[Root] Knox stays (0x0) with Kingo android root

I was looking for a safe root so that my knox counter remained at 0x0
First flased the stock firmware with odin XXUEMK4 from SamMobile
and then with kingo root rooted my Note 2
and it works my counter remained 0x0
I used this youtube movie as an example, if I did everything right, and everything went well with my
Link to Kingo android root
This won't reset KNOX if you already void KNOX warranty

1- Download and install Samsung Kies or Samsung Mobile driver
2- Download "kingo"
3- On your device go to Settings/More/About device/
4- Tap 5 times on "build number" to enable "Developer option"
5- Enable "USB Debug Mode" from developer options
6- Connect your device to PC by USB cable and wait until "kingo" display the model of your device
7- Click the green Button and wait few seconds
8- After it reboot, you can unplug USB cable

Is there really already a Knox-workaround way to root the new 4.3 firmwares?
HAHAHA! That's awesome!

if this is true why nobody care about this method ? hurmmmm

Kingo Works Confirmed!!!
Just rooted my phone using Kingo
Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100
Build XXUEMK4 (India)
Knox Bootloader
WITHOUT tripping the Knox Counter!!!
Though Device status shows "Custom"
Can be taken care of by Using Xpose Framework & Wanam
Thanks.

Does this apply to GT-N7105 Galaxy Note 2 LTE?

to use xpose or wanam you must have deodexed rom

Nope. Has nothing to do with odex/deodex.
BTW. If this method works, it's the first workaround without tripping knox.
No more using older bootloaders I guess. Nice find!

Ok so please check your phone through Odin to see if really your counter stays 0x0 an show us a screenshot.
This will be the definitive confirmation.

Kingo works 100%
Have been using this rooted phone for more than a few days without any problems.
Had downloaded the OTA though.
Had not flashed MK4 firmware via Odin but it should not make a difference.
Have not tried the wanam & xpose process ... will try it today and give u all an update.
I am purely on a stock rom (odexed)
Just wanted to root the device without any custom notifications or tripping any counters
I guess this Kingo method serves the purpose...so far until something better turns up.
This is purely for those who are on STOCK Rom & want to root their Phones and are afraid of tripping their Knox Counter etc.
Follow this post for further instructions on rooting via Kingo & Wanam & Xpose (for making Device Status from Custom/Modified to Official)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509244
Major.
PS. Device status showing Custom/Modified will not allow you to update your phone via OTA.
If you want to Make it official as I mentioned u can use Wanam & Xpose
OR
Flash the original Stock ROM via ODIN (You will lose the ROOT though)

PROOF!!!

looks correctly , thanks for posting it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but since we have root on a non modified Knox status phone, we can pull the bootloader and system info, then try to break the fuse and compare it to the untouched status one? @Chainfire

Could be possible...
As after rooting by this method I personally feel this Knox thing is more kind of software related rather than Hardware.
If Kingo can bypass this and root so can our senior Dev Team too can.
Although, I don't understand much of this mambo-jumbo in programming..am always ready to help.

[ASK] Root s4 i9500

i'm sorry, i want to ask something.
how to root galaxy s4 without tripped knox?
i'm use s4 i9500 I9500DXUEMJ5
thanks for reply

Root
You can't root your phone I9500DXUEMJ5 without tripped knox.
In fact, there is only one solution : use Kingo root app.
But... XDA does not approve this app because it seems send data to China when you try to root your phone with this tool.
Sorry for my english, I hope you understand what I wanted to say.

For people who want to root, no need to say more (if no problem with knox flag) because like it was said before : CF-Auto-Root is the best tool.

SM-N910C Rooting Questions

Hi Guys,
I ordered SM-N910C (Note4) and I should be able to received them sometime nextweek. Now, being said, rooting the device came into my mind .
1. SM-N910C (open line/ not carrier lock) can be rooted as long as its Boothloader unlocked , right? - if boothloader lock, is there a way to unlock it at this point?
2. Once I rooted and Installed TWRP/CWM, can I restore them to default/ Stock recovery ?
3. Once rooted, do I still get update on Samsung Apps via Samsung store?
4. Once rooted, Can i still update the firmware as soon as Samsung released new version such as 5.0 (understand that I need to manually upgrade it) - I think I read somewhere that if Note 4 is rooted, you will not be able to upgrade to 5.0 even doing it manually, im not sure if it is 100% correct.
5. Once rooted, other samsung apps will still work , right? such S Healh, S Voice, etc (all N4 feature).. is there any feature/ samsung app that stops working as soon as we root the device?
6. I know Note4 camera is really good, but I found this site, that we can still boost Note4 camera by replacing the camera apk, http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-boost-galaxy-note-4-camera-performance-using-mod-1473882 .. anybody already tested this ? wondering how it performs..
7. Planning to root it using CF Auto Root.
I understand that rooting N4 will trip Knox (let me know if there are new procedure that will not trip knox).
Thanks

1.You can root without touching bootloader.
2.Yes
3.Yes
4.Yes. but you have to flash stock ROM manually with odin (Never heard you can't flash ROM with odin bcoz of rooted status)
5.There may be some app got broken like S health,screen mirror and some banking app etc . but almost have FIX for it.
6.Your linked content is from XDA source only, search in theme and app section
7. My preferred method is flash CWM/TWRP and flash SuperSU zip (CF auto differ only by keeping recovery stock, which actually have no meaning but lot limitation is there)
No method there to root without tripping knox
PS : This topic goes to Q&A NOT in development

1.i don't think any note4's BL is Locked...or if there is any there will be unlockers soon.
2.yes, with odin.
3.yes.
4.you can update it with Odin.where do you Read it??! (if there was any problem you can use Custom Roms..Or Deodexed Lollipop Roms and Flash Them via Recovery)
5.i know if you root New Samsung Devices With CF-Root Method and others like it KNOX Will Trip...its mean All Security things that Use Knox will not work anymore Like Billing Services...go to settings/about phone and see them.
6......i don't know too
7.see 5.
i didn't root my N910C too and waiting for new procedure

Thanks, dr.ketan and genius.lizard2.
I;ve been looking for CF-Auto-Root file for Note 4 SM-N910C, and I only found this.
SM-N910C (Thailand, Exynos): CF-Auto-Root-trelte-treltexx-smn910c.zip
I am from Philippines , do you think above file will be compatible? What will be the effect? and I am not sure where my SM-N910C came from as I also saw bunch of SM-N910C from different country.
Thanks.

Hi guys do you know if we can expect a knox 0x0 root method, like towelroot for our notes?

Not at this point, definitely rooting will trip Knox 0x1, at least for now.

yes CF-Auto-Root-trelte-treltexx-smn910c.zip is for N910C Find it From Here:

now that i'm thinking....i can't wait anymore for Another method..i'm going for CF Root too.

Please update us when you already rooted it and how it goes. My note 4 will arrive next week.
The cf-auto-root I found is Thailand version of SM-N910C, I'm afraid that it might not compatible with other version SM-N910C, or we encounter issues (different langauage?)
Anybody who tried this on any SM-N910S?

download official .tar.md5 ROM file from sammobile or if you have one use it.open it with Winrar.there is recovery.img , extract it.
make a tar file with this img file...you can do it with linux or a batch file in windows like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269

HI guys,
After rooting, would you recommend installing TWRP or just use stoxk recovery? And what is the advantage of TWRP over stock recovery?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app

With TWRP or other recovery, you can flash custom ROMs and MODs. That is the only purpose of it.

what is the best for root galaxy a3?

waiting for me arrivals [I ordered today] I am preparing to root immediately but I have doubts
- Some who have used cf-autoroot had problems [the phone start always in recovery]
- Towelroot and kingoroot on their sites do not speak of compatibility wth this device
- Framaroot? does it work? but did not in the list
suggest me because I'm afraid of brick just bought [and i love xposed]

Use kingoroot. No knox tripping.
Cf auto root works but trips the knox.

without root and this mod, for me, my telephone is an "half" telephone

the phone arrived, I did the whole procedure with kingoroot , rootchecker and told me that I had got the root. then a message informed me that SE Linux would reactivated to restart. restart and lose the root. knox is definitely keeping me from, how should I do?

I've had similar problem with KingRoot. Lost root after every reboot (I used SuperSume previously to replace it with SuperSu). However, sometimes root access was intact. Then i copied su binary from /system/xbin to /system/bin/.ext (yes, dot ext) and after that problem was gone.

i was tryed SuperSU app and the message is "impossible to disable knox"
i think is knox the problem.i would to try to re-root, immediatly freeze knox apps with titanium or similar, then reboot.
but with this device i very very afraid of bootlop or brick, also because we haven't a recovery for solve problems [nandroid backup save me may times with s4 mini]
tomorrow i re-try, tonight the eletric line in my city is on-off [many air conditioners busy the line!!!]

since it can be useful for other users, I notice that I was able to solve the problems. before i freeze the knox apps with uninstaller pro, then I removed manually with root explorer [uninstaller pro could not eliminate them], so I have not gone more posts by SElinux and the root is safe and full garanted. xposed ok. please not install SuperSU because was in conflict with the similar app provided by kingo
who should serve: root with kingoroot from PC > elimination knox apks> reboot
I read now that are coming to the recovery ... interesting !!!

Cf aouto root is king but if you dont like it or have problems try downloading towel root or kingroot onbthe phone or kingoroot on windows or try cyanogenmod installer.

If you root you'll trip Knox and potentially lose your warranty. There's no way around it.
To unroot just flash a stock rom (that you just found) with Odin

This is the same method I used on the W8 model and it worked perfectly. When I decided to unroot, I downloaded the firmware from sammobile and flashed via odin, and that also worked flawlessly.
