Is there a bypass to root XXUBMJ7 with Knox?

Nowadays in the Netherlands you can only buy the I9195LTE with the XXUBMJ7 firmware, so with Knox.
Is there a bypass / possibility to root and get CWM without getting a problem with Knox?
I ask because I want to flash custom roms and like to use Titanium Backup.
Hope that someone knows a solution.

I'm also new with S4 mini, same firmware as yours. Preparing for root with this metod. Hope it should works. If i'm not wrong?

Yeah.
I saw that thread too.
But I think it will void your warranty (not the biggest problem for me).
And I think it makes adjustments irreversible (correct me if I'm wrong) and that's not what I want.

It works - same firmware - without problems.

And what ist your KNOX status after rooting with this method? After rooting and installing cwm, does flashing cm aswell set KNOX to 0x1?

Anyone who needs Sammy to replace a piece of faulty hardware.

I would also like an answer on this.
I don't much care for installing CWM/TWRP or custom roms (for now). All I want is to root my wife's i9195 without tripping knox or bricking the phone. The main purpose would be to use apps that require root (TB, SD Maid, etc), get rid of bloatware and make it a bit more battery friendly.

Check your firmware version (settings -> about phone).
If it's MJ7 or higher, rooting and flashing will trip your knox counter. It's irreversible, and there's no way to prevent it (yet).
If you have old firmware you can root your phone without upping the counter (unless Samsung has hidden something that nobody found out yet).
So if you have older firmware, don't update it.
The method on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980 won't brick your phone.

If you live within the EU you warranty isn't voided by the Knox flag.
There was some thread floating around with proper links and documentation.

[Q] Kingo root help

So i have a Galaxy s4 mini with sprint as my carrier. I'm currently trying to root it via Kingo root app but the problem is that everytime i try, the end result is NeedRoot. I checked my phone and apparently the problem is that everytime I try to root, i get a little shield on my phone saying "Security notice" once it's clicked it states " An attempt to access a secure area on your phone without authorization has been blocked. Make sure your phone is protected by updating the security policy to the latest version from samsung". So how do I remove this policy problem? I just want to root my S4 Mini. Any help/advice is great help, thank you!

If you took all the updates and are on NA7, no. As far as I know we need ODIN/Kies to root now. Ideally, we wouldn't have have taken the update that made Knox an issue. Someone would have dumped update, broken it apart and gave us a zip to flash everything but the bootloader so we wouldn't have these issues.

Did you notice who posted last on there?

Hi i have a s4 mini gti9195i with knox rooted by kingo root apk
how can i change from kingo's superuser to supersu from chainfire? The update of the binary fails.

Not fast but 100% good way:
1. Flash stock firmware with odin (remove kingoroot and all it's trash).
2. Use CF-Auto-root or (if you plan to use custom roms) flash custom recovery.
Notice:
CF-Auto-root probably will trip knox flag when trying to disable knox security.

Kitkat installation stuck on reboot of phone. Can't use!

Help I accidentally hit the start for the installation on my note 3 for kitkat as it's been nagging at me for weeks.
Before I could pull the battery the phone turned off. Now the phone is only booting to the kitkat installation screen.
How do i cancel this?!
I am afraid to let it finish so my phone will be stuck with kitkat from here on out.
Kitkat on my gf's note 3 lost:
free wifi tethering
no vpn functionality
When phone turns on it says, Recovery booting at the top then goes right into installation of kitkat. I've been pulling the battery each time as soon as it does start loading kitkat.

I just upgraded to Kit Kat and get better battery life and the device is faster. I'm also rooted running stock.

Yes but now if you try to share your internet with wifi tethering it will accumulate data against you.
Or if you ever want to use your vpn service you are shafted also.

I understand. I'm not sure if you can go back at this point. Keep searching the forums. Good luck.

That's not entirely true about the wifi tethering. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47203432&postcount=70

Yes to get wifi tethering to work in kitkat requires rooting my phone which voids warranty. Voiding my warranty isn't quite a fix. I'd rather just not have kitkat.

What? Explain that to me.
You can root 4.4.2 without tripping knox. If you have a warranty claim, just unroot and your Knox will still say 0x0. How does that void your warranty?
I'm 4.4.2 and rooted with Knox showing 0x0 right now.

I can confirm it works, but if you took the OTA I'm not sure if there's a way to do it. This method involves starting from a rooted 4.3 with Knox still at 0x0.
Good luck!

galaxy tab s stuck on battery screen after using the cf-Autoroot
I tried rooting my galaxy tab s 8.4 using the cf-Autoroot method however at the end it said failed. I attempted to restart tablet but it was stuck on download mode, finally after searching forums I found one that explained how to power it off, and it said if I did it I would be golden. Now I have 2 choices battery screen or off. Please help I have the stock firmware but no way to reinstall

Nope just installs supersu and root. You will still have your apps.

I was just going to say - towelroot won't trip KNOX - at least as it applies to the 705, AND, the tab pro version as well. So I curious why folks would still use CF, if they're concerned about the 0x1 flag.

Well no one has tried downgrading to a kernel that towelroot could of worked with. Thought those builds were also old we do not know it if works. But people have claimed they got their tablet replaced(hardware deffect) even if they tripped knox so thats probaly why they use CF

Tripped Knox...?
I used this method and Knox Warranty went from Knox Warranty Void: 0 to Knox Warranty Void: 1. I have never had to deal with this, but is the warranty voided now? Does it mean anything that it is in gray and not red or something?
Maybe I miss read all the posts saying this will not trip Knox, but..... Why did this happen? I guess it isn't that big of a deal, as I just bought this last night, I can easily just exchange it for a new one, but if it will keep happening, there isn't much of a point.
Thanks.

Seriously? Directly from the post that you downloaded the root package from --

In Big BOLD letters.

"[Root][Port] Cf-Autoroot T700 [Tab S 8.4]"
I rooted the 8.4, not 10.5. Not sure what difference this would have since the hardware for the two are identical. In retrospect maybe I should have triple checked, but that exact warning you quoted would lead one to believe it would would trip Knox on the 10.5 and not 8.4.

CF-Autoroot T700 [Tab S 8.4] lost after OTA
Hello, I had previously rooted my Tab S 8.4 with CF-Autoroot from Beanstown with no problem. However I received some OTA update from Samsung and now I have lost root access. I tried to root again as I previously had...and even though Odin says it was a success, I still don't have root. Has anyone else ran into this?

I have same build (KOT49H.T700XXU1ANL2) but could not find chainfire autoroot to root my device (only chainfire build version available is KOT49H.T700XXU1ANF9). Did not want to first downgrade to that version for fear of bricking. Seems like this Beantown rooting worked for you....just wanted to reconfirm same build number before trying.
Thanks

Doesn't matter what build your running. Just flash the one for your model.

According to the "autoroot.chainfire.eu" website, it is build specific:
"[*] Warning: The above tutorial is only for Android 4.4.2 with the built id KOT49H.T700XXU1ANF9.
[*] If your device isnt running on the same built id KOT49H.T700XXU1ANF9, then you need to download and flash the firmware based on the same build id then after try to root your device from the above method."
This is what is scaring me from trying.

Good afternoon,
Hey you guys, just got my note 4 and looking to root. It is at the latest version nk2. Can I use the chainfire autoroot for this version.. It looked like the previous version was the one listed on their site.. Just figured I would check here first before just diving right in..
Thanks.

Yes

still trips knox ?

It def trips knox... So I would use the old version to root the nk2 then right... Just to clarify... Sorry just wanted to make sure..

sorry im a noob to the sgn4. is there a way to root without tripping knox ?

No, there is not.. You want root, you trip KNOX. KNOX is designed to let IT and corporate admin techs know that your device is no longer secure and may have been compromised. That way they can decide to allow it on the corporate network or not.
