Hello!
I wonder how the root situation looks right now for the Note 4. Is the easiest to use CF-AutoRoot? Only want root, no recovery.
I remember hearing back at the beginning about Xposed not working and rooting made the phone starting to lag, are these two issues fixed today?
Thanks in advance!
I really don't find my device lagging when rooted. And there is Xposed Framework for samsung lollipop in development Here. And more on Xposed Here. If you have KK then you can install stable release of Xposed.
Watch out for tripping Knox when rooting (you will lose your warranty). And make an nandroid backup before installing Xposed just in case.

Okay, thanks!
"watch out for tripping Knox when rooting" do you mean there is a way to only root without tripping Knox or do you mean I should be aware that it does trip Knox?

Has anyone run across this who have upgraded to 4.4.x?
Apparently, in the version of KitKat released by Samsung, without a 3rd party chip installed in the accessory, the accessory won't be recognized by the ROM.

Yup, but it has been fixed if you have root >>> here
Will updating/flashing Framework require you to trip knox though? Meaning, does it require a different recovery? Not clear in the link you provided. Sorry, I'm not an expert at all on framework and how to get it on the devices.

Well rooting (unless you are on MJ2 firmware) will trip your KNOX I'm afraid but no custom recovery is required only root access, - but if you were rooted, then it's just a case of installing Xposed framework (pretty much just an .apk install) - then open the app, go to downloads and find that mod, hit install and reboot and that's it pretty much

Not a true statement at all that rooting will trip Knox. I used Kingo and haven't tripped Knox at all. I'm just asking if flashing Xposed framewwork requires a different recovery and bootloader which WILL trip Knox as it requires a new recovery. However, I have 0x0 root so, no, rooting does NOT imply you've tripped Knox at all.
I just looked up Xposed and was able to install and run the APK and able to install a few of the add-ons.
Nice. And all that without tripping Knox, hmm.

Well usually rooting any firmware past MJ2 trips KNOX especially if using CF Root, I cannot comment on Kingo as it was banned and still is banned on XDA afaik, so never had any dealings with it. Plus I tripped my KNOX straight away. Also, from what I have read around, after you reboot when installing certain root methods, it'll trip KNOX automatically (whether yours has/.will is a different story)
Hi,
I would like to know if there is any known way at the moment to get a rooted kitkat 4.4.2 firmware without tripping knox. I'm momentarily running MKE 4.3, German csc I think. I'm aware of saferoot for this firmware, but I would like to know if there's something like it for official kitkat, or if it is possible to root my 4.3 and then upgrade via mobile odin and inject root via everroot everroot without tripping knox. If not I'll just update via OTA and root via another method but if it's possible I'd like to keep knox for now

No, uptil now there is no such method developed. Check on Kingo root website whether they ve updated to root 4.4.2 firmware.

Oké, Thanks anyway
I don't really trust kingoroot as I thought that it had spyware installed, just as vroot, but then I heard about saferoot and I I was hoping I could keep root via mobile odin, but too bad. I'll just just root via cf-root then

Towelroot. by geohot
Does not trip the knox counter..but don't expect to use custom recoveries. It is a simple root only.

Thanks! I read about it in the featured articles but I wasn't sure it would work or not. I was just planning to use the root to clean the ROM up a bit to free up some system memory and RAM and make some apps system apps, better backups and fiddle a bit with my storage, and maybe using some modules, do you know if using Xposed trips knox?

Xposed doesn't... but I would be weary of modules that perform bootloader or deep system changes
Titanium Backup.. and use backup app and then remove/disable etc
Just be careful... if the knox counter is v important to you.

It's not that important to me, I just don't want to trip it if I don't have to, if I need to trip it for something I really want to do I don't have a problem with it , it's not like use knox thanks you very much

Actually KNOX is very important for warranty issues. If you dont have warranty then I wouldnt worry about it. If you DO have warranty then do not mess with KNOX-tripping root methods.
Device: SM-G901F (I believe the prime version of the s5 in UK, checked with an app I have 805 processor)
Firmware: 4.4.4 everything official, owned for less than 1 week.
I only want one thing by rooting: xPrivacy. That's all.
I want to keep my warranty fully intact and here's what I know:
Towelroot can root without tripping knox but I read something about it only working on June firmware etc. I'm not sure if it's compatible with my s5 either as there's not many mentions of my model number device.
Will installing xposed/xprivacy trip knox? What's is the easiest method of installing these?
Finally, I know that flashing trips knox, but if I wanted to fully unroot, wouldn't I have to flash a stock ROM? Is there a method of fully unrooting without tripping Knox?
Thank you.

1. You need CF Auto Root to root the phone, you can download it here http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/. Download and flash the right file with Odin 3.09.
This will trip KNOX though, Towelroot will not work for you as your kernel is too young and patched for the volnurability.
2. Installing the Xposed.apk framework and its modules will not trip KNOX.
3. Flashing official firmware with Odin will not trip KNOX.
4. Full unroot: Use Triangle Away to reset the system and status to official and unroot from the superSU app. Then flash a stock rom and after that factory reset in recovery.

Thanks for the clear info!
1. Is it definitely patched? It's because of my model right? Isn't there a way of rooting my model without tripping knox?
4. Is there a step by step tutorial of this somewhere, and will it trip knox? I was researching some ways if unrooting and came across something to do with unroot ing using supersu and then flashing stock with Odin. Is that any different?
Many thanks!

1. Yup Towelroot only works on firmwares till ANE2, yours is build after that date
2. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980683 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414 for more info about CF Auto Root and using Odin.
In order to root the phone KNOXwill be tripped, its inevitable.
That's a real shame. Really wanted xprivacy after coming from an iphone since I was used to having better privacy on there. Guess I'll have to wait in the hopes that something is released
My lovely new Note 4 is still stock and not having root is unbearable (or more to the point Xposed Framework). Does anyone know if anyone is actively trying to find a non-knox tripping root for 5.1.1?
I rooted my Note 3, just before Towelroot came out a few years back
This would be a dream really. I need root without tripping knox SO BAD, i really need it with the 5.1.1 update.

There's no root for 5.1.1 yet,not even WITH tripping Knox

hi,
Firstly, I am on Android v 5.1.1, rooted with custom recovery. To get root at the moment you have to flash permissive kernel. Yes logic says that will trip Knox... correct, (in my case Knox was trip in October 2014 when phone was launched.)
Secondly,
With Note5 already launched, i doubt if any effort will be made, re Note4 root (not tripping Knox)
Just the way i see it at moment
good luck
Currently it is not available and it won't be, trust me.
There is no real focus and interest on development of the Note 4.
Hi guys
Got myself an s5 900f updated to 6.0.1 is there anyway possible to root without tripping knox. Not really wanting custom roms just need root for titanium backup so i can debloat the crap out this sucker.
Can it be done guys?
no is but do can with or from kimba root

rooting without tripping knox isnt possible afaik. Why does tripping know concern you? Warranty claims for S5's have rarely been hindered by a knox counter issue

You could try to use cowroot, but it's temporary, and it was patched with december security patch...I haven't tried it though...but it could works:good:
EDIT:
If it works it won't trip knox but when you have root permission if you try to install custom recovery with something like "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery" from terminal emulator and you reboot into recovery mode, you will trip knox (same thing with the kernel).
