Hey Guy Need Help regarding rooting.
I switched from Xperia Z1(Unlocked + root - Did everything with it ) to Galaxy s5, so things are a bit different for me in the Samsung world.
My phone is SM-G900H running 4.4.2 G900HXXU1ANG3 firmware.
I referred to a lot of threads before posting this for reference but didn't get few answers-

But i was confused as i have seen some posts that the phone is not rooting with ANG3 firmware.
I know that warranty will not come back after rooting but in case things went wrong and after tripping knox will i be able to flash the stock firmwares via Odin ?
I also wanted to know what are other demerits after tripping knox like Ota updates and all ?
Please help me.. M confused
Anyone here to help me out :crying:

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.
was an early adopter of android then went to ios for awhile so im a bit out of the loop on these things but now ive just bought a note 3 and want kitkat, without all the telstra bloatware.
ive been searching a few threads and keep seeing stuff about tripping the knox counter, can someone help me to update to kitkat without tripping the knox counter?

Hi,
My cousin owns a Galaxy s4 i9505 LTE and he wanted to root it. Since i was using custom rom on my S3 i9300, He asked me to root his phone and i told him that the knox security will mess things up. Anyway i rooted it with CF Autoroot and root was successful but the phone started restaring periodically and he wanted me to restore it back to stock rom (Unroot). He bought it from UAE and the build version was I9505XXUGNH8. Since we didn't find any firmware for UAE from sammy site, he searched the google and found a link (samfirmware) and downloaded the firmware. Then i flashed it via odin. All is good.
Now he want to root it again but the SElinux status says Enforced. Tried towel root,kingoroot and other stuffs.. No hope. The Knox says 0x0 and knox void is 0x1. Android version is 4.4.2. please help me to root this phone.
Thanks in advance...
Use cf auto root. It's the only root method that works.
Afterwards make sure to delete everything knox related. There are plenty of guides out here that tell what to delete.
Thanks for the help.. and if you don't mind, can you please tell me where to find those threads about deleting knoz files and what should i do to get a custom recovery in i9505?????

Hello everyone! I always had rooted all my devices and now just upgraded my note3 to note 4 and I really can't find a safe way to root the note 4n910f with the latest official updates on him (5.1.1 COI3 ). Any advice for a safe root method? Thank you all!
What do you mean by safe ? Are you talking about rooting without triggering know? If so then not possible for 5.1.1 atm and most likely not gonna happen.
Other then that just check out the rooting guides.
Hi guys,
I rooted my s5 over a year ago and its still running 4.4.2. I have been looking for months but i have been unable to find any guides that show how to get a custom recovery and rom with out tripping knox.
I have found it soo frustrating and cant understand why samsung decided to make it so difficult when it was so easy on the older models.
Could anyone help a brother out and link me to any good guides to help me install a custom recovery and a good custom rom without tripping knox.
cheers all
