The only known method to not trip your KNOX is through towelroot, but as you stated your kernel is 25 June, it won't be supported.

OK mate no worries seen the towelroot option but noticed the date issues, was hoping I may have missed a thread or something that had a newer method of rooting.

Is this phone unlocked? Who is your carrier? What country are you in?

I live in Montenegro and the phone is unlocked.
Look here. As your phone is unlocked, you're not limited to a specific firmware. Pick one and download it, though I'd recommend staying away from the ones that have carrier names in parenthesis.

Everything went smoothly. Thanks a lot man!
Sorry if I sound noobish, but mine isn't rooted yet...
I do however want to downgrade my phone back to kit kat.
Does any of you know if there already is a new root method?
For the I9515, CF-AutoRoot is the only root method that works, as the old tutorials in the forum that mentioned using Towelroot required using versions of Android your device never had, i.e. Android 4.2.2. Therefore, while you can downgrade to 4.4.2 it's not going to help you root without tripping Knox.
So if I'm reading you correctly, CF-autoroot is the only method for root without tripping Knox?

yes, that's correct except you would be capable and doing all on your own JK

CF-AutoRoot trips Knox as it temporarily installs a custom recovery to deliver its payload.
Great...
So I have to choose to either learn to live with lollipop or to accept
that I will lose my warranty.
That's the last time for me to install an update without checking it out first
The update isn't at fault here, because on the I9515 only two versions of Android are available (4.4.2 and 5.x) and Towelroot doesn't work on either of them. So, your choices are even simpler. You either can root and possibly void your warranty*, or don't root and use the device as is.
*Depending on location, you may or may not lose your warranty. Some countries do not permit warranties to be voided because of software modifications, so you want to check this out for yourself.

If I may correct a little bit. Towelroot works on some version of 4.4.2. It was "fixed" in the newer versions of 4.4.2.

According to this poster, the firmware you suggested (I9515XXU1ANI3) works with towelroot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...pping-knox-t2887705/post56847621#post56847621
ps why do you assume you need root for downgrade? Because you don't.
@Lennyz1988: Feel free to correct, as more people chiming in can only help.
I honestly didn't know about Towelroot being updated, but then again I haven't had a need to catch up on the Towelroot-related threads since my device already had a tripped Knox when I purchased it.
Phone locked or not.
How can i check that my phone is unlocked or not?

Dont try method above - it'll trip knox to 0x1 - it will void warranty.
The more secure way is to download the oldest KitKat ROM and root via TowelRoot and then install any Knox 0x0 ROM e.g. Alexandr or Ambasadii.

My device is already 1x0 knox
My only worried is because the build number in my device isn't the same as the one on cf auto root and I don't want to get my phone bricked

By my knowledge - if you have a G900F you flash F version, What depend is only your android version...If you are using 4.4.2 use the File that i said that is 4.4.2 version Android
If you have a 5.0 Android Rom Flash the 5.0 Root ChainFire.
You Will only brick your smartphone if you flash the version M or A. But even that way probally that it will not brick entirely.
Have no Fear =) The thread that i said to you read have everything on there and you can do it.

Hey there,
My Dad just gave me his almost a year old Note 3 .I have seen various ways of rooting the Int. version of the Note 3 (N900) but all of them Trip this God damn Knox. Are there any possible ways of rooting my phone without tripping Knox ? And should I refrain from rooting with CF-Auto root as my Warranty finishes on 4th May
If your phone is running 4.3 or newer rom, I know of no way to root without tripping Knox.

Note 3 came with 4.4 out of the box and I updated it to 5.0
I don't think there is a way to root without tripping Knox.
Personally, I would wait until the warranty period is over.
Hi !
I have a Galaxy S5 with Knox flag (0x0), my question is if I flash it and I trig it to (0x1) can I still use Samsung Knox application ?
Is it linked or, is the flag is only for the warranty ?
I'm looking for rooting a 4.4.2 with keeping Knox (0x0) but towelroot don't support G900FD, do you have an other software ?
Thanks in advance
Have a good day
Why kitKat? is far beyond from outdated in 2019
Towelroot never worked in versions above android 2.3
any tiny modification will cause the system fingerprint to change, even if your warranty still says 0x0, so it will eventually fail
android nowadays has a lot of security stuff, keep that in mind, samsung dropped knox support
Sorry for the respond time.
Thanks.
Kitkat, to keep Samsung rom.
I have change now !
