Which rooting method? CF-Auto Root works with all firmwares and bootloaders (but be wary of tripping the Knox flag).

Yes that will work. Although the fastest and best method (without having to install a custom recovery) is to use CF-Auto Root (and the safest too because I wouldn't trust the zip on the blog, but I trust Chainfire lol).

If i use that method, it will install the custom recovery and knox will be triggered, am i right sir? But if i use cf auto root, knox will remain 0x0?

Which is your current firmware? If you use ANY method to do any kind of rooting or flashing, your knox will be triggered and changed to 0x1 (if you are on the firmwares that have knox).

I think that zip is safe. Because i use that method since S3 generation. I use that method also on my S4 and it works fine. But i'm still on XXUBMG5 (Old Bootloader) and i want to update on the latest that's why i ask if that method will work. Thank you for answering sir

If you are on MG5, then you have no problems with rooting since you have no knox. But I suggest updating to the last firmware without knox which I think is XXUBMF8. All the firmwares with XXUB... are without knox. Some custom ROMs out there have no bootloaders when you flash them, so they are safe too. Just search for the answer and you'll know.

New Bootloader (KNOX) : root & custom rom workaround?

Hi guys!
I was with old bootloader and always used custom roms without a problem.
(I had the GOLDENEYE XXUGNG2)
I got my S4 on service due to screen replacement (i have returned to stock MGA rom, triangle away, all official etc) and with the screen replacement they also update my phone to stock XXUGNF1. :crying:
So i need a workaround for how root my phone, custom recovery, custom roms without trigger the KNOX flag.
(I have lost many episodes..)
Thanks in advance!
Not possible.. You can root it without tripping though by using towelroot
So, towelroot for root.
(If i want to un-root, i just install a stock rom with ODIN or something else?)
If try for custom recovery or rom, knox will be triggered?

[Q] question about know, towel root and clockwork rom manager

Hi. I've asked similar question before but wasn't given a clear answer.
I've done quite a bit searching and I am not a noob to rooting and custom roms.
I want to keep my knox and I am aware that there is a method using towelroot to root without knox tripping, however installing CWM or any other custom recoveries will trip knox.
My question is, once I've rooted using towelroot method and then install clockwork's rom manager off play store then install recovery through it, will they still trip knox?
Also what if I just use rom manager to install custom roms without instslling the recovery? Is that possible? I so badly want custom roms but I cannot risk knox. Please advice....

A: You will trip KNOX this way as well.
Q: What if I just use rom manager to install custom roms without installing the recovery? Is that possible?
A: Use Mobile Odin Pro instead. ROM Manager uses an existing recovery to install ROMs, without a recovery it is not possible. Check this link out.

Thank for your detailed reply!
I got the mobile odin pro now.
I want miui rom but wonikas miui has custom kernel. It will trigger knox right?
Any other miui rom without custom rom? Or is there way to install miui rom with stock kernel?
Or does miui require custom kernel to work?
All Miui Roms require a custom kernel so you will definitely trip knox.
Go for it
If you decide to go for it do youself a favor: Flash TWRP recovery.
Take a look at [TOOL/UTILITY][TWRP][ 2.7][RECOVERY] TWRP 2.7.2.x TeamWin Recovery Project 7/5
You will not regret it.

Does installing custom rom require root?

I know this might be a stupid question to some of you, but actually I can't find out if installing a custom rom require root? I have mine S7edge installed TWRP recovery, but I wonder if you need root access to install custom rom?
I think I found out that you don't need root access to flash a custom rom, was hoping that I didn't trip my Knox when installing (Recovery TWRP). TIL recovery flashing will also trip your Knox!

Root is not needed to flash a custom ROM. Flashing TWRP tripped knox though.
