If you have a KNOX bootloader you can have a custom ROM or not?
I know that it will trip the KNOX flag but can you still use a custom ROM.
Thanks
yeah. the only difference is that it voids your warranty even if you unroot.
Yes you can have a custom ROM.

Were would be the best place to start?
I have a knox bootloader which is probly already tripped.
I attempted to flash clockworkmod and got greeted with a Samsung unauthorized software and it wouldn't work.
My phone is fine right now with a stock recovery so what custom recovery do you use or how do you get around this?
I'm use to nexus devices.
Edit: I used CF Auto Root and now i have a 0x1 warranty status. Now it appears clockworkmod is working.
Thanks for your help
Anyone tried a custom recovery (or rom) after rooting with towelroot without tripping knox?
We should have an unlocked bootloader, will it make some differences?
Custom recovery/kernel will trip knox even with towelroot.
Confirmed here. G900W8. Tripped KNOX with TWRP.
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, i have note 3 sm n9005 or something and rooted my phone for some stupid reason, its still on stock the only thing that i think happened was i have supersu, i paniced and factory reset, now supersu has a error thing with something to do with binary settings or something. All i want to do it fully reset my phone, if its any help im british with EE... does flashing supersu trip knox counter? Am i actually rooted for if i were to flash stock? Will that trip it? Iv knly had phone few months and im scared... if i flash stock can i then update legally coz i cant update because the device is modified? I used odin... can someone help please, i know nothing and yes, i should look into what im doing more before hand. Can you explain everything and what to do please? Every little thing, please and without tripping knox and as if it was out the box new. Please
Firstly, flashing SuperSU trips KNOX. In the first place, to install SuperSU you need a custom recovery which would ALSO trip KNOX. Flashing back to stock unroots your phone too.
If you are convinced that you have not tripped KNOX, just re flash your phone back to stock with ODIN.

Flashing stock will get rid of SuperSU and root but you cannot reset KNOX. It is permanently 0x1 and will always be.

What about the fact i factory reset? Is it still rooted to flash stock? And doesnt it have to be a unrooted stocked rather than flashing rooted stock? And where do i got stock and do i need to unzip files and stuff?

Reboot in download mode I. E. Volume down+home+power, check the knox counter if it's 0x1 then it has already been tripped and you have been set free ?? and if it's 0x0 you are still locked in a cage.
Report back with what you see.

I know i have done something coz when i want to update it says this device has been modified. But i havent flashed any roms so surely knox should be 0x0 and flashing stock keeps it 0x0 doesnt it?

Yes, if your Knox is still 0x0, flashing stock keeps it 0x0.
Use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app to check for the Knox Warranty Void status (in the GENERAL INFO section).
I have rooted my S4 without tripping KNOX. If I would flash a custom recovery using flashify and use said recovery to install a custom ROM, would it trip KNOX?
More info
It says that the binary is unofficial, but knox is still 0x0
