There's no "true" custom recovery for phones running MF3 or above. MF3 phones can run Safestrap. MDB/MDL phones still have the ability to boot into a true custom recovery using loki.

This is not the case at all. Mk6 is rogers / canaduan variant, and the bootloader is not locked. Root with cf auto root, and flash cwm or twrp via normal methods. You will trip knox counter, but you can run any recovery u like. MF3 is locked bootloader , mk6 is not.

Oops, didn't even realize it was i337m...:silly:
I used kingo app. One touch root. Knox safe. I verified the vroot iemi crap is all removed in new version. After your reboot, update supersu binary via normal method, cancel any knox popups, and choose not to allow supersu to disable knox. Use titanium backup and guides found here to freeze all knox stuff. Then busybox, xposed as normal. Dont install custom recovery if you want to keep knox 0x0. If you dont care, then install cwm/twrp as per normal

I deleted Knox completely from my phone as well as all the AT&T Bloatware. My phone is better without it.

Thanks a lot for that Kingo App, worked perfectly! I did get that Knox pop-up on 4.3 and I clicked view apps just to check it out.
2 Questions:
Anyways, how do you update supersu binary? There's no option or menu to do so and I didn't get a pop-up.
How do you choose not to allow supersu to disable Knox?
Thanks for the tip about not installing a custom recovery

regarding knox. It is safe to allow supersu to disable knox, i avoided it thinking it may trip bc wasn't sure how it went about freezing it. I tested, had supersu disable knox, rebooted, good to go.
Did an identical handset today, and failed to root. Did some poking and found out that kies3 appears to interfere with kingo, so uninstall temporarily when running kingo if you have issues.
Once supersu disabkes knox, you can then update the binaries via normal method. Also if kingo gets to the part where it asks about using odin method, say no, or it'll trip knox.unplug, reattach and try again. Had to do it thrice for an i377m i did today.
Heres what i did:
1 - connect usb to phone, and enable developer mode, then be sure to allow the dev prompt to always accept usb from this machine, phone will prompt to allow
2 - click root. Shouldn't get to odin question, id it does, dont allow odin method, restart the process.
3 - on successful root, you will see supersu install, grant it root, and allow it to disable knox.
4 update supersu binariez via normal method (don't need to use cwm/twrp on i377m only), it will prompt, until knox disabled, u wont be able to update binaries
5 - install busybox installer
I havent installed supersu as system app yet, i imagine its also safe to do so.
6 - check knox in download mode and ensure 0x0 for *both* knox codes
7- installed xposed and some modulez, greenify in particular, and enabled, recheck knox, still 0x0
Both phones i did with this method, once kies was removed, rooted BEFORE i had to install any camera exploits, or any other crap from play. If you habe trouble, reload samsung drivers, try another cable (i had a failure using a blackberry usb cable, switched to packaged smasung usb, worked fine), anothet usb, and even another computer. Old pc's with usb 1.1 wont work (well), usb 2/3 does work just fine.
Avoid clockworkmod, twrp, safesteap etc (or any other custom recovery) if you want to keep your warranty. If you dont care, then twrp/cwm work just fine, they will blow the knox efuse tho and set you 0x1. I work in IT and happen to know knox will work with exchange 2015 upon release. It will also screw up new versions of active sync, as your system isn't able meet the security requirements (having knox intact and not blown) of the organizations' corporate knox policies. Look for a bes like sys admin tool that expands on the remote wipe /lockz/ camera images etc, in the coming months. Exchange 2015 is still a ways away, but since you cant undo a blown efuse with any software, understand implications of blowing knox fully, not just warranty. And if you use exchange email, or plan to, keep knox untripped is best advice.

Yes. Ok, kingo is just an interface for all known exploits. The emei sniffing was actually being performed by vroot. Kingo was simply running existing vroot code. I talked to kingo support last week, who assured me that emei check was pulled during latest release, the vroot method is still present, however iz modified to remove those bad lines. When you run kingo, it opens a connection to kingo server to pull each exploit/patch as one method fails, pulls another, then another, as needed. This keeps package small, and allows for on the fly repo updatez on their end without having to re-release a package.
Kingo does not record emei at all any longer, it was vroot doing it, and kingo bc they simply ran vroot method without editing.
So you will see kingo go online to grab each exploit as required, in the new version, but no emei tracking any longer.
Besides the trojan that was used before in vroot, is picked up by avg free, so youd know if it were still doing it. I ran tcpview and tcpdump while flashing root to my device and didnt see any connections to china, any longer.
This can be verified on both odficial Facebook and Twitter account of kingo. Their intention is to at one point to charge a couple bucks for this app, having it exhibit malicious behaviour is bad for business. Youll notice vroot has no support or contact methods. Kingo does.

Thanks, btw I can't seem to software update after I rooted my phone. It says my software was modified. Does anyone know how I can get it to check for updates? I'm already on 4.3 but I know our S4 will get 4.4 in a few months.
I am still good with Knox, I am at 0x0 for both lines.
Btw, I did freeze Knox in titanium, but not uninstall, just freeze. I did freeze many other apps but nothing dangerous, just normal ones like Travel, google movies, magazines, etc..

You cannot update ota when system is modified, there is an xposed module that changes modified to official tho. Not sure if it trips knox, likely. When updates come, unroot, apply, reroot. There are other guides that can be found here to update keepinng root with odin, you'll have to use the search provided.
Feezing with Titanium backup is fine. Supersu doesnt delete knox, it disables knox notifications. The whole point here is not tripping knox. That's why supersu asks if you want to disable knox, and not delete it, bc only disables, knox services still present. Feezing with tb is same result. Just supsrsu is free, tb is paid (for freezing anyway), though if youre on these forums, should be using tb anyway , titanium backup, greenify donation, and tasker are 3 must have root apps. Tasker is great. I use it to auto enable bluetooth and wifi based on gps location, or driving in the car. Lots of youtube vids on tasker if you areny familiat with it.

Yep it does. Ive used it on a few i377m already. Wasn't available when i did mine. Kingo is relatively safe, latest release is, cant speak for previous or future versions. Kingo is just an interface that uses all known root methods (including vroot, and this method). Just keeps trying dif method til one works. Had this been available, would have used for mine. But it wasn't so setup a segregated lab at work, to test kingo and reports of malware. I didnt see any at that time via tcp dump and tcpview, however that could change since they just rip off other root methods/code to reuse, kingo does i mean. That said if you rooted with kingo, no need to repeat. Root is root (well, full root is full root), and no daemons u dont recognize running.

So first off, I am have a lot of questions that I might as well ask.
First, will rooting my Rogers Samsung Galaxy S4 I337m mess anything up with the carrier? Like, will i still be able to call and text, etc?
Secondly, can my carrier track that I have a rooted phone?
And this is the most important question, how do I actually root this phone? Most of the methods I have tried don't work because the security app "KNOX" keeps denying access for the root to happen. I have tried many ways to remove KNOX from the phone, but none of them work....So how do I actually root this phone without having KNOX shut me down?
Anyways, thanks for the help!

So ...based on the question, and the fact that this is your first post, it appears you have a fair bit of reading to get through before doing it but yes the phone does everything rooted as it did before, you just have access to the whole file system (which means you will have the ability to break things that were "roped off for your protection" before rooting)
No your carrier doesn't know or care you are rooted... unless you do break something and bring it in asking them to fix it, then they will tell you you broke it yourself tough luck. (unless of course you reverse everything back to stock first)
FIRST read all (really... read all of it) of the 2nd and 3rd thread in "AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General"
[GUIDE][INFO] The beginner's info thread (aka. the noob helper) and [HOW-TO] The ULTIMATE All-In-One Guide - I337M & MDL - MF3 - MK2
Then you can root. The "CF Auto-root" method works perfectly on all the Canadian carrier versions (they only differ in carrier bloat.), then install a custom recovery, then install a good backup utility, I suggest TiBu (which will also allow you to remove Knox).
Good luck.

Yes, I know this is my first post, and you may think I don't know much about rooting, but I have had some experience in the past. I did root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, first time I soft bricked it, then actually got to root and stuff to work, so I have some knowledge on what I am doing.
Those two threads that you have linked me, I have looked over and learn't some stuff from them. I have also downloaded CF Auto-Root for the I337m version. I know how to work it, through using Odin and download mode, exact same way I rooted my tablet.
I just have one more question though, rooting it with odin through download mode, that bypasses KNOX and allows the root to work? Cause if I tried rooting with any program like motochopper, KNOX would block it.

OK just didn't want you to brick your phone by not really understanding Odin... It is writing to the system partition and has been known to make a mess if the wrong files are dropped in the bootloader or if a download is interrupted.
I'm afraid all I really know about KNOX is from reading about the problems with the 1.x implementation and that the latest was supposed to be the solution for BYOD in a secure enterprise...
I Odined CF Auto-Root and had no issues whatsoever... I'm pretty sure KNOX can only run inside the OS, so in download mode you're outside of where it can interfere with anything. After the root and a custom recovery the first thing I did was freeze all KNOX and "enterprise" files just in case.

Okay. Hopefully KNOX doesn't interfere with anything. I also noticed in download mode:
Product Name: SGH-I337M
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
KNOX Kernel Lock: 0x0
KNOX Warranty Void: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x20
Write Protection: Enable
eMMC Burst Mode: Enabled
So which ones trip when I root it? I know that the 'Current Binary' will trip if I install a custom rom, but, what about the KNOX stuff? I know that the Warranty Void will then turn to '0x1' and I think the kernel lock will change too, but not 100% sure.
Also, what about Write Protection? Will that have anything to do with writing new software onto the phone and will block it?

You may want to look at the top of this page.... http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ states CF-auto root will trip Knox warranty... if your rooting, you should install a custom recovery and do a nand backup before you do anything else root without backup can have some ill side effects if you mess around with your files/apps... ie delete something that is critical.... of coruse custom recovery trips something else too I forget what it was but I am sure it's been discussed a couple times throughout the forum.... all I can say is read lots.... most times someone can get you out of a jam but I prefer not to go there in the first place.. so I read before I do.... most here will tell you it's the best way.... pay close attention to those who have messed up... good indication of what not to do....
One other thing I noticed was that there are locked boot loaders on certain devices.
So I have been wondering, does the Rogers Samsung Galaxy S4 come with a locked boot loader? Cause if it does, and I try and root my phone, there is a high chance that it will brick the device.
Hi Guys,
I'm basically knox free im on 4.2.2, can anyone give me
a: a brief guide to easiest way of rooting and installing a recovery i.e TW or CWM, hopefully one click solution?
b: If I go onto 4.4 kitkat will I have to have a knox bootloader even with a custom rom?, if so is 4.4 worth it?.
c: &
d:Mod Edit removed due to asking for best ROM ( not allowed on xda)
At the moment main thing I want to do is safely root and install recovery without triggering knox as I want the chance to install custom roms and not void my warranty as I can always use triangle away at a later date.
BTW have done a lot of reading but want to be 100% sure and would really like some experienced advice.
Many thanks
Mav
a) Use Saferoot -> HERE
b) TWRP -> All info HERE
c) and d) Try it by yourself. Read the rules of XDA too :highfive:
Thanks
but a few things, will rooting cause the knox to come on?, as im confused also how do i know if my bootloader is locked or not?, if it does make the bootloader custom can I change it back?.
Thanks
Mod Edit
You may continue with this thread , but please do not ask for best ROMS.
Saferoot , AFAIK , does not trip knox flag

If you have an old bootloader you won't even have KNOX on it, lucky you.
If you have the new bootloader, it comes with KNOX.
You can check if you have a new or old bootloader by putting your phone in Download mode (Volume down + Home + Power buttons).
If the the top left corner is syas stuff like "KNOX warenty" etc. you have the new one.
Rooting using saferoot as mentioned earlier will not trigger KNOX anyways.
Installing a custom Recovery as well as installing a custom ROM will trigger KNOX (if you indeed have the new bootloader with KNOX offcourse).
Dear XDA,
I come from the HTC One forum and I've sold since I've had camera issues numberous of times.
I decided to switch to an SGS 4, currently on 4.4.2. I have the i9505xxufnb9 variant.
I have a question regarding root.
1. I do not have knox installed yet, should I install it or leave it as it be when using CF-auto root? I'm currently on 4.4.2.
2. Is CF auto root compatible with my variant?
3. What version of Odin should I be running? I guess this is the most important. I don't want a sketchy Odin.exe that comes pre-set up. It might have some setting on that erases something that is crucial for my device.
4. Is there some sort of bootloader unlock I need to do first? My device is unbranded GT9505 version with the above written variant.
5. How likely am I to brick my device? I mean I come from the HTC one forum which was fairly easy. Setup fastboot and unlocking the bootloader did the job.
6. I came to understand it WILL trigger knox, does it mean voided warranty here in the Netherlands?
7. I understand that SuperSU has an option to unroot at any given time. When I want to return to stock for say warranty purposes, Can I download triangleaway, run it, and then unroot using SU app?
Thank you so much for your time!!
No one?
Cf autoroot comes with correct odin, if you do not have Knox don't install it, (you automatically get it if you took an ota). And no bootloader unlock is needed almost all Samsung devices come with an unlocked bootloader, and the only way you'll brick your device is if you flash something not meant for your phone or if you have knox and try downgrading your firmware...
And if you do have knox, rooting will permanently flag your device as modified with no way of going back. If you don't have knox you can use triangle away to reset the flash counter.

I'll make sure to give you your thanks tomorrow . I also got alot of help from the ask everything thread, thank you!
While searching for a root method that wouldn't trip KNOX I ran into KINGROOT. I also read that rooting using this method for the Note 4 meant only a temporary root access, that would cease to work when the phone was rebooted.
This temporary root could work for me as I'm trying to get access to the extSDcard in 4.4.4 (Lollipop didn't work out for me, horrible battery life).
So I was wondering if anyone has tested it... Here is the link to KINGROOT thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
I have it installed but I haven't tried it yet because I don't have time atm to reinstall everything if something goes wrong.
Have you tried it?
tried it, the phone just went to reboot then kingroot apps stated that no root available yet. so in the end, i just root the phone using chainfire root method,lol.
Framaroot doesn't work either. Cf auto root is the way to go

I have rooted with Kingroot, I've been following the SuperSuMe thread in the AT&T Note 4 General section. Kingroot works just fine if you reboot your phone after installing the apk and once the phone has rebooted then run the app to root. The root is only temporary though and WILL disappear when you reboot your phone and you will then have to rerun kingroot to root again.
Thanks for the replies

Did your Knox stay 0x0? A temporary root works for me, what I'm really hoping for is to enable external SD access to my apps. I'm guessing that if you enable it when rooted it won't go away after you lose root...

Yes Knox remains 0x0 because the kernel, bootloader, and recovery remain untouched. As far as the external SD access, it can be enabled, but from what I gather from the other thread, is that it will revert back if the phone reboots. The reason is due to a security check Sammy put into the boot process. So put plainly, you'd have to set it up again after rerooting.

And I like to do a backup using Titanium Backup every month or so, and that also needs root. A temp root would be perfect for me.
Will kingroot be able to work on lollipop after an update or are we SOL completely?
(BTW, Note 4, 5.1.1)

Yes Knox remains 0x0 because the kernel, bootloader, and recovery remain untouched. As far as the external SD access, it can be enabled, but from what I gather from the other thread, is that it will revert back if the phone reboots. The reason is due to a security check Sammy put into the boot process. So put plainly, you'd have to set it up again after rerooting.
