[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?

Root Telus S6?

Brand new never used Telus Galaxy S6 Model number SM-G920W8 Android Ver. 5.1.1
Anyone have any insight on how i go about rooting this? As everything i have read has not been with this model number? Just got this phone today but before i switch over from my S4 i want to root it.
Thanks

I have telus s6 and rooting is like any other galaxy s6. If you want to root without tripping knox, I have no clue..

Yea im fine tripping KNOX no biggie to me.
Your with Telus also? What ROM you running?

I'm currently using Venom http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-o-m-1-3-fast-n-smoot-92xifkls-30dec-t3282382
The only drawback I've had with this rom is that it has adblock enabled by default. So some websites will block your connection. However, there is a way to turn it off in script, so no biggy if you don't like adblocks.
I've been using it for a long time. It's the most stable without useless addons. Let me know if you need a point in the right direction getting root.

If you're looking for a clean stable and deodexed ROM i would suggest taking a look here
Auto-root included in kernel.

[Q] KNOX, Root, Gar VR

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?

To Root or not to Root S6 Edge SM G925F 6.0.1

Hi
Ive just bought a S6 Edge SM G925F on 6.0.1 and was wondering what benefits i would get from rooting
The phone still has warranty until june 2017 so im unsure weather to root or not
Cheers

If you dont know what the benefits are you should not root as you will not benefit from it.
What I mean is that its probably not worth the risk if you have to ask because you dont know anywhere near enough to use root to its potential.

If you want to get some nice Features like Xposed, Titanium Backup or Flashing custom Roms, root. If you are satisfied with your device as it is, let it unrooted. I rooted too and i love to test out new custom roms like Alexis Rom, Noble Note 7 Port.

Undoubtedly.
Android is meant to be rooted ^^

Could someone point me to the correct root tutorial
Thanks

Boot into download mode, open odin, flash cf-auto-root OR Flash twrp instead of cf-auto-root and then install supersu.zip from there

T-mobile 930T Oreo Rootable?

I have an S7 with the build number R16NW.G930TUVSACSI1, and I'm trying to find any way to root the device. I know the bootloader is locked. I'm not worried about custom ROMs. I just want root. Is that possible, at this point? It looks like 7.0 on this device could be rooted with cf-auto-root, but I have 8.0, and I don't think you can downgrade? Anybody have a fix for me? Thanks in advance!

Check out this thread; it's how I rooted mine. The eng-boot.tar that you need is posted a few times near the end of the thread. The ones that come in the root.zip aren't for the A/10 bootloader. https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616.
