[SOLVED] Note 3 MJ5 Kingo Root Knox 0x0 Confirmation

Sorry for a repeat post, but I dont want to trip knox on my Note 3. I heard you can use the kingo app and not void your warranty (knox 0x0). Here are my specs:
AT&T Note 3 (SM-N900A) Locked BootLoader
Sim Unlocked
Firmware/Build: MJ5
So if I use kingo app and root will Knox be tripped?
Thanks for any help and sorry if its a repeat just want a 100% confirmation, before I do anything I may regret

The only time KNOX will be tripped is if you tamper with the kernel. Rooting does not affect the kernel and therefore does not trip KNOX.

well good news, root worked and knox is not tripped, but upon opening SuperSU it asked if I wanted to disable KNOX, I dont know the method it gets rid of knox, but will this also trip KNOX?
Thank You
Thank you to the two users who helped me with this, I simply just installed Xposed Framework and Wanam Exposed and blocked Knox notifications and set system status to "Official", now I can be FREE!
i used the kango no it says custom and there is a un locked lock ? knox triped ????
No Knox isn't tripped . Install xposed framework and the module xanam exposed and I think under one of the settings you can set to official instead of custom and it gets rid of the unlocked lock on boot. Just do a Google search if you need help installing . To see if you tripped Knox go into download mode by powering off and holding all three buttons at the same time, power, home and volume down and then a screen will appear and press volume up and you will see a list of things look for warranty bit, 0x0 is a valid warranty and 0x1 is a voided warranty. Hope it helps

May I downgrade only the frimware from MJ7 to MJ5 through odin (and keeping my knox 0x0) then root using kingo or other way who not trip the knox then using mobile odin pro to go back on MJ7 and keep root and 0x0 ?
From what I have read flashing or downgrading bootloader may be impossible or resulted in Knox tripping. I would recommend either waiting for another forum member or opening your own thread (if one doesn't already exist).

has anyone tried towelroot on i9500 ?

just saw geohots rooting solution called towelroot... any of you guys out there tried it on a s4 i9500 ? how bout knox flag ?
currently running android 4.4.2.. let me know and thanks !
the Knox warranty void counter is that if you'll root your device, your Knox app will not work on your device.there is no possible way to reset the Knox counter as for now.You never get OTA updates, because your phone will turn Official status to Custom.triangle away will reset the flash counter, but it will not reset the Knox warranty void counter.

well I think you havent heard from geohots new rooting method, he claims to be able to root s5 and note 3 with the single installation of his application and pressing one single button. he even said when he tried it on his phone, knox counter was never tripped to 0x1. I was already aware of how knox worked and that there wasnt any rooting method that wont trip the knox flag. but as soon as I saw it on the forums, I went straight to ask if someone tested it on a i9500. so, anyone ?

[Knox][Warranty] Galaxy S4 I9500[India]

Hello Galaxy S4 users.
I recently bought a Galaxy S4 Black Edition.
After going through all Knox and warranty related posts I was not able to make up my mind to root.
So I called up the Samsung Customer Care for clarifying my doubt's.
The representative cleared that Knox has nothing to do with warranty(at least on India) and even if the counter increases to 1 warranty will not be lost.
Only if device status is unofficial then only we loose warranty and flashing stock firmware through Odin resets it to official(telling through personal experience with Tab 3 on 4.2.2)
I have no intention of using Knox and so want to root it.
Yet I would like to know if there is any method to root 4.4.2 without increasing the counter.
Thanks in advance.

You can use 'towelroot' by geohot for rooting 4.4.2 firmware without tripping KNOX.

I already tried that.
Both version 1 and 2.
where as version 2 is said to root without rebooting the device yet my S4 gets rebooted but it doesn't gets rooted.

The firmware installed on your S4 is not compatible yet.. what version do you have?
NC1

You can try to ask on the official towelroot thread if anyone has successfully got it working on that firmware.. or instead, you can email geohot for help

and yes it will trigger knox!
Is there a way to unroot if it needs to go to a repair,and is there a way to it back to 0x0

Yes, full unroot using SuperSU after reversing any system file changes / or flash a stock ROM again
No, once you trip KNOX to 0x1, that's it forever
Probably a stupid question but do I need to unlock the bootloader on my 901F before rooting via this method?
If so what's the current prefered method for this please?
Cheers,
Sean.

Hello,
