You have the same Kernel version as me, so the easiest way would be to use towel root :
https://towelroot.com/
It is a one click root and shouldn't need much explanation. If this for some reason shouldn't work you could still try CF-Autoroot
NOTE:
Towel Root does not trigger the KNOX counter and you will still have your warranty
CF-Autoroot DOES trigger the KNOX counter and so will void your warranty

Depend of the firmware you have installed. The cf-auto-root Samsung /GT-I9515L/ MSM8960 MSM 8960 is for the firmware KOT49H.I9515LUBU1ANC1. :highfive:

Currently the new update 'AOE2' is "in Queue" status at the bottom of the supported device list in the first post.

Yes I already told them about our new update and he said that they will work on it to support it so just be patient!

AFAIK, the only way to get OTA updates again is to flash a stock rom... Which I guess doesn't trip knox.
You'll have to root again of course after that if you want it.

OE2 is now in the PingPong Root list of supported devices! I just successfully rooted my SM-G920P OE2. How can you tell if Knox has not been tripped?

Got it!

NVM, figured it out

[SOLVED] Downgrade S4 mini (GT-I9195) v4.4.2 --> v4.2.2?

Kind XDA users,
As the topic implies, I'd like to downgrade this unrooted phone.
Could anyone direct me to a to a link with the proper firmware / procedure?
Will I be able to downgrade without tripping Knox?
Phone info:
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9195 (8GB)
Android version: 4.4.2
Baseband version: I9195XXUNCJ6
Buildnumber: KOT49H.I9195XXUCNJ6
Kernel version: 3.4.0-3093013
Perhaps I should also note why I'd like to downgrade:
For some reason the phone gives bad signal on GSM network.
It seems it is connected normally, though sometimes people reach te voicemail without any reason.
Also outgoing calls seem to fail at that time, reboot solves this temporary.
The option "GSM only" is not available under network settings.
I put the SIM-Card in another S4 Mini on v4.2.2 the option "GSM only" is available.
(I did not select it though as the plan has data, it was just the only difference I could find other than android version.)
Tested for approx 2 week and it runs fine, problems are yet to be discovered.
Edit: feel free to move this topic, did not notice I was in the general section.
Kind regards, Stefan.

Hi Stefan!
The only one option is flash ZTO-UBUBNE2 firmware(Brazil), It don't have much bloat, 90% have option to uninstall...
Good luck, MixoMaxoViper.

Thanks for the reply, could you link me to the file?
Can it be flashed with kies or only with odin?
Also will this trip Knox?
Kind regards, Stefan.

That rom is official samsung rom. So it will not trip knox. Extract the downloaded zip file and u get a "tar.md5" file along with a 'dll' file.
Open odin and click on PDA or AP button and choose the extracted tar.md5 file. Then flash it.

This ZTO-UBUBNE2 rom is meant for GT-I9195. You must find a jellybean firmware with same bootloader as kitkat firmwares.
Then you can downgrade. I have i9195, so i do not know about any jellybean firmwares for I9190 that have knox 2.0 bootloader.

Not unless you can put the bootloader from Brazilian rom to your Italian ROM but I think that would be break the knox and probably wouldn't even work anyway.

how we can know that ,which jellybean rom have the same bootloader as kitkat?(so we can downgrade)
i want it for i9190 and i9192

Don't think such a rom exists for those models just i9195. That's with the new boot loader. I may be wrong though...

Maybe this works, but it's not cheap and (i think) not tested on the A 2017 series.

I'd be very wary of that website I havent seen anything relating to confirmation it works on XDA.
You can get private mode back with Xposed.

I saw a kernel named Superstock for Galaxy S7 Edge...this kernel can fix KNOX problem and allow us to use KNOX features even with a 0x1 KNOX!
this the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/kernel-superstock-v1-3-5-t3453462
I am wondering is there anyone who can make the same kernel for A5 2017?
I am pretty sure that there is software solution for 0x1 KNOX...nothing is impossible
