I am tempted to try, my Knox is not trapped yet and I am running 4.3 mk1. anyone tested already? I will go cm sooner or later but cm is not quite ready yet. if super su survives the ota and I don't have to factory reset it would be great

If you want to install the OTA, you may have to use Wanam Xposed to reset the Custom Binary to Official and then you would be able to install it.
However, SuperSU MAY not survive the Survival Mode, and may or may not trip KNOX.

with wanam installed, the phone is willing to download the OTA, but the actual install failed. maybe it detected the system modification, maybe the system is too dirty to do a upgrade without factory reset. i donno.
with wanam removed, the phone is not willing to start the OTA at all.
maybe I will try mobile odin and install bootloader in another step, as I see people are having good result in sprint note 3. or I will try a factory reset before trying OTA with wanam installed, again.
will post my result here.

Hold up. Since you have the N9005, no matter what you do you will trip your KNOX when you're on 4.4.
If you want the OTA no matter what, download the stock firmware from SamMobile and flash it in Odin. Root will be removed and you can start to use OTAs any time you want.

Hello.
I rooted my S5 when I first got it simply to use the volume boost mod. A week ago I decided to unroot so I can OTA update, ready for when major updates to the firmware on the phone are released. Anyway. An updated firmware became available so I tried to OTA update (not really expecting it to work) and got the "Modified firmware such and such" error come up. Obviously, rooting the S5 is different from the S3 due to the addition of Knox to the latest firmware, so I've got a few questions to ask.
Is there any way at the moment to reset Knox?
Does Knox stop you from being able to get OTA updates, even if you use TriangleAway to reset the flash counter?
Also. I checked today in Kies and it let me update my firmware but I didn't proceed with it because I'm worried about it bricking my device. I actually unrooted using SuperSU and checked the status of root afterwards using a Root Checker, which said I'm not rooted. Is it safe then to use Kies to install updates to the firmware instead of using OTA updates or will that brick my device?

- Triangle Away doesn`t work with the S5 and neither us it possible to reset the KNOX flag
- Unroot with the Towelroot or superSU app (wich ever you have installed)
- Flash a stock rom (firmware)
- Data factory reset in recovery after the flash
- Done and now you can update with Kies/OTA.
A week ago, my OTA update failed. Have Towelroot and supersu. No other modifications. Failure message said I should use Kies since my phone is modified in an unauthorized way. In order to update and either retain Towelroot through it, OR unroot through supersu, update either OTA or with Kies and then reroot with Towelroot, would the following work:
I have a SM-G900F.
1) I unroot with supersu. I remove Titanium and supersu.
2) I try to update with either an OTA approach or Kies.
3) If update is successful, I reroot with Towelroot and reinstall supersu and Titanium.
Would this work? Would removing root with supersu make me be able to do an OTA update or is Kies inevitable? And after a possible successful update, will Towelrooting still work, or does the most recent Android update (I currently am still 4.2.2) render Towelroot unusable after updating.
Any help much appreciated.

Dude forget about OTA`s when you are rooted, install Mobile Odin Pro and just flash the new rom with MOP and you`ll keep root. Don`t use a wipe or it will fail.

Sorry, but that's just waay too advanced for me. I don't know what flashing a rom means, I just want the most recent update that came out (at least for Europe) a week ago and be able to have root, that's it. Does unrooting, updating to new version with Kies, then rerooting with Towelroot work? Please can somebody just tell me if that can do it or how to do it? I know I'm a noob, sorry, just need real advice.
please.....somebody put me out of my misery. help?

Just download the stock firmware and flash with Kies or Odin. It's not too complex.
To obtain the latest firmware for your device, open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > 'Firmware Browser' menu.
my samsung galaxy s5 , is rooted but I would like to upgrade, I can't do the OTA upgrade so I should proceed with Kies , I would like to know whether I have to unroot my phone(how do I do that? via kies?)or just directly proceed with the upgrade,furthermore, my phone was a sumsung galaxy s5 tmobile but I managed to unlock it in order to use it with other carriers, if I install the original firmware and then upgrade to the newest version, can I still use it with other carriers or will return locked? thank you
So, a long time ago I towelrooted my gs5 on 4.4.2 and just left it like that (no custom rom , kernel, or bootloader). I recently upgraded to an N6 and would like to sell the old phone now. I'm trying to return to stock, but my craptop died and I'm not able to Odin a stock .tar file. I've already used 'full unroot' in SU, but I'm still showing 'Custom' status. I can't OTA and I can't find a stock rom to flash from the factory recovery, so are there any other options I'm missing?
Thanks in advance!
Just factory reset it from stock recovery

Thanks for the reply. I actually tried factory resetting through the settings menu and the stock recovery. Both leave me with a 'custom' status and unable to OTA.
I'd suggest using ODIN to flash a stock ROM from sammobile dot com, but with it being Verizon, it's likely got a locked bootloader, and I'm not sure if you can flash anything with ODIN when the bootloader is locked, worth a try though, it'll just fail with an AUTH! if it doesn't work

Hi i want to root Stock 6.0.1 mm and keep stock recovery. So do we have to flash TWRP in order to root stock 6.0.1 mm? Or just flashing the cf-root file via odin alone will give root access? Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
CF-root via odin will root your device and you'll keep stock recovery.
I wonder what's the point of keeping stock recovery by the way

Thanks, i tend to use stock samsung rom always, but just like root to remove crap, titanium backup and some apps that require root permissions. Btw what options on odin do we tick when flashing the cf-root file?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Hmm, I guess if you never need to flash anything then keeping the original could be OK.
I'd say trwp is still useful to perform backup (entire rom at a time).
Well normally, you don't need to tick any options (the useful ones are ticked already).
So, only auto reboot and F.Reset time should be ticked.

When i had the S4 a few years ago, i had clockworkmod recovery which was great and i was familiar with, but was not ever a fan of twrp even then, so decided to stay stock with the s5 but thanks for the help mate.

Hi mate, just rooted my s5 via odin and cf-root file. However every time I reboot the phone, i get a "Set warranty bit" message in yellow at the top of the screen, I did do a wipe cache after I rooted. How do i remove that message? thanks
To my knowledge, you can't get rid of this message which was tripped by the rooting process.
But it doesn't make any difference anyway so you might as well leave it!
Then, you can run the root to the Galaxy S5 SM-G900F Android 6.0.1 and Kernel of May 31, 2016 without triggering this blessed knox 0x1?
I still have not figured out if it is feasible, and if you can do as you progress? Towelroot works?

do i need to unlock the boooader before or after?
or not at all?
obviously the first file that i need to flash (twrp) is the custom recovery.
do i unlock the bootloader before this?
[Sorted out] I did not root, however my s7 edge does not allow me to use s health claiming root after reinstalat stock via odin. Any solution for that?
Did you trip the Knox counter? If you did, there's no way back
The knox was changed, but I wonder how could that be that it was a stock rom?

Once the boot loader has been modified in any way. \it will trip knox.

why did you have reinstall stock /
if you have reinstall stock that means something was done to your phone, which caused your phone to think knox is tripped.
So what happened that you ned to reflash your phone ?
System crashes with crashes
Are you the original owner of this phone?
If you try to root it or install anything non-Samsung, it will trip knox and there is no turning back.
Flashing Samsung ROMs via Odin won't trip knox....
I'm his first owner. I saw in a post that it is possible to continue using s health if dowgrade to marshmallow and then upgrade via OTA to 7.0. Do you know if it's possible?

I think you just have to add or modify a line in system/build.prop and it will work. For that, you have to be rooted.
