What model? G950F/FD? G950U? There is a very simple way to root G950U/G950W devices already in existence. It's called SamFail and is listed with an accompanying rom in the threads section.

Sadly, currently there is no way of rooting Exynos S8 without tripping knox..
Unfortunately as mentioned above and beyond there is no way currently without tripping Knox. Sadly, I use Samsung Pay alot and like the idea of keeping that option hence no rooting as long as this device is my DD.

A question if anyone can help me.
I really need to Root my Galaxy S8 (SM-G950F) cause i need to try to recover some photos and most apps to recover need the root done.
I know that root trips Knox, but if i install an official firmware after been tripped, will phone get back to normal, or it will tripped forever??
Thanks

It physically trips knox warranty, so if it’s tripped once, you can’t recover it unless you replace motherboard.

But once I install an official firmware, I will be able to use Knox and Samsung pay again?

Nope, you won't be able to use it again, even after you install an official firmware afterwards.

Hey, I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500. I want to root it and install cyanogenmod 11 on it. But I read that there's some problem with Knox and how it ends your warranty if the flag changes to 0x1. I'm currently on Android 4.4.2 kitkat official ROM by Samsung. Can I root it without loosing my warranty? Also, I read that Kingoroot roots your phone and doesn't trip your knox counter either. Does anyone know about this?
The main thing I wanna do after rooting is change the DPI of my phone. I hate such big icons.

I wish I could. I'm a student and only I know how I bought S4. It's only one month old. So, I can't buy HTC ONE M8. Anyways, thanks for the suggestion.
If your phone is unlocked
Sell it
Then get some little money then buy htc
Hi all
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question (please refrain from flaming if it isn't) but my question is:
I've rooted (which tripped Knox), and there are a few images that I'd stored in Knox that I want to retrieve. Is there a way for me to get the images now that I am unable to get into Knox?
Thanks in advance,
Nate

No. If you used even 30 seconds to try search an answer to your question, you'd figured it out.

Unfortunately, all Knox apps are bound to e-fuse, which is "burned" now.
Best disable now all Knox processes in the shell.
Forget the pics, pity

Well, I used Cf-auto root. I would have used towelroot but unfortunately this uses the Exynos chip (SM-N900) and if there was another way of rooting without tripping Knox I wasn't aware of it

oh i see, i thought you was on snapdragon as snapdragon version you can have root without tripping Knox.. Oh i did hear somewhere on these forums you can reset the Knox back to 0x0 as long as you own the exynos version it might be worth a search!

I have had a brief look around the forum and Google and have found ways to reset the Knox counter but it involves wiping the rom (downgrading, etc) and losing root which I'm not inclined to do. I'll be patient and wait and see if there is a method that comes about that would let me reset it without losing root.
Thanks for all the advice
Nate
Is this true? Supposedly with this program for windows the official 5.0.1 lollipop rom N910FXXU1BOB4 can be rooted (maybe without tripping knox???)

when I said "without tripping knox" i meant: without increasing the knox counter to 1 and thus invalidating the warranty.
So if it works it could be the first method to root preserving the warranty.
I haven't tried though.
Anyone?

does it says anywhere that it won't trip knox?
i've looked but haven't seen anything about that.
so why would you think about something like that? if it would be possible it would've been huge news everywhere
so i think it's safe to assume you thought completely wrong about that it won't trip knox :good:

Dear sxjg23. Be our guest and give it a try.
Please let us know the result.
Nowhere to read if it don't trip Knox. It looks the same as the Kingo root server based method. My advice : root with Chainfire's solution via Odin. Yes, it trips Knox but it'a a safe and proven method.
I've tried both methods of SRSRoot, which says it's rooted but actually it's not. Some apps (root checker, titanium backup) complain it's not rooted.
Maybe I'm doing something bad.
I'll use the well-proven cf-root method instead.

i think so, i tried to root but didn't work but i'll try again,knox means nothing to me, i always root my phones.
You will not be able to use Samsung Pay if you root your phone. As there is no way to reset knox, you will never get to use samsung pay when it's up and running in your country..

Not to mention that tripping knox counter will result in losing your warranty
I've been searching for a tutorial of how to root this phone without tripping knox and i do have some files in it (knox) too.
Back in the old days, i was using Galaxy Note 2 and I rooted with KNOX tripped (it was out of warranty already) and the KNOX won;t be able to be access anymore and that's a bad thing
So, how to root this thing without tripping knox and still have my warranty covered?
Thanks in advance
Kingroot or Kingoroot. If it works Do not convert to supersu afterwards.
so will the root be permanant if i use kingoroot?

So, is the method mentioned here (using Super-Sume Pro) on an A3 safe?
EDIT - Sorry, still a Samsung noob (not yet got one and only ever had Motorolas) so didn't notice A7 in thread title
