Alright I had the Galaxy S1 S3 and S4. I jumped ship to the Moto X before the 4.3 update which brought Knox tripping to the mix. I have read extensively on it but I still have one question. If you use CF root method you trip knox and void warranty.. I know there is not a knox re setter, But can you at least flash stock with odin and take OTA'S?

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.

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.
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.
I have an galaxy S5 plus (G901f) running android 5.0.2 on G901FXXU1BOC4. I searched all over the forum without finding answer.
I want to know if it's easier to root this phone on android 5.0.2 or on 6.0?
I would like to know if there is a method to root without loosing knox waranty or at least reinstall knox waranty on both versions?
Hi!
Root always trigger KNOX counter
Do you want still root your phone?
I really want to root, I always rooted all my phones but for example If it triggers knox. Then somehow I have a problem with the phone and want to send it to the warranty, can I flash a stock rom and get knox back to 0x0?
I meant is there a way to recover knox 0x0 status on a rooted phone?
I have a doubt, i am new to samsung device, and know very less about knox, by rooting will it trip knox counter and void warranty? and is there a way to untrip it and claim the warranty or (unroot the device without any issue by flashing the stock fw via odin) .... (like with sony devices)? can someone explain it to me? Thanks
Rooting may trip or not knox depending the metod you use.Once tripped you cannot revert it,it is forever because you burn a fuse on the mainboard.Flashing a new recovery like TWRP will ALWAYS trip knox.
Rooting it may or may not trip KNOX. Considering that you are posting this question here in the A Series forum, I presume you have one of those devices. I don't think there's any method for our devices to root it without tripping KNOX. Flashing a custom recovery will trip KNOX, as said previously. The only other way is to use CF-Auto-Root, which I haven't actually tried, but I do think that it also trips it.
Which device are you using?
KNOX is like a fuse - once it breaks, there's not any way to reset it. At least not in these devices. Personally, I tripped it (on purpose) the day I got my phone.
Thanks for your replies I am using A5 2016..
I think there is no other way to root this device without triping it?

Check the developer forum for Note 3, there are some hints how to revert KNOX on Exynos devices.
