Ok, Im confused, some people are claiming that rooting alone will trip the knox efuse, while others say no. They say that only custom recovery will.
Im planning on roothing and use a script to debloat my phone. I was hoping I wont trip the efuse.

Read this bro http://androidcommunity.com/samsung...e-reset-warranty-voided-permanently-20131009/.
Appearantly rooting and flashing custom software leads to a increased counter that voids warranty which can`t be reset atm. Better think twice before you root
Appearently this root method will not increment the internal Knox counter http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2479952. Read the OP well before doing this.
Hello! This might be somewhat of a "noob" question, but I'm curious as to what trips the KWV counter. Will flashing ANYTHING through Odin trip the counter? My counter is still at 0x0 and my variety of root privileges are very limited. I can't OC my GPU/CPU, I can't really customize the looks of my phone and it makes me sad :crying: It'll be really helpful to know what really trips the knox so I'll be able to avoid them

Oh alright thanks! Didn't see that haha
My happily rooted GS4's screen died and I took it Sprint for a replacement. They gave me a refurbished GS4 SPH-L720 with Android 4.4.2 and this build/baseband L720VPUFNAE. I've spent some time searching and I'm still not sure I've got the latest info on this:
Can I root? Based on this thread I think I can use CF Root but I'm not sure.
Will rooting trip the Knox flag and possibly void my warranty? Based on my searches, yes, I think it will trip the Knox flag. As of now there's no way around it.
Can I downgrade without tripping the Knox flag? No, I don't think I can.
Can anyone confirm that this the latest status on NAE? I'd rather avoid tripping the Knox flag, just because, but I'd like to have root back for RoamControl, Titanium Backup, and Tasker. And anyway, if the phone fails again I'm pretty no one at Sprint will be looking at the Knox flag when I go in to switch it out (or will they???).

1 yes.
2. yes.
3 no.
all the answers are here. looks like you've found them
I have heard that magisk versions above v12 can do it but never tried eventually so if you know if it can or something that can root without tripping knox please tell me.
and one more question does Kingroot trip knox. I dont want to root with Kingroot but yea...
There is no way to root without tripping Knox.
Magisk can hide knox counter from apps, but it cannot reset the counter, nor can it root without tripping it.
Kingroot will trip it as well.
Kingroot won't work for s8.
You can root then set knox to 0x0 on the PHONE only. Download mode will still show 0x1 and knox tripped.
Only thing you lose rooting is Samsung pay. And maybe warranty depending on region.

Yeah it will always start on all devices, then most likely fail around 40%. Only phone I ever got to work with kingroot was an old alcatel pixi.
There's a few advantages of rooting s8 but depends what you use root for. If you do want to root I suggest TWRP and magisk.

So many people so many answers.
This is the most popular and most advanced answer I've yet encoutered:
Flashing twrp 100% trips knox
Rooting, if done the right way, can leave KNOX intact
