Root and disable Knox - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Help me to root my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 XXUGNH6.. I have tried all the rooting apps like: Kingroot, Iroot, Towelroot, Oneclick root etc!!
I even tried CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505 from #Odin, It also failed..
Actually I get superSu installed but while updating binaries it detect Knox and ask for to diaable when i click to disable it fails Again to disable knox I used various method downloaded superlocklite apk, Packages disabler apk, Non the app worked :'( Plz help..

Are you flashing the latest version of supersu.zip?

Yes sir!

I suggest flashing back to a completely stock 5.01 ROM, then flash TWRP, then supersu. I did this on several s4 i337m (Canadian version of the s4) running 5.01 and it always disabled knox and gave root access. I know the 9505 and i337m have the same processor.

Did you give these apps root access with supersu?

Is is supposed to prompot for root access as it is set on Supersu, but it only says the system deny to root(gamecih2)(other apps kind of the same).
Supersu it is on default settings, and when open check root and click verify root it says it's root(no prompot for root access).
You can install the app Root Checker. When it says your decide isn't rooted, then try to do it again with odin

[Q] Not rooted properly, and wan't stock bootloader back, and unroot!. (Not Firmware,

Hi, I accidently rooted and installed cwm on my galaxy s4 gt i9-505, without disabling knox, and now I want to go back to the orginal samsung bootloader, (I don't not want to know how to get the stock firmware), I want to unroot and restore the bootloader, really need help asap, would be apperiated thanks.
Update: I'm on Android L 5.0.1, and installed cwm before rooting which was a silly mistake, because knox then countered that, and it's conflicting root problems when I tryed to root afterwards, but now I just want to go back to the Samsung bootloader, root issue fix but still don't know how to fix bootloader.
Not sure what is there to fix - if phone boots correctly it is good.
If you try to revert back to knox 0x0 I'm afraid it is not possible.
Flashing root and cwm doesn't replace your bootloader
How do you accidentally flash root and a customised recovery?

You are really mixing things up.
A custom recovery has nothing to do with Knox. A custom recovery gives no problems with Knox. It's impossible.
You are on the samsung bootloader. You cannot change it to a custom (there isn't even any).
If you want root just flash cf auto root and then delete knox. That's all.

Stock ROM pre-rooted?

Hi to everyone, I have a galaxy A5(2016) A510F and I want to root it but this will trip knox so I want to ask if we root a stock rom and flash it via odin does this detect root and trip knox ? (we will modify the system.img that we find in.tar file)
It probably won't trigger KNOX, but root access would be unstable, at best. Try using KingRoot instead - if it works on your device, it will root it and keep the KNOX counter the same, and if it doesn't, it'll just tell you that it can't root your phone.
I don't want try it because my phone it's new so can someone try it and post the result ? Maybe someone that have already trigger knox, this don't want to be a problem for him/her
EDIT: I think Kingroot don't work http://forum.xda-developers.com/sam...ment/galaxy-a5-2016-success-kingroot-t3400564

I tried king root, but after reebooting my phone was unrooted. I suggest you to flash cf autoroot because, yes, it trips knox counter, but If u soft-brick your device in any way, you can always solve it using odin and flashing stock firmware/PIT...
They are two different things, maybe you are confused because it doesn't mean that if you flash cf autoroot and soft-brick your devices you can unbrick it just flashing stock rom, yes this is true but you can unbrick you phone in anytime without having cf autoroot!
I didn't mean that, i know odin doesn't request root permission, I said that if he flashes cf autoroot and he soft-bricks his device ( I know it's almost impossible ) he will resolve the problem by flashing stock formware (or a custom ROM after wiped cache, dalvik, data and system)
Unfortunately not possible to pre-root a stock Samsung 5.1.1 or 6.0 rom and preserve knox. It will boot loop your device. Selinux will block root and prevent the device from booting unless the boot.img is patched to remove the selinux root restriction.
However patching the boot.img trips knox, catch 22 situation.
Keep hoping for kingroot or Kingoroot if you want to preserve the knox counter.
Thanks for the reply
Can anyone try this http://www.samsungsfour.com/tutorials/how-to-root-all-samsung-galaxy-smartphones-without-pc.html ? I don't want to trip my knox!
If it works it wont trip knox as it doesn't touch the binaries.
Unfortunatelly, I can't try because i've already tripped the knox

Samsung A300FU v6 Root possible?

Morning everyone,
I have searched and searched, is it possible to root these A3's as yet?
I bought this s a replacement for my son as he broke his s5 mini sitting on it lol.
Best wishes
If tripping KNOX is not a worry, you can flash TWRP, and flash the SuperSU package. (Optionally, you can flash back the stock recovery, and retain the root.)
There is no solution without tripping KNOX yet, CF-AutoRoot has not been updated for A300FU Marshmallow yet.

Hi,
I tried downgrading to lollipop without success, as it would stay on samsung logo.
So i had to use smart switch to re-install marshmellow.
Tripping knox is no issue, Therefore as supersu not been updated it would leave me with only option to go back to lollipop?
If so, is there a tut i could follow as doing usal way with odin etc did simply not work.
The A3 is on 02 network
Best wishes
Go for the 4 file package then, it is the only thing that keeps saving peoples phones around here.
Use SamFirm for to download them (make sure you tick binary update)

You can also flash twrp with Odin and flash supersu with twrp.
