I want to root the tablet, but I was told Knox would be tripped if I do. How would having knox tripped affect me with Roms and my general use with the tablet? is there a root without tripping it?
This is answered in three cf auti root thread.
There's no root without Knox tripping. If tripped you can't go back untripped. It does affect warranty. Technically does not make any difference.
Anyone ever used the Jump Program with a Knox tripped phone?
I think they just check to see if the phone is stolen or not.
Sorry for the noobish question, but I keep hearing about this Knox counter thing on the Root Bounty threads, that people will pay extra if it doesn't trip Knox.
Can someone tell me WHAT Knox is, what it's significance is to the phone and to rooting/flashing?

Knox is built in security that samsung has created. problem is that when you root, it trips a knox counter so samsung or verizon can simply power the phone into the bootloader and see knox is tripped, and right away know the device is rooted, which voids any warranties.

Can Knox be removed somehow? Have other phones with Knox been successfully rooted without tripping it?

No, knox can not be removed. It also can NOT be reset. Yes, phones have been rooted without tripping knox. I had my Verizon Note 3 rooted and knox was not tripped.
Basically, here's how I explained it to a friend. Think of knox, as a saftey line keeping you from opening your car's hood. Your warranty is fine as long as you don't mess with the engine. You decide to cut that line, and pop the hood. That's tripping knox. If you tried to modify the engine and ended up blowing it up, yeah, you ****ed up! However, if didn't touch the engine, and then later had your car's horn stop working, it doesn't matter. Because you popped the hood, your engine car's warranty is GONE!
I bought a P600 the Christmas before last. I didn't want to trip the Knox fuse so it is the only Android device I have never rooted. Having had it 18m now, I am highly unlikely ever to try to claim on any warranty so I want to root it now. I have two questions.
1. Is it still not possible to root this device without tripping the Knox fuse?
2. For those who did root tripping the Knox fuse some time ago, have there been any negative consequences of doing so?

I'm not sure if anyone tried kingroot but it works on KitKat for the Tab S. You can try it on the firmware your on now but if it doesn't work, you may need to find the oldest kitkat firmware then try again.

If you trip Knox, warranty may be void and Samsung may refuse to service it for defective units. But some say they got it services even if it was tripped. 50/50 chance

Samsung and or tmobile don't care if the phone is rooted with knox tripped.
Have a great day.
had anybody actually tried to send in their rooted edge+ for any reason and ended up being rejected because of root?
I've sent tmobile, Samsung and asurant my rooted phone. Never had any issues.
Sent my Knox tripped S6 edge+ in and it was denied service because of Knox being tripped
