So. My phone decided to download the new kitkat update that I DID NOT want. Now I have to postpone the update every 24 hours. My questions are 1. Is there anyway to remove the file? (doubt it) 2. Will it update automatically after 24 hours? My phone is not rooted but would be willing to void Knox warranty to avoid this update. Could always drop the phone off of one of their towers I work on and make it unbootable.
Ahhhhhhh
Oh no! Now I'm being told I won't be able to postpone the update after a while!!!!! Someone please help I don't want this update!!!!

Since you have not updated yet, you can root without tripping Knox. Then once you are rooted, go through the existing 4.4.2 update thread and follow it. (post 873) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51254809&postcount=873
Later if you want, you can retain root and update to 4.4.

Excellent. Could you perhaps link a decent guide on how to perform this root?
I've searched around for a non Knox tripping guide and found a few, but suggestions would be appreciated.
This is the method I used. Very easy and have had no issues on both my phones that I did it on.

You can use Root de la Vega or Kingo Method to root without tripping Knox. Lots of threads on de la Vega here, use any one. Or its just easier to download kingo app from their website and follow instructions.

I'm still a little worried about Kingo .. or any autoroot that passes along IMEI to servers.
So I'd go with root de la vega.
please help.
Hello, I have a question. I'm still on jelly bean rooted, with stock rom and stock recovery. How is the best way to update to kit kat? I want to stay rooted with stock rom and recoveries. Also how do I flash the update with stock recovery?

Download the official kk version from sammobile.com and flash it using Odin. It will remove root, so you will have to root your phone again, which should be no big deal.

Hi,
I have a P605 and gained root via Universal Root de la Vega without tripping Knox when it was freshly released.
I still run MJ2 because I read updating to a newer version will unroot the device. So is there a way to update and keep root without tripping Knox now?
still no way to do it? i would ask in dev forum but cant write because i have <10 posts.

There is a long thread in the Note 3 forum about using Mobile Odin to update without losing root and without tripping knox.
Read it carefully and adapt it as required.

Hm.. was just looking at the other thread and figuring out how it is done.
So there is still no way for updating from MJ2 to MJ9 and keep root and Knox 0x0? :crying:
Hi..sorry if this has been answered, but I don't see it on t-mobile.
I am planning to root my phone to run the regionlock (hopefully unlock sim). Getting confused with all the different methods available.
I don't want to trip Knox..was planning to use RDLV, but then read something about Kingo, but that wasn't listed as a method for rooting on the FAQ?
So what's the difference? Is one better than other? I also read that any installation of ROMs will trigger the knox? So if I rooted, how can I get to the newest firmware? Just unroot and update OTA?
If you are 4.3 you can root without tripping knox. I used RDLV I felt is was safer. XDA removed Kingo, it may not be safe. I know many have used it and are a big fan of Kingo. I did not like idea of some third party rooting my phone, they can do anything they choose to do. That is just my personal choice.
If you are 4.4.2 Kitkat, the rooting method available will trip Knox.
OTA, will not work automatically. You will need to use Odin. There are threads on how to all the above.
I am stock rooted 4.3, I have not jump on the Kitkat wagon yet. There are mixed reviews on moving to Kitkat.
Good luck and enjoy!

Thanks. if I stay rooted but want to move up to Kitkat but not use custom ROM, can I flash the offical firmware? And would that trigger KNOX? I read any flashing ROM will trigger it too? This is much more complicated...did this stuff a few years ago with HTC...now there's so much more stuff to consider

i think you can flash to 4.4.2 (KitKat) using odin mobile pro without triggering knox, at least that's what i've read on here that others have done successfully. if you want to upgrade you'll need to upgrade your bootloader too. keep in mind that once you do this, you can't revert or downgrade back to jellybean 4.3 or downgrade the bootloader (knox requires a signed bootloader to go with a signed official ROM, apparently).
personally if i were you i'd stay on jellybean 4.3 and use the root de la vega method. i'm a bit miffed mine came with 4.4.2 already on it.
i miss how easy it all was back on HTC too could root, flash recovery, ROM, kernel, and return to factory settings like new. *sigh*

Do you mean flashing 4.4.2 official rom which will become unroot again right? How about going to 4.4.2 and stay root with stock type ROM..not customized?

if you go the mobile odin pro route, it should root it again for you if it gets unrooted
you can get the steps on how to upgrade to 4.4.2 and keep root with knox 0x0 using mobile odin pro on this thread:

I saw in that thread, he spent $4 for odin pro?
I got a new Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 (SM-T320) on Friday. $249 at Best Buy finally pushed me over the edge (yay!).
The current build that is on it is T320UEU1ANAI.
It has an OTA update available that it wants to install, but, of course, it doesn't tell me what the new build is. I have been clicking on Later, so far.
I expect that I will want to use TowelRoot to root this without tripping Knox, and I'll want to install at least a custom recovery and some Xposed modules. I may want to try a custom ROM in the future, and I understand that that will trip Knox no matter what. But, from what I read, as long as I use TowelRoot and just root and install a recovery, I won't trip Knox.
Is all that correct?
If I let this pending OTA go ahead and install, will I still be able to use TowelRoot and install a custom recovery without tripping Knox?
TIA!

Installing a custom recovery will trip knox.
Thanks, crpalmer. I read that TowelRoot doesn't trip it, but I was definitely still uncertain about installing a recovery and tripping Knox. Good to know.
So, anyway, if I take this OTA, will I still be able to root and install a custom recovery if I want? I've rooted and ROMed other devices in the past. But, I have a Verizon S4 and I already got burned with it by taking an OTA without researching thoroughly first. Now, my S4 is totally locked down and looks like it'll never be cracked. I definitely want to avoid that happening with this GTP.

Yes, let it update. Towelroot works with the update perfectly and than you can do twrp or just have root access and keep Knox intact if you need it for some reason.

I used towel root on a newer version as mine was already on the latest.
My future plans are much like yours. Stock rooted for a while, then custom recovery and roms.
Cheers,

Hi I just bought the Tab Pro from BestBuy. Is towelroot enough to root AND not to trip knox? Or do we have to flash the kernel from this thread?

You can't root 4.4.4 without tripping Knox. TowelRoot used to be able to do it before 4.4.3, but the 4.4.4 "fixed" the exploit he was using.
If you flash a non-stock recovery it will trip the Knox flag. And, the only way of rooting with 4.4.4 is to install a non-stock recovery. CFAutoroot is your best bet, and then install TWRP, or CWM recovery.

I know there are posts about going from 4.3 to 5.0, but I have Root de la Vega installed and I've read a lot of warnings about that method of rooting. I currently have xposed running for apps like adaway. I would like to know if it's safe to use ODIN to just update to 5.0. Or do I need to undo ROOT de la Vega first?(if so, how?) ideally I would want to go to the latest stock firmware with root access and also the ability to change firmware if I want a custom one. (i'm not sure if stock firmware has issues with switching to custom)
My other questions are: does it matter if i flip the KNOX bit anymore since my warranty expired? Does anyone even care If I plan on reselling my phone? Does the KNOX bit stops you from doing anything anymore?
Thanks
Just flash to the latest rom via Odin. You may have to perform a factory reset before the stock rom will boot.

would the factory reset remove the root?
Yes, root will be removed.
found a solution. i just follow this guide and update to 4.4.2, without tripping knox

Flashing the same or newer stock rom does trip Knox.
