Hi guys, i would like to root my phone without tripping Knox. What are my options? Also, after i do root, can i then upgrade to KitKat without loosing root?
Build number: JSS15J.N9005XXUDMJ7
Kernel Version:3.4.0-2019540
Baseband version:N9005XXUDMJ7
Android version: 4.3
I'm new to this myself but I was just told that once you root nothing you can do about knox kicking in! But like I say I'm a newbie hope that helps

I haven't rooted yet. There are ways to do it without tripping knox so long as you arent using kitkat (which i am not). However, i was first told to use kingo and it told me that it was going to use the ODIN method that will void my warranty so i didnt do it yet. :/
**** I'm on kit kat can I down grade?

LOL... If the JB you are using is higher than MJ1 then you will trip Knox no matter what method you use.... This has been stated SOOOOO many times I can't believe you guys didn't see it...
You can root KK using cf-autoroot, just make sure it is the latest, and PC ODIN... And no, you can't go back to a JB firmware from KK...
OK thanks :thumbup:

If your Bootloader version > MJ3, you can't root without tripping Knox.
You can find your Bootloader version by using my app Phone INFO ★Samsung★ (download link in my signature).
Here you can find many other useful information.
P.S: Please be noted that Bootloader version may not always be the same as PDA version.

You can root and then upgrade but you'll have to root again so may as well upgrade and then root to save a step.
Only way to root Mj7 is cf-autoroot. You need the old version to root your current firmware and the latest version to root 4.4.2.

Kingo contains malware. Best not to use it.

Hi there,
I managed to perform root on this build yesterday, I followed the Chainfire tool / exploit, but it only worked after I downloaded SuperSU from the market (latest pro version) before it was giving a "no su binary present"
I have knox 0x01 I havent tried to downgrade it yet...
cheers

You can´t downgrade to a stock knox disabled firmware and if you root/flash a custom rom, you knox counter will be set to 0x1.

If you update you will lose root so you will have to root again all your rooted apps settings will stay all you will need to do is update exposed framework

Not 100% on this but I believe RDLV will trip KNOX 0x1 on MJ6 or higher, so I wouldn't update if I were you.

Hi i updated using the usual urdlv files and falshed modem and no-hlos afterwards
Now no cam no wifi binary customm
What can i do to fix it? Can binary be reset? Can i create the tar.md5 (with cygwin right?) And flash it over my device to solve it? Would this wipe my phone?

Yes you can root it but you will trip knox to 0x1 from 0x0 meaning you lose warranty in some countries, the UK for certain

I havent rooted yet amd im still on 4.3. Which is the best method to root without tripping? I just tried Kingo and it gave me a prompt about voiding warranty so i didnt go ahead. However, i was told that kingo does it fine with 4.3 and doesn't trip knox. So now i'm left conused :/
Yeah I was gonna try kings but read a bit 1st on there Facebook page they say kit kat 4.4.2 not supported! So gonna have to read up to do it manually fc-auto root looks OK but I need to know before I dive in and go ahead with it!

Just to clarify, you can unroot but you can't reset Knox warranty void to 0x0...
If you are on KK then make sure you use the LATEST cf-autoroot or you will get a soft brick... If you use ODIN 3.09 you put the cf-autoroot file in AP, if you use any lower then put the file in PDA...
Cheers don't suppose you got the fc-auto root link not sure if you can put up a link in here cheers

From what people say. There is an e-fuse for the knox switch. Once you Flash, the switch goes from 0x0 to 0x1. The e-fuse apparently cannot be reset.
But there has been instances where rooting has not toggled the knox switch

I havent tried it yet, but it looks like you can use towelroot to get root (to at least get xposed framework and debloat your phone) without tripping knox, but you wont be able to install a custom rom without tripping knox
Sadly, no dice. I tried it several times. It went through the motions and reboot, but never did anything to my knowledge. Installed rootchecker and it confirmed that root was not installed oh well.
