[Q] TowelRoot for already rooted phone? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hy.
The towelroot work with the NE8 ROM?
If I already use a CF-AutoRoot, what it means that my KNOX is 0x1, this app can change the counter back to 0x0?

1. It should work in lot of devices (not depending of the stock rom installed).
2. Towelroot was created for have rooted device without void the warranty (KNOX: 0x1). It's stupid use Towelroot if you have KNOX actived in bootloader. You can use CF-AutoRoot without worries.
3. Towelroot don't change the counter back to 0x0.

once knox is 0x1, no towelroot nor anything can bring it back to 0x0 until now

4.3 Root and Warranty Void Query

I know that 4.3 cannot be rooted as of know.
I just have a confusion here
I am on 4.2.2. I have already rooted it using CF root method. So as per the speculations my warranty is already Void as i have triggered the Hidden Count Meter,
Now .. My confusion is if i upgrade to 4.3 would my KNOX show as 1 or 0 ?

First off check your KNOX WARRANTY VOID in download mode.......If you have the KNOX bootloader there will be 2 extra lines refering to KNOX........One will refer to the kernel, the other KNOX WARRANTY VOID......If KNOX WARRANTY VOID is 0x1 then this cannot be reset so upgrading to 4.3 will not make any difference to this. Once you have triggered it to 0x1 there is (at the moment) no way back to 0x0!

By flashing a KNOX enabled bootloader,,,,,,,4.2 has them also!
XXUDMGG was the first one....
The letters changed from XXUB... to XXUD...
XXUB... - BOOTLOADER KNOX FREE
XXUD... - NEW KNOX BOOTLOADER with 0x0 / 0x1
What is you current baseband? BTW........4.3 can be rooted (but KNOX warranty will be void 0x1)

GT I9500 did not have KNOX bootloader for 4.2.2
I rooted my I9505 and then un-rooted back to stock firmware. My KNOX counter is 0x0 and I haven't done anything special when un-rooting. Just used ODIN and a stock firmware

Mkf to ml1 0x0

Hello, I'm on mkf rooted with safe root, my knox counter is 0x0. Can i update to ml1 without loose root and without sign knox counter?

If you mean upgrade to the stock rom ml1 you won't trip anything. If you want to keep your root privilleges i suggest you don't upgrade because you will lose it. If you want to lose root you should use triangleaway by chainfire to reset the root counter or read how to do it in the thread of the method you used to root your phone.
Then you are free to upgrade your rom with no worries of tripping knox.
Knox will be tripped with downgrade and flashing unofficial firmware.
Even if i flash stock ml1 with mobile odin i will loose root? And knox counter will be ticked?

If you'll flash genuine, full, untouched, unrooted stock - KNOX shall remain 0x0.
Root will be lost, obviously, and as soon as you'd use traditional rooting -you wil trigger the KNOX to 0x1.
So far, for 4.3 ROMs, the only method to root it without KNOX triggering is kingo root, however its use may rise some doubts about privacy and personal data access...
I confirm i updated from mkf to ml1 with mobile odin, knox counter still 0x0 and still rooted

i confirm it work even with 4.4.2 stock rom. With this rom i have even permissive kernel and wanam xposed work for official status so ota updates are working . Knox still 0x0

TowelRoot for SM-G900F?

Hy.
I just heard a towel root app, which garantee that the KNOX counter still 0x0.
Is it working with the new S5 especially SM-G900F (NE2)?
And what if I already use a CF-AutoRoot, what it means that my KNOX is 0x1. This app can change the counter back to 0x0?

It works on ANE2 (I did it).
Nothing can change you Knox flag back to 0 if you trip it.

can i install twrp recovery without tripping knox?

i rooted my device using towelroot. the knox counter still shows 0x0.
is there any way to install twrp recovery without tripping knox?
cheers experts
edit: (so that i can backup my stock rom) yes, i know i can reflash stock rom without tripping knox, but want to try the non-knox tripping instructions to flash custom rom, having a complete backup before i do
would it be possible to use this app to install twrp without tripping knox?
Hi,
Installing anything "Custom" , will trip the knox counter

Updating my phone.

Hello guys i really need your help.
Im using BOD3 Firmware version,there are a lot of new versions,i was rooted knox 0x1 (2),and then i unrooted through SuperSu.How should i update my phone,via Kies,SmartSwitch,or Odin?I wouldnt prefer odin cause it flashes stock rom and my flashcounter will be knox0x1(3) Right?Is it safe now to update via Kies?
Your KNOX is already tripped, forget about it now and use ODIN, ODIN with Stock ROM will NOT change anything KNOX related, only custom
0x0 = Not tripped
0x1 - Tripped
The counter means nothing for warranty
