Hi,
I have a samsung s4 I9505 on Android 4.2.2, I attempted to root the device however after using the root status checker, the device was stating "Not rooted". How do I root my phone?
Current baseband version: I9505ZHUDMI1
What rooting method will I need?
Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39901375
This is latest Hong Kong firmware with new secure bootloader for KNOX implementation. Rooting with present method is risky and will also trigger the KNOX Warranty Void flag in the bootloader.
Hi guys,
As you know I'm fairly new here. I just want to ask if (as far as I've read) based on this POST http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498850, I'm running a Baseband Version of N9005XXUDMJ7. It says here that if I root, I will trip Knox but I won't be upgrading. Just rooting. If I continue with this process will I trip Knox?

You are altering system files, you will trip Knox... Doesn't matter that you're not changing rom.
If you were, as long as it was a stock firmware and the right bootloader, you wouldn't trip Knox...

What do you a stock firmware? I would get my firmware from sammobile. So what you're saying is that if I just root I'll trip Knox. But if I change my rom I won't?
So I should just follow the video on RDLV?
Sorry. Running a celeron processor of a brain here. -_-

De la Vega says: "If you are running MJ4, MJ7, MK1, MK2 or higher you can still root, but you will trip KNOX!"
Your firmware is MJ7 so you will trip Knox.
As you are on MJ7 it would be easier to just flash cf-autoroot... You will trip knox but easier to use.
You would trip Knox anyway and there's more steps using URDLV...
On the other hand if you want a different region rom on your Note 3 then you can pretty much just pick and flash a stock rom (as long as the new bootloader is in it) with no fear of tripping Knox....
Just don't think you can go back to MI7 or MJ1 to use URDLV to root without tripping Knox as they have the old bootloader that will see you boot looping until you reflash a newer version of stock rom with the new bootloader.
I have a G900P from Sprint running 4.4.4. I wish I had thought about rooting before it updated from 4.4.2, since this was apparently very easy.
I have searched high and low on Google and XDA and everywhere on how to root 4.4.4 without tripping knox or how to downgrade 4.4.4 down to 4.4.2 on the G900P with no success. All posts cover other models, especially Verizon's, but I would need the 4.4.2 stock rom and kernel for Sprint's G900P to perform this method on my phone.
Does anyone know how to either:
1) Root a G900P with 4.4.4 without tripping Knox. OR
2) Downgrade a G900P down to 4.4.2 with a valid link to the Sprint 4.4.2 ROM & Kernel?
Thank you.
Hey Guys!
I am on the Polish official Lollipop Rom, rooted with Knox 0x0. Because of random reboots caused by the old bootloader I want to sell my phone. I need to unroot and install another stock rom (same version, but with the branding my phone had). I have often read "flashing original firmware does not trigger knox" and my guess is I can propably unroot with supersu, uninstall all the root apps, reactivate all the knox apps and flash the complete rom (including the much needed bootloader of course) and be on the save site.
Since I have lived with Knox for 1 year now (and thats enough for a lifetime), coming all the way from DeLaVega, I just want to be sure I do not trigger it afterall. So please tell me, is it safe or could the old bootloader be problem when flashing with odin for example?
Current:
Bootloader: N9005XXUENA6
CSC: N9005XEOGBOA4
PDA: N9005XXUGBOA5
Kernel: 3.4.0-3643614
The one I need to flash:
PDA: N9005XXUGBOA5
CSC: N9005VFGGBOA2
Thank you so much for any help!
As the title says I am trying to upgrade to Lollipop, but I want to keep root. I saw this guide that talked about going to BOC4, but the rom links don't work which makes me kind of leery as to whether its the best/current method. I do know that BOC4 is the last bootloader that allows downgrading, but that isn't an issue since Lollipop is rootable right?
