I dont think so,your flag will trip only once you update it to knox enabled system(mh1,mh8),then you downgrade it by means of flashing of a knox disabled system like for example(mg5,mga),however if you flash the latest stock fw that you mention,will not flag your KWV to 0x1
Hi all,

Thanks!

Try cutting out the refried beans. Lol, don't think it's possible, flashing a custom recovery in order to install TWRP will trip Knox. Until that's figured out we will have to deal with Knox.

There have been traces where you COULD avoid tripping KNOX on the N900W8 mexican, there have been reports on my thread and N900W8 threads where Mexican users flashed nicely.

Do you know this for sure? I have custom recovery on my Canadian N900W8 and KNOX is 0x0. With custom kernel and custom ROM.
Learn the hardware before you post a definitive answer.

I have successfully rooted my GS4 and I now want to flash custom roms. By flashing them will knox be tripped? If so how do I flash a rom without tripping it?

If you used CF-Auto-Root, you've already tripped the Knox flag. That's mentioned in its thread in the development forum.

Welp nevermind I guess it did get tripped. So does it matter now if I put a custom rom on my sprint gs4?

Not as far as the warranty is concerned. Find something you like and give it a try!

is there any way to install twrp recovery without tripping knox?

I read about root, but can't find infos about knox.
Just use cf auto root and odex, that's it ?
KNOX is Samsungs way of voiding your warranty, when their hardware is at fault, but you have flashed something custom
0x0 = valid
0x1 = void
Soon as you flash anything custom, 0x1 - and it's irreversible
If you don't care, root using CF Auto Root and ODIN
Or TWRP 2.8.7.0 & ODIN, then SuperSU zip from TWRP recovery
Like I say, everything is posted thousands of times over, if you'd checked the thread below this one, you'd have known what KNOX was

So there is no way to root without loosing knox/warranty?
If you have a pre June 2014 KitKat ROM running, you can root using Towelroot app, then upgrade to Lollipop using Flashfire to keep root / not trip KNOX
That's the only other method

So i must do this to be sure i don't trip knox: downgrade to kitkat (and i will not lose knox) and then root and then update to lolipop and my warranty is still there (knox 0x0) ?

Flashing a stock Samsung ROM will not trip KNOX, so you're safe to flash any stock ROM without worrying about KNOX, KNOX is only tripped by flashing custom stuff not signed by Samsung
But to upgrade to Lollipop without losing root or tripping KNOX, you have to use Flashfire after running Towelroot on KK, otherwise you'll lose root, and then have no other options than flashing back to KK or tripping KNOX by using CF Auto Root
