i'm planning on not tripping knox.
1.is it possible to backup stock ROM using stock recovery?
2.OR, will flashing a stock ROM in ODIN trigger knox?
(i'm planning on using towelroot v1.0 to root hopefully knox 0x0 and would like to know how to get back to stock without tripping knox)
3. provided towelroot works (has for some, but not others) and i have root, how do i backup efs without using twrp?

1. No.
2. No.
3. With this APP.
root first with towelroot v1.0, this will leave knox at 0x0
you can!! backup stock (rooted) rom without custom recovery installed. see here
and restore backup using this method here
(using online nandroid backup and nandroid manager
hope this helps someone
EDIT: for me i chose to backup to external sd card, this WASN'T /external_sd but was /storage/extSdCard, which is further down if you scroll

Can i do nandroid backup without mark knox counter?
No you cant
Nandroid needs a custom recovery
And flashing a custom recovery will trip knox

Hi,
Tried to google it, but seems i just can find howtoos on installing custom recovery if i root the phone.
However before i root the phone (since its a work phone) i would like to make a nandroid backup of it just incase it needs service sometime in the future. And therefor have a NON rooted image of it.
So my question is: Is it possible to install a custom recovery to make a nandroid of the S5 without rooting it and voiding the warranty?

First read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313072
Second If I'm sure you will not void your warranty but MAYBE you will have in download mode Knox Flag 0x1 or something like this and Custom binary 1... BUT MAYBE I'M NOT COMPLETELY SURE
Install custom recovery, kernel, ROM etc. sure trip Knox to 0x1. Unfortnately reset doesn´t exist.
Only towelroot doesn´t trip knox.
Is it possible to undo towelroot again without a nandroid?

Hi,
When towelroot came out I installed it on my note 3 so I could get root without tripping knox. Last night I installed safestrap to get a custom rom without tripping knox, but when I installed alliance rom on rom slot 1 it somehow also installed the TWRP recovery and tripped knox. So now that my warranty is void anyway I was thinking about
installing another rom, just the normal way.
My question is if I should I unroot my phone first and root it the root de la vega method or can I just install whatever rom or recovery I want with my current settings/configuration? Also when I boot my phone into download mode I still get the custom OS warning, I don't know if that's a problem or should I press continue there?

Since you have tripped knox, no worry anymore on warranty. If you plan to flash new rom, you are always advised to have clean installation, meant to clean everything, else you will experience unnecessary problem. To backup your current setting, download titanium backup to make your apps and setting backup. You need to spend some time to familiarize with TB. It is very handy to help u restore previous rom settings and apps.
You do not need to unroot your current rom.

@Marcel94 :
I have never use safestrap anyway... so I have no idea how it works actually.
But... a clean installation will be good.
Grab latest firmware nd flash through odin, and go to recovery stock and do factory reset.
Then root with cf-autoroot, flash cwm/twrp.
Then flash ur rom.

Thanks for the advise guys! What do you mean with "go to recovery stock"? Will my recovery be stock again if I flash the latest firmware through odin? Nevermind, I already flashed the stock rom and got stock recovery, thanks!

Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 KOT49H I9505XXUGNK4 running Android 4.4.2
Currently Knox status is 0x0
I have read many threads here on XDA but have not found the answer I'm looking for.
Is it possible to install a custom recovery such as PhilZ recovery and keep Knox at 0x0?
I have read that using chainfires auto-root package will trip knox, so is the only way to root is using TowelRoot?
Is TowelRoot still valid for this version of the firmware KOT49H I9505XXUGNK4?
If TowelRoot works on this firmware, is it correct that I should then remove all knox apps and then install SuperSu from the playstore?
Thanks!

1. No. Custom Recovery will void automatically your warranty: KNOX 0x1.
2. Towelroot don't works with all firmwares. But you can try this other method for root your device without void your warranty: HERE..
3. No. I think only till GNF1.
4. You can remove the bloatware and KNOX app being rooted: HERE. Your device don't gonna be rooted only downloading SuperSU of the playstore. Follow the step 2.

So if any custom recovery will automatically void my warranty (trip knox) how do I do a full backup (nandroid backup) that I can restore later?
I know I could install the online nandroid backup app but I if my phone boot loops, I would not be able to install it.
What do other people do, is everybody not concerned about the knox flag?

1. One way to backup your things without trip knox is:
- Copy all your internal data on your pc (photos, music, videos, important data). Make this one time for month. You can copy every folder for be sure to your pc too ( I do this).
- Make a backup of your EFS/IMEI (very important) keeping it on your pc or External SDCard: HERE. EFS/IMEI is the identification code of your device. You can lose it sometimes only flashing via ODIN a NEW UPDATE.
2. KNOX isn't important in some countries coz maybe you get your device to one service center and they fix your phone anyway. Depend where you live: you will be out of warranty or no, simply. The people that want "play" (apply mods, flash custom roms, custom recoveries) with their devices don't care about KNOX anymore.

I tripped knox 3 months after I bought my device brand new. And many other people have done so.
Somebody said that if you live in the EU and trip knox, this will not void any of your consumer rights.
He also said that: Samsung stated that if you live in the Netherlands, tripping knox will never void your warranty.
I'm using their latest firmware and update. Is it possible to root? I just want to change the resolution of the screen -- everything is so damn huge.
Install a launcher. Also reduce text size.

An easy way to root would be to install TWRP and flash supersu from TWRP. This will also trip the knox counter and change it from 0x0 to 0x1. This is not an issue unless you still have warranty on the phone.
I also recommend updating to the latest doh1 ROM before installing TWRP.

So you have successfully flashed N900W8VLU2DOH1 firmware and rooted it with the latest, which is for 5.0, cf-auto-root from chainfire.eu?
Nope, I used supersu.zip which was from from TWRP.
