[Q] I want to gain root to install Xposed possible without triping Knox?

Hey XDA. I was seeing that Exposed will allow me to install App ops again in 4.4.2 when it goes OTA .
is there a way I can root my note3 without triping knox? I wont install a new rom or anything. ill just keep the stock firmware. as the stock firmware is pretty sorted with app ops.

Firstly what is your firmware?
And secondly have a search round, you'll see different guides and advice.

MJ3 and above will trip knox... A little looking and reading would find this out.
As for KitKat, might be different method to root when that comes out... Might not be able to use Mobile ODIN Pro to upgade as there have been a few problems reported with the latest firmwares...

hey mate.
im android 4.3
baseband is N9005XXUDMJ7
I was asking (probably in a weird way) I thought I read Knox wont trip if you just gain root! it trips Knox when you install a new ROM after you root it.??
So if I gain root, and just keep the same baseband will that be safe? as I really like app opps in 4.3 I have a public transpot timetable app that wants to read my contact list, my call logs, and other crap! If google wont police these permissions, then I'm sooo happy we have ap ops and with 4.2.2 O/S performance improves so much not to mention lots of security fixes. I would hate to disable OTA updates. and I think the stock samsung rom is so sorted. I dont see the point in installing a new O/S (maybe to debloat, which I agree there is a lot of crap, wish you could do a custom install on your stock samsung to say no I dont want all bloat)

Knox will trip when you root because you have MJ7 - no way around it currently. -
As for OTA updates, all you gotta do is flash back to stock again to make the device official.

Hey guys my baseband is MJ7 and the build is UDMK2, does that mean I cannot root without tripping knox? I think so but not sure. So the baseband/modem has the bootloader in it or the build MK2???

Not necessarily 100% true, the baseband, the system and the bootloader are different things, and you CAN have an older bootloader and a newer system, but NOT the other way around.
However when you only install firmware "the Samsung way" those are kept pretty much "in sync", so in your case you can be pretty certain that you have the new bootloader and you can not root without tripping knox
Technically you could find more precise info on the bootloader with:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.bootloader

[Q] n7105 (5! not 0!) how to root and flash and not trip KNOX!?!?

N7105

Simple.
Lots of info out there for n7100 but, how do you root and flash a custom rom and kurnal without triggering the KNOX eFuse on n7105?!?!
Also, does it even matter if I break KNOX? I get that it voids ur warranty (don't care, have none), but does it actually change anything in the software environment?
Thanks in advance

- find your favourite kernel and ROM
- download onto sd card
- follow instructions provided in thread.
what this really comes down to is, flash a new recovery from the default recovery, i recommend philz cwm, reboot into your new recovery, wipe caches for new ROM, install zips, reboot, done!

If you dont care that your warranty might be lost, feel free to follow any method mentioned in the N7105 section. You need to get a custom recovery first, I recommend Philz touch. Once you have custom recovery, sky is the limit for you!

Thanks but
Thanks, but just to be clear, is there a way to do it? Install custom recovery, root, rom, etc. Without tripping knox.
Tried using some methods that are said to work. But n7105 is not supported. Only n7100... There has to be a way
Thanks

[Q] can you flash custom roms with KNOX bootloader

I have a Sprint Galaxy S4. I old one broke and i got a another using my warranty. There was no way they could repair it. it had a rock go through the phone. My old one had the old bootloader and i rooted it, installed CWM bootloader and had custom roms on it. I liked it that way. My new one had the newer Kit Kat OS on it. I was aware of the KNOX counter on the newer version of android. I know i can root it with out tripping the KNOX counter but can you install custom roms on my phone. What if i don't care about tripping the KNOX counter can i still install CWM or Philz recovery? If so, will KNOX let me install custom roms. Basically i want to do what i used to do on my old phone; freely try different recoveries/bootloaders and custom roms, with out KNOX interfering. At the very minimum have root access and install any of the newer custom roms that are out there( particularly the Negalite rom.)

Yes you can. Search next time please. This has been answered before.

Qns on ROMs
Hi Guys,
My SM-9005 kitkat 4.4.2 kernel 3.4.0-1703205 baseband N9005DXUENE3 was rooted with Towelroot and I've checked with rootchecker, it says that I have root access. However in my phone's download page my system status remain as "official" instead of "custom". Is my device rooted properly? or Is this normal?
1) How to install custom recovery compatible with my device?
2) Currently my Knox remain as 0x0, will the process of installing a custom ROM trip Knox by any chance?
3) Are launchers only compatible with stock ROMs and not custom ROMs?
4) Currently what are the top Stock & Custom ROMs compatible with my device? (If I'm focusing more on games,performance, batt life and very low usage of S pen).
Thanks in advance!

Search before you ask for help. All these have been answered many times in this very forum.
Official or custom system status has nothing to do with rooting.
Find custom recovery from development section and flash it with Odin.
Custom ROM does not trip KNOX, but flashing custom recovery and/or kernel will.
What launchers you have in mind? Stock TouchWiz ones might only work on stock(-based) ROMs. Third-party launchers should work on all ROMs, though exceptions can occur.
There is no best ROM. Try different ROMs ones, see yourself what is best. A ROM may be best for one, worst for other.
Also - If you don't care about the journey of Android ROMs, you are not supposed to be here.

Hey mate! That's the advantage of towelroot. You are rooted without tripping knox warranty or changing the status to custom. In other words, you could still get OTA updates when it's available eventhough you're rooted

Hi,
Thanks for your clarification, still a bit confused though, and I don't understand you by "If you don't care about the journey of Android ROMs, you are not supposed to be here". Please don't feel offended as I'm new & total noob to the root & the ROM "world". FYI, I did search & read up the internet for information but I don't understand most of it. Thus I'm seeking help here.
1) In order to install & flash any Custom ROM, one must have custom recovery for back up first right? Since by flashing a custom recovery will trip Knox, then why do so many people (including me) trying so hard to find a way to root our devices without tripping Knox in the first place?
2) Does custom ROMs & kernels comes separately and not together? For example, I can install custom rom A and flashing kernel B from custom rom B or other sources?
3) Are there ways to customize or modify my device e.g Changing boot up animation, overclocking the processor, changing batt logo etc... while rooted and running on original ROM?

[Q] Flashing custom rom

Can you flash any custom roms with mobile ODIN without tripping knox flag after using towelroot, followed by Chainfire's SUPERSU?
Or you can only flash roms which stated (knox 0x0)??

In practical terms, no. A custom ROM is going to mean accepting that your Knox flag increments to 0x1. That is because custom ROMs are invariably packaged as flashable zip files, intended to be installed from a custom recovery session. It's installing a custom recovery that would actually increment Knox.
You could in theory (i.e. I don't see why not, but I haven't tested it), install a custom ROM from the command line of a rooted phone. But you'd have to figure out what goes where.. basically disassemble their install script and make a todo list that you'd have to replicate from the command line.
Pragmatically no one is going to go to that amount of work. So the effective answer is no. If you want to install a custom ROM, then you have to commit to a custom recovery first, which will increment Knox. Most people don't obsess about the Knox bit. But if you are unwilling to change your Knox flag, then you are effectively barred from custom ROMs. Unless you found someone who packaged a custom ROM for just your situation and a view of avoiding a Knox increment anyway.

Ahh i see, thank you very much

Thanks, GalaxyGuy, I've read your thread before opening this post. I thought NeatRom was a custom rom. So NeatRom is basically a custom firmware?
Thanks fffft for the reply. And I actually flashed Phoenix Rom v3 through Mobile ODIN and checking 'wipe data' and 'dalvic cache'. Everything seems to work fine even without a custom revovery. And my knox is (0x1), but I'm quite happy with the custom rom.
I heard that there's a way to make the knox flag reset for Note 3, although if it works on S5, it will be a bonus.

no its a rom but the dev of the neat rom have found a way to flash his rom using mobile odin , that's doesn't mean every rom is able to flash using mobile odin.
the best thing to do is to read the installation guide of the rom to know if you can flash it by odin or you must use a recovery
