[Q] How to flash Custom Recovery with Knox in 0x0? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi:
I have flashed a ROM Stock with Knox in 0x0 and root. How could install a Custom Recovery like CWM or Philz without up to 0x1?
Maybe ... Could with Mobile Odin Pro? or is there any safe method to install a Custom Recovery like SafeRoot method for root?
Thanks in advance.

You can't.

No. Only with android 4.2.2 was possible flash a custom recovery and custom roms without trip the KNOX.

Just flash. All custom ROMs have root.
Btw, you need a custom recovery to flash a ROM (like TWRP, CWM)

Not necessarily. You can flash a custom recovery through Odin and not root it at all and then just install a already rooted ROM.

CWM is always reliable. Some prefer TWRP. I'm using Philz Touch. It depends on your preferences. CWM is the most stable.

do you really need a custom recovery to flash a custom kernel? i think you can flash a custom kernel using mobile odin or odin. please correct me if i am wrong.
thanks
Kernels are signed by samsung. Flashing a custom kernel, regardless of method, will trip knox.

search "towel root"
by far the easiest and it wont trip the knox counter as long as you don't add a custom recovery

oooops my bad
Easiest way to root IMHO would be to flash a custom recovery and flash supersu.zip from recovery. Unfortunately, flashing a custom recovery will trip the knox counter. Flashing a custom recovery will also allow you to make nandroid backups and flash custom ROMs.
If there is no warranty on the phone, tripping the knox counter shouldn't cause any issues. I have the n900w8 with a tripped counter and haven't encountered any issues with flashing and using stock or custom ROMs.
Thanks, warranty is no issue.

Custom Recovery With KNOX 0 - I am rooted

Hello,
I would like to have a custom rom on my s5 and I want my knox 0. Im rooted on lollipop 5.0. It's possible? I need to put a custom recovery and if I do that, my knox will be at 1. Someone can tell how to install custom recovery with always my knox 0.
Thank you.
You can't other than safestrap which is not working on 5, you can use flashfire but that isn't really a recovery except for the flashing zips part.

Won't a custom rom install it's own recovery?......that being the case, even if you didn't start out by flashing a standalone custom recovery, knox is still going to be tripped when you flash the custom rom.......

Not 100% but I don't think custom rom trips lnox its recovery(and unless you use towelroot then by proxy root) that trips it, I might be wrong though.

I was under the impression / had heard that flashing any 'unsigned' (non Samsung, unofficial) software would trip knox........

Not all too sure myself, I know with custom recoveries its when you boot in to the custom recovery, next to no idea about things like CM and stuff though, that said I think they require flashing through a custom recovery so like I said above with root, your probably trip it by proxy from needing the recovery.

If you keep stock kernel and recovery and only flash custom rom via mobile odin/flash fire the knox won't be tripped. I had my S5 like that for a while before I decided to flash custom recovery.

That is something I've not heard of before.....
Good to know
Which roms are compatible with a stock kernel?
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
This is the one I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-neatrom-v1-t2828562
This one should work as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/galaxy-project-galaxy-s5-t3138583
Basically every rom that doesn't include custom kernel should work.

Does installing custom rom require root?

I know this might be a stupid question to some of you, but actually I can't find out if installing a custom rom require root? I have mine S7edge installed TWRP recovery, but I wonder if you need root access to install custom rom?
I think I found out that you don't need root access to flash a custom rom, was hoping that I didn't trip my Knox when installing (Recovery TWRP). TIL recovery flashing will also trip your Knox!

Root is not needed to flash a custom ROM. Flashing TWRP tripped knox though.
