Going to cut it as short as I can, and I'll probably sound like a noob and annoying at the same time. Can I root my Galaxy S5 T-Mobile 4.4.2 G900TUVU1CNK2 without triggering knox? I don't want to touch anything (no rom or loader or anything) - I just want it to be rooted so I have some access.
If that can't be done, can I root and yet still send back to T-Mobile as a warranty replacement without them charging me?
If I were to root, can I still use the OTA upgrade from Lollipop once it comes out or does it have to be done a different way?

Hi! It seems you're in a sticky situation with the GS3, 4.4.2, root and Knox.
I found an excellent thread that has some good info about everything you've asked about. You could ask further questions there as well. But read it all very carefully!!

Good luck!!

Okay guys. Here we go. I screwed up the other day while trying to load a custom ROM following a friends instructions. I tripped Knox on my Verizon Note II 4.3 and was forced to downgrade to 4.1.1. My phone is no longer rooted and I am trying to figure out how to root from 4.1.1 with a locked bootloader and then use safestrap to install custom ROMs. Sadly I cannot find any info anywhere after several hours of searching. I've read up on Knox and I could care less about warranty info (I bought the phone used after all) and I just want to be able to load custom ROMs so I can better enjoy my phone while being able to restore APN settings since I am running on a non-Verizon carrier service. Please help!
Edit: I used RootChecker to make sure that my phone is no longer rooted after downgrading to 4.1.1
Edit: Fixed with Kingo Root
I just purchased a G3 D850, I want to root this phone and take the un godly amount of bloatware off, My phone is Updated to Lollipop,
My question is can I root this phone and not have to worry about tripping something in-case I need to send it back in to be fixed. This is my first LG Droid, I have always been a galaxy s user until now and I know those have knox and triangle away and such that I can use and Samsung would never be the wiser.
I have searched threads about this but I cant find the answer that directly links to the Att D850 with Lollipop on it.

Yes if you root you can just follow my guide or any other LG flash tool back to stock guide.

Hello all,
I just got 2 new S6 Edges on contract with VZN through BB. Before doing anything, I removed the SIM and fired them up to check the OS version. It shows 5.0.2 (AOE2). I see there is a VERY easy root for it (Ping Pong). They are now sitting in the box, ready for activation.
But I have some questions:
1) I read in a few places that the OTAs that replace 5.0.2 fixed some sort of bad bug / security issue, but it also prevents you from rooting it as well. Is that true?
2) What exactly was (were) the issue(s) and can I still root 5.0.2 AND then fix them outside of VZN OT (e.g., other downloads from Samsung directly)?
3) If I root at 5.0.2, is there a way to preserve it, then OTA up to a newer OS (did this on my S5)? Or am I stuck with 5.0.2 forever if I want to keep root?
4) If I root, can I still get Samsung Pay to work, or will that now fail?
5) I read Ping Pong does not trip Knox. Is that really true?
6) Lastly, if I root, is it still easy to unroot the S6 (remove a few files and reboot)?
Thanks for any help and suggestions. Just a FYI, I root to make minor tweaks, not to load custom ROMs.

Hi All,
Apologies for the dumb question.
Just got a brand new unlocked Exynos s7 edge. My main concern is bloatware.
Is there any way to root the device to clear out bloatware without tripping Knox counter?
After rooting, do I need to install a custom ROM or can i leave the stock image. If i left it as is (only rooted) would i still get updates as per normal?
thank you
