[Q] Is it esasy to root GN3?

Question is in the title.
With all this Knox security nonsense baked into Samsung Android devices from now on, I wonder how much harder it's going to be to unlock and root the Note 3.

it does not make it any harder...only makes you loose the warranty easier

you just randomly decided to ask this question? rooting the note 3 is the same process as rooting other Sammy phones....if you would have looked in the root threads that are posted in the dev section you would have figured that out it took me like a min to root my phone and i dont think it gets simpler than that
PS- knox doesnt really affect anything, i dont get why ppl are so scared of it.. there is even a root method that doesnt trip the binary counter.....

[Help] Knox Friendly Root?

Does anyone can tell when a working Knox friendly root will be available for Galaxy S5?
If it is there for Note 3 Android 4.4 then it would be available for S5.
Any news about it?

I'm pretty sure that can only be achieved with an exploit.
So nobody knows if there is one now.
You can't just say that just because the Note 3 had an exploit, the S5 would have one too

I seen in the forum that Note 3's Android 4.4 has no Knox friendly exploit yet.

[Q] Root without tripping Knox?

Is still CFAutoRoot still the only way to root our devices? Note 3 and S5 could root with TowelRoot and not void their warranty, we still cant Are any of the devs working on a workaround for this?

Currently CFAutoRoot is the only way to root your Note 4 at the moment, so this means you will lose your warranty if you rooted your Note 4. However many people are saying that tripping KNOX doesn't mean Samsung will not fix your phone if you have a hardware issue unless they can proof that the hardware issue is caused by the software you installed or rooting it.
I think developers are currently working on it, but I guess you just need to be patient. Hope I solved your question.

There is no workaround for knox.
Knox is a physical fuse (that meets DoD security standards), if you tamper with the secure knox box or root your device the fuse blows.
Therefore, by rooting your device you have physically damaged your phone and your warranty is void.
Here in the UK, we are under the false impression that by rooting we have not physically damaged the device, but in fact we have. Thus, if Samsung so chooses not to repair devices under warranty, we have no recourse.

In the past, there were countless workarounds for achieving boot without tripping Knox.

You didn't do any physical change. Samsung did, nobody else.
I guess we need to be patient; developers will concentrate on Lollipop - doesn't make much sense breaking your brains for rooting a firmware which will be more or less obsolete in a just few days.

I guess you are right, i mean i thought that Lollipop would be out like a month ago, probably devs too, but i hope they start working on a workaround as soon lollipop is out, and that should be any day now, even official lollipop user manual is up on samsungs web

[N910C]Is there a way to root without tripping knox

Hi all. İ wonder is there a way to root without tripping knox like Towelroot etc? I don't want to trip knox counter...

Not possible on any Note 4 variant.

There is a way you could try but the last time I checked it wasn't supported for the Galaxy Note 4's. It's an app that roots your phone by literally The Click (Tap) of a Button. It's called Towel Root by geohot. You can find it here.
Try it out and let me know if it works. Hope this helped.
It takes longer to type "Thanks" than to press the button. Make your life easier

i guess it does not support anything exept snapdragon

Well, that's the best you can get at the moment. Sorry. I too was trying to root without tripping knox counter but really it doesn't matter that much. I mean I've never destroyed a phone in any way to need a replacement or damage it in any unrecoverable way that I would have to take it to my Service Provider to fix it (plus they don't have a clue about phones at MTN, I don't know how they hire those people when they can't even explain how to edit your Network Settings).

I tried Towelroot and it fails.

Towelroot used an exploit to gain root without tripping Knox. That exploit was also a security vulnerability and was fixed by Samsung on the Note 3 and S5 later software updates. The Note 4 and S6 come with that fix built-in and towelroot will not work. Which is a good thing because the same exploit could be used by a third party to gain FULL access to your phone.

Can i root my o2 Samsung galaxy s10+ phone without voiding warranty.

rooting a Samsung phone almost always ‘trips Knox’
(permanently blows an e-fuse) and voids the warranty

Even using magisk + custom recovery? I've heard things like Netflix don't usually work with root but this way it does.

U cant have your cake and eat it too.

Knox being broken shouldn't void warranty under EU consumer laws. But you best do your due diligence and not just take my word for it.

The answer is no. At least nothing publicly available.
Theres plenty of USA s10+ owners who would be all over if it was possible since we cant even unlock the BL which means stuck waiting around for alternate root methods

This is not true. It depends on "how" you root. Finding a way to root without unlocking the BL and using custom boot/recovery usually does not trip Knox. Of course these methods are becoming more and more rare. For example I rooted s8/s8+ USA variants back when they launched which was using a few vulns, certain signed samsung firmware and system root and Knox was fine. They also can root USA Note 8 devices using other means without tripping Knox. I also rooted USA N9 on combo firmware without tripping knox/warranty bit.
Heck even unlocking bootloader sometimes doesnt trip Knox until you actually flash custom firmware. Typically if you use Magisk root or TWRP on an unlocked bootloader then you definitely will trip Knox. Point is that it's possible to root without tripping knox as it has been done many times over the years. Nowadays though most people just buy unlockable variants so it's really all anyone sees or knows about most the time.

Lol
Seeing as how magisk patched firmware and TWRP specifically require an unlocked BL which is exactly what trips knox your answer is no. That will 100% trip your knox flag.
As far as Netflix (and many other companies) they are always trying to be as secure as possible. Theres many who find ways to get around those types of issues. It's just a cat n mouse game sometimes i.e devs get it working then Netflix breaks it again then users find a way to get around it etc etc

What you say is true anything is “possible”
However as the OP is on the O2 network he has an Exynos chipset.
Is it currently possible to root an Exynos S10+ without tripping Knox ?
I stopped rooting about 5 years ago so don’t know of a way right now

ive never owned one.. i imagine most just unlock bl.. but from wat my sources tell me there is easy root on exynos without tripping knox.. I am not able to provide details tho as they are private methods.. they use it for business and such apparently so take it with a grain of salt lol
exynos are notoriously known to b a lot easier to root than SD variants
