So is it possible? I have seen guides for this kind of thing but it only had link for kernel and that was for i9505 not i9506 so i'm curious how you can root this model without tripping knox, i'm really confused, any help will be accepted, thanks.
I think that you can, but Knox will be tripped
Xda,
I have a refurbished Verizon Galaxy Note 3 with Stock Android 4.3 baseband N900VVRUBMJE. I successfully rooted it today with Geohot's towelroot v3 apk. SuperSU asked to remove Knox software and I said yes. Knox shows 0x0. I would like to upgrade to Android 4.4.2 or Hyperdrive 4.4.2 maintain root and not trip Knox. A long time ago on my last Galaxy Note 3 I rooted using safestrap and Odin. With towel root I am not sure what's actually been done to the phone so I don't know where to start and what to do to upgrade to 4.4.2. I just know that I don't want to take the OTA update.
Any help is welcomed.
Thanks,
Tazius
Hello,
Downgrading G900FXXU1BNL9 (lollipop) to G900FXXU1ANG2 (kitkat) for my GS5 will trip knox to 0x1 or not?
Thanks

Hi. No,it will not trip your knox as it is Samsung Firmware. KNOX Gets tripped only when you root/CWM.
From what i heard which i forgot where, downgrading from 5.0 to lower WILL trip knox, because it then downgrades KNOX security, so samsung doesn't officially accept to downgrade it from 5.0 to 4.4. Also im 100% certain that Samsung wrote that it's not possible to downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4.x, so i assume if u force to downgrade, it may trigger the knox.

I downgraded from polish lollipop bnl9 to kitkat(beacause I do not want to loose root) and my knox counter is still 0x0
Well thanks guys.
I did it also and it doesn't trip knox .
This ROM works in G900M?
Sent from my klte using XDA Free mobile app
Downgraded from lollipop G900IZTU1BOA1 to G900IDVU1ANK1 .
Lollipop is not yet for me. A bit laggy, not XPOSED framework and much other stuff which worked fine on KK. Must wait to 5.0.2 version maybe? Version 5.0 is not for advanced user yet
Total noooob downgrade:
1)Start phone in download mode
2)Flash KK firmware.
3)Your phone will not start normally either. Bootloop guaranted.
4)Remove battery and put in again.
5)Do a factory reset from STOCK recovery
6)Flash again KK firmware
7)Phone start normally, you can start customization and other stuff like rooting or daily using.
Hi guys, does anyone know if there is a method to root the S5 with Lollipop firmware BOD3 without tripping knox flag?
Sorry for my bad English.
You can't root Lollipop without tripping KNOX
Closed method would be going back to KK, then using one of the root injection upgrade tools, not sure which ones work, flashfire? MobileODIN Pro?
I have done a fair bit of reading and it states OE1 can not be safely rooted due to the inability to downgrade. Yet the .tar file is available.... i do not care about tripping my KNOX, I have no intention of ever returning to Verizon or any other carrier with this phone. Using Odin, can I still flash a different ROM on my device to start my root process.. once again I do not care about my KNOX counter.
