Root without tripping Knox - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does the new Odin root work without tripping knox on 6.0.1?
If not is this like a normal root where some applications can detect is and won't work properly (eg banking apps)
It would be nice to have SU every now and then for specific apps such as titanium

No patch to this moment. For now it's impossible to root without the triggering knox.

i9505 XXUFNB8 4.4.2 Root Problem

I have i9505 XXUFNB8 4.4.2 Stock Firmware installed but the "CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505" does not work on it.
The root process seems OK with NO error or fail. but after root the SuperSU icon wont displayed. I've installed SuperSU via google Play but when I open it it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it."
How to root XXUFNB8 on i9505?

I had similar problem and what i did is:
1. Make a data backup of ur Internal Memory
2. Factory Reset ur phone (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything)
3. Root it again through "CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505"
4. Install Root Explorer for example (or other explorer for root devices) and delete this apps (coz KNOX app is blocking SuperSu):
KNOX in System/App folder:
ContainerAgent.apk
KNOXAgent.apk
ContainerEventsRelayManager.apk
KLMSAgent.apk
KnoxAttestationAgent.apk
KNOXStore.apk
KNOXStub.apk
SPDClient.apk
5. Recover your data of the step 1 to ur phone and install the apps you had before
6. Enjoy ur rooted device

This have happened to me also. the solution I found was to install CF Root flashable zip through CWM recovery. The SuperSU app did not appear in the app drawer, but I just downloaded it from Play Store and the device was properly rooted then.
this is the link that I downloaded the .zip root file:
http://download.chainfire.eu/382/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip
Problem Solved!
I was using an old version of CF-Auto-Root, so I download the updated version of CF-Auto-Root and root my i9505 running XXUFNB8 4.4.2 successfully. For those who have the same problem of mine download following file and follow the rooting tutorial. :good:

since you have the same device as me and since you have upgraded to kitkat as well, may I ask if there is a way to root the s4 XXUFNB8 without tripping knox?
If I'm right, the CF-AUTOROOT will trip the knox warranty void from 0x0 to 0x1.. but I could be wrong so can someone tell me if there is a way to do this or if the CF-AUTOROOT doesn't trip the knox warranty?
Thank you

Umm, I have already tripped the knox when I was on MJ6 android 4.3 with CF Auto Root.
I read somewhere that SafeRoot method does not trip the knox, but I don't know if Saferoot works on android 4.4.2 or not.

thank you for the reply but..
on their site there is no support for the international version of the sg4 (I9505) and plus of that I read on xda that kingo requires internet connection and also that backups your IMEI and other kind of stuff on their servers so.. I don't trust this procedure XS

BENC2 Root Issue
Got a stange root problem.
Have got stock firmware N9005XXUENC2_N9005OLBENC2_MM1. Installed using ODIN 3.09. Then applied CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005 Autoroot (Latest).
All applied fine except when a app now request root permissions SuperUser does not prompt for permissions.
Have checked root via number of apps. All showing ok. Super user launches fine but no app in register.
Even an app goes to request root permissions (eg File Explorer KitKat fix) it just hangs and does not user the prompt. Apps just hangs. All root requesting apps are the same. Hangs on initial access/prompt
Any fixes?

Have you lost root since? I've read a lot about people loosing root after a few hours to a couple of days. Any other issues, like random crashes / freezes / reboots?

That's why flashing TWRP and SuperSU is the safest/easiest way to root, it's about as straightforward as it gets

Wasn't aware I could flash a custom recovery on a stock unrooted phone. I don't use the s4, that's why both of the ones I own aren't rooted already, my personal phones are often rooted before I even get home from the store! I need root and su without tripping knox or making any significant changes to the current set-up on either phone. I would prefer the recovery was stock on at least one of 'em. So how should I go about this? One is a tri band and the other isn't. The dual band one needs to be as stealth as possible. Losing root really won't matter as long as the system permissions remain as is prior to losing root.

Flashing a custom recovery is going to trip knox. Why do you care about knox? Triband or not flashing TWRP and SuperSU is the same. If you lose root and have things that require root to operate, you will lose the function of those things, unless it's a one off type of thing

It's imperative that root is stealth. Just need to give one app already running su permissions. On one device knox is monitored, that's why I care. I wouldn't care on my s5, but I never tripped it anyway - rooted with modified stock recovery, flashed MOAR, flashed TWRP. Been using MAOR and TWRP since each was first released. Been rooted on my personal devices since 3 days after the Hero was released. I've just never rooted the s4 or "stealth rooted" any device. That's why Kingroot / SSM looks promising. Any help would be appreciated.

Systemless root question

Systemless root trip knox?
You can't root without installing a custom recovery, so yes.

Questions about TWRP and Rooting S8

Hi
I have a few questions about rooting, before I actually take this step.
In the past I rooted my S6 when I owned the S8.
I have never paid attention to the following points.
Is KNOX triggered after just installing TWRP?
If that is the case then the end message is.
If KNOX is not triggered, I have another question.
After I have installed TWRP I want to make a full backup and then root the device.
If I later want to undo the root and then use the backup. Is KNOX then in the old state again?
Thanks for answering!

Flashing anything that is not officially signed by Samsung will trip your Knox.
So flashing TWRP alone will trip Knox.
There is currently no fix for a tripped Knox. So restoring from a backup or flashing stock firmware will not fix this.

Root without tripping Knox

I was under the impression this was impossible, rooting without tripping Knox. However, I saw another member say this in another thread:
"You don't trip Knox as long as you leave system untouched, i think (i did not check download mode yet).
I installed TWRP via ODIN and did NOT "swipe to the right" in TWRP. Why should i anyway? Then i installed Magisk for systemless root.
Everything that needs Knox works, stock system partition is untouched, Knox is not tripped according to "Phone Info+" for Samsung.
I want to use it that way as long the phone gets official security updates to maintain warranty."
Would this work or is it BS? Thanks in advance.
When you flash TWRP which is an unsigned firmware, it will immediately trip Knox, regardless you modify the system or not. By installing TWRP, you are already modifying the firmware.
Just in short bull****. You are changing recovery and that is one of the checkpoints of Knox it sees a different hash, value, or missing a file and that triggers it.

I don't know too much about how it works, but maybe it is VMOS?

lol hes almost certainly tripped knox.. magisk actually sets the warranty bit to 0x0 (this is only visual) to trick apps that check it into thinking device is not unlocked so it can pass safetynet n such apps that detect root
