1. No.
2. Samsung Pay.
3. All custom ROMs are TW - no CM/AOSP right now.

Sorry I'll ask here but there's one thing I don't understand: if I follow the root instructions, besides tripping knox and not being able to use samsung pay, do I loose all data because phone will require a total reset?

I didn't lose any data from rooting. I did chose to wipe after installing a custom rom. But normally the user data is left alone. This is probably due to not having an sd card.

Hi,
I would like to know if there is any known way at the moment to get a rooted kitkat 4.4.2 firmware without tripping knox. I'm momentarily running MKE 4.3, German csc I think. I'm aware of saferoot for this firmware, but I would like to know if there's something like it for official kitkat, or if it is possible to root my 4.3 and then upgrade via mobile odin and inject root via everroot everroot without tripping knox. If not I'll just update via OTA and root via another method but if it's possible I'd like to keep knox for now

No, uptil now there is no such method developed. Check on Kingo root website whether they ve updated to root 4.4.2 firmware.

Oké, Thanks anyway
I don't really trust kingoroot as I thought that it had spyware installed, just as vroot, but then I heard about saferoot and I I was hoping I could keep root via mobile odin, but too bad. I'll just just root via cf-root then

Does not trip the knox counter..but don't expect to use custom recoveries. It is a simple root only.

Thanks! I read about it in the featured articles but I wasn't sure it would work or not. I was just planning to use the root to clean the ROM up a bit to free up some system memory and RAM and make some apps system apps, better backups and fiddle a bit with my storage, and maybe using some modules, do you know if using Xposed trips knox?

Xposed doesn't... but I would be weary of modules that perform bootloader or deep system changes
Titanium Backup.. and use backup app and then remove/disable etc
Just be careful... if the knox counter is v important to you.

It's not that important to me, I just don't want to trip it if I don't have to, if I need to trip it for something I really want to do I don't have a problem with it , it's not like use knox thanks you very much

Actually KNOX is very important for warranty issues. If you dont have warranty then I wouldnt worry about it. If you DO have warranty then do not mess with KNOX-tripping root methods.
Hey guys, I want to root my N900T Note 3 without breaking Knox if possible. Can this be done? I just want a simple root, no custom ROM needed, just to remove the stock bloatware, ads, and useless crap that came on my TMobile Note 3. Can you all lwt me know if this can be done?
Regards,
Chris

it all depends on the version your have, if you are on 4.4.2, there is no way without tripping knox, but if you are on 4.3 mj2 and before you can

Yeah I'm on 4.4.2... So there's absolutely no way to remove all the useless Samsung and TMobile bloatware?

Not without tripping Knox no.
Hi guys so I'm really sorry if this has been asked millions of times but what I want to know is, does tripping the KNOX flag open a huge risk to normal system functionality not working? Now I know KNOX tripping, prevents you from using KNOX related stuff but does it stop you from an average joe using their phone normally, installing apps, sideloading apps, using the camera. That sort of thing.
The other thing is, I want to have a go at flashing custom ROMs to my device. My warranty runs out next month so this would be perfect, providing the above question is true (that it doesn't disable full functionality) I will go and follow normal tutorials.
Now I've been reading about SafeStrap and how it creates the ability to flash ROMs without touching vital system parts that would trip KNOX. Is this true? Could I really root without tripping, install SafeStrap and finally install custom ROMs without tripping KNOX or am I in a dream world haha?

Tripping knox does not affect phone performance, as for safestrap, as far as I know that has to be used on locked bootloader phones (like US carrier ones).
Once knox is tripped knox is tripped, I have heard the proggy that does not trip knox when rooting is Towelroot, but some people are having big problems with battery life.

Yes, it seems to be possible that you can flash custom roms without tripping Knox.

Without tripping knox you can get root, and modify the actual rom filesystem, for example you can change all /system of the rom using mobile odin pro.
You cannot change kernel or recovery, or you get knox 0x1.
Flashing roms with mobile odin pro is possible only if rom is compatible with your current official kernel you have, or the results would be bad (wifi not working or so on..).

Hi
i remember unrooting my galaxy s6 by flashing stock rom with all its files, i mean the csc file and the others ? , but i dont know if that method is still working because of the new security updates, knox and whatnot
am really bad at this, but i just wanna be able to use bixby and it says i have to update my software
so, how is it done ?
thank u all
Just flash Stock Samsung Rom.
Knox can't be changed however. That's gone forever.
True
in quick you can't
root access can be removed by flashing stock firmware but as knox is tripped when rooting, there is no way to reset knox counter.
if you flash stock firmware, no root access of course but you won't be able to use Samsung pay, Samsung health, secure folder and samsung pass, and this is permanent and forever, as these apps check knox status and not root access. I suggest you to keep using custom rom as you will be able to use apps like samsung health and maybe samsung pay
Depending on your rom, you should still be able to use bixby.
What variant you're on?

What model? G950F/FD? G950U? There is a very simple way to root G950U/G950W devices already in existence. It's called SamFail and is listed with an accompanying rom in the threads section.

Sadly, currently there is no way of rooting Exynos S8 without tripping knox..
Unfortunately as mentioned above and beyond there is no way currently without tripping Knox. Sadly, I use Samsung Pay alot and like the idea of keeping that option hence no rooting as long as this device is my DD.

A question if anyone can help me.
I really need to Root my Galaxy S8 (SM-G950F) cause i need to try to recover some photos and most apps to recover need the root done.
I know that root trips Knox, but if i install an official firmware after been tripped, will phone get back to normal, or it will tripped forever??
Thanks

It physically trips knox warranty, so if it’s tripped once, you can’t recover it unless you replace motherboard.

Nope, you won't be able to use it again, even after you install an official firmware afterwards.
