Hi guys! My daily driver is a GS7E but I finally got back my old N9005 after my sister got a new phone. I clearly remember that while using the note 3 there was a rom+kernel combo to make knox work even with root and 0x1 counter. I've been trying in the last 3 hours to make it work again (with xposed and tons of various zips) but nothing works, I still can't make My Knox work.
Every custom ROM I can find is Knox-debloated, but I want to use it..
Do you have any suggestion? I think I was using g00h's ROM but his profile got deleted as I can see, and there are no mirrors or whatsoever..
Thanks!

Knox is discontinued by samsung myknox app has been removed from playstore it will not work anymore even knox counter is 0x0.
Nowdays in newer phones knox is replaced by something called secure folder.
Hope this will help you save some time

Please list what I am missing out on so hopefully that will tip me over so I finally flash a proper kernel .. =)
What cool new features do the custom kernels currently available offer? (apart from selinux permissive and getting rid of all the knox and selinux bull****)
No (easy) nandroid backup/restore and no zip flashing through a custom recovery also sucks =/...
Man Samsung why did you have to put us through this decision? One lil word that knox (warranty) can be restored / is still honored with knox 0x1 and this thing is flashed in 10 seconds....

Keeping KNOX 0x0 prevents you from flashing other ROMs, and some of the ones here on XDA beat the crap out of OEM stock ROMs. A custom recovery makes it easy to backup, change the ROM, flash ZIPs, etc. I had TWRP with Multiboot, on my Nexus 7, so I could test and play with other stuff like Ubuntu without messing with my main CM system. As for kernels, I didn't see any available last time I checked, not for this device at least, but I'm sure we'll see them soon enough.
This may not apply to you, but I asked my Sprint Store directly, will rooting affect my Total Equipment Protectjon, and not only did they say it is OK, the guy actively encouraged me to root (though that part was probably the guys personal opinion). As for Samsung, i don't know, but I'm keeping it as long as i can tolerate (end or December I'll probably crack). Hope this helps.
Why I choose custom ROMS and ROOT is because I get free hands on changing the appearance! I really hate the stock appearance of every phone (I think it's because it feels like I'm forced to use it) and I love to change every single thing of it. Of course there are a lot of different things you can do as well, I have for example installed AdAway (no more crappy advertisement all over your phone) and ES File Explorer with ROOT so I can change every file I want wherever I want.
Sorry for the cheeky reply but one would google "advantages of root" or something like it to get some answers.
Without root you are going to miss out on a huge variety of things, but if you don't use those features, will you miss them?
Food for thought.

Yeah... think knox make me think of this is my last Samsung phone... haha... happy with root device but I don't want to lose warranty too.

Hmm either I didnt explain myself correctly, or you guys didnt understand me fully:
I got my phone rooted with root de la vega (obviously - if there was no way around it I would just trip the knox flag - but with RDLV I can do most of the root things..)
I know what a custom recovery can do and this one is pretty big for me already since I like to mess around with system alot and would love to have easy nandroid backup.. but so far that was not enough for me to actually trip knox for having that.
So I was asking what other things some of the custom kernels and/or recoveries do offer at this point? I see there is OC/UV already with Faux kernel? And sound improvement? Guess it's time to trip that knox.. but man if tomorrow or next week someone finds a way to circumvent the knox tripping somehow, I would bite myself in the ass lol..
Just a big FU at samsung for forcing this crap on people...
Hey guys I was wondering if I can get some help. I recently rooted my s5 via Geohots method and sometime in between then and now I only got round to checking my knox counter and all my info. I've only installed a few apps. (SuperSU. Root browser and titanium bk) I had sd maid installed before and installed lucky patcher the other day. Now I have a custom status (not sure if this occurs straight after root of after some app installz) even tho knox is still at 0 is there a reason for this status change? Anyway to return it to official? . Thanks a lot hope for some help. Cheers

It's reporting custom because you have in fact changed it to custom i.e. not stock. You can use an xposed module or similar program to fake the message so that it shows as official if you want to. Or alternately remove your root, etc so that SysSCOPE will see that you are 100% stock and report it as such. I'd prefer the former option myself or simply not worry about it saying custom.

Checked old threads, and even made a thread a couple months ago about this question, but it goes a bit further.
I've finally rooted using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/root-nb4-knox-0x0-t2802185
I didn't trip knox, that's great right?! Well, I went further, installed xposed, then gravity box and started playing around with my newly rooted device.
I then installed supersu (I haven't really needed it but I wanted to test something out from another thread, here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-safe-knox/366118-solution-how-permanently-remove-knox.html)
Well I've removed Knox!
Not quite: because knox is located in the bootloader, it's a little more complicated to remove. My question (finally) is that even though I've disabled knox as a pesky security feature, if I were to finally enable a custom recovery, or flash to a different rom (I wanna go aosp, and go to lolipop) would I have issues with knox again, and trip the counter? I still want to upgrade my phone using JUMP but I don't want to have problems with T-Mobile.
Thanks guys!

As soon as you flash custom recovery knox will be tripped

Kinda what I thought would happen unless you changed the bootloader.
You can't change it unless it has the same certificate from Samsung right? Even if you copied it over to a different bootloader?

I know once you have the latest bootloader you can't go back and with the forthcoming android L you will need the latest bootloader so I would just update to the latest version and root and flash away aosp or whatever I know it invalidates your warranty but for me it's worth the risk however the cm12 alpha is full of bugs so I would wait for a beta at least to avoid disappointment
Let me first start by saying ive done a ton of research and still dont know alot about modifying phones . With that said I tried to search on here for any help and everything I seem to try doesnt work or I hit a dead end. I have a galaxy s5 Active SM-G870A running 4.4.4 kitkat. I am trying to get my appradio 3s touch to work with this phone and have it narrowed down to the fact that my selinux is set to enforcing. My phone is rooted with Towelroot (used a tutorial from wolfdroid.com). As I said Ive searched around on these forums and found a few different things and have tried all of them to no avail. Some of the things Ive tried are as follows , tried the selinux mode changer app (I do have super user permission set to granted) also tried using xposed framework. Last I found a thread on here with instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ipt-permissive-selinux-stock-kernels-t2854364
I started to work my way through that. I have Busybox installed and then I tried to work my way to get init.d support. That led to me trying to use Terminal Emulator to add init.d support through the Term-init thread I found. Followed those instructions but now im stuck as I have the Term-init.sh file on my root dir of my sd card but terminal emulator just says it cant find it when I search for it. All in all im just trying to get this phones SElinux set to permissive. Please help point out anything I may have missed because of stupidity, I would really like to use my appradio the way I had originally intended to. Thanks for any and all help also let me know if there is anymore information needed from my end that will "help you" help me.
P.S. Sorry for the long read...
I don't know much about your issue, but having busybox installed is only half the job.......have you opened busybox, run the app and downloaded and installed all the required 'applets'?
Sent from my rooted kn0x0 SM-G900F S5
Yes I have, I installed the applets, first time I tried it said it failed so I changed the dir to just system/bin and tried again and it worked.
I too can't get it to be permissive. Tried pretty much everything I've found and nothing, stays on enforcing
I've done a bit of digging/research on this.......It seems that nobody has had much success in achieving this with a stock setup. The one main app developer according to his thread here on XDA, believes that KNOX may be responsible for the difficulties. The only progress that I've seen is where a developer has written a whole new kernel where the state is set to permissive by default.......
So as far as I can work out, if you need SElinux to be permissive, you'll have to flash one of these custom kernels.....and we all know what that'll do to KNOX........

Thanks for the info, I seemed to find away around my problem for now. . I'm curious what happens when Knox is tripped? I've heard it voids the warranty but other than that what's the big deal if you plan on keeping the phone?
Sams**t get kinda 'iffy' about knox tripped phones.....I read somewhere on here that a knox tripped phone needed a repair, and they refused to do it.....Even though the phone owner offered to pay in full for the repair.....

I have a nexus 4 i change the SElinux mode by an app called SElinux mode changer, works fine for me can't say it will work on GS5, but its worth a try
EDIT: IT PROBABLY WON'T WORK ON SAMSUNG DEVICES.

According to the app Dev, he thinks that KNOX stops his app functioning properly......
So no, won't work on the S5.......or any other KNOX infected device......
Basically, any high end phone produced by Samsung since the S3.......

Thanx for clarifying
I just got an S5, because screw not being able to get at the battery in the S6, and I'm looking at getting custom roms and such. Any recommendations from the community? I'm on a Canadian device, so the model is G900W8. Also, anything you would recommend I don't do?
Thanks!

Welcome to the club ! I'm also a new S5 owner for 2 weeks and the first thing I would mention is that you should read around about KNOX and decide if you can have it tripped or not. If you are alright with KNOX tripped to 0x1 (like me) then your possibilities are endless! You can start with updating to stock lollipop (if not already) and flash a custom kernel like ktoonsez and enjoy better battery life, d2w and a bunch of other features. After that you're free to do pretty much anything you like, if something screws up you can just Odin back to stock 4.4 or 5.0.
If you cannot have KNOX tripped then your customizations are very limited, I think rooting is fine, but other than that not sure....

Yep, I have no problem with KNOX being tripped. The way I see it, the phone's waterproof, dust proof, and I have it in an Otterbox case. If I manage to break it somehow, that's all on me lol. I rooted already, and I'm looking at some custom roms right now like Omega. I'll check out that kernel you mentioned as well. Thanks.
The most important thing is to install Greenify in order to improve your battery life. I personally prefer AOSP ROMs like CM12, because Vanilla Android rocks
