I didn't even know this was possible and was totally looking forward to tripping Knox but I just installed dynamic root on default rom slot on my new copper gold s5 with root and it seems Knox still shows as 0x0 ! Is this really possible ? If so what's all the hype about tripping Knox!

Hi guys,
I got my s4 i9505 2 weeks ago.
After booting I updated to Android 4.4.2. After I did that I did some research on how to root my device and was shocked about what I found out. I understand that there no chance of rooting the phone without flipping Knox tag (thus void warranty). I understand that there is a way (saferoot) if you have a pre 4.4.2 rom which I don't have any more. I read in the Knox Q&A that there is a method called root de la vega which does not flip the Knox tag. But if I understand the thread right you have to flash a rom and that will flip the Knox tag. I am lost here.
Further more I read that Samsung sometimes refuses to repair even hardware damages if the tag is flipped to void warranty.* I paid so much money that I really do not want to take that risk.
I could not find answers to the following questions. Maybe u guys can help me:
Is it true there is no known way to root a s4 with android 4.4.2 without flipping knox voiding warranty?
Is there no way to go back to a previous rom and use saferoot without voiding warranty?
Are developers working on a solution or will I have to decide to void warranty if I want to have root?
What does the Knox 0x0.sh in root de la vega method do ?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks guys !
There is no way the S4 to rooting without the Knox Counter to increase.
There is also no way to get back on Android 4.3 back.
To my knowledge there has not yet made no developer Knox to crack.
But your device i9505 support triangleaway so you can clear your flash counter but for i9500 it doesn't support yet.

Towelroot seems to be an option.

yeah, I used towelroot and no knox was triggered !! amazing!
rooting 4.4.2
If you are on stock rom you can downgrade your kernel via odin and use towelroot to root without tripping knox. Then flash back the correct kernel for your room. Knox 0x0 but device status will be custom.
So guys, i got a little bit confused about knox 0x0 - 0x1 - root - custom roms etc.
I own a note 3, when it was with kitkat i've installed twrp through odin and got "knox 0x1 (1)" then i went with official lollipop firmware, and now i've reflashed twrp for installing cm12.1 getting knox 0x1 (2). From what i understand, there is no way to revert knox to 0x0, isn't it?
If i had a brand new note 3 with lollipop and knox 0x0 could I install custom roms without tripping it? or even get root permissions on the stock rom?
what also keep me confused is: why there are so many alert in the note 3 section on xda about tripping knox while in the s5/s6/note4 sections everything seems to be much easier? can you please explain me?
PS: execuse me if i've had not been so clear but english is not my first language
Nope, the device's virginity is lost, that baby is done, unless you have the Exynos version, where KNOX status could be reset
Thanks for answering. So i got a friend that would like to install the cm12.1 on his knox 0x0 N9005. will he trip it?
Not much idea mate. But I think there is a possibility that he might not trip it, at least I have seen something like that. Obviously the standard method of flashing a ROM via Odin or or from custom recovery will trip it, but I think there's a way to avoid that, not the usual way of course. You might ask to those who have already done it, or in the CM topic itself, if there is one.
Hi Community,

I think you are looking for "Towelroot". I heard that there's a way to update to LP after rooting without tripping Knox with mobile Odin, but I've never tried it myself.
Ciuffy's SM-G900F CM 12.1 spirit hath marked this way.
Thanks mate. Anyone who can help me with the way. I have checked and unable tof ind the way out.
There's no way to root the SM-G900H without tripping knox. It's been over a year without it, there won't be one. Get another phone or root and trip knox.
Hello,
I've purchased a Galaxy N9005,upgraded it to 5.0 for quite some time now and I've been thinking of rooting it.
Thing is, my warranty card is still valid and I wouldn't like voiding my warranty by tripping KNOX. Is there any way of rooting a device running N9005XXUGPOK2 (build number) without tripping it? I've searched high and low for the slightest of guides but without luck.
Could somebody point me in the right direction on how to root my device or at least letting me know if it even is possible to root it without tripping KNOX?
Root cannot be achieved without tripping Knox.
I have an galaxy S5 plus (G901f) running android 5.0.2 on G901FXXU1BOC4. I searched all over the forum without finding answer.
I want to know if it's easier to root this phone on android 5.0.2 or on 6.0?
I would like to know if there is a method to root without loosing knox waranty or at least reinstall knox waranty on both versions?
Hi!
Root always trigger KNOX counter
Do you want still root your phone?
I really want to root, I always rooted all my phones but for example If it triggers knox. Then somehow I have a problem with the phone and want to send it to the warranty, can I flash a stock rom and get knox back to 0x0?
I meant is there a way to recover knox 0x0 status on a rooted phone?
