Hi folks, so I have an S4 with knox tripped according what says in Download mode. Is there any way to return the phone as close to stock as possible? Knox is tripped it won't let me flash stock firmware. I use Omega Roms and they have quite a few customisations in there. Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
Sorry if there is a similar thread, kindly provide a link if it is available.
I am Completely a knoob when it comes to rooting, have my note 2 for almost 6 months now i am on stock 4.4.2 (OTA) with knox, can any one tell me how to root and take efs and imei backup ( or can it be done without rooting) as well as to not trip knox and if OTA can still be received.
Questions
1. Will tripping knox harm the phone (physical or brick it forever – where to check knox counter?), i don’t care about warranty as the phone is more than a year old now.
2. Does the WiFi get affected or any other problem.
I would also like to flash Note 3 kitkat (stock) with S5 Mod is there a clear way to do this. By the way i have not done rooting or flashed other ROM’s before ever. I have searched through the forum but very confused as most have already rooted the phones before.
Sorry to post such a big question really like my phone and can’t afford another for some time.
If someone can help me i would really appreciate it. Thanks In advance.
Hello, I have read this thread and I want to know if this tutorial could work for our Galaxy S6 with PingPongRoot.
Has anyone tried it?
Thanks.
Hello,
It will work without impacting Knox if you only want to get root.
But when you will install a custom recovery to flash custom ROM ---> Knox +1...
No choice from now.
Ah cool. I don't feel so bad for tripping knox prior to ping-pong. I don't really mind Samsung pay at the moment anyway.

Seems like someone managed to flash a custom ROM on the S6 using FlashFire without tripping Knox: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433/post60748708

Hey guys,
today i switched from my beloved Note 3 to the S7, so i have some questions:
What does tripping KNOX have as downsides appart from not being able to use the KNOX apps( as on my Note 3) and loosing my warranty (which does not affect me as a EU citizen) have?
There is no KNOX 0x0 root for the S7 yet, right? only the CF-Root which does trip KNOX.
Does anyone have experience with the S7 and the GearVR? How is it?
Only one custom Rom (Super Man) for this device? For the Note 3 there were dozens...
I read that i will never get AOSP Roms or CM on the S7? Is that still true or are people finding ways to achieve this?
Thanks in advance

None other known issues for Knox 0x1.
Yes no known root without tripping the else.
GearVR is fun. Look at the gearvr forum.
Yes only one active custom rom for now.
Time will tell about aosp and cm. If bootloader unlock will come sometime for the sd variant I guess there will be. And if there comes working kernel sources for the exynos then maybe they get an aosp rom.

Why? I think it affects you?
Dear All,
I'm just discovering this world and I'm thinking to flash a custom ROM to my S8 Exynos because is becoming too slow.
I was reading a lot on internet but I have some questions:
1) I understood that if I flash a new custom ROM I will loose the Knox features, including Samsung Health?
2) I use a Galaxy Active 2 Watch, will it still work with a custom ROM on my S8? Including heart rate and health?
3) If I would turn back to original Samsung firmware, will I revert back the knox features?
Last but not least, which custom ROM would you suggest?
Thanks

Flashing anything besides Official Stock Firmware will trip your Knox. ie: TWRP,root,custom roms etc.
Reverting back to Stock Firmware will not fix your Knox - gone forever.
Best Roms to try i can't really tell you it's really a matter of personal choice. There are a few out there. You will have to check out in the Samsung Galaxy 8 Roms section and if you have any questions ( like no. 2 question ) ask them there. I would recommend reading the first few posts to see what you get and what you don't get and what issues other people have.
I'm on stock rom but i have tried LineageOS on one of my S8 and seems ok.
