Hi there! I recently got my Note 3 and i want to root it! I'm always been rooting my devices. But i've never had a Samsung before.. and i read about Triangle Flasher, Odin and the new thing Knox? I want to root my Note 3, what disadvantages do i get by that? It's a European SM-N9005! How can i root it in a safe way? Do i need Knox? And what happens if i trigger the knox limit and the triangle flasher limit?

If you trigger knox, your warranty is void. Nothing else happens. The warranty can't be recovered by unrooting your device again. Therefore it is important to keep Knox untriggered, if you want to be able to use ur warranty in the future. You can root without triggering knox, but you have to be VERY careful when you root. You have to pick a root method that doesn't trigger Knox. And even then you can't install a custom rom, otherwise knox will get triggered. There is a possibility that knox will get figured out and we can do everything without worrying but no one knows for now.
I haven't heard about the triangle flasher limit yet. What is it and what does it do?

If knox is triggered? Yeah, sure. It's just about your warranty.

Chainfire said something about that samsung knox firmware will be unavalable to update.. but knox is in every update?

And warranty depends on carrier and retailer? like hardware damage! And then knox won't be a problem

You are safe to root if you DON'T CARE about your warranty, yes.

There should be an app called Knox somewhere. I'm on a European Note 3, sorry. I know nothing about US carriers.

While it has disabled OTA, it doesn't mean you can't flash the newest software. You will always be able to download the latest firmware and flash it.

I have the official Samsung 4.3 update now. Mk2. I did not know it wasn't rootable with cf autoroot a few months ago and my knox counter is at 0x1. Would my phone brick if I updated to 4.4.2?
Thanks

Simple answer is no it will brick brick. I was on 0x1 mk2 and took the OTA.

Hi !
It's pretty simple, you just have to install Kingo Android Root and follow instructions !
It's not really a tutorial but it's for everyone who are searching for the solution to make it more visible
If Kingo stay on "Connecting to your device" or something else, just restart the process.
Where can I find kingo android root?

I have not rooted my S5 yet and I updated to firmware NI2 and now I want to root it. How do I do this without tripping Knox?

Use Towelroot method.
Will that work even though the kernel is from September?

No
Could I just flash an old kernel, root, then flash back to the NI2 kernel?

Sorry, I'm new to Odin, but can I just flash the boot.img or do I have to convert it to a .tar.md5? And also, will converting it give it a different signature meaning it will trip Knox?

Bootloader is separate from the ROM. So no, you won't lose root.
