I just rooted without tripping the Knox flag. There's a thread in the Original Development section about it. It's a fairly simple process

If you want to flash roms then you should go with the auto root method. This just gives root access.

Just double checking that no one is bricking with it.
Although with att root can I auto root later? I like phone as is minus bloat for now.
You said you don't care about knox so why go down that road?

You sir are correct... Towelroot is not supported on NL1 using my P600 in process of downgrading and flashing custom as I am not happy with the performance of the new update.

I rooted NI1 using the same tool so it should be ok. Towelroot never work with p600 so you your case is not valid.

Thanks, this is I want to hear and now I can update.
Thought since geohot worked for google and all new updates would make towelroot unvalid.

[Q] Can you do this?

My Tab S is currently rooted and running on the UK version of the Samsung Firmware 4.4.2. Is it possible to flash/install Samsung Firmware from a different country, one that now has 5.0.2, without the Tab S experiencing any adverse effects?
Thanks

Thank you for the quick response. I'm quite new to this rooting/flashing process and was wondering what are the differences between the Samsung Tab S Firmwares? I was thinking if it was possible to flash/install the Canadian 5.0.2 firmware via Odin but wasn't sure what to expect in terms of what my Tab S behaves and looks like now. Does it matter that my Tab S is rooted?
Thanks.

It seems to have worked. I have noticed though that I've lost Root so presumably I'll have to re-root and re-install TWRP?

I also flashed a TWRP Custom Recovery.
You don't need to use cfauto root as well as twrp. Twrp is capable of rooting any device on its own. Just Install twrp, boot into twrp then select reboot. You will then be prompted to root.

Update to BOL1 and Keep Root

I'm currently on BOJ1 and rooted. I want to update to the latest T800XXU1BOL1 and keep root. I have the BOL1 OTA zip. Can I just flash it with Flashfire?
Thanks in advance.
