Anyone tried a custom recovery (or rom) after rooting with towelroot without tripping knox?
We should have an unlocked bootloader, will it make some differences?
Custom recovery/kernel will trip knox even with towelroot.
Confirmed here. G900W8. Tripped KNOX with TWRP.
Hi to everyone, I have a galaxy A5(2016) A510F and I want to root it but this will trip knox so I want to ask if we root a stock rom and flash it via odin does this detect root and trip knox ? (we will modify the system.img that we find in.tar file)
It probably won't trigger KNOX, but root access would be unstable, at best. Try using KingRoot instead - if it works on your device, it will root it and keep the KNOX counter the same, and if it doesn't, it'll just tell you that it can't root your phone.
I don't want try it because my phone it's new so can someone try it and post the result ? Maybe someone that have already trigger knox, this don't want to be a problem for him/her
EDIT: I think Kingroot don't work http://forum.xda-developers.com/sam...ment/galaxy-a5-2016-success-kingroot-t3400564

I tried king root, but after reebooting my phone was unrooted. I suggest you to flash cf autoroot because, yes, it trips knox counter, but If u soft-brick your device in any way, you can always solve it using odin and flashing stock firmware/PIT...
They are two different things, maybe you are confused because it doesn't mean that if you flash cf autoroot and soft-brick your devices you can unbrick it just flashing stock rom, yes this is true but you can unbrick you phone in anytime without having cf autoroot!
I didn't mean that, i know odin doesn't request root permission, I said that if he flashes cf autoroot and he soft-bricks his device ( I know it's almost impossible ) he will resolve the problem by flashing stock formware (or a custom ROM after wiped cache, dalvik, data and system)
Unfortunately not possible to pre-root a stock Samsung 5.1.1 or 6.0 rom and preserve knox. It will boot loop your device. Selinux will block root and prevent the device from booting unless the boot.img is patched to remove the selinux root restriction.
However patching the boot.img trips knox, catch 22 situation.
Keep hoping for kingroot or Kingoroot if you want to preserve the knox counter.
Thanks for the reply
Can anyone try this http://www.samsungsfour.com/tutorials/how-to-root-all-samsung-galaxy-smartphones-without-pc.html ? I don't want to trip my knox!
If it works it wont trip knox as it doesn't touch the binaries.
Unfortunatelly, I can't try because i've already tripped the knox
Morning everyone,
I have searched and searched, is it possible to root these A3's as yet?
I bought this s a replacement for my son as he broke his s5 mini sitting on it lol.
Best wishes
If tripping KNOX is not a worry, you can flash TWRP, and flash the SuperSU package. (Optionally, you can flash back the stock recovery, and retain the root.)
There is no solution without tripping KNOX yet, CF-AutoRoot has not been updated for A300FU Marshmallow yet.

Hi,
I tried downgrading to lollipop without success, as it would stay on samsung logo.
So i had to use smart switch to re-install marshmellow.
Tripping knox is no issue, Therefore as supersu not been updated it would leave me with only option to go back to lollipop?
If so, is there a tut i could follow as doing usal way with odin etc did simply not work.
The A3 is on 02 network
Best wishes
Go for the 4 file package then, it is the only thing that keeps saving peoples phones around here.
Use SamFirm for to download them (make sure you tick binary update)
I just bought this tablet and the root method I found here will trip th knox warranty by installing TWRP.
For the old Galaxy S2 you could install the root through the original recovery with a modded signed SuperSu (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/ics-jb-supersu-stock-recovery-t2796008), that will not show the warning triangle.
I was wondering if this method will work also on this device without tripping the knox warranty?
I recently updated my A3 2015 with new security patches (a300fxxu1bpf1) through ODIN (I was rooted before). Now I cannot root it even with KingRoot or TowelRoot. How can I root it without bricking my device (flashing cf root through ODIN may trip knox that can cause bricked device)???
