Selinux and Knox - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone
Can we switch Selinux to permissive without triggering knox
And will flashing a kernal through mobileOdin trigger Knox ?
Thanks in advance

It has been done, but as it is closely tied to the kernel you shouldn't count on being able to do so. Normally a custom kernel goes hand in hand with permissive rights.
A custom kernel will still trip Knox when the signature is checked during boot.
.

if it has been done and Knox wasn't tripped this means that the signature is still stock
Which means we only need a kernal dump from the device in which it was done
Am I wrong ?

You're wrong because you're making an incorrect assumption.
It wasn't a flawed kernel with a valid signature, but rather an exploit that bypassed the signature check altogether. An exploit that is no longer possible.

If you are on 4.4.2 MJ4 or newer you cannot root without KNOX beeing tripped. Period It will remain 0x1 wether you flash once or 50 times.

Where i live the N comes after the M alfabeticaly so you will get flagged.
URDLV http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498850 :
What devices are supported?
Just about every Samsung device with KNOX! (Excluding Exynos based devices)
Samsung has caught on and has started patching bootloaders, you can still root, but you will trip KNOX.
If you are running MJ4, MJ7, MK1, MK2 or higher you can still root, but you will trip KNOX!
Is there is any way to make my 3g dongol over otg work without rooting

But all in all, what you are asking is posted on xda and on the web a million times already.
I don't get it why do people even respond to such questions.
My advice, don't even try rooting and flashing.

Quick question

If the efuse/flash counter is tripped will that disable or render the encryption on the bootloader is less for a custom recovery to be installed on the nc1 and kit kat builds?

No. Even with tripped Knox, you still can't install custom bootloader other than safestrap.
Knox-dependent security app functions won't work with Knox fuse tripped, otherwise, users wouldn't notice a difference, other than the triangle shown at boot (removable with triangle-away app).

How do I remove Custom System Status and Root and Stay on Knox 0x0?

As the title says I would like to revert back to Official Status, remove root and stay on Knox 0x0
I have 4.3 version, Knox 0x0, and I have reset to factory defaults and I do not have root now.
As knox is 0×0 it means you are not rooted.Just flash official firmware will solve your status.flash it wia odin.

No. False. Knox flag DOES NOT mean you're not rooted if it's 0x0.
The only times this is true is if root using a method that rewrites your recovery, such as CF-Auto-Root.
The only things that trip knox are unsigned recoveries (ANY custom recovery) and custom kernels (ANY custom kernel).

Ohh..tnx for correcting me.!But I think the problem is status of device. As knox is 0×0 there is no problem.knox is not triggered. Flashing a stock firmware changes the status custom to official. Please correct me if I am understanding wrong!

Correct. Flashing a full stock firmware AFTER a factory reset and wipe should return to official status, officially.

[Q] What is knox kernel lock and can I flash a custom kernel.

What is knox kernel lock? On download mode it says 0x0. Does that mean I can flash custom kernels? My warranty is already voided.
If you're on a firmware/bootloader newer than mdl you can not flash custom kernels

Flashing anything custom will trip KNOX
EDIT - Tell a lie, I believe there is a custom(ish) stock(ish) ROM that can be flashed without tripping knox, the thread title says KNOX0x0
