As per the title, how would I root my Exynos SM-G900H without tripping the Knox counter?
Also, I'm in Europe, would I run into trouble if I *did* trip the counter? I've heard mixed answers.

Don`t think Towelroot will work with the G900H, you`ll have to use CF Auto Root which will trip the KNOX flag. Warranty is based on the country`s laws and conditions where the phone originated from, EU consumers protection laws don`t apply to you as the phone isn`t beeing sold officialy by Samsung in the EU.

Hi guys, I have a Galaxy S4 I9505, and I've been reading for a while about KNOX "Counter". I want to root my S4, but I want to know if I root or unroot my KNOX Counter will increase from 0x0 to 0x1? And it is so, I can reset that Counter to 0x0? Because I don't want to lose my warranty.
Thanks in advance!
These are really basic question and have been asked a 1000 times already. If you really did read about Knox you would have find those basic anwsers. I don't think you have read much about Knox. There is a big thread here about Knox. You find your anwsers there.

There are so many informations that you don't know want to trust or not, and I didn't said I read here on xda, you could give me a link, but thanks for help!
Rooting will Void Your Warranty but it will give u\you access to new world..
Knox
my friend, the link below is described completely the knox...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447832
its no problem if your device has not guaranty.
Ya I think that your device gt i9505 support triangleaway so you can reset your flash counter.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
samsung gt i9505 support triangle away, and reset counter.
But counter Knox, you can not reset.
just to clarify for you...."flash counter" is a counter that increases each time you flash a rom or whatever. the know 0x1 is a flag which doesn't continually increase, it will either be 0x0 meaning that it's a stock/official system, or it will be 0x1 meaning that the knox flag has been tripped because some part of the system has been modified (e.g. flashing custom rom or recovery, or rooting etc).
so if you want a totally official/full warranty guarantee, don't modify the device in anyway. if you've gone past your warranty date or just don't care about it then you can root/install custom roms kernels and recoveries, but this will likely trip the knox flag if you have the kitkat bootloader.
Hi as the title says how do i root my Galaxy note 3 N9005 without tripping Knox ? Also i know i can use towel root but i heard if the kernel build is before 2nd June then towel-root will not trip Knox my kernel date is 25th June ?? Any suggestions plz knox must not get tripped plz.. Thanks people

Without tripping Knox ? What do you mean with this ?
I just recently rooted my Galaxy Note 3 N9005 with Odin 3.09 and CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5
No problem with Knox, allthough it intervenes when starting the SuperSU
What u had in mind?

Rooting with CF-Auto-Root has tripped the Knox counter of your Note 3. Congrats.

lolz... oh yea?
Please tell me, what does this tripping Knox counter mean?
( sorry for stupid question... i answer it by myself... with using google)
http://www.kingoapp.com/help/samsung-knox-counter.htm
I was in an impression that I can still unroot this, without too much of hassle?
(Last time I checked, it showed 0x0)

It's not possible for your Knox flag to show 0x0 after flashing CF-Auto-Roo. As soon as you flash unsigned images to your Note 3, it'll trip knox and you may lose your warranty.

You're right it seems :silly:
However I don't find this very offensive, as I offcourse accepted the risk before rooting. Allthough, I wish I'd have read more about which bloat I shouldn't have removed... that damn MagazineHome.apk is really pain in the ass. After I deleted it, --> stock email FC every time new message comes... and what really sucks, I was unable to restore or install MyMagazine or MagazineHome.apk (with or without .odex) to get rid of this annoying crash messages.
Not sure yet why I was unable to reinstall those... is there different versions of them on Verizons Note 3 than in my galaxy note 3 n9005 ?
And one thing I havent yet learned is, whether the Knox is avoiding me from doing these restores or managing to reinstall those properly? (help anyone?! please )
Was looking at some random threads and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60775776&postcount=5
Any tutorial on how to do this?
Also is there any value in keeping KNOX 0x0 now that my warranty has expired? It's not that the S5 can use Samsung Pay right? It needs that MFE(?) chip?
Thanks

If you have KitKat on your phone, you can follow this guide.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2843044
You will be able to towelroot your device and flash a pre rooted lollipop firmware.
If you want to flash and root the latest Lollipop firmware for your device, you need to towelroot while still on KitKat, and then use Flashfire to flash (and root) your chosen LP firmware......
The Flashfire thread will help guide you....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3075433
Concerning the value of keeping Knox at 0x0, that depends entirely on what you want to do with your phone......
Yes, Knox has a direct bearing on warranty, but as you said, your warranty has expired, so that doesn't matter.
It also has a bearing on whether you can use your device on business (enterprise) networks.....tripped Knox = no access.
If you decide to go back to full official, tripped Knox has been known to impact OTA......Tripped Knox = no OTA Upgrade
Don't quote me on this last one, but I *think* I've read that tripping knox breaks S Health functionality......I may be wrong on that one though.....

I've tripped knox, and my S Health works fine.

I have heard that magisk versions above v12 can do it but never tried eventually so if you know if it can or something that can root without tripping knox please tell me.
and one more question does Kingroot trip knox. I dont want to root with Kingroot but yea...
There is no way to root without tripping Knox.
Magisk can hide knox counter from apps, but it cannot reset the counter, nor can it root without tripping it.
Kingroot will trip it as well.
Kingroot won't work for s8.
You can root then set knox to 0x0 on the PHONE only. Download mode will still show 0x1 and knox tripped.
Only thing you lose rooting is Samsung pay. And maybe warranty depending on region.

Yeah it will always start on all devices, then most likely fail around 40%. Only phone I ever got to work with kingroot was an old alcatel pixi.
There's a few advantages of rooting s8 but depends what you use root for. If you do want to root I suggest TWRP and magisk.

Once knox is triggered there's no way you can use my knox again.
Best solution to use my knox will be you sell your current device and get another with knox counter shoud be 0×0 in download mode.
