This method did not trip Knox, which is still at 0x0! Not sure if flashing a custom rom or recovery will though.
Too bad I joined the 0x1 bandwagon haha.

It's been a long time since I've played with custom stuff. I rooted my Evo LTE 2 years ago, and haven't been able to afford a new device since.
I'm liking the "stock" experience as I no longer like dealing with bugs. When I get my GS5 tomorrow, can I root and then just use root things like Titanium without bothering to install a custom ROM? I'm sure the answer is yes, but I've never left a phone "stock rooted" before so I'm not sure.

Yep, long as SU is installed on your system, you can do what we're you'd like, even on a stock rom. You can also use the Xposed engine for certain mods, if you don't want a custom.
Jsut depends if the if the modules that you pick work or not.

Flashing a custom recovery/kernel/ROM will trip Knox so IMO it doesn't matter about that. Plus the fact I tripped Knox on the first day!
It Works on non rooted Sprint S5
I love this guy! Geohot always goes the extra mile with his exploits. 1 click and done. No PC necessary. I've used this on several previously "unrootable" ATT phones. Freaking awesome!!!
Is the the great man from the ps3 scene?
All we need now is Wifi Calling and the phone is perfect with Knox at 0x0
That and decent signal strength! I have been waiting for a non knox trip root because I so want to return this POS to sprint. Now with root I may keep it!!!

Used towelroot method on my friend's S4, which was on a locked down 4.4.2, to see how it worked. Simple install of two apks and you're rooted with SuperSU; couldn't be any simpler. Kudos to that guy.
Not the only way to root the Verizon S4, but by far the simplest.
Now if we could find a way to de-knox without tripping it in the first place.

With Root (and a locked bootloader) you can do TONS of stuff.
- Install and use TiBu
- Change framework for unlocking many neat customizations
- Remove/disable bloatware
- Allow for wifi tethering
- Disable ads
- Change startup/shutdown/system sounds
- Change bootup animations
- etc..
Just because you have a locked bootloader does not mean you have no use for root.

You can install the Xposed Framework and add a multitude of various mods to your setup. I used it when waiting for the original boot loader work around. Its quite nice actually. The amount of options have only expanded since that time. Check it out.

There are several threads about it here on XDA. It's the Samsung screen notice that you've changed their OS. Sort of like the old triangle on the S2 when you trip the rom-flash counter.
I was able to eliminate the unlocked lock symbol using Chainfire's Triangle away (might be on XDA, but I bought it on Play).
Read the caveats and decide if you want to use it. . . worked for me on my i337 running SHOstock2.1!
Good Luck!

I just picked up an s4 from att today. Ive been playing with it for about an hour and I definitely want to root the phone and remove all of the bloatware. Ive read online that there is no way to fully remove all traces of rooting this phone when needed for warranty reasons. Ive also read that att will still honor the warranty even if the phone is rooted. Does anyone have any info on this? Im experiencing a little lag here and there with the phone and am honestly not as jazzed about it as I thought I would be. If I root the phone will I still be able to switch for another phone if I choose to within 14 days and will att honor my warranty if I keep the phone and something goes wrong with it? Im in the US.
Well I had the s4 from release day,and have both root and a custom ROM.a couple weeks ago my WiFi decided it didn't wanna live no more so I flashed stock ROM through Odin and WiFi was still not working so I took my phone into the warranty center he flashed stock ROM again and it still didn't work so he just swapped it out for a new phone right there....
Long story short just unroot and flash stock ROM and you should be good to go

I asked ATT customer service if rooting voided the warranty. I was told rooting does not void the warranty unless rooting caused the damage. The example the rep gave me was: If you root and phone overheats as a result of rooting, then they wouldn't cover that.

Thanks for all of the replies! They're very helpful. How can I tell if my s4 has the mf3 firmware and what exactly is the difference between mf3 and the other?
Just wanted to add that the last three digits for my baseband are mdl so im assuming I dont have the mf3 software as of yet. I have a software update available. Should I update or just root the phone as it is now?

If you want to be able to root AND flash ROMs, do not update to MF3. There is no method for loading a custom recovery for phones that have updated to MF3.
There is a thread in the General section about rooting an MF3 phone, but at this point you won't be able to flash a ROM.

cf auto root works on rogers, but you'll trip the knox flag. if you dont use active sync (exchange) then you may not care. can still root and run custom recoveries on rogers.

Knox is the security precaution behind Samsung now. Its just basically saying you rooted your phone. Does your phone come with a locked bootloader or are you unlocked by default?

Well think, there's always a chance to brick any device. I thought I bricked my phone I was stuck in a massive bootloop a few weeks ago. lol. But as long as you follow instructions you should be okay Just read, read, and read the instructions over and over, are you on Verizon? If so you have a locked bootloader. Nobody has found a way to bypass the bootloader like the G2 has with the loki flash. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. But for right now, the only thing that the Note 3 has is safestrap. Which someone correct me if I'm wrong again. Before you do anything, do you care about voiding the warranty??
Would also suggest to go to settings and make sure re-activation lock is set to "OFF" before flashing...
Just trip the knox counter and install custom ROM then you can use your NOTE 3 at its full potential. I would also suggest to root using cf-autoroot via Odin Mode. Worked every time for me. Good luck on rooting.

It's not really advisable to tell people to "Just trip the knox counter and install custom ROM" when they have just got the device and have a lot to read up on still. - Especially when the first question they ask is "Can I root my Note 3?"
It's easier regardless of your opinon or anyone else's to let the OP know the facts, the risks and the issues that may come and let them decide. :good:

Ha ha ha! You are funny man... Did you just say Verizon and root in the same sentence? Lol I can guarantee you that Verizon has this bad boy LOCKED down just like AT&T will too. I made the switch to T-Mobile and while the coverage is not as good, I can root and rom ALL of my devices that I paid for.
is there an OS X version? we never get love

I did the same for the very same reason. Verizon's coverage was amazing, but everything was completely locked down, so I'm now on t mobile.
The T-Mobile Galaxy S6 Edge will be the first Galaxy phone i've owned. I've heard about KNOX but is/has there ever been a root method for Galaxy devices that doesn't trip knox? And is it easy or possible to untrip knox?

It will probably be 6 or more months before Verizon variant is rooted,.
Note 4 is still not rooted.
@owenbeals, I noticed that you don't mention anything about the consequences of tripping Knox. There are noobs watching your stuff who aren't even sure what rooting is, much less what tripping Knox would do. I would hate to see one of them find out that they have voided their warranty the hard way on such an expensive device. IMO, it would a good idea to mention what tripping Knox does in the OP in red letters to warn people who otherwise wouldn't know.

Good idea I'll add that tidbit when I get home

So maybe the Vietnam ones t mobile have are having all the faults
Will there be a way to unroot (I recall the Superuser app having an option) or will we need a recovery? It's been about a year since I had an android device and rooted an android device so I don't know if the that process got any better.
You can unroot in SuperSU app
