Hello guys,
I apologize whole heartly for posting this noob question as it probably was answered already but I couldn't find the exact answer myself:
I updated my vodafone branded german n3 from MI7 to unbranded MJ3 downloaded from sammobile.com.
The flash was successful and everything, but then I read in different places (but without further exlanation) that with the new bootloader which is included in this MJ3, you can no longer root? Or does this only mean the RTDLV method with knox 0x0?
I can't live without root, so I need to know please, because if I can't root any longer now I will hve to get an exchange phone asap.
Please somone answer this one or me please.
(and if rootin mj3 with new bootloader is possible still, can this be done knox-friendly? in the rtdlv thread I didnt get an answer so pls apologize for asking here)
please someone answer shortly - I am very busy with work lately and this weekend I finally got some time to root and set everything up on my Note 3 - but if I ****ed it up by updating the firmware through stock odin I need to know so that I can get a phone exchange before it end up with Knox 0x1 or even worse a bricked phone.
I will be modding hardcore (while still remaining on stock) and will give all you guys tips n tricks that I will find out during this etc - but I just need to get initial root on my phone - preferably with Knox 0x0.
hello guys, im new to this forum.and first time user of note 3, i have couple of questions regarding installing new firmwares and rooting.
i had S3 before this and installing new firmware was not a problem and roooting as well no problem at all, i know when rooting it increases flash count, i want to know what will happen if i root note 3 using auto cf root? i heard about KNOX what will happen if it gets triggered?
anyway to install new stock firmware and root without touching knox or increasing its flash count?
kindly help.
thanks.

Use search next time..
Knox is build in in the last generation of Samsungs phone. if you flash something custom, the Knox warranty will be void.
Which means;
No Warranty, and there is no going back if you voided it. If you don't want this you might want to check the root de la vega.

Yet everything works like it should when the Knox is void. you just don't have warranty.
thread cleaned.

Hi
First of, I just signed up to this forum. I looked around for rooting, and only found the AT&T and so on versions.
If this is the wrong forum i'm sorry and please guide me to the right thanks.
I just brought the Phone and read about Towelroot on this page, but it don't work, as I updated my phone, before I learned about Towelroot.
So is their an way I can downgrade it or is their other ways to root it?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I've bought a S5 few days ago, I rooted it via towelroot and as stupid as I am I accepted an OTA update and everythings gone...
This was before I read about all that Knox et waranty things.
See my phone details in atachement.
So my question is simple, how to root this phone proprely again.
Thanks a lot.
Hello, I just joined this community
I switched from iPhone and got me a Samsung Galaxy S5(Canada model, Rogers carrier, SM-G900W8) a few weeks ago and I want to root it.
My question is, does rooting it void the warranty? And if for example I have it rooted and then after some time It suddenly breaks(hardware failure)
Does making a factory reset/unrooting or whatever leave any traces that it has been previously rooted so Samsung dosen't know and my warranty can still be valid?
Sidenote: On my rooted Asus TF300T, after unlocking the bootloader to install a custom ROM and root, every time it boots there is a message "This device is unlocked." on the top left of the screen...
I'm not very familiar with Samsung devices rooting but from what ive read rooting it could trigger KNOX?
Another thing... Does all of this also apply to switching Kernel?
I already searched a bit on this subject, it does answer on some of my points but partially, so if I broke a posting rule I'm sorry and take the necessary actions
Thanks in advance

That's because you didn't try looking for them. There are lots of answers in the forum, this question has in fact been asked and answered hundreds of times in existing threads. Had you read a few threads in the forum or did a Google search you'd had the answers yesterday. You say that you searched but your questions contradict that. Any reasonable search would have answered most if not all of your questions. If you really searched, tell us how and what you searched for.
Have an actual look and if you have any remaining questions after reading some existing threads, come back and we'll answer those questions.

I searched on Google + the forum's search bar and I haven't really found... Perhaps they were asked and stated differently?

Rooting with CF Auto Root will always trigger KNOX, this also goes for flashing a custom recovery or kernel. You need to downgrade to an older firmware version like ANE2 and then root with Towelroot. Then install SuperSU & BusyBox and after that Mobile Odin Pro (enable Everroot) and flash the latest firmware version and still keep root and KNOX on 0x0.

Thank you for the help, I will inform myself on this method! Any idea if this makes the device About > Status "Official" to "Modified"? And is it easily unrootable without leaving traces?

Install Triangle Away from Play to reset the system status and binaries to official.
Unrooting:
- Use TA to reset the status and binaries to official, check it in downloadmode.
- Unroot from within the superSU app
- Reflash the latest rom with PC Odin
- Data factory reset and you`re done.

I have the Bell Galaxy S5 and I rooted my phone with an app called Towelroot which won't trip knox. Now, if you want to install a custom recovery and custom rom on your phone, knox will be tripped but by rooting your phone with Towelroot, knox will still be 0x0
