[Root] Knox stays (0x0) with Kingo android root

I was looking for a safe root so that my knox counter remained at 0x0
First flased the stock firmware with odin XXUEMK4 from SamMobile
and then with kingo root rooted my Note 2
and it works my counter remained 0x0
I used this youtube movie as an example, if I did everything right, and everything went well with my
Link to Kingo android root

1- Download and install Samsung Kies or Samsung Mobile driver
2- Download "kingo"
3- On your device go to Settings/More/About device/
4- Tap 5 times on "build number" to enable "Developer option"
5- Enable "USB Debug Mode" from developer options
6- Connect your device to PC by USB cable and wait until "kingo" display the model of your device
7- Click the green Button and wait few seconds
8- After it reboot, you can unplug USB cable

Is there really already a Knox-workaround way to root the new 4.3 firmwares?
HAHAHA! That's awesome!

if this is true why nobody care about this method ? hurmmmm

Kingo Works Confirmed!!!
Just rooted my phone using Kingo
Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100
Build XXUEMK4 (India)
Knox Bootloader
WITHOUT tripping the Knox Counter!!!
Though Device status shows "Custom"
Can be taken care of by Using Xpose Framework & Wanam
Thanks.

Does this apply to GT-N7105 Galaxy Note 2 LTE?

to use xpose or wanam you must have deodexed rom

Nope. Has nothing to do with odex/deodex.
BTW. If this method works, it's the first workaround without tripping knox.
No more using older bootloaders I guess. Nice find!

Ok so please check your phone through Odin to see if really your counter stays 0x0 an show us a screenshot.
This will be the definitive confirmation.

Kingo works 100%
Have been using this rooted phone for more than a few days without any problems.
Had downloaded the OTA though.
Had not flashed MK4 firmware via Odin but it should not make a difference.
Have not tried the wanam & xpose process ... will try it today and give u all an update.
I am purely on a stock rom (odexed)
Just wanted to root the device without any custom notifications or tripping any counters
I guess this Kingo method serves the purpose...so far until something better turns up.
This is purely for those who are on STOCK Rom & want to root their Phones and are afraid of tripping their Knox Counter etc.
Follow this post for further instructions on rooting via Kingo & Wanam & Xpose (for making Device Status from Custom/Modified to Official)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509244
Major.
PS. Device status showing Custom/Modified will not allow you to update your phone via OTA.
If you want to Make it official as I mentioned u can use Wanam & Xpose
OR
Flash the original Stock ROM via ODIN (You will lose the ROOT though)

PROOF!!!

looks correctly , thanks for posting it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but since we have root on a non modified Knox status phone, we can pull the bootloader and system info, then try to break the fuse and compare it to the untouched status one? @Chainfire

Could be possible...
As after rooting by this method I personally feel this Knox thing is more kind of software related rather than Hardware.
If Kingo can bypass this and root so can our senior Dev Team too can.
Although, I don't understand much of this mambo-jumbo in programming..am always ready to help.

root on kitkat knox

Hello, everyone,
my note 3 runs android 4.4.2, has 0x0 (since that it has not yet been rooted) and I'd like to keep it that way.
So, my question is: is there a rooting method that will not trip my knox?
Thanks in advance for help.

There is not a way to root it without tripping KNOX, it's possible only for Jelly Bean

And downgrading is not possible either, so I'm kinda stuck for now, huh...
Well, anyway, thanks for the quick reply!

Probably atleast 10 guides. It will take less than 5 minutes to root.

CFautoroot.
3 mins to read, 1 min to download, less than 1 min to flash via odin.
Sent from N7105, DN3 with AGNi kernel.

I was hesitating to root or not to root, but I don't like Android without root, so I have rooted it with CFautoroot and we are both happy with tripped KNOX so I suggest to root

Hi
I used CF auto root. It works fine ..
Now, I´ve got the following status:
current binary: custom
system status: custom
know warranty void: 0x1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I dont care about the the knox status, but I want to change the custom status to update my phone with Samsung updates. I downloaded TriangleAway v3.26 but I cant choose the option (see attachment). As I understand I can use the App to block the status but it doesnt work. And I have no idea what "System executable needed to implement workaround not found" means. Where can I find the workaround and where shall I store it on my device ?
The second message I dont understand too. I dont find another version in the play store... I think its the same version like in the board?
Maybe someone could help me

Yeah, but you need to uninstall the version you have and pay for the google play version..... It is a paid app on google play store...

You can also install xposed framework and use the cosmetic system normal mod. This will make it look "Official" in settings...
I don't know if this will allow OTA, most people just use ODIN to flash what they want - but you most definitely will loose root doing an OTA.

If the device is rooted. I would never suggest OTA updates. Odin is the way to go.

Having stock ROM doesn't mean no rooting.
Of course root is required! Rignt now I use S5 ROM for S4 Samy deluxe ROM operation Ivy, but I'd like to use stock ROM with some S5 features! (UPSM, toolbox, Download Booster)
Anyway, thanks man!

When did I say stock rom means no rooting?
What does towelroot do? Just plain root because if you modify any-stock-thing, it'll trip knox.
But then I dont think the UPSM mod is for the odexed rom as of now..
But yeah most of the s5 features are in the zip flash form too..
Plus all you have to do is check their zips for the apk, some apks do work without flashing too..

Removing s finder and Quick connect in Lollipop

I've just updated to Lollipop in the UK and it's added "S finder" and "Quick connect" buttons to the notifications tray.
I've seen people saying you can modify the build.prop to remove them on the Note 4. Does anyone know if the same method works on the Note 3?

i want help unrooting galaxy s8

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?
