I also wanted to know what are other demerits after tripping knox like Ota updates and all ?

Hi there
My galaxy s5 got into water yesterday so I checked the back of the phone and saw the litmus paper became red, then I thought that now I can finally root my phone without concerning lol ), then I flashed Modem: XXU1ANI1 and intend to flash rom later.

Yes, you can flash back to your stock modem without tripping Knox (if it has not been tripped).
To check whether your Knox was tripped or not, you can use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app and look for the Knox Warranty Void status (under GENERAL INFO section).
Thank you so much

[Q] I9505 rooting !! Serious help needed........!!!!

Hi,
My cousin owns a Galaxy s4 i9505 LTE and he wanted to root it. Since i was using custom rom on my S3 i9300, He asked me to root his phone and i told him that the knox security will mess things up. Anyway i rooted it with CF Autoroot and root was successful but the phone started restaring periodically and he wanted me to restore it back to stock rom (Unroot). He bought it from UAE and the build version was I9505XXUGNH8. Since we didn't find any firmware for UAE from sammy site, he searched the google and found a link (samfirmware) and downloaded the firmware. Then i flashed it via odin. All is good.
Now he want to root it again but the SElinux status says Enforced. Tried towel root,kingoroot and other stuffs.. No hope. The Knox says 0x0 and knox void is 0x1. Android version is 4.4.2. please help me to root this phone.
Thanks in advance...
Use cf auto root. It's the only root method that works.
Afterwards make sure to delete everything knox related. There are plenty of guides out here that tell what to delete.
Thanks for the help.. and if you don't mind, can you please tell me where to find those threads about deleting knoz files and what should i do to get a custom recovery in i9505?????

Guides to install custom Recovery and rom without tripping knoxs

Hi guys,
I rooted my s5 over a year ago and its still running 4.4.2. I have been looking for months but i have been unable to find any guides that show how to get a custom recovery and rom with out tripping knox.
I have found it soo frustrating and cant understand why samsung decided to make it so difficult when it was so easy on the older models.
Could anyone help a brother out and link me to any good guides to help me install a custom recovery and a good custom rom without tripping knox.
