Of course it is a HUGE progress, and the root is ready for some days in General thread. And, as it causes most of attraction, it is on first page of this section.

wat ?
No, if towelroot doesnt work on your device, im adraid there's no other method to root without tripping knox
Hi,
Please don't flame. If the other user has been rude for you, please just report him instead of starting a verbal war. Also, never speak like that again, after all XDA is not a mess because of them .
Regarding your issue, I'm sorry, but afaik the only non tripping method out there for now is towelroot, but still doesn't support your model. If I recall correctly there was another method, not sure if still works... I believe you can find it in the Galaxy s4 Help Thread OP.

So my brand new s4 has just arrived, i was all hyped about rooting it and installing roms to it until i found about this knox warranty void thing, i know i should be searching for data and avoid posting a new thread but to make it short, i tried to search the forums but i found nothing but theories, nothing solid. So just wondering if there is anyway to root my s4 i9500 without voiding my warranty. ? Thanks.
Please try to avoid answers such as google it or similar cause i already did. Thanks !

There are 2 threads in the i9505 forums that have everything you could ever want to know. One is all about Knox in general an dhow it works and what it does. (It's even a sticky, man.) The other is titles something like "Knox and warranty". I assure you it's all there.
there is no saferoot method for 4.4.2 you are out of luck
if you want to root you will trip knox

Oh okay, that was the type of answer i was expected, simple and straight to the point. Guess ill be staying on pure stock then, thanks!
Hello, does anybody know if we are close to a potential knox friendly root release for 4.4.2? I know that they pached 4.3 kernel and saferoot will not work on kitkat anymore..but because of this patch, will it be possible to root again while keeping knox 0x0? Or just say goodbye to saferoot and void our waranties?
I am asking because my GT-I9505 is starting to lag because of bloats and i would like to root it, am i waiting for a ''safe root'' that actually never going to be released? if yes im about to use cf autoroot right now.
feel free to express your opinion:good:
The unique way for root the phone is using CF- autoroot at this moment. This method void ur warranty, sorry :highfive:

I already knew that cf root voids warranty. All i ask is if a ''saferoot'' method is now an impossible scenario due to the kernel patch....Or it's not? Any dev here to give an answer? I am sure there are many people waiting anxiously...

I know everything you say, I just ask if it is impossible for ''saferoot'' or ''root de la vega'' or any similar root that is be able to bypass knox without tripping it in the near future, not now!....i know that these root methods do NOT work in the present, all i ask is for the near future, that is why i asked for a dev to give us a more specialized answer.
Thank you for your answer but please understand what i say

Of curse in near future the 4.4.2 ROMs will be rooted without tripping the KNOX and warranty flag.
I can assure you that ETA is around 24 months, so what you need to do is to sit and wait.

Do you want serious approach?
Be my guest. Current circumstances are:
1. Samsung announced about in near future 4.4.3 release for G4;
2. sometime ago S5 was released.
1+2=less and less devs have interest in work with G4 4.4.2, therefore it is very unlikely that it will be any breakthrough, if something universal (like common trick, let's say for Note 3+G4) would emerge, Even Samsung is not approaching the 4.4.2 seriously (known GLONASS bug, problems with data connections, drains etc are remaining unfixed).
Conclusion: because of the above, you can sit and wait, as I stated in previous post, having hope that something may appear.
I want to root my S5. The guide you have sticky is outdated and is missing many download links such as the TAR and USB Drivers. How do I do it?

Instead of the snarky comments most people will make to search better, I'll actually be helpful!
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537
Just used it myself on my T-mobile flavored S5 2 days ago - no problems at all.
You will trip your knox warranty flag though, and as of now there is no way to un-do it, and there may never be one either.
Have fun!

There's a reason people say to search...so we don't get these pointless threads that could easily be avoided with just a google search.
OP: His link is the right link, but please please please just search next time. :good:
Hello and respects, got 2 doubts, if i Just root my i9500, the flash counter or the knox, know it? And the second, why theres so little development for this phone?, only 2 pages..... Thanxs in advance.
Your flash counter or Knox won't trip if you use towelroot method.. Any other method will trip as far as I know.. And there is probably little development for that device because Samsung did not manufacture as many units as the other models so not many devs got their hands on one

Sorry about that, I thought it may or may not but wasn't sure.. I don't think there is another way to root it without tripping anything at the moment then
Hi guys! I have my s4 since last year June and I think the time is come for him to get some new features. To do so, I thought to get root permissions and unlock the bootloader in order to install a new custom rom. But I'm overly scared by Knox counter.
I didn't get well the story: if I get permission, I'll trip the counter to 1, invalidating the warranty, right? Is there any way to unlock bootloader and get permissions without tripping knox? Is it worth doing? I'm trying to do a sort of "revamp" of my phone, and maybe getting it faster and more stable than stock roms!
Thank you in advance!
P.S: My S4 is h3g (italy) brandizied. I don't know if it's important! Sorry for my english!

Hi!
Which model do you have?
For i9505 take a look at this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2852310
And when your current firmware is NG8 or higher you can root with this method

No.
You will have to try some out yourself. XDA prohibits the discussion of "best rom" or "rom recommendations" for several reasons.
It's rude to developers.
They usually devolve into an argument between ROM 1 Fanboys and ROM 2 Fanboys.
And most importantly, only you can make a determination about what roms are best for the way you use your phone. We wouldn't dare deprive you of the opportunity learn about flashing roms and seeing the differences between them. It's a growth experience! You'll learn more in a week than we could teach you by talking about ROMs in a year.
We recommend you read through the development threads and read up on what ROMs are available. Picka f ew and try each one out for a couple days. See what features you want and which ones you hate. Then narrow down what ROM you like based on that.

Oh, ok, didn't know that! Last question: I've read in some italian forums that towelroot doesn't work anymore without tripping knox counter because samsung fixed it. Is it true or with some of the latest upgrades Towelroot began to work again?
