Yes.. check flash counter, it should zero.. then check device status from settings.. if its permissive then device is in warranty.. means safe.

What is SE for Android?
Security Enhancements for Android™ (SE for Android) is a project to identify and address critical gaps in the security of Android. Initially, the project is enabling the use of SELinux in Android in order to limit the damage that can be done by flawed or malicious apps and in order to enforce separation guarantees between apps. However, the scope of the project is not limited to SELinux.
SE for Android also refers to the reference implementation produced by the project. The current reference implementation provides a worked example of how to enable and apply SELinux at the lower layers of the Android software stack and provides a working demonstration of the value provided by SELinux in confining various root exploits and application vulnerabilities.
It will tell Permissve even if the device is rooted so u guys dont worry

You cannot on i9500 for now its hidden

No knox counter

OK so I have gotten a n900 with out region lock and apparently doesn't have knox warranty counter
Before I rooted there was no knox counter in bootloader. Then I rooted and installed a custom recovery.
I returned to the bootloader screen expecting to see knox 0x1 but nothing
So I ask is it there and not showing or did I luck out and don't have it

What is Knox and do i need it?

Hi there! I recently got my Note 3 and i want to root it! I'm always been rooting my devices. But i've never had a Samsung before.. and i read about Triangle Flasher, Odin and the new thing Knox? I want to root my Note 3, what disadvantages do i get by that? It's a European SM-N9005! How can i root it in a safe way? Do i need Knox? And what happens if i trigger the knox limit and the triangle flasher limit?

If you trigger knox, your warranty is void. Nothing else happens. The warranty can't be recovered by unrooting your device again. Therefore it is important to keep Knox untriggered, if you want to be able to use ur warranty in the future. You can root without triggering knox, but you have to be VERY careful when you root. You have to pick a root method that doesn't trigger Knox. And even then you can't install a custom rom, otherwise knox will get triggered. There is a possibility that knox will get figured out and we can do everything without worrying but no one knows for now.
I haven't heard about the triangle flasher limit yet. What is it and what does it do?

If knox is triggered? Yeah, sure. It's just about your warranty.

Chainfire said something about that samsung knox firmware will be unavalable to update.. but knox is in every update?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

And warranty depends on carrier and retailer? like hardware damage! And then knox won't be a problem

While it has disabled OTA, it doesn't mean you can't flash the newest software. You will always be able to download the latest firmware and flash it.
