So... This knox @$€&s.
Please confirm the following so that people will be confident in upgrading.
1. You can rwmove it. It is not still stealthy hidden in background to shaft you.
2. Once removed you can do whatever you want to the phone like before.
Anymore questions.
Knox locked bootloader not only app u can uninstalled it what ever u like
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk
This is one point of confusion I had. Various post say its a bootloader but then if you google it on the samsung supports page it details a way to dsiable it in a similar way as one would disable an app.
If its a bootloader aswell, would it mean a extra step to flash a compatible booloader as well as disabling the app.
Is there a guide on how to do all this, other than that vroot stuff which is said to be spyware.
It is everytime a new ota comes out we talk about rooting. Why cant they just give us root for everyone.

The way I understand it:
once you have KNOX and get rid of it, you will NEVER be able to use KNOX again
Hope this is correct?

I used the Kingo root method, went well was even able to install TIBackup and a few other applications.
However, I've looked and there are posts that "show" the Knox status in startup mode but where do I find it? IF I didn't flash a custom recovery to NOT trip knox, how do I verify that Knox is still 0x0?
I am hoping I am not asking a repetitive question because I did do a search on the Q&A forum first and found lots of posts "about" Knox and various other posts about this but, and PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF I DIDN'T FIND IT AND AM ASKING A REDUNDANT QUESTION, how do I confirm I haven't tripped Knox?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you, much obliged. I swear this was driving me nuts.
FYI, in case anyone else is wondering, Kingo works great on the T-Mobile Note 3 root and no Knox trip.
Now to remove bloatware...

Be careful. I just used the kingo app on my stock note3 and it tripped my knox warranty. So be very careful. Just proves you can't believe everything that you read.

The Kingo program installed supersu on my device and that's it. I still have 0x0 Knox. So, no idea what happened with yours. I don't even think CWM is included in Kingo.

Kingo does not load a recovery, just a copy of supersu to provide root access. You did something to cause cwm to be installed. Perhaps a different process or you loaded cwm afterwards yourself?
I can confirm Kingo does not trip Knox, unless you did something afterwards or maybe you do not have original T-mo phone, I think the new bootloaders are locked and will trip flag, but I think T-mo should still be on MI7.

I thought it was weird also. But the only thing I did was verify the bootloader version at MI7 and ran the program. I watched the program run and freaked out when I saw the cyanogen robot. I didn't even have that recovery anywhere on the phone where the program could access it. I'm not sure how our why it happened. I'm new to that program and this phone but not new to flashing. I was trying to preserve all warranties and remain stock. Just wanted root. Hopefully someone will figure out how to revert knox one day.

I just read the kingo changelog and as of version 1.1.7 there are scripts added to use a custom recovery to inject root. On their Facebook page it even says to be aware of the risks involved in flashing a custom recovery. I used version 1.1.8 and at no time did it say it was going to install a recovery nor did it give me the option to choose not to. I am trying to get sold off the people that developed the app but cannot find an email address on the website. I'm glad that the program has worked for so many. Sad that it didn't for me. If anyone could tell me if I did something wrong it would be appreciated. Seems like I am the only one this has happened to.

Sorry to hear that, when I get home tonight I'll verify which version I used, but I just double checked and my Knox flag is not tripped yet. To be fair there was at least one huge warning in red letters saying I will loose my warranty and brick my phone by using this program, so I was actually sort of expecting to trip the flag. Also it seems T-mo does not check Knox flag, or at least I have not seen one T-mo customer claiming his warranty was refused yet, due to that.
It would be nice to figure out why it didn't work for you, when it worked for many others, so we can post warning.

I agree. And thank you for the info regarding tmobile. I just can't figure out what I would have done wrong. The warranty could be an issue but I'll deal with that if it ever arises. I was just trying to keep the phone as stock as possible. Thank you for your assistance.

I used Kingo 1.1.8.1835, no problems, what's your version? And how do I check if they installed CF recovery?

I used 1.1.8. I just powered down and then used volume+,power and home to bit into recovery. The cool thing out of this if there is anything, is that the cwm recovery is the touch version. I had never used that version before.

Stock recovery on mine and we used same version, strange
Worked PERFECTLY!
Just completed the process of rooting my new GN3...FLAWLESS! Now on to some custom ROMs!!! :victory:
Is there a way to undo root of in use kingo. I will probably want to take the kitkat ota when it released, but want to root to use some xposed mods till then.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
I think you just hook your phone up, start up Kingo and press unroot. I have not tried it myself but the option should be there. As a matter of fact there is nothing I read so far to want me upgrade and many to not.

Hey everyone. This root method takes minutes. I did this in my sgs4 and there are a lot of other devices that this works on. No one has done this on our device as far as I know.
Was wondering if someone might try this out so it can be confirmed. Way better than kingo and much quicker than rdlv. Just want to know if we have a safe and quick option to root. Maybe this will help answer all those, "hey how do I root without tripping Knox" questions that plague this place every other day.
Mine is already tripped, so can't do this. If it fails it does nothing. I used a Mac, but works on windows, Mac, and Linux.

If you use this, don't forget to give thanks to the Dev k1mu who put this together. It literally takes a second to click it.

I am on a T Mobile GS4 running 4.3 but fortunately I got it rooted using this thread.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758.
But my question is since the bootloader is locked now will someone end up finding a way to get it unlocked, and to have a way to put custom roms and recovery programs on without tripping the knox counter? Just a thought....
Thanks,

It's not locked. You can do anything you want with it. You are not restricted from putting custom anything on it. But doing so will trip Knox. It will all work fine though.
And no. No one is working on defeating Knox. It's completely hopeless. The best of the best developers said it's not even worth trying. i think they all admitted defeat and got flip phones. Seriously...of COURSE people are working on it. :good:

Read XDA. If knox is defeated there will be 10 threads about it in every Samsung forum.
Sent from your phone. You should be more careful where you leave that thing.

Hey, so I really want to root my A5 as I have a few issues with it unrooted (mostly with wakelocks) and just generally dislike using it unrooted but as far as I can see there's isn't an option yet.
I'm offering a $50 bounty in BTC to whoever creates the tools and a short guide to root it without tripping Knox.
I know it's not much but others might chip in as well.
There is already root available since yesterday.
Unfortunately only with cwm look at this link.

I see, nice. And do we know who made it?
I'll wait for a few replies if it's really works without tripping Knox though.
I'm out of the loop why people hate CWM.

CWM will trip knox for sure. Only way without knox tripped would probably be to get a hold of engineer sboot/boot combination from samsung and be able to root it through ADB.

I used this method today ive also used in the past the twrp method prefer the cwm one though far less steps found though cwm has a lot more chance of bootlooping but far easier ... so to sum up cwm version easy 2 steps really but very finicky... twrp lot more stable but a little more complicated dmverity etc... will again comment in a couple of days let you know how cwm is going now i have stabilized it....
