Root Method. safe or not? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to root my I9500 and I dont want to take any chances with the Knox counter.
So while surfing different sites i came across This. The one click and step by step method.
Is this a knox safe method or not?
Thanks in advance.

Yup

No
I suggest the conventional method.

But knox is the main criteria. Flashing philz or anything would trigger knox. I dont want that to happen.

I told you earlier..there is no way!
Why spamming the Q&A thread.
Im using a i9500 with a burnt knox fuse
Haha
If you want to try roms for i9500..just burn it..
Edit : either use cf-autoroot..
or
Download philz...
download deknox script..
flash philz via odin..
run script in philz recovery..
then in philz options..reroot phone..

Kingroot works on my A700H, and it doesn't trip knox counter. However it might trip the custom OS counter, so you will have to use Triangle Away.
P.S: I only tested this for 4.4.4, and is A700H, which is 3G Dual-SIM, so it might not work for the FD.

using tirangle away may trip knox....

I don't want to Deodex and/or use Xposed for now, just root is good for me. Deleted the unwanted games that came in stock, disabled the SecurityLogAgent, Knox and ANT, installed DroidWall, thats it for me.
SM-A700F is not working unfortunately...........

Yeah, I've tried with FD variant as I writed in the Thread Title. On official site doesn't even have any of A Series models listed on suported devices, so it's a shot in the dark. :fingers-crossed:
I just got tired of those crap bloatware and games, and decided to give a try, and "voilĂ ", I got lucky. :victory:

Say thanks to the chineses guys who created the KingRoot! I'm just spreading the happiness :highfive: but thank you btw :good:
After root you will keep getting a Notification saying "SE for Android has been disabled..." and asking for restart the device, to get rid of this message disable SecurityLogAgent (doesn't Uninstall, just Disable) GG
