I recently got a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 and I rooted it with Towelroot. I am thinking about maybe trading it in for the HTC One M8 or the Note 3. With Towelroot my boot screen now has the custom logo with the lock, which I don't think they would accept for a trade in. So my question is: Is there a way to unroot my S5 without using SuperSU, because then that would disable Knox, so that everything is back to stock?

Use Odin to flash your original stock Rom which is available from www.sammobile.com or www.samsung-updates.com

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 - 16 GB White.
I also recently found that if I root it and install a custom ROM the knox will activate and I will lose my warranty....
Is there any way I can root it and install a custom ROM without activating the knox and losing the warranty?
I had a HTC Desire... but i'm totally newbie with this phone.

Canadian s4's come with unlocked bootloaders (no need to worry about safestrap). Root and install recovery as you will http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314494
Hey guys, I have a problem with kingroot I downloaded the latest version of the app and tried to run it on my Samsung Galaxy s5 but it always says that root strategy not found but I did some research and the developers of the app say that it should work for all samsung galaxy s5 variants. Mine is Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900H. I am running on androind 4.4.2 Kitkat. Earlier this year I rooted my phone by going to my carrier but I just recently unrooted using the SuperSu method to update my phone (which did not work either). Please help me try to get kingroot to root my phone. Any help would be awesome thanks!
I cannot get my phone rooted at all! The only thing I haven't tried yet is hooking it up to a pc. Can it be done on this phone? TIA!
If you are talking about G901F and you are on stock rom the only way to root it is with Odin a CF root of Chainfire, but it will trip your Knox warranty
Hi guys, i had a galaxy S4 GT9505 before it broke in two in a car accident, and now I bought the galaxy S5 SM-G900M but I was looking for one way to rooting this mobile, and idk what version of TWRP recovery and Xposed I have to use... not even the root version that I have to use.
can someone who had this mobile variant help me?
Mine is 5.0 Lollipop bandbase G900MUBU1BOK3 - SINGLE SIM
I'm on stock, I think is ZTO, because i'm from brazil and I don't mind if I lose Knox, if there's no way to root and Xposed without removing it
