Just bought N915F and want to root it to use adblock, TB and call recorder.
Is there any way to root it without tripping knox counter ?
Read about Kingroot but not sure if it safe.
Really tempted but want to know for sure if there is a way to have root (even just until reboot) ?
P.s does app like adblock need to have root access all the time or it enough to give it root once with temporary root (kingroot for example) and it will still work afterwards ?
Thank you for helping.
What firmware do you have?

If that is 5.1.1 I'm not sure if root works. If it is 5.0.1 or below there is root.

It is 4.4.4
How can I root it without tripping the knox for sure?
I don't want to update it to lollipop because I read that there are bugs and battery life decrease.

You can't root it yet without tripping knox. Maybe kingroot has an option, you can search for it in play store. They don't have a working solution for lollipop yet, but maybe for kk. You can try, but remember the risks..
Personally I chose to root with cwm and then flashing super su. Knox 0x1...
I'm on 5.0.1 and I don't experience any battery drain compared to kitkat. Nor any bugs. Guess some are unlucky.
Only thing is camera shutter is no longer on the edge, and Facebook notifications can be a little bothersome when you're playing games as they now comes both on edge screen and main screen. Samsung really should do something about this.

There is anyone that tried kingroot and can give his opinion?
If Knox tripped, Samsung won't repair even if it is a hardware problems? I don't care about software services but only about the hardware.

I have heard from ppl that some SC are not that concerned with KNOX.
Personally havent had that pleasure yet.
I rooted my phone today itself. God forbid something bad happens and i am forced to do a trip to SC, and they refuse my warranty on the basis of KNOX, i'll find a way to hard brick it so badly that not even the splash screen would boot up!
After reading and searching, I rooted mine N915F yesterday but only with Chainfire root method. Cf-autoroot didn't work for me.
As for sc, you right! If they won't honor warranty because of knox, making hardbrick will shut them off.
Personally, I have a Nexus 5 and never had Knox or rooting problems but my wife stick to Sami. Have knox on her S4 mini and now on Edge. I really hate Sami for this but as you all know, happy wife = no heading for the husband

I just received my warranty replacement S3 from verizon and noticed it came with 4.3 installed. I looked around to find out how to root it and unlock the bootloader and from what I've read, the bootloader is locked completely, for now... Is there a root method I can use that won't trip this Knox crap? Sorry, I tried googling and searching but couldn't find a whole lot. I didn't even know about this Knox crap since I was always on CM11.

The only root method we have for VRUCML1 4.3 update is Saferoot. As you can see, it is in the S4 section but has been confirmed to work for the S3 on 4.3 plenty of times. You will obtain root access if you follow this.

Thank you, I'm rooted now. Hopefully someone will find a way around this knox security thing verizon's got going on. Otherwise I'll be on stock rooted 4.3 for awhile. Thanks again, rooted is a lot better than nothing

No problem! Would you like to run custom TW VRUCML1 roms? Cuz Hashcode ported Safestrap over to the S3 which allows one to flash roms based on the same kernel as the VRUCML1 OTA.

So I've been rooting my Samsungs since my Galaxy S2, but tripping Knox has always been unclear... As of know I'm running stock recovery, stock NE5 rooted and have 0x0... Does that mean I have not tripped Knox yet?
And if it doesn't, will I trip Knox by flashing a custom recovery?

That is correct, you have not tripped Knox yet, and yes, flashing custom recovery will trip Knox

You can root with CF auto root. This will trip Knox flag (don't know if you care).

As you told me about this method CT Auto Root ( I never heard before) , i was searching online for it and I found the website https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ , i dont know how Knox Flag will effect my Galaxy S6 , but presuming that's not a big deal , the CF Auto Root website doesn't show anything about SM-G920V , or maybe they haven't update all supported models !
Anyway thanks for replying !

@1663 Tripping knox will void your warranty (unless you are in the EU it's debatable). Secondly you won't be able to use Samsung Pay.
I could care less about Samsung Pay. Wherever they accept SP they will accept Google Wallet, for the most part. I just bought mine brand new and it came with this build. I'm really regretting this device. I hope someone roots it, but it may be quite a while.

you guys dont understand lol.. vzw s6/s6e CANNOT trip knox to root the device.. it will fail EVERY time unless someone found a way to unlock the BL and didnt share with anyone.. he is stuck until a new root exploit comes out that doesnt involve custom kernels/unlocked BLs since its not possible on vzw

I was giving general information about what tripping knox does.
I could not wait for someone to root the newest version of lollipop for Verizon, just purchased a rooted phone from Swappa.com and sold my S6. That is a faster way, IMO, Instead of waiting for someone to root OF1.

gs4 had a root method/loki on mdk bootloader and earlier..
vzw gs5 was towelroot with safestrap..
i had both and previous galaxy phones..
the vzw gs4 was the last phone i was able to use custom kernels on.. gs5 however didnt have a tripped knox as towelroot was used and the BL was locked as it is now as well.

Will there be any effort to obtain root but not trip knox?
I will pay. It seems most have just given up on keeping it.
Remember, safestrap on note 3? That was bomb.
All my notes (1-5) so far haven't tripped knox, I hope to not start now.
Roms without all that bloatware is so nice

Hello all,
I read a lot of stuff here about root but I couldn't find an exact answer to what I look for.
I would like to know if rooting:
1. Loses the fingerprint?
2. If xposed Amplify really helps improving the standby drain or other xposed app. (at the moment I am sitting at between 0.8%-1.1% / hour overnight and I find it unacceptable)
3. Main disadvantage if rooted (besides loosing warranty because I don't care)
thank you.

1. No you will not lose the fingerprint sensor, even custom kernels have now fingerprint support.
2. Yes it does, I'm using it and I couldn't be any more happier.
3. The main disadvantage is that when an update arrives, then the only way to update is via smart switch ( a pc application) and you will have to re-root after that, though I don't consider it as a problem.
A big thanks to you kid xda user.

I thought after knox is tripped there's no way to get an ota update, does smart switch wipe the phone and install a new firmware or just update without wiping?

It basically installs a new firmware, but I think it doesn't wipe your apps or pictures, but root will be gone and besides the Knox flag, your phone will return to official status.

Cf autoroot with Knox tripped
The international version of the S7, the Exynos-based SM-G930F, can be rooted e.g. using the CF auto root kernel.
I'm not aware your SM-G930T (T-Mobile USA) already can.
