[Root] Knox stays (0x0) with Kingo android root

I was looking for a safe root so that my knox counter remained at 0x0
First flased the stock firmware with odin XXUEMK4 from SamMobile
and then with kingo root rooted my Note 2
and it works my counter remained 0x0
I used this youtube movie as an example, if I did everything right, and everything went well with my
Link to Kingo android root

1- Download and install Samsung Kies or Samsung Mobile driver
2- Download "kingo"
3- On your device go to Settings/More/About device/
4- Tap 5 times on "build number" to enable "Developer option"
5- Enable "USB Debug Mode" from developer options
6- Connect your device to PC by USB cable and wait until "kingo" display the model of your device
7- Click the green Button and wait few seconds
8- After it reboot, you can unplug USB cable

Is there really already a Knox-workaround way to root the new 4.3 firmwares?
HAHAHA! That's awesome!

if this is true why nobody care about this method ? hurmmmm

Kingo Works Confirmed!!!
Just rooted my phone using Kingo
Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100
Build XXUEMK4 (India)
Knox Bootloader
WITHOUT tripping the Knox Counter!!!
Though Device status shows "Custom"
Can be taken care of by Using Xpose Framework & Wanam
Thanks.

Does this apply to GT-N7105 Galaxy Note 2 LTE?

to use xpose or wanam you must have deodexed rom

Nope. Has nothing to do with odex/deodex.
BTW. If this method works, it's the first workaround without tripping knox.
No more using older bootloaders I guess. Nice find!

Ok so please check your phone through Odin to see if really your counter stays 0x0 an show us a screenshot.
This will be the definitive confirmation.

Kingo works 100%
Have been using this rooted phone for more than a few days without any problems.
Had downloaded the OTA though.
Had not flashed MK4 firmware via Odin but it should not make a difference.
Have not tried the wanam & xpose process ... will try it today and give u all an update.
I am purely on a stock rom (odexed)
Just wanted to root the device without any custom notifications or tripping any counters
I guess this Kingo method serves the purpose...so far until something better turns up.
This is purely for those who are on STOCK Rom & want to root their Phones and are afraid of tripping their Knox Counter etc.
Follow this post for further instructions on rooting via Kingo & Wanam & Xpose (for making Device Status from Custom/Modified to Official)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509244
Major.
PS. Device status showing Custom/Modified will not allow you to update your phone via OTA.
If you want to Make it official as I mentioned u can use Wanam & Xpose
OR
Flash the original Stock ROM via ODIN (You will lose the ROOT though)

PROOF!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong but since we have root on a non modified Knox status phone, we can pull the bootloader and system info, then try to break the fuse and compare it to the untouched status one? @Chainfire

Could be possible...
As after rooting by this method I personally feel this Knox thing is more kind of software related rather than Hardware.
If Kingo can bypass this and root so can our senior Dev Team too can.
Although, I don't understand much of this mambo-jumbo in programming..am always ready to help.

No. Knox 2.0 ruined it. They have patched the loophole geohot exploited.

Knox 2 is implemented in the NG8 Version from Samsung... so Knox 2.0 is included, that means you can't up or downgrade it...

SuperSU: Samsung KNOX has been detected.... try to disable KNOX? I push to "OK" and failed : "Failed to disable knox!"
I looked at KNOX version and its 2.0. I think is that bicause I had NG8.

You don't have to remove knox!! It works with knox 2.0 and root! Just go ahead and click no

I don't agree, Knox often lets the devices reboot. And the second point is, that you can't use it so it is useless. I would delete every Knox relating app

That was the first step. After that he can install SD Maid and remove all Knox features. You agree with me?

I never tested
But why don't just delete with Titanium backup? I think the result is the same, isn't it?

I don't know. In SD Maid you got more options and you can remove all things you want not just the Knox App

Same with Titanium, i guess there are 6 or 7 Knox relating apps or drivers and you can delete them with TB.
But no matter how you delete the apps, important is, that you delete them

Root S5 Without Tripping Knox ??

Hi guys
As some of you know I've just bought a S5 and want to root it.
I touched on this in my last thread but thought it was way off topic and that i should start a new thread.
There's plenty of threads about this but they are either old or speak of particular models of s5 or include installing a custom firmware.
What i would like to know (i got there in the end....lol) is there a way to do a root only (without installing custom firmware or recovery) with out tripping knox?
I think I've looked everywhere but cant find any guides.
I'm in the uk and my s5 is the SM-G900F on android 4.4.2.
Also is it worth even trying to root it when 5.0 is just around the corner?

Anyone

Odin has always tripped knox.
Towelroot should work with 4.4.2. is worth a try, the worst thing that could happen is it kills the app and tells you that you've been compromised.

Thanks for the replies (I thought more people would be replying to this topic....lol)
I read that it was ok to use odin without tripping knox if you flashed an official Samsung firmware.
Ill look into towelroot again
So if it kills the app and says I've been compromised, what do I do then?

It will just try to kill the app. But if that happens, I don't know of any way to get around knox.
And this forum is where experienced people like me just come to raise my post count so I can post where the real action happens.

So it wont actually trip knox and I can just reboot the phone to get rid of the message?

Because I've made a few threads on here now but I don't seem to get many replies in any of them

Yeah, just hold the power button to reboot.
The real action here happens in the Unified Development section. Lots of activity going on right now.

My phone has just took the 5.0 update so I guess I've got no chance of rooting it without tripping knox now

[SM-A710FD] How to root without tripping KNOX?

I've been searching for a tutorial of how to root this phone without tripping knox and i do have some files in it (knox) too.
Back in the old days, i was using Galaxy Note 2 and I rooted with KNOX tripped (it was out of warranty already) and the KNOX won;t be able to be access anymore and that's a bad thing
So, how to root this thing without tripping knox and still have my warranty covered?
Thanks in advance

Kingroot or Kingoroot. If it works Do not convert to supersu afterwards.

so will the root be permanant if i use kingoroot?

It will brick your device unless you install it through recovery.

What model? G950F/FD? G950U? There is a very simple way to root G950U/G950W devices already in existence. It's called SamFail and is listed with an accompanying rom in the threads section.

Sadly, currently there is no way of rooting Exynos S8 without tripping knox..

Unfortunately as mentioned above and beyond there is no way currently without tripping Knox. Sadly, I use Samsung Pay alot and like the idea of keeping that option hence no rooting as long as this device is my DD.

I really need to Root my Galaxy S8 (SM-G950F) cause i need to try to recover some photos and most apps to recover need the root done.
I know that root trips Knox, but if i install an official firmware after been tripped, will phone get back to normal, or it will tripped forever??
Thanks

It physically trips knox warranty, so if it’s tripped once, you can’t recover it unless you replace motherboard.
