I have a SHV-E330L and I've flashed a rooted 4.3 stock rom (E330LKLUBMK4). Can I flash CWM without tripping Knox flag?
Also could someone advise which CWM will work on this (SnapDragon 800)

Actually no....I misread the knox kernel lock as knox warranty void. I used the rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2587037
My phone is S4-i337M.with samsung MVLUEMK6 4.3.
After rooting or installing CWM in ODIN i noticed that knox warranty shows 0x1.
Phone boots normally - no issue. It safely can go to download mode.
Question: Is it OK to install custom roms without outright chance of bricking. (I understand the risk of bricking with any modification)
Thanks in advance.
Any suggestion, please?
Yes, you can install custom roms even though Knox has been tripped.

You might as well go all out and install custom everything, since Knox is already tripped anyway.
Hi all,
I really miss and need my TWRP fix on my Mexican Note 3! Any way to flash TWRP without tripping Knox? I am already rooted using TowelRoot, and am running 4.4.2 stock.
Thanks!
any castom recovery will tripping your Knox

Try cutting out the refried beans. Lol, don't think it's possible, flashing a custom recovery in order to install TWRP will trip Knox. Until that's figured out we will have to deal with Knox.

There have been traces where you COULD avoid tripping KNOX on the N900W8 mexican, there have been reports on my thread and N900W8 threads where Mexican users flashed nicely.

Do you know this for sure? I have custom recovery on my Canadian N900W8 and KNOX is 0x0. With custom kernel and custom ROM.
Learn the hardware before you post a definitive answer.

I read about root, but can't find infos about knox.
Just use cf auto root and odex, that's it ?
KNOX is Samsungs way of voiding your warranty, when their hardware is at fault, but you have flashed something custom
0x0 = valid
0x1 = void
Soon as you flash anything custom, 0x1 - and it's irreversible
If you don't care, root using CF Auto Root and ODIN
Or TWRP 2.8.7.0 & ODIN, then SuperSU zip from TWRP recovery
Like I say, everything is posted thousands of times over, if you'd checked the thread below this one, you'd have known what KNOX was

So there is no way to root without loosing knox/warranty?
If you have a pre June 2014 KitKat ROM running, you can root using Towelroot app, then upgrade to Lollipop using Flashfire to keep root / not trip KNOX
That's the only other method

Flashing a stock Samsung ROM will not trip KNOX, so you're safe to flash any stock ROM without worrying about KNOX, KNOX is only tripped by flashing custom stuff not signed by Samsung
But to upgrade to Lollipop without losing root or tripping KNOX, you have to use Flashfire after running Towelroot on KK, otherwise you'll lose root, and then have no other options than flashing back to KK or tripping KNOX by using CF Auto Root

search "towel root"
by far the easiest and it wont trip the knox counter as long as you don't add a custom recovery

oooops my bad
Easiest way to root IMHO would be to flash a custom recovery and flash supersu.zip from recovery. Unfortunately, flashing a custom recovery will trip the knox counter. Flashing a custom recovery will also allow you to make nandroid backups and flash custom ROMs.
If there is no warranty on the phone, tripping the knox counter shouldn't cause any issues. I have the n900w8 with a tripped counter and haven't encountered any issues with flashing and using stock or custom ROMs.
Thanks, warranty is no issue.
