Hey guys,
I am planning to move to 5.1.1 stock G920IIUS2COH1 for my 920I but I want to know if there is still no possible solution to root without tripping KNOX?
I have 5.0.2 rooted I did not install TWRP to avoid tripping KNOX, is this better to stick like that?
Thank you
You will not hear of a fix, it might come, it might never not. If you need root stick to 502

It's possible if someone manages to leak the engineering bootloader for G920I

You will need to flash back stock recovery in order to get ota updates.
Why do you need to trip knox??
you can root the S5 without tripping Knox!!

Even with the latest os 5.0?
I used to have an s4 and back then no one has found out a way to root it without tripping Knox and I'm not going to flash any custom rom. I just want the xposed framework and lucky patcher

You can flash back to kitkat and then upgrade with flashfire to stock rooted lollipop.

Really, and how is that done. I have an S5 on AT&T running 5.0, phone was replaced through warranty for a newer version of the S5.
Towelroot didn't even work on my phone when it was on 4.4.2 through 4.4.4
So if there is any that you know how to root my phone, please let me know because I've been looking for a working root since I obtained the phone.
Hello everybody
I want to upgrade to Android 5.1.1 without tripping KNOX. Is there a way to upgrade via FlashFire? I heard that is not possible because the new bootloader has a write protection (only downgrade is not possible anymore).
My current rom is G920FXXU1AOE3 rooted with PingPong-root.
Thanks in advance

You can unroot and upgrade without tripping knox. Although the only working root method for 5.1 is a slightly modified stock kernel (to my knowledge) which in turn will trip your knox. And yes, you're correct, once upgraded to 5.1 you cannot downgrade without special equipment.

I thought so. Hmm what if I try to flash the full stock firmware G920FXXU2BOFJ (DBT) over FlashFire with the EverRoot option and flash the bootloader via Odin?
Saafir said:
I can't answer that with certainty but sounds good in theory. Awfully risky shot in the dark though ;(

Unfortunately it doesn't work. I'm stuck now on Android 5.1.1 unrooted ??
A downgrade doesn't work even if I repackaged the firmware file (with 5.1.1 bootloader and 5.0.2 system, kernel and modem etc). It stops while flashing kernel... ?
For those who failed to root, have a look at this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qL9qKbQa54 It helped me rooted my S6 with Android 5.1.1 and Knox is still OK

Your link is broken and i highly doubt it was legit.
There are still no known way to root in 5.1.1 without tripping the knox counter, sorry.

Yes i also checked the video is no more on youtube . sorry folks
hy people.
its my first time on galaxy s6 here. for months i had the 5.0.2 firmware original, nothing changed, perfect. it was really fastest.
but when it comes out the 5.1.1 update, problems started. really bad battery life (i never had this problem), more lags un the transition animations, i can confirm this because for four moths i never had lag where now there are prominently.
so now i decide to come back to a rom/firmware with the 5.0.2 (0 problems in that firmware).
is there a possibility now?.
let me know, thanks. I'm on "G920FXXU2POFJ" (vodafone italy).
It's not possible to downgrade from 5.1.1
Nope. Not possible. Im getting a worse battery life than i had in 5.0.2 since now i don't root to greenefy a lot of apps. Still it is usable. When a root without tripping knox is available everything will be fine again.

There is a good chance that root without tripping KNOX may not ever happen again. Then people will have to choose if they still want root or not tripping KNOX.

I thought about that. In that case i would choose root. I giving some time to see if anyone can do it first. If not i will root it anyway
guys. I'm thinking. since there is on way to downgrade now, I'm on the 5.1.1 vodafone brand, can i install a ITV 5.1.1 NO-BRAND?
Anyone knows which post should I follow in order to get updates about 5.1.1 rooting? I've flashed manually (stock 5.1.1 on G920I) and I really regret that I can't root and install Xtrestolite right now.
Hey dudes,
I'm relatively new to Samsung devices, so I have few big questions.
1. Is it possible to root the new firmware G920FXXU2BOFJ without tripping KNOX counter?
2. If there is a way to root but only with tripping KNOX, can I somehow reset the counter and go back to 100% stock without any traces?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, there is a method using PingPong Root however you need to be on 5.0.2. If not then unfortunately there is no way to root at the moment without tripping knox.
I know about PingPong Root. But I'm asking to root 5.1.1! ?

No way without tripping Knox, if you don't care about Knox flash uni kernel which will auto root your s6

Okay, thanks. Is there any way to reset the KNOX counter (like TriangleAway), e.g. when I flash a stock rom will that reset the counter??

There is currently no way to reset the counter at the moment. I am sure some devs will figure it out at some point.
Alright! Thanks a bunch....Guess that means waiting for me
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!
