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

Just install this app, and hit the button! Worked very well for me.

And doesn't odin now trip knox?

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.

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

So where does the real action happen on here ?
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

Thanks mate, gosh i didnt think to look into other i9505 sections. XDA information seems somewhat all over the place sometimes. I can confirm its working. Running root without any KNOX triggers.

Im sorry mate , I know only how to root the phone without triggering your knox but if you flash any custom rom, im sure that your knox will get void ?!? Like i said im still on oldbootloader and Please feel free to read more about here .
I am currently on Android 4.3 and everything is stock. I am rooted and also have knox 0x0.
I would like to keep it that way and want to upgrade to KitKat...
What is the best way to do it? I want to have root again, once i am upgraded....
Any advice? I saw many threads on upgrading but all involve flashing through custom recovery and such things, which will trip knox...

Try samsung updates live. It's the same as sammobile
I needed to unroot (originally Towelrooted) to get an update, now I'm wanting to root again. Is there any advantage to root with Odin instead of Towelroot? Has anybody found any security flaws or any other negative quality with Towelroot by now? Does Odin still trip Knox? Because Towelroot didn't trip mine. Is there anything that significantly makes Odin better to use? Thanks.
How many threads are you going to start that ask the same question? This has been answered for you already. You updated, towelroot will no longer work for you, you need to root with cf-auto root using Odin. Knox will be tripped. You can try towelroot if you want.
There is no reason to make multiple threads for the same thing.

Wow you really need to learn how to search/read all the answers you need are there. Or better yet just don't bother cause it sounds like your just doing stuff for the sake of doing stuff

But he can downgrade the kernel with Odin, towelroot then and re-upgrade the kernel afterwards.
As far as i know Odin still trips Knox, so i don't see a reason not to use towelroot if you upgrade the kernel afterwards.

Is this true? Supposedly with this program for windows the official 5.0.1 lollipop rom N910FXXU1BOB4 can be rooted (maybe without tripping knox???)

when I said "without tripping knox" i meant: without increasing the knox counter to 1 and thus invalidating the warranty.
So if it works it could be the first method to root preserving the warranty.
I haven't tried though.
Anyone?

does it says anywhere that it won't trip knox?
i've looked but haven't seen anything about that.
so why would you think about something like that? if it would be possible it would've been huge news everywhere
so i think it's safe to assume you thought completely wrong about that it won't trip knox :good:

Dear sxjg23. Be our guest and give it a try.
Please let us know the result.
Nowhere to read if it don't trip Knox. It looks the same as the Kingo root server based method. My advice : root with Chainfire's solution via Odin. Yes, it trips Knox but it'a a safe and proven method.
I've tried both methods of SRSRoot, which says it's rooted but actually it's not. Some apps (root checker, titanium backup) complain it's not rooted.
Maybe I'm doing something bad.
I'll use the well-proven cf-root method instead.

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.

A question if anyone can help me.
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.

But once I install an official firmware, I will be able to use Knox and Samsung pay again?

Nope, you won't be able to use it again, even after you install an official firmware afterwards.
