Anyway to get a temporary root? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I remember the S6 had a way to get a temporary root so that you could edit some build.prop stuff without tripping Knox. Is there anything like this for the 935F?

Root.

Hi.
I need to root my device, because I use Airdroid and other stuff programs, and I can write on Sdcard. So I need root to fix this problem on Android 4.4.2.
Is there any way to root without avoid warranty, and leave knox 0x0?
I need this help, please.
Thanks.

[Q] Galaxy S4 VE (I9515) - Root, bootloader status and ROMs

Hello,
I've was forced to create a post about that because there is almost nothing of use that can be found about that phone in the internet.
I need to know how to check the bootloader status on this device so i can safely root it, and if there are any working ROMs. I've found out that it is possible to install 9505 roms on that phone, however the touch and other crucial features do not work while using them.
Cheers, Paweł.
Thanks in advance, i appreciate Your help!
Go into download mode and if you see Knox warranty void you have new bootloader.this has nothing hover to do with safe root or not.you can still however root the device.but counter will be tripped if flashing custom recovery and kernel.

Oh thanks! :good: I will do so. But about that safe root. I wanted to use the CF Auto Root for that and it was said there that if the device has a locked bootloader it will brick if i'll try to unlock the root access.
Should i try another way to root my device or give it a try and see what happens if i'll root it using cf auto root. I know that almost none or all ways to root the device are not safe, but following some of them have higher chances of success than others that's what i meant by safe root.

I think you have misunderstood or misread.or users haven't understand that root is still possible. It isn't locked in any way. The bootloader still let's you flash custom kernels etc.
Rooting with cf root shouldn't and has never bricked your phone on newer recoveries. The bootloader isn't locked in the way of flashing in Odin you can still flash custom kernels and recoveries but it will trip the Knox counter.
However: tripping Knox will cause you being unable to use Knox apps from Samsung and might void your warranty.
Users have told different reports about them being tripped and got warranty and some haven't. I'm not sure if this lies in 3rd party repair centers repairing the phone even if it's tripped. I'm sure Samsung service center is against it.
I'd be 100% sure that my phone carrier would repair it no matter the status since it doesn't go trough Samsung service at first.
However to gain root you should try towelroot it's a one click apk and it won't trip Knox unless you flash a custom kernel or recovery.

Does pushing apps through ADB trip knox?

I want to install the new nexus launcher in priv-app, to get access to google now features. Does pushing apps through ADB into the priv-app folder trip knox? Don't want to trip knox because that warranty is useful for just in case.
You can't push to priv apps unless you are rooted, which would trip Knox.

OK thanks for clearing that up. Don't want to void Knox on my s7 just in case

AdAway without root

Just picked up my S7 edge and I'd forgotten how unbearable life can be without a good ad blocker. Between the mixed results people are reporting with root and my desire to be able to use Samsung Pay I'm reluctant to go that route. That said, thanks to the eng bootloader, it sounds like we can root/unroot without tripping Knox.
So my question is, would it be possible to root and run AdAway then unroot and maintain the host file blocking?
It's not unrooting that fixes the issues, it's reflashing to stock bootloader. Doing so will most likely cause you to factory reset, erasing the hosts file. But you are welcome to try.
Good idea either way.

Using knox apps like Secure Folder after rooting.

I am planning on rooting my S8, but my main concern is that I will not be able to use apps like Secure Folder. Is there a way to still use those apps when I have rooted my S8? I don't really care about my warranty or tripping knox.
After you root you wont be able to use any of the following
1)Samsung Pay
2)S-Health
3)Samsung Pass
4)Secure Folder
and after you root the Knox E-Fuse will be tripped
but their are work arounds for the following
1)S-Health
2) Samsung Pass
witch is to install a custom rom i have installed
ALEXISROM_5.6.1

That's unfortunate. I assume that even if I unroot, secure folder won't work?

I've used the batman ? rom and still had secure folder ?
That was on a galaxy s7 edge with a ported s8 rom tho.
Never felt the need to root my s8.
I believe that you could flash the Superstock Kernel and then install Secure Folder from APKMirror or a similar site on the S7. Not sure if it would work on the S8.
