You need root and yes custom recovery/kernel will trip knox. Even rooting will trip knox if your firmware is a bit dated.

Yes I know dt rooting will trip KNOX flag bt was not sure about recovery...thnx bro

If already root will TWRP trip KNOX?

If I already have Root access, and managed to not trip KNOX: installing TWRP will or will not trip KNOX?
(without installing any custom ROM, I'd like to have TWRP for saving backups only)

it will because you will be flashing a partition of your phone.

I'm wondering if anybody knows if flashing the TWRP recovery with FlashFire will trip knox. Seeing as you don't use the bootloader to flash the partition.

It does not care at all. You still boot it with the bootloader and you are set.

[Q] Galaxy s4 official kitkat 4.4.2 knox-friendly root method

Hi,
I would like to know if there is any known way at the moment to get a rooted kitkat 4.4.2 firmware without tripping knox. I'm momentarily running MKE 4.3, German csc I think. I'm aware of saferoot for this firmware, but I would like to know if there's something like it for official kitkat, or if it is possible to root my 4.3 and then upgrade via mobile odin and inject root via everroot everroot without tripping knox. If not I'll just update via OTA and root via another method but if it's possible I'd like to keep knox for now

No, uptil now there is no such method developed. Check on Kingo root website whether they ve updated to root 4.4.2 firmware.

Oké, Thanks anyway
I don't really trust kingoroot as I thought that it had spyware installed, just as vroot, but then I heard about saferoot and I I was hoping I could keep root via mobile odin, but too bad. I'll just just root via cf-root then

Not any spywarez but many of them reported that they lost their IMEI number.If you are on kitkat ,wait for stability updates n then root. Hit thnx if helpd.

Towelroot. by geohot
Does not trip the knox counter..but don't expect to use custom recoveries. It is a simple root only.

Thanks! I read about it in the featured articles but I wasn't sure it would work or not. I was just planning to use the root to clean the ROM up a bit to free up some system memory and RAM and make some apps system apps, better backups and fiddle a bit with my storage, and maybe using some modules, do you know if using Xposed trips knox?

Xposed doesn't... but I would be weary of modules that perform bootloader or deep system changes
Titanium Backup.. and use backup app and then remove/disable etc
Just be careful... if the knox counter is v important to you.

It's not that important to me, I just don't want to trip it if I don't have to, if I need to trip it for something I really want to do I don't have a problem with it , it's not like use knox thanks you very much

Actually KNOX is very important for warranty issues. If you dont have warranty then I wouldnt worry about it. If you DO have warranty then do not mess with KNOX-tripping root methods.

You posted in the wrong section again.Care to read the the following POST
As much as I know, it shouldn't trip KNOX

Knox and recovery

Hi guys!
A fast one: if i just install a recovery (not root) in my Note 4 N910F ,
does it void the Knox counter anyway?
My point is: will i be able to flah some stuff without root, and do full backups?

Custom recovery will trip knox. I am 95% sure of it.

Your going to trip knox but that shouldnt matter if your flashing recovery as you understand the risks of flashing/ backups etc
