys were destroyed which means no more Bravia engine and XLoud. I hope nothing like this happens with S4.
Yoy can get ota update via kies and when you clear you flash counter u can install knox agian....and not much thing u lose except knox.

You should read the first thread in the Q&A section about Knox. You are getting things mixed.
If you flash a good custom rom, you really don't want to go back to stock. Don't ask what a good rom is, because that's all about personal preference.
you're confusing some stuff.
the Knox warranty void counter WILL BE TRIPPED if you'll root your device, hence, your Knox app will not work on your device.
there is no possible way to reset the Knox counter as for now.
You won't get OTA updates, because your phone will change from Official status to Custom, though with xposed module: wanam xposed, you can trick your device to be official, and still get updates via the option there: fake system status.
you can always flash a new rom with odin, even stock roms of course... but you will have to root the device again.
triangle away will reset the flash counter, but it will not reset the Knox warranty void counter.
you can see that counter in download mode (pwr button+volume down+home button)
Knox warranty void: 0x0 (not tripped) 0x1 (tripped)
Sorry for the nooby question, but what does OTA mean?

No, no updates but you can restore via odin of you decide later you want them. For knox phones if you will be going custom then I recommend to do so sooner than later, I've got this crazy hunch......
I had number of issues with wifi just breaking intermittently on a knox bootloader gs4 once I went custom. I would have to power down for a few minutes and then power back on to get it to come back up! it's odd because with time it seems that this issue goes away on its own for good once the custom rom and kernel has had a chance to settle, which takes a few days... The only reason why I think that this would happen is because knox can't be disabled completely and perhaps the knox bootloader is looking for some kind of knox response from the wifi driver which isn't present because it's not availble in custom rom and perhaps there is a fail count that need to be triggered before knox bootloader just give up and disables this check completely? Anyone else's thoughts on this?
But beware, for me, this issue comes back once you re-flash a new custom rom/kernel and then you have to wait it out again...
So it seems knox is still active somewhat even though you have a custom rom/kernel installed. The other reason why I recommend switching sooner rather than later is this approach, I would imagine allows for more time to react and fine tune software to work with different bootloaders Eventually as kernels and custom roms are optimized the code should speak better to the knox bootloader.
If your always upgrading then you may not be allowing enough time for open source community to react and mature to the unforeseen changes that appear in new bootloaders.
I have another gs4 no knox MDJ bootloader and have no wifi issues at all, it solid! but this may be because the community has had more time to talk to and MDJ bootloader.

well I think you havent heard from geohots new rooting method, he claims to be able to root s5 and note 3 with the single installation of his application and pressing one single button. he even said when he tried it on his phone, knox counter was never tripped to 0x1. I was already aware of how knox worked and that there wasnt any rooting method that wont trip the knox flag. but as soon as I saw it on the forums, I went straight to ask if someone tested it on a i9500. so, anyone ?
