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.

Hi all
Quick inquiry and I didn't see an exact answer to a question that I have. So I have a note 3 rooted and knox flag currently set to 0x0. I was reading I think on here and some other fourms that knox has locked the bootloader. I want to flash a custom recovery and I know it will trip the knox flag. Is the bootloader locked already or am I able to load custom recovery without any issue?
Do you have the T-mobile version? If so, then no, the bootloader is NOT locked.
Flashing a custom recovery WILL trip the Knox flag though.

Hi. I kind of in the same situation.
I am a Note 2 user since it came out and have tried many ROMs without problems. I recently upgraded to Note 3 and I haven't touched anything (rooting and flashing) because I remember reading before about some problems with Knox and eFuse or something. I got a T-Mobile note btw.
Do I have to treat Note 3 differently when rooting and flashing because of this knox, efuse issues?
I tried to look for a clearer answer but I'm still hesitant to proceed. Or is the process the same as rooting and flashing ROMs on Note 2?
Also, I have a Jump insurance with TMO, is this going to have some problem if later I have to claim replacements or upgrade? Thanks a lot. Really appreciate the help.

Well, from where we are right now with the Knox counter, if you flash ANY ROM or Kernel, then the Knox will trip, and will void your warranty. You can root using Root de la vega, or Kingo root without tripping the Knox counter.
I am not sure from a T-Mobile standing if they will give you a hard time with warranty if the Knox is 0x1. I have tripped my Knox counter, and have Jump also, but I honestly don't care. I am sure that SOMEHOW in the future we will be able to reset the Knox counter....I hope anyways.
Did that answer your question?

Yes you did! Thanks a lot. Important thing is at least I can root. I think I'll be happy with the stock TW, I'll just install some launcher instead.
But I need root for TB and other stuff.
Thanks!
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.

And what about this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2645471 ?
They claim it works.
I'm thinking of upgrading from my GS3, non lte, to the Note 3. As I've looked around the forms here, it would seem as though Knox is an added security measure so t-mobile can more easily detect root?
Is there a way to have root without tripping this counter? Is there a way to flash a custom Rom or kernel without tripping it?
If this has been answered apologize, I did look around before making new thread.
Thanks!
Also on a side note, white or black note 3?

Knox isn't really for T-mobile to detect root/custom firmware but for Samsung warranty. A fair amount of people on here have stated that they still sent their phones in to Sammy for warranty and they still got their phones fixed. T-mobile really only look for cracked screens, water damage and that the phone powers on and boots up. Not to say you'll never have an issue but i would say it's not really that big of a deal to trip the Knox counter. Especially if you bought the insurance like Asurion. I don't think they even care if your rooted and ROM'd
Awesome. My concern here is that I would be disqualified from the jump program... I'd like to get the Note 4 as soon as it comes out.. Is there currently any way to root and flash a room without tripping Knox? Or can we only root without tripping Knox?
Before this gets locked, yes you can root without tripping knox. As mentioned knox is for samsung to deny repairs if they see fit (if the phone is sent to them). Tmobile could care less if the phone is rooted or not. You just have to be careful about warranty repairs for samsung, thats what they may or may not look at.

On the old 4.3 firmware yes you can root with Root De La Vega and not trip the Knox counter but once you put ANY custom recovery it will trip the counter. Now on the OTA 4.4.2 that was released on Wednesday, the only 2 current ways to root (TWRP or Philz CWM) will trip the Knox counter no matter what. So until something comes out like an updated ROOT De La Vega, there's no way to even root without tripping the Knox counter.
Also from what i read, RDLV isn't being developed anymore so unless they decide to do something with it for the all the 4.4.2 releases hitting phones these days there may not be anything for a bit to root without tripping knox.

That is true for 4.3 but so far you can't on 4.4 from everything I have seen. Do you now of a way to not trip knox on 4.4?

Did I miss something? Is there a way to Root 4.4.2 without tripping Knox? I don't care I've tripped Knox the first night i had my N3 but I didn't think there was a way. Kningo and RDLV i thought borked the phones and caused bootloops.
My t-mobile store says that if you root your phone then it voids your warranty, so obviously they won't allow me to upgrade... So I know they check for it.. How is it you guys have stores where they don't seem to care?
Ok so I dont know if this has already been discussed but i have a 900t on 4.3 mj7...can i downgrade it to an earlier version of 4.3 that is rootable without tripping knox?

This may be of interest to you. So, there may be a way, but personally i recommend following this thread and grabbing the latest updates and going that route keeping Knox in tact. I hope this helps you out man.. Have a great night.

First of all, sorry for my bad english :silly:
I just rooted my tablet with the towelroot, and i used the phone INFO to see if my tablet was KNOX triggered, and it was not :fingers-crossed:
So after that i was thinking if is possible to unroot the tablet without changing the KNOX?
And if its possible, can you please give me a link to the process?

First, you need to boot into Odin (download) mode to see if Knox is triggered. You can't use Phone Info to see if Knox triggered. Knox is only triggered when you root, not when you unroot. If you rooted and knox is not triggered, when you unroot it should be the same.

Haven't been on this forum for a while, did someone figure out how to root without tripping Knox? Not that it matters, I've already tripped mine.

Hi RussellEstridge o/
As far as i know the the towelroot is one of a few methods that can root your Android without triggering it...
One of the good things about this root is that he doesn't need a computer to do the process.
Well, I hope you find a method to solve your situation... Good luck :fingers-crossed:
