Is there a way to Unroot without flashing stock or tripping KNOX?
Thank you
I had my G920F rooted and I unrooted it with flashing a stock firmware with Odin.

Flashing the stock firmware through Odin is the only way I am aware of that will unroot.
It will not touch KNOX, but it does require a computer. Works every time.

If my phone have the let`s say swedish stock ROM and I update to Polish stock ROM that is a later build date via Odin... do I still get OTA`s for my phone or how does it work?! no knox tripped and all stock, just flashed another stock ROM via odin.
Hi! No tripped knox with odin: flash with stock rom and you keep ota ! Knox is tripped with flashing ,custom recovery or custom kernel auto cfroot.

ahh ok thanx! so it is only when Knox is tripped the OTA stops? will I still get the OTA like the swedesh one (kind of late sometimes) or will I get it with the Polish one?
As long as you are stock with no root and stock recovery OTA works - doesn't matter about knox.
I was rooted (with Knox tripped) but flashed the stock Vodafone over the top to get rid of root a twrp and the ota worked fine.

If I remember correctly when I read the s4 forums a while back you will receive the OTAs for the firmware you downloaded (so you'll get Polish OTA and not the Swedish ones) but I'm not completely sure on that.
Hello i have 920I with android 5.0.2 rooted with pingpong root and knox not tripped.
I want to update to 5.1.1 using smartswitch, and then rooting the stock rom.
Is there a procedure on how to do this as i have been confused because each thread gives a different method.
Also would i need to flash new bootloaders modems etc... after the update.
If someone can tell me or link me the best way to get a clean install of official 5.1.1 rom and root it.
Thank you

No, the update with have the latest bootloaders etc...
I have not done it because I don't want a custom kernel on my phone. I am not aware of way to do it without tripping knox.
I have Galaxy S6 running 5.1.1 stock rom.
The only reason I need root so xposed could be installed. What is the best way to root and install recovery without loosing any data?
Not worried about tripping knox etc.
Thanks

Im planing on selling my phone in 6 months but the company i want to sell it too does not accept rooted phones. Is there anyway to root and flash standard ROM back without triggering knox?
thanks
Just flash stock ROM onto device via Odin

So after rooting and putting a custom ROM on i can just put my stock ROM back on and thats not going to trigger knox??
If you've installed a custom ROM, I'm fairly sure that should've tripped the knox anyway (Correct me if I'm wrong), but if it didn't flashing stock Rom isn't going to trip it

Custom ROMs don't exist for the S7 US version.
Once tripped, tripped it is.
You talk about a custom ROM. Remember that you need to flash a custom recovery to flash a custom ROM.
Once you flash it, Knox becomes 0x1, tripped for good.
Even if you reflash your device with an official firmware, that will not hide the tripped Knox.
Samsung will always see that it was tampered with.
What you can do is hide root from specific apps, while using a rooted divece, but that's another story.
No one can revert Knox from 0x1 back to 0x0, at least not with any software.
I need to get to Knox 0x0.
I am willing to temporarily give up my custom rom and root and custom recovery by flashing stock rom using ODIN.
Will this get rid of knox 0x1? and restore knox 0x0?
thank you
i believe that once its tripped its tripped for good
Yes, you cant, ever. once you trip it, it is impossible to get back.
