(Q) newb question regarding tripping knox

So I've been rooting my Samsungs since my Galaxy S2, but tripping Knox has always been unclear... As of know I'm running stock recovery, stock NE5 rooted and have 0x0... Does that mean I have not tripped Knox yet?
And if it doesn't, will I trip Knox by flashing a custom recovery?

That is correct, you have not tripped Knox yet, and yes, flashing custom recovery will trip Knox

Ok thank you. Other than voiding warranty by tripping Knox, is there any other consequence?
Will I still be able to run art, use every feature on the phone if I do trip Knox?

Is there someone trying to root SM-G920V 5.0.2 G920VVRU2AOF1 ?!

I was searching through diferent threats like http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-root-tool-t3103016/post62164597#post62164597 , all informations says that pingpong root will never work on SM-G920V 5.0.2 G920VVRU2AOF1 or Lolipop 5.1.1 and no one should wait for a PingPong update cause PinPong will never be able to root them, can anybody tell me if some one is trying any other exploit about this built's ?!?!

You can root with CF auto root. This will trip Knox flag (don't know if you care).

As you told me about this method CT Auto Root ( I never heard before) , i was searching online for it and I found the website https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ , i dont know how Knox Flag will effect my Galaxy S6 , but presuming that's not a big deal , the CF Auto Root website doesn't show anything about SM-G920V , or maybe they haven't update all supported models !
Anyway thanks for replying !

auto root does NOT work on verizon or ATT variants since we have locked BL's

@1663 Tripping knox will void your warranty (unless you are in the EU it's debatable). Secondly you won't be able to use Samsung Pay.

I could care less about Samsung Pay. Wherever they accept SP they will accept Google Wallet, for the most part. I just bought mine brand new and it came with this build. I'm really regretting this device. I hope someone roots it, but it may be quite a while.

you guys dont understand lol.. vzw s6/s6e CANNOT trip knox to root the device.. it will fail EVERY time unless someone found a way to unlock the BL and didnt share with anyone.. he is stuck until a new root exploit comes out that doesnt involve custom kernels/unlocked BLs since its not possible on vzw

I was giving general information about what tripping knox does.

I could not wait for someone to root the newest version of lollipop for Verizon, just purchased a rooted phone from Swappa.com and sold my S6. That is a faster way, IMO, Instead of waiting for someone to root OF1.

Well that sucks. I was pretty sure it would work since it was universal. And unless I'm mistaken CF auto root worked on the ATT and Verizon GS4 (my previous phone).

gs4 had a root method/loki on mdk bootloader and earlier..
vzw gs5 was towelroot with safestrap..
i had both and previous galaxy phones..
the vzw gs4 was the last phone i was able to use custom kernels on.. gs5 however didnt have a tripped knox as towelroot was used and the BL was locked as it is now as well.

Current Root status for G920i on 5.1.1 14 Oct Update?

Hi guys,
I just got a new g920i on 5.1.1. I checked Chainfire and his root only supports up to 5.02. What is the currently the easiest way to root/install custom ROM such as XtreSolite on my S6? is it compatible to begin with?
the guide to root here also doesn't work with my model: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/s6-g920f-5-0-2-engineering-bootloader-t3209916
need to be doubly sure as I don't want to brick my phone after tripping knox..

Use a custom kernel to root, easy as can be.

I think this is the most asked and most answered question on XDA right now. If tripping Knox concerns you, don't root.

@ dylansmith, look here: S6 5.1.1 Root

root WITH tripping knox?

so everyone seems to be focusing on a way to get root without tripping knox.
what if you dont give a F about whether knox knows you are rooted?
is there an easy way to root the verizon model then?

Nougat Beta??

Has anybody been able to enter the Samsung beta Program?
Dumping files for us for G930T? The G930F already posted the Odin files for Nougat Beta

yes

The 14th should be when it's released to the accepted registered beta testers. The dates are posted in the beta app

9th for Sprint, 11th for Verizon, 14th for TMO

Thanks every one, hope someone dump does files for us

Whoever gets the update tomorrow. PULL THR UPDATE ZIP!
If I get it I will and post it. I have ready done this from my wife's sprint edge variant.
Here is how you do it:
You have to be on the latest firmware and not rooted.
If you get the update notification.
Download it, but do not install it.
Then root your device. DO NOT WIPE IT
The update.zip is located in /data/fota/update.zip
Pull it using adb or use root Explorer to move it to the root of your SDCard and then your pc.
Please wait for someone to verify it works before flashing the update or unroot.

Unfortunately I will not be able to pull said update as I do not want to root my device. I require working Knox and other benefits.

After you root you can go back to stock, then flash the latest update.zip you shared with everyone. Knox and everything will work just fine

No. I've rooted and gone back to stock. Knox and Samsung pay work for me with no issues.

Only on the Exynos S7.
We use an engineering kernel that's signed by Samsung for root, so it doesn't trip Knox.

The root method for us doesnt trigger knox.
If I could Pull the update.zip It would be a pleasure but it was Full for register when I tried.

I'll see if I can pull the file for you gentlemen and ladies. I just don't really need root so I have not put attention to the rooting method since the note 5?
