root without twrp - Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers

Hey guys, how are you? I have a question I would like to root my galaxy a50 without installing twrp so as not to modify the system and continue receiving updates, would it be possible in any way?
Thanks for your time.
regards
Galaxy a50 android 10 stock.

You can root your a50 without installing twrp by patching the stock AP file but you still trip your knox and lose OTA updates

Will 4.1.2 Loose Exynos Abuse Root?

I'm rooted using exynos abuse. Still stock, use root to remove unwanted apps and to install some root apps like titanium backup.
I haven't received the 4.1.2 update yet, but when loose root? If so what is the recommended way to update but stay stock.

You have rooted device so likely you won't get OTA updates
Possibilites to update
1.Unroot and update with OTA/Kies - If your updated ROM(very likely) contain new bootloader, then exynose abuse won't work
2.Download full ROM and flash with Mobile Odin - iy will keep root intact as well you can still use exynose abuse, but your device won't get new bootloader and still you need to protect your device with exynose exploit.
3.Update with Odin, you will lose root still you can use method1 from this post to root device.

your device will remain stock but just rooted, you can reset counter with Triangle away.

[Q] GT-N7100 rooted on Android 4.3 Knox 0x1 can't update OTA

Hi
I am using Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100
I did a mistake by not doing more research before rooting my phone and now my Knox flag is 0x1.
I upgraded my phone to Android 4.3 then rooted it with Chainfire autoroot using Odin.
Now I am not able to remove KNOX bootloader also if I try to flash a KNOX free bootloader Odin show unsupported device error and device gets soft brick then I have to flash Chainfire autoroot again to start the device again.
Is there any way to get KNOX free bootloader? or to be with Knox bootloader but everything fine like it was before.
Disadvantages are
I can't use Knox feature now.
Cannot update my device OTA or through Samsung Kies so downloading form Sammobile and flashing takes a lot of time.
I don't have any other problem I am running on stock rom 4.3 but I want that I should able to update my mobile OTA and if possible able to use KNOX feature again.
Thank you
Have a nice day

So far, this issue of 0x1 back to 0x0 is still fly high in the air. I read a lot of thread regarding this issue, until I myself also a bit headache
But, from my understanding after reading so many thread... Once it tripped, there's no way to return back. And you can't (theoritically) to revert back to 4.1.2 bootloader, but perhaps, there's a way. And yes, once it tripped, you can't use any KNOX features.
I still have no better conclusion as well regarding this issue. I got read 1 time somebody is able to revert back to 4.1.2, but still with KNOX 0x1. Most are failed. You may want to read all the thread regarding this issue with a search.
I'm here not to answer exactly on how to revert back. But just to share what I know regarding this tripping issue. To be frank... I also want to know about this, as I need to root my MJ7 Note 3, which so far... no solution yet for the tripping KNOX, so I still hold on to it.
YOu can root if you have not trip 0x1 without tripping it.

I also want to know about this said:
I found a way today on the internet that If Note 2 is at 0x0 flag you can root it without increasing the count but it will show custom that you can revert back to original by triangle away may be there is a way for Note 3 too.
I have already rooted so problem starts here

I used triangle away also this is my device status in Downloading mode.
Custom binary download No
Current Binary Samsung Official
System Status Offcial
Knox Warranty Void 1
but in Software update you device is modified. May it is showing you because you have already the latest update. Please can you tell me the Device status in Downloading mode also please report back if you are able or not to download update OTA when available.
Thank you.
Same boat
My phone is in the same boat as you. My desire was not so much KNOX as to have 4.3 with phone encryption and root. In order to succeed with my desire, I have to leave the stock 4.3 recovery intact. This greatly reduces my root options. I had root before the update, but it was unable to update after going to 4.3. I tried Kingo in an attempt to fix root, but to no avail. I decided to unroot and re-root. I used Kingo to unroot. From there I had to run saferoot a few times before it was finally able to install SuperSU and associated files. The version it installed is the latest so I'll have to wait until the next release to find out if it can update. Everything else seems to work fine except ES File Explorer appears to no longer be able to mount the /system RW.
saferoot can be found over here

[Q] Please help me. Knox!

Hello guys!!!
I have a Galaxy Note II N7100 for the past 1 year. I recently installed Hurricane v 8 rom which is based on 4.3 firmware.As I was using it, I realized the RAM was increasing up to 1.3 GB, the only thing that could fix it was to reboot the phone. Later I watched a youtube review of a Note II with an official 4.3 installed and the RAM was about 600 MB on that persons phone. So I went ahead and downloaded a 4.3 firmware N7100DDUEML4 from sammobile.com. After the installation via Odin I boot the phone and it was fine. I read a few articles on how I can root the 4.3 firmware with CF Autoroot and did it as it should be done. After the reboot, Knox blocked the SU and the KNOX flag went to 0x1. After all this I decided to install Philz Recovery via Odin and got access to recovery. My plan was to recover my Hurricane Rom that I previously backed up. After Philz recovery restored the Hurricane Rom, I got stack on Boot Screen. Because Knox is flagged 0x1 I can't install any firmware via Odin anymore. So the next step I did is to restore my phone via Kies. I managed to successfully restore it and now I have a 4.3 firmware N7100XXUEMK9 firmware and Android Status As Enforcing. How can I get root access with this firmware and what should I do with Knox flag 0x1?
Thank you in advance guys!!!
The SafeRoot exploit has been confirmed working for N7100 too (check here), but it can't help to reverse Knox flag 0x1. Try it out. it should work. Anyway, why bother warranty after 12 months?

Thank you so much for your reply, yeah it is true but it is not that I am worried about the warranty, I want to revert back to a different rom and patch a bootloader so I can install custom firmwares.MJ5 bootloader patch doesn't work for me. Is it possible at this time to patch this MK9 or it is still unsolved issue? Thank you once again for your reply.
I have read a lot of posts & make sure I understand the details before I upgrade to v4.3. The far too many failures for upgrades that I've ever seen prior to v4.3 make me more conscious than ever. I'm on MJ5 bootloader & successfully loaded two different custom ROMs without any problem. I suggest you to do more reading in this forums prior to the upgrade. If you're on bootloader newer than MJ5 then I would suggest to stay with the bootloader & root it with the Safeboot method then clean up the KNOX crap. It should work great after the upgrade, root & clean up. cheers.

SM-T800 Rooted & Want to Update

I used the method from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/guide-how-to-root-tripping-knox-kitkat-t3129484 to root my SM-T800. So I'm on BOE3 right now with root. I want to update to BOJ1 and keep root.
When I do an update check, it tells me that I can't update because my device is modified. How do I get the update and keep root? Is there a guide that I have overlooked?
Thank you for the help.
I have noticed that the updater refuses to work not only when you have root, but sometimes even when you have TWRP installed without root. Anyways.. there are many options there, but I have no idea if they work without tripping knox bit (who cares about it anyways?).
The first thing you can try is to run the full unroot procedure from inside of supersu. This will remove root, and then you can try to install OTA update again. If that still doesn't work, you can backup your data, flash the KitKat ROM with odin, and then install OTA update. Or alternatively, just flash the latest Lollipop image (this will lose all your data and mods, and trip the knox).

Unless I'm misunderstanding, won't that make me lose root? I want to keep root.
All you need do is flash the firmware with FLASHFIRE. You will then keep root without tripping knox.
See the kingroot guide for more info.

Once you update to the latest ROM, then you can get root again, by flashing cf-autoroot or something else. (Again, this will set off the knox bit, but it's useless anyways)

OK. I just wasn't 100% sure that method would work for the newest update. Time to find where to download the latest firmware.
Alright, I flashed BOJ1 with Flashfire and I still have root. My bootloader says BOE3. Do I need to flash the BOJ1 bootloader? I believe the answer is yes, but just want to make sure.

If everything works then no, but may as well if you want the latest.

OTA update after root

I recently bought S9 and planning to root. After root, can I install OTA, if I'm on stock ROM (Magisk system-less root, without changing any partition)? I searched this in many threads and I still have no clear idea, the OTA update fails on stock or the custom roms.
(I previously used Huawei and Xiaomi phones and they flawlessly installed OTA updates within root, root lost after update but anyway updated ).
Yes OTA works as long as the firmware you are on is stock firmware without any mods/custom
Status must stay "Official"
