[Q] Problems with root access / KNOX - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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?

- Download Supersu binaries
- Flash that .zip by custom recovery
- Reboot and install Root explorer app or other explorer with root perms and delete this:

Deleting /su/xbin_bind on SuperSu 2.62

I recently re-rooted my phone to install 6.0.1, and installed SuperSu 2.62 thinking it was systemless root. Android pay didn't work, so I re-downloaded Xposed. After reading that you need to delete the /su/xbin_bind folder to get Android Pay to work, I uninstalled Xposed (flashing the uninstaller) as well as Emoji Switcher (forums say it modifies /system) and set out to try it.
However, when I try to delete /su/xbin_bind, it says failed/cannot be deleted. I've tried with both ES File Explorer and Root Explorer. According to SuperSu, the only things left with root permissions are Nova Prime Launcher, Tasker, and AdAway. Any reason I can't seem to delete this file when everyone else can? I also tried temporary disabling SuperSu, but no go.
Edit: I am a moron. I didn't have root permissions for ES File Explorer, so I couldn't delete the folder. Added that and deleted no problem. Leaving my idiocy here in case anyone else runs into this problem.
So to clarify, if we want android pay to work we can't use xposed?

Giving Root Access?
How do you go about giving ES File Explorer root access? Usually that is an automatic question asked.
how important or whats the purpose of /su/xbin_bind ??
if its included on the SU install, and we delete it... im trying to gauge if we are damaging something since it was meant to be there....

Some apps don't ask for root by default, and only do so when you tell them you want to enable the features that require root. ES File Explorer is one such app, and to enable root features you have to open the side menu and toggle the option.
IMO this is the way all apps should be, as I don't always need the root features of every app, as it adds a security risk. I like how BoldBeast Call Recorder does this for example.

It's a compatability mode that was automatically enabled for a while in older SuperSu.zips to allow developer's apps to work until they update their app to work with systemless root. It is now disabled by defult in newer SuperSu.zips, with the user having to explicitly enable it for its use.
Some apps that requires this to work (becuse they haven't updated their app to work with systemless yet) include:
- Secure Settings
- Es File Explorer.
Etc.Etc.
Hope this helps clarify things for you

No root - Knox S-Health Not working

Hi !
My phone was rooted once, I flashed new system via Odin to uproot my phone but knox is not working nor S-Health.

If you ever rooted your phone, the knox e-fuse is blown permanently.
You can check this by going into download mode and you'll see knox status as 0x1 (tripped) instead of 0x0.
There is no way to reset this, you will have to go back to a rooted/custom rom with Masgisk and use Magisk Hide to simulate a knox 0x0 for apps. This may not work forever.
S-Health
You can still use s-health by doing the following which i have done and it works..
Download a root file explorer (such as Root Explorer, Root Browser or ES File Explorer).
Open the root file explorer and go to the /system folder.
Open the file named build.prop in text editor
In the build.prop file look for ro.config.tima=1
Change this line to ro.config.tima=0, simply changing the 1 to a 0
Reboor phone
Run the S-Health app
