Is it possible to root P605 with Lollipop 5.1.1 without tripping knox.
What is the best metod to root P605 with 5.1.1?
Not possible to root any samsung device without tripping knox...
Easiest way, if you want a custom rom, is to flash twrp on it then flash the custom rom.
You now need a modified kernel or boot image to run a rooted 5.1.1 rom.
It was possible on kitkat (older release) with towelroot.

Yep, but that exploit was fixed with later versions of Kitkat. Now we need to actually modify the boot image or the kernel to get root access on Lollipop 5.1.1.
With Google pressing for security on Android it may, in the future, get very hard to root Android and that will be a crying shame...

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?
Is there a way to upgrade Sprint Galaxy Note 2 from official 4.1.2 rooted to official KitKat WITHOUT KNOX and retain root?
Baseband Version L900VPAMC2 Build number JZO54K.L900VPAMC2
THANKS
Nope!!!!

If you inslall the official 4.3 or 4.4 OTA it will come with knox. The only way around it is to flash a custom rooted rom either 4.3 or 4.4.
OR you can take the 4.3 OTA then the 4.4 OTA then root and manually remove the knox files with Root Explorer etc. You can take the OTA's but what's the point in doing that if you want to have root and no knox? Just flash a custom rooted no knox 4.4 ROM. Much easier.
Goodmorning.
I've seen various posts regarding the problem in rooting some P605 models. Anyone had is own solution but all scares me very much (who want to install the P900 mod, who wnat to flash with a file for P607).
I've found no solution right for the P605.
I updated my firmware to 4.4.2 version and now wanted to root: I tried several files for P605 (CF-Auto-Root-lt03lte-lt03ltexx-smp605.zip and also CF-Auto-Root.tar) but all gave me problems in boot loop. Even if Odin (3.9 version) after few loops gave me result of complete opeartion, but the loop never stopped. So I had to flash again the 4.4.2 version.
maybe my problem is that my P605 comes from 3 carrier from Austria.
I updated the firmware (so I also unbranded it) and made the carrier unlock (by paying).
I still look for a way to root it.
thanks for the help
Current CF Auto Root DOES NOT work with stock 4.4 ROM, period.
Flash your stock 4.4 rom and install TWRP with ODIN, then flash supersu with TWRP and the tablet is now rooted.
Use towelroot and keep knox 0x0.

Done just now. it works. easy and quick:
please remember to disable auto firmware upgrade to avoid the block of the root done by android.
thanks)

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 have a Note 3 and im trying to figure out the process of rooting without tripping the Knox Counter. I rooted my Note 2, years ago and has been awhile. Also like to know is there a "triangle away" method to reset the counter.
Model: SM-900T
Android: 5.0
Baseband: N900TUVUFOL1
Kernel: 3.4.0-6005498
Knox: 2.3
Thanks in advance
As far as I know, there is no way to root without tripping Knox.
If the phone is not under warranty, tripping knox should not be an issue. I have tripped Knox on a few phones and have never had an issue.
I asked the same question a while back, and only just 2 days ago rooted my SM-N900T knox 0x0. Asked: Here.
To achieve root on the note 3 without tripping knox you must downgrade from the Lollipop firmware OB6, or FOL1 to NE6 using PC Odin.
Once downgraded to NE6 download and use TowelRoot. This will unlock root without tripping knox, NE6 was the last vulnerable firmware for towelroot on the t-mobile note 3.
Make sure you are flashing official t-mobile firmwares only for kitkat/lollipop when using PC odin.
Flashing any custom recovery, kernal, rom, bootloader, or no longer supported android version (4.3 jellybean) will trip knox.
You can use sammobile to get official firmwares, or if you're risky there are likely download mirrors scattered through the internet.
Once you're rooted on kitkat NE6, to get back to Lollipop and keep root you'll need Mobile Odin Pro to flash FOL1 with the latest Super SU Zip v2.46. (instructions first page of this thread: Here.)
Rooting seems to require some gonads and research first.
When using PC Odin I left options default (Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time).
When using Mobile Odin Pro (or maybe flashfire) make sure to uncheck EverRoot!
Flashfire is the newer free mobile odin pro I think. You might be able to use it in place of Mobile Odin Pro and instead of the supersu zip in addition to flashing FOL1 it comes with an option to inject SuperSU.
I recommend sticking with mobile odin pro for confirmed results. MOP does not support Lollipop.
Note that once you're rooted and upgrade to Lollipop your android system status will change from normal to custom. This prevents future OTA updates.
Root survives factory reset, but flashing official firmware with pc odin will make your phone genuine again as long as you didn't trip knox.
Downgrading to kitkat will very likely require a factory restore. Possibly also when upgrading back to Lollipop.
Note that the XPosed framework on lollipop and samsung touchwiz stock roms does not seem supported.
It seems some people have flashed a Deodexed rom and unofficial xposed to have it working. I made a single attempt and was unable to have it working.
I assume you could stay on kitkat and manage to get xposed working easy.
If you decide to use xposed, do not try to flash the framework without mobile odin pro, or flashfire.
Using a custom recovery, or flashing anything custom with PC Odin will trip knox.
Look over the information around to get a comfortable understanding and good luck!
Proceed only with the understanding that you could always on accident trip knox, or brick your phone.
I believe there is no known way to reset knox flag to 0 on the SM-N900T.
For future readers using a newer firmware than FOL1 it may no longer be possible to pc odin downgrade to kitkat without tripping knox.
So there is no way of downgrading without tripping knox
You can downgrade to kitkat NE6 using PC odin from t-mobile lollipop firmware OB6/OL1. (OL1 being the latest lollipop firmware, OB6 a version older). Once on kitkat NE6 firmware u can use towelroot to gain root and you will not trip knox. Unless you manage to check an option somewhere during this process that would cause you to trip knox. .
As stated, I achieved downgrading/rooting without tripping knox just a couple days ago from the current latest t-mobile galaxy note 3 (SM-N900T) firmware FOL1.
I then upgraded back from KitKat NE6 to Lollipop FOL1 using mobile odin pro.
You can probably downgrade to any 4.4 kitkat firmware, NOT 4.3 jellybean, just fine without tripping knox if you have a kitkat, or lollipop firmware up to FOL1.
I'll try it later, I also want to know if custom roms are possible
From what I've read you can install a custom rom as long as it has a stock kernel, otherwise you trip knox. You would need to flash with flashfire, or mobile odin pro though...
I've only used the stock firmware on my note 3 so don't completely know about using a custom rom.
I don't think a custom ROM can be flash via Odin. A custom ROM requires a custom recovery and a custom recovery will trip Knox on a stock KK or LP AFAIK.
Ohh ok. This is all sorta new to me as well. I had just assumed mobile odin pro could because FlashFire is its "successor".
