[Q] Is there a way to root MJ7 without breaking Knox ?

Hi !
I made a mistake... I flashed my brand new Note 3 with the latest unbranded firmware from sammobile (N9005XXUDMJ7) with Odin. Flashing was successful and everything works fine. But I made it before I even read something about rooting that phone... Now I know that MJ7 is very hard to root without breaking Knox Is there a possibility to reverse it back to MJ3 ? Or maybe there is a way to root with flag 0x0 ?
If there is no way to do this I must wait until somone much smarter than me find the way...

[Q] root galaxy s4 i9505 android 4.4.2 Knox 0x0

Hi guys,
I got my s4 i9505 2 weeks ago.
After booting I updated to Android 4.4.2. After I did that I did some research on how to root my device and was shocked about what I found out. I understand that there no chance of rooting the phone without flipping Knox tag (thus void warranty). I understand that there is a way (saferoot) if you have a pre 4.4.2 rom which I don't have any more. I read in the Knox Q&A that there is a method called root de la vega which does not flip the Knox tag. But if I understand the thread right you have to flash a rom and that will flip the Knox tag. I am lost here.
Further more I read that Samsung sometimes refuses to repair even hardware damages if the tag is flipped to void warranty.* I paid so much money that I really do not want to take that risk.
I could not find answers to the following questions. Maybe u guys can help me:
Is it true there is no known way to root a s4 with android 4.4.2 without flipping knox voiding warranty?
Is there no way to go back to a previous rom and use saferoot without voiding warranty?
Are developers working on a solution or will I have to decide to void warranty if I want to have root?
What does the Knox 0x0.sh in root de la vega method do ?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks guys !

There is no way the S4 to rooting without the Knox Counter to increase.
There is also no way to get back on Android 4.3 back.
To my knowledge there has not yet made ​​no developer Knox to crack.

But your device i9505 support triangleaway so you can clear your flash counter but for i9500 it doesn't support yet.

Towelroot seems to be an option.
I managed to root my device Knox 0x0 !! Can you guys comment on that ?

yeah, I used towelroot and no knox was triggered !! amazing!

rooting 4.4.2
If you are on stock rom you can downgrade your kernel via odin and use towelroot to root without tripping knox. Then flash back the correct kernel for your room. Knox 0x0 but device status will be custom.

Root n9005 lollipop 5.0

Hi there,
I would like to know how to root my note 3 just updated to 5.0. I m sorry I read the top message saying how to root, but this links to older android versions and I wouldn't like to end with a locked phone.
Knox is 0x0 but I don't really care as warranty is over. Keeping knox 0x0 would just be the cherry on top of the cake

CP : N9005XXUGBOD1

Thanks

Anyone ? Sorry if it's a dumb question
Would cf autoroot works ?

1. You will have to try Cf-Auto-root and it should work ok.
2. You can't root it without active KNOX 0x1.

you can keep knox 0x0
here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/root-kitkat-lollipop-knox-0x0-t3075251
but no use when warranty is over

Thanks for your answers, I'll go the easy way with cf auto root. Also chainfire.eu site was stating cf auto root for 4.4 but i just checked and it's for 5.0 now, cool

Got confused about Note 3 and Knox current situation

So guys, i got a little bit confused about knox 0x0 - 0x1 - root - custom roms etc.
I own a note 3, when it was with kitkat i've installed twrp through odin and got "knox 0x1 (1)" then i went with official lollipop firmware, and now i've reflashed twrp for installing cm12.1 getting knox 0x1 (2). From what i understand, there is no way to revert knox to 0x0, isn't it?
If i had a brand new note 3 with lollipop and knox 0x0 could I install custom roms without tripping it? or even get root permissions on the stock rom?
what also keep me confused is: why there are so many alert in the note 3 section on xda about tripping knox while in the s5/s6/note4 sections everything seems to be much easier? can you please explain me?
PS: execuse me if i've had not been so clear but english is not my first language

Nope, the device's virginity is lost, that baby is done, unless you have the Exynos version, where KNOX status could be reset

Thanks for answering. So i got a friend that would like to install the cm12.1 on his knox 0x0 N9005. will he trip it?

Not much idea mate. But I think there is a possibility that he might not trip it, at least I have seen something like that. Obviously the standard method of flashing a ROM via Odin or or from custom recovery will trip it, but I think there's a way to avoid that, not the usual way of course. You might ask to those who have already done it, or in the CM topic itself, if there is one.

Dont try method above - it'll trip knox to 0x1 - it will void warranty.
The more secure way is to download the oldest KitKat ROM and root via TowelRoot and then install any Knox 0x0 ROM e.g. Alexandr or Ambasadii.

My device is already 1x0 knox
My only worried is because the build number in my device isn't the same as the one on cf auto root and I don't want to get my phone bricked

By my knowledge - if you have a G900F you flash F version, What depend is only your android version...If you are using 4.4.2 use the File that i said that is 4.4.2 version Android
If you have a 5.0 Android Rom Flash the 5.0 Root ChainFire.
You Will only brick your smartphone if you flash the version M or A. But even that way probally that it will not brick entirely.
Have no Fear =) The thread that i said to you read have everything on there and you can do it.
