[Completed] [Q] Rooting SM-E500HF (aka Galaxy E5) - XDA Assist

Hello.
I have a E5 using Stock ROM with latest update running 4.4.4 KitKat.
I wasn't thinking about rooting it but I need a few changes that requires permissions.
I read about CF autoroot etc. but none worked using exploits (Updated Firmware )
I'm not really into flashing using Odin, I don't want an entry in my Knox...
Is there anyway I can root my device without adding an entry to my knox?
Thanks.
(PS: XDA needs A and E series subforums!)
More data on attach.

Still waiting for an answer ...

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. You generally can't modify Samsung devices without tripping Knox unfortunately, so you have a difficult choice to make.

Hello!
So, is there a way to backup/reset Knox?
Is "Triangle Away" used to reset Knox?
Thanks!

You can read about Triangle Away here
[2014.01.15][ROOT] TriangleAway v3.26
But your device isn't on the list of supported devices.

Is there a way for me to help developer to develop a round about for my device? Or do i just have to wait?

You could try contacting the developer and asking, if you're willing for your phone to be a guinea pig.

[Q] To trip(KNOX) or not to trip? That is the question

Hi guys! I just got the samsung s4 i9506 yesterday. As much as i like the phone and everything it came with, i rooted it using towelroot. Everything was fine and dandy, until i decided to update it using kies. It now runs 4.4.2 kitkat. This is really bad as towelroot won't work. Only way i figured to root it is by tripping KNOX. Someone please help me with a few questions please
What might happen if i trip KNOX?
What are the consequences?
What effects might it have on my phone?
Will I be able to update my phone to later firmware?
Will I be able to install custom roms?
What are the differences of having tripped KNOX?
FYI, I don't think i'll be using KNOX...EVER
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!thank you
*Bump*
someone?

[Completed] Unrooted Galaxy Note 3

Hello Forum,
I recently rooted my Galaxy Note 3 without tripping knox and then Unrooted it. However, when I try to update my phone it says "Update failed. Your device will recover the original configuration.". Any suggestions?
Which carrier do you have? There are a couple ways to fix this, easiest is to completely return to stock. Reply with what carrier your on and I will link you to a guide.
Thank you.
T-Mobile

Thank you for the reply. My carrier is T-Mobile. Will reverting to stock trip my knox counter?

It says that I need to be updated to the latest stock firmware. Due to the updates failing after Un-Rooting, I cannot update.

Would be possible to install a custom ROM keeping knox 0x0?

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

root

Hi.
What is the best and easiest way to root + custom recovery.
I was fine doing it with my previous galaxy devices but seem to be a bit harder this time lol
Seems more complicated.
I'm running Android 5.1.1
Thanks in advance.
There are several threads about rooting 5.1.1 in this section and general section. Try searching for them!
try searching lol. im not the kind of person to just ask for somthing without searching.
its just a bit confusing as to which one to use.
As you are using 5.1.1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/galaxy-s6-root-5-1-1-variants-t3147074
trips knox, no way without tripping it.
btw., one of the first threads in the general section

Actually, there is a way to do it without tripping Knox. I'm on 5.1.1 running xtrestolite rom and unikernel and my Knox is still intact.
Search the forum for the engineering bootloader for your phone.
The only downside is that you lose fingerprint functionality until you restore it all to stock.
Thank you I'll have a look now. Don't use finger print anyways. ☺

Here's the thread. Really should be made more visible in the regular S6 forum as well - it seems unbeknownst to many in here that it works on 920F too.

Root Method for S6 Edge G920i with out tripping knox?

Hello, I deleted a video and I would like to recover it, it seems most android recovery apps require a rooted phone. I don't plant to install any custom roms or recoveries, or kernels, I just want to be able to retrive my deleted files.
Any rooting method for the S6 Edge G920i variant?
Thank you
Of course no one would reply

Unfortunately it seems you haven't noticed the ridiculous number of threads and posts here on XDA that explain, in no uncertain terms, that you cannot gain root access on a Galaxy S6 running Lollipop 5.1.1 without tripping your Knox counter. Yes, your warranty will be voided, but when you have a heap of support here on XDA your issues can often be solved without the need to return the device to the retailer for repair.
This thread explains about the rooting process, and offers one of the best solutions available for the G920I...

My apologies on behalf of other peeps here that may have ignored your cries for help; it's just that we get so many n00bs asking 'how do I root my phone without tripping Knox?' before they use their heads and research the subject, it's gotten quite aggravating...
Hope you get sorted out, and for further details, try reading my Helper Posts...
