[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...

[Q] Towelroot with g901f

Hi,
I just bought the sm g901f (same as the g900f but with a snapdragon 805). I wanted to root it but I don't know if towelroot is available for my device.
Do you think I can root it with having the know counter at 1?

I tried with modstring : "1337 0 1 7380 4 0"
But the app seems to be freezing
Does anybody knows how to fix it?

try autoroot, should work, there's a thread about that here also

yes but the thing with autoroot is that it will increse the knox counter. I don't want that...

I'd assume that because the device is so new, that the kernel used is one from after June 3rd which means that the exploit used in towelroot doesn't work anymore. But thats just an educated guess

thanks! i know now.
Does anybody know if geohot keeps his tools updated?

no, he works for google now

Hi : )
Any news about towleroot on g901f ?
Or any other solution that allows rooting g901f without having knox at 0x1 ?
Thanks

No,
i will not work.
The exploit,towelroot uses, was closed later on.
The S5 (plus / A version) does not have this exploit. Fact.
There is no chance of getting 0x0 with root for the S5 + versions.

only cf autoroot will work for g901f and your knox will be 0x1

Thanks for your answers guys.
CFAutoroot applied a long time ago ^^

I have done some surfing, and found out that ping pong root is successfully unrooting the S6 without tripping KNOX... so logic tells me that it should work for the G901, but unfortunately ping pong root has to add our model to their list before we can try it.

Hi Gele73
You don't need FlashFire to upgrade without tripping Knox. The Samsung way, using Odin, is reliable and will not void your guarantee.
These are the firmwares available for you.
You may follow these general instructions obviously regarding your device.
ALWAYS backup before starting any of these procedures.
Nice regards, good luck and mainly, have fun.

Hi Kdio,
thank you for your answer. I know how I can get the latest android version my phone and I also know how to flash it by odin but I've root and I think I will lose root if I flash the current firmware (6.01) via odin. I'm right?
The main question is how I can update to 6.01 without losing root and tripping Knox.

From this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-ane4-kitkat-4-4-2-multi-csc-t2813628
'Starting from Android 6.0.1 there is no way to keep KNOX 0x0 in case of installation with root (by default), even if you use FlashFire! The reason is that in case of Android 5.1+ root require at least patched sepolicy in the kernel's ramdisk (that means => modified boot.img). The only way to keep KNOX 0x0 in such case is Android 5.0 -> 6.0.1 update using FlashFire with no root).'

Okay, forget KNOX 0x0.
Is there still anyway to root the SM-G900FD? I cant find anything for this device.

Try ALEXANDR's for G900FD http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-bof1-devbase-multi-csc-safe-bloat-t3145437
Solid stock based 6.0.1 ROM with root and some useful optional add-ons and mods like Xposed, camera, phone and sms apps
MM version can be flashed using FlashFire, but as already mentioned it will trip KNOX.
Remember to also flash the corresponding modem and bootloader for MM using Odin.

Definitive answer for rooting & tripping knox needed - 910C

A few methods out there for rooting,I've read they do trip knox and that they don't trip knox.
Most methods state android LP used but MM is out for a while now.
So I'm a bit confused :silly:
I thought custom recovery tripped knox not rooting?
Specifically I'm after rooting my 910C on 6.0.1 (seems to be European Hungarian version)
N910CXXS2DPK1
N910COXX2DPI2
N910CXXU1DPC1
I do not want to install custom recovery as yet,just want to root.
3 methods I know of are
CF's auto root
towel root
king root
Read about systemless root but not read up on that as yet.
So which one DOES NOT trip knox?
Thanks

Towel root only doesn't trip knox but sadly it does not work on note 4.it works with older devices like s3 s4 note 3 running jellybean kitkat.
Preety much All other methods will trip knox even kingroot.
best .and safe way is flash twrp and flash supersu.zip systemless. And this will trip knox for sure.
If you want knox then forget root you have to choose 1 of them.
