【Q】Will flashing of custom ROM trigger knox after root?

Hi,
i am seeing that currently people are recommending kingo root or vroot, that was claimed that this won't trigger knox flag at all.
After rooting. if i were to flash any custom ROM, will this trigger knox flag?
Thank!

Yes it will. Flashing a custom Recovery and/or a Rom will trip Knox. Kingo and vroot are not full roots. The phone is rooted enough to allow you to customize the stock rom and for applications that require root to work. If you want to flash custom roms, you might as well use the CF Auto Root method and get a full root. That will trip knox but so will what you want to do.

I'm sure it will be trip by KNOX. Keep calm until developer launch triangle away for Note 3 dude.

N9005DBTDMJ4 N9005XXUDMJ7 is out - upgrading questions

I am currently on dbt mj3 knox 0x0 rdlv and want to up to mdj4.
How to do this without loosing root and tripping knox? (Have urdlv on my pc)
Will i keep preferences of my root apps (frozen in TB, wanam exposed preferences, greenified app)? Will the root apps stay?
Anything to do before i start the upgrade (and maybe reroot progress)?
Sorry about those many questions, but its my first proper andoid device and i dont want to mess anything up
Thanks in advance

If you update you will lose root so you will have to root again all your rooted apps settings will stay all you will need to do is update exposed framework

Not 100% on this but I believe RDLV will trip KNOX 0x1 on MJ6 or higher, so I wouldn't update if I were you.
You can try this though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47091411&postcount=62&nocache=1&z=5607935257721692

No, you don't trip knox with MJ6/MJ7 if you use URDLV and my solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47091411&postcount=62&nocache=1&z=5607935257721692

Hi i updated using the usual urdlv files and falshed modem and no-hlos afterwards
Now no cam no wifi binary customm
What can i do to fix it? Can binary be reset? Can i create the tar.md5 (with cygwin right?) And flash it over my device to solve it? Would this wipe my phone?
EDIT: root obtained (greenify somehow seems to work without superSU) and knox 0x0, also got sys staus back to official

Don't think you can your going to have to root again

You can download the firmware from sammobile and flash it via mobile odin. You will keep root. And knox counter 0x0 as well. Forget ota.

So the ota won't stop asking me to update till I update though Odin

Knox counter will stay 0x0 only with the old bootloader

And, I believe, Mobile ODIN won't flash the new bootloader so you can go back to a lower version of firmware.
Also, Mobile ODIN will retain root so you don't need to reroot and potentially/will trigger warranty void...

Yes,but the most important is : having old bootloader before using mobile odin

Lost root after installing latest OTA

Hi all. Have N9005 with MJ7 XME unit. Rooted with de LA Vega since MJ1.
I accidentally installed a 4.51MB update via OTA and have lost my root access.
Question, how can I get root access back without tripping Knox and/or downgrading to MJ1.
Appreciate any assistance relevant to the problem I have.
Thanks.

How can you OTA update if your phone has been rooted.
BTW I affraid that you can not downgrade to MJ1 as well as get root without tripping Knox atm.

you can't root without trip knox.
afaik ota is possible if he using wanam to set fake status to official.

At this point, can I still run de la vega? On an MJ7 image I downloaded?

The ONLY safe way to upgrade was with MOP... Since you did it the Samsung way you are now stuck with the updated bootloader and no way to root without tripping Knox...
How you didn't know this is beyond me since it's all over the forum....

Thanks all for the replies. My loss then for not thronging the threads.

If you are on 4.4.2 MJ4 or newer you cannot root without KNOX beeing tripped. Period It will remain 0x1 wether you flash once or 50 times.

Where i live the N comes after the M alfabeticaly so you will get flagged.
URDLV http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498850 :
What devices are supported?
Just about every Samsung device with KNOX! (Excluding Exynos based devices)
Samsung has caught on and has started patching bootloaders, you can still root, but you will trip KNOX.
If you are running MJ4, MJ7, MK1, MK2 or higher you can still root, but you will trip KNOX!

Is there is any way to make my 3g dongol over otg work without rooting

But all in all, what you are asking is posted on xda and on the web a million times already.
I don't get it why do people even respond to such questions.
My advice, don't even try rooting and flashing.
