Also i know that 4.4 kitkat is not so stable and developers are waiting for a more stable update . I hope someone can guide me . TY
@panospao7 the short answer is: NO, you can't root kit kat without tripping knox!

Unfortunately root de la vega does now not work anymore without tripping the e-fuse thus disabling your warranty. This is because Samsung have caught onto the fact peope were trying to bypass the Knox counter and so patched the bootloader. I must say this is the reason I left Apple all those years ago. When we pay for something we should have to right to modify it as we want. Seems Samsung are following apples ways. My suggestion would be to wait until your warranty has run out. Then root your device !!!!

If u r still on old 4.3 bootloader, yes rudlv will work. But if on newer 4.3 bootloader and up, rudlv won't qork without tripping knox.
And other method if rooting will trip knox for sure.
And even u successfully root ur current device without tripping knox, once u update to kk, u will have to reroot again, and this time... no mercy.
TA is not able to revert knox as well.
And this knox issue, in some countries, the service center still never consider the flag. U have to check it urself.
If u really need root access, then u may forget/ignore ur warranty.
As for me, I need it for work, therefore... hell with knox warranty.

as you properly know tripping knox will void warranty if like me and dont care go for it there are some good roms and mods for the n3
Yeah, I've rooted my Note 3, and got rid of some bloat. I don't want to lose SPEN by flashing a non compatible ROM, so what else can I do to make my device better?
Hi guys,
I got my s4 i9505 2 weeks ago.
After booting I updated to Android 4.4.2. After I did that I did some research on how to root my device and was shocked about what I found out. I understand that there no chance of rooting the phone without flipping Knox tag (thus void warranty). I understand that there is a way (saferoot) if you have a pre 4.4.2 rom which I don't have any more. I read in the Knox Q&A that there is a method called root de la vega which does not flip the Knox tag. But if I understand the thread right you have to flash a rom and that will flip the Knox tag. I am lost here.
Further more I read that Samsung sometimes refuses to repair even hardware damages if the tag is flipped to void warranty.* I paid so much money that I really do not want to take that risk.
I could not find answers to the following questions. Maybe u guys can help me:
Is it true there is no known way to root a s4 with android 4.4.2 without flipping knox voiding warranty?
Is there no way to go back to a previous rom and use saferoot without voiding warranty?
Are developers working on a solution or will I have to decide to void warranty if I want to have root?
What does the Knox 0x0.sh in root de la vega method do ?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks guys !
There is no way the S4 to rooting without the Knox Counter to increase.
There is also no way to get back on Android 4.3 back.
To my knowledge there has not yet made no developer Knox to crack.
But your device i9505 support triangleaway so you can clear your flash counter but for i9500 it doesn't support yet.

Towelroot seems to be an option.
I managed to root my device Knox 0x0 !! Can you guys comment on that ?

yeah, I used towelroot and no knox was triggered !! amazing!
rooting 4.4.2
If you are on stock rom you can downgrade your kernel via odin and use towelroot to root without tripping knox. Then flash back the correct kernel for your room. Knox 0x0 but device status will be custom.
hello guys, im new to this forum.and first time user of note 3, i have couple of questions regarding installing new firmwares and rooting.
i had S3 before this and installing new firmware was not a problem and roooting as well no problem at all, i know when rooting it increases flash count, i want to know what will happen if i root note 3 using auto cf root? i heard about KNOX what will happen if it gets triggered?
anyway to install new stock firmware and root without touching knox or increasing its flash count?
kindly help.
thanks.

Use search next time..
Knox is build in in the last generation of Samsungs phone. if you flash something custom, the Knox warranty will be void.
Which means;
No Warranty, and there is no going back if you voided it. If you don't want this you might want to check the root de la vega.

Yet everything works like it should when the Knox is void. you just don't have warranty.
thread cleaned.
Also this:
Hey there,
My Dad just gave me his almost a year old Note 3 .I have seen various ways of rooting the Int. version of the Note 3 (N900) but all of them Trip this God damn Knox. Are there any possible ways of rooting my phone without tripping Knox ? And should I refrain from rooting with CF-Auto root as my Warranty finishes on 4th May
If your phone is running 4.3 or newer rom, I know of no way to root without tripping Knox.

Note 3 came with 4.4 out of the box and I updated it to 5.0
I don't think there is a way to root without tripping Knox.
Personally, I would wait until the warranty period is over.
Hi all, having issues with my phone still in warranty and want to know if it looks like it when i send back to samsung for repair.
With android 5 i rooted but lost root when android 6 came out and i haven't rooted it at all since, i just did the update via ota from my network provider.
If is warranty void what do they look at and what can i do to change?
Thanks

You simply can't change it .
Once you root your device, the knox switch trips , it cannot be resetted back to 0×0 .
It was possible on note 3 n900 , but definitely not on note 4 (n910g)
If you are in India, don't worry, they dont check the download mode, they just check if there is a problem and fix it.
Why are you worried , if you don't have any problem ?
I rooted mine within a week after purchase .
Reporting via N910G.
my rooted note 4 didnt get ota in fone like it said i have rooted it so i cant get it this way then have to update with kies ... so if u got ota directly in fone then i think u r good to go to service center
Im in australia, im worried that if i send it in for repair and they say no then its marked on the system and it will never get fixed. Yes a remote chance it wont be checked but then it might.
I did see there is a nox reset thats not 100% but sometimes ok.
interesting for anyone else looking.
http://www.mobilecentre.pl/how-to-reset-flash-counter-in-samsung-note-4/
ill check back later today with the outcome.
That article mentions 'triangle-away' which only resets the flash count...nothing to do with Knox.
Even Chainfire thinks Knox is an unresettable eFuse. If you've tripped Knox, it's going to stay tripped no matter what you do.
You cant reset the counter. Sorry
