[Q] can use knox after tripping knox ?

Hello everyone. ive been searching these forums for quite a while and can safely conclude that theres no way for me (ATM) to root my note 3 without tripping knox.
i have a N9005 running the NC2 firmware, on 4.4.2
now i want to know is, if i flash a custom recovery and firmware ONLY, without flashing a custom ROM, can i still use KNOX (the app) ?
all i really want is root access, im quite happy with the ROM and performance ATM.
very sorry if this has been asked already, i couldnt find anything about it
thanks everyone

Any attempt to modify/temper the phone should render the Knox invalid thus Knox 0x1 as a flag that no Knox security warranty can be established on such devices.
Rooting is considered an attempt to modify the system.

So simple answer is No....
You root you can't use Knox app...

Help with rooting lollipop update.

Hi I Just did the 2nd update of lollipop 5.0 with software version ending in BOD3. But i have seem to have lost my root access. I'm very familiar with rooting my phone. But not sure what I need to do on this new process. If someone could lend me a hand that would be great. Thanks

How did you update? Did you have KNOX 0x0 before updating?
If you have tripped KNOX flag already (0x1) then just use CF Autoroot, i assume you have an SM-G900F since you mentioned BOD3.

I think you are looking for "Towelroot". I heard that there's a way to update to LP after rooting without tripping Knox with mobile Odin, but I've never tried it myself.
Ciuffy's SM-G900F CM 12.1 spirit hath marked this way.

Thanks mate. Anyone who can help me with the way. I have checked and unable tof ind the way out.

There's no way to root the SM-G900H without tripping knox. It's been over a year without it, there won't be one. Get another phone or root and trip knox.

Dont try method above - it'll trip knox to 0x1 - it will void warranty.
The more secure way is to download the oldest KitKat ROM and root via TowelRoot and then install any Knox 0x0 ROM e.g. Alexandr or Ambasadii.

My device is already 1x0 knox
My only worried is because the build number in my device isn't the same as the one on cf auto root and I don't want to get my phone bricked

By my knowledge - if you have a G900F you flash F version, What depend is only your android version...If you are using 4.4.2 use the File that i said that is 4.4.2 version Android
If you have a 5.0 Android Rom Flash the 5.0 Root ChainFire.
You Will only brick your smartphone if you flash the version M or A. But even that way probally that it will not brick entirely.
Have no Fear =) The thread that i said to you read have everything on there and you can do it.

Definitive answer for rooting & tripping knox needed - 910C

A few methods out there for rooting,I've read they do trip knox and that they don't trip knox.
Most methods state android LP used but MM is out for a while now.
So I'm a bit confused :silly:
I thought custom recovery tripped knox not rooting?
Specifically I'm after rooting my 910C on 6.0.1 (seems to be European Hungarian version)
N910CXXS2DPK1
N910COXX2DPI2
N910CXXU1DPC1
I do not want to install custom recovery as yet,just want to root.
3 methods I know of are
CF's auto root
towel root
king root
Read about systemless root but not read up on that as yet.
So which one DOES NOT trip knox?
Thanks

Towel root only doesn't trip knox but sadly it does not work on note 4.it works with older devices like s3 s4 note 3 running jellybean kitkat.
Preety much All other methods will trip knox even kingroot.
best .and safe way is flash twrp and flash supersu.zip systemless. And this will trip knox for sure.
If you want knox then forget root you have to choose 1 of them.
