Impossible with n9005.....maybe with exynos....
But they said we should downgrade to kitkat first? So we can root it through Towelroot then the know will not tripped 0x1. Then flash lollipop firmware?
Teorically (and practically) detrip Knox is possible (there are many cases of people who went to Samsung and had their already 0x1 phones detripped without hw replacements. But unfortunately nobody know (or better, want to make know) how does it work. Soooooooo, your ****ed
You have to downgrade to Kit kat
Than Flash an special Kernel (dont know which)
After flashing the Kernel Wifi will Not work so be sure you have mobile data. Than download towelroot run it and flash Newer kernel.
Than you are rooted with Knox 0x0. Maybe you can try update from kit kat to lolipop with mobile odin. İ tried but Tripped Knox Unfortunately. So make sure you are always using Original samsung kernel and recovery ... (by mine was an ****ing kernel that Tripped knox)

This KNOX thing is creating too much confusion. Somebody please clear it. Some say that KNOX won't allow us to root ar flash custom kernels n roms. Some are say that KNOX bootloader can be replaced. I am using GT-I9500 (4.3 official, MJ8 build number, not rooted), which i wish to root. What should i exactly do to get rid of knox?
Please help. Thanks

I too am confused with this whole Knox stuff. But from my experience, you can Root and install custom software but it will void your warranty. I'm not sure if it's any different on the 9500 as I've got a 9505 but there is currently NO way to get rid of Knox, once you've got it, you're stuck with it.

Maby not ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504258 and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2510867
you can root after upgrading to knox
you can also install a custom recovery
knox counter (which is not really a counter if my understanding is correct) will increase to 1, meaning you will loose the waranty
so I was running the last S4 official firmware, I root'ed it using CF auto root, then installed philz touch recoveryn than i flashed the goole edition rom from jamal
and of course I lost the waranty, hope I wont need it

Hello again,
I'm not sure if I can replace my Note 3 under warranty FOC with the status screen at recovery showing the following messages :
Current Binary : Samsung Official
System Status : Custom
Knox Kernel Lock : 0x0
Knox Warranty Void : 0x0
I'm just worried about the System Status : Custom message. Is that a problem?
I unrooted using the method explained in this thread and this link directly takes to my post in that thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46511887#post46511887
Do I have to do anything else for replacement under warranty?
Thank you for any information.
Remove SD card and reboot. Then check status again.
Or you can just Flash stock room through Odin and it will all be official again.

Thank you. I flashed the official latest rom and everything is official again.
But why do I read so many times that flashing custom roms will void warranty, if this can be reverted by flashing official roms?
Is it that the knox will be tripped to 0x1? I flashed using the method I mentioned above but my knox stayed at 0x0...

Most custom roms require a custom recovery to be installed, this will trip Knox. Also most custom roms have altered kernels, this too will trip Knox.
You have simply gained root without replacing the recovery or the kernel.

There's a bit of murky waters regarding the warranty if knox is tripped. But recently Samsung have said knox tripping does not affect warranty. But to be on the safe side some people decide to not trip knox. There are ways to root and flash custom roms without trooping knox but not if you are on one of the latter bootloaders.
Once knox is tripped there is no going back as it stands. ..... But if you like to customize your phone and make it look and feel much nicer .... Who gives a foookk .....I for one don't?
Also knox can be tripped flashing stock firmware using odin.... If you are unlucky. ..

Thank you all for the Knox explanations. That cleared up some doubts of mine.
Hello, I'm on mkf rooted with safe root, my knox counter is 0x0. Can i update to ml1 without loose root and without sign knox counter?
Taptalked
If you mean upgrade to the stock rom ml1 you won't trip anything. If you want to keep your root privilleges i suggest you don't upgrade because you will lose it. If you want to lose root you should use triangleaway by chainfire to reset the root counter or read how to do it in the thread of the method you used to root your phone.
Then you are free to upgrade your rom with no worries of tripping knox.
Knox will be tripped with downgrade and flashing unofficial firmware.
Even if i flash stock ml1 with mobile odin i will loose root? And knox counter will be ticked?

If you'll flash genuine, full, untouched, unrooted stock - KNOX shall remain 0x0.
Root will be lost, obviously, and as soon as you'd use traditional rooting -you wil trigger the KNOX to 0x1.
So far, for 4.3 ROMs, the only method to root it without KNOX triggering is kingo root, however its use may rise some doubts about privacy and personal data access...
I confirm i updated from mkf to ml1 with mobile odin, knox counter still 0x0 and still rooted
Taptalked
i confirm it work even with 4.4.2 stock rom. With this rom i have even permissive kernel and wanam xposed work for official status so ota updates are working . Knox still 0x0

Hi,
I have rooted my German Galaxy Note 3 n9005 with Towelroot, and subsequently upgraded with Mobile Odin from NB7 to latest firmware NF4 and also flashed the latest X-Note custom Rom. Until now I have kept my Knox at 0x0 since I have never flashed custom kernels or recovery. I have also deactivated all Knox-related apps and processes. Now I have the following question: IfI flash at this stage a custom recovery with Mobile Odin Pro would it trigger Knox counter and if yes then why? I mean how can I trip Knox if Knox is no more present on my phone?

Custom Recovery is meant to trip KNOX at all costs. I understand you used the MOP route to get to X-Note with KNOX at 0x0, but recovery or custom kernels WILL trip KNOX as it detected a breach in the bootloader-kernel-recovery TrustZone.
MOP with custom ROM and 0x0 is a case where you can bypass KNOX, but that's as far as it goes. Any sort of kernel or recovery flash will trip KNOX.

Many thanks for the answer. I was hoping that I won't trip Knox since I keep the old Kitkat bootloader and the new NF4 stock kernel untouched. Interesting how this Knox system works... From what you said I understand that you cannot FULLY deaktivate Knox even if you freeze or delete the appropriate files and it sort of gets resurrected if you flash custom recovery, right?

It's at the bootloader level. Think of it as a lever that only get switched on when you flash a kernel or a custom recovery.

I read about root, but can't find infos about knox.
Just use cf auto root and odex, that's it ?
KNOX is Samsungs way of voiding your warranty, when their hardware is at fault, but you have flashed something custom
0x0 = valid
0x1 = void
Soon as you flash anything custom, 0x1 - and it's irreversible
If you don't care, root using CF Auto Root and ODIN
Or TWRP 2.8.7.0 & ODIN, then SuperSU zip from TWRP recovery
Like I say, everything is posted thousands of times over, if you'd checked the thread below this one, you'd have known what KNOX was

So there is no way to root without loosing knox/warranty?
If you have a pre June 2014 KitKat ROM running, you can root using Towelroot app, then upgrade to Lollipop using Flashfire to keep root / not trip KNOX
That's the only other method

Flashing a stock Samsung ROM will not trip KNOX, so you're safe to flash any stock ROM without worrying about KNOX, KNOX is only tripped by flashing custom stuff not signed by Samsung
But to upgrade to Lollipop without losing root or tripping KNOX, you have to use Flashfire after running Towelroot on KK, otherwise you'll lose root, and then have no other options than flashing back to KK or tripping KNOX by using CF Auto Root
