[Q] [HELP] root Knox - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi i have a samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9505 xxuemj7 with android 4.3 and knox, how can i root and install CWM?

If your root and flash recovery note you will loose KNOX capabilities and trigger the KNOX counter and you can not downgrade to any lower firmware version after that.
If your happy with the above:
Flash CF-Root as PDA in Odin:

Then download any recovery you want to use, and flash again with Odin. Most here recommend TWRP or Philz Recovery.

How did you root your tab without increasing the counter?
Anyway you can flash roms only using any recovery. Odin is used to flash stock roms and the cwm recovery. Even customs roms can be flashed in the recovery, it does not increase the binary counter. No flashing kernel using recovery and mobile odin do not increase binary counter.
follow this thread to roo : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791193
i guess flashing custom rom using cwm recovery will increase the binary counter
i tried to flash a boot.img (cm9 kernel) using mobile odin but it did not recognize it ,i dont know where i am doing wrong
Flashing with cwm will never increase binary counter. If that happened it would completely defeat the purpose of mobile odin. Binary counter only increases if some thing is flashed through the download mode. To answer the second question put the boot.img in kernel option. I guess it should work then. Thank you very much for the info on rooting. Does it work on 4.0.4 or is the loop hole patched.
sorry that rooting method is for 4.0.3 only ,that loop is fixed in 4.0.4
thank you for the info

If it will increase the binary counter you can reset it because now we have Triangle Away support .

Remember after flashing Root/custom your warranty is now void.
Flash a Custom recovery iE: Philz ,CWM, TWRP and download a Su-Binary and put it in your sdcard ,and boot into recovery mode. and flash SuperSU Binary .Done

Maybe jfltexx doesn't support 4.4.2 android KitKat!
you must to flash the super su update zip for the new 4.4.2 Roms my friend
If you have installed the CF autoroot you must to flash philz Revovery or CWM

I cannot view root directory or open it???!!! something is missing in CF Root "jfltexx"

LMFAO. That directory is *always* empty and has nothing to do with being rooted or not :good:

Download this and flash it through CWM (or any custom recovery you're using) After that, update the app from the play store. (And update the binary if requested to.)
Smack that Thanks button if I helped!
KitKat came in on my OmniROM, running on my Note 2.

[Q] What did root? CWM, phliZ or CM ROM?

Hi:
I have flashed a ROM stock 4 files and file. Pit by Odin, and leave it as factory. I did not root. After I installed CWM recovery for Odin and then Philz Recovery. Finally I flashed the latest nightly for recovery of CM. I checked after it was root. I Do not flash CF-root or anything.
What did root? CWM, phliZ or CM ROM?
Nowhere clarify this, and you would not need CF-root or Saferoot to flash Cyanogenmod.
Thanks in advance, forgive my English.
Any custom rom is rooted.

Are you sure?
Many guides explained previously cyanogenmod must install a custom recovery and rooting.
Does this mean you do not need to root?
Another question on this ...
I don't have Knox on my phone, but if I did, if I flash CM integrated with root, it would go up to 0x1?
I don't think you need root to flash. You can just flash a recovery and then flash the rom you want.
ok, thanks, but goes up knox to 0x1 if flash CM as asked in post # 3.
Custom roms never include a bootloader. So no, you don't get knox from installing custom roms.
That I know, but I did not ask what you answer.
My question is if I flash CM in particular the "KNOX WARRANTY VOID" is 0x1.
Thanks anyway.
Philz recovery has root access and allowed you to flash cm, which has root access too by default

All "custom recovery" have root access, but that doesn't mean that root the operating system . TCWM and TWRP flash CM too.
On the question of knox, anyone know?

Yes, knox will be 0x1. It will be set to 0x1 when you flash the custom recovery.

Need TWRP and SuperSU beta 2.71 for rooting Marshmallow correctly
You've already tripped KNOX by flashing CF AR, TWRP is a very powerful, and necessary recovery when you're doing things like rooting
Flash TWRP 3.0.0.0 and then that SuperSU zip
