Just got the sm-g935f and started into the setup steps. It asks i think if i want to install knox? I did not think this was optional. What do you guys think should i go ahead and install or skip it?

There's Knox as in the e-fuse and Knox as in the secure container which allows you to keep work and play separate on your phone.
The installation refers to the latter. They are related because if you root and trip the Knox e-fuse, you can't ever use the Knox secure container (amongst other things).

The Samsung phone info app does this check I think.

I'm not sure on your screen shot sorry. This is a pic of that app's info. The app is small, free, and has decent reviews.

Hello everyone and thanks for helping me out in my last post. OK so I wait and get my mja update, which by the way fixed all the bugs on the gs4. Now I am thinking I want to root but I can't find a guide online anywhere, a Lil help would be appreciated.

You haven't searched or read much. You can use CF auto root.

The only way to root MJA is to use CF and trip the Knox counter.

OK just a few more questions. So in the distant future will it be possible to turn knox back to 0x0 and unroot phone?

Maybe. But it doesn't matter. At this point in time, it has been confirmed that Sprint will not be denying service for devices with the Knox counter tripped.

Yep your right. Only thing I'm having trouble with now is where is my cwm to flash cyanogenmod.
I also have great news for all gs4 users who aren't rooted yet and running mja. I ran cf auto root on my pc with all anti-virus turned off and everything worked perfect, no SU or knox problems at. I was on sprint mja build.
Read up, make sure u have the right software and drivers and you should be fine.

From galaxys3man30:
Mr.kennyglass123 just got some confirmed info that sprint will repair/replace your phone with the knox counter set 0x1 so that's some positive news. I've have been able to successfully root and add a custom kernel to 4.3 without any issues and it's not as bad as it seems just people where making the mistake of trying to go back to a earlier update and with the new bootloader that just not possible right now. So, it's not that scary to do this update but I can understand where ur coming from thou buddy. I will be here to help you with it if you need me buddy I have successfully remove all of knox from the ota rom so far so it's that hard to get removed and such. Just trying to give some encouraging info buddy.

An important clarification, Sprint will do this! Samsung will NOT!!!! It is very important you understand the difference. If you are paying for Sprint TEP (Total Equipment Protection), Best Buy Protection, or even Square Trade Insurance then the Knox flag shouldn't be a problem. If you do not have any of the insurance packages and you are solely relying on the Samsung warranty for your phone than you should know that Samsung will reject any warranty claim if the Knox flag is tripped or they can tell that you rooted it. They will fix your phone for a fee.
I want to use certain apps like Sky Go and Barclays Banking but they only work on unrooted devices.
Before on 4.2.2 I could use Voodoo Rootkeeper to hide it, which was great.
However, that is incompatible with 4.3.

I had similar issues on N7100 (Note 2) and the way round a rooted note 2 accessing Barclays (root detector) was installing an older version of Barclays app, in essence the app looks for SuperSU or Superuser app I believe.

How about freezing or uninstalling SuperSU? Would that work?

Would cause issues I think, If the app looks for SuperSU or Superuser then it will still find it. You could always just run clean up and unroot then re-root I guess - But it depends on if you wanna re-root again or if you have 0x0 vs 0x1 etc -
I have 0x1, and I'd be willing to clean up but I guess I need computer to re-root?

By rooting your phone and assuming you ended up with Knox 0x1, you can no longer use Knox.
You can use KNOX, it just isn't classed as *secure* -- Superuser has disabled KNOX on you, you'll have to find KNOX stuff in either TiB or in Application manager and re-enable it again. If that doesn't fix, then you'll have to unroot (if you choose to re-root don't agree to freezing KNOX when prompted)

If knox counter is triped....it will not work anymore. ..no way to reverse besides a change of main board

Oh so once knox is tripped you can no longer use it? I thought it was just a warranty thing
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
Well this is a bit of a bummer. There has to be some way to turn it back. I didn't know it couldn't be reenabled. Oh well. I don't need the warranty.
Hi I wanted to know if there is any way to root without triggering the knox warranty thing ....just want to root ..
Never had a phone with warranty before so don't wanna mess this up.

No way to do that directly. HOWEVER for N900 it seems to be possible to reset knox flag and downgrade - look after the relevant threads around!

As long as the fault will not stop you from doing it - for instance if the USB connector is no longer working you will not be able to get that back

Take it back and get another one, don't even do anything to it. There is a reason the previous owner got rid of it and they probably are why something is wrong with it.

Weird, hope its no scam. Sure box was closed? I did see some nasty tricks on that one. Only by really close looking one could see it was opened before. Did you check knox in settings menu? 0x1 I am afraid?
