I'm on the newest OTA of 5.1.1, and I want to root and don't really care about KNOX anymore. I just want to do so without wiping my phone or losing any data; custom ROMs are out of the question.
PignPong and Chainfire don't work for 5.1.1, the non-KNOX tripping solution breaks vital features, so I'm wondering if there is another way.
If you want root and not worried about knox flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...d-development/kernel-stockmod-kernel-t3100395 kernel to gain root.
I'm afraid there is still no method that will meet your needs.
Does this break anything? All features intact, no need to reset the phone?

Hi,
I know this has been posted a few times before but i was looking for an update.
I am looking to root my N915G without tripping the knox counter as i have only just got it and still want a valid warranty. I am aware that if i downgrade to kitkat i might be able to use kingroot to root without tripping knox but ideally i want to keep lollipop. I have tried all of the rooting apk's however all of them fail.
Is there any temporary solution that could work without tripping knox?
Thanks,
Alex
I would love that 2!
Hey guys
I recently acquired my S6 . I was wondering if someone could instruct me on how to root it? I don't mind tripping Knox or voiding warranty. I found rooting instructions but I'm not sure they work on my build and I don't want to mess up my phone. Please assist me in rooting. Build details are in screens hot below
I have the same problem. The current how-to is so outdated that i don't dare to root my phone using that.
And yes those builds complicate things.
same here I wanna root my S6 marshmallow without tripping KNOX
If you don't mind tripping KNOX the root is pretty simple. Just flash this file by Chainfire with Odin and you are done. However you can't root without tripping KNOX.

Hey, I want to root my GS6 but i'm not sure if it will trip the Knox counter or not. If I don't use a custom ROM with the root, I just keep using the one that it came with, will KNOX be tripped?
If you are on 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 you have to Trip Knox. I remember there is a engineering Bootloader somewhere which allows you to root without tripping Knox. But not sure about this.
Wondering what I can do on my S6 that doesn't trip Knox, if anything. Running Android 5.1.1 (just downgraded from 6.0.1).
Would love to be able to run a custom rom like LineageOS and have perm root, but if that requires tripping Knox, its not worth it to me.
Hi guys, I'm thinking about rooting my Exynos S8+ G955F but there's a few things I wanted to confirm first.
First of all I know rooting will break Knox so no Samsung Pay/Health/etc. That's fine, but will it affect Sidesync? I use this daily and don't want to lose it.
Secondly all the info I've read suggests that rooting will break OTAs which doesn't line up with what I know about Magisk. Is there no systemless root available, or is it because rooting breaks Knox and no Knox means no OTAs? If I can't do OTAs can I still sideload updates?
Finally, should I consider any custom roms? I don't really want to be flashing an update every other week and I don't want to lose Android Pay so I'd rather stay on stock unless there's a good custom rom I should try.
