Hi guys,
I'm getting my new 9505 one Wednesday and coming from an S2 I9100, I was reading a lot on those forums regarding Knox.
So just wanna ask if I read it correctly, as far as I'm not concerned of getting the 0x1 flag and that my warranty is now void, I can flash every rom and kernel from the I9505 development forum, is that right?
Or do I need to be aware of something, every answer and help is appreciated, thanks in advance

I decided a few months to buy the Galaxy S5 and now wonder if I should start doing experiments with my S4 with root, Knox and custom ROMs
My phone is currently an official firmware .4.4.2
What do you think is it worth to ignore warranty, etc.

This may not be that helpful but, when all is said and done it is entirely up to you what you do with your phone. I don't think anyone can advise in this situation. Its your choice.

Thanks for your response
So my brand new s4 has just arrived, i was all hyped about rooting it and installing roms to it until i found about this knox warranty void thing, i know i should be searching for data and avoid posting a new thread but to make it short, i tried to search the forums but i found nothing but theories, nothing solid. So just wondering if there is anyway to root my s4 i9500 without voiding my warranty. ? Thanks.
Please try to avoid answers such as google it or similar cause i already did. Thanks !

There are 2 threads in the i9505 forums that have everything you could ever want to know. One is all about Knox in general an dhow it works and what it does. (It's even a sticky, man.) The other is titles something like "Knox and warranty". I assure you it's all there.
there is no saferoot method for 4.4.2 you are out of luck
if you want to root you will trip knox

Oh okay, that was the type of answer i was expected, simple and straight to the point. Guess ill be staying on pure stock then, thanks!
Hi guys! I have my s4 since last year June and I think the time is come for him to get some new features. To do so, I thought to get root permissions and unlock the bootloader in order to install a new custom rom. But I'm overly scared by Knox counter.
I didn't get well the story: if I get permission, I'll trip the counter to 1, invalidating the warranty, right? Is there any way to unlock bootloader and get permissions without tripping knox? Is it worth doing? I'm trying to do a sort of "revamp" of my phone, and maybe getting it faster and more stable than stock roms!
Thank you in advance!
P.S: My S4 is h3g (italy) brandizied. I don't know if it's important! Sorry for my english!

Hi!
Which model do you have?
For i9505 take a look at this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2852310
And when your current firmware is NG8 or higher you can root with this method

No.
You will have to try some out yourself. XDA prohibits the discussion of "best rom" or "rom recommendations" for several reasons.
It's rude to developers.
They usually devolve into an argument between ROM 1 Fanboys and ROM 2 Fanboys.
And most importantly, only you can make a determination about what roms are best for the way you use your phone. We wouldn't dare deprive you of the opportunity learn about flashing roms and seeing the differences between them. It's a growth experience! You'll learn more in a week than we could teach you by talking about ROMs in a year.
We recommend you read through the development threads and read up on what ROMs are available. Picka f ew and try each one out for a couple days. See what features you want and which ones you hate. Then narrow down what ROM you like based on that.

Oh, ok, didn't know that! Last question: I've read in some italian forums that towelroot doesn't work anymore without tripping knox counter because samsung fixed it. Is it true or with some of the latest upgrades Towelroot began to work again?

Hello everyone, recently i bought a new phone and it has been quite a while since i read something about ROMs and updates, so i didnt know anything about Knox security bull****, so i upgraded my phone to 4.4.2 and since then it has been horrible to get my phone rooted and barely do anything ... So now i cant flash any CM on my phone either via windows, odin or zip ... So im here to ask for advice or even help, and in addition to all this crap, my Knox flag is at 0x1 ... I really dont care about warranty, so i just want to get any stable CM going on my phone.
Thanks in advance and hope anyone can help me out with this.
Sorry, no CM if the phone is AT&T S4. Read the first few posts for all the info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221

Hey Guys,
I'm trying to get the CM12 klte ROM of the S5 on my S5 Active but I'm having some trouble at one of the steps. Maybe someone can help?
I've followed this guide
wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_klte
I'm got all the way up to step 10 of installing a custom recovery but when I try and boot to recovery using UP VOL/HOME/POWER, it says...
could not do normal boot
odin mode
Product name: SM G870W
Current Binary: custom
System Reset: official
Reactivation Lock (kk): off
knox warranty void: 0x1 (4)
...
It's as if the custom recovery ROM doesn't work or was never loaded although all previous steps indicated that it did.
Any ideas?
Dammmnn will anyone fricking help here ?
Helping s5 active users doesn't hurt tall know.
I having this same issue too again
Being rude and impatient will not get you help any faster, you arent entitled to anything so just be patient and wait for an answer.

Sure. Questions about sm-g870w phones or s5 active in general even worst Canadian one. Are never answered we can't get help and we can't get our own section. So asking me to wait!!!! Yeah I have too but instead of asking me to just wait read all threads.
And see if there's any help. Oh and I swear I've been waiting. S6 is out. Lollipop is out. And since we can't get our own section there's no way to accualy get help. Specific to us.
