[Q] Problems with root access / KNOX

Hello,
So I rooted, or I at least think I did, my I9505. I have installed cwm und the superSU-Update.zip.
Then when I am normally running my device and want to use apps with root access, KNOX denies it. When I start SuperSU, the following message appears: "There is no SuperSU-file installed and SuperSU can't install it. This is a problem. If you switched to Android 4.3, you have to manually root your device"
I have Android 4.3.
So how do I get my root access running?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Best regards, Simon

- I dont think u are rooted by that method
- I dont know if u void ur warranty still. You have here a method for root ur phone without void the warranty: HERE
- For stop knox (when ur phone will be rooted) u only have to install one app (root explorer for ex.) and delete this files:
KNOX in System/App folder:
ContainerAgent.apk
KNOXAgent.apk
ContainerEventsRelayManager.apk
KLMSAgent.apk
KnoxAttestationAgent.apk
KNOXStore.apk
KNOXStub.apk
SPDClient.apk
KNOX in DATA/DATA folder:
com.sec.knox.containeragent
com.sec.knox.eventsmanager
com.sec.enterprise.knox.attestation
com.sec.knox.app.container
com.sec.knox.seandroid
com.sec.knox.store
com.samsung.klmsagent
More KNOX remains:
Folder = Data/clipboard/knox
Folder = system/containers
Folder = system/etc/secure_storage/com.sec.knox.store
Lib = libknoxdrawglfunction.so
File = system/tima_measurement_info ---- TIMA is a Trust-Zone of KNOX

Thanks so far. I now flashed the superSU again and now I have root access, somewhat strange because I am sure I installed the superSU before. I have root access with es file Explorer, but I cannot delete any system apk :/

Install Root Checker for see if u are rooted. Good luck :highfive:

Actually I followed every step, except rooting without voiding the warranty. I took your hint that my device probably doesn't have root access und flashed the superSU again, that gave me root (now verified by root checker). Then I tried deleting the files you told me, but that I could not do. I asked if es file Explorer is ok too, because I don't want to spend 4€ when the es explorer works too and there is just another problem why I cannot delete files from my phone storage.
I am glad for every tip you give me

Es file Explorer is ok too but maybe u have to give root perms in superSU manually. I use Root Explorer normally coz it takes own root perms :highfive:

I checked again and it has root, but I discovered it is a read only system. I really had that different in mind with my old rooted phone, I thought it worked back then...
Then every Problem is solved for me, thanks alot Joku

[Q] Root i9505 ML1 4.3 without void KNOX

Hi there. Do you know any way of rooting galaxy s4 i9505 Ml1 4.3 without voiding Knox? I tried with vroot and safe root but my phone says that it has a protection. Do you know if it works with ML6 or ML9? Thanks in advance

Protection? Maybe is a KNOX message telling u -> Error: An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device?

I'm also looking for an option to root an I9505 with ML1 without triggering the Knox flag and tried saferoot. But after the batch sends the files to the device, this is what appears:
Code:
[*] Starting rooting program.
ro.build.product=jflte
ro.build.id=JSS15J
[B]setsockopt() failed: Bad address.
this device is not supported.
kallsyms_addresses search failed.[/B]
[*] Removing temporary files...
[*] Rebooting... Please wait.
[*] Waiting for device to re-appear...
[*] Checking if su is still there
[B]Something has deleted su - looking for the backup copy
The backup is gone too - can't recover![/B]
In bold, the errors. Despite the concerning message at the end, the phone reboots normally.
When I boot the phone in download mode, the Knox kernel lock and Knox warranty void flags are still 0x0. I do see something that catches my attention: WRITE PROTECTION: Enabled. Since I'm a first-time rooter, I don't know if that's what keeping saferoot to work.
This thread on the forum says that saferoot will only work up to MKF, which makes me think this is the culprit. Is there any way to downgrade to MKF? Or any other way to root with ML1 without triggering Knox?
Thanks for any insight.

I don't have root access and i think that i can't delete that files without having root access. That security error stops the root files store into the phone.. any others ideas?

Will this reset the Knox flag to 0x0? I read elsewhere that once changed to 0x1, it would be impossible to reset it.

Root went gone by itself?

I'm facing a problem guys.
The problem so far; I rooted my phone at android 4.2.2 after updating to 4.3 I obviously was unrooted. After that I rooted it again with CF-Autoroot.
It was successfully rooted (SuperSU/TB/Adaway), but as I tried to open some other apps which need root access it said I need root first? So I opened a app named cheatdroid; I got a message that my busybox was not installed or old. As soon as I opened SuperSU it said I don't have installed SU Binary.(But it was!) I just re-rooted my device but still got the same thing.. Anybody who can help me?

This seems Knox Security apps blocks SuperSU
- Download Supersu binaries
- Flash that .zip by custom recovery
- Reboot and install Root explorer app or other explorer with root perms and delete this:

Questions about knox 0x1 and how to improve it

Hey guys, sorry my bad english end lets go to the problem.
I FLASHED the 4.4.2 by odim and in the sequence I rooted my phone. In the time what I use the root privileges, show on screen a message by supersu tell me about knox and ask me to click in "yes" to desactivate the knox. I CLICKED. Now my knox is in 0x1. And I cant get install apps of playstore or apks by third parties. The only way is to install by aptoid because it installs with root privileges. NO ROOT, NO INSTALLATION NOW :/
So my questions is:
Can I reflash the same rom by odim for fix this problems whit apps?
my phone doesnt is with CWM I dont no why, because the file what I used to get root, install cwm together. But I tryed put in cwm and it go into the recovery stock.
Can i try install a custom recovery to after get some custom rom ?
Heeeeeeelp ME

1. Dont mix things. Knox app isnt the same of KNOX in Download Mode.
2. SuperSU didnt ask for KNOX. Knox noticed SUPERSU telling u: KNOX app blocked SUPERSU.
3. Knox 0x1 appeared when u rooted ur phone. Nothing new.
4. I dont think ROOT and CWM comes together. But anyway you can flash the custom recovery u wish apart.
*SOLUTIONS:
- Use THIS for root ur i9505.
- Delete or freeze KNOX app in ur phone:

Ooooh, thanks very much.
But you think that is better than flash again the rom with odim ?
Because if I fix the issue about the installation of apps, I can return my phone to original and after I can use one normally whithout root.
Can I do this ? Have problem ?

(PROBLEM SOLVED) Galaxy S4 keeps turning off after update to 4.4.2

PROBLEM SOLVED.
Hello all,
After upgrading my girlfriends rooted Samsung galaxy s4 to firmware 4.4.2 the following problems started to show:
1. The phone keeps rebooting automatically after some period of time. A red led indicator shows for about a minute and then the phone restarts.
2. Letters stop appearing sometimes after choosing them on the Samsung keyboard. This problem is then followed by the automatic reboot described in problem 1.
Phone information:
Model: GT-19505 LTE
Carrier: Vodafone Netherlands
OS: Android 4.4.2.
Baseband: I9505XXUGNE8
The phone was rooted on Android 4.3 through the CF Autoroot method. These problems didn't exist then. Before upgrading I did the following actions:
1. I used triangle away to reset the flashcounter.
2. I downloaded the Dutch Vodafone stockrom from sammobile.
3. I used pc Odin to flash the stockrom.
4. I rooted the phone again using pc Odin and the guide to rooting the I9505XXUGNE8 version.
Is there anything I forgot to do or did completely wrong?
Many thanks in advance.
Cubaine

did you try a factory reset after installing the new rom with odin?
either from the accounts/backup section or choose format/factory reset from recovery.
i always prefer to do this both before and after installing any new rom to help clear out any bugs.

Thank you Gloris.
I've done a FDR and I've reinstalled all the applications on the phone. The problem with the letters disappearing seems to be gone now.
The automatic reboot on the other hand is still an issue. However, it doesn't happen as often as it did before (it was rebooting every two minutes before). Is anyone else having these problems with 4.4.2?

Dial *#1234# and attach what appears

Joku1981 this action opens supersu and shows me the applications I have given permission through supersu. Also another screen appears with this information:
AP: I9505XXUGNE8

Is this what you mean by attaching what appears?

By the way I monitored the phone in safe mode for about thirty minutes and it happened again so I don't think this issue is app related.
