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.

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.

Hello All,
I recently flashed KitKat 4.4.2 successfully but now I need to re-root. I see dodgy posts about rooting certain ways. Can someone please point me to the right direction in the easiest and safest way to root on KitKat? Thanks!

You can use CF Auto Root to re-root the phone. The only problem is this method will trip the Knox warranty void counter which can't be reset at this time. You flash it through odin and after it roots, you need to disable Knox. To do that, download (or update) SuperSU and when you run it for the first time, it will give you an option to disable Knox for the root to fully work. Finally, you can install the custom recovery. While this is optional, this is strongly recommended. You can use CWM or TWRP by downloading from either ROM Manager or Goo Manager depending on what recovery you want. After doing that, you should have a fully working root
Download CF Auto Root: http://download.chainfire.eu/233/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.zip
You can also flash the SuperSU zip after using Odin to flash a custom recovery (I recommend philz)

Hi guys, I just got a galaxy s4 for t mobile and it came with 4.2.2 version of android. I'm scared to brick the phone but I really want to root it. Can someone point me to the right direction? Been reading some tutorials but they are for different versions of android. How do I root my phone without bricking it or tripping Knox?

4.2.2 doesnt have Knox. Use CF-Auto Root by Chainfire to root.

Thanks! Now it seems that cf auto root comes with a stock kernel and recovery. Is this changeable? Can I install a custom recovery and kernel after using cf auto root? Or should I find a different method of rooting for this? Are there any safe ones out there. It seems that a lot is outdated and I'm afraid of installing the wrong thing.

I don't know if towelroot will root 4.2.2, but it doesn't install a recovery.

You're calling a rooting method outdated while using the exact "outdated" software it was meant to root in the first place. CF-autoroot is as safe as safe can be. In fact, I know it still works for 4.3 and I THINK 4.4.2; it just trips the KNOX counter on them... still gets the job done though.
As far as your concern of installing the recovery; it first flashes its own recovery so it can use an exploit, then reverts it back to stock. I believe the kernel is untouched.
If your end goal is to move on to custom recoveries and custom ROMs you can bypass the rooting process altogether and go straight for the recovery/ROM.

This.
You really don't need CF Auto Root at all until all you want to do is root the stock rom.
If you want to install a customer rom, use Odin to install a custom recovery and flash whatever you want from there.

That's precisely my end goal. And I guess my question is how to do this safely with the Android version I have.
I didn't mean the root method was outdated; I was talking about some of the information that's on the general forum regarding root. There is even a post on one of the stickies asking for updated info in May. This scares me because for all I know I can follow one of these methods to root or install a custom recovery/rom and end up with a brick because something is no longer compatible.
I guess my question is: what is the best (updated) method of installing a custom rom/recovery for my tmobile s4 with android 4.2.2?
Use cf autoroot and flash clockworkmod through Odin. Download rommanager. Download a rom. Hit install rom from SD card. Pick your ROM from downloads.

I understand your apprehension, i really do. What I've said to do has worked for me when i got the phone over a year ago, and has worked here recently when i did it again. I'm trying to tell you there is no need for an updated way of doing what you want. If you want root, use CFauto root. Like i said, that method was done specifically for MDB and MDL firmwares, there is no better choice. Newer yeah, but better? Not a chance. Your firmware is equally outdated and it's worked for millions of users without fail.
As far as a custom ROM goes, find one you want to use, put it on your SD card, pick a recovery (CWM, Philz, or TWRP), flash that in Odin, boot to recovery (power+volume up) , do a full wipe (system, data, and cache) select the ROM, and flash. No need to root at all if you want to go straight to a custom ROM.
EDIT: Obviously, you might want to perform a nandroid backup once you flash your recovery... but that's really optional as long as you have the stock Odin-flashable firmware. Totally up to you.

SM-T705, CF-Autoroot already. I was asked the above question. As I have rooted already I cant tell.
1 So if one installs TWRP recovery with Odin (not TWRP Manager apk) and just wants to backup his Tab, I would say there is no root necessary for doing this.
2 Will the Installation of TWRP with Odin trip Knox already ?
3 What is necessary for TWRP restore ... I guess root...
yes it will trip knox, anything custom other than an added binary (su.bin) will trip knox. Root isn't needed to backup/restore a ROM outside of Android, just a custom recovery.
If you have rooted with CF-Autoroot you tripped Knox already.

you con downgrade an older stock kernel w/out tripping knox ... but that's about all you can do. That said, I'd love to know if anyone has tried king, or towelroot. I'm too chicken. But towelroot DID work on our 8.4 tab pro (w/out tripping knox).

The thing is, is the tab pro exynos? I dont think towelroot works on exynos or some exynos devices
can't recall - but I thought it was the other way around - that towelroot (& kingo) won't work on snapdragon 's. I'll have to check to see what we got.

Hi i have rooted my SM-T705 without tripping Knox using KINGOROOT but i have run into a issue i need supersu and it keeps failing to install if i TWRP Manager via apk will that trip Knox ? Sorry for the newbie question i haven't been keeping up with the root scene for some years now ?? Thanks
Hello, friends.
I just bought a T700 Tab S 8.4 WiFi and I came here to search for rooting procedures.
I found two or three topics but they don't make clear for what they are appropriate.
I would like to root the 5.0.2 version in this device. It would be great if I could do it without tripping the knox and using the stock rom - no custom.
Otherwise I would downgrade my device just to have root without tripping the knox. The only option I've found, it was for the 10.2 tablet version.

Install TWRP and then flash SuperSU. Yes, Knox will be voided, but enjoy all the wonderful aosp roms!

If it's the only option, I won't proceed. As I said, I don't want to trig the knox neither install a custom recovery. Thanks for replying.
