What is the best/safest root method for the SM-G900F?
You can try Towelroot.
I prefer CF-Auto Root even though it trips KNOX
what is Knox? I keep seeing it everywhere

you can see knox counter in download mode. it should be: 0x0
when you trip this counter it goes to: 0x1
with that warranty is void. well, in most parts of the world
you can trip knox counter if you flash 1) custom kernel or 2) custom recovery
Most of roms here will trip knox counter, some will not(like Neat ROM from Sale)
Hello guys.. just bought an internacional s5 unlocked from Vodafone. .. is there any step by step tutorial for flashing custom recovery and root for this model? Thx

Towelroot does not remove knox?
Have not used Towelroot myself so I cannot confirm. I've heard it does not trip KNOX if your firmware is dated June or earlier.

how to know if my firmware's date? is it the kernel version? it says Wed Jul 23
That would be part of it yes. I haven't read much into Towelroot. They could have updated it from last I heard so things could have changed there.

Hi,
i am seeing that currently people are recommending kingo root or vroot, that was claimed that this won't trigger knox flag at all.
After rooting. if i were to flash any custom ROM, will this trigger knox flag?
Thank!

Yes it will. Flashing a custom Recovery and/or a Rom will trip Knox. Kingo and vroot are not full roots. The phone is rooted enough to allow you to customize the stock rom and for applications that require root to work. If you want to flash custom roms, you might as well use the CF Auto Root method and get a full root. That will trip knox but so will what you want to do.
I'm sure it will be trip by KNOX. Keep calm until developer launch triangle away for Note 3 dude.

Hi all. Have N9005 with MJ7 XME unit. Rooted with de LA Vega since MJ1.
I accidentally installed a 4.51MB update via OTA and have lost my root access.
Question, how can I get root access back without tripping Knox and/or downgrading to MJ1.
Appreciate any assistance relevant to the problem I have.
Thanks.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
How can you OTA update if your phone has been rooted.
BTW I affraid that you can not downgrade to MJ1 as well as get root without tripping Knox atm.
you can't root without trip knox.
afaik ota is possible if he using wanam to set fake status to official.
At this point, can I still run de la vega? On an MJ7 image I downloaded?

The ONLY safe way to upgrade was with MOP... Since you did it the Samsung way you are now stuck with the updated bootloader and no way to root without tripping Knox...
How you didn't know this is beyond me since it's all over the forum....
Thanks all for the replies. My loss then for not thronging the threads.

Ok you cannot root without tripping knox now.
I tried rooting with kingo app and safe root so I dont trip knox. I get unsupported device.
There is root method with cf root and odin but that trips knox.
Any suggestions?

Someone knows tell me what I can do with wanan xposed without trip the Knox? Or if I just install the xposed framework, the Knox will be tripped? Thanks...
Use towelroot to root. As long as you did not flash custom recovery knox is ok

What's your phone's model? Some models like N900W8 (Canadian model) will not trigger Knox unless the bootloader is changed or downgraded.
Mine is the n9005

Ok. Then I strongly suggest you use TowelRoot. This will not trip the Knox counter.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you, bro ✌

Hi guys,
I have a N910C arriving in 2 days and I'm looking for the most stable lollipop rom for it.
I found one from Poland on sammobile, but I believe it has carrier bloatware.
Also, the steps would be root, custom recovery, and flash. Am I correct?
Thanks
Yes, install that 5.0.1 from Poland and that's all...
Just Download Odin app and flash even without root.

Nope, it's official so It doesn't trip Knox counter. Also it doesn't have any kind of bloatware so flash it and enjoy your new phone!
