rooting without tripping knox isnt possible afaik. Why does tripping know concern you? Warranty claims for S5's have rarely been hindered by a knox counter issue

You could try to use cowroot, but it's temporary, and it was patched with december security patch...I haven't tried it though...but it could works:good:
EDIT:
If it works it won't trip knox but when you have root permission if you try to install custom recovery with something like "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery" from terminal emulator and you reboot into recovery mode, you will trip knox (same thing with the kernel).

Hi,
I would like to know if there is any known way at the moment to get a rooted kitkat 4.4.2 firmware without tripping knox. I'm momentarily running MKE 4.3, German csc I think. I'm aware of saferoot for this firmware, but I would like to know if there's something like it for official kitkat, or if it is possible to root my 4.3 and then upgrade via mobile odin and inject root via everroot everroot without tripping knox. If not I'll just update via OTA and root via another method but if it's possible I'd like to keep knox for now

No, uptil now there is no such method developed. Check on Kingo root website whether they ve updated to root 4.4.2 firmware.

Oké, Thanks anyway
I don't really trust kingoroot as I thought that it had spyware installed, just as vroot, but then I heard about saferoot and I I was hoping I could keep root via mobile odin, but too bad. I'll just just root via cf-root then

Towelroot. by geohot
Does not trip the knox counter..but don't expect to use custom recoveries. It is a simple root only.

Thanks! I read about it in the featured articles but I wasn't sure it would work or not. I was just planning to use the root to clean the ROM up a bit to free up some system memory and RAM and make some apps system apps, better backups and fiddle a bit with my storage, and maybe using some modules, do you know if using Xposed trips knox?

Xposed doesn't... but I would be weary of modules that perform bootloader or deep system changes
Titanium Backup.. and use backup app and then remove/disable etc
Just be careful... if the knox counter is v important to you.

It's not that important to me, I just don't want to trip it if I don't have to, if I need to trip it for something I really want to do I don't have a problem with it , it's not like use knox thanks you very much

Actually KNOX is very important for warranty issues. If you dont have warranty then I wouldnt worry about it. If you DO have warranty then do not mess with KNOX-tripping root methods.
Hi,
I just got my S5 and i want to root.
i had S4 before and i used CF-Auto root.
but i was looking at some threads and they were saying that there is Knox Free root?

If you want to flash custom recovery`s or custom roms KNOX will be tripped unfortunately
So, to sum up, if you want to root without tripping KNOX, you need to stay stock and not even install custom recovery. if you plan to install custom recovery, no need to go though the effort of not tripping KNOX and just use CF-Auto root.
Towel root should root pre June 6th builds of S5 4.4.2 firmware, without incrementing Knox.
Installing any custom kernel or recovery or using CF autoroot will increment the Knox counter. Less commonly, some failed firmware writes, corrupted partitions, soft bricks or kernel crashes may also increment the counter.
.
Device: SM-G901F (I believe the prime version of the s5 in UK, checked with an app I have 805 processor)
Firmware: 4.4.4 everything official, owned for less than 1 week.
I only want one thing by rooting: xPrivacy. That's all.
I want to keep my warranty fully intact and here's what I know:
Towelroot can root without tripping knox but I read something about it only working on June firmware etc. I'm not sure if it's compatible with my s5 either as there's not many mentions of my model number device.
Will installing xposed/xprivacy trip knox? What's is the easiest method of installing these?
Finally, I know that flashing trips knox, but if I wanted to fully unroot, wouldn't I have to flash a stock ROM? Is there a method of fully unrooting without tripping Knox?
Thank you.

1. You need CF Auto Root to root the phone, you can download it here http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/. Download and flash the right file with Odin 3.09.
This will trip KNOX though, Towelroot will not work for you as your kernel is too young and patched for the volnurability.
2. Installing the Xposed.apk framework and its modules will not trip KNOX.
3. Flashing official firmware with Odin will not trip KNOX.
4. Full unroot: Use Triangle Away to reset the system and status to official and unroot from the superSU app. Then flash a stock rom and after that factory reset in recovery.

Thanks for the clear info!
1. Is it definitely patched? It's because of my model right? Isn't there a way of rooting my model without tripping knox?
4. Is there a step by step tutorial of this somewhere, and will it trip knox? I was researching some ways if unrooting and came across something to do with unroot ing using supersu and then flashing stock with Odin. Is that any different?
Many thanks!

1. Yup Towelroot only works on firmwares till ANE2, yours is build after that date
2. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980683 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414 for more info about CF Auto Root and using Odin.
In order to root the phone KNOXwill be tripped, its inevitable.
That's a real shame. Really wanted xprivacy after coming from an iphone since I was used to having better privacy on there. Guess I'll have to wait in the hopes that something is released
Im thinking of buying a not4 but root access is a deal breaker for me (coming from htc never used sammy) so i would like to know that is there any method for root without tripping knox ???
just use the CF autoroot by flashing it through the odin, it took less than 3 secs. with me.

hi, as far as I know... no other root method( that does not trip Knox)
If you use CF auto root then it will trip Knox. I am not obsessed/cares, about Knox so i rooted with CF auto root
Good luck

hi,
As, in my above post i used Cf auto root( on all my devices,) I do not or have not or interested.... in temp root. (To me personally, its a waste of time! )
About, flashing a custom pre rooted Rom.. i am not interested in custom Roms. Exception been only, my Gear watch,that is running a custom ( pre rooted) Rom (Null 23)
Sorry, i cannot give more detail info, on pre root custom/modified for root (?) Roms, but as far as i know /guess.. it should trip Knox.. as you flashing a "custom " Rom and not official stock Rom ( Just for interest sake , an official stock Rom/Odin/flashing , does not trip Knox)
good luck

I read about root, but can't find infos about knox.
Just use cf auto root and odex, that's it ?
KNOX is Samsungs way of voiding your warranty, when their hardware is at fault, but you have flashed something custom
0x0 = valid
0x1 = void
Soon as you flash anything custom, 0x1 - and it's irreversible
If you don't care, root using CF Auto Root and ODIN
Or TWRP 2.8.7.0 & ODIN, then SuperSU zip from TWRP recovery
Like I say, everything is posted thousands of times over, if you'd checked the thread below this one, you'd have known what KNOX was

So there is no way to root without loosing knox/warranty?
If you have a pre June 2014 KitKat ROM running, you can root using Towelroot app, then upgrade to Lollipop using Flashfire to keep root / not trip KNOX
That's the only other method

Flashing a stock Samsung ROM will not trip KNOX, so you're safe to flash any stock ROM without worrying about KNOX, KNOX is only tripped by flashing custom stuff not signed by Samsung
But to upgrade to Lollipop without losing root or tripping KNOX, you have to use Flashfire after running Towelroot on KK, otherwise you'll lose root, and then have no other options than flashing back to KK or tripping KNOX by using CF Auto Root
