Will the xposed framework trip knox 0x1 from the app itself? As long as you don't flash a custom rom/recovery/bootloader anyways.
I've read conflicting things and can't seem to find a direct answer.
Just recently rooted and am on the latest firmware FOL1 Lollipop 5.0 with root and knox 0x0.
Wanted to use a couple modules like AdAway and play youtube in the background. Possibly more assuming knox will stay 0x0.
For now edited the hosts file!
Xposed won't run on Stock Lollipop. A deodexed ROM must be used. So, if you want lollipop and the Xposed Framework, you'll have to trip knox to install a custom ROM, even if it is stock deodexed.

I actually had flashed a stock deodexed OB6 using FlashFire without tripping knox. When I flashed the unofficial framework v 75 with flashfire, it did not seem to work though... I believe I may have needed v71 according to reading a post with a similar issue. Requires another attempt, but for now I've decided to stick with my current setup.

Wow. I wasn't aware it was possible to flash a stock deodexed ROM without tripping Knox.
Wish I had known that before I installed twrp...

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 am new to this tablet so any advice but be appreciated.
If i update to kitkat I am told the knox security feature would be installed too.
What if I leave my note 8.0 on 4.2 and root and use custom roms and then if I decide to unroot and flash kitkat, would knox be triggered due to historic custom roms?

Pretty sure flashing a custom recovery will trip knox. No way around it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2800290
Ok thanks what if I just root and not flash a custom rom, would this trigger the knox?

It depends on the rooting method you use. The one I used to root 4.4.2 after I updated via Odin was Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root and that tripped KNOX because it installs an unsigned (by Samsung) custom recovery temporarily before re-flashing the stock version.
I've never used Kingo but they claim to be able to root the Note 3 without tripping the KNOX flag so their method using an Android vulnerability to gain temporary root might work for the Note 8.0 as well.
My suggestion would be to use these forums and Google to research all the current methods for rooting the Note 8.0 and make sure there are users who have done it successfully with the KitKat boot loader installed and not tripped the KNOX "warranty" indicator.
Based on the KNOX articles I've read it appears that flashing, or even booting, an insecure kernel can set the eFuse switch which is said to be "impossible" to reverse, so flashing custom kernels and ROM's is out even if you can get root with the stock ROM without tripping the indicator.
I can understand the requirement for KNOX in high security environments but automatically voiding the warranty is just encouraging users to brick their devices in ways that prevent the KNOX flag from being accessed. Perhaps Samsung's position is that once the eFuse flag is set even their service centers cannot reverse it so the device is not able to reconditioned and sold since a tripped KNOX flag also disables some security features in the stock ROM.
Edit: I just read your OP again and if you don't flash the 4.4.2 (KitKat) bootloader and root with CF-Auto-Root you should be fine, even flashing custom kernels and ROM's, and still go back to a completely stock configuration using Odin to install the stock 4.2.2 ROM and TriangleAway to reset the flash counter. AFAIK there is no check of any historical data when the KNOX enabled 4.4.2 bootloader is installed but I would make sure that TriangleAway has successfully reset the flash counter before upgrading just to be safe.

I currently have my SGS 3 stock rooted with TWRP 2.7 installed. The version of 4.3 I have installed doesn't contain the KNOX bootloader. I'd like to keep it that way should I decide to later move onto a custom rom. From what I've read, if KNOX is installed I won't be able to do that. Is this correct?
I've searched for 4.4 without KNOX, but I haven't been able to find anything. Does anyone here know if it is available? I don't have any major issues with the 4.3 stock rom. I did noticed that my battery drains slooowly if I'm using navigation and it's plugged in. I think that that issue may be due to the iBolt car dock I'm using. I don't think it allows anything over 1 amp for charging.
Should I just go ahead and installed a custom rom that is 4.4?
Thanks
I believe that KNOX doesn't restrict you from installing a 4.4 based ROM, but once you have KNOX you will not be able to downgrade to 4.3 or earlier release. An attempt to do so will permanently brick the phone.

You can install any rom zip on knox as long as you do not downgrade the boot loader via tar files or any other method that flashes every part of the phone.
Thanks stopeject and oeyhdownsouth.
hi my device sgh-i747m didn't come pre-installed with knox i just installed 4.3 stock rom because i can't find 4.1 jb stock rom for sgh-i747m bell. I noticed that when i open the knox app it is not fully installed and ask me if i want to download and install a 119mb of data.
My device is already rooted and i also successfully disable knox when superuser updates and ask if i want to disable it completely and now that i can use titanium backup i'm thinking of uninstalling it completely and not just disable, i mean is it fine to uninstall them and wouldn't affect some of my applications?

Just a question but is there a reason you are running a 4.3 Rom instead of 4.4.4 or even 5.0.x?
As for your question, It is my understanding that you cant just uninstall Knox, I believe disabling is your only option.
Once I did the upgrade to 4.4.4,then to 5.0.2 I don't have Knox AT ALL and believe me, the Knox thing was crap!
I hope I helped
There is a stock 4.1.1 on sammobile.com for the i747m.
Flash supersu via custom recovery and it should completely disable Knox.

hi again mr.audit13
this may be a late reply but i hope you see this.
can i just flashed 4.3 de-knox stock rom?
I do not recommend flashing a stock de-knoxed i747 ROM onto an i747m.
I found that supersu completely disabled knox. Try flashing supersu from a custom recovery.
Hi. (At the first I want to apologise about my bad english...)
I'm just rooted my Galaxy Tab S (SM-T700) With KingRoot. I have replaced Kinguser app with lastes SuperSu. Now I want to Flash zip for xposed framework but I don't have a custom recovery (I don't want to trip KNOX flag)... So my question is - should i Flash a zip for xposed in a Flashfire? If yes - can someone tell me how to Flash it? (With one package I need to chose and how to Flash it)
Flash with flashfire. Plenty of info here and google how to use it.
Can I flash it on pure stock?

No, in order to run xposed you need a rom which is deodexed. The stock rom is odexed.
You can flash a deodex rom with flashfire, tho. it won't trip knox. just be careful with kernels, if you flash another kernel than stock , knox will be tripped to 1.
