[Q] (future) CF-Auto-Root vs. Towelroot - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering if anyone would prefer one over the other IFF CF ends up making a Auto-Root for the S5/Active.

The exploit towelroot uses to gain root access is already patched (fixed), so towelroot won't last as long as CF-Auto-Root does.
Despite that most (if not all) will favor towelroot for not triggering KNOX (knox on wood).

Good points! I'm curious how towelroot accomplished not tripping it

【Q】Will flashing of custom ROM trigger knox after root?

Hi,
i am seeing that currently people are recommending kingo root or vroot, that was claimed that this won't trigger knox flag at all.
After rooting. if i were to flash any custom ROM, will this trigger knox flag?
Thank!

Yes it will. Flashing a custom Recovery and/or a Rom will trip Knox. Kingo and vroot are not full roots. The phone is rooted enough to allow you to customize the stock rom and for applications that require root to work. If you want to flash custom roms, you might as well use the CF Auto Root method and get a full root. That will trip knox but so will what you want to do.
I'm sure it will be trip by KNOX. Keep calm until developer launch triangle away for Note 3 dude.

Easiest root method?

Hi
Iam starting to hate my note for every day.
I need to root to install ad block. No joy with all anoying ads over all. Even I use ad block plus without root it makes sites slow.
And oh my god to remove Samsung boatware( suggestions to methods or safe apps to remove?)
Devise updated to newest firmware. I guess I have no chance to root without tripping Knox? But I really don't care anymore. Any root methods that I can use without damaging the phone? As long as it works.
I appreciate any advice^^
No more Samsung Devises for me. At least never at full price.

Depends what your latest firmware is on your device as to IF you trip KNOX, tbh if you aren't fussed about a tripped KNOX and don't care (much like me and lots of others) then just use CF-AutoRoot simplest method now.
It is mj7

If MJ7 no RDLV(KNOX safe) method (unless bootloader is MJ1-3 or so) -- So CF-AutoRoot it'll have to be. Well that's what I am aware of at least. Unless someone else chimes in with an alternative(?)

I rooted my n9005 running 4.3 a few days a go. I just flashed cf root by odin.
I have heard it trips knox and warranty is voided.

Yes you can root it but you will trip knox to 0x1 from 0x0 meaning you lose warranty in some countries, the UK for certain
OK thanks for the reply s done that also mean I can no longer unroot after knox has be tripped!

I havent rooted yet amd im still on 4.3. Which is the best method to root without tripping? I just tried Kingo and it gave me a prompt about voiding warranty so i didnt go ahead. However, i was told that kingo does it fine with 4.3 and doesn't trip knox. So now i'm left conused :/
Yeah I was gonna try kings but read a bit 1st on there Facebook page they say kit kat 4.4.2 not supported! So gonna have to read up to do it manually fc-auto root looks OK but I need to know before I dive in and go ahead with it!

Just to clarify, you can unroot but you can't reset Knox warranty void to 0x0...
If you are on KK then make sure you use the LATEST cf-autoroot or you will get a soft brick... If you use ODIN 3.09 you put the cf-autoroot file in AP, if you use any lower then put the file in PDA...
Cheers don't suppose you got the fc-auto root link not sure if you can put up a link in here cheers

It will trip. No safe method in kitkat. At least yet. Dunno future

From what people say. There is an e-fuse for the knox switch. Once you Flash, the switch goes from 0x0 to 0x1. The e-fuse apparently cannot be reset.
But there has been instances where rooting has not toggled the knox switch

On newer bootloader, if I m not wrong mj3 nd above on n9005, confirm it will trip. No possibilities for not triggering knox 0x1.
I have tried on several devices.
