[Q] Status of rooting and Knox - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello there,
I read several times now, that for Snapdragon variants it's possible to root WITHOUT tripping Knox security counter.
Does that mean, that the counter still remains on 0x0?
I know that there is a bug, that the battery just charges up to 80%.
Can someone explain that root method to me?
I'm just interested if this could be available on the exynos versions someday aswell.
Thank you all for your time and help.

[Q] can use knox after tripping knox ?

Hello everyone. ive been searching these forums for quite a while and can safely conclude that theres no way for me (ATM) to root my note 3 without tripping knox.
i have a N9005 running the NC2 firmware, on 4.4.2
now i want to know is, if i flash a custom recovery and firmware ONLY, without flashing a custom ROM, can i still use KNOX (the app) ?
all i really want is root access, im quite happy with the ROM and performance ATM.
very sorry if this has been asked already, i couldnt find anything about it
thanks everyone

Any attempt to modify/temper the phone should render the Knox invalid thus Knox 0x1 as a flag that no Knox security warranty can be established on such devices.
Rooting is considered an attempt to modify the system.
So simple answer is No....
You root you can't use Knox app...

I think you are looking for "Towelroot". I heard that there's a way to update to LP after rooting without tripping Knox with mobile Odin, but I've never tried it myself.
Ciuffy's SM-G900F CM 12.1 spirit hath marked this way.
Thanks mate. Anyone who can help me with the way. I have checked and unable tof ind the way out.
There's no way to root the SM-G900H without tripping knox. It's been over a year without it, there won't be one. Get another phone or root and trip knox.

Root G900FXXU1POF9 not possible

Root G900FXXU1POF9
Hi,
I have already triggered the knox unfortunately on my S5 SM-G900F.
Now I have to questions:
1. With triggered knox, I hope it is only about the guaranty right? , all the functionalities of the phone (including future OTAs) will work as for a normal not triggered knox right?
2. Now is there a way to root it, I tried like 2 methods, It seems to me it is unrootable at the moment ?
Thanks

Rooting the N9005 variant running Lollipop 5.0 without tripping KNOX?

Hello,
I've purchased a Galaxy N9005,upgraded it to 5.0 for quite some time now and I've been thinking of rooting it.
Thing is, my warranty card is still valid and I wouldn't like voiding my warranty by tripping KNOX. Is there any way of rooting a device running N9005XXUGPOK2 (build number) without tripping it? I've searched high and low for the slightest of guides but without luck.
Could somebody point me in the right direction on how to root my device or at least letting me know if it even is possible to root it without tripping KNOX?
Root cannot be achieved without tripping Knox.

Rooting Samsung s8 SM-G950F

Hello, maybe its just me, but Im not fully clear about rooting my phone. The thing is that I wouldnt loose my warranty, but Id use my loved root required features, such as viperaudio mod, etc.
So there are some methods already, but I dont know, if there any low effort root, or anything similar exist which not triggers knox counter If this method isnt exists, then is it possible to reset the counter after Ive flashed a custom rom / root?
Flashing an original firmware update with Odin will trigger the counter?
Thanks forwards for your help!

Root will trigger Knox. Some custom ROMs had Knox status set as 0x0 but it still has triggered the Knox fuse in reality. Triggering Knox will make you loose Samsung Pay for lifetime. But if you don't care about your warranty or Samsung pay then you could go ahead. There are thread showing you how to do so.
