hello guys, im new to this forum.and first time user of note 3, i have couple of questions regarding installing new firmwares and rooting.
i had S3 before this and installing new firmware was not a problem and roooting as well no problem at all, i know when rooting it increases flash count, i want to know what will happen if i root note 3 using auto cf root? i heard about KNOX what will happen if it gets triggered?
anyway to install new stock firmware and root without touching knox or increasing its flash count?
kindly help.
thanks.

Use search next time..
Knox is build in in the last generation of Samsungs phone. if you flash something custom, the Knox warranty will be void.
Which means;
No Warranty, and there is no going back if you voided it. If you don't want this you might want to check the root de la vega.

Yet everything works like it should when the Knox is void. you just don't have warranty.
thread cleaned.
Also this:
I know there is a thread in which you can root your S5 prime but my main question is rooting without tripping knox. Is that possible yet? If not how long do I have to wait?
Thanks.
Is Knox so urgent for you? Then you don't need root.
And if you don't understand why I say that, then NEVER root…
It depends on the date of the installed firmware. Usually around June. I used towel root on mine. I won't provide a link, you can do the research yourself.
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, I just joined this community
I switched from iPhone and got me a Samsung Galaxy S5(Canada model, Rogers carrier, SM-G900W8) a few weeks ago and I want to root it.
My question is, does rooting it void the warranty? And if for example I have it rooted and then after some time It suddenly breaks(hardware failure)
Does making a factory reset/unrooting or whatever leave any traces that it has been previously rooted so Samsung dosen't know and my warranty can still be valid?
Sidenote: On my rooted Asus TF300T, after unlocking the bootloader to install a custom ROM and root, every time it boots there is a message "This device is unlocked." on the top left of the screen...
I'm not very familiar with Samsung devices rooting but from what ive read rooting it could trigger KNOX?
Another thing... Does all of this also apply to switching Kernel?
I already searched a bit on this subject, it does answer on some of my points but partially, so if I broke a posting rule I'm sorry and take the necessary actions
Thanks in advance

That's because you didn't try looking for them. There are lots of answers in the forum, this question has in fact been asked and answered hundreds of times in existing threads. Had you read a few threads in the forum or did a Google search you'd had the answers yesterday. You say that you searched but your questions contradict that. Any reasonable search would have answered most if not all of your questions. If you really searched, tell us how and what you searched for.
Have an actual look and if you have any remaining questions after reading some existing threads, come back and we'll answer those questions.

I searched on Google + the forum's search bar and I haven't really found... Perhaps they were asked and stated differently?

Rooting with CF Auto Root will always trigger KNOX, this also goes for flashing a custom recovery or kernel. You need to downgrade to an older firmware version like ANE2 and then root with Towelroot. Then install SuperSU & BusyBox and after that Mobile Odin Pro (enable Everroot) and flash the latest firmware version and still keep root and KNOX on 0x0.

Thank you for the help, I will inform myself on this method! Any idea if this makes the device About > Status "Official" to "Modified"? And is it easily unrootable without leaving traces?

Install Triangle Away from Play to reset the system status and binaries to official.
Unrooting:
- Use TA to reset the status and binaries to official, check it in downloadmode.
- Unroot from within the superSU app
- Reflash the latest rom with PC Odin
- Data factory reset and you`re done.

I have the Bell Galaxy S5 and I rooted my phone with an app called Towelroot which won't trip knox. Now, if you want to install a custom recovery and custom rom on your phone, knox will be tripped but by rooting your phone with Towelroot, knox will still be 0x0
Hi, i need some guidence , i might be wrong thread to ask but please pardon me , question is how can i freely flash roms on note 3 N005 without any knox counter etc ? I mean i have no idea about knox thing and i guess it has something to do with roms flashing , and i like to try new roms so what is the exactly method to root note 3 and flash roms freely without any limit ? Kind responce will be appreciated
SEARCH gets answers .
SEE your identical post.
Basically if you start flashing roms you trip Knox and void warranty permanently .
