I have an S7 Edge ( Exynos ) and I'm missing some root functionnality but I don't want trip Knox and I still want to recieve those OTAs with the security patches... But as I know the available root method is CF-Auto-Root that trip Knox. And I see that some people are getting horrible batteryclife and slow performance after rooting...
Any chance TowelRoot will update for the S7 edge or is there any root method that doesn't trip knox ?

Rooting will not deminish your battery life or performance. The handful of users who claim such things do so out of ignorance. geohot isn't working on s7/s7e to my knowledge. You can download the monthly OTAs manually and ODIN them without having to factory reset. I'd say there's little to no chance you'll see a root method that doesn't trip knox on s7/s7e. :good:

I think it won't trip knox, since it was successful on S5 and some older device.
But if that towelroot can used to root this note 4.
I heard towelroot isn't updated anymore and can't root newer device.
But you always can try and report here..
Thabks a lot for the answer
Towelroot was patch about a week after it was out so it no longer works if you really care about knox wait for someone to do a Rom rooting it without tripping knox otherwise Chainfires root will trip knox
Hi,
I want to root my note 4 (n910f) but the only thing that is keeping me away from that is the knox counter.
Do you guys think that soon there will be a way to root the device without tripping knox?
Knox is made to trip.

There is a way to root the canadian note3 without tripping knox.
Hopefully, some one will work on and find a way to do it for the note 4.
Don't hold your breath.
Strange but I rooted my note 4 N910g 4.4.4 with cf-root and even after rooting, my private mode seems to be working just fine.
I am happy though as I was scared that i would loose my 4gb of data locked away in private mode which I did not.
I am not using any xposed, any mods or any tweaks yet. Just plain stock ANK4, rooted.
My lovely new Note 4 is still stock and not having root is unbearable (or more to the point Xposed Framework). Does anyone know if anyone is actively trying to find a non-knox tripping root for 5.1.1?
I rooted my Note 3, just before Towelroot came out a few years back
This would be a dream really. I need root without tripping knox SO BAD, i really need it with the 5.1.1 update.

hi,
Firstly, I am on Android v 5.1.1, rooted with custom recovery. To get root at the moment you have to flash permissive kernel. Yes logic says that will trip Knox... correct, (in my case Knox was trip in October 2014 when phone was launched.)
Secondly,
With Note5 already launched, i doubt if any effort will be made, re Note4 root (not tripping Knox)
Just the way i see it at moment
good luck
Currently it is not available and it won't be, trust me.
There is no real focus and interest on development of the Note 4.
Sorry if it has been asked before, but I couldn't find it through search.
So the question is, is it possible to root S7 Edge without tripping knox? Even a temporary root that doesn't trip knox would be acceptable (even though the phone will lose root after restarting).
Thanks!

Really? This has been answered a million times already . . .
Rooting AND custom ROM will trip KNOX, and you can't use i.e. Samsung Pay anymore...

Thanks. Well I was hoping that there might be a method for some type of temp root that wouldn't trip KNOX.
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.
