Hello! Just wanted to confirm something. Once I root with VROOT, my knox warranty will not be voided, right? And as for unrooting, once I unroot with SuperSU, will my System Status in ODIN Download Mode be reset to Official & won't trigger the knox warranty to 0x1?

I have 4.3 and the knox warranty flag is set to 0x1 (void warranty). I wanted to ask if and how can I Root my device, since cf-auto-root didn't work for me and triggered knox notifications that prevented me from opening the SuperSU application.
If I flash clockworkmod with odin will I trigger the Knox Warranty Void flag? I have root with VROOT method and I still have 0x0.
Is there any method to put clockworkmod without trigger this flag?
yes.
I went into download mode and there was nothing about knox 0x0 or 0x1. It does however, say "system status: custom" and when I rebooted, it says "custom" on the samsung flash with an unlocked lock. I followed the instructions from rootjunky and I seem to have root, but as for knox and my warranty, I'm not sure if I screwed up big time.
Edit: Okay, so I did a bit more searching and I guess "system status: custom" doesn't have anything to do with knox so I'm okay? Also, what caused this? towelroot, supersu, rootchecker? I still would like to know I can tell if I tripped knox though.

I believe it will say Knox Warranty Status Void or Warranty Bit 0x1, either way you will know if you tripped it in download mode. Towelroot dose not trip knox. As for custom status having root and having a modified system will cause this. It will return to Official when you Odin back to stock with no root.

Awesome! Thanks for the reply!
hi,
my dad got i9515 4.4.2 with root and 0x0 and i really don't know how to update to 5.0.1 so the knox won't be 0x1 because of present time root the phone has.
kies update will only update the files but what about that root that is already on it? will it notice it and make 0x1 without root on 5.0.1?
what do odin? does flashing with odin is like fresh system so i just flash and it's 0x0 without root?
So many questions.
I'm not positive, but I don't believe you can use Kies on a rooted S4. It will pick up on the firmware status of "Custom" and not allow the update. OTA might work, but it may also check the firmware status, see that it's set to "Custom", and fail. Thus you should use Odin to do the update. If you do it through Odin you will not trip the Knox flag. You will however lose root and will need to root the device after the upgrade. Look through the forums as I'm not 100% sure on this, but to the best of my knowledge, there is no way to root Android 5.0.1 without tripping the Knox flag. I believe this is because the methods used to root without tripping the Knox flag no longer function on Android 5.0.1.
I want to root my edge +
Can i root it without worry about the knox?
Is there a way to disable the knox?
Can you put here a link of how to do a root? Is there an app that will do it? Im affraid of demaging the device..

Hi there,
Follow this guide to the letter http://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-...-to-rooting-flashing-custom-recovery-t3200324
You WILL TRIP KNOX and, currently, there is no workaround. Even if you flash a stock ROM with Odin, KNOX Warranty void WILL BE = 1.
You will loose samsung pay and most apps that check for root, like snapchat.
